Another Newbie to FFXIV RP!

[Littleroot]

Hey all! The name's Jay! Moderately long time FFXIV player, ('bout 3 years now) but completely new to mmo rping! 

 

MMORPG background -

Although i've dipped my toes into a lot of titles, there have only been a few i've stuck to. Ragnarok Online, ( in the form of private servers- ) was probably my first and fondest of those experiences. The others that followed were Maplestory and Tera more predominantly, but most others fell to the side as my friends liked to hop games. It wasn't until I got into FFXIV that I fell in love with the genre again.. and now here I am! Perhaps not too well-read on the lore, but ready to learn as i go!
 

RP experience

My more familiar experiences with roleplay began with sites like deviantart and paint-chats. I enjoyed the visual element more than i did the story, but grew to love writing characters and interactions the more i got  into it. Albeit stopping and coming back to it on numerous occasions, roleplay ( or similar endeavors where I could draw alongside ) had been something i've enjoyed for some years now. Although I have no experience with rping in an mmo yet, i'd love to make ffxiv my running start! 

 

Character ideas/info

Being the mmo rp newbie that I am, i figured i'd start with a simple character; one that i've already named Ylva Littleroot! ( hence the screen name. : P ) 

 

>> Here's her rp card! <<

 

So far, the idea is just to play as an adventurer wannabe- A sheltered girl turned reckless explorer bent on traveling every inch of Hydaelyn. She's also just a fun, low-key excuse to familiarize myself more with the world and its' lore. I figured it'd be a great way to hit several birds with one stone!  I haven't worked out the full details, but i felt like not doing so would be half the fun! (I'll be damned if i know what i'm doing for the next little while, but there's an adventure in that too i suppose!) If anything else, I'd like to have her grow naturally and change depending on the people i might interact with!

She's currently a side character based in Mateus! ( My main non-rp character is in Fairie. ) 

 

That being said, I'd also love to play with more interesting characters down the line; namely dipping into morally grey to "evil" characters. Villains always seem more fun!

 

How did you learn about the coalition?

Google!

 

What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? (e.g. Light, medium, or heavy)

I'm considering light for now to maybe medium(?) As far as ffxiv goes, I'm not too informed on the lore, nor do i have a full grasp of what I want to accomplish with mmo rping. In the meanwhile, I'm just looking to make friends and create fun characters and stories that'll last!

 

Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc.)

I currently work as an employee at an art supply shop. On my downtime, I play ffxiv (big surprise) among other things with my partner and pals. 'Part from that, I sink the rest of my time into drawing when i can and enjoy taking naps~! Time wise, i operate under the PST timezone. ( Bout -7 UTC i think(?))

 

I'll shoot on over to the connections forum soon together with my discord.. but in the meanwhile-

 

Nice to meet you all!!

Welcome to the RPC, Littleroot!

 

The Lore gives us a lot of freedom, so don't stress yourself out or try to learn it all overnight! I like your ideas so far and can't wait to learn more~

 

With the ability to visit other servers that are in the same data center, you can open up your world 093840938209384 fold and that opens up so many more doors to find interactions.

 

It's nice to meet you too~

Welcome to the RPC! ^-^

 

Having a low-key and still-in-the-learning character is always a smart move when starting in a setting one is not familiar with, as it gives you the chance to learn alongside as a player. Plus, adventurers are rather common in Eorzea and they come in all kinds and shapes, so that will surely leave you a lot of freedom to find interactions and a lot of options to shape up your character!

Aw thank you both!!

I'm glad to hear that there's a lot of flexibility within the game and the community! I'm more nervous to just find my footing, but excited nonetheless!

I'll definitely take visiting other servers into consideration too~
