Furious Fisherman. What is he furious about, might you ask? Probably your face. ;P Most of my characters are imported from WoW, where I had ask blog URLs for them that followed similar conventions to the NPC names here. Aghurlal's was actually Plenary Prodigy, but considering he's a lot older in this AU and also, um, not an artificially reconstructed abomination created from the bodies of three separate individuals... it doesn't fit as well as it used to. Cinu-a's also doesn't work as well, being as it was very specific to his WoW self (Divaricated Variant). His new one would probably be Fretting Father. Telluric Medic's was... um... Telluric Medic. But that's just her name now (ahh, hellsguard). I think Reserved Roegadyn would work well for her as an NPC. Caiden's was Ambivalent Archaeologist; Liuthas' was Demure Purifier. Confiance's was iconoclastic-curiosity, which would go to Curious Iconoclast. And the other two didn't have blogs because they're FFXIV originals, but Trin would be Peppy Protector and Shuu would be Supercilious Spellcaster.

Aghurlal's style with a polearm is predominantly focussed on mitigation. Which is quite different than the FFXIV Lancer Guild-advocated style of "full fearless offense", but it suits him well as a character. He likes disarming people. He likes redirecting attacks away from himself and taking advantage of the openings left as a result, possibly with his knife if it's close enough quarters. He likes snipping people's vital spots with the sharp end and watching them tire themselves out on the injury. He likes coating the tip of his lance in poison or other drugs that could turn the tide of battle in his favour. He loves distracting people by being annoying so his friend can get behind them and give them a proper stabbing (especially folks the rogues' guild gave him the word to attack, since they're usually pretty bad people). He doesn't have a dragoon soulstone (and won't for the forseeable future; he hasn't got the contacts or prestige to earn one with), but he has a moderate competence in acrobatics - that tail isn't there for show, after all. So think "passably similar to dragoon moves, but within the range of normal human ability", I guess. He's fairly proficient in other weapons. If he was disarmed, and the only other weapon available to him was a sword or somesuch, he wouldn't be helpless. But he wouldn't be as good as someone who favours the weapon in question, and the polearm remains by far his favourite to work with for extended amounts of time. His best secondary weapon is shortblades, on account of they accompany a polearm well - in a position where one is too short/long reach to be used effectively, the other fills the gap nicely. Last but not least, he has the potential to be good with arcanima if he found a teacher and put the hours in, but he hasn't has the opportunity to learn any yet - the fact he's not literate in Eorzean not really helping matters.

Assuming for SOME REASON it was able to be Mine and not passed to my FC (woes of knowing if you find a house in the right district, your FC needs it more than you do...) then I'd probably go about the cute idea I had for something Aghurlal would do if he ever got a place to call his own. It's basically a pub-inn... as a sort-of-front for a soup kitchen-homeless shelter, and maybe a little bit of more shadowy sneakiness. Think like those takeaway places where you can low-key pay extra for your meal, and then if someone else comes in later who can't afford it, then oh hey, it's already paid for. If I was in a Small house (as I probably will be), then I'd have all of that upstairs, and my character's living space in the basement. But if I had a mansion, then I could have a large restaurant and diner area in the central floor complete with reception and waiting areas; guest rooms aplenty upstairs, although I might run into item limit trouble decorating them; and living quarters for him, his husband, his retainers (who are honestly part of the extended family by that stage), and personal friend guest rooms in the basement. Only problem is, with his current backstory, there's no possible way my character would come into enough money as to make this happen - let alone be able to maintain it while he builds a steady enough paying customer base to cover the charity side of things. It's already going to be a scramble figuring out how he could maintain a Small estate. I fear a little rewriting and retconning would have to be done. But it'd be worth it for the sake of doing something like this.

