Jana

While I'm super-interested, I'll hold off to let new players sign up first! If anything, think of me as signing up as a potential backup, if that's okay. :>

Bummer! Maybe next time then.

Keep in mind that the thread hasn't been posted in since July of last year. It's generally poor form to necrobump a thread that's died its natural death so many months ago, so if it were a general thread instead of a linkshell thread, you should make a new one on the topic. But since it is a linkshell that went inactive, you should stick to looking for actives with a similar theme. All linkshells in the Hall but not in Chronicles are active, in theory.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before in these kinds of threads, but since my mains in MMOs have been leaning a bit on the villain side, I fully expect for them to be killed off. But I never plan for it. My Tera character, a mad scientist/bioterrorist, was supposed to be killed off by the time I stopped playing it and made the switch to XIV... But partially because I waited too long (players with characters who would have helped see her die quit before I did) and partially because I wasn't willing to wait longer (players interested in saving her didn't quit right away, or at all), her story ended on retirement instead of death. Jana in FFXIV is a bit different but she does commit evil acts, and drowning herself in the blood of others is probably going to happen if she stays the course. But I'm not planning to railroad her to it, an I'm always willing to take the interactions she has with other characters as means for her to change or even turn her life around.

Actually, I'd go further than everyone else and avoid anything more than "You're being creepy/clingy, goodbye" and drop the relationship ASAP. I've seen too many friend groups get twisted up in OOC-ly controlling partners to ever bother sugarcoating it.

More Subtil(?) as Jana, and I guess I'll state that she intends to try and drag Virara along (depending on how her event last time played out/who else signs up for this one first).

The new Valkyria Chronicles is my trigger. While the original is my favorite, I don't even care that much about the animustuff and I'm a sucker for qt3.14 waifus... But god, what are they trying to do with the gameplay? Hopefully the overwhelming success of the original's Steam release (and upcoming PS4 port) will convince Sega to least port the rest of the original trilogy off of a dead handheld.

Better a mobile game than a pachinko game, I always say.

Voice chat isn't something that anyone needs outside of progression raiding or first times at a new Ex Primal. I myself haven't used it since T9.

Jana's melee fighting style is based more around reflexes than anything else. For that reason she can be pretty comfortable with almost whatever weapon she can get her hands on, though something that's heavy like an axe or greatsword is more of a hindrance than fighting barehanded. For the same reason, she's more comfortable in leather armor than plate. Inertia also plays a big part in it; she knows how to use the motion she's in the middle of to make her next few motions do maximum damage.

I'm still stuck at "This Team Name already exists" but I'm gonna be a speargirl and ride around on a... Whatever the mounts are. And then I'm spear things, and carry them around.

It's in English and not Japanese so it can't be an April Fools joke yet... Can it?

Has Crofte been dipping into Jana's crazy flakes?

I don't really care about Final Fantasy (XIV is both the first and only game I've played in the series), but if it's an action combat game I'll be interested in getting it when it comes out.

I'd imagine the terrestrial beast mounts will fly like Santa's reindeer, sort of just running through the sky.

Those who don't consider Papaya canon will be first against the wall.

PSO2 tends to preview this stuff a few months before release but if FFXIV's team hasn't even decided what to put in, it's a little alarming!

I think it's a good distinction to make! Even Ridah who's coocoo for Cocoa Puffs has moments where she reflects on her actions, but I usually keep them "offscreen" because it doesn't match the scenes she's actually killing people in, nor would such a thought kick in immediately after melting someone. It's also IC for her to avoid showing weakness to her cohorts, which remorse certainly counts as to her.

We should start a club!

Jana's definitely someone who's let herself be twisted by her role in killing to the point where she's disappointed if she has to leave a useless enemy (i.e. one who can't provide information or something) alive. Sometimes I worry that she's just going to look "edgy" to an outside observer or an RPer meeting her for the first time, though.

Jana, without any other words, began stepping backwards to leave. It seemed like the potential for violence had passed, and if the drunks wanted to keep drinking somewhere else, it had little to do with her

Whichever FC Shoshopu and Fyrilsunn are in is a Foreign Levy company, maybe they are close to what you're looking for. I'm at work so I can go digging for the name myself right now.
