Oh, right, of course. Â I had no plans to involve the DRG Quest Line from the game in my character's backstory. Â I just inserted those comments into my post because they struck me as amusing when I was actually doing them. Â Probably the timing and manner that I handled that on my playthrough made it seem weirder to me though. Â Did a lot of FATE grinding so I was a DRG quite a while before the Coerthas/Ishgard portion of the storyline actually came up, so it seemed like Ser Alberic had a week or more to go around being all "Hey guys, I think I found the next Azure Dragoon?" to his buddies in the Holy See and spread inside rumors of my arrival.
Alternately, anytime somebody referred to my character as an Unbeliever/Heretic Scum, I kept hoping that there was something I could do to prove my status as the most legendary dragoon ever ever ever ever? Â Like those scenes in Super Mario RPG where everybody doubts that Mario is Mario, then he like... jumps. Â "LOOK AT THAT JUMP, THAT'S GOTTA BE MARIO. Â OH MAN." Â That kinda thing.
... Maybe I'm a weirdo.
Gonna be a normal rank and file Dragoon though, just a former member of the Ishgardian forces. Â Maybe a skilled one.
I know nothing about crafting OR gathering in game so I'll probably not worry about those classes but I am also an adherent to the idea that it's best to limit one's character's skills when RPing just for believability/amusement. Â Would be true to my character's setup in game to be a DRG/WAR or something, also true to his possible Ishgardian-Turned-Adventurer/Mercenary backstory. Â I guess the actual Armoury system is kind of ignored in an RP though? Â Like... "Suddenly, all this armor appears on me and I pull an axe from my hammerspace." Â It's generally accepted that a person has to walk away and change into a different armor set/grab a new weapon rather than it happening magically?
