RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): All Views on RP combat and injuries: Negotiable. I'm comfortable with honor system or rolls, so long as it's not too in-depth like a DnD system. I'm also flexible with how injuries are treated, especially if for a plot. However I do have a preference that injuries require time to heal - that magic can only do so much. Example: Magic can help with critical injuries, stopping blood loss, mending tissue, etc. but there would still be a recovery time to heal fully with risk of reinjury. Views on IC romance: I'm open to my characters having romance, but character development comes first. The relationship should be allowed to flow and progress naturally. No ERP, but FTB is fine. I will play true to my character - if a relationship doesn't work out for my character, she will break it off. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Preferred type of RP. Also open to form pre-existing connections. Views on lore: I prefer to stay within the confines of established lore as much as possible. Minor lore bending is tolerated for plots so long as it's not outlandish. If I make a mistake myself, please let me know and I will correct it. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): Open to use say, party, linkshell, and whispers when appropriate. III.

This sounds really interesting. I have a Miqo'te alt that might be able to help out as an informant. She's been a beggar on the streets of Ul'dah for a few years, and while someone's taken her under their wing, she can't help but revert to old habits and just sit on the side of the street and people-watch. Feel free to message me anytime if you think this kind of character would be of some use to you. ^.^

I cannot express how awesome this thread is. As one of those people where it took considerable effort and time to try and get into the rp community over the past year and a half, feeling disheartened in the process, it's reassuring to see so many people that are so welcoming to new folks. I've already passed this thread on to a few other new rpers I've had contact with. As I'm also still looking for more contacts or rp, you can be sure I'll hit you up in-game if I see you. For others that may read this thread that are in the same boat, feel free to add me or poke me in-game, here, or on tumblr for rp as well. Don't be afraid to whisper me. I'm one of those folks that will derp around either idling or doing content just to kill time. I will drop everything for rp. Even if I'm not in-game, I can usually be in-game right away. While I love story/plot-driven rp, I'm open and willing for any kind of RP. I find social rp is great for meeting new people and forming new connections. To find those you're comfortable with doing more story-driven rp with. My main is a tribal Xaela hunter from the Oronir tribe. She loves learning about other cultures, cooking, and teaching those about her own culture and how to hunt without wasting. She's got a heavy accent, and the language barrier makes for some funny moments with trying to understand jokes and idioms.

She has taken down beasts of many sorts with her bow and daggers. She hunts twice daily for her meals, and no part of a creature goes to waste that she kills. She is a talented cook, having learned many Eorzean dishes as well as keeping more traditional ones from her heritage.
