While it's pretty clear that Astrologians are diviners, I'm curious what else their astromancy can do for them. The class description leaves a pretty ambiguous explanation: "Thus was astromancy born -- a new form of magick which grants its users power over fate. Employing a star globe and divining deck in their miraculous deeds, fortune always smiles upon these masters of arcana." Their description in its entirety sort of seemed to me as if they could manipulate fate itself. Which, let's be honest, sounds incredibly overpowered. So I'm curious what else you all of the RPC have to say about astromancy itself and its possibilities. (tldr bolded)

Shameless bump for the best RP FC on the server. ;D

It certainly does. Thank you!

Sign me up.

I'll be looking forward to it. ALSO, for clarity, as this thread sort of got derailed a little: By 'dark/mature', I didn't necessarily mean evil. Noel, with how I have her set up, would be true neutral. Sure, Eorzea's society is very friendly and militaristic, but there's still crime. Hell, in Limsa's opening you're attacked by pirates. Limsa Lominsa was founded BY pirates. The game even mentions that Ul'dah has its own underground black market and is no stranger to shadier things. Rather than cultists, villains, and chaotic evil characters, I'm wanting to get in touch with thieves, outlaws, assassins, and etc. I'm honestly very surprised at the answers here! And I'm glad there is so much support behind the idea! Perhaps with everyone so hesitant, I'm more inclined to jump at the chance to start my own community. I have a lot of learning to do.

I hate using the word dark to describe RP. So I've done a lot of browsing lately. By browsing I mean that I've inspected FC info while in town or I've looked over the linkshells tab at least a dozen times now. And all I ever seem to come across are companies with good intentions, or neutral mercenary groups. I also tend to avoid tavern RP as much as possible, so I haven't really touched the RP in Ul'dah. But my heart truly lies with scoundrels. A group of people if not only a handful who could care less for the greater good of their people and their world and do right by them, do what they want to, get in trouble with the law and live a little. Thieves and assassins, con artists and tricksters... I'm sad to say I've hardly seen any of that here. Am I looking in the wrong places? I can't be alone on this. Is there anyone out there who plays on the darker side of things? Are there any FCs with devious intent? I'm tempted to make my own, but I've only just started the game. I don't know half of the elements the game has to offer, so how could I possibly offer a good home to those who would join? TLDR: So here's my plea. Is there ANY mature roleplay on Balmung?

Interesting concept. Are you still active/recruiting?

Aaah, this game is so pretty!! I mean, I was satisfied with the organic in-game screen, but I couldn't help editing it. I wanted to share it here. [align=center][/align]

Yay! Thank you so much for doing this!

Not to resurrect an old post or anything, but I was searching for other people using tumblr for their characters and figured since this wasn't too long ago, I'd bump it! I've been lurking on the site for a little bit and haven't quite introduced myself. Testing the waters, if you will. In any case, I enjoy blogging about my character including journal entries and screen shot edits, so I'd love to find more RPers on tumblr! http://austere-noel.tumblr.com
