Rare Rose

Hello and I hope the day finds you well! Let's see, I guess I should start off with a bit of history hm? Well I had been a long time WoW player, up until around some time after Cataclysm and then I branched out to try a variety of other MMO's of varying genre's. Always on the look out for fun times with or without roleplaying. My most recent forays into the MMO world would be Wildstar and FFXIV. As for my RP experience, I have been roleplaying (at least trying) on and off for several years, I play a lot of tabletop RPG's with my friends so I have what I would believe would be a 'decent' amount of experience role playing, though because I am a little... shy around new folks I tend to not really be too forward/bold as you never know what will annoy folks 100% of the time. At the moment, I was lucky enough to make it into Balmung and I only have one character (Female Roe) and I was hoping to mold her into a 'knight' of sorts, trying to live by some Arthurian kind of 'code', I am trying to eventually get her to be someone's personal guard or something akin to, if I can borrow this suggestion, Brienne of Tarth, though of course with somewhat different backstory and personality. I am wanting to try my hand at medium-heavy roleplaying as I've never been in any MMO that has had be 'that' into the role given. The hardest part is trying to find a FC that is active, friendly and not too oppressive. I look forward to meeting some/all of you eventually!

[align=justify]Personal Profile Character Name: Melisandra Masters Gender: Female Race: Roegadyn, Hellsguard Domestic Profile Civil Status: Resident Place of Residence: Limsa Lominsa Occupation: Mercenary and Bodyguard for Hire Free Company: N/A Social Profile Being found by a Hyru couple, she was raised and given their surname, which to some other Roe's might seem a bit strange but she never lets that bother her. When she was old enough she decided to see the world and learn as much as she can from it and has taken it upon herself to use her skills to earn herself a living. Her travels brought her to Limsa Lominsa where, after getting into a fight with a regular at the Rogue's guild, she found herself joining their ranks. That being said, she soon found herself traveling once again, honing her skills, learning new abilities and trying to test herself to the limit with each new style she acquired. She spends her time working on whatever contract or guild related mission she has been assigned to. That being said, she doesn't like to stay too long in one spot as she likes to enjoy the world around her and if not under obligation is often found traveling the roads of Eorzea. Where she has began to earn a reputation for a smile being almost permanently on her face during the midst of combat. Meta Profile She's meant to be a hearty, friendly and rather honest 'amazon' type character. She believes in matters of honor should be solved through combat, likes to boast, is usually the 'leaps before she looks' kind of person. Though generally a good and well-mannered person, when her dander is up, she will try to contain her temper, but if that goes over she won't hesitant to resort to physical violence. She sometimes worries about not being 'feminine' enough and will sometimes over compensate, even though she hates dresses and the whole subject often leaves her flustered. She's honest almost to a fault and though more combat oriented, doesn't mean she's dumb since she has had to rely on her own intuition and intelligence more often than not. She sometimes feels at odds with her heritage, being raised by Hyur, she's been trying to reconnect with her culture. I'm online most of the week, though since I'm new I'm usually leveling. I don't mind RP'ing fighting or even just 'story' based things, but would rather be approached OOC before hand, I'm not good at surprises lol. I can fluctuate between OOC/IC when the need arises.

I. Basic Info Primary Character: Melisandra Masters Linkshells: N/A Primary RP linkshell: N/A Race: Roegadyn II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Light-Medium, I am still new to this whole RP'ing on an MMO thing, but I am more than willing to try almost anything, that being said I would rather be asked/told through a tell before anything happens to me as I would rather RP with prior knowledge instead of just something completely random. Views on RP Combat and Injuries: From what I've seen it's usually people rolling dice ala D&D or they just 'say' what happens and the other person usually reacts reasonably to the suggested situation. Again being new to this, I don't really know what would fit me 100%, but I am willing to give either a try. That being said, I would rather my character not lose a limb, not only would that compromise my character's image...but would be rather hard to pull off game wise. Views on IC Romance: Though not opposed to it, there's a fine line between 'romance' and a 'one night stand' and being new, I would rather wait before anything of that nature comes about, so though it's appreciated please do understand my hesitance. Views on Non-Romantic RP (family ties, etc): I am perfectly fine with this, that being said, I would like to be asked if anyone wishes to 'relate' themselves to my character, just to see if we 'mesh' correctly before making any decisions. Views on Lore: Though I don't think breaking a game's lore/story is 100% alright, I can see how in some instances the 'rules' can be bent a little. Bent, not broken. Views on Chat Functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): /say and /em is almost strictly for roleplay, IC purposes however with friends it may not always be IC. The use of (( )) will always indicate OOC. If a linkshell is to be used IC, it must always be used IC and indicated as such. /tell will be used primarily for OOC functions however it will be obvious if it is used for RP. III.
