WIP...
- Characters: L'cero Nunh, Sani Shyne
- Primary character: L'cero Nunh
- Linkshells: Warden's Reliquary
- Primary RP linkshell: n/a
- Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy):
I’m a heavy RPer, without a doubt. Unless my characters are explicitly questing, killing monsters, or wearing ridiculous looking end-game armor, it can be safely assumed that I’m in RP mode. Really, the primary reason why I’m playing this game is for RP, so anyone is welcome to approach my character or send me a tell if it’s to that end. The more RP the better!
I should also mention that my RP often encompasses the duties of a Game Master, and in addition to RPing my own character I’ll also write out the actions of NPCs and creatures. I’m a very plot driven RPer, so this is just part and parcel to writing full stories for myself and others.
- Views on RP combat and injuries:
I vastly prefer RP combat over mechanical PvP, especially during events, simply for the narrative. Too much is lost in characterization when players are busy spamming command keys.
I’m also a strong supporter of RP injuries, and will find a way to avoid the magic win button for wounds that can contribute in some meaningful way to development. Minor bumps and burns, however, will only survive until the next Cure spell. Hydaelyn is a world of high magic, after all.
- Views on IC romance:
Romance might be my single most favorite type of RP development, but I’m extremely picky. It can’t feel forced for a moment, nor planned out OOC. Budding emotions need to be something that naturally happens between the two characters with real chemistry, independent of the players’ expectations. If the RPers in question aren’t surprised by what their characters are doing, then they’re doing it wrong.
- Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc):
Like all other elements of RP, I’m a big supporter of this as well. Though, with my current character this would be extremely difficult to pull off with in terms of blood relations. But there’s no reason that characters couldn’t get close enough to him to be considered adopted. In the past I’ve found that these IC relationships can be every bit as defining as personal or romantic development. Besides, everyone needs a good bro.
- Views on lore:
I’m a stickler for lore, though I’m guilty of bending it from time to time with this particular game. It’s probably due to FFXIV’s flexibility. There just isn’t that much canon floating around, and what is out there isn’t carved in stone like other MMOs we all know. I’ll always do my best to remain true to the lore as established by the game’s main campaign, side quests, and leves. I’m hesitant to make assumptions about how user functions fit into the setting itself (i.e. Aetheryte teleportation isn’t actually supported by the storyline.) I’m also always a little wary of RPers who take advantage of the more extreme aspects of the lore, such as representing their characters as primals. But to each their own, we’re all here to have fun.
- Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc):
I’ll almost exclusively RP in /say and /em, and reserve OOC for /tell. /party chat can be versatile, because depending on what I’m doing at any given time, it’ll be used for OOC amongst a small group or to RP out an event that I don’t want interrupted or subject to text spams.
