Dreams of Priapia

Thanks for all the wonderful welcomes! I've just begun delving into the game and have been enjoying it immensely, will likely be able to make my actual transfer to Balmung once those required days since creation have passed, and I can't wait. I really love how the lore is gradually opened up to you as you progress, and I'm just so hyped to see where it goes. *Continuously praises title screen intro shot.* 1. That's fair enough, haha, though you well know that we writers always suffer from the curse of modesty. That said, you'll definitely being seeing some writing from me as I typically do indulge in sharing short stories surrounding most of my roleplay characters eventually. 2. I haven't gotten the opportunity to read that particular play, though my teacher in highschool occasionally made mention of it as one of his favorites, and I absolutely love anything that challenges conventional stagings as it seems to do (from the description of the play, I'm getting a very Brechtian vibe, which is great). As for my personal favorite, I'd ultimately have to give it to Will Eno's The Flu Season, partly because of the absolute hell I endured in playing the role of Man and also because of how powerful it is as a commentary on human nature (though, be warned if you do decide to delve into it, it isn't all that flattering a portrayal). I am instantly reminded of how long I can go on about this stuff, and want to rant about how difficult yet rewarding it was to put on The Flu Season as a piece of immersive theatre like the stuff that Punchdrunk is known for doing, but that would take aeons, so we'll leave it at a: We're definitely going to end up hanging out and talking about it for hours one day. Oh, and perhaps for the sake of it, have one of the spooky photos we took back then for our production:

In honor of me coming to Final Fantasy XIV for the first time, here's Something New. rBbhdF_Me2U

An aspiring writer and student, perpetually listening to music and awkwardly flopping around. I am someone who comes from expansive years of experience in the realm of roleplay, having indulged in everything from table-top Dungeons and Dragons to leading hardcore RP guilds on World of Warcraft. It can be said that I live, breathe, and sleep storytelling and enjoy the art in all of its facets, the unlimited potential of roleplay in an MMORPG being no exception. It's also of interest to note that I come from a background of heavy involvement in Theatre and once held my own as the Lead Straight Ally of my highschool's Gay Straight Alliance organization. I tend to think of myself as being exceedingly easy to get along with and I always seek to find new ways to continue the wonderful possibilities of interactive narrative. Until recently, I had roleplayed extensively in World of Warcraft for about three years on Moon Guard (US), and though I made many lasting memories and strong bonds that still continue, I feel that after playing the game since its launch and finishing out many of my characters' arcs, it's time for a fresh start somewhere else and perhaps something new entirely. Though I am undoubtedly fresh and quite amiss upon the in-depth lore of Final Fantasy, this being my first encounter with any of the games, I am altogether focused upon absorbing as much information as I can before delving into things too deeply. As such, you'll probably see me asking quite a bit of questions as I make my foray into the lovely community that seems to be centered here. With that said, you remember how I mentioned my perpetual listening to music? There's really nothing like getting to know someone through the music they listen to, so feel free to have this: 5EuG7hxkxPs Until I get myself leveled up and quite well centered in the game-lore, Shine On! ( I'll likely be posting later in this thread once I've got my character all set-up. )
