Hello all! I found the RPC through a Reddit post describing how to get started role-playing in Final Fantasy XIV. I'm excited to have found this community as I've been interested in RPing for some time now. I have not RP'd anywhere before. I've been researching how to get into it, how to conduct myself, and how to get the best out of the experience. And, even though I'm shy with strangers at first (OOC, specifically), I know I have to jump right in to get started. First, a not-so-brief history of my MMO journey, starting with Final Fantasy XI. My primary job(s) were WHM and BLM. I would normally party up as BLM, leveraging WHM as a primary source of income selling teleports. My character was a female Tarutaru, and it would be the last time I ever played a TaruTaru-like character; I may be slightly prejudiced against Lalafels IC, I'm working on it. When I started playing WoW, I fell heavy into tanking and healing. I played a Priest on and off but stuck mostly to my male Blood Elf Paladin. WoW is where I last played a male character, finding that I was drawn more to female characters in MMOs and role-playing games in general (when given the option). I then spent a lot of time in RIFT, eventually finding a progression raiding guild where I would main and off-tank for my primary DKP, healing in whatever spare time I could find. Life had eventually lead me to TERA. In TERA, I primarily healed as the Mystic class was quite challenging which drew me in immediately. I lied, I played an Elin in TERA as one of my characters. However, I see Elin-type characters vastly different than TaruTaru/Lalafel types. Ask me why and I hope I can make it make sense to you. Fast forward through some terrible decisions like Conan, KOTOR, revisiting both WoW and RIFT, I eventually found FFXIV. Now, I originally played in Beta and don’t remember a thing about it. It wasn’t until a few years later when Heavensward was released that I returned to an all-new game. I had played on and off since then, most recently returning for what I hope to be the long-hull. I moved my way through Stormboold as a BLM which was fun but ended up reaching end-game content as a Paladin. Though I have zero role-playing experience, a specific series of events lead me here. Upon reaching Shadowbringers, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to experience the content as a new entity. I originally transformed my character into a Viera, though for reasons known only to me, I very quickly transformed back to a Miqo’te. It was this final transformation that I seemingly fell in love with my character. She’s perfect. I can’t put my finger on it, but everything about her is perfect to me. She inspired me to begin drawing; I have been drawing consistently for weeks now. She brings out a whole different side of me when I play. This then lead me to discover that I want to be her in the game and breathe life into her soul. I have recently re-named her to a more suitable moniker: M’crises Rahz. I have crafted a background for her and have noted her personality traits as well. I have even started recording her military history, though this part takes some time to get places and events just right. Once I have confidence in her overall being, I would be happy to share it with you all! If you’re still reading along with me at this point, I thank you. I don’t know how heavy I want to participate in RP yet, but I am looking for a Free Company that is welcoming and inviting of the lifestyle, judgment-free. Thank you for allowing me to say a little about myself and I hope to meet many of you as I move along in my journey! -Crises

Hiya~ Name's Strongth, Nice to meet you all! Edit: I ended up transfering to Mateus, so I'm not going to be avaliable in Chaos server In case anybody read this and was thinking of contacting me. I'd still love to have someone to touch base with or a FC or something so I'll appreciate any advice or support I could get going forward happily. I'm always willing to learn. Anybody on the Chaos datacentre (or elsewhere, if I decide to transfer to NA) who is willing to take a newbie and show them the ropes I would be thrilled. I'm tentatively excited about starting to RP, I love storytelling a lot and I've done a little research about how I should go about it, but there are still a couple notes bothering me; Most importantly of these problems being my character's lore. Unfortunately I can't really talk about the problem unless I've explained the chara, so here goes. I've grown very attached to my characters named Strongth for a long time, since much earlier, to the point that I have made 16 of them in various games to date and this being my 14th strongth named Strongth (the) Xiv(th) (yes this is a coincidence). The problem in question being the Strongth family tree dates back to other game worlds like that of monster hunter, bloodborne (just to name a couple) and the family have a habit of falling into interdimensional portals so to speak, and ending up stranded in different places. Is this going to be a big deal in terms of clashing with FFXIV lore-friendlyness? My headcanon is pretty lame, but it's become something important to me, if I have to compromise the character lore too much I think a little part of me would die inside... I'm keen to hear any of your thoughts or advice. Cheers and have a wonderful day!

