Hello and Welcome to Artifice!! I just want to say thank you for joining us, and I hope to make this experience and stay for you fun and awesome. :smiley: Down below are just a few rules I require everyone to abide by so that we can have a fun and enjoyable experience while we RP and get to enjoy and experience FFXIV together. General Rules - No harassment of any sort. This includes, but is not limited to, unwanted sexual advances, threatening, and otherwise things can be considered an attack against another player. This is meant to be a fun and social environment for all, so let us collectively keep it fun and friendly! - We are an 18+ FC. That being said, it is fine to be lewd and curse, just be within reason. No overtly sexual or violent talk within the Discord, LS, or FC talk. If you’d like to have such conversations please do so in tell. - Avoid religious or political discussion. Such conversations are fine in private, but both subjects can be a bit touchy, and therefore should be avoided in the public chats.(edited) Roleplay Rules - Please keep OOC and IC separate. The fun of RP is that we get to act out characters and make a story, so please keep that in mind. If you have a problem with the person OOC whom you are RPing with, keep it out of RP, and if it comes to be an issue, please contact myself or one of the officers on Discord or IG. Please respect others’ boundaries. If you would like to commit a crime against another person, such as seriously hurting them, sexual assault, etc. Ask the person beforehand to see if it is okay. Some people are okay with anything happening to their character within reason, and some do not want to be touched. Make sure to ask and know your RP partner. No public ERP. I do not mind ERP, as it helps deepen character bonds with one another, but if you wish to do so keep it in private. Also, please do not solicit your character to ERP for gil. When you wear our tag, you represent the entire group, so please keep that in mind when you are RPing out in the world of Eorzea. Avoid purposefully metagaming or godmodding another character. If you do not know what this means, please contact myself or an officer and we will better explain the terminology.

LOCATION: Costa Del Sol DURATION: Til Further Notice STATUS: Some of the crew is MIA, wherabouts unknown. MORALE: low, but must perservere OUR STORY SO FAR: With the heist of the airship on the crews' minds, Moneva would start to develop a plan on which to take the airship, thinking of various methods of taking on the Castrum in Mor Dhona. Upon the recruitment of a freelance engineer by the name of Kehda, the crew would come to learn that the Castrum they had hoped to infiltrate had more security than they hoped to deal with. With the information from the engineer, the crew would make the decision to make their way to Wineport the next eve, learning that Castrum Occidens harbored the treasured prototype, without the increased risk of security. Staging as nobles and guards for the company as a diguise to seek refuge in Wineport, the crew would journey their way from Gridania to the location along with the help of the engineer and Moneva's sister-in-law, Ylva.(edited) Despite Moneva's eagerness to steal the airship, tensions would be high amongst some of the other members, some disagreeing with the Xaela being guards for the disguise, others questioning the leadership of the Captain upon hearing she was married to a Highlander, as well as some losing respect, if not all, by her acceptance of becoming an exile to her people, causing the arrival to Wineport to be anything but a fun experience. As Kokegal would confront the Captain over his brethren's broken nose from her confrontation with Dorbentei suns ago, the relationship between the two would be shattered, and with it, the loss of Kokegal, Dorbentei, Alvachir, and Sapphira from their company. With tensions high, frustration evident, and hearts wreched, the remaining crew would have no choice but to station at Costa Del Sol instead, their cover blown after the confrontation in the wine country. With the newfound pain, the Captain would accept her exile, accept her loss, and move on, her voice ringing loud and true to her company to tell the others she was no longer a Qestir: She was Moneva Farron.

LOCATION: New Gridania DURATION: Til further notice STATUS: few tensions between members, some injured and seeking medical attention, one member is in an unstable mental state: Keep caution. MORALE: tense between some members, otherwise relatively friendly.

LOCATION: High Bridge (Eastern Thanalan, x: 21.4 y:21.0) DURATION: One sun. (one day oocly, til 9pm est Jan 17.) STATUS: One of the crew is extremely ill, some of the others are slightly injured, but generally fine. MORALE: tense, but relatively neutral. __ OUR STORY SO FAR: __ After recruiting and setting up a stable group of crew members within the past few weeks in Ul'dah, Moneva and few of her crew members make preparations for the start of their infamy: Stealing an airship. Moneva hears wind of the Castrum out in the Shroud having a delivery of a new prototype of Combat airship to test out in the fields, finding it to be the perfect opportunity to take hold of their first ship. Catching wind of rumours about a Xaela teen attacking the fellow Xaela out in the city of Ul'dah, Moneva decides to send her group ahead of her with the assistance of Yara her new assistant, much to the group's displeasure. Upon exiting out of the city, the group encounters a few places of interest along the way to rest, in which a mixture of typical rowdiness and tensions ensue before making their way forward once more. Later on in their travels, the group encounters a fork in the road which causes Yara to split up the two groups respectively; One to go left, and the other right. One of the two groups stumble upon a new face named Rosalinde, offering her assistance to protect the group as they would travel, causing the group to welcome in a new valuable asset to their ranks. For now, the crew of the Vice & Virtue are camped at HighBridge til next sundown, tensions rising between some of the crew members. Would they manage to handle one another during their travels? Well, only time would tell...

To keep a facade, a criminal must *always* know how to hide their vices, and shine with their virtues. That’s the mantra Moneva has lived with all her life in order to survive the harsh seas of the Far East. She was a dare-devil, a live-wire through and through and having grown tired of the seas she had conquered and of her homeland’s formal policies, Moneva set her sights to Eorzea. Upon having heard rumours of pirates attaining prospects of amassing large quantities of gil and infamy, she couldn’t refuse the opportunity and set sail by first light. Upon her findings, Moneva discovered a new “beast” to tame: The sky. With a burning passion deep within her veins, she made the decision to practice and devote her life to mastering the craft of sky-sailing, and all that came with it. Thus, the company called Artifice was founded.
