Greetings

Hello,

 

What to say...what to say...

 

While I have experience in RP in forms like chat and games, I mostly stayed away from forums that organized RP, such as this one, so forgive me if I am not the most eloquent. 

 

Currently I am am playing another MMO, and if my squishy blue avatar in a box is not familiar to you, it is Guild Wars 2. I am not looking to leave GW2 but FF14 finally came out for PS4 and I wanted to experience the RP there, so I would kind of be splitting my time.

 

I've already made my main character, a male Miqo'te, on both Balmung and Gilgamesh to see what the RP is like, though him being an Archer means he's in Gridania, which from what I've initially seen, is the lightest RP of the cities, but maybe I'm wrong. I've also made a female Elezen on Balmung to get an idea of what Ul'dah is like. I still need to see how Limsa Lominsa looks, most likely with a Hyur on Gilgamesh.  

 

What I am more worried about with FF14 is that while I am experienced with MMO's through GW2, that game is a lot more solo friendly with less reliance on the "holy trinity". So while I may be a good rper, I am afraid I'll be a bit of a noob when it comes to being out in combat, so I figured I should give fair warning. I am also not looking to power level, at least right now I am not, hoping to go at a more casual pace.

 

Main Character

 

 

Knowing only a bit about the races so far, I decided to go with a Keeper of the Moon, though I tried to follow proper naming techniques, calling him Saikha'to Rhys. Being a Keeper of the Moon he is the second son in a family with one older brother, two older sisters, himself, then a his two little twin sisters. I hope I haven't made his immediate family too large, as I am unsure of proper Miqo'te family sizes.

 

He's 18 and he loves his family, but he had to get away for a while as his brother had advised him. Being in a matriarchal society plus having twin sisters 10 years younger than him has started to wear on his back, with pushy demands for constant "Chocobo Rides" and whatever else their privileged little minds could come up with.

 

And that's pretty much all I've got for him. I plan him on being friendly, and of course a bit catlike, but not nyaning all over the place, just maybe a little curious with little ticks like ear twitches and the like. I think he'll also be a bit of an introvert, one of those awkward at first types but is friendly enough once you get through his hard outer candy shell. Almost like me! 

 

Other Characters....?

 

 

As for other characters, while I have my Elezen on Balmung, named Marielle Desjardins, I am not sure if I will make a character for her, perhaps maybe a bit of a tomboyish Elezen, since they are supposed to be all noble and elegant and she is a pugilist right now, though she knows how to clean up and fake it when called on.

 

In fact I am not sure if this game is really all that accommodating for multiple characters. I haven't played much of this game, but it is starting to seem like that is not the case here. How difficult would it be to juggle multiple characters?

 

Well I think I've rambled on enough. I hope it was alright, like I mentioned, not the best with forums.

Welcome to the RPC!

 

Firstly, yes, the game is less solo friendly in that you have to group to do dungeons and trials to progress the story, but duty finder makes it pretty easy to arrange.

 

Both of your characters sound like solid concepts. Your miqo'te actually reminds me of my Keeper - squishy heart under a hard shell haha. The game isn't exactly alt-friendly because you'll have to do all the story quests, earn your mount, go up in your grand company, etc, all over again. You also get an xp bonus to levelling up other jobs once you get one to 50, so if you level a second job on another character, you don't get that bonus. It's not impossible, however; just more difficult than perhaps it is in other games. I'm an altoholic with 11 characters in WoW and 8 in GW2 but two is the most I can manage here.

 

Hope that helps and if you're about on Balmung, feel free to say hello!

Hello there! I hang around on Balmung with my two characters Siegfried and Charlotte Tiln also Keepers of the Moon, their Miqo'te names are Bruh'a and Catra Buremi. 

 

I do some heavy plot stuff but mostly just have a good time with casual RP, feel free to send me a friend request if you want to.