MMORPG experience: Played MMO since Final Fantasy XI, better that and XIX I played Aion, Lineage II, Rose Online, Mobingi, Tera, and playing Blade and Soul for a half second. RP experience: Other then DM a few TTRPGs, none Idea/Info: Vilsaint was friends with a guy who goes on a successful adventure, writing letters from home. In fact the red streak was because of an alchemy accident said friend had before. Eventually his goes off to adventure on his on. But he has no idea how to make friends and talk to people. So his idea is try to create a talk show. To not only make friends but so others in his situation can introduce themselves. Found out about this from typing “FFXIV Roleplay” What kind of role player I’m aiming to be: Light/Medium off camera Medium/Heavy on camera Just ask if you want to know about me. Needless to say some topics are off limits but I I don’t mind you asking Discord Marshall #8764 or just say hi to me sometime, I like to stop be the Quicksand on Balmung sometimes

Hello, I'm not 100% sure how a really proper introduction goes but I'm giving this a shot. I'm God Snack and don't mind being called Snack or Red. This is my first time trying to do something like this but I really want it to work. Since starting FFXIV i've loved the lore and the world and my dumb character that gets to run around and just mess it all up. I'm hoping I can make good friends here and find new rp partners for my latest obsession, also really hoping I make too much of a fool of myself. My first MMORPG was Tera and while I do still enjoy the game FFXIV has taken a big art of my life and time, I've not played any other Final Fantasy game up until now and since getting XIV i've started trying Zodiac Age since that just came out I've been solo 1 on 1 rp's and large group based ones for almost 10 years now and will admit I have a lot more comfort in 1 on 1. I will admit I would prefer to rp off game and on a website like this or better through discord but I would not cmpletely turn down an rp over that My main Character that I've semi worked up a bckstory for is Apollo Brynhildr, a Astrologian who can't help but fight like a front line DPS idiot and loves to just mess up a Primal for fun in his off hours (I think I've fantasia'd him like 3 times already and right now his in game body is a female au'ra because Vierra will be female only and when I spend money on costume and cosmetics I'd rather 'he' already be able to wear them. No matter his in game look he will always be male though, since the creators have confirmed there ARE male vierra, they just will not be showing up in any scenes) Not gonna lie, I pretty much googled FFXIC oc template and it blessedly led me to this site, I really hope this works for me and I can make new connections and friends I am a medium to heavy roleplayer, at most given times I have 2-3 rp's continuing on daily, mainly in discord since group sights have kind of made me nervous, I will r anything from light fluff to heavy smut and violence but if it involves a pairing it's always 100% Homosexual, i'm sorry if that bothers anyone in any way In my real life I am going on 26, I don't want to hide my age and have it be a surprise for younger rpers, I work at a local gas station in the morning hours so from 6 am to 3-4 i'm offline and cannot respond. I tend to be online every night unless im on a trip out of town or spending the night out, i do try to give my rp partners heads up for this so they don't think i'm flaking I'm not sure what else to put, feel free to respond here or anything, I would love some feedback and suggestions for getting started. I am part of a free company already and do not plan to join any new ones Also my refs of my main character will be slightly older screenshots of when he was an Elezen and as of right now that is his base look until the vierra are playable and I can officially edit some things, for the most part his traits are always, tan, pinkish hair, gold/ember eyes, facial scars. I do like to draw so even with his in game look coming up to a change I'll make a fully official pic of him soon My discord is God-Snack #8544 feel free to add me but please let me know your user name and that you are adding me from this site

Hello, I need your help/advice/anything you can offer. I’m going to give the tl;dr version of my situation first and go into more detail afterwards. Tl;dr: The gist of my situation is I am jealous of my RP partner because she’s roleplaying with someone else and I am now being mostly ignored. It makes me feel terrible and I don’t know how to stop feeling like this. My question is: how can i deal with this? Long version: Backtrack 6 months ago, i’m a normal player who barely dabbled in RP at a few D&D sessions. I’m a gamer through and through and that’s been my only past time for all my years. So I’m playing with 2 of my friends (these two are actually engaged to eachother IRL and are also my friends in IRL) and they decide at some point to change their character’s race. I thought i could join them in the fun since i’ve always played a male character in my games. So i