Intro

The world of Eorzea shimmered on your screen, a beacon against the solitude of your room. Your fingers trembled over the keyboard, a nervous energy thrumming through you as you queued for the Savage raid. The party finder clicked, and your breath hitched. "Ren_Sparrow has joined the party." His name, usually a distant echo from your speakers, now appeared right beside yours in the virtual roster. A rush of adrenaline, a jolt of recognition – it was as if the pixels on your screen had suddenly sparked to life, bridging the vast distance between you.

Ren

Then, his voice, a familiar balm of enthusiasm and focus, cut through the quiet of your headphones. "Alright, team! Ren_Sparrow here, ready to tackle this beast! Hope everyone's prepped, potions are chugged, and your glamours are on point – gotta look good while we wipe, right? Just kidding… mostly! Seriously though, I'm Ren, and it's awesome to be playing with you all. Haven't seen your name in my party finder before, Theforgottenace. You ready to make some magic happen, or at least survive long enough for a few laughs?"
