Momoji Momochi

Hi everyone! Long time no see! Anyway, I have a question related to Bahamut's Coil. Namely, what are the dark matter critters from turn 1? Are they supposed to be wildlife that somehow sneaked into Bahamut's Coil from the outside and then became corrupted by the crystals? Are they manifestations of bahamut's crystal wings? Finally, what do these critters live off of? Do they eat crystals, bathe themselves in the crystal's energy for sustenance, or do they eat each other? Do they even need to eat? Why can that snake divide itself like an amoeba?! AAAAAAAAAH! :frustrated: ... Somebody help me! I can't take much more of this. :dazed: I really want to know, because it seems so unusual considering the location.

I don't know about Gilgamesh, but I've seen people actively RPing in the Lominsa tavern. I even thought about jumping in if it weren't for my character's mid-job crisis of rediscovering his long lost love for shiny armor and battle axes (went almost all out tank due to lack of tanks on server).

Mine would be best conveyed with a snippet of my character's backstory. In Orrin Morin's effort to uncover whether Dunesfolk in Ul'dah treat plainsfolk any differently than they treat one another, he hurriedly chose what he believed to be a suitable Dunesfolk name before donning a magical disguise. Unfortunately, "Momoji Momochi" is actually two dunesfolk female names put together, as he soon realized to his embarrassment. Even worse, he failed to read the warning that the removal potion for the magical disguise was highly sensitive to aetheric disturbances, which due to a series of events rendered his only method of removing the disguise worthless! So Orrin Morin, now Momoji Momochi, set out on a quest to acquire another removal potion. Through feats of daring, such as constructing a giant sand castle for suitably giant ants, and entertaining a giant buffalo, he finally removed the magical disguise. How that removed a magical disguise is an entirely different story. Unfortunately, his acts of daring had galvanized his name in the public eye, and now people can't stop calling him Momoji Momochi! His plan to solve this predicament? Make himself so famous that by merely announcing that his real name is Orrin Morin, everyone will begin calling him that instead! And so he continues with his adventurers, saving kittens and pouring laxatives into imperial water supplies, the later being a very time consuming effort. Take that, you damn imperials! When you reach the steaming hell known as "the lavatory," tell them Momoji Momochi sent you! Edit: If that isn't the weakness you are looking for, then his kryptonite is chocolate pudding. Delicious, delicious chocolate pudding. He'd call down a meteor for the stuff.

I remember reading in the lore that they were supposed to have a proud tradition of hunting, with powerful legs built specifically for that purpose. Then I go ingame and they're hunting alright, but it isn't for ... uh... yeah... How they're presented in game is sort of a bad joke actually.

While I am not RPing at the moment (waiting for vial of fantasia to change to my rp char), I am using a somewhat revised version of events in order to allow me to rp within the context of the events that happen in the story. For instance, my character was involved with a large scale effort to take down Ifrit which included dozens, if not nearly a hundred adventurers as opposed to having personally taken him down. I'm also running with Hydaelyn protecting certain adventurers from tempering so I have some excuse as to why I wasn't turned during the conflict.

Arcana Machina is something that just came out of my head. Runic Concord?

I'll probably start RPing at release, since I need the fantasia elixir to get my character right. I ended up getting the naming conventions wrong for dunes folk and ended up giving my character a female first name. I just can't find any dunes folk names that really stick out, so I decided I'll go with a plainsfolk.

This is a solid 8.5/10 for me. Penelope is both a common name and one that is rarely used anymore. Add Rundall into the mix and I really enjoy the flow. 8-) I suppose I am up: Mars Irvo Pronounced - (Mars Er'voe) Given Name - Named Mars for being born under the fiery red sky of a blood moon. Surname - Abandoned on the steps of a monastery, Mars adopted the name Irvo from his caretaker and father figure, Abbot Irvo. For a visualization, this is him: I'm so sorry, Firnwood! I didn't mean to skip you! By itself it is a fine name, and because it also fits your character's back story I'm giving it a full 10/10.

Only with the way its generals are acting, it will probably end like Alexander the Great's empire. I second a now deceased spy in saying, "are they seriously trying again?!" And I mean that in terms of tring to conquer Eorzea.

I had to come up with a new name for my my soon to be plainsfolk. What do you all think of the name, Korin Orrin? The first name is Latin in origin and means spear. The second is Gaelic and means pale little green one. Together they end up fitting the naming conventions for plainsfolk, and it is also remarkably similar to a tarutaru NPCs name in ffxi.

My character, Momoji (who will be a plainfolk on release to deal with a naming convention nightmare), is a young plainsfolk hailing from far of La Noscea that came to Ul'dah to study the art of Thaumaturgy at the temple of Nald'Thal. Momoji is a studious little bookworm who intends to become a loremaster of the arcane by studying all known branches of arcana, and then subsequently apply those teachings to the culinary arts. While not much of a writer, he dreams of being the author of a book called "Cooking with Fire I-III: A Thaumaturge's Guide to the Culinary Arts." I had already figured that I'd be leveling thaumaturge when I played the open beta. What I didn't anticipate was enjoying all the disciplines of magic in the game, so I changed up my character's back story to better fit my play style. I even went so far as to have him come from La Noscea instead of Thanalan like I originally planned. But I was only able to do all that because I haven't established my character yet. I'll probably end up playing Scholar, Summoner, Black Mage, and White Mage. As to which will be my focus at end game, that will take some more time to figure out.

I call my carbuncle Mr. Sparkles!

Think German family names, since their first names are heavily German inspired. My closed beta 3 character's name was Heinrich Foust. Even the flame commander's first name is Germanic. Raubahn is actually an altered version of the name Ruben, which means "Raven."

Momoji's eyes go wide, his hands dart to small journal and pencil. "Alcohol - scented - soap!" He exclaims as he scribbles away on a blank page, walking out of the bar. "It cleans AND disinfects! Bartenders everywhere will adore it! And also marmots because they like everything! Yay!" As he reaches the door, he looks up with a thoughtful expression. "Hmm, better not make it a liquid or they'll try to drink it. That would be icky..." He mumbles to himself as the door closes behind him.

I'm not quite sure how to post images yet on the forum besides using the attachments, but here is the character I'll be using as my main, Momoji Momochi. Last name is pending at the moment. I could change it to Momosu, Momoto, or something else using the word Momo up front to keep it within naming conventions.
