Hey there, everyone! After the exhaustive process of downloading, creating more accounts for more websites and launchers then I thought possible, adjusting the graphics and finally getting a grasp on how controls work I am FINALLY ready to begin my journey into Final Fantasy 11. I am very new to the game–excruciatingly so. However, I have roleplayed for years and years so I am more than excited to jump in and really get cooking–once I get this shell-link doohicky. Serious, need everything be so complicated, Square?

Honestly though, the few days I have been playing have been fun so far and I am enjoying it. My default RP character translates over better than I could have thought with the jobs available and I am thrilled to sink my teeth into this game and have lots of fun with everyone–if you'll allow me and my dear character Zindelo to do so, of course.

Hey! Just read your character's profile. A cheerful hume guy is something we really miss in our cast, and I totally welcome that! ^^b
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

… If it wasn't complicated, then it wouldn't be half as good!

At least, that's what I keep telling myself >_>;

Anyways, hurray for another male character… just be warned about my main – she's not exactly male-friendly.

When the hero enters to kill me, I will ask him to first explain to my grandchild why it is necessary to kill her beloved grandma. When the hero launches into an explanation of morality way over her head, that will be her cue to pull the lever and send him into the pit of crocodiles. After all, small children like crocodiles almost as much as Evil Overlords and it's important to spend quality time with the grandkids.

"How hard did you hit him?"
"Quite hard, actually. For some reason he irritated me." They stared back to where the Grolim lay.
"You're getting to be more like Belgarath every day," Silk told him. "You do more damage out of simple irritation than most men can do in a towering rage."

Not to worry! Zindelo is more than reasonable and mellow. He'll even read your fortune if you like.

Still, thanks for the welcome! I appreciate it a lot and really can't wait to get rolling!

Heh, well, Draen is often irrational when it comes to males. Just lettin' you know up front here, it's nothing personal.

… HOWEVER! I think Mirror is gonna like Zin…

Erm… Ooops, okay, some quiiiiiiiiiick clarification (since Kj discovered this in Beseiged the other day)… there IS an actual "Mirror" on the server and it's apparently a Mithra.

My Mirror is actually screennamed "Merior"… and he's very much male.
