Akasumi

Drakeena's theme: hZ9YTr8gBPI

So, with so many RP'ers on Balmung, I always have a hard time just walking up to people who are RP'ing. One, I hate interrupting. Two, it feels just slightly overwhelming (I REALLY don't do well in large groups. I tend to freeze up and shut down in terms of talking). So, I figured I would try this. I have a new alt (ugh, my alt-itis kicks in :lol: ) named Drakeena Kemasu. I'll explain more below. -Drakeena Kemasu- Background: Drakeena was born of a Xaela clan, but she only remembers being raised by other parents. Adopted as a baby Au Ra. But after the Calamity, when she was...13, she and her adoptive parents got seperated. In the mass confusion, Drakeena was pushed down in the panic of Buhamut's assault. She hit her head and lost her memories. She woke up in Ul'dah, but had no idea who she was, how she got to the odd city, or what she was supposed to do. When she was hungry, she stole for the first time. But she was very sloppy at it. She was almost caught as she was running with her only meal. But someone, her 'benfactor', her trainer in all things criminal, saved her. He (or she) gave Drakeena her name. And worked on her having amnesia. So her stealing for him (or her), felt..odd. Something felt off, but she couldn't figure out why and brushed it off. Though it still nags at her. She wants to remember who she is. But does not tell her benefactor that. She wants to know where she belongs. And did she have a family? Personality: Drakeena does not act like a stiff. Her expression is stoic, but she's more lively than she lets on. And when she gets angry, she does NOT hide it. The Au Ra blood in her boils and she wants to fight. But with friends, she is a fierce friend. Ready to protect them. Before the whole amnesia happened, she was a very sweet Au Ra. Loved her parents with all her heart and aimed to make them proud. The End Game (what the end of this particular arc is going for): Basically, I would like Drakeena to find her family. For either her adoptive parents to find her, or her find them. Either way has such a tender feel to it. And in the process of finding her family and reuniting with them, turn on the person who took advantage of her, making her steal for them. Going against who she truly was. In this I'm thinking more turning them over to the Immortal Flames/Protector/Law Enforcement militia. (If they escape that's all up to them and the enforcer) Characters: Basically, the roles I hope to be filled by those willing/wanting to be a part of Drakeena's RP. Adoptive Parents - Any race. Honestly, I really have NO preference. Same race couple (meaning both are the same race of each other. Two Miqo'te, two Hyur, etc), different race couple (Hyur husband, Elzen wife, Miqo'te husband, Roe wife, etc.), I am open to anything in this regard. And they can be from ANYWHERE. Drakeena just ended up in Ul'dah. She either lived there before or is a complete stranger there. Parents could be rich, poor, or whatever. Drakeena's "Benefactor"/Master Criminal - The one who saved her from being imprisoned by the Immortal Flames when she first stole to eat. Years ago. Drakeena would still work for them until the finding of the parents where she would turn on the benefactor. Drakeena's Friends - I don't really think much needs to be said about this. I'm sure she's made friends among some people. Two, maybe three people max. Enforcer/Law Enforcement - This one I'm not so worried about filling right away. Only because I'm not sure how long it'll take to get this off the ground depending on desire to be a part of it. It can be one person, or an entire guild. But again, when Drakeena turns on her benefactor, I'd leave the escape/capture up to these two. I don't want to infringe on existing RP's between these two groups. Drakeena's Amoure - Yes, I will put this out there. I am looking for a relationship for Drakeena. A MEANINGFUL one. Male or female. Someone she found during her time as a thief. And things would just blossom between them. This I expect to take time. And that's fine. I don't plan on leaving FFXIV anytime soon. I'm willing to discuss more details about this via PM's or in game. Now, for the nice disclaimer. I'm not looking to alter ANYONE's RP. If it adds to the flavor of their RP and they want it, great! If they want to do a new character for it, that's great too! Honestly. I'm just looking for everyone to have fun. Also, I will put this out there because I'd rather people know the times I'm on. This week, I'm working my three-day work week. Mon night - Thurs morning (5pm-5am EST or for those Europeans 1700-0500). So normally, I will be on for a few hours during the day. And I should be on most of the weekends all day provided I don't have a project going on. Next week alternates to a four day work week and then alternates each week. Just to give people an idea when I'm on. I have every weekend off. I want to thank the community in advance for any interest generated in being a part of this RP. Thank you. -Akasumi/Drakeena PS: Oh, right. You can reach me in game via Akasumi R'athnia or Drakeena Kemasu

