Rhynka

If I'm not mistaken (and I'm sure Kylin will correct me if I am), this has since been amended so that time-jumpers are entirely allowed. Which means that whether I bring Rhio or an alt is down to another possible attendee. But I have every intention of being there, quite possibly with bells on. Awesome! Due to the time, Razamir has to work, but I will be able to show up ICly, he'll have returned meaning Rhynka would not be waiting for him still. So I can be there unless some unexpected RL stuff comes up. Rhynka can keep her sticky fingers to herself for this special occasion as well! She has more personal reasons for wanting to attend! This has been posted on a flyer I am assuming so I'll use that as the reason for having knowledge of it taken place. If I am mistaken please let me know, if not see you all there!

I'd love to come lurk and watch if that's an option. Since it happens before the time jumpers are back Rhynka can't be there. She isn't leaving the area Razamir vanished in outside of hunting and scavenging trips. Rhynka at that time is dead set on clinging to hope of him returning. She's a dedicated lady! :thumbsup: If silently observing isn't possible, I hope to see many pictures of all the fun!

I think she looks classy enough to pull of the lipstick! It's a nice touch with her fair skin!

:surprise::moogle: Congrats! When did you find out? :thumbsup: We've known since the end of last month but the doctor stuff hasn't started till this week. I have two more appointments over the next two weeks >.<, hence the bed rest and so on. Razamir and myself both thank you for the congrats! :love:

Razamir and I have been talking about doing a group dealing with those ideals and themes. We enjoy playing villains too. Rhynka and Razamir are more the neutral types so to them vengeance isn't all a good idea. Both of us have been trying to gather as much information as possible to get something like what Rock mentioned going. But baby business has surprised us and may consume most of our time as I get further along in the pregnancy. Things are kind of up in the air with this at the moment because we don't want to start something and have to abandon it in 7 or so months, we'd need a reliable IC AND OoC leader to take the reigns if needed. I'm probably going to be very casual playing for a while when things get further along. (I've been told I need bed rest today at the doctors ;.; ) I'll be sure to let any who are interested know if this is an idea we can in fact do and not half ass because of IRL circumstances!

From a feral perspective that could be true. Many seem to be playing city miqo'te males though, they may not share those beliefs. Rhynka and Razamir (My hubby's character are not city miqo'te.) Rhynka could and does understand the concept revolving around keeping the species thriving strong. Selfish isn't it, since Rhynka is his first any mating outside of her would be decided by her. Have you ever tried to step into the middle of two females disagreeing over ANYTHING? It'd be best if she was left with any final decisions in this situation. The female would have to be compatible with her (In a sisterly fashion) as even with IRL culture when it comes to multiple wives they HAVE to work together as a team, just like a pride of lionesses. I pity any man who'd try having multiple women in his caring affection I could just see him say one looks nice that morning cause maybe she didn't toss and turn and ruffle up her hair much, next thing you know fire balls and summoned eggis are flying back and fourth from a jealous spat. At that point the man who probably had good intentions to start (Maybe more seedy intentions.) would become collateral damage in what would be a War of the Women and what was supposed to be a nice morning basking in the dawn is now a blood bath with a baked Nuhn in the center! Yes I made a war of the worlds pun, and am rambling! So yeah, Rhynka would have to have a bond with the woman as well. Not saying it isn't possible, and ICly we play that there are others in the clan for Razamir, but they're as good as NPCs. I doubt anyone would ever want to RP with them at their home turf.

Rhynka isn't fond of city miqo'te. She is open minded and willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. She has no tolerance unprovoked disrespect and will return it eagerly no matter what race is the culprit is. Although Razamir is her "Nuhn" (It's more of a marriage their grasp on their traditions is quite loose), it's a bond of mutual loyalty, and love (He did lose one of his eyes protecting her after all). Considering her sometimes cranky composure her soft heart nature has lead her to accept many misfits into their clan, and at times can over look race in very special circumstances. Being a pariah herself she understands the need for community in the wilderness of any land and empathy for those forsaken pokes her conscience ruthlessly. Despite being exiled from the clan of her birth Rhynka never broke down to take permanent refuge in any of the city states. So, aside from her slightly low opinion of Miqo'te who she feels opt for a comfortable life in the city Rhynka can always be proven wrong. She keeps her eyes and ears open, and being wrong in her sometimes misguided assumptions proves to be pleasant (If not amusing) and humbling.

