Hello there, fellow roleplayers! I've been mulling over a vague idea for a while now and I could use some input, if you would all be so kind as to oblige me.Â
Essentially, I would like to form (eventually, I am in no rush) a Free Company that would be classed as a Heavy Military Roleplay FC. Now, that in and of itself isn't much of an issue, as I imagine there are some people out there that would be into such, judging from the number of them I've come across in the past on previous MMOs. The sticking point is the fact that it would be influenced by the Garlean Empire. What I mean by this is a focus on magitech and Allagan technology, and I would be drawing influence from what I've seen of their culture from the story. If given the choice, I would leap on the chance to just up and play a Garlean splinter faction, but I know that that would be essentially unplayable.Â
So. Any ideas on how to make it work and be lore friendly? Any input, advice or anything at all, really, would be most welcome. Is a group that is focused on magitech plausible? Would they even have access to it? What level of magitechnology would be considered to be acceptable? Also curious, but is it established at all if the armour worn by the Garlean elite warriors powered armour, of sorts, or is it just fancy normal armour? I ask because in one of the scenes I could swear I hear some whirring noises when one of the top dogs moves his arm.
