♦ I am an older gamer (40+) who is looking for other sensible adult gamers aged 21 and up for roleplay and PVE shenanigans. No offense to the younger crowd, I just like to surround myself with like-minded folks at a similar stage of life that understand that Real Life, Responsibility, and Family come first. I have a lot of things IRL that require my time and attention outside of gaming, so I can't always be here as much as I'd like. ♦ I have a long history with long-format roleplay via forums, which means that I love to write in-depth scenes and experiences. I say this only as a reassurance that I'm in this for the Long Haul and that I want my character to be part of deep, moving experiences that span weeks, months, even years with the right writing partners. Preferences Boundaries ♦ Late Night Players I have Daytime 8-5 folks aplenty, what I'm really looking for these days are fellow late-nighters/overnight folk to while away the hours with after midnight. ♦ In-Game Roleplay & Say/Emote While I'm skilled in many different formats of RP, my preferred medium is FFXIV itself. Discord and other formats will only be considered after established rapport and dedication. When in-game, I prefer to roleplay in the public /say and /emote channels to provide others the opportunity to interact and engage. ♦ Long-form RP & English Fluency I prefer longer posts / multiple paragraphs. I don't spellcheck and I don't grammar check, but I do ask that you have a comprehendible English fluency. I've seen enough badly Google-translated RP to know that I don't enjoy it and find its formatting jarring. ♦ Communicative, Friendly, and Engaging Partners I enjoy being friends with my writing partners as much as I do writing with them. I like for them to be able to communicate with me on an OOC level and be comfortable doing so. Send me silly cat pics or goofy FFXIV memes, tell me about your day if you're comfortable with that. ♦ No Mature Content Without Prior Consent I'm generally fine with most themes, but please ask me before pursuing certain scenes, particularly extreme violence, gore, torture, sexuality or maudlin. There are some days I can write for these themes and others when I can't. I ask for your understanding and consideration. Under NO circumstance will I ever be okay with roleplaying scenes of rape or suicide. Do not ask and do not attempt. ♦ Standard RP Riders No metagaming. No godmoding. No IC/OOC blending. ♦ No OOC Relationship Seekers I am happily married IRL. Friendship is my limit. Look for anything more with me and I'll happily add you to my blacklist. Any questions or concerns? Please don't hesitate to ask! This may make me sound kind of scary, but I'm just a person who knows her own expectations and wants to make them clear up-front. Feel free to contact me to set up something OOC! Discord: casualcatte#1384 ♦ http://www.casualcatte.com In-Game: Katja Armitanis@Mateus

