Well, that is certainly one thread I could butt in.
I keep asking myself. Is it is obvious that Lucaell's "name" is... not her real name? Being a new player and all, I am often wondering what people think of me when they see my RPer tag in my priv info IG. After reading my wiki entry, it should all be clear (and the reason is sillier than it sounds), but do people do that?
I also do wonder if Lucile Townsend is not too modern for an FFXIV's midlander. Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but there are times I do not really feel like what I'm doing is "correct". But in the end, what really matters is the RP* experience I'm willing to provide to the people meeting me, and the people willing to meet me. These are details not worth stressing over after some time (but I somehow still do even after RPing with fairly nice people from the forum this evening).
No matter what kind of RP you do, people will always eventually RP with you, at least a little. Especially if your name isn't "Ducky McLaine", see what I mean?
There's an incredibly wide variety of names outside lore conventions on the wiki, and from what I've seen... These people do RP!
It has already been said, but giving a shot to all RPers dropping by is, in my opinion, the best thing to do. I always check up chars on the wiki when I get aggro'd in game, so hopefully I get to know who I am dealing with. In return, I secretly hope they get to do the same with me.
TL;DR: Ryanto, Nara'to, your characters look fantastic and well-written, don't let weeaboos and nit-picky jerks ruin your whole roleplay experience. There's a difference between playing half-breeds, having an in-lore username resembling some kind of shounen hero's and actually playing a custom primal mastering ninjutsu trapped in a Lalafell-Elezen half breed's body named "Ifritcool Rakakukotsukishi".
This, really.

Can the name you give your character be the basis for whether others will roleplay with you or not?Â
I'm going to answer your question with a question.
Which do you think sounds more appealing, "Warren Castille", or "Tanky Awesomeknight?"
This, really.
