Teardrop

I would suspect you would probably be able to find your niche somewhere here, Dubs . FFXIV from a mechanical standpoint facilitates role play fairly well; there are a good number of emotes, you can walk, sit, etc. Within the community, you'll find all levels of role play strictness, and if you take a look at some of the forum threads, you'll see that's the case...luckily, we seem to be able to incorporate all RP play styles here within the forums with very little head-butting and drama Dunno if that's the type of shallow input you are looking for, but that's just what I have in the way of an intro :blush:. Take a look at how some of the conversations are shaking out on the boards to see if its a group of people, and a game, that you'd like to get further involved with...for most people, I think, that answer becomes "yes" in a rather short time

Thought I might mosey on over here after reading your boyfriend's introduction to the community And as I mentioned to Selsix, why not come over and join in on the conversation over in the Duskwight discussion thread. We'd certainly love to get to know the both of you a bit better :thumbsup: Oh, you should check out the rest of the forums too

Ah, well, by the looks of your (and your girlfriend's) avatar, it appears we may share a similar interest...might I shamelessly make you aware of the Duskwight discussion thread, so we can integrate you two properly into our cozy subterranean community . Not that you have to stay there, mind you...have a look around elsewhere too :lol: Welcome, and I hope to see you two in game :thumbsup:

Well, you have a little bit of time to figure it all out, but I'm sure if you contact some of the various organizations found here at Linkshell Hall, they may be likely to consider you the player for membership, and let the character concept come later. There are plenty of folk who haven't quite nailed down all the details yet .

Wait, its like deja-vu all over again :dazed:...I thought I've seen this same post somewhere before, or something similar Glad you made your way over here, and it looks like you already come highly recommended :thumbsup:

Greetings, Annaveil! You've come to the right place, as far as a resource to potentially flesh out your character's concept, as there are several active forum threads going on at any one time regarding the various races, background lore, etc Good luck with your concept, hope to see the finished product in game :thumbsup:

With your permission I would like to link Lecard Father's clan to the Desfosse. I was wandering the wiki and looking at this forum when I stumbled back across your clan description, which is exactly the same description I had come up for his father's clan. I am thinking they could be a branch that split off or something, let me know what you think. on another note, looking over all the wiki stuff and DW info, I was wondering if there is a way to add a link to the "Known Duskwight Clans" wiki page on the main Duskwight Elezenpage. Just an idea to make it easier to stumble onto. You know, its something to do with the wiki, when people update it, sometimes the links go away. I've found that to have happened a couple times...not long ago, it was linked to both. I'll fix it again, though :thumbsup:

Well, THAT certainly sounds familiar . You get a 9/10 from the French judge My Duskwight is named Isobeau Mauvaix

Highlanders often take on a last name that has some meaning to them. So you'll see Hyur with a "made-up" name, or two word name, and that absolutely holds to within the naming conventions as written Sure you know that though :thumbsup: Felix Sideris has a Latin feel to me...you sure you're not a Garlean spy as well, hmmmm :lol:? If you're a Midlander, not a bad bard name; 8/10. If you were a Highlander, maybe Felix Slidebar would fit well for a music-making minstrel (again with the two-word names ) My Duskwight's name is Isobeau Mauvaix *note: Aysun jumped me, but then Tarath jumped back in...I feel justified to retaining my original post *

*grabs the lala and tucks it under her arm, just dodging out of the velociraptor's way at the last possible moment*

Greetings, Doyle ! I commented on your character creation post, I thought you have a nice, fresh, unique look in your short-haired variation...I think you'd stand out of the crowd with that look, in a good way Thanks for introducing yourself :thumbsup:

(That's a lot of writing! Nice job...thanks for sharing your hard work :thumbsup: )

"Clan Mauvaix" encompassed clan miners who weren't necessarily blood, but were part of the clan...there is one avenue . I'd be more than happy to help cook up something flavorful with you :thumbsup:

Welcome! Not sure if you know this, but, due to many of the concerns you have regarding a legacy server, there is a large RP community being established on one of the new servers, Gilgamesh. Good luck :thumbsup:

(Awww...too bad Walnut couldn't come with Nice job!)

Hawt

(Interesting revelations! Nice read :thumbsup: )

Well, I'm certainly glad to see another Duskwight make their way into this thread ! Its been a lot of fun discussing all the various aspects of what it means to us to be a Duskwight, and the contribution we've had is just amazing...I think only the Miqo'te threads might get more posts and views (and well, they do outnumber us like 10 to 1 though :lol: ). It looks like you are nurturing the seed of what your Clan may become already...you probably just need to roll it around a bit longer. You know, the bullet points under the Clan Listing really aren't all that in-depth...kind of jump-off points that you can flesh out at a later point. And certainly, many players aren't even going to bother with it, so really, its just an exercise for the individual if they want, to help further explore their own character. Sure looks like you'll have good reason to bump into Eva at some point, though

Welcome Shizu! I'm a former Tera role player myself. We get such a bad rap sometimes, but I had some of my best role play over there . Looking forward to seeing what your organization is all about :thumbsup: !

