Osirus Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share #26 Posted October 27, 2015 Hey mates my name is Osirus and i have been playing FFxiv for about two and a half months now and i have heard that there is a role-playing server(s). I am and absolute fan of rp and now that I know that there are server(s) to go on to do just that, along with so many different people is just fantastic. Okay out of the old and in with the new. I am working on a background story for Abarus, but i am still working on how i want his "personality" to be. IRL i'm a very free-hearted, loving guy who like to do new thing and meet new people. But i don't think i want Abarus to have my own characteristics. Class/Job wise, I planning (this is a highly liked choice) on making him a Ninja From Doma (like the usual ninja by the name Oboro). I know that it may be annoying to others by Abarus being a semi-copy of Oboro but it not there character so i think i will be fine. Anyway, If anyone could lend a mate some feedback on me thought, it would be well appreciated. Osirus out! 8-) Figured I'd quote this just so it's easy to refer back to here on page 2. The questions posed are good for character building, too. One big thing to think about is your character's motivation. Perhaps, given all the talk of masters, he's seeking a new master in Eorzea, but the betrayal in Doma has left him leery of accepting one too easily. Maybe he's trying to find someone truly worthy of his trust and service. How would he test them? What would he look for in a proper master. Or his master could be a never seen NPC off in the wings, and you could just reference doing things for him in between faffing about and doing whatever you damn well please IC. It's your character and the possibilities are endless. The whole master thing could be as all encompassing, or not, as you want. Okay about that situation, the pretending the "master" is an unseen NPC thing... is that aloud? Because i had done something slimier awhile back and i got a lot of negative feed back on the topic.

Ashe Posted October 27, 2015 Share #27 Posted October 27, 2015 Okay, so we've established that your "master" can be an organization. Just find employment that sounds suitable and there you go, non-issue. It's more like undying loyalty. They aren't mercenaries. Link to comment
Osirus Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share #28 Posted October 27, 2015 Yeah, planning on soon transferring to the server soon when i get the money to both do the name change along with the transfer. - And thanks mate for the character build ideas, already answering some of them in my head now. And maybe i could RP with you when I get situated aye? If you're the type of person who likes alt characters, highly recommended to make them on your current server and transfer them all over to Balmung for the single $18 fee. It's not directly stated anywhere clearly on the official sites, but when you pay for a transfer, you pay for a transfer of all available characters on Server A to Server B. - In regards to RP, I'd be happy to try! I'm Pacific Coast USA scum living in the land of no seasons with a normal 8-5 job. So that means I'm usually in-game from about 6 - 10 in the evening, unless pretending to be social or otherwise obligated. Weekends are usually free, unless some major holiday comes around and the family guilt-trips me. You can find a horribly outdated wiki page for Franz in the signature below if you want to get a feel for the character. Franz is.....well, he's an ass most of the time to a lot of people. And to others, he probably seems like a generally decent person. He is Garlean by blood, so if your eventually character would be able to spot a Garlean (even one well-concealed) in hiding, I do keep that open to people (assuming we discuss it a little first). Sometimes the big reveal's more fun after a person's come to know (maybe trust) before Franz ruins everything, as has happened a few times. There's a bit of very stretched (or just broken) lore on the character, which I normally keep under wraps outside of personal plots/people who've basically signed a waiver. But if he seems like an interesting guy, I'm always happy to force him into new situations. Haha that sounds very interesting, and interesting things are fun, can't wait to get Abarus up and going!:roll: Link to comment
Nebbs Posted October 27, 2015 Share #29 Posted October 27, 2015 Okay, so we've established that your "master" can be an organization. Just find employment that sounds suitable and there you go, non-issue. It's more like undying loyalty. They aren't mercenaries. I never said anything about a master in my OP, that was your point. My point was around openly declaring yourself a ninja, or rather not doing this. I don't care if people have a master or not, or even a soul crystal or not. For me it just seems to spoil the mystique if there is no mystery. Though I tend to see the classes as stereotypical archetypes and in RP we are free to blend in our own story and take on that. Though I accept some take the full rigidity of the game, I see it more as a loose framework that creates a common setting. To each their own. 1 Link to comment

You can take the classes as they are or make them your own like. I want to be a Knight and use a 2 handed sword but not be a dark knight. 1 Link to comment
Osirus Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share #31 Posted October 27, 2015 Okay, so i guess the jest is not to show as Ninja but to keep it hidden, and at the necessary times it is allowed. Have a master is essential for this type of character along with a well-nit master-Retainer relationship, both impotent. But then again allow him to blend with the story somehow... - Link to comment

I just go off the lore that was presented to me in the 3 times I leveled ninja >> Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted October 27, 2015 Share #33 Posted October 27, 2015 Hey, quick question. Who's Oboro acting for during the entire 30-50 arc, given what we know about his story in relation to the one presented? Edit, since we're just arguing in circles: A master-type is a part of the story quests but you are free to use your imagination to come up with a background. That's kind of the first tenet of roleplay, is using your imagination. Link to comment
