My hubby and I met in the 90s in a Vampire the Masquerade IRC chat room. So we've always done our own personal roleplay, building our own worlds and setting up family legacies and such. All my characters are from this background and we've made our RP characters in MMOs since EverQuest. My hubby and I enjoy Percy Jackson, so we had run of characters who followed that concept. Thalia's dad was the child of a god, Poseidon in her case, and because of that she has an affinity to water. Her goddess is Llymlaen and her name is a reference to the Greek Grace/Charity. In RP she was tall and athletic and used a bow, so archer was perfect for her when I started. And while Roe didn't fit my mental image of her, Highlander did. So, she became a Thighlander. I had just BRD and then WHM for her, as a sort of battle cleric skill she picked up. When she started gaining more classes, I incorporated that back into her RP. She's a future leader of a nation of 13 cities (long story) and now I have each city specializing in one of the XIV classes and where she has to master them to kind of "prove" herself to them. So while I don't RP in XIV, it has gone back and inspired some things in her original origin.
