Hi, same here! About uh, most of that. Long time rper, new to ffxiv as of a few days ago. Just transferred and I play mostly miqo'te. I used the lazy way to look decent - pay $10 for a custom outfit from the mog shop. There is RP to be had in the lavender beds ward in my city, so depending on where you started check out the personal housing district for open bar areas.

Summons... where do they come from and are they coming willingly? How close to the DnD/FR lore is it?

Great job! If you're still looking for a muse here's my moon and sun. Lhei's "freckles" and her white eyes are meant to follow a moon and stars visual theme. Personality wise, Lhei is the more open and approachable one and K'ly is more aloof, despite appearances.

Thanks, the purpose of the research is to figure out what happens to the land around where pieces of Dalamud fell down. If anyone has good links or would care to add in what they know, it would be very helpful!

Thank you! Guess I should say I like story based and character development RP the most, along with general social RP and relationships be they love or hate.

I'm going to transfer over just as soon as the 3 day wait lifts. :cry:

When you're all excited to join Balmung but the system shuts you down for a 3 day new character wait. :frustrated:

Very pretty!

Thanks! Think I'm good now.

Thanks, here's the source for reference.

Reddit quote: The yellow crystals are explained in the game as crystallized Aether. Aether is crystallized in large formations like this when a large number of people/animals/living things die all at once. So these giant crystals are basically mass graves' tombstones when you think about it. A ton of people died at the battle of Carteneau when Bahamut went berserk, that's why they appeared around that time.

I agree with all those points Warren. But I decided to make my own clan lore instead of using another setting altogether.... I was thinking it would be neat to work in the fallen shards of the moon to the site of where my clan is located. Once I started researching the moon I found they'd done a whole story about the moon shards. How cool is that? Synchronization. :lol:

Lhei Bajihri (unless I decide to change it) Stars and Moon theme on the face for some background I'm cooking up.

Yeah! I was just thinking something along those same lines just now. It would mean dumping a bunch of lore and only using bits and pieces but I'm okay with that. Perhaps a clan that has barred almost all contact with the outside world, with my character being an overly inquisitive soul who can't go by the rules.

True, except I'm not that kind of person. I really enjoy the lore. I planned to use a homebrew campaign because the Miqo'te are eerily similar to the cat clan race of the other world we play in.... Down to worshiping a moon goddess among other details. Naturally, most of my starter lore is thus invested in the Keepers of the Moon. I've used outside lore before while gaming in a subtle fashion where names and hard setting facts aren't often given, and I found it gave the RP a fun flavor. But I understand if a more pure setting is desired. I think you made great suggestions on how to use my own ignorance in making and playing a new character.

I'm thinking of switching over to the RP server, so I might be up for this. Depends on the details.

Thank you, good to know. Would anyone be kind enough to post a few screenshots of typical RP? I'd like to see how the format and flow go in this game. And I don't know if there's a trick to the text box, but it seems so very sluggish for fast typers?

He seems interesting. Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes uppity snark styled PCs. I'm not on Balmung so... good luck!
