Arzilia

Hey there and welcome to the RPC! ^^ In here it's all a bunch of helpful individuals and I'm sure you won't have trouble fitting in. Never doubt to talk to someone and ask a question! I got two characters in Balmung if you ever would like to meet them. Surely there will be many characters with which you can relate on both servers that you can meet here! Feel free send a tell if you want. See you around and welcome again!

Awwwww I really loved this doodle! ^^ They look so warm and cozy!

Hey hey! I've seen threads that post templates of character sheets and people comment as they fill them but what is usually used is the RPC Wiki as a directory to post info about your character! RPC Wiki There are templates to be used which are like your sheets and ready to be just filled out by you. That's all I know, because I have also missed a thread or section to post character sheets in here as a normal info page about your character. Good luck anyway and see you around!

She looks so cute! Thank you so much! It's amazing, your style, your work are really great! =D Keep it up!

Wow! Your art and skills are fantastic!! You've got your hands full but I'll be patient and hope you can get around to do one for my Arzilia. Smiling or with a laugh, that's her usual personality! =D thanks in advance!

Hey! I'm not replying to participate in the group but rather to show you that at least I think this would be a really great idea! I can't really offer Arzilia as a songstress or manager. She only sings well when she's alone, otherwise people just offer her another drink so she stops Perhaps with a few lessons she could learn to do well in public. Anyway, as a huge fan of Macross it would be interesting to have a PC group of songstresses. Totally support this and I hope you get enough interested people so I can go see your shows hopefully some time soon!

Worst possible way? Oookay, here I gooo Arzilia Rausten: Young noble girl from Ishgard joins the dragoons to prove she's capable and dependable; gets her mentor and herself killed.

It's a really good question, a similar one was asked in another thread, and if I recall correctly the topic was "building a gish". Similar but not really the same! I like to think that most disciplines are similar to real life and have a logarithmic growth/curve. That means improvement and learning is greater when you start but with time these begin to decrease and improving in an area becomes more difficult. Perhaps not everything related to a discipline or study follows this curve but we can use the amount of time it takes to advance into the next belt or phase in a martial art as an example. In general it takes less time to move up the ranks at first but the higher belts/phases of your training demand a longer time before being able to apply for the next one. Many martial artists say that a black belt, for example, is not the complete mastery of your training, but rather the true beginning of it when you are ready to learn the more advanced techniques. I like to think that level 30 in a class in FFXIV is similar to a black belt as it's in that level when you can acquire the job related to that class. Needless to say, of course it's harder and takes longer even in video games to continue leveling up. So, I'm really okay with characters that can handle a couple or even a handful of different classes/disciplines, as long as their age allows it and usually stick to their main proficiency or adapt their IC power if they want to even them out. Let's say a 45 year old character is already a master of their first class and also has some level 30 skill in other two disciplines, that seems really natural and understandable to me. But a 17 year old being job-experienced in three different ones seems special snowflake-y. As for my character, Arzilia, she has trained as a dragoon since an early age and also has trained in hand-to-hand combat as a side training, but as a pugilist I'd say she's like a level 15, enough to defend herself but may not really be able to beat another dedicated pugilist. She's also kind of young, which I may use that in my favor if I ever want her to learn something else across the years. Obviously none of the other disciplines she'd learn would be as high as her lancing skills. Hope I managed to explain myself with this wall of text :frustrated:

Hey there! Welcome, welcome! o7 I've heard that waiting for Balmung to open is really rare, that it could take even months for it happen. So I'm guessing the best way is to transfer over here. And therefore, you should try and make as many RPing characters as you think you'd like to use before transferring so you get them all in one trip =D I like what you have on her wiki, and that Soul Calibur song is a really nice touch, kudos to you! Anything else that you need, feel free to send me a PM!

I'm a huge fan of Gintama, Nick, sounds like a good idea. Will it be humor-heavy too? Does Nicholas Holt have a sweet tooth? How about... Nick/Holt of All Trades All-rounders? Lmao Warren, made my day.

Hmmmm!! I think I saw you today, or must have seen you recently. Welcome to Balmung! The Quicksand can be a very intimidating experience, but there's actually a lot of people standing around and waiting to get a /tell or a walk-up, so if you see someone is not talking to another person closeby, chances are you can talk easily. That said, easier RP areas, hmm change depending on the city. Ul'dah has the market which I've seen some RPing as well as the Flames Grand Company. Old Gridania is a bit lonesome but there are other RPers usually around its main Aetheryte and the pub. Limsa Lominsa has a lot of people in the market and the pub as well. You can try going to the scheduled events! It's even easier to meet with other like-minded RPers and gives everyone already a theme or reason to go there and start talking. Feel free to send me a PM or a /tell at Arzilia Rausten and we can also chat something up! She's from Ishgard so I'm sure she'd like to know someone who's been lingering around there.

[video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw16Ipkp0ks Oh yes, I'm very excited for Generations coming out in a week.

