Hi everyone!
Some of you may recognize me, some of you may not. For those of you who don't know me, hi! I'm Sylas Peregrine. I like long walks on the beach, violent-ass-violent RP and playing characters that are on the slightly more gray side of the moral scale.
What does that mean, you might ask? Well. That means my characters are more often than not willing to do just about anything (within a certain code of personal ethic) to get paid. Whether that's hunting down a particularly ambiguous bounty, selling drugs (and maybe doing them whoops), saving a kitten from a particularly high tree branch or escorting a little girl to her lessons for the day. As long as it pays well and isn't likely to get him thrown out of the Eorzean Alliance, Sylas will likely do it!
While I'm definitely interested in RP for my character, this post isn't about that! This post is me bemoaning the lack of solid coordination off the forums in regards to some solid-ass criminal/morally ambiguous RP.
What am I going to do about it?
I'm going to start a linkshell. That's what. While I'm not entirely on board with the idea of an entire organization dedicated to doing moderately shady stuff (yet), I think an ingame resource for people to gather and discuss RP of the more questionable variety could be a boon.Â
So I don't have a bunch of credentials to throw at you. I don't have a lot of fancy words to try and persuade you to join my linkshell. Who reads that anyway? I don't.
What I do have is an idea that needs your help to succeed. For those of you that want to do something a little darker? A little more twisted, or even just plain ol' robbin' a bank? This is where you come in. Send me a message either ingame or on the forums. Let me know if you're interested in joining a linkshell that is OOC but built around the intention of getting likeminded people together to build character connections, get some plots rolling, and in general try to have a good time!
Of course, these things need rules. Even the most snarly-toothed, pissy and grumpy person needs a good set of rules to not bring society to it's knees.
0)Â This is not a democracy. While everyone's input is always going to be considered, the officers will always have the final say in a matter.Â
1) Don't be a dick. If I have to explain this, you might be a dick.
2) Keep the chat as PG-13 as possible. I don't want to have to say it, but criminal/shady RP does not have to include things of a sexual nature. If that's solely where your interest lies, this may not be the group for you.
3) If you ever have any drama relating to this linkshell, screenshots and bringing it to an officers attention is the quickest way to get it resolved. Who are your officers? the people with a gold/silver star next to their name.
4) This group is 18+ only. Simple as that. Sorry youngin's.
5) In-character actions yield in-character consequences. This is the biggest rule. This is the crux upon which RP of this nature hangs upon. If you cannot accept that doing something of a shady nature can, and likely will, get your character in trouble--this is not the group for you.
Now that the rules are out of the way, that's that! If you have ANY questions whatsoever, feel free to reach out to myself (Sylas Peregrine) either ingame or on the forums. Lafiaht Dwinani and Xavarian Mystrife are my officers, so feel free to bug them as well! Invites are at our discretion currently, but we're nice! I swear.Â
(Lafi isn't. Help.)
