    I always name my characters Sam, Samuel, or Samantha in any game I play, a sorta extension of myself, it sounds kinda selfish but in games with character creation I prefer to play as myself as I already play quite a few games with named characters, are the Sams all the same one Sam? Probably, considering it's myself I'm playing as lol.

    I'm also not into RP at all, even to the point of creating a headcannon for my characters, probably won't change too.

    I got four characters:


    Eclaire de Wynter: my main, she's an aspiring hero who wants to do good. Essentially your Shonen Protagonist plagued with self-doubt of herself, her skills, and her dream. Gets better, but some things are hard to run from. Her motivations are to be a hero that inspires another generation of heroes - not for glory, but so there's always people who are willing to do the right thing. She knows it's silly, and probably downright impossible, but what is a hero but one who makes the impossible possible, and becomes a miracle?

    She's both the hammiest but most genuine of all my characters.


    Kagura Sumeragi: I made the sweet, kindest, most caring person I could and leaned back to say "how do I fuck him up" and I proceeded to create a myriad of terrible issues that made a broken boy with extreme self-confidence issues who feels he deserves nothing. He's gotten loads better thanks to people he's met but he is Daddy Issues: The Anime as everything pretty much leads back to his dad being a terrible person who snapped thanks to Garlemald's occupation of Doma. He is really sweet and kind but has trouble with speaking Common and is very shy. But once you get him comfortable he's very loving. I jokingly call him a living plushie because he's warm and loves hugs.


    Kyrie Nightshade: An utter dumbass whose sweet, sincere, and a bit clingy. Was homeless for awhile after Bahamut yeeted her family, the farm, and her life away, leading her to Ul'dah. Thankfully it seems all my tragic backstories get happier futures inRP! She really has no "aim" like Eclaire (and to a lesser extent, Kagura) and just goes with it.


    Freya Vyralia: I went for something different from my others. Confident, not shy, fairly outgoing, and a bit more...down to earth. She's a Viera, a Rava, who despises her peoples' traditions after they took her brother from her, and left to Rabanastre....where Garlemald took it over because she's 70ish right now, so she saw it all. She saw the city razed and was captured because hey, she's a rebel! She eventually escaped and got to Eorzea, where she's looking for a purpose now.


    I RP a lot, so my tragic backstories just. Don't stay tragic. Which is good!

    Most of the time, I just go with the flow of the provided story and leave his life before his arrival to Gridania (my starting city) open and ambiguous, even in my head-canon.

    However, one thing is for certain - for most of his life, he hasn't had much to do with other Miqo'te, even from his own tribe.

    He might not even realize he's a cat man.

    Main story kinda rail roads you into the hero path. I usually prefer to play bad guys or anti-heroes in it for the profit if given the option.

    A lot of creativity here. There's always the pre-scripted identity of the mighty here in MMORPGs, but taking a character out of that for a broader or deeper identity can really open things up.

    Thanks for helping make the FFXIV community a fun and welcoming place. If you're not sure you have (and you very likely have), make it a point to be patient or helpful the next time you log in so that you can know you've made a difference.

    If you're on the Aether data center, congratulations! I might be your next exciting adventure healer in the Duty Finder. Please look forward to it.

    I have tons of alts, only one of them is the WoL.

    I tried for my WoL to be as close to canon as possible, and let the game be the one that writes his story instead of me. So he's a strange Midlander who woke up in Gridania, with no real memories of his past life. He's friendly, eats a lot, loves challenge too much for his own (or anyone else's) good, and is not a heavy thinker. Basically, the WoL haha.