The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales
Kilieit replied to Gegenji's topic in FFXIV Discussion
What sort of tank goes into an MSQ-required dungeon run, sees "one or more players is new to this duty", sees that his party members (including the healer) are below level sync and undergeared... ...then makes HUGE speedrun pulls?? I swear, I know I'm not the best dragoon (I live up to all the stereotypes about standing in AoE's and falling off cliffs haha) but I could hardly get a skill in edgeways for how many AoE's were stacked under the huge trash pulls he was making. The healer was constantly OOM, the bard was constantly switching between TP and MP songs because we were ALL constantly out, and the tank wouldn't even wait until we finished one pull before running on and fetching the next. He just. Kept. Pulling. And then he pulled the last boss during the cinematic, because of course he did... >_> Like, I guess he wasn't an ASSHOLE, and we did clear. But it was still stressful and a bit of a wtf. -
At least in the view of the various Eorzeans who worship them - i.e. I'm after information that could be overheard or researched by a character. Obviously the "veritable truth" of such information is questionable, but I'm specifically after in-world beliefs and superstitions. It's for a fanfiction (sort of) where some characters discuss the Twelve with one another. So when I say "what X thinks of Y", I mean "what the common in-universe belief or tale is about their relationship". I'm especially interested to know about Byregot, the Builder; and Halone, the Fury. I understand they're brother and sister, both being children of Rhalgr, the Destroyer; but I haven't had much luck trying to find information about what they think of one another. Given Byregot's... difficult relationship with his father, I don't think it's a given that they even necessarily like each other; or perhaps they both agree their father's a brute, and are allies in that regard. I don't want to make assumptions either way and end up making a fool of myself when there's already lore that says otherwise. But I also want to know about the others. What Halone thinks of their father, Rhalgr. Likewise, what Halone thinks of Byregot's deference to Thaliak, the Scholar (the father of her rival, Nophica the Matron); whether Nophica and Llymlaen, the Navigator have a good relationship with their father or not, and what each thinks of Byregot, their father's student; what Byregot thinks of his little sister's friend, Oschon the Wanderer; what Halone and Menphina the Lover think of one another; and so on and so forth. This diagram contains what I know so far of their actual relations (assuming I didn't get anything wrong again like I did in the first iteration of this darn thing): (bigger) (Plus Llymlaen being unimpressed with Oschon, but that didn't seem worthy to add on its own. ) So I'm interested in info on what colours those relations, and how amiable (or not) they are.

[align=justify]Personal Profile Character Name: Telluric Medic Gender: Female Race: Hellsguard Roegadyn Wiki profile: (link) - basics/all you need to know Tumblr profile: (link) - more in-depth, more meta info Domestic Profile Civil Status: Adventurer Place of Residence: Buscarron's Druthers Occupation: Freelance chirurgeon Free Company: N/A [however, OOCly have something planned] Social Profile If it wasn't for the name and reputation this Roegadyn possessed, you'd likely not guess on meeting her that she was a medic. She has a flat, blunt demeanour, almost no sense of humour, and an abysmal bedside manner. Nonetheless, it's fairly well known that she's a medic you can go to for help if you don't want the sort of questions a more... state-aligned individual would ask. Using a mix of herbal remedies, practical treatments, and a sparing use of conjury, she can have most people back on their feet, most of the time. She's on good terms with the Serpents and Stillglade Fane, even if she isn't exactly integrated to their command structures. She sets aside time every day to make offerings to the Elementals, and regularly contacts the locally situated Hearer to learn if there's any practical matters she might assist the Elementals with. Meta Profile Roleplayer directory entry: (link) - includes contact details, RP policies Wiki entry: (link) - includes description, rumours, RP hooks Primary character's IGN: Aghurlal Qar'akimusun - contact me here if I'm not on Medic I'm only just starting to develop this character, but if you need/want a healer-type to attempt healing your character's injuries in the Twelveswood area (but especially South Shroud), please do hit me up!! This includes shady characters like poachers and so forth. She'll still help you. The Hippocratic Oath doesn't exist on Hydaelyn, but if it did, she'd take "I will respect the privacy of my patients" very seriously. She was trained by Stillglade Fane in conjury (as soon after the Calamity as they began teaching non-Forestborn conjury) and is listed on the ranks of the Order of the Twin Serpent (likely because she wanted to help treat people's injuries in the immediate aftermath of the Calamity and needed some structure