[Gilgamesh] Looking For: RP Partners, Linkshells, Free Company!

[Ehki-Idolmo]

Hiya. Brand spanking new member here, returning to the game after leaving 1.0 in 2010.

 

I'm hungry to meet other roleplayers, and would love to get to know some of you! I'm flexible as a player, but I currently have only one character, and she probably plays better with some types over others. I'll spare you a full profile, but here is the quick and the dirty:

 

-----

 

Ehki Idolmo

Miqo'te Female, aged 22 years

Resides in Ul'dah

Primary Classes: ARC, CUL, CRP, ALC, WVR, BTN, FSH.

 

Ekhi is a displaced Keeper of the Moon who left her tribal community following a personal tragedy, shortly before the Calamity halted the war with Garlemald. As a direct result, she has since become an indentured servant to a wealthy merchant in Ul'dah. Over the last five years, she has learned the etiquette of his home and city. Her background as a hunter, combined with her domestic training as a member of the merchant's household, has turned her into an all-purpose servant who keeps a close watch on the family's children and guests. 

 

While she's gifted with the natural talent of an adventurer, Ehki is somewhat crippled by uncertainty and a lack of confidence. The events that carried her to Ul'dah have left her without a true place in the world, and even though she owes her masters her life, she dreams of a day when she'll be free to find some manner of closure for what happened in her past.

As a character, Ehki is currently Loyal, Polite, Kind-Hearted, possessing of a Guilty Conscience, Submissive, and Gullible. She would play well with both kind characters who want to help her grow and act on her convictions, as well as with less-noble types who want to take advantage of her servile tendencies.

 

My personal short-term goal for her is to make arrangements IC so that she is partially or wholly free of her obligations to the family in her backstory, so that she can be exposed to the larger world with other players. It's perfectly okay if this takes a long time! I'm used to drawn out stories. In the longer term, once I find a group I'm comfortable developing her with, I'd like to make a plot out of what happened in her childhood, and resolve that over the course of a story arc.

 

As a player, I enjoy long-term stories that involve small to medium sized groups. To me, roleplaying is about giving opportunities as well as taking them, and I'd love to help other characters develop alongside mine. I am ERP friendly, but prefer to do it when it serves a narrative purpose rather than for its own sake. 

 

If you have a character, a Linkshell, a Free Company or some other group that would mesh well with me and my character, please send me a private message! I'd love to hear about your suggestions and talk shop with you.

 

Thank you for reading!

Hmm.  I like her story background, very neat!

 

I've started working on developing a Free Company listed in the Gilgamesh directory under Wardens of Light.  Right now the FC itself is made up of some RL friends of mine who aren't RPers, but I've got a separate IC Linkshell set up to dedicate solely to that.

 

General idea is a group of adventurers that act kind of like the Scions, but on a less grandiose scale.  While the Scions are known to the Grand Companies and active in big threats (like primals), the Wardens are a group inspired by the tales of the Warriors of Light to take it upon themselves to travel through foreign lands and root out threats to Eorzea.

 

Long term, I'd love to see it develop not just as a group of adventurers, but merchants and crafters who support the adventurers' work and offer a network of information as well.

 

A bit of Dragon Age influence as well with the Gray Wardens idea of the group recruiting anyone they see with potential, so there's a possibility they'd see motivation to help Ehki get out of her more restrictive situation.

 

Dunno if you'd be interested in that sort of group, and it's just myself and one other in the IC linkshell at the moment (I just got the FC set up and will be more active in sniffing out potential members).

 

Of course, being a bit of a secretive group that doesn't hold to beliefs of restrictive participation, you're welcome to develop her interaction with the group and be in the Linkshell without joining the FC if you find another too.

 

Feel free to look for me (Swift Nightclaw in the game too) anytime!
