Pretty new to RPing, and just today starting to work on a profile for the RPC Library. Back in the day I had a real PVP binge, and I was wanting to incorporate it into my character. My idea was to have him be an Immortal Flame who got sucked into the Frontlines skirmishes, and down the road was suspended for a reason I haven't quite put together yet. That time during he was suspended let him dip into the crime world, and even though the suspension's up and he'd be back, he'd be a lower rank (a la adventurer level, I think I saw something about free brigade?) to give more wiggle room for more criminal or just FC shenanigans.Â
So what I was curious about is if this was something I could do, and what the actual lore is behind Frontlines. I always assumed it was some sort of training or mock battle, but I do remember a bit in the story about a lalafell trying to get some mega weapon I think?
The concept looks fine to me. I didn't see anything that looks infeasible.
for the Frontlines, Carteneau is an area that was damaged during The Calamity, 5 years before a Realm Reborn takes place. It was a battleground between the Eorzean Alliance (Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, and Ul'dah) and tyhe Garlean Empire. The game will explain it bit in detail, but the general gist of things is that there's a bunch of Allagan relics buried beneath the land. Because the territory is unclaimed, all three major city-states wants a piece of it. In order to go about this without engaging in full-scale war on each other, the Grand Companies compete with each other, and that's how we got Frontlines PvP in game.
The Lalafell you're thinking of is Teledji Adeledji, who is one of the Ul'dahn Syndicate members. (Top 10 richest people in Ul'dah. ...think of them as like the 1%, but with actual political power).