through which to receive directions). So if you'd rather your character knew of her through those avenues than through random rumours about Buscarron's Druthers, then go for it. She also occasionally travels further afield, so although she's primarily found in the Twelveswood, that's not a limitation. It's possible for your character to know of her via the Druthers, but contact her to come elsewhere to perform the actual healing. Before she heals anything, I'll ask the player of the injured character OOC what level they want the injury to be recovered to, then respond appropriately according to their wishes. If you want it to be completely fixed, I can do that; if you want it to be unhealable, I can do that; if you want it to move out of "life-threatening" but still have a recovery time, I can do that. I can also include bits of flavour if you ask me to, like "your character has too much woodsin for conjury to work" or "your character is allergic to that herb". Just let me know. [/align]

[align=justify]Personal Profile Character Name: Aghurlal Qar-aKimusun Gender: Male Race: Au Ra Xaela Wiki profile: (link) - basics/all you need to know Tumblr profile: (link) - more in-depth, more meta info Domestic Profile Civil Status: Adventurer Place of Residence: Middle La Noscea Occupation: Dayjob: fisherman. Career: Rogues' Guild member. Free Company: N/A [however, OOCly have something planned] Social Profile An odd sense of humour, a strangely polite demeanour, very fond of his freedom, and very reticent with details of the circumstances that brought him to Eorzea. He keeps his promises, but he does so mostly by being very picky about which ones he makes to begin with - although considered an "adventurer" in legal terms, he truthfully seems to spend most of his days fishing. The factors which can cause him to take an adventuring job are seemingly random, although he often does so when he wishes to rent an inn room where normally he would have himself in a tent in Middle La Noscea. To Rogues' Guild members, they would know that a not insignificant proportion of his "adventuring" jobs are undertaken in the name of the Guild. His role is to travel with suspicious companies or individuals, posing and acting as a bodyguard, while truthfully feeding information back to the guild on the nature of their dealings. If time is of the essence, he can also participate in the elimination of the individual(s) in question - he's no stranger to combat, or assassination techniques - although usually his colleagues can come in after he's finished his "duty" and handle it on their own. Off-duty, he has a vivacious mannerism, and believes vehemently in the anti-slavery portion of the Code. Meta Profile Roleplayer directory entry: (link) - includes contact details, RP policies Wiki entry: (link) - includes description, rumours, RP hooks Aghurlal's public reputation is such that he is a fisherman, capable of procuring uncommon produce via his unusual fishing style (utilising a harpoon instead of a rod). So if your character needs a weird fish, hit me up, I guess? He is also rumoured to occasionally take bodyguard or adventuring-type jobs in order to make ends meet more comfortably. He's a name suggested if one is looking for bodyguards or otherwise seeking adventurers in need of work. If your character is a member of the Rogues' Guild, they may well know him already. His fishing job isn't exactly solely a cover, but it definitely provides one. It's possible they'd been on a mission together, that Aghurlal had been involved earlier in a mission your character resolved, or that they'd simply run into each other at the Sisters' headquarters. He's been a member for long enough that he's trusted, even if he's not exactly anything resembling senior. I'd love to hear from people wanting his involvement in Rogue-based plotlines, or willing to lowkeyretconsshh him into their time at the Sisters. And... finally... if (and only if) your character happens to be a Scion of the Seventh Dawn, then Aghurlal's actually been on their recruitment list for a good while now. It seems he declined the invitation once already. This is the slowest-burning of his plotlines, and I don't intend to have it resolved any time soon, but you're welcome to bring it up if it suits your character to do so. Might be fun! [/align]

I. Basic Info Characters: Aghurlal Qar-aKimusun ★ Telluric Medic ★ Caidenden Caiden ★ Liuthas Corwell Cinu-a Malaguld ★ Kanshi no Shuukami ★ Y'Trinity Taqa ★ Confiance desFerme Primary character: Aghurlal Qar-aKimusun Linkshells: Outlaw Stars [link]; RP Levellers OOC LS [link]; Rogues of Limsa LS [link]; Sultanswarm [link]. Looking for: Jaguar-tribe Miqo, Malaguld-tribe Au Ra, Buscarron's Druthers regulars. Primary RP linkshell: N/A. II. Contact Info Country: United Kingdom Timezone: United Kingdom (GMT / BST) Contact: Tumblr (checked every day). Twitter (checked every day). IGN: Aghurlal Qar-akimusun (if I'm in a party, I'm probably already RPing). III. RP Style ★ TL;DR: ✦ Message me to plot before starting a scene. ✦ You'll enjoy RP with me most if you enjoy LGBT and mental illness themes. ✦ Let me know if you're comfortable with mature themes, such