The history of XI:7 is a complicated one. I won't tell you the whole story, but I'll tell you what you need to know. In the days following the Calamity, XI:7 was born as a small weapons manufacturer that wanted to help rebuild the realm. The vision caught the attention of those clinging to the hope that Eorzea could begin anew. So XI:7 grew rapidly, too rapidly as it turns out.
The company flourished. It grew and expanded into more and more territories and business ventures. Everything from agriculture to establishing new trade routes and researching and developing the latest technologies. In my youth and my arrogance, I let the company fall from within. The empire collapsed, leaving nothing.
That was the first of many of my failures. I rebuilt the company again and again as it faltered and struggled. I held onto hope that those with money and power could be the ones to steer the realm into prosperity and peace.
The corporation has been quietly building once again. We now stand at the precipice of potential we once had. And now we set our sights to those that would overtake our homes. Garlemald.
We will defend Eorzea on every front. We will train soldiers to defend the frontlines. We will send out operatives to gather and use information to cripple the efforts of our enemies. We will develop and build better technologies to rise to any threat. We will do whatever is necessary.
We will rebuild Eorzea. And we will do it under the banner that swears no allegiance to any political power.
Noblesse Oblige.
I really like the guild flag thing, very nicely made!
Thank you very much! It is actually just a filler for right now. Me and my insanely talented friend are working on a more artistically stylized version.
8/7/2013 Update: Changed the name from "XI:7 Industries" to just "XI:7" to more accurately portray what the group is. The new logo will accurately portray the new name. Edited some of the text, and added further information to be clearer on some areas of the group.
This looks pretty interesting. Also, agree, the name and guild flag is great.

Thank ya kindly.Â
Hopefully we'll get to see you IC sometime!
(I'm still deciding things about my character, so I try not to be a lot IC yet :/ Taking the "listen before speaking" seriously)
The idea of being part of a sort of Shinra for the good guys, to paraphrase your original post is very very appealing. I'm still deciding where my character will fit into this world but I shall watch this with interest.

Yeah, definitely keep in touch. We're not so much concerned with getting members as we are just people to RP with. So even if your character wouldn't sign up, there is still some fun to be had.
If you're looking for mages to work with you on your schemes, I suspect Mysterium will be acutely interested -- especially if you're looking to push the boundaries of Aether shaping or investigating magitek. The Ivory Tower is always intrigued by magical research.
Perhaps we should chat about potential RP opportunities between our FCs.

Will do - actually, you've given me a bit of an idea. Reckon XI:7 could use a corporate lawyer? Vespino will definitely be the scholarly type wherever he ends up so maybe this could have some legs....hmmm. If not, be good to RP with your lot sometime.

A corporate lawyer? That actually sounds insanely awesome.Â
Let's chat sometime about your ideas. I think we could work out somethin' real fun.

Absolutely! Let's get together and brainstorm. I think this could potentially be really good for both our FCs. Let me know a time that works for you and we'll see what we can come up with.
8/8/2013 Update: Changed the tabs and their content, fixing many of the grammatical errors. Took out the [IC] portion of the text to add a full IC story background in the next update.
8/9/2013 Update: Merged "Why Join?" and "OOC" tabs. Added "The Story So Far" tab to include an introductory story. Added "Departments" tab to keep track of current departments made by our members.
8/10/2013 Update: Changed the text for the CRISIS Division under the "Departments" tab.
