Ul'dah Underground - lady2beetle - 07-25-2013
In developing some character connections, and considering some character development options, I've become very interested in the underbelly of Ul'dah. So far, I know three of us who will be involved in the street gangs and the less legal side of the Platinum Mirage: myself, Klarimel and Zarek. Is anyone else interested or planning on that part of their character? If so, we should totally network!
Personally, Runa returned to the streets after her time with the pugilists to get revenge on the bullies that beat the crap out of her. After returning their attentions in kind, she kicked them out of their territory, then discovered the dirty truth of street gangs - that for every greedy bullish gangster, there are 10 orphans and streetrats just trying to survive. Runa filled the power vaccuum of that particular territory and turned her new gang into the most organized, structured and efficient gang Ul'dah has every seen (due to the education and military training that she doesn't even remember having). So! That's Runa - pugilist, goldsmith, miner and small-time gangster.
Who else plans on having a hand in the darker corners of Ul'dah! Come on, don't be shy!

Woot for more connections.
As for Zarek, during the time both before (about 7 or 8 years prior to) and the 5 years following the Calamity, he was anything from a gopher/messenger kid to a bouncer to paid muscle (with all that that entails).
Are we talking the time after the Calamity (Calamity to 5 years later) or are we including the time after the 'missing' 5 years as well? Once we get to the time after those 5 years, Zarek's actually leaving Ul'dah and going MIA/on the run as far as the Mirage is concerned, but he still might have a few contacts and people who owe him a favor or five if that helps.
Apologies for the rambling!

I guess I was thinking from release onward. So we could make connections and explore them in the future. It would be ackward, for example, to find 3 different people were claiming the same storefront as their gang territory. Inevitable, probably, but if we connect here, we can get our stories straight and maybe even get a gang war or two going! *cough*Klarimel*cough*

Gotcha. In that case, I wouldn't mind helping/being a part on the periphery for sure! There's no place like home, after all. Or is it that you can never go home again...

The character I'm working on has had an ear toward the shadier side of things while growing up on the streets of Ul'dah. Anything's possible!
RE: Ul'dah Underground - Kyatai - 07-25-2013
There was a drug runner Miqo... LowZ or something... (forget how he spelled his name)
Haven't seen him around recently though...
RE: Ul'dah Underground - Macey - 07-25-2013
Interesting Idea... how will this work for rp? All in the same LS or something?
RE: Ul'dah Underground - Aulairet - 07-25-2013
ahh finally a little dirt. I for one certainly hope there will be some shady dealings of some kind, makes things soo much more interesting.Â

The Red Hand Trading Company is a "legitimate" front for smugglers, couriers and treasure hunters of an underhanded to downright loathsome bent. We also employ investigators, collections agents, and enforcers.
We plan to have a main office in Limsa Lominsa or Ul'Dah (undecided) with satellite offices in the other plus Gridania.

Did someone say less than legal!?!?! Not that you gotta join, but you should talk to the members of Misericorde.
Isaac in particular. Grew up poor in Ul'Dah. Not a member of the local gangs, but well aware of territories, signs, etc. You kind of have to be, if you don't want to be gutted.

This may play well for use hahaha.

Yes! I have usually been more comfortable playing a criminal, but have steered away from it because I felt like there would not be enough connections in a Final Fantasy game; see as it doesn't really have a strong criminal theme to it. I am definitely interested in this and since I am already planning on altering my character a bit I will definitely get in contact with some of you so I can have some connectionsÂ

Rosa is a guild of "Treasure Hunters" (Spelled t.h.i.e.v.e.s.) that actually has it's base beneath Ul'Dah. Sienna and a few others are a part of that. The more honest of the "family" like to consider themselves the darker shade of grey.
