Loki

Just go with the race that your character model is imo. Also, done. Eh, I did. But I was under the assumption; given from most of the census questions, that it was about your actual character as you envision them and not just what the game gives you. Keeper of the Moon Keeper / Highlander Keeper / Midlander Keeper / Dunesfolk Lalafell Keeper / Plainsfolk Lalafell Keeper / Seeker of the Sun Keeper / Xaela Keeper / Raen Keeper / Hellsguard Keeper / Sea Wolf Keeper / Wildwood Keeper / Duskwight Keeper / Ishgardian Highlander Highlander / Midlander Highlander / Dunefolk ...etcetera, etcetera. The listings for this specific question would be longer than the rest of the test, and would likely only garner a tiny handful of replies to make it worthwhile. Actually it could all be consolidated into a single option such as: Just like there was a similar option where you can select Other: _________ for primary class and Primary Source of Income.

Posted two older pieces that I did earlier this year!

I am hurt by the lack of Halfbreed as an option for race! :

I added a work in progress of Loki

I see... Dunno why we can't just do it ourselves! D:

Well then! That was simple!

So.. I wanted to make a new page for a character I've been playing for a while.. yet I can't find the create/add a new page button. It's been almost a year and a half since I used the wiki and over that time a lot of changes have been made to it and I'm just having a tough time figuring everything out all over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok.. so my last thread has been lost to the ravages of time. (ohohoho) And I couldn't figure out how to remove the poll on it so I decided to make a new one. ----- 5/24/2015 Quick Update: More in it. Done for tonight. A new work in progress of Loki! :> I wanted to show off that he is indeed half highlander, half elezen. ----- Some Stupid Stuff with Loki:

Happy Easter! I hope you all had a good Easter Sunday and didn't have what happened to me happen.... .................... Well Played Sir Easter Bunny... Well Played...

I haven't met many, if anyone, whose used a Fantasia as an IC thing. And I suspect if they did it'd only be used for a temporary change. (i.e. a potion that went horribly wrong.)

So this idea dawned on me when I was discussing it with a friend. Why not have a Foreign Exchange program where Au Ra just arriving from the continent of Othard are paired with native Eorzean's to show them around and teach them their way of life, ect. This sort of RP prompt will help those who choose to roll or fantasia into an Au Ra gain connections in their new story lines as they assimilate their Au Ra into Eorzean society. Thoughts? Suggestions? Questions?

This right here. This makes it extremely difficult to play Villains in an MMO. It's exceedingly rare to find a group that will allow traumatic experiences or physical damage be dealt to them by a villain-like player. I do think there is a limit that needs to be drawn on what can and cannot be done to a players character and what those people are comfortable with happening to their characters. An agreement and understanding of potential consequences should be listed before a dark or villain associated character becomes involved in a plot and it should definitely be discussed among the group as a whole before a specific plot is underway. Communication with other players is a big key in playing a single Villain among a group of Heroes. Villain's need to say what can and cannot be done to their characters and vice-verse for those playing the Hero(es) before any serious plot delving begins. This can be done without divulging too much into weakness' and strengths and past history, giving room to develop both sides in an in character progression. There needs to be equal progression on both sides with renewed ongoing conflict whether on a personal or combative level for both to succeed. No side can be deemed the victor in any given confrontation in order to have a successful ongoing plot until it does get to the point where the person playing the Villain deems it necessary for the end to come.

Thank you all for the incredible amount of feedback and information! It's nice to see everyone's stand point on what is correct and incorrect on the Villain/Evil/Dark associated characters and it has definitely helped me realize more than a few things that I missed or may have miscalculated in my Original post. As always; keep the feed back coming for future or current evil-doers!

Side Note: I hope I can say that I wrote this topic when I was half asleep at 2 AM in the morning and therefore some of my views were askew and just thrown out into the mix. (I.e. Villains don't need money, power,or women.) Back on subject of current posts; I agree with most of what you all say and while I am not actively seeking RP on my main as he's been retired due to both OOC/IC reasons, I've merely heard word of the current happenings of Villains in RP and I was using the Quicksand as a single location to reference.

