Kiur

I don't think they were trying to 'shame' anyone, it's just a touchy subject for most RP communities. I engage in ERP myself, though not for several months since, as others have said, it is not my focus.

Bumping because I'm playing again.

Kiur stands next to a barrel in the Forgotten Knight and says crazy shit like "You are a nice barrel. There are many like you but you are mine". If that doesn't get an approach, try again in 20 minutes.

1) From Yahoo chatrooms to Starcraft 1 to World of Warcraft, my RP was very bad. I have a memory of WoW where I horrendously godmoded and two players just walked away from it. Good for them, really. 2) Kiur is an imported concept, a character originally from From Vampire to Death Knight on WoW, she is now an insane necromancer here on FFXIV. Much of her concept has been tweaked so don't click that link thinking that's who you'll meet.

I'll get back to you in about five days, when I can afford to transfer my Au Ra future-rogue.

I think we're stuck in a pattern of, "who cares vs. depends on individual vs. is menstruation even real? vs. this is a... special topic vs. fat cat references vs. why gods?" I'm noticing that too. Seems people have in fact, gotten uncomfortable over the subject. Too bad.

Definitely 50+ and "Second Storm Lieutenant". The recruiter says I'm unable to be promoted any further and I don't know why.

I have a new goal in mind, the Maelstrom armor which requires various seals. I've already done some research but "Let the Hunt Begin" doesn't seem to be available (I wonder if I've done it already?) But when I touch the board it says "You are not authorized to participate in the Hunt". What might I be missing?

As for FC weeeeeeeeell I might know one, but I'd rather introduce you to them all and see if you feel like you fit and talk to the leader. That's ideal. Better idea to have an initial interaction with Kiur as a sort of litmus test of "Can we handle this person".

What's your guild's theme, though? The site in your sig seems a fair bit bare-boned.

I'll be buying a Tonberry plush next week. Sorry, not really on topic. Is that against the rules? Sorry. I just want to hug a tonberry.

When I saw your Lalafell I just thought it was a chibified version of Siren herself. Like "aww, she was cute when she was a child!" Or something.

"General" meaning "Basically anything". Let me set the scenario for you. A while back, after a brief break from WoW I logged in to find that my entire set of friends of the guild I was in decided to migrate to FFXIV. This was almost ten people that just gave up WoW. I didn’t join them immediately due to one particularly toxic member of our little clique, I felt like I ‘lost’ them a while back. But a couple weeks ago, the alpha of our group told me that the toxic person finally fucked off. He continued to sell FFXIV to me as a concept and kept saying how great it was, how robust the RP was, how professional the leadership in this one guild was. It was led by two former members of our WoW group, who dropped it due to a baby being born. I have about 172 hours played, only 30 minutes of which was spent actually roleplaying. That is an extremely skewed ratio for me. I was promised a brief plotline to get ‘inducted’ into this exclusive guild I was in, but it didn’t happen the night I was off. They claimed they would do it the next day. They didn’t. I have not heard a word about it since.[ After that, apparently a couple of members PM'd the Glead that I was being rude, snarky, and bringing the whole 'mood' down. I admit I am fairly snarky, especially considering I despised leveling as a dragoon (I rant about the ordeal here. So a lot of my frustration leaked into my general text and effectively alienated this guild. For the last two weeks the guild has been very silent ingame. A couple of events of which I have been unable to attend because Kiur remained 'plot-locked' for a Trial-By-Combat that nobody could get off the damn ground, and probably didn't want to due to some outdated OOC prejudices. (IE: I'm a lot more calm about the game now, since DRK is actually some level of fun). I quit the guild this morning and was promptly removed from their active Skype call which leaves me with this revelation: If I can't find something to keep me here, I'm moving on. Probably back to WoW or GW2. Kiur is not designed for tavern RP - And I've tried. Not here, specifically. On WoW, I often tried "Walk-up" RP and have Kiur spout her usual crazy-cute nonsense but 90% of the time she'd get ignored. I suspect players thought I was a 'troll' of some variety and was just trying to bullrush or interrupt their interactions. Which is odd, because it's likely you're not having an important, secret conversation or meeting in the middle of the Cathedral Square. But whatever. Here's a list of things I'd like to have. Not necessarily "need" but if one or two of these things aren't fulfilled soon, I won't be returning to the game after my subscription runs out. (28 days or so). An organization that can handle Kiur's eccentricities. Her necromancy is mostly background noise but if discovered, it would be nice if she wasn't surrounded by "cut her head off" types of knights. A lover. I know this is not a damn dating simulator but it would at least make my online time more interesting. For some obvious reasons, I'll keep details in private messages if there are any interested parties. A mentor. Likely going down the Dark Knight or Dragoon lifestyles, since those are the only two classes I have real access to. DRK is probably more fitting. DRG is less likely, since it seems to require a sort of discipline that Kiur does not have. I'd also be fine with people just to have Kiur talk to. Tavern RP, but more OOCly arranged than having her approach and yell "HEY WANNA HEAR ABOUT SOME SCIENCE". If I can't get one of these things in the next thirty days, I'm probably gone. I don't mean to make this sound like some kind of ultimatum, I'm just frustrated. Approaching 200 hours of gametime and barely a fraction of that has been spent roleplaying. I've even wandered around the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard only to see very little happening. I'm just frustrated, is all.

I tried ingame, are you on an alt or anything?

Kiur isn't much of anything ICly yet. She'll need some kind of mentor before she'd be able to evolve into anything. Right now she's mostly in Mad Scientist Mode with heavy armor. (I do main a Dark Knight, though). Would be interesting to go all-in with Dark Knight lore.

I've already said my piece but I'm just gonna go ahead and toss out the fact that I really like this thread. Discussions like this help break down the silly "Taboo" of the subject. It's no more or less gross than talking about some other bathroom-based bodily functions.

Been trying to add you ingame (Both names) and nothing is happening.

Periods put us off kilter but it doesn't tend to change our entire being, opposed to what comedians think.The whole system is a pain in the ass (ha?) so I tend to omit it from my roleplay. Kiur also has neurological damage anyway so her period, while present, probably wouldn't come across very much. As for devices or tampons? Pretty sure they exist. A similar question got asked in the GW2 RP community. With the presence of the Asura, most tech exists in their own way, with their own racial twists. Perhaps in Kiur's heavy armor, there's a sort of jock-cup? Instead of holding a dick, it'd capture her menstruation? Who knows. It might exist but there's no point in emoting its existence unless in very private settings.

+Respect for being against face claims. I found them useful in the past but as games got better graphically, I just figure "what you see is what they are". I wouldn't mind Kiur getting a face doodle done, I imagine her having a sort of crazy ":D" face at some point. Poke me for some RP sometime so I can get some points. You'll get an idea of how she acts, might help doodle a more accurate facial expression.

I don't know what that is either. But I got the 115 in the Forgotten Knight, which will help. Up to 116 now, where my Dragoon is. Happy about this.

I'd be the one pointing out the insanity in any given situation.

Ah, wonderful! (I'm still going to try to work on that token from Sychus Tower. That sword looks cool).

Actually I found the Old Gridania guy, and he DOES sell a bunch of 120 weapons... Except the one for Dark Knight. Figures, doesn't it?

I make about ~5-8k per Hard Mode dungeon I've been doing. I also have 10 silver chocobo feathers right now. I'll need to find that NPC.

I'm queued for Sychus Tower right now to get the token for the ilevel 100 weapon. Not the one I was hoping for but that's still far above the one I currently have.
