I, on the other hand, loved every minute of my Warhammer experience. RvR -during- RP was the greatest. Welcome! I so happen to be a tank player, and so is my character, Striding Wolf! Hope to see you in-game!

Welcome!

Striding Wolf...he's the party member with the strong personality that people might look to for level-headed (or occasionally hot-headed) advice or other guidance. He's not the main character because his past and personality are not complicated or mysterious enough, but he has enough of his own story that he could have been a minor boss in the beginning of the game, perhaps hired to kill the main character for a good amount of gil, who ends up joining the party because he respects the people involved and wants to see what happens.

Thank you! Welcome! I wasn't on until late last night, but add Orleans Ignacius. I can help get you plugged into the Gilgamesh RP scene if you want to play around before or without transferring. The reason I don't want to get invested in Gilgamesh is the distinct lack of public RP. I can't seem to find walk-up, and the few FC's I've managed to find seem to think that there is no RP on the server in general, which concerns me. I also don't want to have someone invest their time into RPing with me on Gilgamesh just to see me go when I transfer to Balmung and feel abandoned or otherwise frustrated, but thank you for the offer!

I think it's less of shame and more a place to display opinions without people trying too hard to pick it all apart. And I forgot to add one last deal. 10. Traumatic historic events/mental conditions. I'm ok with people RPing them. If your character has been afflicted with mental disorders, been raped, abused as a child, whatever? That's fine. What I don't like is how casually people use it in RP. Your character can have trauma in their background, but please, for the sake of RP, don't use PTSD, rape, abusive history, other traumatic events/disorders as a casual attention-seeking crutch. It feels iffy and disrespectful to real-world sufferers. And DEFINITELY DON'T try to pull others into your traumatic event without first talking to them OOC. I've been lead to a rape scene by an RPer before without even the slightest bit of warning. It was poorly done and I had no heads-up, which was the part that really, really irritated me. If I had been warned or asked first, I may have consented or been able to tell them "no thanks", but that was not the case.

1. I tend to OOCly respect characters more that started out as relatively simple concepts, who grew to something or a place of power, rather than beginning all-powerful with abilities that make them a power-unicorn. 2. Half-breeds in settings that don't have them in the lore made by players who pick and choose which traits of which races they want into a character that is essentially a genetic snowflake. No thank you. Especially the sorts that become 3000 year old all-powerful creatures with the mind of a 12 year old who turns into some sort of wisdom god when put into situations that could kill them. 3. I dislike joining new communities. If only because my past experiences over months of attempting to OOCly and ICly network into communities that ultimately either lacked the activity I was willing to put forward, or paid little attention to those who had not been around for years upon years. 4. RP flakes. Please, please know that I do have a life and I -totally- understand when curveballs get thrown, but if I engage in a thread or RP scenario, I expect it to be paid attention to regularly. I have been to far too many site-only RP forums that claimed to be active but could not be bothered to keep up on their threads at least once per week. If people have to take a little bit? That's fine, but -let the group know-. Communication is essential to good RP. 5. I am an RP addict. While I do have preferences as to the IC scenarios I might go into with specific characters (mostly based on whether it would be plausible for them to partake) I do try to partake in as much RP as I can. This includes websites (so long as they stay active), Skype, and in-game. 6. I do not like reading the thoughts of characters that are not my own unless there is an IC reason behind somehow knowing what the other characters are thinking. I understand that it is up to the writer, and I respect most RP of that type thrown my way, but when it gets down to *John looked over at Caitlyn after she spoke. He always knew she was an idiot, and her words only continued to prove that opinion.*-type of stuff, where the player is conveying negativity and insult/condescension of other characters? I have seen it happen too many times and it strikes a nerve. 7. If you give me the opportunity to write about something I actually have inspiration or an opinion about, my responses will vary from short, perhaps one-liners to wall of texts, and I apologize for both. 8. My first character broke lore, and I didn't read the lore of the world before RPing in it. Rookie mistake, but at the same time, it taught me that there are really two negative types of people in communities: Elites who think they can snub other players to improve the community by "culling the bads", and the ones who are so deep into the "do whatever you want, even if it shatters the lore!" mindset that they can't truly help the new RPers establish solid roots. Since the day I made my first "world-fitting" character, I have always tried to not only help others with their characters when they ask for it, but to include as many people as would ICly fit into the RP I'm involved in. Only way to have a strong community is to cultivate open attitudes toward new and veteran RPers who genuinely want to try and bring positive mindsets to the table. 9. (See? Wall of Text, sorry!) I have a strong personality that I try to keep the leash on, but when I join something and it fails to meet the standard I was lead to believe it would have, I tend to push and speak up very clearly and frequently. I recognize this can clash with other people's preferences of how they like to lead (or follow), but I like a certain level of organization and leadership when I take the time to contribute to projects I did not begin, myself. I'm not going to try and take over if I enter FC's, Communities, Linkshells, whatever, but I can not be trusted to simply overlook things that I find unsatisfactory. I speak up, and my characters do, too. They typically have strong personalities, whether they are hidden for some reason or totally out in the open, they are present.