That song Gangnam Style came to mind when I saw this pic! <3 Awesome visual composition!

Hello, and welcome! August will be here soon! Don't sweat it, dwelling will just make the time go by much slower!

I'll try and make it, the concept is interesting. New developments have occurred for me and my husband so I've been busy seeking a doctor lately.

I intend to start a free company with some friends who are interested in playing the game at release. It's taking longer than desired to put together information for it. Busy days lately.

Thank you very much! I am relieved that such deviations are welcome! I hope the ones I wrote on and came up with can enhance my role play with others! I don't mind conflict in RP, hope I didn't come off that way! Thanks again! :love:

rhynkalahoka is my skype name. I sent a contact request to try getting on the chat. Looking forward to chatting it up with you all.

Skype is the only chat available for this community? I don't have one but will make one. I hope I don't need a mic, the husband accidentally stepped on mine a while back while trying to pick up what the puppy knocked over. Our PS3 barely survived and the mic wasn't so lucky.

Rhynka and her husband Razamir are part of a clan that deviates from many norms. Their clan is very small, I picture that when dealing with other clans on a 'diplomatic' level Rhynka would handle the politics. Razamir is more the strong quieter type (Something like Kamari.) Their defiance toward other clan's traditions may be fueled by their drive to remain inseparable. Rhynka is a hunter (Archer) and a very spiritual if not slightly superstitious woman. Her talents with Conjury make her a more spiritual healer and leader where Razamir is the muscle to back her decisions. I will be leveling Arcanist on her for understanding of the primals. When negotiating with beast tribes, it would be helpful relating to them. Being a smaller rogue clan from the others the clan probably find they have to share territory with them and reasoning with the beast tribes would be wise, and maybe easier to handle than the clans they left behind. In terms of mating I will admit OoCly we decided they'd be husband and wife to detour pursuits of ERP (Not a favorable form of RP for either of us). With the lore dictating against this I'm thinking of a way around it. I would love to get feed back to build and tweak this idea right. One could challenge Razamir, when dealing with other clans the notion may have come up in the past. Traditions can't control the free will of an individual. Their romance (Which I may have buried deep into their reasons for going rogue.) is very deep should Rhynka find herself "Won over" they'd have to deal with something worse than Razamir, Rhynka herself, if he wasn't dead after the challenge they'd probably want to hand her back to him hissing and spatting after the first sun had passed! In the event that he were dead the winner would probably find themselves in the same shoes as him from whatever means Rhynka has in store. Reading about that gave birth to the idea that maybe Rhynka has poisoned a previous "Husband" as an IC rumor. As far as Razamir beating his chest like king-kong, he wouldn't dream of it. Rhynka is calm most the time, it's part of her charisma, but when her temper is up and she takes a tone at him, Razamir would tuck his tail, since the women in their clan are the primary hunters he may not get dinner that night. Razamir doesn't have a harem, if ever he had more than Rhynka it would be Rhynka who dictates this, she is the first wife after all. Any that came after her would be something of a fall back plan, in the event that she could no longer bare him offspring. Even families with more than one wife have to get along to survive. If the female in question doesn't live up to Rhynka's standards she is denied. As far as how you never see tribal/feral Miqo'te in the city I am assuming any offspring they have are rarely brought near the city if ever. Even on a day Rhynka and Razamir are in the city they would leave them in the care of the others unless circumstances made it not possible. Rhynka and Razamir have a deep unrivaled devotion and loyalty to the legacy they've started and receive the same from the other clan members. That is what I have brainstormed so far, please let me know what the rest of you think! Try to keep it constructive, and keep in mind this is my first shot at compiling any thing toward their back story! It won't be perfect the first time. Edit: Any questions to help get my creative juices rushing are welcome too!!

I have a question, a stupid one maybe. Where is all this lore about the nuhn, was it in quests? I found nothing on the official website. Can anyone provide me a link to this extra information, please!?

I noticed after taking a second look that summoner was there. Maybe SE has a surprise for us at launch (Or they would like to)? I hope they aren't biting off more than they can chew. I know they're working on arcanist/summoner. It didn't make sense to me why they'd show that in the art for release if it's supposed to be the jobs at launch. Even if it is another class we don't know about coming (Probably for good reason since fans would want to lay the pressure on) it will be a cool surprise! I'm sure it will turn out fine the game appears to have a lot of support from fans.

