16- I'm pretty sure it's natural. Keep in mind it's a Japanese game, and anime and game characters often have unusual hair colors without dyes ever being mentioned. Azyria has naturally blue hair and fur for sure.
That said if you want your character to be a natural blonde and use red or black or green dye, I don't see why you couldn't. After all in the real world, people use dyes to imitate natural colors as well as unnatural ones.
17- In cases like these, I go with what the game gives me (like the pearls to communicate with linkshells). If my chocobo would be summoned by use of a whistle, then that's how I call it (chocobos were still not working back when I played o_O). The only thing is since they are natural creatures, I'd say they run to me rather than simply appear like a summoned monster.
18- Depends entirely on your preference. Many prefer to level OOC but others enjoy a bit of RP in the field and see their improvement in battle as part of their IC development. For example, Azyria's IC classes were miner, blacksmith and lancer... often when I worked on any of those, I was IC.
Story Quests however are, by their very nature, OOC. Everyone going through them and living the exact same events would make absolutely no sense IC. o_o
19- What Eva said.
20- Some sort of filet mignon envelopped in bacon with just enough spices, along with some spicy potatoes with dip and some salad, with cider or pure apple juice with a bit of rum (and sugar/cinnamon frosting) to drink and double chocolate cake for dessert. Dammit now I'm hungry. What Eva said. Personally, I avoid RP battles like the plague because of people who ignore class, level and gear completely and RP as the most badass warrior/mage when they are 20 levels below me. That very very rarely happen, to be honest, but it's a huge turnoff to me. On the other end of the spectrum you have the hardcore PvPers who will want to PvP your face into the ground. I honestly prefer the latter, but my ideal situation is a quick RP fight with a trusted RPer.
As for Skype, it will soon replace MSN/Windows Live Messenger, it's pretty simple. If you can install and play a game, you can use that.
Of course you don't have to. ^^:
