Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Falkner - 08-05-2013 Heya, folks! I guess I'll start a thread here to explain my idea of my first (yay!) FFXIV character. I never played the legacy FFXIV though, but I kind of liked the concept of the Roegadyn race; tall, large frame, seems independent, dependable, and surely for those with that size will have a slightly different view (physically and mentally) of the world around them. It is decided then that I'll create a Roegadyn as my RP character. Insight, guidance, and (or) helps about this character is very greatly appreciated! Name: Eyriswyr Helbthorsyn a.k.a Ferris Wheel... or Mr. Wheel, Wheel-san, whatever. Race: Roegadyn, Sea Wolves, Male. Appearance: The Idea: About the Nickname: Likes: Dislikes: --- Edit: A little disappointed that there are no options for long hairstyles or shades of dark brown skins for the Sea Wolves but... here comes Mr. Wheel! ![]() RE: Falkner's RP character. Insights are appreciated! - sanguineFenrir - 08-05-2013 I actually think this is a very interesting concept--well-thought out and very detailed, especially for a first character. You seem like a person who puts a great deal of care into their ideas and characters. The art doesn't look too rough at all, and I can tell a great deal about him from simply looking at it. I enjoy the colors; it looks almost like a watercolor painting. I'd offer advice, but you seem to know what you're doing. Hopefully I may see you around Balmung sometime--my character is a Miqo'te but is (fortunately?) not too cat-like in his mannerisms, nearly not at all. It would be interesting if they met. I do think it's good that Eyriswyr will provide comic relief. A lot of the RP I've seen in other games has been very dark or overdramatic, and I'm guilty of this myself. Sometimes I take things too seriously. Laughter is good. RE: Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Falkner - 08-05-2013 Thanks for the positive remarks, Fenrir! That means a lot. I don't really know how I'm gonna show the comic-relief sides of Mr. Wheel in game, but I promise I'll try my best. ![]() Most probably if Ferris Wheel meets Kevaraan (and his party) somewhere in public, Wheel will simply asks, "Have you seen this bird somewhere?" *Shows and points into a crumply wanted poster in Wheel's other hand. RE: Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Kyatai - 08-05-2013 *giggles* this sounds awesome! Great job! RE: Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Teardrop - 08-05-2013 That's a pretty witty write-up, and a believable background and development for someone that will play out as a "comedic" character...there are funny people in real life too, after all ![]() RE: Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Falkner - 08-05-2013 Thanks for the remarks, Kya, Tear, I really appreciate it! Hope to see you guys soon in game! Don't be too harsh on the poor Wheel ![]() RE: Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Kyatai - 08-05-2013 *grins* any idea where we will find Sir Wheels-a-lot? Or shall you make him on both Balmung and Gilgamesh? RE: Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Falkner - 08-05-2013 Hmm, Balmung seems to be an obvious choice for me so, yeah Balmung then. I wonder if giving Mr. Wheel a certain disposition against Miqo'te would actually bring more troubles than it seems because... it looks like the kitty tribe is going to dominate the majority of PC characters ![]() RE: Huh?

Sir Wheel is free to ask Chiané the location of his pretty birdie... ![]() RE: Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Falkner - 08-05-2013 (08-05-2013, 08:12 PM)Teardrop Wrote: Quite an acceptable answer Yay! Balmung! (08-05-2013, 08:15 PM)Kyatai Wrote: Well then... Sure! Wheel will do that if Chiane is hanging out somewhere in public. For Miqo'te PCs though, I don't think Mr. Wheel is keen on approaching an individual Miqo'te no matter how tempting. He learned his lessons that stray cats are best left alone, especially if it's regarding a furry, flighty subject. They do shenanigans! Eh, I can't really say the bird is pretty. From the doodles on the "wanted poster" that Wheel brings, it is supposed to be "Strange looking... bird? It seems to be an airhead, a dork, or both!" ![]() RE: Huh?

Don't know if you noticed from the various surveys or postings of player's characters, but Miqo'te are the dominant race on Bizarro-Eorza...as thick as flies on a roadkill ![]() Don't worry, Duskwights are good at standing in the shadows, then jumping out, stamping their foot, and "hissing" at them...usually sends the typical cat-person into their straight-tail fear posture, followed by a run in the opposite direction ![]() Well, it works on actual cats, at least ![]() RE: Huh? A Ferris Wheel? - Falkner - 08-05-2013 Hey hey that sounds like fun! Should be applied to a light RP situation sometimes! ![]() That big guy Wheel is surely be interested in doing pranks like that with you, although I bet that he'll fail pretty much miserably because of his large frame (which negates the hiding act), or his ever-rumbling stomach, or the smells of Shrimps in his lunchbox... nor did he has the subtlety of his shadow-dwelling Duskwight pranksmate. ![]() RE: Huh?

Should be approaching one with caution too then ![]() Hope to meet you in game, Chiane! ps: finally gave in to the temptation and downloaded the character benchmark... |