went ahead and genderbent my character. Things were alright and we had fun together. Then one day one of these friends is attracted to my female character and starts flirting IC with her. It was awkward at first but i rolled with it and eventually i came to enjoy it. That was my first time RPing online. I've never done it before. We spent the past 6 months roleplaying our characters (4 to be exact) into a family together and we decided to marry 2 of them. We have everything ready for the wedding too we just need to set the date. We’ve always been talking during this period about our characters and what funny and sweet scenes we could put them through even outside of the game via Discord. She always called my toon "M'lady" and was very sweet the entire time we RPed. Sometime during these 6 months she discovered a roleplay server she liked and created a character there. Let’s call the server we’ve been on until now A and the roleplay server B. I joined her. Everything was fine until a bit over two weeks ago. When she stopped logging onto the A server and stopped replying even to our RP concerning the B server toons. I thought i should be polite and not pester her for an answer so i waited a week. Still nothing so i remind her. She brushes it off by telling me she’s busy. I knew she was RPing with the peeps on the B server which is fine because i’m not looking to be the only person she roleplays with. However after 6 months of investment into both our characters on A server i was expecting it would continue as it had until then. I keep getting hints that she’s distracted or that she’s not interested by her either giving me “bleh” replies, one liners, replying late or not replying at all. No more calling eachother wife or husband or lover or "M'lady" as we used to. No more of her toon dutifully offering me to get on the 2 seated chocobo mount. No more of her telling me that her heart can’t handle the cuteness of our characters as she used to. She’s got a sweetheart on the B server now and even though we had decided our characters would be together even there (in an open relationship) she pushed my character away to be with that person only. She says it’s because i’m not online on B server as much that this happened. Alright, fine. I can understand that. Even though i hated it, I RPed a very dramatic breakup scene with her thinking we still had our RP on A server. I came to her with a scene to RP for those characters. She told me she didn’t want to RP that scene. Alright. Then i asked her about the wedding we were supposed to have and if she still wants it. She said yes, but when i asked about when to set the date she told me she can’t talk now because she was RPing with someone else. Note that this has never stopped her before. I ask her once again the next day and she just says she doesn’t know and shows little to no signs of wanting us to decide together. Today, just a bit earlier from me writting this we went to the Chapel to set up the date for the marriage. Whenever we planned for the wedding she was always there at the Aetheryte waiting for me with the 2-seated mount. And I do mean always. This time she just dashed off by herself without even looking back. At one point i asked her if she was still interested in me as an RP partner. She said yes, but all the signs i’m reading from her state the exact opposite... ghosting, disinterest, bleh replies. I’ve confronted her about this before and she always says i’m fine but i think she only says this out of pity or something and I'm scared of confronting her again for fear that she'll get annoyed with me. I'm actually reaching a point where I'm starting to believe that everything I try to do whether IC or OOC is annoying to her. And so I come to my conclusion. I don’t know what to do... These past 2 weeks and a half i’ve been severely depressed because of it. I go to bed sad, i wake up sad and i can barely hold my tears in while at work. It's affected me so much that my parents, my sister, my coworkers and people on the street ask me why I'm sad although I try not to show it. I don’t know how to confront her about it without seeming like i’m pestering her because i still cherish her as a friend IRL and i don’t want to ruin that. At this point I just wish she would call it off if she’s just not interested anymore rather then stringing me along getting my hopes up for nothing. It will hurt a lot but at least it’ll give me the opportunity to get over it and heal rather than keep suffering. I’ve been reading many articles about this subject lately so I can learn about how to deal with this and try to not be the clingy guy or the annoying guy but at this point i just don’t know what to do. She can roleplay with whomever she wants as much as she wants. I won’t stop her. I just want to stop feeling like this. I just want it to stop hurting and i want to stop being a crying mess almost every day. What can I do to fix this? How should I go about solving our RP? Can it even be saved? How do I get her to be honest to me about it? Sorry for the long post, but i’m just lost... Thank you for your time.
