Kodie

My schedule is weird with irl, other rps and doing end game stuff, but hope we will run into each other, Kodie is normally at Limsa or Ul'dah, at the taverns

I. Basic Info Characters:Kodie Durant, Korben Laurent Primary character:Kodie Durant Linkshells:N/A Primary RP linkshell:N/A II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Medium to heavy rping, though I do also work on my character end game wise, I try to at least get my daily/weekly stuff out of the way first (roulette, weekly item clears) Views on RP combat and injuries: I'm open to dice play, to free style, and of course predetermined fights depending on the situation. As far as injuries go, obviously that would depend if a healer or medic is near by. Views on IC romance: I'm a sucker for romance in roleplays, Kodie is currently with someone, but is totally fine with an open relationship, and friends with benefits, that is of course as long as the other person who plays his girlfriend is cool with that. Korben however is in a monogamous relationship, and loves Taari dearly. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Kodie has no family, but helping out friends in a non-romantic sense is certainly fun, he has a good set of friends that he would like to help out. And of course being an Adventurer for hire, he is open to all sorts of jobs that can be offered to him, legal and well...not so legal. Korben doesn't have family that he knows of, but being a former member of the Maelstrom, he could have fellow officers in arms that would remember him. Views on lore: I've done my best to research what I could on various sites, and even asking questions to others about certain things related to the game, of course I don't mind bending some rules in lore for the rp, but I won't break anything. Kodie is a skilled Adventurer, but he's not the Warrior of Light, he sure as hell wouldn't want that responsibility, he's more of a "under the radar" type. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I will rp in /say, and /emotes, but if the rp goes the romance (even if it means holding his significant other) route with another character, I will take it to /tell or /party chat III.

Welcome to the group!!

Welcome!!!

It's always been a thing for me through my years of rping, but I always worry that my partner may get bored in the middle of a scene, so I always find myself asking in the middle of it "Hope you're having fun!", and of course the whole thought of "Oh man they hate this, they think I suck, ugh!" I also prefer private rps mostly because I always think that other people outside my roleplay will judge me for some reason. Yay for insecurities!

Kodie's mask is stolen Garlean tech, so if she sees him with it (he's been known to wander around calibrating it, not as much as Garrus calibrates stuff of course :3).

Our times do not seem to meet (I'm in East coast, and will log off at the latest Midnight est) but the storyline definitely sounds cool, hope to hear updates!

1. Wind up Leviathan 2. Thavnarian set 3. Orchcestrion Also I love the "selfie" style pic you did for the Thav set pics.

Yeah I could totally see someone not adjusting well to the new culture and snapping like that turning to more primal sport hunting. I hope you consider that idea, I'm sure you can get others who would be into the idea as well.

Oh yeah I'd give it a couple of weeks until you see any difference, I know mine were subtle. Of course now I'm kicking myself going "Why didn't I do this sooner!?!?" Good luck, I'm hoping for the best turn out!

I think for me, I am guilty of years ago thinking depression and anxiety a "Oh get over it" thing. But my wife suffers from both, and it's been a learning process over the past 12+ years of our relationship. It also made me realize I had depression and anxiety as well, I began to realize I had them a few years ago, and then realized that through out the years before hand there was plenty of evidence. The depression hit me even harder this past year after having multiple fall outs with friends. I dislike my current job, but depression made me loathe coming to work on Mondays that I had to fight the urge to say "meh fuck it, I'm not coming back." which in turn would be a big financial risk. Granted I had the thought of my wife knowing she had it tougher than me (she had other things going on that I won't disclose) and also didn't want the financial burden to be put solely on her. But I hated that feeling of dread. I also suffered from the downward spiral where if something made me angry, I would eventually get to a self loathing feeling like it was some how my fault, and I even took personal offense to almost anything, even if said subject was not about me. So finally after advice from my wife, I decided to take the medication route. I'm on 20mg of citalopram which I take daily. Initial side effects really did suck though, I couldn't get a decent night sleep for almost a week, and I was very shaky. But after those effects wore of, I was feeling better, things didn't bother me as much, I didn't feel that dread. I do feel moments of depression still, but it wears off quicker than it did before hand, I didn't have the "spiraling down" feeling most would feel. It also helps with with anxiety, but it's an SSRI which may work or not work well with your body, it really depends. I know my wife had to try multiple medications to find the one that worked for her. So I'd suggest going that route, I know the stigma is still out there that "Medications are baaaad!!" and people are afraid they won't be themselves (I know I was worried about that hence why I took so long to try and take them) but I think it was one of the best decisions in my life, things are not perfect, but they are certainly better. Hope this advice helps.

Welcome!!!

They look really good!

Ummm don't know why it's letting me delete this, but sorry for the double post lol

Welcome!! Kodie has a friend who is a voidsent and promised to keep that a secret from others, so he has no problems befriending more of them, just as long as they don't try to kill innocent people lol So if you run into him in game say hi!

Welcome!!!!

I'm an assistant to a shop foreman at a Earth Moving equipment shop, Kodie would probably walk out the first day, or at least go tinkering with the machinery.

Oh man I love that Tangled piece, I definitely want to do a commission with you soon. Gonna follow you on Facebook!

Hello there!! I've been rping in Balmung for several months (arrived on the server in June from Gilgamesh), but I figured I'd say hi here, and maybe even use the forums when I can. I'm sure I've ran into a few folks around various parts of Eorzea. I do have an alt that I'd like to rp at some point, but I'm lazy and just focused on working on Kodie's end game stuff when I'm not rping. I've been roleplaying from various freeform sites for the past fifteen or so years, but this has been the first time I've rped in an MMO and I rather enjoy it! I look forward to meeting you all!!! -Kodie

Certainly, never rped in PMs here, but can give it a shot at some point!

I've seen your character several times at the Quicksand! We'll have to meet up at some point! -Kodie Durant
