Has anyone been inviting? I dont think I got an invite yet. Just wanted to check in case my username might be wrong or something.

Hey guys! Here is my introduction thread link: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=13334 So you can get some basic insight on who I am, and what kind of character I anticipate on playing. :3 As far as what I'm looking for, is some basic connections (FCs, Linkshells, and people!) I'd really like an OOC RP Community linkshell. I posted in a thread on the directory for one, but haven't gotten answered yet/havent seen people online for them. As for what kind of RP I enjoy: Any, really. As long as it is applicable to FF14 lore. Some speculation lore is okay just as long its not too stretched. I would say I'm more of a heavy rper, but I am open to pretty much all approaches as long as I can understand your posts/your character is generally lore abiding. (I am no where near all-knowing of FF14 lore, but dont try to bring in things that aren't a part of the FF14 universe, such as being a drow or demon. Im also not elitist, despite this sentence, I promise!) Any themes are loved, from adventuring, tavern talking, budding romances (please no wham-bam-shabam stuff/cybering. More 'explicit' RP is fine as long as its tasteful and has a purpose/in private channels. Public affection is fine, and open to both genders, though Kiht'a as a specific character may fancy company of males in that fashion) rivals, anything. I love open world RP. I would like to get into some fellow Miqo'te RP, perhaps tribal stuff? I am also open to darker themed RP. Post here or add/talk to me IG if you want to connect! :3 I also enjoy constructive criticism on my characters!

Thanks everyone for your posts on the questions! Learning more every day! I've also updated the OP with some basic info on me! ^^

Would like an invite as soon as possible! Currently in world transfer, so not sure how soon that will be.

I think I'd love to give you guys a try once I get my characters' profile set up! I am brand new to FF14 RP, are you open to people who aren't well-versed lore wise? Im slowly reading up on things, but silly questions may arise. X.x I've also RPed for 15+ years now in various platforms.

It's sort of a multi-verse, like some have said already. Some games share world names, but not always the "world" itself. Like FFVII and FFIX both take place on Gaia, however, the two Gaia are different. FF Tactics and FFXII both take place in Ivalice, though there was some talk if I remember correctly that they were same world, just 1,000 years apart. FFX took place in Spira. FFXI was on Vana'diel. FFXIII is Gran Pulse (iirc). FFXIV's world is named Hydaelyn. Dimension hopping between them all seems possible given the Lightning events where FFXIII's main character came to Eorzea. Shantotto from FFXI's Vana'diel also crossed into Hydaelyn briefly by some fluke of magic. Also, Atomos in the XIV and XI universe is a dimension hopping/folding void creature who ventures into worlds shortly before some calamitous event and consumes their lifeforce/aether/mako/lifestream whatever. In short, the lore of FFXIV's world, Hydaelyn, is its own and not tied to any of the previous games by anything other than coincidence and familiarity. Several elements from the series are present in most all of the games but in most cases the lore behind each world is unique to the individual game. Hope this helps! ^^ This helped clarify a lot of things! Thank you Sounsyy~ I think I'm slowly getting the hang of stuff! I wonder if the Elemental Gods (Ifrit, Idin, Bahamut, etc.) transcend all the multiverses as the same beings? (At least I think they are elemental gods? ) Im such a newbie. X.x

Thanks for the confirmation Oli! This makes a lot of sense. Do these worlds such as Clouds, Lightnings original world, etc) have names (like Eorzea), or is it pretty vague? Would these worlds generally have a name in the 'universe'? Sort of like shards or something?

Above spoiler is my pre-introduction, before I was on Balmung. I've recently transferred successfully, and from what I've seen, things look fun! I've yet to do any actual RP yet, however. As for some basic stuff on me: MMORPG Background: Oh, where to start? I've started with Runescape, then EQ, EQ2, WoW (most of my MMO life) and then a few smaller MMO's in between including GW2, TSW and SWTOR. If there's an MMO around, chances are I've tried it at least once. Games are my hobby alongside art--however that is more of a career now. I also have RPed in most of them. RP Experience: I've lost count of how many years I've RPed. But my most earliest time I could say I've RPed, was in EQ with a friend I knew for a while. I'm 23 now, and I started EQ when I was around 8 years of age (I know, pretty young)! If I had to say definite amount of years, I'd be comfortable saying around 10-15+ years I have RPed. Of course my experience back then wasn't as refined as it is now. But, I'm always learning on new ways to RP. RP to me, is like writing a story without a definite end. To give life to what is lifeless--make the world you are in feel more realistic and imaginable. Character Ideas/Info: I haven't given TOO much thought about my character thus far. I sort of have a general idea for an outcasty/mercenary/rogue-type character. He's sort of light-hearted, cocky, curious, and somewhat of a 'kid' in the sense that most things are a game to him. Though he is somewhat wary of people, he does try to open up and say hello sometimes. He's a Keeper of the Moon Miq'ote at the current time, however I may end up using the appearance change system to remake him to a Seeker if they allow us with the paid service. But if this personality fits as a Keeper, then he may stay a Keeper. If anyone has ideas or would like to RP to help develop this character, I'd love to hear or come in contact with you! How did you learn about the coalition?: I always look to see if an MMO has an established RP community prior to actually buying or playing the game. If there is no way for RP to flourish at all, most likely I wouldn't play the game. I do like the game generally, but not enough to play it without RP. I just love the extra layer of icing RP gives to the game. What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, Medium, or Heavy?: Mostly Heavy RP. Sometimes if I have an off day, it can fluctuate, but I like long story-driven plots, relationships between characters, and allowing things to start from the ground up. Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing?: Currently I am enrolled in online-college classes at the Academy of Art University, and majoring in Illustration. I'll be graduating around May in 2017 with an Associates Degree. I'm hoping to do some menu-artwork for some smaller businesses, or anything that I can lend my craft to once I'm out. That includes comissions for characters, and many other things. I have 2 geckos: a leopard gecko named Hiro, and a gargoyle gecko named Iza. I am on the East Coast. I also attend Tekkoshocon most of the time in the Spring, for those who know of it. I think I'm a pretty open, fun person. :3 So, please feel free to poke me or say hello! Also, my Deviant Art Gallery if you are interested!: http://poisoned-paint.deviantart.com/gallery/

I could be mistaken, but it seems Square has taken to outright blocking Balmung through character creation. At least if their news tab is any indication. Your only bet would be to go through with a transfer. Ah, I thought the O needed to be marked for transfers or creations? If not, I think its good news for me because I plan on transferring from Gilgamesh. I have a level 20; dont think I'd feel like leveling again, rofl. I probably just need to continue to wait, since my character doesn't show up in the drop down box. Thanks for the clarification! :3

This still going? I'll be watching stuff if someone updates this.

I'm poisoned.paint Please add me. I haven't yet been able to get onto the server yet though.

Ah, thank you guys! : )

Hey there guys; forgive me, but I havent looked over the whole thread besides the OP, but, I recently started playing almost a day or so ago, I believe the character may be 2 days old? Hes in the next zone over from Gridania now. And on Aether/Gilgamesh. I tried to transfer with the $18 thing, but supposably its not working; tried RIGHT as servers came up at 6am EST. Could it be my character is too young yet, or is this the usual difficulties?
