Carina Hart || FFXIV Roleplayer and Bard

she chose freedom and love, over duty and war... and paid dearly for it...

Biography

Carina Hart, commonly called 'Cari' by those closest to her, is relatively new to Eorzea, having come from a distant world she speaks very little about. Having grown into her new world, she found comfort in the spotlight being the band leader for Wind-Up Nostalgia. In what little free time she finds for herself, she enjoys art.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Carina is on the taller side for the Hyur Midlander race she appears to be, with skin so fair and untouched it is hard to imagine she has any scars at all. Her hair is long, silvery white with natural lavender highlights. Her eyes are vibrantly blue with a touch of sparkle if one were to look closely.

NOTABLE SCARS & MARKINGS

Has a small beauty mark under her right eye. While not often visible, under certain unusual circumstances, Carina does have scars.

PERSONALITY

Painfully shy, Carina pushes herself into the spotlight, trying to be more and more comfortable around strangers. Look closely, and you may just see the tiniest hint of fear in her eyes as she strikes up a new conversation with someone she does not know. But a friendly smile and kind words, and she will find herself more at ease. She is optimistic, energetic, and often amused and awed by the simplest of things, lending to a very youthful spirit.

Bard

Carina began learning music from Frentis Rageborn, a bard she had come to admire from a distance (and would eventually marry), and he saw more in her than she saw in herself. Soon he was able to convince her to give music a try. She proved to be a very quick learner. Before she knew it, Frentis had her her accompany him and his Lalafellin wards on stage, challenging her to be in the spotlight. With more confidence in herself she began to work on writing her own solos, duets, and finally full octets. She now tours with her own band, Wind-Up Nostalgia.

Out-of-Character

I am known as Mei-mei (she/her), and have been roleplaying since 2012. My first roleplay experience was in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Before that, I started to write 'seriously' (for fun!) beginning in 1999 (I'm sure I just dated myself there). I have experience writing comedy, romance, action, and drama. And I especially LOVE world building.I enjoy an immersive roleplay vs. light/casual. I really like to tell stories and work on character development. I also like organic story telling, meaning I go with the flow of how my character speaks to me. And if something with my character can be done in-game, I'm all for it rather than just "assuming" it happened and everyone moves on.TL;DR - I want to RP 24/7 if I could. Immersively.Note: I am not my characters. They have their own opinions, thoughts and personalities. I keep OOC out of my roleplaying.

The OOC on Carina
Carina comes from an entirely different world/star, however, I am not roleplaying the world of Final Fantasy XIV as that world. If this poses an issue for you, then that's perfectly fine and we are not meant to be roleplay pals.Final Fantasy XIV Lore
I am not good with lore for FFXIV. I'm trying to learn as I go, so I design my characters with my weaknesses in mind. All my RP characters are not originally from the world of FFXIV, but I do not roleplay as if FFXIV is another world.My Roleplay Characters
If you happen across any of these characters, you've found me!

Roleplay Goal
To find a community of serious, yet fun, roleplayers to tell stories with and make friends in-character and out. I am an immersive roleplayer, so 99% of the time I am up for roleplaying. Please do not hesitate to approach me in-character (even without the RP tag on).Roleplay Preferences

RP Style:	Heavy immersive RP. If we can avoid OOC chatter in the middle of a scene, I'm happy (unless for consent/warning reasons of course). I use prose form often in /em. /say is for quick "Hey! How are ya?" dialogue (and YES, I use quotations for ALL dialogue). I'm also comfortable in party or tell chats for more private conversations. Obviously the /em descriptive writing is adapted for /party or /tell. I very much prefer the use of third-person POV when roleplaying. Saying something like "I wave to you", just feels uncomfortable and can kill a scene for me.
Immersion:	100%
Patience:	I'm a slow typer if I'm trying not to make typos. So please be patient and allow time to respond.
Age:	I prefer to roleplay with adults. No minors please.
OOC:	I will mark any out-of-character comments with (( )). For example: "Good to see you again, please sit with me." ((Phone BRB!))
RP Group Size:	I am most comfortable in smaller numbers and quieter settings.
Relationships:	I do romance roleplay very selectively. In the case of Carina, she is/was(?) married to Frentis Rageborn. And while that marriage is a question mark, she is not looking for a new romance. On any character, I am very open to friendships, bromance, enemies, frenemies, business partners, etc. The more connections, the more immersion!
Death:	No thanks.
Violence/Combat:	I'm a bit sensitive to violence, so I tend to avoid violence or even combat RP. However, with trusted RP partners it is a possibility.
Injuries:	Must be discussed.
Rating:	I am an adult, so I am open to most RP from light and funny to mature content and even difficult/controversial topics. But consent is key! I am very sensitive, and this goes back to my violence topic above, to sexual assault. This does not mean my characters can't discuss it (I'd prefer not to be the victim of it), but please give me a heads up warning. Communication is key, so /tell and let me know. My character's are also not saints and will swear, sometimes a lot. If you do not like this, then please let me know and I will tame it down for you.
Dice Rolls:	I am not a huge fan of this. Usually will only /random or /dice if in combat roleplay, but this is NOT a very smooth RP style for me. But I understand its need when in combat situations, but sometimes I may disagree with a roll if it doesn't fit my character's abilities. I RP in a "freestyle" manner rather than with technical numbers.
Real World:	When I roleplay, the things of our world do not exist. Memes, social media, pop culture, etc. I keep ALL these things OUT of my roleplay as they do not exist in the world where my characters exist. As an immersive RPer, bringing up things like this totally breaks the mood and will kill a scene for me.
Please Don'ts:	Nothing breaks immersion more for me than "Hey, how are you today? :)". How do you say :) in language? "Hey, how are you? smilie face"? Please avoid the smilie faces, "LOLs", and what not. I like my RP partners to have good grammar (dialogue excluded if for in-character reasons of course), punctuation, and spelling. That said, I'm also Queen Typo, so spelling errors are totally excused.
Godmodding:	If you "godmod" my character, meaning you make a motion or movement or say my character has said or done something and I did not post it first, I'm not happy. My characters are for me to control, not you. For example: You say /em says "Hey!" to Alara and she gives a kiss. EXCUSE ME? No she didn't! Please don't do this, its in poor taste.
Metagaming:	Metagaming is when you know something about my character OOCly and then turn it into in-character knowledge without your character being told. I can't stand this. Either we RP a scene where you learn said information or I just stop talking to you OOCly.
