It's all about the day-by-day interactions where you might learn something new about someone as well as giving your character room to grow. I always found it odd when someone would give their life-story out in public in the Quicksand for all to hear. Call it being carefree, but it just seems a tad weird to me.(05-31-2016, 12:11 PM)Warren Castille Wrote: What is it that happened? You mentioned some events in her storyline but without context, it's very difficult to provide anything other than generic advice.She adjusted a little to Eorzean society, found a mate and got bonded, though tragically, she lost her mate after a run into with the minions of Leviathan.
She also left her previous FC, due to being treated unfairly during a brief imprisonment and other aggressive factors thereafter.
Those were all very recent, but I am afraid of letting more being brought out other then that. Else I feel I dont have enough left to give people a surprise for when they would actually interact with her. I'm never a fan of letting everything out all at once
As someone said earlier, your best bet may be getting involved in other people's stories as it lets your character develop more fluidly. You said that she recently came to Eorzea, so there's still quite a few things she may not know about society, what happens on the streets, as well as the type of jobs out there.
Maybe she notices a hunting group and her violent past creeps up on her, making her wish to be a hunter to quench her thirst while also getting paid, but make it subtle. Could also use the Grindstone or Runestone depending on her skills to sate this thirst and meet people after beating them up/get beaten up XD.Â
Or perhaps have her be timid with new people due to her lost and how she was treated with her previous group (timid though, not shutting out people else it will be hard to RP with). Maybe having an episode when someone else's story involves primals.
I guess the TL;DR version would be try getting involved with other plots rather than just your own. I've always found it fun and interesting learning about other character's plots and it can gives you ideas on your own plot.