Right now, for Akasumi, this song seems to fit her: lpeHpdSV3IQ And this one is for my new Au Ra, Diakretha and my Duskwight Archer, Sophiane: 1x2Ngh35oNI

For my character, Akasumi, I have no issues with her being injured. With that being said, I would greatly prefer it if someone that wished to do so would speak to me first just to give me the fast basis of what's going to happen. As for killing off my characters? Mm. There has to be a DAMN near compelling reason for me to do so. Such as, I am not having fun on the character. And I won't do so lightly. And more times than not, my answer will be no. I believe in: You perform an action that causes a reaction, you better damn well be ready to face the consequences. Too many RP'ers I see are do not take this into account. Or refuse to accept the consequences. If my character gets involved in a fight, or fights to protect someone (actions), I fully expect those she's fighting against to be REALLY pissed off (reaction). And if they are better trained than her, or physically stronger (stats/levels mean nothing) such as a Roe, I expect her to get hurt...if not badly if she makes a mistake in her fighting (consequence). I expect gashes, broken bones, broken teeth, busted lips and about three months of recovery.

I know this is probably such a forgone question. But will they ever...EVER...expand the server capacity (or whatever they have to do) to allow us to create characters on Balmung again WITHOUT having to transfer from other servers? Why are they dragging their feet on this?

So, in essence, what I'm gathering is: Become VERY rich in terms of gil, probably bordering on the hundreds of millions of gil, to HOPEFULLY find someone willing enough to give up their plot through bribery, or you will be one of the - "Tough shit, kid, better luck next millenia" crowd and be happy with an inn room as your 'plot'. Because the chance of Enix releasing anything new is like trying to win Powerball in the states. A one in a billion shot.

So, I was doing a quest in Lavender Beds. And I noticed EVERY ward is full. So does that mean, being I'm a late comer to FFXIV, I'm pretty much shit outta luck in terms of housing when I reach the level to own a home?

I guess I can say that Akasumi is polite, tries to get over the solitary living, and isn't always successful. She's a huntress (Archer as of this point). She can sing (which will lead to her Bard profession later), but does not like to dance. Her mother was a dancer. Her father, she has no idea who he is. He left when she was a little kitten. She has hunted with others before. But fallen into the "territorial" aspect when someone took a shot that was hers (I'm only guessing that Miqo'te might hiss or growl when they're wronged or get REALLY upset, correct me if I'm wrong please). She has taken swings at people that think she is a 'dancer' or insisted she dance for them because "she's a Miqo'te". Just because she's of the race, doesn't make her like others they've seen. Which again, causes her to start avoiding people again. Treat her with respect, and she'll give respect. Treat her differently than that, and she will be less than polite. Far less.

Good morning FFXIV roleplay community. I'm a new roleplayer to Final Fantasy XIV, but I am not new to roleplay as a whole. I will here and now openly admit I am very unfamiliar with Final Fantasy lore. I play a Miqo'te, Seeker of the Sun (I do have others but...in the interest of not killing myself with my alt-itis this time). I'm looking for a guild that is very friendly someone like me who knows absolutely nothing about the lore. I tend to shy away from HUGE guilds but like small to medium guilds. And I completely suck at RP fights. I don't PvP, so please, don't ask me about it. During the work week, I am normally on from 12:30pm-3:15pm Eastern. On my days off, I'm normally on all day. But more than what I posted above, I'm also looking for places to RP to get my feet wet in the FFXIV lore. Thanks for all the help. -Akasumi
