There goes the neighborhood. - cherrybomb - 04-28-2015
Hi! Figured I should introduce myself. I've been poking around the forums the past week or so, and you all seem like a nice bunch. I play on Balmung as Grinning Jackal, and I'm sorry to say that I'm a newbie in every sense of the word; new to the game, new to MMOs, and new to RP. I've only just started playing FFXIV this month, actually. You may have seen me wandering around, looking tall and mildly highly confused, as is my wont.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Uh, I don't know, exactly. Is "all of the above" a valid answer? It's the idea of cooperative, collaborative writing that drew me to RP, so the idea of character development and long term storylines really appeals to me, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at light social stuff, either.
--Character ideas/info
Well... right now I play a big fancy Roe bard lady, but as cool as dapper muscle-ladies are I've kind of had my heart set on the Au Ra since I first started, so she's probably going to be drinking a fantasia and eating a name change in the near future.
--Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
Hmm. I'm a dumb dweeb from New Orleans, currently attending school out-of-state - I aim to go into counseling/mental health-related social work once I'm done with school, and I can be kinda hyper-intense about mental and physical wellness as a result. I'm pretty much incapable of even basic navigation without the help of GPS, and I get into vocal arguments with my phone on a fairly regular basis. The word "duty" makes me laugh when it's spoken out loud, because I am an idiot. I'm 5' tall, and dumb short jokes are the fastest way to make me go >:C.

Welcome! FFXIV is fantastic, came from EVE back in Sept 2013 and never looked back. Plentiful RP and the storyline to the game itself is great (you've got a good amount of story to get through, which only improves as it goes on!)

I have seen you, and you stood out because I love your name! Don't worry about being new and don't be afraid to ask questions either. Welcome to Balmung!

Welcome to the madhouse that is both the RPC and FFXIV in general!
And as you may have seen, you definitely won't be the only one downing a fantasia in the near future around here. That said, if you have questions, feel free to ask. The folks here are friendly and as long as you don't feed them after midnight they won't bite!

Welcome! I'm sure all of us are eagerly awaiting to see what heights you may reach with your time in Eorzea. May it not be short!

Aww. Warren beat me to the soundtrack.
Welcome to Balmung!

Hiya! Welcome to the RPC!
Not sure how much of the game you've seen so far, but here's a few things to help get you started in RPing.
Available at mostly EST-ish evenings, feel free to poke me to help run content or chat OOC anytime! I like meeting people!
