Smiling River Posted February 10, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2014 Hey guys! I'll be giving A Realm Reborn a try with a new character. I've not yet given it a fair shake, and after taking care of some RL goals I have some time for this adventure. For those who I've yet to meet, I've been a part of this community since this site existed. Can't believe it's been four years already! I've RP'ed and even lead a spiffy linkshell, all before ARR. Right before the game went down, I took a hiatus from gaming which turned out to be a great move on my part. I sought better employment and turned to other habits like yoga, which made me drop some weight. Oh and I also went Paleo, but that's another topic. My character concept is fairly simple and allows a lot of room for growth. It's a young man of 16 who grew up hearing about these great adventurers (that would be you, Legacy players) and was inspired to someday go and be one himself! He doubled up on his efforts when his heroes started coming back. He is ambitious and wants to stand among his heroes as an equal someday, but for now, he's just ready for an adventure. Earning enough gil for a weapon, armor, and camping equipment, he hit the road not knowing where he'll end up. So I'll be taking a while to "catch up" in terms of the gameplay, but I'm eager to get back into RP. I'll also be looking for a heavy RP LS to join at some point in the near future, if you've got suggestions for a character I've outlined let me know! Thanks for reading :moogle: Link to comment
Steel Wolf Posted February 10, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 10, 2014 Welcome (back) to the RPC! I'm a newly arrived...er....arrival....to this community, so I'm honored to have met an old vet of the site such as yourself. *bows down and promptly bonks his head on the desk* If you're on Balmung and aren't intimidated by tree-like Roegadyn women, feel free to give Steel a hollar. ^^ Link to comment
Smiling River Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks Steel Wolf! My character (damn, I need to finalize the name) would probably be delighted to meet a "tree-like Roegadyn!" If Steel Wolf is your character name, I will add you whenever I get a chance to set everything up and play. I just realized that I might only have a few hours this week, as I am getting my dog here the coming weekend and have to prepare/clean a few things! But so excite! Link to comment
Kylin Posted February 10, 2014 Share #4 Posted February 10, 2014 Welcome back. You've had quite an impact on numerous characters out there and I'm sure you've heard all manners of updates about that during your downtime Link to comment
Whittledown Posted February 10, 2014 Share #5 Posted February 10, 2014 Welcome back! If you see Obsidian Hornet out and about please feel free to say hello! Link to comment
Alothia Posted February 10, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 10, 2014 Good to see you making a return~ Link to comment
Brynhilde Posted February 10, 2014 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2014 Welcome back! Your name is really familiar. Were you in the Order of the Stormguard, per chance? And how's going paleo working out for you? I've been thinking of trying it out. Link to comment
TheLastCandle Posted February 10, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 10, 2014 D'aww, memories of the Everwatch begin to surface. Welcome back! Much has changed. You're in for a treat, though, I think. Link to comment
Aysun Posted February 10, 2014 Share #9 Posted February 10, 2014 Welcome back, Oskar. While I'll miss your original character concept, I'm sure what ever you play you'll play just as well as you did him! Link to comment
Xenedra Posted February 10, 2014 Share #10 Posted February 10, 2014 Hay gurl, haaaay :3 Link to comment

Smiling River Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted February 11, 2014 Isn't this exciting Kylin- I've actually not kept up, so I don't know much about that. Eva sends me a PM once in a blue moon but a lot of that is about catching up about OOC/life stuff rather than the game. I am glad to hear that my RP lives on in some form or another still, it's a big compliment. Whittledown- I'll add you to my friend's list when I get set up, and say hi! Alothia- Hey sister from another mister, let's get to RPing again soon, I've some ideas Bryn- I was in Stormguard, yesss. I was fast and lose with my RP LSes back in the day, before Eorzean Guard and eventually Everwatch. I had the chance to RP in a lot of early LSes, and that was one of them. Nice to see you again! Paleo has been great, I advise anyone to try it. Feel free to PM me and I can tell you details... or maybe I'll do a post about it sometime! TheLastCandle- Hmm not sure who this is but I have an idea... I think that "d'aww" sounds British, doesn't it? ANd I can't wait to see what changes there are, and experience them through new eyes. Aysun- Thanks bro I am excited to try something new, especially since Oskar been dead an' all. New RP idea: Duskwight zombies. This one's on the house. But seriously, I'm eager to try re-exploring the game and meeting characters that I loved to RP with, with a character who has idolized them for years! Xenedra- HAAAY I FINK U FREAKY AND I LIKE U A LOT. John Spiegel- JJ! Holy hell, back from the old old XI days! And still bald! That's awesome, I can't wait to run into you in-game and RP after like, 7 years... Link to comment
TheLastCandle Posted February 11, 2014 Share #14 Posted February 11, 2014 You know.. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe returning 1.x characters can freely change their race and names on startup. You know, if you wanted to use the progress you made as Oskar for your new character. Link to comment
Eva Posted February 11, 2014 Share #15 Posted February 11, 2014 Hey!!! Welcome back, you! :thumbsup: Link to comment
Manari Posted February 11, 2014 Share #16 Posted February 11, 2014 Oskar! I'm glad to see you return. I'm not going to lie, I missed the RP you created very very much since you left. I sincerely hope to meet your new character IC sometime soon. And if you need any help with the game itself, I'd be glad to assist you. Link to comment
Nel Celestine Posted February 11, 2014 Share #17 Posted February 11, 2014 Welcome back to the community. Whatever path you choose for your character and with whatever group(s) you participate with, I wish you an enjoyable experience. Link to comment
TheLastCandle Posted February 11, 2014 Share #18 Posted February 11, 2014 Me, too. And to answer your question - no, I'm not British! I'm the artist formerly known as Teveriel. Link to comment
Smiling River Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share #19 Posted February 11, 2014 TheLastCandle- Oh yeah, that's right. Can the names be changed as well? I think I will re-roll a brand new guy though, just because a lot has changed and I'd be rusty as hell for someone with a nearly maxed character... unless they pushed up the level cap?! And I was totally wrong in assuming your character, sorry! Eva- Good to hear from ya, glad to be back in the world of FFXIV RP Manari- While I can't promise the same type of RP with this character, there will for sure be shenanigans you'd appreciate. And yeah I'll hold you up to some help in my newb levels Nel- Thanks! Aaaand in other news, Joachim Fieldman is alive everyone! Friend me if you want Oh and if I can change my username that'd be good too! Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted February 11, 2014 Share #21 Posted February 11, 2014 Welcome back! If you have some time to send tell to Ellaria Althene, I'd be glad to hear your RP ideas since it seems like a lot of veterans know you. Link to comment

Friend me if you want Oh and if I can change my username that'd be good too! No problem. And changing your user name is easy to do! It's in the User CP, "Edit Profile" under the Your Profile section. Edit: The cap wasn't raised, but you would still have to go through the class/job quests to get all of the old skills back. Might help shake the rust off. Plus you'd still have to do the story, which forces you into dungeons and scales your levels back during them. It's a thought, anyway, unless you just want to level a new character. That can be fun, too. ^^ Link to comment
Smiling River Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share #23 Posted February 11, 2014 Oh derp... Got it! Thanks for all the info ^^; Hey Mtoto! Aldotsk- For sure! I'll add you next time I log on. Link to comment
John Spiegel Posted February 15, 2014 Share #24 Posted February 15, 2014 ~_~ I said I was eating a sandwich, not that I was unable to RP you n00b. That's like asking "Hey JJ, what's up? Are you busy?" And I say "I'm jus' eattin' a sammich." Which means not busy at all. N00b. Sincerely, JJ Link to comment