Notable Affiliations These can be used as points of contact. Ul'dahninan Roots Natives of Ul'dah are welcome to know Gospel, either by name or simply by reputation. She is a known free paladin adventurer that offers her services as a caravan guard, a defender of the smallfolk. Common adventurers are welcome to have seen her in passing, coming and going from the Adventurer's Guild or talking and turning in various contracts with Momodi. Merchant's Daughter The Lightfaith family name is commonly attached to a small arms and armor merchant whose emblem is a radiant sun. Buyers and purveyors of arms and armor are also welcome to know Gospel through her merchant family. Until she came of age, the silver-haired, well-mannered young woman travelled with them frequently as they travelled Eorzea to peddle their wares. Maelstrom Captain Members of the Maelstrom, both current and former, are welcome to know Gospel from her time in service. A long-standing member of the crew of "The Silverwing" she worked her way through the ranks to become Captain Esmerelda Harlock's First Mate. She was in line to succeed her Captain and take over the captaincy of "The Silverwing" but Gospel retired to return home to Ul'dah, much to the Admiral's ire (and admiration.) "The Silverwing's" greatest claim-to-fame is the daring rescue of "The Tiderunner", a privateer blockade runner that ran afoul of the Garleans. The privateer vessel was on its last legs, turning to make a last desperate charge for the mid-ship of the Garlean battleship. However, "The Silverwing" swooped in at the last moment, a bombardment from their broadside cannons drawing the Garleans away from "The Tiderunner" so the merchant ship could make a limping escape to safe harbors. "The Silverwing" and Captain Esmerelda, along with her First Mate and her crew, were known to be sent regularly on Missions of Mercy, carrying troops to beleagured areas, ferrying refugees to safety, and delivering relief aid to coastal villages that needed it. Gospel served as both Strategist and Tactician for the vessel, as well as a Diplomat when needed. What I'm Looking For... Mostly just friendly folks, age 21+ to Roleplay with, because I'm a 40-year old player that prefers to play alongside other adults. I'm not particular as to character race or background, though their interactions with Gospel and how she reacts to them will ultimately determine their fate. I'm wholly an "organic" roleplayer; I've never liked the idea of scripted relationships or allegiances, rather letting them grow as they will based on what happens in roleplay. Long-term, short-term, I'm perfectly content with whatever time a person has to donate. I'm more than happy to play a bit part in plots and personal stories. ♦ Long-term or short-term contacts, friends, and connections. ♦ Night owls and late-night players. Preferably age 21+, but 40+ crowd a bonus! ♦ Strong OOC Communication. I believe the best RP is between people who communicate OOC regularly. ♦ Para/Multi-Para Roleplayers. I prefer immersive experiences and writers, one-liners don't provide that. What I'm NOT Looking For... ♦ I'm not looking for drama or people who can't keep Characters separate from Players. What happens in roleplay is just roleplay; it has no regard or reflection on you or me as people behind the keyboard. Please, keep that in mind. ♦ Exclusivity; I don't expect to be attached at the hip to anyone. I enjoy playing the game on my own at times, as well as being a social butterfly. ♦ People who cannot respect boundaries. If I stop a scene for any reason, I expect that to be the end of it with no hard feelings. If you have a problem with that OOC, then we have no business roleplaying together. These are all deal-breakers. I don't have the time or energy these days to cope with people that can't respect these very simple rules. I am OKAY with... ♦ In-character Conflict. Again, see the IC=/=OOC caveat. Just because my character doesn't like or get along with yours doesn't mean I dislike you on a personal level. If at any point you feel like something is crossing the line, you're both welcome and expected to talk to me OOC to clarify and I will be more than happy to talk it over with you. ♦ In-character Dungeons/Questing. I thoroughly enjoy mixing PVE and RP! I like using all of the world instead of just the city or specific taverns. ♦ Romantic Connections. I'm perfectly fine with romancing my character, but I only engage in it through organic roleplay and extensive time-investment. Slow burn romances are my jam. I don't conjure relationships out of thin air and I don't do "love at first sight" or one-night stands. Character development is key. I'm NOT OKAY with... ♦ Roll-based Combat. I find it boring. I'm sorry! That's just how I feel. If I want to play roll-based combat, that's what my D&D nights are for. ♦ Mature Content. This includes, but is not limited to: excessive gore, violence, sexuality, maudlin, or horror. I may be older in age, but Mature themes are something I prefer to opt-in to once I know what's going on. There are some subjects and scenes I do NOT want to engage in. Player Availability From Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, I'm usually online from 8pm (Eastern) until whenever I decide to log out for the night. The latter half of the week, I tend to do Real Lifey things (D&D and Hubby Date Night, woo!) so I can be pretty hit-or-miss since things come up spontaneously. I have several auto-immune conditions that require careful management, so anyone who plays alongside me has to be understanding. I may need to reschedule a scene or duck out of one early as my pain requires. I will do my best to communicate as much and as early as possible so I don't waste anyone's time, but Life being what it is -- sometimes you just can't.