Thank you!

After looking through many VA's I knew about (and many I didn't) I came upon a few with the nasal, deep voice that I envision Roegadyn Hellsguards would have, I've picked Michael Ironside's Sam Fisher voice for Striding Wolf. LA5YXCbNrIM

Thank you!

Well, bloody finally, I think this is the closest I'm going to get to a White Anglo-Saxon Action Hero haircut. I'm just glad there will be a short hair option aside from faux hawk and formal parting for...a wandering race of well-muscled people.

Welcome and hello! I joined...a few minutes before you posted this. I'm going to be on Balmung eventually, but until then, I can be RPed with on here by PM or Thread, or on Skype if you want the details. Gonna be playing as Striding Wolf, a Hellsguard Warrior Merc from Ul'Dah. Looking forward to RPing with you!

Hello, everyone! I'm SE ID: CleverBlitz, an RPer for the last 10 or so years and an MMO Tank for nearly as long. My copy of the game (and its expansion) is on PS4, but I'll interact with anyone, and can use my laptop for communication if my USB keyboard isn't enough. I like dark, gritty, realistic, light-hearted, intrigue, social, adventure, political, or pretty much any kind of RP, and I am trying to move to Balmung via server transfer from Gilgamesh as soon as it becomes available. I had this game when it first came out but I did not enjoy it because of how empty it felt in the first two months I played. Perhaps it was my server, idk. But I have made Striding Wolf, a Hellsguard Ul'Dahn mercenary with plenty of his own ambitions and preferences. He is going to be WAR as a primary job until I can get to the DRK initiation quest. After I hit DRK, I'll be RPing him in-game with whoever contacts me for it! He will start as a WAR, however, mercenary/private guard-type with an open-ended path. I like to make characters that have a simple concept, then make them deeper and more complex through my interactions in the RP, so he could end up becoming anything the RP guides his path along. I'm also a big "consequence" RPer. This means that no matter what happens, my character will pay for mistakes or overall bad situations he gets into. I like to be as "believable" in the RP as possible, with the exceptions of mechanics. He is not plot-protected, but I do require people with agendas that include his capture, mutilation, or death to let me know what they want to do. If it is not a plot I'm satisfied with, I may make slight suggestions but I will rarely, if ever, outright reject consequence RP if it is well thought-out. Anyway! Wall of text over with, I'm happy to be here and look forward to contact. I'll be looking for contacts to RP with through the medium of Skype or this forum until I can get to Balmung, so feel free to send me PMs if you'd like to get in contact. I like to try and include anyone who wants to RP in my plots, and try to participate in as much as my character could ICly be involved in, so don't hesitate with PMs and such. Thanks for reading!
