To expand on Jonexe's light spoilers. Now about the echo. Aaaand finally about Warriors of Light : they are the people who disappeared during the Battle of Carteneau. They are called as such because the only thing people can remember of them is a blurry outline in the middle of a strong light. On the OOC side of things, all characters created before the game went into repair are viable to be Warriors of Light. ICly, nothing stops you from being one even if you're starting.

As a "newcomer" to FF14 (I did play 1.0 for a short while... can't remember why I stopped), I intend to make a character who grew up during the tough times that were the 5 years after the calamity. Plus, having read up on the events that happened during 1.0... Well, it's going to be an interesting brainstorming. Like, how would it be for a really young character to be granted the Echo? What kind of values would have a character who witnessed the whole continent almost getting entirely blown up by a primordial dragon coming out of what used to be a moon? And so on and so on. It's not very common for "post-apo" settings to allow people to actually live the apocalypse (well, it's not exactly there... but close). I can see the appeal of doing that even for legacy characters. And it shows on the poll so far!

French here \o/ So good ol' EU with GMT+1 time zone. I'm used to staying late to RP with NA people, but EU players are always easier on the sleeping schedule =p

I've never really got to RP in a down'n'dirty kind of world yet, but I tend to play characters on the fairest end of the spectrum. The reason being... Well I like pretty characters. And tend to play them rather young. Note that I do not dislike the rugged characters, not at all, I like seeing people do them and bring variety and be that grizzled veteran. Scars tend to have a strong effect, particularly when visible. It tells "this person went through something special!" and generally they do. Even melee fighters really. Those who wear big armors, well, wear big armors, so they are generally well covered, and the "lighter" fighters are generally pretty bent on avoiding getting hit. And there's the case of magic too. In the end it still comes down to those special occasions... And now I think of Squall from FF8 and his training induced face scar. Which is pretty insignificant in terms of experience, yet it's there... As for dirt, well, it's dirt, easy come, easy go, and there's not really options to dirty one's gear! But generally, there's also the fact that video games tend to give you character creators who fit the world. What I've played of FF14 has pretty people all over the place, so it doesn't feel too out of context for me.

*ahem* A tad late on the reply, but thanks for the welcoming! And for the links too, I lurked about a bit to learn some things here and there before, but those will get the job done much better =3

As said in the title, hello there! I'm Dycize, also sometimes known as Talnik. I'm a gamer, a roleplayer and french! I've played FF14 some time ago when it was still 1.0 but I didn't play long. Though I got back in since CB Phase 2. Phase 3 started recently and, well, things have been a blast and I'll definitely be there when the game will go live again! And so I got here because roleplaying is awesome. I will more than likely probably expect to play on Balmung. Because I don't see how Balmung being legacy changes anything, do people not play other MMOs because they weren't there at launch? That's silly :v Anyway, that was it for my introduction~ Looking forward to having a good time with you all!
