Hello everyone. Â I have just decided to try out FFXIV. Â I haven't actually bought the game yet but I will tomorrow after some much needed sleep. Â Right after I decided that I would buy it, the first thing I did was research the RP options, so here I am. Â Although I love RPing in MMOs, I am terrible at finding people to RP with which tends to cause a loss of interest in that game. Â I am hoping it will be different this time as I join you guys here.
MMORPG background
My first MMO was way back, starting with Anarchy Online. Â Here's a list of MMOs that I spent at least a month playing.
My first RP experience was in FFXI when one a new party member in my grinding group started RPing in between mob pulls. Â I thought it was fun and went along with it. Â Awhile later, in WoW, I met an RPer again who I joined for fun and eventually joined their RP guild. Â It was a short lived guild, but ever since, any MMO I play I try to get into RP servers and find a guild, as long as they aren't too heavy.
Character ideas/info
I have 3 main character templates I use in every game, plus a few side characters, depending on classes available in each game. Â I will be creating one or all three of these characters once I begin playing.

--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
I want to consider myself a medium RPer although sometimes it tends to be light. Â For example, when I am out in the world questing, that is questing time. Â I only RP if RPed to first. Â However, when not questing, I devote plenty of time looking around for RPers(most of the time unsuccessfully) to RP with. Â I'm generally too shy to initiate RP, but if somebody else initiates, then I'm golden.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing?
I am male IRL but I almost exclusively play/RP female characters in every game that gives me a choice. Â This includes single player games, (Skyrim, Mass Effect, Pokemon, etc.) and non-MMOs (Diablo III, Minecraft, Saints Row, etc.)

- Riuka: Goth/Emo styled rogue/assassin/mercenary. Â Pretty quiet and selfish/greedy.
- Surora: Tough, Iron willed Warrior-ish class. Â Strives to be the top of her game and beat her rivals in all things.
- Zyleria: Lawful evil, fire-based mage/sorceress. Â Has an almost uncontrollable lust for political power.