Aultena Sephimiri Balmung :: Crystal Aultena is a fiesty Keeper of the Moon miqo’te born and raised in the hunter-town of Tailfeather. She’s only begun her life as an adventurer, so the world is still a wonderful and terrifying place in turns. Her skill with a bow, along with hunting, tracking, and surviving in the wild are exceptional, but she has little to no skill with magic. She loves to play the guitar in the evenings to wind down and loves to cook. What I Am Looking For ––– ♦ Friends, acquaintances, and adventuring buddies! ♦ People who like growing things organically, particularly relationships. I don’t like making things up out of thin air and I don’t like romances that flourish overnight. Put time and effort into creating things! ♦ In-game, Discord, even Google Docs RP (All are acceptable!) ♦ Lore flexibility. I’m not as well-versed in FFXIV lore and I don’t need/want people around me who want to hammer the Nth of the lore and make roleplay feel more like homework. As long as it’s a good story and an engaging character, that should be enough! ♦ Late Night/Overnight Friends. I tend to keep late hours, so people who are around/available between 8pm and 8am (Central US Time) are ideal. Hooks --- ☼ You need something hunted. Aultena is a trained huntress out of Tailfeather and the daughter of a pair of successful Huntmasters. She has had years of training since childhood on how to survive and track in the wild. ☼ You need something gathered. Along with her hunting skills, she's also good with foraging, both from plants and animals. Along with this, she's also taken up mining to make the most of her outdoor forays. ☼ You are/were a Tailfeather Resident. Aultena and her godfather, Sillesti, are well-known in the small community of Tailfeather. Other residents of the township are welcome to know Aultena and anything written herein. ☼ You are/were an Ishgard Resident. Aultena frequented the markets at the Jeweled Crozier as well as the stable yard in Ishgard, selling caught chocobos, animal pelts, various plants and the like. You are welcome to know her personally or obliquely through market hearsay. What I Am NOT Looking For ––– ♦ Drama. If you’re a person that can’t keep your IC and OOC separate, don’t seek me out. ♦ ERP, gore, extreme violence, torture, horror, et cetera. I have a pretty stressful life, I RP and play games to relax and these topics don’t contribute to that. ♦ Roll-based systems. If I wanted to play D&D, I have plenty of other venues for that. About Me ––– ♦ I’ve been roleplaying for almost 30 years now. I love discussing roleplay ideas and implementing them. I’m not worried about “spoilers” or ruining immersion by discussing and planning storylines OOC. Planning ensures that everyone has a chance to contribute ideas that are fun for *them* so everyone has a good experience. ♦ I tend to be patient with people of all roleplay styles and experiences. Just be courteous if you need to AFK mid-RP for an extended period or reschedule the scene. ♦ I am a 40+ year old woman with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. This means I may need to cancel plans last-minute depending on my pain levels/fatigue or I may need to leave mid-scene. This is NOT an indicator of interest – or lack thereof – I have a disease that needs careful tending and I have to listen to the needs of my body before anything else. Availability ––– Timezone: GMT/UTC -5 or Central (US) Time. I’m mostly available from 8pm to 8am, Sunday through Tuesday. Beyond that, my schedule gets pretty unpredictable and difficult to manage. But if I schedule to do something with you, I will follow through to the best of my ability! Discord: I almost always have Discord on in some form or fashion. If I don’t answer directly, then I’ll answer as soon as I’m able!

Name: Higura Gainishigi Race: Miqo'te - Seeker of the Sun Gender: Female Server: Balmung Availability ingame: 8 AM to 1 PM CST; Thursday through Monday -- 9 PM to 10 AM CST on Monday Night / Tuesday Night Availability on Discord: 10 PM to 1 PM CST most every day. Discord: Higura#1869 RP Carrd: https://higgie.carrd.co/ Longtime player and RPer, here. Took a lengthy break from the game for about a year and a half due to real life issues. These issues persist, namely with my profession IRL; and I am currently stuck on grave shift until the pandemic ends. So my availability period is more or less during the least active hours of the game, and it's been near impossible to meet anyone in-game or who even share my hours. Maybe people in Europe or Australia may be more available, but I'm not sure. My Miqo'te, Higura, is the only character I have time for. She's an ex-Garlean Magitek Engineer and was/is the owner of a University with a manor. She's big into education and general bookworm nerd stuff and is probably the Eorzean equivalent of a Weeaboo, going crazy over all things Othardian. She's an unwilling soldier / assassin for the Alliance, currently. I have no real RP preferences, but I write more comfortably in a paragraph style. Action, combat, romance, whatever. I'm usually comfortable with anything, just please ask if you are curious. I've never been good at writing these! So um, please look at my Carrd for the character, or feel free to DM me here or on discord or feel free to reply to the thread. Thank you.

Sumi Rokuyari || Mateus || Crystal sumirokuyari.carrd.co Sumi (Full Name: Sumire Rokuyari ) is a Raen Au Ra Lancer who's also a ex garlean solidier. She was conscripted as a little girl and is now looking to make a life for herself that's free from Garlean Influence. She's learning how to grow as a person, despite her rough beginnings having grown up entirely underneath Garlean Influence and is wanting to explore the world as much as she can while forming connections and redeeming herself to a degree for the horrors she committed during her time in the Garlean Army. What I'm Looking for - People to rp with and who are patient with me as I'm rather new to rping in a mmo! People who are willing to communicate outside of just in character in order to form friendships together as it's much easier to rp when you have a rapport between writers going on. Late Night Friends! I tend to be on in the afternoon, to the early morning at times and want to be able to write more at night because it's when I tend to be more awake. In-Game, Discord or even Email RP. I'm flexible. A FC (eventually.) RP Hooks - Lancer: Sumire is a very skilled lancer, having trained as a little girl in order to fill the role that her captors had selected for her. She's rather skilled at ranged combat and thus, if you need a bodyguard or a protector. She's your girl. Spy: She's rather adept at gathering information as due to her size, people are less likely to notice her and well, she took a few levels in rogue Taverns: Sumire is an frequent drinker and can be found frequenting them as she enjoys the atmosphere as well as drinking men under the table when she gets the chance too. It's her favorite past time. Kugane: Sumi now lives in Kugane with her brother and can easily be found roaming the streets if she is in the city. Cook: One of her hobbies and passions besides reading badly written romance novels. Chances are if you can provide her a recipe, she's more than willing to try and make it for you—though she's more adept at making spicy food and her own vodka. What I'm not looking for- Drama