I think the one that looks like a scholar is really just arcanist/summoner. That class/job they have said will be in there, and it's the only one that hasn't been really accounted for in previous works of art, also the earth tone scheme of the robes. Summoner has usually always been dressed in similar color schemes. Edit: Wait the summoner is accounted for on the opposite side, maybe it's arcanist, they use books right?

I think Bard is a nice class for Rhynka, Razamir wants to level it too. Rhynka enjoys singing and playing a wide variety of instruments, her favorite being the sitar. A street performing duo sounds both natural and fun for them to do. Using a bow I think is a nice touch for Rhynka, being a wilder Miqo'te she's most likely a hunter, like a lioness of the savanah. This could also make her more brutal during confrontation, so I'm trying to think of a melee class to level that would suit her, I'm leaning toward hand-to-hand. If they ever came out with Dancer and/or Thief in a future expansion, I'd have to jump on that with Rhynka first thing after installing! Hopefully it would be a fun one to play, because leveling a class/job isn't about IC or OoC so much as it is me enjoying the class I'm playing. That's my own opinion, some I know like to level everything, or only like one class. Play your way, I say!

That does sound boring, what you mentioned about the married couple. Rhynka and Razamir will be more exciting than that, I promise! Between the two of us OoC I'm sure we'll be able to create an excellent back story for how they found one another, and the mischief they've gotten in and out of with each other! I want to have more about them like a nice introductory piece of art and some small tidbits of general information or rumors about them shortly after launch! Any formal back story I have no intention of posting on any web page for a good long time. I will be writing it for his and my reference, I'd like most of it to be learned through interaction in character so it feels like I have something more interesting for her to talk about aside from just "We're married". Thank you for the warm welcome! :roll:

Thank you, for the welcome! I can toast to that! *Ping!* Are there many Bards in the role playing community?

--MMORPG background Too many to list. I have been looking for an MMO to RP in since killing off my character in WoW. Since then I have been limited to chat room based MUDs. I have played FFXIV but never role-played in it since there were no Official RP servers. --RP experience Since I got into table top at a young age. I have learned every community and type of role play is different no matter where you go. I humbly consider myself a newbie here because I never role played in this game. --Character ideas/info I hope the game will be friendly when it comes to leveling alt characters, I want to play one of every race. One of the two level 50's I have will be a Sun Seeker Miqo'te, the other I am still brainstorming about, maybe Roegadyn. My husband will be playing her husband in-character. We plan for them to be from a small nomadic clan that roams the Sagolii Desert. There's not enough information on the main page to develop their history beyond this. I want to play an adventurous character, making them nomads would fit. I assume they will be very feral in nature as life in the desert can be a rough test of survival. Look forward to an update on this after the game is released, but for now please be patient we're trying to up-size our living arrangements this year and find time for fun! --How did you learn about the coalition? A friend of mine trying to lure me back into the game with the hopes of official RP servers being available. I really hope I can transfer server at release or I may not be able to play with you folks! I get bored of an MMO if there's no RP to be found probably why I only went on FFXIV when there was a new update. I have lurked on this site for quite some time, read the guide book, etiquette, and came to the conclusion that this will be a nice easy community to play with. I've not seen any OoC drama in these threads, so I would like to give it a shot! --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? I try to adjust my style to suit the community I play with. The heavier RP I do won't be in the city-states without reason since my husband and my character will be drifters. I do like to be in-character as much as possible! I would have to say between medium and heavy, just because I hate OoC chatter during role play. Unless it's a necessary thing like brb, afk, or a simple question. --Anything from real life you are comfortable with sharing? As of Christmas Eve of 2012 I have been married to a teddy bear of a man :love:. We were friends for two years, dated for four (Living together the last three), and decided it would be okay to try for a family continue like this forever! Sorry, I'm still honeymoon crazed over it! (Sometimes still refer to him as 'bf' by accident out of habit.) I love arts and crafts, reading and writing, as well as a good many console games from shooters to RPGs, even this strange one I found on the PSN called "Journey" (A game made purely for the physics and exploration, very unique, but relaxing to play.) which inspired the idea for Rhynka with it's beautiful desert setting and hypnotic atmosphere. I hope to make her a very exotic, charismatic Bard with many tales to spin about her future adventures with others! Looking forward to playing with you all!
