A post about hellos. - Vairemont - 02-04-2013

Hello all!  After stal- err.. lurk- no wait.  Browsing the forum and wiki for the past little while I've emerged from my little corner to wave at all you fantastic folk.  I will no doubt return to my silent watching again, but now that I have an account I may pop out to add a voice here and there.


For anyone interested, or simply bored while waiting for the beta to be released, I'll jot down my little background here.


MMORPG Background


I started out with WoW.  Played from beta to Cataclysm, though I took a few breaks here and there.  I didn't start roleplaying in an MMO until just past Burning Crusade, so a couple years into the game.  Though WoW was my main, I did play quite a few others.  Vanguard, Aion, City of Villains/Heroes, LotRO, GW2, EQ2, and I'm sure I'm missing a few others.  All in all a good eight years of experience.  I hadn't tried out FFXIV 1.0, but look forward to it's release now!


RP Experience


Forum roleplay came first, largely made up of Gaia Online.  That was, at best, a learning experience.  I then evolved into the MMO scene, and haven't looked back since.  It's become such a large part of my online experience that I usually put it above anything I may do in-game.  While fast paced in-game RP is my forte, I have kept a journal for most of my characters to switch up the pace and I think tends to add more explanation and depth to their actions.


Character Ideas/Info


As I am new to the Final Fantasy 'verse, I really would love any constructive criticism or suggestions/thoughts.  I usually create my characters around my chosen race and class when first delving into a game so as to not make many mistakes, and the personality usually fills them out the most.


As you may have noticed from the name, I really love the Lalafell in this series.  I've always stuck with the small races in most games.  See Gnomes for WoW, Dwarves for LotRO, etc.  Anyway, as I haven't played any of the classes/jobs yet, this is open to change but I'm starting with a pugilist/monk.  This little monk will have a cheerful and friendly demeanor, with a religious bend to it, possibly leading to fanaticism.  To not clump this up too much, I'll post what I have in the Wiki when I can.


How did you learn about the coalition?


I ran across your Wiki when googling about FFXIV's races and then never really left.


What Kind of a Role-player are you aiming to be?  Light, Medium, or Heavy?


In one word, Medium.  To explain more concisely, I plan on role-playing as often as possible.  Within cities, out leveling, and inside dungeons if possible!  That being said, I also enjoy chatting with others out of character as well.  I think the best way to put it is that I'll be a constant potential role-player, who can jump out of OOC whenever RP comes up.


Anything from Real Life you're comfortable with sharing?


I'm a fairly open person!  My actual name's Steve, I'm 22 and live in Canada.  I work full-time, and am often online in the early to late afternoons during the weekdays and almost all the time during the weekends.


Now then, back to my corner.. Tonberry

Hey. How's it goin'.

RE: A post about hellos. - Vairemont - 02-04-2013

Ah!  People!

Deirdre - I have done quite a bit of research by myself, but I know I'm no lore guru, so I shall ask if I do have any questions, thank you!  New Canada buddies are always welcome!

Aysun - My corner is so comfy though!  And I shall strive to post on the forums, but you shall certainly see me in-game!  I have applied, yes!  I eagerly look forward to it.

Abaigeal - *waves!*  Hello to you too!  If I get too lonely I shall come out for awkwardly honest posts and then retreat once more.

Gerik - *plays with beads* Hello to you too! Hurrah new friends!

Knave - *shares comfy blankets* Hey to you too! :3

Thank you for the welcoming posts!  It's good to be here!

Welcome to the RPC! Looking forward to playing with your little monk.

RE: A post about hellos. - Vairemont - 02-04-2013

*waves from his corner*

Weffrey - Hello!  Yes, and quite friendly too!  I'll be sure to ask if I need anything, thank you!

Teveriel - Heh, thanks!  As I don't have an in-game appearance to go off of yet, I had thought this would be suitable until then.  Glad you approve!  And I am eagerly awaiting to play with the rest of you, as well!
