EQUINOX «NOX» - Lio Desmond - 05-16-2017
![[Image: tumblr_otrpq1vpRH1u5t0qpo1_r1_1280.png]](https://68.media.tumblr.com/6b30fdaba322b1f6cbae443c52b12912/tumblr_otrpq1vpRH1u5t0qpo1_r1_1280.png)
EQUINOX is a neutrally-aligned Magitek and biotech organization, keeping pace with the Garlean Empire’s medical and technological advances. Company funding is maintained through public services (medical care, bar & lounge, entertainment events) and underground activity (black market trading, espionage, information brokering). Not all scientific endeavors can be pursued within the strict confines of a moral compass, and easy money is needed to remain two steps ahead of the competition. Medical breakthroughs and cutting- edge technology require fast access to a wide variety of items from all over the realm, and there’s no quicker way of obtaining these goods than by breaking a few hundred import laws.
Beyond its squeaky-clean facade, «NOX» owns a surplus of rare and exotic goods obtained through company-run expeditions and close ties to underground syndicates, smugglers, pirates, and drug + weapon cartels. Amid the company’s ranks are Garlean defectors and spies, often assigned to directly monitor and gather information on Garlemald’s current arsenal. This research and information is crucial to stay ahead of the game, and to keep the company and its clients prepared to challenge, overcome, and conquer any obstacle in the field of battle. Physical augmentation, also known as “transcendence,†is nothing new to the organization, and the company continues to apply its surgical knowledge to treat medical conditions, or offer sensory enhancement procedures.
«NOX» also focuses on acquiring ancient Allagan relics and recovering lost artifacts with the intent to study and reverse-engineer them. The company races to unlock the many secrets of Allagan tech, knowing the knowledge held within each creation could hold the keys to far surpass the competition, or possibly the Garlean Empire itself. The prospect of re-discovering the process of effective cloning, bio-engineering, and life-giving aether manipulation within the century may be improbable. However, the company continues to sustain its reputation of progress, invention, and community service.

Bashara : Precious jewelry, piercings & tattoo artistry.
Bashara originally established itself in Thavnir as an underground crew of collaborative tattoo artists offering quality craftsmanship, precision artistry and proper hygiene. Since then, their business has blossomed into one of the most renowned tattoo and piercing parlors in the world. Never losing focus on the roots of their profession, they’ve earned long-standing loyalty and respect from repeat clientele.
Combining both art and science, unconventional piercings and tattoos can be crafted to provide physical, magical, and spiritual benefits. Work stations are completely sanitary, and undergo thorough sterilization. Using unique mixtures of enchanted ink, body art can be enhanced with controllable bioluminescence, color-shifting, elemental attunement, protective signs (seals, amulets, symbols, runes, etc.), advanced materia melding, chi flow reinforcement, and more.
Each ink master on the roster is tasked with setting aside shift times to study art styles from all over the world, taking inspiration from traditional designs and keeping up with Kugane’s contemporary ink scene. Bashara’s clientele ranges from Eastern mob bosses seeking Irezumi sleeves, to young ladies wanting something small and decorative. We recommend booking a session in advance. For clients on a tight schedule, weekends are occasionally open for walk-ins.

EXOtek Bionics : The realm’s leading provider of cutting-edge prosthetic technology.
Our products aren’t the only complex bionics available on the market today. They are, however, the first to function by syncing and attuning one’s own aether to the artificial devices themselves. This gives our clients the freedom and ability to maintain direct control over each joint, allowing for real-time performance and kinetic movement. Through this method, we’re able to produce light-weight, durable, adaptable replacements for missing limbs.
Our products have gone through extensive field testing and are made using the latest tech and high quality materials. We offer maintenance and repair services for artificial spines, tails, limbs, eyes and other parts. It is our goal to serve citizens and adventurers seeking technological enhancements for rehabilitation, combat, and every day use. To schedule a consultation, please don't hesitate to message us. We will review your order and get back to you to discuss design details, pricing, and the necessary procedures to properly fit and calibrate your custom prosthesis.
* Our veterinarians have recently collaborated with EXOtek to craft mobility-enhancement devices specifically tailored to animal companions in need of physical assistance. We’ve synthesized beaks, fins, wing membranes, chocobo legs, and more.

Locked behind the company’s virtuous menagerie is a classified quarantine zone. An ominous collection of Voidsent and anomalous artifacts kept under solitary confinement. Each entity is securely contained, monitored, and thoroughly documented by our Sharlayan scholars and Voidologists. These researchers contribute to an expanding agglomeration of written knowledge pertinent to the ongoing analysis of the Void and its paranormal activity. Anyone wishing to undertake private study are encouraged to seek out our employers. Those who prove their worth may gain access to a voluminous collection of grimoires, anthologies, forbidden scrolls, and ancient incunabula.
