Hi, I suppose I should introduce myself, right? I'm Tighnari. Though I suppose I should go by F0x here? I'm not quite sure how this works.

At any rate, I'm pretty new to games like this, so any help would be appreciated. I'm a Wood element Steam Gunner, if that makes any difference. Nice to meet you all.

I would hope so. It's sort of my job.
Do you think you'll be okay? Hopefully the learning curve won't be too high.

[uh oh, it seems the senpai power hour lecture has been triggered here]

The purpose of your online handle is mostly so that you can maintain some privacy offline outside of these games: you wouldn't want potential strangers to try to find you if they dislike you for some reason, even if it's as simple as "because I'm annoyed you got the best loot before I did" in games like these.

Not that you should distrust every single person you meet here, I mean! This is merely just some advice to keep in mind when interacting with people here, unless you are already friends offline, or are comfortable enough after some time with sharing an easier name for your online friends to call you by! I certainly know that my handle here can be a mouthful for some people, so I'm usually okay with people calling me by my name after we've gotten to know each other better!

It is! Here's to hoping that we both have plenty of fun~

[notfunny]

It does! It's amazing! I can't wait to spend more time in it.

But it'll be even better with you.

i eyezoomed on your question to mods in discord. haru is also interested in plants...

[rebelles]

There's plenty of scenery to admire. The gamemakers are certainly imaginative.

[veardant]

That's fair. A lot of people are really into it.

[ ........... oh. ]

I see. I'm sorry, I hadn't meant to pry.

[veardant]

No, I.. should stick with Fox, even if I feel a little silly about it. Might as well commit.

[ he's not geeky enough for this!! he's a plant nerd!! ]

[veardant]

A friend. He's really into video games, and he convinced me to try to get into the beta with him - it worked out, I suppose. How about you?

[veardant]

Don't worry, I'm a fast learner, but I'll reach out to the forums if anything baffles me too much. Are you a streamer?

[veardant]

Believe me, I understand. I suppose I just don't see the danger in revealing my name. Anyone who would really want to track me down in real life that badly could surely do it without needing to know my first name.

[ he's also. just. kind of fearless. ]

But I don't particularly want to go against popular culture, either. If the masses say I should use Fox, then Fox it is.

[veardant]

See you out there, then.

[veardant]

[ cyno.. cyno please. saying things like that!! ]

Mhm. It'll be fun. 🦊

[tot]

Hopefully you won't be the first person to have a problem whenever you do.
And I am! Nice guess.

[insinning]

It's fun, I think. Like a second identity.

[One of us, one of us]

yeeesss plant buddies!! tighnari is a botanist/mycologist, he is so into plants..

[veardant]

Imaginative, yes, and incredibly skilled. I can't wait to see just how much they've drawn from life, especially when it comes to flora and fauna.

[tablescraps]

You didn't. I was the one who disclosed the information. It doesn't really bother or affect me much, anyway.

[dapples]

It could be! I hope it is ^_^
What class are you?

[fatalitea]

Like I said, it's mainly for personal security, so if you feel that you are comfortable with letting people you trust know your real name, then that's fine too! It's just best to be careful in this day and age so that you don't get doxxed or something by anyone you don't want knowing your personal information.

All that aside, however, it's nice to meet you, Fox-san! I'm a thunder-element Steam Gunner myself, so if you ever need any advice or help regarding our character class, I'd be happy to try to help!

[notfunny]

Definitely! I promise I'll keep you safe while you look around, too.⚡

[veardant]

MY best friend is a streamer, so it was something of an educated guess, at least.

[veardant]

Maintaining one identity is hard enough, isn't it?

But all right, all right, I give. Fox it is.

[veardant]

Well, still..

At any rate, I do hope that you have some success. I'd be happy to party up with you sometime, though I can't promise I'll be any good.

[veardant]

I'm a steam gunner. :-) I practice archery irl so I thought it was the closest.

[veardant]

[ they'll have to agree to disagree on just how dangerous giving out only a first name can be, but he still appreciates her thoughtfulness. ]

It's nice of you to look out for others, at any rate. There can be a lot of negativity on the internet.

And I could certainly use the help, I've read all of my tooltips, but using these skills will be entirely different in practice, I think.

[veardant]

I'm counting on you, j4ck4l.