(Entertaining...keep it up :thumbsup:! Maybe change that to "male" (do Miqo'te refer to themselves as "men"?)...sorry, t'was the only thing I stumbled upon :blush:... overall, it was fun. Thank you for sharing )

(So I was sitting there playing with the wonderful FFXIV name generator, looking for inspiration on my planned Roegadyn alt, when this name popped up. Needless to say, my search ended here ) "Every time we get ready to go over the top, there's always some NCO standing there asking us if we want to live forever...what kind of dumb-@$$ question is that?" - Valiant Cherry Easily overheard at any point throughout the tavern, or even the nearby street... Valiant Cherry is anything but. I'm her, and there, I said it. Being a shield bearer in the Rangers was never about being the first into the fray; it was a nice excuse for always having something right there with me to hide behind...and if you've never observed a couple of yalm's worth of mountain-bred muscle fit behind a thin sliver of metal and wood, well, you've never seen anyone really try. Or been on any battlefield I've been a part of. See, I'm a lover, not a fighter. Menphina is my Twelve of choice, and if I had my way I'd rather be preaching her gospel all night long in the privacy of my own choosing, instead of out on some conflicted field being stabbed at by pointy things. One could say that its an occupational hazard for both endeavors, but I'll not go there. Sadly for me, its what we do. Hellsguard Ranger, life of danger blah, blah, blah. Come of age, sign the dotted-line for some mercenary company, and away you march. Unless you have bad eyes, then they issue you a pair of Lenin specs and send you off to the library. Unfortunately, the way the Rangers usually conduct the vision test during processing is by hurling harmful heavy objects at your head. Kinda hard to cheat on that one...its just natural to try and move out of the way; our scholarly types are mostly the very blind or the crazy patient. You could probably even drop the "patient" part and come out in the right of it. I'm a short-timer now though. I did my time in the suck. Four years and a bit more than eleven moons...less than a moon to go. I was one of those swept up in that wave of enlistments right after Cartineau, when it was the "patriotic" thing to do. Got drunk, got inked on the old gluteus ("Honor and Valor, by The Twelve" on a scroll wrapped around a sword and shield...see?), got shafted by the Ranger recruiter...what else is new. Oh, word to the wise; never get the slogan of the martial body you are about to join tattooed before you're actually in it...Drill Instructors seem to find that amusing, in a bad way. Never thought I'd see the front at all. Figured I'd be a barber, or mend subligars, or some other really important rear echelon duty. For the longest time, the Rangers didn't even let females into the line Companies. Guess when a good number of your men suddenly become so much ash carried about by the winds of Mor Dhona and elsewhere, well, its not like we were the weaker sex to begin with. I like to cook, but instead of a ladle, I got a lantern shield...which drew arrows from enemy archers like a torch does moths. That's how I got really good at making myself small, by the way. Being in a mercenary company means having to deal with others outside your kind on occasion. Have you ever entered into a room full of Hyur with a name like "Valiant Cherry"? Sometimes, I think they named the race based on their laugh alone. The worst of it is when they finally stop the guffaws long enough to explain to my fellow Roegadyn why they are laughing. I'd have almost no use for the Highlanders at all, were it not for the majority of our own lads being hung like hamsters...it goes back to the whole Menphina thing. Oh, the Company reenlistment officers have been after me for a couple moons now. "Valiant Cherry, you're so brave. Valiant Cherry, you're always out front." The only way they can even say that with a straight face is because they can't tell the difference between a whooping war cry and an abject wail of terror...and the best places to hide always seem to be ahead of me. Sometimes, though, they ask what I'm going to do when I get out if I don't do this...never seem to have a good answer for that one. Maybe I'll move to Limsa Lominsa and reinvent myself. I'm pretty light skinned, could probably even pass for a Sea Wolf...don't know my traditional name, actually, but if I diddle my lips with my finger at the Registrar's, I should be able to come up with something appropriate; Hubbledubby Wubbleflubby reporting for duty, shipmate! Nah, actually, that sounds more like a Lalafell. Less than a moon to go, and I'm free; I can do that standing on my head. Still have to sleep on what I'll do when I get out, though. Maybe I'll do that now...under this table here.

Hello CESS ! You've almost filled out an entire directory's worth of info right here in your introduction. If you want to go a step further, the Balmung RP directory will let others in the community look you up, and see your role play preferences, should you so desire . Good luck, and I hope to exercise some rp-muscle with you some day :thumbsup: !

Welcome Revya! Ooohhhh...a writer ! Can't wait to read what you post. I've done a little bit of it with my meager skills here, and the only thing I can say is just dive right in and post something. The worst that can happen is it gets posted on a busy forum cycle and gets swept away for a while, but the community is usually pretty good at looking at all of the daily posts, and not just the "featured few" one gets listed on the side there Many people share their creative works on these forums...its a pretty accepting place Good luck, hope to see something from you in the near future :thumbsup:

Buenos dias, Sheridan ! I think I find that non-native English speakers are even more careful about their postings and whatnot than those who grew up with it and become jaded at the keyboard. Looks like you have some immediate plans already, with the mentor and such. You can also fill out a role play directory (once you decide which server you might play on), to help others in the community know a little more about your role play preferences and style . Otherwise, welcome aboard, and I hope to see you in game :thumbsup: !
