I suck at introductions, since crippling self doubt and paranoia, but what the heck, I'll get it over with.

Hi, I'm Al. While Zerachiel is a Photographer IRL and Miina is a graphic design artists, I have absolutely no skills whatsoever, which essentially makes me a philosopher. Right now I'm finishing up my Master's degree in Applied ethics, and determining what the next step in my glorious career of writing books that no one will read will be. Or worse, people could actually read them and most likely decide to burn me at the stake for heresy, since ethics and actually making judgments about human actions and morality is liable to rustle a few jimmies.

I've played FFXI in the past, but never managed to accomplish very much, partially as a result of trying to do the whole "static party" thing (which is extremely difficult when no one was ever on at the same time) and not being the sort of social go getter that organizes large scale content. I tried World of Warcraft for a while, and while it was pretty fun and the mechanics always improved with every expansion, my heart has always been more in Final Fantasy. Needless to say, 1.0 was a big disappointment.

I've got quite a bit of tanking and raiding experience at this point, having done heroic raiding content back in wow, and it's nice to see that FFXIV adopts a smaller more tight knit raiding group 8man style as opposed to the 25 mans that always made things feel impersonal and semi-chaotic. I'm looking forward to trying out the hard and even extreme mode content at some point, if I can find a good group to join or put together, but first I'm going to be taking it easy having fun getting to the endgame with Zer and Miina, enjoying something that I think beats WoW in every respect so far: The story.

Right now, I don't have any good photographs of myself or my activities to share. I'm horribly camera shy as I don't really consider myself very photogenic, nor am I a huge social media twittery type LOOK AT WHAT I HAD FOR LUNCH kind of person. But if you're looking for a well-reasoned argument, or a lecture on the historical foundations of various ethical/religious (hard to separate the two) ideologies, and WHY THEY ARE ALL WRONG AND NO ONE IS RIGHT, I guess I'm your guy.

Looking forward to making friends with and subsequently alienating you all.

Hahaha. I can't wait to be alienated.Welcome to Espers!

Hey guys! You may know me in game as Mahotsukai Tamashi, or Maho for short (a nickname that everyone in whole freakin' universe calls me). My "real life" name is Aleksandr/Alek (or Aleks, Alecks, Al, Alexandra, or whatever because I stopped caring years ago). Anyways, I had been part of the Espers around 6 months ago and had gone on hiatus just before 2.1. I'm back now, so there ya go. The only experience I've had playing MMOs, was Runescape back when it wasn't utter garbage. I didn't know what a tank or DPS was, so I just picked one of my favorite FF classes: the black mage. If I were to ever show up in Mumble, then I'd probably sit around quietly and throw out some sarcastic remark every once in awhile. Anyways, there isn't much to know about me, except that I'll be attending college this upcoming fall, I'm not exceptionally good at anything, I'm a more reserved person, and at times I can be pretty blunt. Hope we can get along.

Picture, I guess….

"Welcome" Taraske and Maho, although you both have been around for a while. Glad you made it to the forums!

Don't be afraid of mumble, everyone is really friendly. I often don't speak at all, so feel free to lurk with me.

Taraske, that is such a good picture, you look like a model!

Hiya! I'm Una Polaali, or Una in other words. My "real life" name is Megan and I wont bother going into nicknames that I have. I'm new to this company, I joined a two weeks or three weeks ago I believe. I've played some of TERA, Guild Wars, and a lot of WoW, and those are really my only experiences with mmos. I generally play a healer so when I started FFXIV I ended up trying out dps this time and thought being a summoner sounded cool cause I had pets.(Though luckily you can be all the classes cause I've found I suck at dps)

Umm, if I ever get the courage to go on mumble and sit around I probably wont talk at all since I'm not the bravest person ever at talking to new people. However I wont mind just sneaking in and listening. :] Perhaps one day I'll join in the talks! Anyways, I'm currently enrolled in college and working towards a Computer Science degree~ Some things you should know when talking to me: I'm blunt, crazy, and quiet(I know weird combination). Oh and very very sarcastic which some people find hard to read. But ya that's pretty much it, I'm not majorly interesting! I hope we get along well! :3
