“Cultivating Passion, Desire, and Decadence.” The Verdant Meadows <<VM:RP>> was created for those that find that character development and character interaction take utmost precedence when it comes to role-play of any kind. While our adult-theming of a "Pleasure House" comes with it's stigmas, it is our goal at The Verdant Meadows to contribute positively and create an experience focused upon the writing and relationships with both our members and the wider community. At VM:RP, our mission is to: Create an authentic, grounded experience that focuses upon the Pleasure House theme; where worker/client relationship focus upon the experience and character growth rather than a quick interaction. We, also, do not plan on expanding the theme beyond the business. This means no secret death cults or crime family using a pleasure-house as a front. Cultivate a community for both the Free Company and for the wider community. A place where The Verdant Meadows Lounge is seen as a home for our members and an entertainment and role-play venue for all players across the Crystal Data Center. For now, we're in a recruitment phase, so no public events are scheduled, but we'll be opening doors to the wider community soon! Become a venue to host private parties that collaborate between Free Companies or RP groups. The Verdant Meadows would play it's part in these events as hired Companions/Entertainers/Staff/Venue, but, ideally, would create a larger group RP event for all involved to enjoy. A good example of a cross-collaboration event would be a Bachelorette Party. What we're looking for: Companions of All Kinds: This isn't a simple courtesan role where you're character is to be treated like a product to be bought, but treated with dignity and respect. Events are lined up to give characters in this role the ability to further develop skills and talents: music, art, social etiquette, and, most importantly, how to defend one's self. In an IC capacity, our Companions have the freedom to select their own clientele: we hope this will encourage our Companions to feel comfortable including personal RP as apart of the larger "Verdant Meadows" story. Security (Limited Recruitment): Known as Custodians in our walls, the "security" role are individuals paid to see that our Companions are well protected within The Verdant Meadows and provide security should it be requested for matters outside of the pleasure-house. General Staff (Limited Recruitment): Not all who might wish to apply are interested in the "adult-theme" of The Verdant Meadows and, thus, we created the General Staff rank. We don't have specific positions to fill, but encourage players seeking this role to be creative! Chef, housekeeper, etc. It's a role to make your own. The Verdant Meadows is not interested in: Drama, Gossip, and/or Rumor Mongering: It should go without saying that these are undesirable traits. If you cannot share the spotlight, help foster inclusion with the members of this Free Company, or treat players as simply side-characters serving your OC’s story, then there will not be a place for you in The Verdant Meadows. We’re more than happy to bring the development you desire to your character, but not if it’s in a destructive manner. Being a Quicksands Alternative: The Verdant Meadows has an adult-theming, but this isn’t permission to treat it as anything less than any other Free Company. While we want mains, alts, and characters of any level, we’re not a place to park an inactive character. Furthermore, with a focus on character interactions and development, we’re not a place to get a quick ERP fix. Weekly "Life or Death" scenarios: High-stakes drama has it's appeal, but with The Verdant Meadows operating as a legitimate place of business, we are not looking to be besieged by voidsent weekly, participate in assassination plots, or constantly having members whom flirt with death while making it The Verdant Meadows' problem.

Greetings and Salutations! The New Year brought me back to XIV as well as a transfer to Mateus. I've been looking around and conducting my own research to find Linkshells/FCs/Discord Servers/etc. to continue my RP career here on the Mateus server. Any assistance or guidance would be very much welcomed. About My Character: The Elezen Sellsword was born to the nation of Ishgard. The man was raised in a military family with his father groom him and his brothers to take up arms in the Temple Knights. After a compromising circumstance, his faith in the Holy See and the Temple Knights vanished; leaving the Elezen questioning his own morality, but soon found his own uncompromising code to follow by. At first glance, The Elezen Sellsword comes off as an intimidating figure due to the stern expression always upon his face and the scars which are found across his face. The truth is that the Elezen Sellsword is simply stoic by nature. He is reserved and pragmatic; only showing heavy emotion in trying situations which require a more unleashed personality. Alignment Lawful Neutral RP Style Mature — Thank you, and have a good day!

Hi, Mai. I'm the Director for the Golden Auroch <<GA:Co>>. We have a balance between in-world RP with our newly developed "Job Board" prompts, as well as the slice of life aspects sprinkled in for non-combat-style characters. The theme of a trading company gives us the freedom to work with most characters. We are a smaller Free Company looking only to grow slightly, if that is something which would interest you. If you're still looking for a Free Company, you can find more information about our Free Company here! On that info page is a link to our Discord which will put you in contact with the current leadership if you have additional questions. I would love the opportunity to speak with you and see if the Auroch is the right fit! Thanks!

[align=center]Recruitment for Social is OPEN[/align] [align=center]Recruitment for Adventure is[/align] [align=center]CLOSED[/align] [align=center]A Free Company for adventuring types and social types, Clan Ventarus is a lore-abiding Free Company with two aspects to suit a different variety of RP character(s).[/align] [align=center]Focusing on quality over quantity, we aim to be immersive in our roleplay and build a strong community from it. See below of the adventure and social aspects that Clan Ventarus offers![/align] [align=center] [/align] [align=center]For more information or insight into the type of characters already in Clan Ventarus—please see our other tabs. If looking to join; please venture the section at the bottom labeled “How To Join”.[/align] [align=center]Our Roleplay Options[/align] Clan Ventarus had two aspects to what it can offer members. No character that joins is strictly limited to one aspect. Our social hub is designed for the casual RP’er or the “common folk” type characters that might not see themselves in combat. Our adventuring side is designed for individuals with characters that love to get out in the world and interact with the environment! [align=center]The Venari Alehouse (Social)[/align] [align=center][/align] Located at Plot 21 of the 15th Ward in the Lavender Beds,this building serves as the base of operations for Clan Ventarus. The business was opened to be a public watering hole for adventurers, monster hunters, and the common folk alike. A business is nothing without its employees! The Venari Alehouse is in need of waiters and waitresses, bartenders, performers, and more for staff. We are currently in preparations to host public events. [align=center]Clan Ventarus (Adventure/Hunt)[/align] [align=center][/align] Iverault Lachaunt wanted to rival that of Clan Centurio when it came to the world of monster hunting in the realm. With that goal in mind, he formed “Clan Ventarus” and based them within his second business—the “Venari Alehouse”. The alehouse was specifically designed to keep the Clan financially afloat during times of financial uncertainty. The Clan Ventarus is for those seeking to fight big, nasty creatures—rather for profit, for glory, or for their own satisfaction. Disciples of War and Disciples of Magic will find themselves comfortable here. Adventure events will take RP’ers out into the world of Hydaelyn—using a “Dungeon Master” style you would see similar in table-top RPGs. Do not fret! There is no complicated roll system involved. [align=center]How to Join[/align] [align=center]Joining is a simple process! Contact Iverault Lachaunt, Ashtrythe Faulkner, or Tahamine Ishtar in game or join our DISCORD! to have access to each of us outside of the game if schedules don't seem to be aligning.[/align] [align=center]A small interview will take place out-of-character to see if the Free Company is a good fit for you and, ultimately, for you to see if it is a good fit as well. We find that personal conversations do more than an application process ever could in getting to know one another.[/align] [align=center]We look forward to hearing from you![/align]
