 | Hi all. I wanted to join on that post chain of "My character from start to now". I do change a lot, and so does my character, so I wanted to tell the story in the stages it has. 1- This is the earliest picture I have of my character. It isn't quite when I started playing, but it's the earliest I could find, on patch 3.4 release in 2016. I played a pretty macho grizzled white guy human.... The bald look was about the most interesting thing about this character. When I first started playing in late 2015 he looked almost exactly like Godbert Manderville, I even liked the pince-nez as you'll see. 2- Through most of College I kept my guy looking fairly similar. Here he is in early 2019 looking quite cool in his machinist gear. 3- In College I started feeling like the standard looking guy just didn't fit me. I had played around with different races a few times, Au Ra and Rogadyn mostly. But never for very long. One of the ones I stuck with longer was this Rogadyn "Dutch from Black Lagoon" sort of look. I did kind of like it, even it still didn't scream out to me in a meaningful way. Here's me in mid 2019 just after shadowbringers release 4- Of course I had to try out Hrothgar when it came out. I even kept most of the same glamours as on my Rogadyn. Pince-nez and all. 5- In early 2020 I tried something that didn't seem all that weird to me. Lots of people play female characters, girls or otherwise. Why would this be any different? A lot of boys said they played a female character because they wanted to look at someone hot. So I thought about that and made this Rogadyn Girl. To this day I love her. It didn't quite trigger the awakening you might expect. That's coming, but not yet. I liked this character, but it still wasn't me. And I wasn't expecting it to be, I figured the feelings I had of my characters being more or less like me was the same as everyone else. 6- Something playing a female character did make me realize. I actually really really liked being perceived as a little smaller. One of the reasons I decided to change off of fem Ro was a tension between being big and being cute. I tried out Miqo for the first time and it was almost there. Cute, small. It felt very nice. 7- By 2021 I had to finally admit to myself I was Transgender. I wasn't exactly sure what to do about it. But I wanted to play a more feminine character. I liked my old femroe, but I thought I could dip my toes a little further in that direction with a femzen. A little more cutesy, a little more feminine, but still wearing my old soldiery glamours, here's me still wearing the same machinist glamour I had since Stormblood. 8- By the end of 2021 I found what I thought was my home. FemRa is so cute. It made me feel so cute. I loved it. I loved being short. I loved being dainty. I loved looking up at my tall friends and occasionally getting affectionate pats. This is only one image, because it's my favorite. But it represents by a narrow margin my most played character. I played a female AuRa from 2021 all the way until 2024 and a little bit on and off past that. This picture is from mid 2023 with my new portrait of my favorite character. 9- Of course I had to try Female Hrothgar when it came out. I love buff girls and I loved Wuk Lamat. I knew I wasn't going to play it long but I still had to try it. 10- It seems obvious to me now. But I feel like this was where all the sign posts were directing me. I love being small and cute. I love getting head pats. I changed to female lala at the end of 2024 and haven't gone back since. I love these posts, I hope this was fun to read. Much love to all _^ submitted by /u/GolddDusst [link] [comments] |
