Balmung is by far the most popular choice for an RP server. Even though its an NA server, there are lots of people from Europe on when the NA players are in bed or at school. With that said, the RP scene most everywhere else is pretty dead. Gilglamesh has an RP community but from what people I know have told me OOC, the community is dying or dead, so Balmung seems to be the primary and central server for everyone who RP's. IMO, I would recommend transferring over to Balmung for an RP community, but that's just me.

Inessa raises her hand in response, her facial expression not changing at the new arrival. "Need something Miss Aya? I am here to serve after all."

Inessa slides over Eva a feathered pen with a small ink pot that it's placed in. "The information is already present. We can speak of it now or later. It's of no consequence to me, but I already have an idea of what they want with the request of good's. . . or at least have an idea of what they want. There are many ways to look at how they want this, but this explanation should be saved for another time. One where you have ample time to provide to the matter if you so wish. . . though as for the matter of the price, this information is not exactly. . . how should I say this. . . easy to divulge. Not to mention that I am the best investigator I know of, and this information is not easy to come by. If that is all, or you have no additional requests, you may sign this form and be on you're way if you so wish. We can meet at a later date if you so choose."

Inessa takes a small piece of paper and a feathered pen from the top of her desk and begins writing, then slides the paper forward to the Elezen Lady as soon as she write's out the important detail's and sign's different part's of the contract. "You can pay me later. I already have the information on hand." On the paper is a waver/disclaimer of sort's. Along with a sum written at the bottom. Fifty thousand gil.

Inessa quietly fold's her newspaper and set's it down on the desk, then reaching for her coffee cup again. She looks to the Elezen woman and says. "I can look into it, but I need detail's, and then there is the matter of payment." Inessa would say with a straight face as she takes a sip out of her cup of coffee after finishing her sentence. "The first thing I must know is the group in question. Second is everything you know about them. I may know of the group you are in contact with, but it never hurt's to know what others know on the matter."

Inessa takes a long sip from her cup of coffee before setting it down on the desk. She looks up to the client that walked into the room and nod's. "Aye, it is. I'm Inessa Hara, the investigator and owner of this office."

((This thread is where Inessa will accept any contract's given to her ICly while she is in her office, right outside of the Quicksand. For more info about the contract's, look at this link here.)) The Buzz of the passing crowd of people outside could be heard since the office was located right next to the entrance of the city. The location, while noisy, was ideal to observe the coming's and going's of individual's from the main gates. Having this office here would prove valuable to her in her line of work. Inessa sat at her desk, reading her copy of the Tonberry. With the paper in her right hand, she would sit back while drinking her coffee which was in her left hand. It was black. Bitter but Inessa liked the taste. She developed it during her time in the Thanalan, though she doesn't know what drove her to start taking a liking to Coffee in the first place. She use to abhor the substance. Now she drinks it as if it was a daily ritual. it did not matter either way in the end. It did help keep her on edge and awake. It was here though that she would await for potential client's when she was bored. Inessa wasn't about to be held down by a desk job but though it would be a nice place to come and relax from the Chaos of the city life.

In time's of uncertainty, where you cant ask the law for help and there is nobody left to turn too, there will always be one you can ask for aid. Inessa Hara, professional Investigator, fighter, treasure hunter, seeker of secret's. You name it, Inessa can discover it or hunt for it, for a modest fee of course. If you desire a professional on the Job, and excellent service, then please seek out Inessa in her office, located right across the Quicksand. ((x11, y8)) If she is not present there, or the door is locked, please seek her out in the quicksand, or contact her via Courier. Disclaimer: Inessa Hara is not official law enforcement. She is a private investigator. As a result, she cannot accept contract's that involve the apprehension of people without bounty's out for them. Otherwise, everything else is fair game and she can accept most contract's. She reserves the rights to refuse or abort contract's. Payment must be upfront. Not all payment is expected though. Full payment is expected upon contract completion. Terms of the contract are not renegotiable once they have been agreed upon. She will refund the full amount of gil she is given if she aborts the contract. She will however keep payment if the other party wishes to back out of it. Client Confidentiality is guaranteed.

So it's been a while since I updated this. Still looking for work ATM. Im still running the same contract as before, however its on a semi-haeitus due to a lack of IC connections to get it going again. Will continue it once the person I need comes back from his Haeitus. Still have two more slot's if anyone is interested. Also, im going to post an IC add as well as make an IC thread for interactions if anyone is interested. Will be up before the day is out.

If anybody want's to do the echo/magic feeling shenanigan thing with me, im more than happy to do so. I got nothing better to do anyway other than hunt's.