as violence or sex; I won't include them if you don't say. ✦ Don't Echo without my permission & input. ✦ I reserve the right to withdraw from or retcon out a scene, at any time, for any reason. You are afforded the same right. ★ Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Medium aspiring to heavy. I have very few IRL commitments to tend to, but I do have a chronic illness that impacts my ability to do things (including RP). I also haven't reached endgame yet, let alone with all of my characters, so I need time to do that as well; and bear in mind I have multiple characters I intend to RP regularly, too. My overall RP policy is thusly: "We are here to write a fun, quality scene, with a satisfying narrative outcome for both parties." Therefore I like a little bit of planning before diving in, even if it's very simple or short-term. It means we can potentially spot similarities in, say, our characters' backstories, and guide the conversation towards something that would get them actually talking rather than just chatting. I also reserve the right to, as a last resort in several situations, retcon a character, storyline, relationship, etc. out of my character's backstory and character development. I also extend the same right to my RP partners. On my end, this would most likely happen if the RP ends up upsetting me OOC, if it ends up "cornering" my character and stopping them from developing, if we fall out OOC, or if you disappear on me without warning for more than about a month. ★ Views on RP combat and injuries: Player consent is mandatory. From inception, to execution, to healing, to resolution. Long-term RP injuries require forethought and permission. So does healing those injuries, and the extent to which injuries are healed by a given player-administered treatment. Combat RP itself is tricky because I've yet to find a way of doing it that I like. Best guess right now is deciding beforehand with the other RPer what the outcome is going to be (in terms of who wins, how, by how much, and with what injuries), and then improvising how they get there. RP combat should not be about getting a one-up over the other party OOCly, especially when it's PC vs PC. That's no fun. That's not to say no one can ever lose - it's to say that if someone loses, it should be because they've OOCly agreed that their character should lose, and that it will be fun. Needless to say, if I don't trust someone to have that sort of cooperative spirit in mind going into the combat, I won't enter the RP with them. When RPing healing, I consult with the player being healed as to what they want the healing to achieve (do you want your character to be back to normal, or to have a potentially fatal injury reduced down to a recovery time of a couple weeks, or what?). Once I know that, I roleplay my character's actions to facilitate that outcome. ★ Views on IC romance: Love it. I love exploring romantic relationships in RP. I have rules about it, though, b/c as much as I enjoy it I've definitely had some problems in the past: ✦ There has to be IC chemistry! ✦ I have to trust you at a basic level OOC! This includes not to be a creep about it! If I think you're in it out of hopes for an OOC relationship, for example, I won't be happy going ahead. ✦ You can't have a problem with gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, or asexual characters. ✦ As above, with polyamorous characters. ✦ As above, with transgender characters. ✦ I won't change things about my characters to make it more convenient to you or your character, or to make the romance run smoother. ✦ Default for NSFW scenes is fade-to-black! ✦ If you want anything else, you must reliably confirm that you are over 21 years of age. This is a hard limit. ✦ I reserve the same right to retcon a relationship out, in part or entirely, and extend the same to you. If those are a problem, we can just stay away from romantic RP; it's no big deal. ★ Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Up front gonna say, for practical purposes, all of Aghurlal's family are dead. Yes, all of them. So there's no possibilities there specifically. My other characters mostly have living relatives, though, so I'm open to that if our characters have the right kind of chemistry and we get along OOC. As for other kinds of non-romantic RP, I think I just enjoy exploring people's relationships in general, so I'm definitely open to it. Friends, found family, "moirails", hateships, colleagues, rivals... go for it. Pitch an idea at me, tell me why you think it's good, I'll probably agree and add to your points, and we can go for it. Some of the same rules from above apply: ✦ There has to be IC chemistry! ✦ I have to trust you at a basic level OOC! ✦ I reserve the same right to retcon a relationship out, in part or entirely, and extend the same to you. ★ Views on lore: Honestly... fun > "letter of the lore", within reason. I'd call what I do interpreting the spirit of the lore, to the best of my abilities, and executing concepts within that. The fandom I'm from is the Warcraft fandom, where the lore is held together with wishful thinking and Chris Metzen's wacky daydreams, so I picked up some arguably bad