Guten Abend, Bonsoir, こんばんは, and Good Evening!

[Crossarchus]

Greetings, everyone. I'm Crossarchus, and it's great to be here. I'm fan of structure, so I'm going just jump right into the template here!

 

MMORPG Background

 

My first MMORPG was Star Wars Galaxies. I started at launch, and I wasn't very good at it, but it was a lot of fun. I didn’t realize what I was doing most of the time could be considered to be RP. I would generally do my very best to interact with people as though I were an NPC. I wanted to know as much about the universe as possible and use that to enhance the experience of the other players. This is my first experience with FFXIV.

 

RP Experience

 

The first MMORPG I ever "officially" RP'd in was Everquest II, and I've been doing it ever since! I still like to keep that "I'm an NPC" mentality, but that doesn't mean I don't like to interact. I just generally prefer to be reactive, I like to play support roles, and I am generally slow to get into RP as I can never seem to do enough research on Lore. 

 

Character Ideas/Info

 

I'm an alt-oholic for sure, as I never know what sort of character will fit in or support a community. Though I do lots of lore research, I don't do a ton of character planning beforehand. I like to know the basics, start with an archetype, and then whittle their respective personalities down from there. 

 

How did you learn about the coalition?

 

I learned about this community from a YouTube video that came up after searching for "FFXIV Roleplaying Servers".

 

What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?

 

I'm definitely a heavy role-player, preferring to be in-character as much as possible. I don't mind OOC chatter though. I think it is good for people to know the player behind the character, after all. 

 

Work, School, Hobbies, etc. 

 

I keep pretty busy. (I don’t believe in boredom.) I've a full-time internship and I'm a university student as well. I row competitively and I've been taking blacksmithing/metalworking courses at a local arts center. 

 

:thumbsup:

 

I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone and eavesdropping on your RP as soon as the servers will let me in!

Welcome Cross!

 

Glad to have you aboard. Blacksmith, eh? That's sounds really interesting. We need more swords in everyday life. No more lines at the bank!

Hello Crossarchus!

 

I suffer alt-ism as well, and I have to say, I have so far found that FFXIV makes it really hard to do so here. Not so much because right now you can't actually make as many characters you want or potentially pay for on a given server ( :dodgy: ), but rather they make it so convenient for a single character to do so many things . Having said that, I do enjoy having different looks and different personalities to play with, so as soon as they allow 8 characters on the server, I'm sure to be there .

 

Welcome to the community, hope to run into you in game :thumbsup: !