Name: Inessa Hara World: Balmung Role: Investigator Cards: Justice, Strength, Judgment Reason for Card Choice?: Justice: Mainly because Inessa is an investigator, but her job is to find and attempt to find others who have committed wrongs and bring them to Justice, regardless of what the crime is or for what reason. Strength: One who does not have the strength to support themselves is as good as dead. Using her own power, Inessa became her own unyielding and unrelenting force of indomitable strength. Even in Death, she will refuse to yield from her duty's. Judgment: One who must circumvent the dangerous playground of politic's must have keen judgment. They must know who is friend and foe, who to pursue and who to pass by and ultimantely, they must not let themselves be swayed by the influence of others, or they will be lost.

I tried to update my wiki for Inessa around six months ago. Ended up only finishing it halfway. Next break from school I get, need to sit down and overhaul the whole thing.

Actually, to be honest, I RP as a detective and I did read a bit of lore regarding law enforcement. From RPing with law enforcement characters and being there for investigations/arrests/ect, this is what I generally get from those RP's. Some Common Aspects They All Share All offender's have the right's to remain silent. Any information they say can be used against them in court. You are guilty till proven innocent. Often enough though, an arrest warrant cannot be issued without evidence that shows their guilt. Officer's of the law have the right to temporarily detain anybody they suspect of criminal act's. This however is only allowable if the suspect is being detained for everyone's safety or if the subject has a criminal history. Arrest without the probable cause clause can result in punishment towards the officer's. (temporary is subject to different definitions based on location) Anyway's, I would be interested in going to the event. Would be nice to set law standard's for RP. PS: We should probably get an IC criminal database going. Would be nice to know who has broken the law ICly before and got caught.

Just an idea, but self-involvement in the affair's of the community is the fastest way to branch yourself out. I have an anti-social disorder, but usually, if you come if with an RP gameplan and stick too it as well as lot's of OOC communication and generally being a nice guy/girl/person, you will find youreself knee deep in community 'shenanigans', lol. Aside from that, dont branch out too far. You wont be able to keep up with everything if you flood youreself in RP, unless thats what you want, then go ahead, but it will take time away from endgame and other things in the game,

Woooo! I got work! As a result. I have two more open slot's for job's I can take.

My first contract, titled as "Catching a mate!" has been completed. Now im kinda jobless again. Open Slots 1: 2: 3: If anybody need's an investigator, just let me know. I am always willing to work most job's!

Another evening at the quicksand. The usual rabble about. Sultansworn that are off-duty enjoying a pint or two, the passerby common folk and adventurers telling their tales of their daily life, but Inessa sat in the corner by herself, with a steaming cup of coffee, the daily issue of the tonberry and a letter. The newspaper was neatly folded as if it were yet to be broken into and the cup of coffee next to it. She played around with the letter for a bit, before biting the edge of the envelope and tearing the top of it off. Pulling out a letter, she read it as it was written, though she yawned over the boring part's. The sister's of the Red Lotus or whatever, it sounded like a strange name at first and she would need to look into it later when she wasnt working or she had the opportunity to do so. Just before Inessa tossed her letter, she pulled out a small gemstone on it. It was red. Blood Red, with the carving of a shield on it. Strangely, Inessa could feel the faintest flow of Dark Aether coming from the stone. 'whatever this is, it's obviously an artifact of some sort. I wonder if it could power up my void magic.' Inessa thought to herself as she glanced at the stone, before pocketing it. Inessa was all for investigating the cause of this item's power, but only at a later date. She would need to get through her current work, which was searching for this one woman's fiance or some such. Inessa would deeply sigh, before taking a sip from her cup of coffee and breaking into her tonberry newspaper.

Woooooo! first job! Also, if anyone else want's to hire me, feel free to message me on the RPC or in-game. I do require IC payment but OOC, you guys dont have to pay anything. You only pay OOC if you want too. I can also take 2 more job's at most. I dont want to get flooded with work and having to keep an eye on the detail's of ten different contracts at once but I will choose what contract's I pursue on a first come, first serve basis.

Generally, this is an RP request of sort's to show that if you need an investigator to find something out, search for something, someone or anything really, then give me a PM OOCly. Im usually on between 4-11pm CMT on weekdays and usually all day on holiday's or weekend's. If not then just give me a PM here. ICly, I do everything, from tracking down criminal's, to finding lost people and kitten's, to even solving puzzle's and finding buried treasure. Inessa is not only an investigator who hunt's down and convict's criminal's but can also uncover secret's, solve riddles and fit pieces of the puzzle together. Should you require anything conventional or unconventional in the terms of problem solving, simply seek me out. Just keep in mind that Inessa is a private investigator. As such. she holds no official capacity in the law and cannot detain people ICly. She will need proof to show that such a person has committed wrong before they can be detained. If they however have an existing bounty on their head, she can go after them and detain them due to an official warrant being out for them.

