Since creating this topic, there have been a lot of insightful truths into what roleplay is and what all of us are trying to create. With that said, I've been hoping to turn the focus back towards the original purpose of the thread and less on myself. I haven't been taking any of the personal comments as offensive or off base, so there is no need for all of those whom have asked me not to to worry.
Despite my wishes of not taking an IC role in founding any organizations at the present moment for the sake of not breaking character (not a question of in-game experience or level, Talathar, but the fact that my character is young and has a sister to look out for), I have stated in multiple posts my intentions of being fully involved in whatever projects require planning or support of any kind. I have not only ideas, but the process in which they may be brought about.
People have told me that we need more leaders and that I shouldn't be passive, but that has been the entire purpose of posting on this forum. I've been trying to keep myself in the background because I don't want to seem pushy, abrasive or as if I'm trying to dictate the direction of the community.
So please, before anyone else posts anything off topic, please consider the purpose of this thread. From this point, I would like to minimize my presence in this topic as much as possible and focus on the issue. Anyone who does not, please send me a private message and we can move that discussion elsewhere.
Talathar, in regards to your question, I would say I am moreso trying to emulate the structure of those Knights than the actual organization, but that type of rolepaly is very doable. With Limsa being one of the more rp-friendly spots, it could easily be done with an organization such as the Yellow Jackets (especially considering how easy it would be to reconstruct the uniform and the fact that they have an in-game headquarters in the Coral Tower)
The organization would likely have be a linkshell, being simply more flexible with admissions compared to FCs. Admission would probably be towards every class type with some sort of pretext of "Open to anyone who wishes to serve and protect". From here, it comes to gathering a few people join, even part time, to take place in training, patrol, etc that would be organized ahead of time.
For characters involved, it gives people something to play out, both on duty and off. Even outside of "Yellow Jacket Roleplay", the organization would become a tool usable in other's roleplays, whether planned or impromptu. There are some fine details to work out, such as how members would be expected to interact with others (largely about being open and understanding on an OOC level) but this is all just an example.
