Typically speaking I spend most of my time crafting and raiding. However due to time restraints raiding has become extremely difficult. So I was hoping to branch out into a bit of role playing.

So I consider myself for the most part a pretty creative individual. I have always enjoyed writing, art, stories etc. However I have severe ADHD and mild dyslexia so doing open role playing is something I have been very self conscious about. As I tend to leave words out of sentences. >.<Â When writing something it requires me to go back and do heavy heavy proofreading into order to fix the errors. Anyways I have decided to break out of my shell and really get into it.

Currently I am working on a story involving multiple characters that I created a long time ago. I will mostly be using my role play character as a center focus for my story. However I am wanting to get her into the world of Eorzea. Meet some people make some interactions and help use some of my experiences along the way to influence her story past the back setting.

Now I have been to some local bars and have been watching general surface interactions. That I feel pretty comfortable with. Its more the story written content that is done within linkshells and Free Companies that I have zero experience in. From the approach, the way its handled, how its even started up. Just so many questions...

I was hoping for perhaps someone seasoned that I could perhaps shadow or spend some time speaking to in discord etc that will help give me a bit of info on how the more "heavy" role play is done with in a MMO.

*Really hope I placed this in the correct place O.o If not super sorry.*
Anyways thank you for all those willing to help.

Heavy RP typically means staying IC most of the time, rarely going into OOC chat, and having long-term continuity in your character's life story. It's also behaving like a real person; i.e. walking instead of running when you're IC and responding to strangers approaching you IC.

That being said, given your background, you don't necessarily have to push yourself into ingame RP straightaway if you don't feel sure of yourself with the quick moment-to-moment improv it demands. Find yourself a partner or group that you can write stories with, do comfy forum posts and threads with, and you can ease yourself into it that way

[Mateus] New to RPing would like some help :)
