Hi everyone! Nice to meet you!
It's been a while since I've roleplayed in a mmorpg. The first time was with the NA release of FFXI. I joined a LS called Children of Altana on Asura. After a few years I moved on to other (non-rp) Linkshells for endgame content and played several other mmorpg's. Ever since I was wondering why no other game could beat my experiences in FFXI. Yoshi-P referred to that effect in one of his letters as -the first love syndrome-. He might be right, but then I realised something else. Perhaps it was the roleplaying aspect that made my experience so incredibly intense in FFXI.
As I really want such gaming experience back and really want FFXIV to be part of that, I'm thinking about returning Tyre into his old roleplaying habitat. He will be more or less the same kind of guy. I wrote a brief summary about who he was on another forum yesterday. I'll post that here to give you an idea what I like to bring back to life in FFXIV.
Tyre is an oddball, a goof and happy chap. He is supposed to excel in the use of magic by nature, but he always messed things up. Setting the house on fire with wrong aimed magic, flood his own room or accidentally freeze his father. One day he rescued a warrior from the north from a goblin attack by hitting it with a sickle (reading my old stories back it was a sword actually)Â he used to harvest in the field. Ever since Tyre trained mainly in melee combat and years later practised darker magic again. Back in the FFXI days he was a Dark Knight; in FFXIV he'll continue his career as a Lancer.
I always imagined Tyre as a bit clumsy, a clown, a jester perhaps, a harlequin. Although he's not the brightest kid in town, he's kind, forgiving and helpful. A loyal friend and someone that can make everyone smile, even when they're going through rough periods. I guess his theme could be rather uplifting, happy and perhaps a bit silly. I always remember him in an almost slapstick kind of way. All his heroic deeds are based on sheer luck or coincidence.
As my native language isn't English and I'm not a very experienced roleplayer I chose Tyre to be like described above. It made it a bit easier to mask little mistakes; Tyre's friends would just refer to him as being a bit silly; "Ah, don't mind the little one, he can be a bit weird sometimes."Â
My old FFXI stories are still saved on a website of one of my old CoA friends:

I really hope I can find a new home for Tyre. I probably shouldn't start too hardcore. A bit lighter and milder, so I can get into it again. ^_^Â
I'll play on two servers. On a normal EU server (new) with a non-RP character and Tyre on the unofficial RP server Balmung (transfer in progress). I might make a second character on the RP server too. While I was busy creating new names for characters (conform SE's naming conventions) I ended up making a whole family tree of a Mi'qote clan. I might as well make a story out of it.
Looking forward to introduce you all to that little weird Tar-I mean-Lalafell!
