Hey there! Figured I'd drop a welcome in, from one newcomer to another!

Not shocking at all! ^^ So welcome fellow Ala Mhigan to Eorzea and the RPC! My RP time is always super scarce and super random, but if you ever do catch me on, feel free to say hi to Sounsyy. She's another former Ala Mhigan Resistance member from back in the day. Awesome! I'll absolutely say hello if I ever see you online!

Thank you! I hope I do as well!

I. Basic Info Characters: Thruinaux Baelmont Primary character: Thruinaux Baelmont Linkshells: None(Yet!) Primary RP linkshell: None(Yet!) [*] II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): If I had to classify myself into a category of RPer, I would most certainly refer to myself as a heavy RPer. I love long, overarching plotlines and well developed characters. I also tend to be In Character as often as possible, as the bulk of my reasoning for playing MMOs as a whole is RP. (Though I find myself enjoying FFXIV to a far greater extent that just about any other MMO I've ever played, and as such this motivation may find itself subject to change) Views on RP combat and injuries: I feel that RP combat can be thoroughly enjoyable, provided that OOC communication is maintained throughout the course of the interaction in question. I personally have no problem relying on random /rolls and the like, though my personal preference in regards to RP combat is to free emote whenever possible. I find that free emotes provide the opportunity for greater creativity and more dynamic encounters. Views on IC romance: I feel that IC romance can be an exceptional opportunity for character development, though I also feel that IC romance should take place over an extended period of time, rather than simply popping up out of nowhere at the drop of a hat. That said, I feel strongly that(like any other form of RP) romance RP requires OOC communication between all parties involved. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Just as I feel that IC romance can be a great opportunity for character and plot development, so too can non-romantic RP. Close character friendships, familial ties, and even distant acquaintances are perhaps some of the most defining factors of who an individual is, and as such, RP characters are no different. I personally am happy to RP just about anything that could conceivably fall into this category (I quite literally am just happy to RP in general) that said, as with any manner of RP, I strongly believe in consistent OOC communication. Views on lore: Though I am still relatively new to FFXIV lore, I have enjoyed just about all I have been able to discover and learn about thus far. In regards to how lore impacts RP on a more general level, I feel lore should be adhered to within the bounds of reason for RP. That said, I have never been a lore purist so to speak in any setting before now, and doubt that I'll develop such a mentality here. Provided your character has a valid reason for being who they are or doing what they do, I feel lore can be interpreted fairly loosely... That said, if your character is the long lost step-child of the Primal Shiva, I'm probably not going to be terribly inclined to believe you. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): As of the present, I am still fairly hazy on how some of the more unique chat functions of FFXIV work (Linkshells are mind bogglingly confusing to me at the moment, though I expect this to change once I gain some personal experience which them). I generally RP with custom emotes, and denote OOC conversation and actions with a pair of double brackets "((...))" As far as RP goes, I tend toward longer, paragraph length and above emotes, though this isn't to say I dislike RPing with people who prefer other styles, this is simply what I'm used to and prefer out of habit.

Thank you for the welcome! It's nice to meet you!

Hello there everyone! My RL name is Sean, though I generally just go by the name of whichever character happens to be my main character in a given setting(Or by Phoenix), though to be entirely honest I tend to answer to just about anything provided I am given reason to suspect that I am the one being addressed. I am actually a returning player to FFXIV and the RPC community as a whole, though I figured I'd reintroduce myself anyway, as I was forced away from the game and community due to a dying computer before I had much of an opportunity within which to partake in RP. In any case, I am an experienced RPer who has bounced around from game to game for quite a few years now, in fact, I've been in so many places that some of you coming from other games may already know me to some capacity. To list a few of my many main characters, I was Markus Sharps in Guild Wars 2, Alarrick Eglan in Lord of the Rings Online, Pyre Valisade in Star Wars the Old Republic, Markus Ward in The Secret World and Marrick Korvall in The Elder Scrolls Online. Of those named above, I do continue to RP in varying capacities in Guild Wars 2, Star Wars the Old Republic and The Secret World. The character that will be taking the roll of my main, so to speak, is Thruinaux Baelmont. Thruinaux is still very much a work in progress in regards to a concept, but for the time being I've decided to RP him as a native of Ala Mhigo (Yes, I know, he's an Elezen from Ala Mhigo, SHOCKING!) Thruinaux was a resident of the City State at the time of it's fall to the Garlean Empire, and carried on to become a prominent member of the Ala Mhigan resistance. Quite a few years and number of extenuating circumstances(The details of which are still in development) later, and Thruinaux is now a freelance adventurer and mercenary wandering Eorzea alongside a select few close companions.(Who will in time be RPed by a small group of close RL friends who will eventually be making their way into RP) If I had to classify myself into a category of RPer, I would most certainly refer to myself as a heavy RPer. I love long, overarching plotlines and well developed characters. I also tend to be In Character as often as possible, as the bulk of my reasoning for playing MMOs as a whole is RP. (Though I find myself enjoying FFXIV to a far greater extent that just about any other MMO I've ever played, and as such this motivation may find itself subject to change) Despite my preference for heavy RP, my play times can vary somewhat dramatically. I work from 6AM to 2:30PM EST on weekdays and have weekends off, but my RL social life frequently drags me away from RP for short periods of time, and my continued RP in various other MMOs also lends to a tendency of disappearing at random intervals. All in all, I am thoroughly enjoying FFXIV as a game, and can't wait to immerse myself in RP. As such, I look forward to seeing each and every one of you in game at some point in the near future!