Hey there! Welcome to the RPC! Well, I'm not really a veteran or anything, but it's certainly kinda intimidating trying to fit in at first. But I can assure you everyone's very friendly and very eager to help! And of course, eager to RP. So if you have anything to ask or want to meet someone, just send them a /tell in game when you get the chance or send a PM here in the site! I also worry about the lore but hey, there are a lot of people here that know a lot about the game, and there's already a huge amount of information regarding lore and what you need to know. You tell me about worrying about lore, I used expansion stuff for my character with just a few days of actually playing the game. But thanks to many people I've got it, at least good enough to fit with the game's events. So feel free to wander and talk to people. Don't hesitate to send me a PM too, my character still needs to meet more friends!

Heyo there, and welcome to Balmung =D Yeah, the amount of RP is amazing, it makes the game come into life and also intimidates too, but hey, everyone just wants to have fun in the end, too. You can send me a /tell in game to Arzilia Rausten or a PM here and we can chat IC and OOC! RPing helps a lot to build your character so it's perfectly okay to keep modifying him as you go. After all, he's also growing the more he interacts with other people. Welcome again and hope to see you again! ^^

Let me join in the fun! That's a great looking character you have! Monster slaying is such a fun business! Arzilia travels around Eorzea as a mercenary but I'd say she's an expert when it comes to hunting and killing monsters Maybe they can run into each other one of these days! Feel free to PM me or send me a /tell in-game! ^^

You spelled it correctly! Welcome to the RPC and Balmung! ^^ Everyone is pretty friendly and willing to help, so if there's anything you need, you just say it ;P If you want to RP something or want some help in a dungeon don't hesitate to tell me! PM me here or /tell Arzilia Rausten in game! See you around!

But can you outrun a chocobo? Welcome to the RPC! I hope you enjoy your time here. Robots or not, everyone is very friendly and eager to help ^^

Your art style is amazing! ^^ don't give up! I have several artist friends and they all told me that the transition from traditional to digital was really tough on them. But once you figure it out it's a sharp curve of skill and time efficiency. Those last doodles are extremely cute too!

Hey there!! Glad to know you made it!! Welcome to the club. If you ever want to chat and/or play, send a tell to Arzilia Rausten in game, or a PM to me here! ^^

Usually I use the first NPC merchants as standard. For example, initial equipment costs around 400 gil a piece and then it climbs up steadily as level increases. If I see a burger costing twice as my first pair of leather gloves that better be the finest burger! =P But I guess that leaves 1 gil being around 1 USD. That's just in my head anyway.

Thank you for pointing me out! ^^ noted and corrected! I may need to think of a bigger goal now, but that's the most fun, right?

Hello there! I'm very new to FFXIV but not new to RPing at all. I've done tabletop, online, on forums, you name it. Except for actually doing it in-game in an MMORPG but I'm getting the hang of it (any tips or corrections welcomed!) You can check out my directory over here and the wiki page for my character is in my signature. Arzilia Rausten is as new as I am in FFXIV so she has no connections whatsoever yet, so I'm really looking forward to meeting new people and see her have friends and allies. The wiki page is still a heavy WIP but I'll update it constantly over the week. Most of her core is already there but if you also want to ask other things you may want to know that are not there or you want confirmed, just send me a PM! In brief, Arzilia is currently a mercenary wandering Eorzea and apparently just helping people as she goes. She tends to stay a while in each city until work starts diminishing and then sets off again to another city and repeats the process. She's very friendly and doesn't mind meeting other adventurers or people. A lot of them have work for her after all and it's always good to have allies everywhere. Her childhood dream was becoming an Ishgardian knight and made it, but the loss of an important person in her life motivated her to grow stronger, leave her homeland and travel south. She thinks she can't help her city as she is now and feels she can compensate if she aids the people if the other city-states too. She is an extraordinary dragoon and knows how to have fun too. She surely has a lot of stories to tell and, again, she is also in desperate need for friends and allies! Thanks for reading the wall of text, and sorry for dragging on ^^; Over the next few days almost everything you need to know will be on her wiki. Thanks again and I hope our characters get to know each other soon!

Hello there! Welcome to Balmung! I'm pretty new myself but I'm enjoying it greatly so far! I'm sure you will too. Everyone is really nice and you won't have a problem seeking help. You can send me a /tell in game or a PM here if you want to hit something up with Arzilia Rausten.

Gah! I love your artwork! I'd love if you can do Arzilia? I can give these screens right now, but they are just quick things I had at hand. If you need more reference pictures you just let me know! You can use whatever set she has on those pictures, or even anything fancier that you'd like! (since I'm still progressing through the game, I'm stuck with the early-mid game stuff) ^^ 1, 2, 3, 4 Ahh, Aya and Nailah, those pictures are amazing! I hope I can up my ante soon!

Hello! I'm seeking new connections for my character Arzilia too. I think it'd be interesting for her to meet Landrenel, she's also an Ishgardian that traveled south to improve herself and hopefully return to her homeland to better aid it with its current situations. Her occupation right now is a jack of all trades; mercenary, monster hunter, explorer, wandering hero helping people. You know, the goody business. If it interests you, send me a PM!