habits about interpreting the lore pretty loosely... but it makes it fun IMO, and at the end of the day, that's what RP is meant to be about. I say "within reason" because I hold that if the concept would invariably require other RPers to re-write their story or their character's role in the world in order to fit yours in, then it's better suited to private RP among friends. And for specific things: ✦ I'm OK with Echo-based RP (all of my characters have the Echo in one form or another), but we must plot beforehand. If we haven't plotted, I won't include my character's Echo in any major way, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't either. ✦ I would rather not be approached by other people's interpretations of canon characters, especially in-game. I consider this a power-play/god-mode, as these characters wield a level of power and influence well beyond what most people roleplay. ✦ I didn't see the content as it came out. I don't know which quest belongs to what patch, and other things like that. Please don't yell at me for "spoilers" for stuff that came out a good while ago. ✦ Sometimes, my characters will be mistaken about the nature of something. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I share their misconceptions. I roleplay to roleplay; if I want/need lore advice, I'll receive it during OOC conversation, not an RP session. ★ Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I prefer to keep emotes in /em and speech in /say; I type very quickly, so I tend to write 3-4 chat lines in quick succession, then wait a little to let my partner reply. But that's just me. I recognise other people have different preferences, and it doesn't really bother me. If it's a closed RP session, I'd rather hold it in /p. IMO it's not fair on others to have a conversation in /s, but then if they try to join in, rebuff them OOCly. I guess I see IC linkshell as like a Vent/Teamspeak server for our characters?? In other words, you're not going to be getting visual feedback on what a person is doing. But again, that's... me.

Main Character's Name: Aghurlal Qar'akimusun (Balmung) Brief description: Aghurlal is a fisherman with a secret. Your character might already know of him if they're associated with the Fishermen's Guild, or the Dutiful Sisters of the Eidelweiss. I have 7 other characters on Balmung, too, if one of them would fit with yours better. Also it's probably best if you're LGBT and mental-illness friendly. Usually online: (British local time) 4pm - 8pm 12am - 3am If I'm in a party, I'm probably already RPing. Intensity: Let's go ahead and say medium aspiring to heavy, but I'm fully capable of light sessions as well. Of note, though: I'm pretty shy and usually like to get to chat OOC a little before starting an RP session. /telling me with an idea for a scene (even if it's something simple, like "they could meet at the Wench and get chatting") is better than just asking "wanna RP"! There must be something that made you reach out to me, specifically, for RP; tell me what it was, and we can go from there.

I've been sitting on this dilemma for almost a month now, so I thought I'd raise it here too. I have this character. Liuthas Corwell. He's a Midlander Hyur, and his fighting style resembles what the game terms as "gladiator". He has a twin sister, Lusetta, and both are orphans since a young age. They are raised with some fairly particular religion-based views about what is The Right Way To Live, but through the course of Liuthas' character development, I plan that he will come to question these views and eventually become more open-minded. Even though he starts out misguided, he is a kind-natured sweetheart. He became estranged from Lusetta all the same - because she believed he was being too merciful towards their enemies, while he believed she was a war-mongering oaf. So that's what I already know about him. He's an import from another setting, so those are the aspects of his backstory I've decided to keep. Problem is... I can't decide where in Eorzea he's from. Option #1: He's Ala Mhigan. Option #2: He's Forestborn. Option #3: He's Ishgardian. Option #1 offers a clear place as to how they could have been orphaned (they're young enough that their parents could have been killed during the original Garlean take-over of Ala Mhigo). It also offers a clear reason for the twins to have split - Lusetta believing bloody revolution is the only way to take back the city, while Liuthas believes they shouldn't expend more lives than necessary. However, it makes it a bit harder for me to get the "religious righteousness" alongside his temperament, because I feel like vehement worshippers of Rhalgr wouldn't be as sweet as I intend him to be... it's also a little difficult to find clear canon information on Ala Mhigans, and I feel weird taking someone else's fanon. Option #2 provides a clear source of the type of dynamic I want him to have with his religious-type views - the vehement views some Forestborn hold where you Must Do This and Must Not Do That or risk invoking the Greenwrath, which in times before the Calamity would have been based in facts, but these days comes across as close-minded and xenophobic. It