Limsa Lominsa and the arcanist guild would be a good place to start for his origin. Most of the seekers and keepers there are non-traditional (so it would explain his non-cultural name) and the Arcanist guild would be a good place to start with since they are basically the brain's of Limsa. Starting out as an Arcanist and transitioning into Astroligian would be cool to experiment with IMO, since we have 6+ months till 3.0. (I think) Which would be enough time to build him up as a character towards astroligian.

I wouldn't say yet. There has been no lore presented at this time to say anything on the matter. With that said, Ishgard's native race is mostly Hyur/Elezen so if they follow the same root that they did with Dragoon be locked to Ishgard only techniques, then it will probably have the same race locks on it. This is a maybe however as I dont know nor does anyone know yet exactly what Astroligian lore entails.

I think Dark Knight will be an Au Ra unique class for a few specific reasons: Ishgard is pretty "Hollier than thou" country or state, so it's unlikely they would work or even remotely think of using Dark Magic. Ishgardians are getting Astroligian hand's down because they have an astro lab. Machinist look's like it will be associated with Cid and his Ironwork's company. I expect Cid to be the teacher since he is a mechanic/uses machines. The dev's will at least make ONE of the classes have an Au Ra instructor. Following that train of though, Dark Knight will be (if it ever is) an Au Ra class with ALOT of lore pertaining to both it and Au Ra culture probably. In other word's, Dark Knight might get race locked like Dragoon. This is just a theory though. I dont know if this will actually happen, but I did do alot of thinking on the matter.

Name: Inessa Hara One quality that describes her: Indomitable/Unyielding Five things that describe her/relate to her: 1. Stoic 2. Shield 3. Cunning 4. Dog 5. Darkness Hit me up if youre interested. I dont mind doing some RP with anybody, long as it's not lounging around. I hate doing that.

Rather than making a personal plot, I find that going along with an outside plot then attaching a personal aspect to it has been the best thing. Here is a good and quite long winded example I will give. So RP character named Jhon had all his friend's killed by an RP character named Dirk. Well Dirk apparently is a high ranking Garlean official and can hide himself very well. So in order to go find Dirk, Jhon must venture out and seek out people who know where to point him and follow the breadcrumbs of information to his target. Through trial and error and his involvement with many people on the path of his search, he grows as a character, making new friends and learning many different thing's on his path to fight Dirk, but he learns that there are more issues then his issues to deal with Dirk that need to be resolved such as having to fight corruption within the sultansworn and dealing with monetarists and having to choose to either fight with new friends or attempt to kill his current one's. Through trial and tribulation, he grows as a character and learns that thing's such as white or black no longer matter. Nobody will win in the end. Everyone will lose something and it becomes a generally painful experience to deal with the lose of friends and the fighting of foe's. He might even die as well but that's all part of the development. Really though, it's all up to the choice of the RPer and their method's or what they want out of RP. I tend to take a "Game of Thrones" Approach to my RP, where everyone is plotting and planning something behind everyone back, lots of politics and people die as a result of choice's and action's. It is fun for me, though to most people, having characters die doesn't sound very fun at all but when it comes down to it, someone got's to bite the big one in the end if they mess up.

After picking up and spending a good ten minutes reading the paper while drinking a cup of cofee at the quicksand, Inessa sighs as she plops the paper down on the table before her and rubs the bridge of her nose. She remained silent through the massive headache of Drama that she has recently delve into concerning the current state of the political landscape between Nero, the Monetarists and the section of Sultansworn that Paladin crofte led. Recently, due to Inessa's investigation's into the matter of finding Nero Lazarov, she has uncovered a rather shocking truth to the state of the Sultansworn sect under Crofte's command. They were begining to physically fall apart and become pawn's to the Monetarist Taeros Jameson. Crofte's rumored scandalous relationship, confirmed by several of her underling Paladin's did not help this. The entirety of her sect was jeopardized at that point. With the leadership in the Palm of Taeros hand, he was physically untouchable no matter what he did. The Paladin's would protect him and so would his brass blades. He practically had a small army at his command. Many of the Paladin's were young as well, and reckless and very inexperienced. They wore shiny armor and got their soulstones and they practically became the military police of the city. it was sickening as to what the Paladin's of Ul'dah were becoming. At the rate they were going, a culling of their ranks would be inevitable. Inessa greatly worried for the future of Ul'dah and what direction this would take.
