Another new person

[Shaori]

Hello everyone!  Just found this place through the power of the mightiest of internet oracles, also known as Google.  I hope I get the opportunity to meet with some of you in game and share in some compelling stories.

 

MMORPG background

I have played several MMOs, including WoW, CoX, Champions Online, GW/GW2, and SWTOR.

 

RP experience

I have been a table top roleplayer and GM for about 13 years.  I have also roleplayed in ever MMO I have played in, except for the first Guild Wars.  My hope is to play here as a heavy roleplayer.

 

Character ideas/info

Shaori Starbreeze

 

Age: 19

Race: Hyur

Sex: Female

Hair color: Green

Eye colors: White (Left) Blue (Right)

Notable traits: Small arcane symbol tattooed on left cheek.  Mute.

 

Yes, the muteness can prove to be quite a burden in a roleplay situation, but she had two ways around this.  One, she is familiar with a form of Eorzean sign language.  Two, by making physical contact with someone (usually touching their face) she can speak directly to them.  How is this, you might ask?

 

Very briefly, her calling in life involves spirits, travelling the world trying to bring peace to the spirits troubled by the Calamity.  This includes ghosts of the fallen and agitated elementals.  Her attunement to such things allows her to communicate with them, through her own spirit.  I haven't looked enough to see if there is any sort of lore precedent, but I figure it's a safe enough fantasy trope and it seemed like a fun idea so I wanted to run with it.

 

Full bio will be posted on the wiki as time permits.  Thanks for reading and I hope to meet you soon.

Welcome to the site! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask - everyone here is really helpful and happy to assist. 

 

As for me, if you'd ever like to RP, send a tell in game or grab me where ever. And if you're looking for a FC or LS to join, you should check the list here. I shall also selfishly recommend my own - The Hungry Wolf. We're small and looking for members (even officers) so if you're interested check us out!

[Shaori]

Thanks Shizu, and hello!

 

I'll definitely have a look around and some of the FCs, but not just yours though.

Welcome to the RPC and Balmung Shaori! Your character sounds interesting and I have quite a few of my own that wouldn't mind meeting someone with her abilities, especially my main Siha! She's currently trying to bring her oath brother back to life, he's running around as a ghost (sort of), so if you ever see me on Siha Xinkei don't hesitate to contact me. Perhaps we could get you in our plot or just get Shaori some contacts going!

[Shaori]

Hi Siha!  That sounds like it could be a lot of fun.  I'll definitely try and get a hold of you when I can in game.

Greetings and welcome to the RPC as the others have said Shaori,

 

Excuse me while I dust off the welcome mat!

 

Have you had the chance to look around? maybe clicked on a few links, scrolled through the thread? think you might be missing something? I suggest checking out

http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/misc.php?page=welcome

A generic welcome post provided to help outline a lot of the resources here at the RPC as well as pointing out the names of a few of the support staff.

 

You mentioned being an old hand at RP, and theres nothing to make sure you're up to snuff quite like DnD, but if you'd like to know some Hydaelyn specific things, or maybe just brush up over all, the RP handbook provided and compiled by Eva is an excellent resource:

If you're in search of communities, the others have made good suggestions, i'll throw in a few as well, they might fit depending on what you're looking for.

"Intermission" is an excellent way to meet people OOC, plan a get together, talk about the latest Chris Hiddleston chest pic, ect. All the good stuff.

"Balmungs Finest" is a PVE centered linkshell all about the group content, from doing dungeons to plowing through primals, if you're looking for a group, or just want to jump into other peoples parties without worrying about duty finder PUGS who won't put that stupid topaz carbuncle away.

 

Hrm, well i'm a bit out of practice, so thats all for now. As the others have shown the community is fairly open, and there are plenty of people to answer questions or provide perspective.

 

Hope to see you out in Eorzea, and good luck!

 

EDIT: DAMN I knew i forgot something!

just a quick note, the RPC wiki will use you're regular RPC log in, there are a few templates Deirdre has provided and lurking around other peoples is a great way to see what works for who. Tah-tah!

[Shaori]

Wow!  Thanks Olofantur!  I'll definitely take a look at all of that.  Or at least as much as my brain can process before it explodes from lore overload.