Quiet, almost breathless humming eased through the quiet of the library accentuated every few heartbeats by the slither and tock of a book being slid home into its place on the shelves. Upon investigation, the source of the sounds was a viera of indeterminate age, but the vivaciousness in her movements and her countenance made her appear young and eager. Large, sky blue eyes scanned the shelves with a quick, knowledgeable air before making a small “aha!” sound and sliding another book home into its place on the shelf. Several books needing to be returned home sat on the table behind her. Long, honey blond hair framed her face, one hand sweeping it absently back as she picked up another book. However, as she did so, she took notice of the new arrival and gave a bright smile. “Oh, well, hello there! Is there something in particular I can help you with?” Without waiting for an answer, she pirouetted with such fluid agility that bespoke of, perhaps, a previous life as a dancer. Another book slid home on the shelves as she awaited an answer. Picking up another book, she held it in her hands as she once again looked at the visitor with that enormously inquisitive gaze. “You seem like you’re looking for something.” Notable Affiliations These can be used as points of contact. ♦ Hyzenthlay is a librarian with the Cabinet of Curiosity in the Crystarium. ♦ She's a known archaeologist and ruin explorer, a number of the pieces she's found on display in various places. ♦ A fair hand at tailoring and weaving, some may know her from her sensible clothing pieces upon various persons in the Crystarium. ♦ She possesses the Echo.

Syranelle gnawed on her lower lip, sliding the book aside. "What am I looking for in a contact? Well, first and foremost, I am currently doing research on all the various races and city-states of Eorzea, both present and past. I'm especially interested in the ruins in the Black Shroud and their ties to Gelmorra. Oh, what's that? Why...? Well, I'll only divulge my reasoning to the right contacts. We must all have our secrets, you know." The Elezen maid smiles faintly, emerald eyes hooded briefly by a fringe of dark lashes as she lowers her gaze. "Growing up in the wilds of Gridania, I didn't have much opportunity to explore the world-at-large; I stayed close to home, especially after the Calamity. In recent years, though, that has much changed and I've seen much of the world, though there are still pockets of mystery that remain. I thrive on exploration and discovery. Ever a researcher, I'm no soldier, no warrior. I've some moderate skill with healing, thanks to my work with some Free Companies in Eorzea. Occasionally, I might be in need of some guards or security, but mostly I'm just looking to find a friendly face or two." Notable Affiliations These can be used as points of contact. ♦ Syranelle is seen often at Mealvaan's Gate in Limsa Lominsa, coming and going as she borrows various books. ♦ Having done extensive healing-work in and around Gridania, characters with the Twin Adders may have encountered her at some point. ♦ She has been studying plants with the Botanist's Guild in Gridania, using the knowledge found there to augment her healing ability. ♦ She comes and goes from Ishgard quite a bit, having volunteered a lot of her time to helping to feed the less fortunate in Brume and assist with healing during the Battle for Ishgard. ♦ Her Free Company maintains an estate in Shirogane at present, where it's well-known that she maintains an infirmary.

Just be courteous if you need to AFK mid-RP for an extended period or reschedule the scene. ♦ I am a 40+ year old woman with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. This means I may need to cancel plans last-minute depending on my pain levels/fatigue or I may need to leave mid-scene. This is NOT an indicator of interest – or lack thereof – I have a disease that needs careful tending and I have to listen to the needs of my body before anything else. Availability ––– Timezone: GMT/UTC -5 or Central (US) Time. I’m mostly avaliable from 8pm to 8am, Sunday through Tuesday. Beyond that, my schedule gets pretty unpredictable and difficult to manage. But if I schedule to do something with you, I will follow through to the best of my ability! Discord: I almost always have Discord on in some form or fashion. If I don’t answer directly, then I’ll answer as soon as I’m able!
