Role Playing Characters

[Midareyukki]

Just a curiosity/chatty topic. How many of you actually get into roleplaying in 14? What kind of roleplay do you do? What's your character like?

(I'm totally not making this topic to further procrastinate going to bed)

Tried it, but roleplay was mostly localized since Zodiark isn't all that with RP. Best I got has been in a Linkshell with friends and with my FC.

I generally tended to play two characters, though: my main, who's a Bozjan resistance veteran and his Garlean brother.

My main kept his father's gunblade and tried to learn how to use it once he joined the Resistance, and kept his father's values to heart. Not only was he traumatized by the events at Delubrum Reginae, he also got caught by the Ajora cultists who took to replicating Hashmal's sacrifice to revive Ultima. It failed, naturally, and he managed to resist the transformation long enough for the cure to be administered in time. Since it wasn't full-on tempering, it still worked. But his aether is a little wonky with fire and earth because of that, so he needs to be constantly monitored until the effects can be negated completely.

On the other hand, his brother was the exact opposite. He rejected his father's values. He saw Gunbreakers and his father as failures who "lied" to themselves and the population, pretending to be worthy protectors where they were just people in high positions with no idea what they were doing. Eventually it led to their incompetence (as he perceives it) when it came to protecting Bozja, and the loss of his mother. So he embraced Garlemald altogether in a bid for power and joined the IVth Legion. He's defected since the Civil War in Garlemald started. He hopes to take a group of Bozjans, Dalmascans and Landisians, as well as several other members of different legions, to take the broken capital and establish a new order with him as the leader.

But, again, didn't do much with them. Can't do much when there are no chances to explore that :|

My only major experience was serving/cooking in a coffee shop owned by Bozjan refugees in Eorzea. The whole thing was framed as trying to expand on Bozjan history and culture by serving food and making up the lore of how the dish came to be. Was pretty chill and wholesome if you ask me.

Well my offer of RP always stands haha. Feel free to add me on discord (Zebra #0489) if you wanna discuss further, maybe shadowing what my group does to see if it'd interest you enough to actually have an alt on Aether. Of course no pressure, having to make an alt because of region locking sucks lol. My group does rp all the time with random scenes and big plots. (Offer goes out to anyone too)

My character is from a hick farming village in Ilsabard that was occupied by Garlemald's army rejects, so horrible treatment etc. He fled, and now travels Eorzea as a traveling farmhand/animal healer. He's very shy but over the course of his time being RP'd he's somewhat overcome it and has managed to grow a bit of a spine. He also has a really bad habit of using himself as a shield for others, even when maybe not necessary.

I role play from the beginning as I pick my character(female Hyur) I role play as a sexy, dancing, Lara croft style, kik ass player. I main a healer, tank and red mage as I try to find the sexiest gear in the game and then dance to the most danceable music possible. I don't erp because all of them are control freaks and want to take all of your time bull shetting around. I put a red bow in my hair, a light steel galerus chest piece, and fishnet stocking from the golden saucer with beast style nails and last but most important 2b's long boots. This outfit fit's my personality as a girls, girls, to be female, to see female, and walk female.