Cactuar is and always will be a true villain! Back on topic: Everyone here has good points. But my problem is I'm seeing too much "villains" looking for ERP and that's what I'm basing a mass majority of my observations on. Maybe I'm not looking in the right corner of the world or I'm completely missing the Villain All Night Meeting Posters, but I'm a little unnerved when I see people shouting "Evil Villain LF ERP." or something along the context of that.

So.. I was talking with a friend earlier in the day about Villain RP’s in FFXIV and it’s been brought to my attention through several viewings that a majority of those who associate themselves with the “Evil/Villain” Tag are mainly those seeking ERP. Now.. I have no problem with ERP(sex) naturally occurring during the course of a plot, but when you actively search for it as the main purpose and reason that you created an evil character, that's where I had to draw a line. The “Villains” I’ve seen so far in FFXIV are not villains but hookers, whores, and horny men who plaster themselves with being dubbed “evil” or against the good nature and will of the normal RP’ers of the game. People have been playing villains like all they do is have sex, rape, torture and kill. Well news flash.. they don’t. Serial Murderer’s and Sex Offenders do this. You don’t go and watch Dark Knight to see Heath Ledger as the Joker have sex or kidnap and rape the leading lady (Which never happens but I’m using it as a reference scenario). You watch it because he’s a true Villain mastermind, casting away the influence that mob bosses, murderers, gang leaders, and the like hoard themselves over because they have little meaning to a true Villain. He does the things he does just because he gets a kick out of it while causing a little mayhem and chaos on the go. This is a true Villain. Money, Power, Women; they do not influence a Villains agenda. Granted there are times when a Villain needs to unwind a little and get in their basic needs. This only serves to make them human/immortal/whatever. Some Villains can even form attachments to certain objects or people to where it greatly affects their emotional state if something were to be done to these objects of their desire. This can cause great stress to a Villain and even make their plans falter or make it more difficult for them to enact what they had in mind for the hero player to walk into. Depending on the type of Villain, the plan to seek vengeance or turn the tables is and always will be different. The types of Villains there are, are limitless. Your Villain could stick to the shadows of a tavern, always overlooking the hustle and bustle that makes its way through, monitoring potential threats or weakness’ of certain people in order to exploit them and making himself seem like the regular tavern grump whenever approached. Or your Villain could, on the outside, seem like the normal tavern fool getting his ass drunk and into fights - when on the inside he’s a mastermind using a display of weakness to get the better of his opponents. However the common mistake I see people using, is thinking that engaging in sexual activity/rape is all Villains engage in. Villains need a purpose; a design that has them constantly out to meddle and foil the plans of those he’s deemed an adversary. Not to sit in the Quicksand all evening asking if you want to go back to his place/room to get a lil jiggy with it. The Key to successfully RPing a Villain is to be surprising in your thought process. To create a unique back story as to why your character was born or came to be like this. It can be dramatic, focused on revenge, or be caused by a traumatic experience. There are also instances where a hero eventually succumbs to villainy. But please… do not label yourself a Villain/Evil just because you engage in sexual activity or immoral acts with no plans to actually combat or devise a plot to IC'ly attack someone or meddle in their affairs to ruin their lives or what have you. And to those approaching Villains/Evil Associated people, do not ask us for ERP straight off the bat because you think that's all we do. This topic is open for discussion on what is morally right and wrong with playing a character labeled as a Villain.

Ok so I totally do not know how to remove polls from my post.. >.>

Are there any Linkshells with people who will be making the jump to Au Ra once they are released? If so, anyone know who I should contact about getting an invite?

AH! Suddenly inspiration struck me 30 minutes or so ago and I had to jot down this:

Right; no interest then. No problem I guess, I'll just have to figure out what to do with a rank 6 FC. ._.;

as my news says.. I've had a major art block for a while now and I just haven't been able to draw anything new.. So all you get is something I stopped working on near the end of last year. :

Update after almost one year!

*dances* New screenshot manipulation!
