Nothing wrong with ideas they are what i need to make a working character concept. You guys have already made me think of many things that i didnt think of before.

Hmm i didnt even think of the Garlean refugee angle, That would be a better reasoning for him to want to learn to fight rather then one event in copperbell mines.

Hmm then maybe i can change something, no idea weather it would be easier to do race, or change somethings in the back story. I am trying to be as lore accurate as i can be just because that makes it better for the flow of things.

I am having trouble trying to really polish up the concept for my character. Here is what i have right now. He is a Xaela Au'Ra where i haven't really thought of the entire backstory of i was thinking something along the lines that he was orphaned in Ul'dah He took up mining from a young age due to fascination with the earth and knowing that if you dont work you dont eat. He has a very strong point of loyalty to those he considers friends and will do what he can. Due to being part of the first failed reopening of the copperbell mines he choose to pick up an axe (due to the fact it isn't that much different then working with a pick) to learn to fight in order defend himself and others as he goes about mining and studying the geology in more dangerous places. His biggest fascination is how the world works when it comes to the geology of the area and the complete infusion of aether in the soil. Any advice good or bad would be nice, I am not quite sure how to polish his concept up with out actually rping but don't want to rp till i have a semi decent concept. I am trapped in my own inadequacies.

Limsa more uses the Navigator in a couple ways not so much as superstitions but along the same way that ancient mariners would pray to Posidian for safety and protection. At least this is way i see it in game.

Another large part of it is how far the individuals go for their religion, The ishgaridans are run based on the church, To the point that most ishgardians can been seen as vehemently religious. There are also the primals witch are gods to each of the individual beast races. They worship them so reverently that they can end up bringing them into the physical realm. The easiest way that you can look at it the religion in the game is broke into three main parts. The mother crystal-For the most part either revered or worshiped in some way or form by all. The Twelve-For the sake of keeping it simple they are worshiped by the Good(player) faction The Primals- Worshiped as gods by the beastmen with each group having their own deity These are the three main religions and can all be broken down into subsets. Then you have slightly minor ones that i wont talk about because they can be big spoliers.

I personally like the Roe ascetic because of the fact they are humanoid but just enough off to give them their own identity. To me the way that i look at roe in this game is the same as Orcs in other and to me Orcs are probably one of the most fascinating fantasy tropes. This is because they can be as varied as humans but typically are pushed into the dumb brute catagory.

Hello all i am new here and considering i am bad at introducing myself and all that i am going to use the template that has been put in place. Also thank you for taking the time to read this, I will try to keep spelling errors to a minimum --MMORPG background Well i started playing MMORPG back in SWG times, that was amazing and where i draw most my expectations and general knowledge, After that i went to play WOW for a long time due to the new combat patch in SWG making my class useless. Since then i have played multiple MMORPGs everything from Guild wars to RF online. I fell on FF14 because it is the best of the modern MMOs and have played for about ayear on a non rp server before deciding i wanted to rp in the game. --RP experience I started to get into rp and learn about with DND and tabletop games like that, For video game rpgs i used to rp on SWG and in WOW even tried a little in Wildstar. I enjoy rp but compared to alot of people i am a novice and am willing to say there is a ton i can still learn from everyone. --Character ideas/info My character is Nekris Malqir and will make that my main. I am still working on his backstory but he is a warrior who mainly uses the ability to fight in order to protect himself as he explores the world just to find out what is out there. He enjoys mining and the idea that you can take items from the earth and turn it into useful items or just amazing looking items. He tries to look on the brighter side of any sitution but will never back down if he is challenged. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? i typically bounce between medium and heavy role playing but i stick to the more heavy side of things. --Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) I am a giant fan of the Warhammer 40k universe. Yeah other then that feel free to ask and i will answer. I am bad at sharing stuff unless directly asked.
