Wow, this this this! This was idea in creating this thread. It is really a place to say hey, this is Final Fantasy. We have a rich history to draw on here to help create from!
It was not easy for me at first during 1.0 coming on here and saying I was going to play a samurai. However, as the community has grown, there have been people here that have come into the fold who have been very welcoming of the ideas of looking into the history of Final Fantasy and traditional RP character styles for aid in fleshing out their characters.
I made this thread to help show that you are welcome here and you do have a place! There is more to fostering a good community then just saying 'welcome to the RPC, choose a server and jump in!'
As far as going down the Mime path....YES! It would be one of the coolest things to RP play in game. That is to use the game to actually RP it like a Mime in game. There are many ways to pull it off, and there are many people here smarter then me to come up with the best ways to do it!
It is just like playing samurai for me. Yeah, I am giving up the shield and going only sword as gladiator until the actual job gets in game. I know that gets me bumped off the end game list for just about any raiding party, but hey, this is a game. I give it up willing because RP is the what I love the most.Â
That being said, nothing wrong with someone else who wants to pick up the shield and play as a samurai too. If it makes you happy and is not hurting anyone else, do it.Â
I would love to hear you ideas for how to tackle Mime!

Let's be honest, we need a BAD GUY. Yes, the idea has been discussed. Yes you would alienate yourself from a lot of the population. Some of us, myself included, have played the role and know how rewarding it can be when 70% + of a server hates you for good reasons. It's hard to be bad, but it is fun. This is Final Fantasy. That means great stories. Yes, we have the Empire. We need a PC villain to get that extra RP mile out of the experience. No, you don't have to kill us, disfigure us, or always win or loose. It can work, if some of us (which is why I am asking here), work to make it work!
Does 70% of the server hate you or your character? Â Or not distinguish between the two?
Waaaay back when I did Dragonriders of Pern play-by-email RP, I loved playing villains and annoying characters, but a lot of other players had trouble distinguishing OCC and IC and took it personal when my character was an asshole. Â Â Does that happen in MMO RPG?

In a word.......yes. I did it, and many have probs being different to you ooc and icc. Also, not everyone icc will recognize you as some great, semi-powerful villain. Just like in choosing a linkshell, it is best to find a group of people to see you as a icc bad dude and not the same ooc. Also, they will help build up your rep as a villain by RPing you as someone who is not a nice person and not to be messed with.
It is all about finding the right group if you want to go down this path. I encourage you to do it if it is what you want to do and to seek the people who will allow you to be what you desire to be here to maximize your experience as your character!
