I've been lurking occasionally on this website since before FFXIV:ARR's release. I kind of did my own thing when the game came out, did more occassional private RP... mostly just played the game itself.
As a RPer, and as a person in general, I've been finding myself a more introverted individual as the years go by. I haven't really been able to inch into a community properly, if at all since my WoW years... and really only then between Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King.
I've grown to find RPing, what I used to love to do more than anything in a game... terrifying. Terrifying especially in these newer games because of communities that seem to be so caught up and up to date with the textbooks worth of lore and facts, that if you get one or two things wrong, or make a character that isn't completely "right", your foot is lopped off and thrust down your throat... And forget being invited to exclusive RP events!
So... I've been lurking here off and on, and even peeked into one or two Balmung server events. Ended up sticking to people I knew, though... like glue.
I am posting this here today to hopefully chip away at that wall! I've just joined a new guild yesterday, with all this new content and such.
This is my character Amelia, whom I haven't known for very long (as she's a brand new, non-recycled character for me) but I hope that you like her!
Yes, she's another "noble-type" character.
Yes, she now has the Lightening hairstyle that everybody else has.
And yes, I'm terrified of RPing with you because I'll probably say something wrong because as life goes on, I have less and less time to keep up with lore... and I'll probably make an ass of myself.
-squeals as her security blanket of lurking is ripped from her fingertips- (Nuuuuuu... my comfort zone!!)
