Welcome to the RPC!

I need to do one of these! Super job Gerik, as always~

Welcome to the RPC! Let us know if you have any questions!

SEXY ENDRI! <3

I wish you guys legit put this much effort in to your wikis. And I have no energy at all to write up anything fancy. No... energy... at all... ARC/BRD, LNC/DRG, THF and that's pretty much the basics...

New wiki is going to be much better for lore, and much more organized. It will be up soon, just waiting on a particular image from a particular person before I stab themmmmmm~

*insert witty welcome here* X3 let us know if you have any question~ :3

Deir is actually the same as Rhio, TOTALLY DIFFERENT from what she is now, it's kind of adorable. Actually a lot of people are telling me they are missing out, so I'm going to update the OP with the posts as we go so people can read. Keep refreshing for updates!

Updated with the opening post~! Please note I am already inviting people to the group so please let me know when you want in!

Always love seeing your stuff, so excited for RP~

It's going to be fun! If anyone needs the time to be earlier please let me know, I am working from home today and can accommodate.

Lol SE be trolling. And Arr matey, it be the the sea in our bones causin' thee changes!

COME ONE COME ALL! I'm going to host up a non-cannon RP session via Skype tomorrow, and as per usual there are conditions! With inspiration of background RP (and the subsequent 12 year old picture I am drawing of Deir) the RP is going to be set in the 12th year of your characters life, so we're all the same age. If you want to be a different age, that of course is fine as well as it's all just for fun! I will post the opening blurb in this post before the indicated start time to set the scene if anyone needs to come in later! When: April 1st, 2013 @ 7:30/8:00 PM EST Start Time Where: Skype Group Who: Everyone is invited (participating or watching, but no OOC) Message me on skype (s058linda) for an invite! ----- (Here is the opening post for those of you joining the RP tonight. If you end up joining after the adventure has already begun, please make your entrance something creative like waking up in a locked room and banging on the door for us to find you, or something like falling out of a closet, ect. Remember! The majority of us are going to be our characters at age 12, but you can pick any age you desire. If you have any further questions please post them here! Thanks~) The last thing you remember is falling asleep. Whether your parents tucked you snugly in, with your chocobo down pillows, or a pile of leaves was your bed this eve... Perhaps it was a loved ones arms you were in... or the cold stone floor... Whomever... wherever... what mattered is that all of it was gone now, and alone now, a whole other place emerged. Must, greets little noses. Decay, rotting wood and cloth, is heavy in the air. A house- no, much larger than a house. A mansion, dimly lit by only the fading glow of the moon beyond curtains. The foyer, is where this adventure begins... Once heavily detailed, woven carpets of faded colours stretch in to the house from the locked and chained door, branching off three ways; left, right, and forward up a giant flight of stairs. No lights are lit in the scones littering the walls, nor the candles of a dust filled chandelier hanging high over little heads. Portraits, also hanging on the walls, are too shadowed to make out just then. The few pieces of furniture in the foyer are tattered and worn, but still more elegant than any common furniture, and behind the cycles of unkempt varnish, gold trimmings are still visible. Wind whispers through the rafters, the creak of the house shifting the only thing audible beyond the beat of your own heart... But... are you alone...? (RP will be posted below, refresh for updates)

I had this particular event happen to Deirdre. She was an undercover Garlean spy for the longest time, and ended up joining a shell called Everwatch well after she had abandoned being a spy 'for the good side'. After establishing relationships and ranking within the shell, it was eventually let out that she was a spy (even though she had stopped working for the Empire). As a result, she was cast out of the shell, and probably 85% of the members still think she is on the bad side and are wary of her. It really depends how you play it out, but it's more fun going along with what would happen to your character than planning your character around being in a particular shell. When being an antagonist, you have to be prepared for people to hate you. That being said, being in a linkshell isn't going to make or break your RP. A lot of us are freelancers, and some of us get more RP than those in shells! So far, I have not seen a villain shell, and I really don't know how that would go over.

Rule one of being a villain: Don't tell people you're gonna be a villain. Hehehe. I've seen a few people do it (and been one) and it's definitely a hard thing to do. Most people will not tell you if they are though, it's much more fun when it's a surprise.

Welcome! Of course if you have any questions please let us know!

Welcome back~

Welcome back~

Welcome to the forum! If you have any questions, please let us know! So many lurkers~

Better if you inquire with Xenedra via PM regardless, I could very well be wrong as the forum does not list when posts are edited. Edit: Lies, the posts show when they are edited at the top. Still inquire with Xenedra.

Hmm... yeah ok.

Some people are certainly going to be normal citizens within RP, but I also extensively mentioned where they weren't. And I think it's incredibly weird you'd try to equate adventurers with slave. Like, that's not only bizarrely wrong, that's pretty offensive on top of it. Slaves are people without power, agency, who don't receive pay, and more importantly, who are horribly oppressed. Equating adventurers -- people who slay monsters, do odd jobs, and otherwise act as mercenaries -- to slaves is just... incomprehensible tbh. If you re-read my post, I'm not making specifics. Of course there are going to be characters who are not adventurers. But, the fact is, I've roleplayed all through 1.0 and I know a good portion of the RPers and their characters. ALMOST all of them are adventurers. My example of slave v adventurers is again, a broad example, and not to equate on specifics. It came from the very fact that adventurers are expendable, and the game NPC's will even tell you that. There are some who actually sneer at you because you are an adventurer. I'm equating a slaves social position, at the bottom of the food chain and easily replaceable as well as doing all the dirty work, as alike an adventurer. As Aysun pointed out yeah, there is the total ability to move up the food chain and change the view of the people saying those things. As an aside to your point about Grand Companies, they DO NOT lodge or feed their adventurers, and would balk at the idea. The only place that does this, which is not really affiliated with the Grand Companies, is the Adventurers Guild. Even then, you have to work really hard before getting access to a room with merely a bed, and they defiantly will not feed you. Eorzean culture, while having small pieces of our own (obviously), is it's own. We're using terms to be able to relate to it, and broaden our ideas of social status, which exists in Hydaelyn. While you can compare certain things like machinery and what-not to per-industrial eras, it's not the same. Their industrial stages could have gone completely different from ours (and did because well, we didn't come across giant ancient technology and use it to our advantage). I corrected you because of the blatantly obvious correct spelling all over the website. I'm not trying to get in specifics here, but I personally like my Eorzean related words spelled correctly. In agreeance with Kylin, and as I was trying to get to all along, semantics. Vote in the poll or don't, but don't to come in here saying things about Eorzean culture that aren't really correct.

Welcome to the RPC! Don't be shy~ We get lots of lurkers If you have any questions, please let us know!
