Kivhi

I. Basic Info [align=left] Characters: Kivhi Yugha, Momochi Mochi (Kivhi Yuuga and Momoki Moki in beta 3) Primary character: Kivhi Yugha Linkshells: None, but interested! Primary RP linkshell: See above. [/align] II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): I'm pretty variable. I'm honestly very shy when it comes to RPing with strangers, but I do put a lot of thought into my characters. Once I get settled in my own little space in ARR though, I reckon I'll be leaning more towards medium-heavy. Views on RP combat and injuries: I'm very terrible when it comes to RP combat, haha. I'm open to either of the above, though. I've done RP injuries in the past and I think the marks left by conflicts with other people helps a character's story go a step further. Views on IC romance: I'm not adverse to it. Just expect me to ask a lot of what-if questions to help my imagination grow! Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): All for that stuff! Discovering lost family members is something I've done in the past and I really enjoyed it. Views on lore: Put simply: I love lore. I love reading about the stories and timelines that make up any game. Sometimes, the lore alone will inspire me to create a character and RP in my head! I find it all very fascinating and will definitely go the extra mile to make sure I'm well-read with a game's (or person's!) lore. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): IC chats are generally /say, /yell, /me and other emotes, and maybe some RP specific linkshells. OOC includes /party, /shout, and whatever else I'm missing. I tend to consider /shout to be like Barrens chat or map chat. /tell can be either IC or OOC, depending on context. III.

Well, I'm not so sure about FFXIV, but I know in WoW, my old RPPvE guild considered raiding as IC-canon, but thought of it more like being another group who joined with the specific faction that killed the end boss in the lore (IE; the Ashen Verdict who felled the Lich King), as well as possible other unnamed guilds/groups/individuals. Maybe a similar sort of deal could work with raiding content in ARR?

Wow! I'm honestly a bit blown away by the amount of positive comments I've gotten. Truly, thank you everyone! It really means more than you know.

You're all very kind. <3 I wish I could express just how thankful I am. I've been noticing myself plateauing a lot more than I should and I know that has to do with me not venturing outside of my comfort zone very much. When I suddenly crank out a piece like this one, it feels really nice to know that you can never stop improving if you go that extra mile.

Lately I've been feeling pretty awful about my art, but this little piece I did yesterday made me feel a little better. My character Kivhi, lost in thought under the light of the moon. Color and backgrounds aren't something I usually do in pieces, but I felt like going out of my comfort zone for once and I'm glad I did.

I didn't get very many, but now that I know I can at least take some, I'll get more this weekend.

Hay gurrl haaaaay! Haha, absolutely! I didn't really RP with people outside my WoW guild, but I'm hoping to change that with ARR. Oh, oh! Oh, that's me! I'm the boyfriend. Dingoid!

It looks like a lot of new people have been showing up! Consider me yet another. I'm a bit timid when it comes to posting around big, new forum communities, but everyone here seems very kind. I look forward to settling in! Unfortunately, I never got to experience FFXI or XIV 1.0 and that's something I really regret. However, I have played a wealth of other MMOs in my time and got introduced to RP in WoW. I hung out with a very close knit group of people and still talk to them on a regular basis (including my dear boyfriend, who happens to be a member of this very forum!). Let's see... I'm an 18 year old youngin' from Nebraska, lost in a sea of corn. Music, art, and League of Legends make up the fabric of my life. I'm still working on getting set up for college and/or a job, but I do volunteer at our local humane society every weekend. Animals are a big part of my life and I couldn't live without them. Waiting for A Realm Reborn to come up again at the end of the week is an excitement I haven't felt since waiting every weekend for the Guild Wars 2 beta. I'm absolutely loving what the game has to offer so far and I'm looking forward to taking my first step into the RP community. So yeah! It's nice to meet everybody!