would be fun to show him adjusting to outsiders, and travelling further afield himself. But it's a bit harder for me to contrast him with his sister in this situation, since presumably they'd have no huge discrepancies; and I also don't have a clear "all-encompassing war" that could have killed their parents. Option #3 seems to provide everything I want - orphaned by the war with the dragons, raised by priests of Halone, Lusetta thinks they should invade the Dravanian homeland in retaliation where Liuthas thinks they should just seek to end the war and stop the bloodshed - but... I haven't got to Heavensward content on my main, yet. I don't feel I can confidently say "yes, my character is Ishgardian" until after I've played it through to the current patch. That could take me weeks or months from now, and it feels weird leaving his backstory "pending" while I do that when I might not even decide to make him Ishgardian in the end... I also want to consider how easy it would make it to RP him with others. I haven't really made contact with the in-game RP community yet (I'm on Balmung) so I don't know if any of these backstories are either "supposed to be" rare (among adventurers) and are considered overdone, or if any are considered under-done and would be more in demand. I also don't know if any are generally in-character stigmatised against or not (which would change the kind of RP I would be doing on him), or if any have particularly large/active RP communities that I could be interested in joining. Obviously all of the backstories are pretty mutually exclusive, so I can't really fudge it and decide later...

Sorry this is so long! --MMORPG background I've been playing WoW for ten years, and was (am? we didn't disband, just...) a guild leader for the more recent chunk of that. But a combination of lack of new quests to play through and all of my guild members except two moving to FFXIV lead to them buying me the game as a gift this winter gone, and me giving in and switching. I'll probably still go back to WoW when Legion drops, but how long for depends how established I get myself in FFXIV, really. --RP experience I grew up roleplaying. Both my parents are roleplayers (tabletop - if you're familiar with the UK scene, you might know us...), so I can't really remember any time when I enjoyed a game without turning it into something of a roleplaying exercise. I ran a popular RP guild in WoW for a couple of years. I used to run weekly events and all that stuff... except then my friends stopped logging in, and my chronic illness kicked my ass. I haven't done any public RP in an MMO in almost two years, tbh. I've been roleplaying privately with friends during the interim. --Character ideas/info I have eight Balmung alts at various stages of development. Aghurlal, my Au Ra "fisherman", is the most polished of them & the one I have the most interest in RPing on a ~daily basis. I've had trouble getting started with him, because he's very reticent with... all the things that make him interesting from an OOC perspective, haha. I'm worried people will either find him boring (if it takes too long for him to open up) or overly angsty and "attention-grabbing" (if he does so too soon). It's a difficult balance to strike, and fear of getting it wrong has been holding me back. He lends himself most easily to planned, plot-heavy, closed RP... but I want to get back into walk-up and attending public/open events (and maybe running them again, health allowing). --How did you learn about the coalition? Saw it mentioned several times in-game. Decided to google. Realised I'd been using yourn timeline resource since I started making my characters' backstories anyway. Eventually got around to signing up so I could make wiki pages. Decided I should probably at least say hi on the forums. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? In my heart I'd love to be a heavy roleplayer, but most of the time my health just simply doesn't allow me to put the time in. So as much as I can do, really. That said, I take a comparatively loose approach to canon. Which is to say, I enjoy following it, and finding ways to fit my characters into it... until there's no canon ruling on what I want to do. Or until I think the canon ruling is lazy hand-waving, and that something more in-depth would lead to more entertaining roleplay. I love filling in gaps where I see them; or hearing what other players have done to fill in the same gaps, and incorporating that into my roleplay. I want to get my characters into (non-FC-based) linkshells that suit them, but I'm going to be careful with that, because I only have so much time and energy to divide between them. I don't want to take up a space in someone's busy linkshell if I only log on the character once a fortnight. Also worth mentioning that LGBT and mental illness themes feature fairly prominently in what I do. --Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) My name's Otter. I'm in my 20's. I live in the UK. My first FF game was Crystal Chronicles. As I mentioned before, I'm chronically ill/disabled, and unfortunately it affects every aspect of my life (including my RP hobby). I have a kitty.
