Keir

I. Basic Info Character: Keir Loell (Currently it is Keir Loel, but I am fighting support for his old name.) Linkshell: Order of the Stormguard II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Medium Views on RP combat and injuries: OOC agreements ahead of time. Also, no healing unless I give agreement. Views on IC romance: I'm open, but not looking for it. Keir isn't the ladies' man he used to be. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Talk to me first? I'm still getting caught up. Views on lore: I try to stick to it as much as possible. I love lore. I might slip up, though, since I'm just coming back to the game. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I prefer private scenes to start, because again, returning player. I'm mostly posting because I plan to be doing some things with Stormguard, but that may bleed over to the rest of the community. III. Character Wiki: Keir Loell Race/clan: Midlander Hyur Age: 33 Gender: Male Occupation: Wanderer at the moment. He's just returned from Kugane. Alignment: Chaotic Good Personality: Distant, but not without wit or humor at times. Orientation: Bisexual IV. Other Info Country: US Timezone: EDT/EST Contact info: Contact here or /tell Notes: So uh, I'm back? Which I suppose is plain. I don't know if anyone remembers me or not, because it's been a long, long, long time. I don't plan on leading any linkshells or doing any moderating or anything like that. I don't even plan to RP all that hardcore, and I'm still kind of iffy on the game, but I missed Keir. A lot. I'm still trying to get his old name back.

I've run across many cutscenes and NPCs that use it, though at the moment I couldn't give you exact examples. I'll write 'em down as I come across them.

One thing you have to remember with Miqo'te naming is that unfortunately, you can't add apostrophes into your avatar name, like many Miqo names use. I find this a silly flaw in SE's logic.

Am very much enjoying my return. Everyone's being very helpful and welcoming. Thank you!

Thank you, I hope so too someday!

So glad to know you care, Cas! Of course, I will try to send you a /tell tonight. I have to download all of the patches from the last three months....

Hey guys, I dunno - some of you may remember me. Most probably not. I was the leader of the StormGuard before I pretty much disbanded and fell off the face of the earth due to IRL health issues. The issues are still ongoing, and I'm still experiencing a lot of pain, but I miss the game so much, I'm thinking of getting back into it casually - maybe joining another guild until I have my situation under control enough to lead one again. I'm also looking at starting over with a new character. Possibly. Was hoping if you nice folks could provide me some feedback on the current game atmosphere. What job types have a power vacuum? Races? Backgrounds and histories? Would love to hear from many of you - both old faces and new alike. Thanks much for your help, River (former player of Keir Loell)

At this time, there are no plans for someone else to continue the linkshell. However, maybe sometime in the future the Guard will rebuild. In the meantime, I will be continuing the Guard's story with my own character. It heartens me to hear how much everyone enjoyed the concept of the Order. I know that I've let many people down, and I'm very sorry for that as well. Another time, another year, I would have been able to carry the Guard on for years to come. Right now is just a very bad time for me, and I should have realized that far before I created the concept for the linkshell. It's my failing in that that has brought the Guard to this point. For that reason, I'm rebooting the story, and this time, plan to do it right, slowly working the story through while I recover, and then, perhaps once my health is better, open the story up to more individuals willing to participate.

Due to leadership burn out and continuing health issues, the Order of the Stormguard will be officially disbanded as of January 1st, 2011, with all story regarding the Order rebooted to the time of the Sundering on August 22nd, 2010. Castiel, you may remove us from the list of active linkshells.

Updated our website address.

Another thing I think that more people in the RPC need to start considering is how many European players we have. I know that I hear a lot of complaints from some of my members about how so many events are planned at inconvenient times for them. It's totally up to you when you want to start the event, but if you do it later in the evening, you're going to effectively cut out a portion of the people that might want to attend.

Stormguard will be signing up as the Silent Guard, for the time slot of Saturday, November 20th @3:00 PM EST (Noon PST, 8:00 PM GMT). Location: Gridania, Nophica's Altar

Announcing that Falcon's Nest in Coerthas is Stormguard's de facto Headquarters. This is only known to certain members of Stormguard, but I figured I'd mention it for the RPC, OOC. We have an IC headquarters nearby, but for game events and meetings and such, we will be using Falcon's Nest.

We are opening all recruiting now, but with the understanding that we will only be holding one initiation ceremony per month, so depending upon when you join, you may not be inducted into the linkshell for a couple of weeks.

I created an infobox template for linkshells, should you wish to use it: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/index ... -Linkshell

I added some of it, but I think he's assuming a lot from the text. I'm not going to add his moon or month theories just yet, simply because I think he's wrong... but you never know. I added a link to his theory at the bottom of the first post.

Happy Birthday, Cas. Stop fretting for a bit and let yourself enjoy the world, the game, and the awesome things you've created.

Updated headquarters information.

A good tip for looking for RPC events... they show up listed at the bottom of the main forum page. We also have a calendar link up in the top right-hand corner, which is a great resource.

Unfortunately, in any role-play, you're going to run across players who slip up and meta-game that their character can see through your disguise. I am already preparing for the people who think they know more about the Order of the Stormguard than they should. And by preparing, I simply mean, bracing myself for it to happen -- because it will happen. You can handle it a couple of ways. 1. Ignore it. 2. Approach them OOC and correct them. 3. Play it out and keep going. It's really up to you which tactic you take in any given situation.

I will definitely attempt to be there, but possibly as an alternate character.

Shall I beat another dead horse and note that I would never delete posts without just cause and speaking with Castiel about it first? At any rate, I apologize if it seems like I was repeating that which has already been reiterated. I suppose I'm just getting weary of hearing the Besaid hate, not just here, but in other threads. My apologies, again.

Seriously. Everyone. We've made an announcement, SE knows that we have chosen this server. Please, get over the vote and embrace our server.
