Hey, folks. I'm new here. I took some time to fill out the newbie template. Check it out!
MMORPG background
I first started with MMOs with World of Warcraft. I played a Undead Warlock back when they were designated as the "support" mushroom class in the DPS, Tank, and Healer trinity. Later on, I started focusing on tank classes. Some other MMO include: Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, and FFXIV. I primarily enjoy world exploration and large scale world PvP. It is safe to say I am competitive for PvP. Strangely, I have not gotten into FFXIV PvP. For both PvE and PvP, I opt for tanking and/or bruiser roles.
RP experience
I've had my fair share of text based roleplay and in person roleplay through D&D sessions. I can't say I have too much experience with roleplay within a MMO.
Off the top of my head, I could say that exploration and slice of life roleplays are probably my favorites. Story driven roleplays are also a plus where there is a long term objective that a character can slowly work towards. I value the journey more than the destination. I immensely enjoy survival aspect roleplays. Yep, I'm the dude who keeps track of food, water, and inventory space during D&D sessions.
The character I have the most experience has to be a orcish warrior archetype. A character who is brash, straight-forward and simple minded. I typically opt out of any sort of magical, unnatural abilities, and teleportation since I prefer more conventional solutions to roleplay problems. I try to balance out every positive aspect of my character with a disadvantageous aspect.
Character ideas/info
For FFXIV, I want to play as a roguish character for a change of pace. I have a melting pot of ideas so I'll just list them as quick points. Constructive feedback is always welcome!
