Old to RP, New to MMO Rp


Aydin

Recommended Posts

Hello all!  As the title says I am a newcomer to the XIV RP scene; been working on my first character for just over a week now and thought I should finally introduce myself and try and get myself out there a bit

 

MMO Experience

XIV was the first MMORPG I actually managed to get into properly; attempted WoW and then XI but to no avail.  I've actually been in XIV for coming up 4 years this winter but have finally given into the temptation of the RP Scene.

RP Experience

I've been RPing for over 15 years now if I actually stop to think about it.  Obviously not constantly, I have had some very long breaks in between but I pretty much always used to do text/forum based RP; both original and fandom based.  I love writing and I like to think that shows in my RP.  I am a bit nervous of MMO rping because it is nothing I have ever done before in that sense, but I know I just have to get over that and throw myself into it and try and refrain from the rambling I used to be so used to doing.  I would however be more than happy to do some text based RP if that's what people also enjoy; either over on here or via discord or something of the sort.  I used to be a big fan of not pre-planning everything but chatting and having vague ideas of what sort of direction interactions would want to possibly lead to.

Character Ideas

So my current number 1 i am working on is my crafting boy; Aydin.  Born in Thavnair (I have literally scoured google for every last shred of lore I can find lol) but with an Eorzean mother ideally going to specialise in ALC and GSM (and other general intricate metal work), quite academic and technical with his crafting and possibly up for the idea of taking on a student or two.  Also with a base medical knowledge from having the history in ALC as opposed to the aether based healers as DoM's. However I currently am stuck in the rut of trying to level up all his crafters; I do feel bad having him as this established freelance artisan when all of his in game levels are like 25-30 at the time of posting this.  Feels bad saying he is a freelancer and happy to take commisions from any and all folks around the realm when I can hardly make a HQ enchanted in sometimes lol.  I am obviously more than willing to retcon details about his history if/when we get more lore but I believe I have managed to plan out his history in a way that I can accommodate for the vagueness we have in some relations to the area.  I have done him a WIP page if anyone wants to check out what I do have; you can click here for it or you can just ping me if he is the sort of character you would like to have some interaction with.  Going forward I think I would also like to have a more Adventurer focused character, but since I also have my original main game character that I raid on with etc I dont really want to stretch myself too thin.  Aydin does have a sister fleshed into his background so I am tied between potentially playing her or putting her out there as a potential character for someone else

What kind of RPer do I want to be?

Being new to this form of RP I don't want to drop myself in the deep end so I will say light/medium for the time being.  I don't mind tackling mature subjects, but if these things are to be played out I would prefer to just discuss them briefly beforehand just so we are all on the same page.  Not majorly in depth just like confirming what mature themes may occur and if all parties are comfortable with it.  I have no issues with the use of offensive language.  I apologise if I may come off nervous at first; social anxiety is a kicker but I really do want to push past it and learn to love the RP community here as I have many others in the past.

 

So thats me! I look forward to hopefully speaking with some of you, flesh some things out, get some stuff going.  If you have any questions or anything please just send me a message o/

Hey Aydin, welcome to FFXIV! It's okay to be nervous just remember you and everyone else here is here for the enjoyment of roleplay.

 

There is an RP network on discord that you can join here and there's a whole bunch Omegan RPers: 

 

You should be able to just jump right in and it'll be great to get started there I think.

 

Best wishes!
