Hey there and welcome aboard to the RPC and welcome back to FFXIV! :thumbsup: I believe Mateus is the chosen RP server at this point, what with Balmung on a total lockdown.

Hey there and welcome back aboard the RPC! :thumbsup: Best of luck on the hunt on Mateus!

Hey there, and welcome aboard to the RPC and to Balmung! :thumbsup:

Hey there, and welcome aboard to the RPC and back to FFXIV! :thumbsup: Best of luck on the hunt on Mateus! I hear there's a lot going on over there these days.

Yeah! Anything you can do to cast a larger net is a plus. Consider making a post on the Making Connections forums too if you have an idea on what kind of contacts you'd like to cultivate!

Hey there and welcome aboard the RPC! :thumbsup:

[align=center] Secluded away from the main thoroughfare of Gridania, Hunter's Respite is known among meat connoisseurs as one of the best mercenary halls in Gridania- merely for the food alone. Drizzled with garlic butter and topped with herbs, spices, grilled onions and sauted mushrooms, these steaks are done to perfection with a unique blend of old Keeper tribal customs that would be hard to find anywhere else outside of the wilds. The smell of sizzling meat is nearly around-the-clock, and enough to make anyone want to step inside just as they pass the establishment. Although small, the hall is owned and operated by a passionate family who are steadfastly loyal to one another. The main attraction, however, for Hunter's Respite isn’t actually the food so much as it is for employment. The Veil mercenary company operates from this location, and maintains a public venture board as well as amenities for mercenaries from all over Eorzea to relax, resupply, and get some decent food in an open and laid-back setting. Hunter's Respite can even get a little rowdy, so it’s not uncommon to find those gathered here in bouts of friendly competition between rounds of mead. Whether you’re looking for food, work or rest, Hunter's Respite has you covered! http://i.imgur.com/MgjdYDp.png[/img] Welcome to the recruitment and overview page for the free company, “The Veil”! Right away, you’re probably asking yourself just what in the world this actually is. First and foremost, the Veil is a family- both IC and OOC. If one of us has a problem, we all do, so we try to keep drama down by being transparent and open with one another. Beyond that, the Veil is somewhat unique in that it is a “community” company. We aim to support the general community by hosting and supporting events, offering a public venue for RP, utilizing the party finder to advertise for RP opportunities, maintaining a public community venture board, and supporting community storylines in any way that we can. When the community as a whole is doing well, so are we. To that end, we do not blindly recruit- we try to find players and characters that fit our particular niche, and if they don’t, we at least try to refer them somewhere else they can have fun at. That’s really the name of the game here: having fun. At the basest level, the Veil concept is a simple, rough-and-tumble mercenary company that’s more than merely a company: they’re a family. The most enduring philosophy of characters within the Veil would probably be, “work hard, play hard.” The Veil’s headquarters is Hunter's Respite, which also doubles as a public mercenary pit-stop. Here, characters can meet with peers and rivals, relax, get a good (meaty) meal, brawl, resupply, and most importantly, browse our community venture board. The current listings on the community venture board can be viewed here: Miriamele's Venture Board Originally founded and funded by Ishgardian nobility interests, the Veil was conceived to undermine and eventually equalize the aristocracy to the common people in Eorzea. However, over the months that followed, the diverse family who actually worked with and operated the Veil eventually came to realize that their capabilities were not solely limited to functioning as an arm of minor noble houses. While they still do take on jobs for their original benefactors, they were able to accrue enough gil to eventually buy out the headquarters they were provided. With the range of their diverse skillset and a desire to eek out a comfortable living in the world, the family has since decided to offer their services publicly under contract as a freelance mercenary company. Since the formal purchase and acquisition of the After-Dark Grill, the steakhouse has since been transformed from an upscale eatery into a self-styled ‘meat-hall.’ Here, mercenaries- not just from the Veil- can come to Hunter's Respite to relax, grab a meat shank, browse open job requests, and resupply.

Hey there and welcome aboard the RPC and once again to FFXIV! :thumbsup: Elezen and/or Miqo'te master race. /nod

Hey there and welcome aboard to the RPC! :thumbsup: Moon Guard during Wrath will forever be some of my fondest memories of RP'ing. Anyway, you might consider tossing up a Making Connections post too. It pretty much allows you to do some focused one-on-one targeting for other characters, if you have a general idea of the type of character you'd like to run into!

Hey there, and welcome aboard to the RPC and to RP in general! :thumbsup: Best advice I can give is probably to visit Ul'dah for starters- hang around outside the Quicksand and you can watch and observe roleplayers to get a good idea of what all goes on. If nothing else, it's good for some brainstorming, too! Good place to dip your feet into the waters, too. If you have any questions, these forums are great for getting answers, whether they be on characters or general game lore. Also, tossing up a post on Making Connections can help you avoid the whole "walk-up" situation as you generally work out a circumstance to engage the other player, rather than complete randomness.

Hey there, and welcome aboard! :thumbsup: Feel free to toss up a Making Connections post- it'll help you get off to the races that much more quickly! Do it!

Hey there, and welcome aboard to the RPC! :thumbsup: Hope you enjoy your time in the game! Ask around if there's any questions you have.

Hey there and welcome aboard to the RPC! :thumbsup: Best of luck on the hunt on Mateus!

Hey there and welcome aboard to the RPC! :thumbsup:

Hey there and welcome aboard to the RPC! :thumbsup: As has previously been mentioned, there isn't an RP-PvP community- or at least, with all the barriers to entry for it, it's probably not worth doing. You can only duel in a specific area- not at-will the way it is in WoW. Can't speak to much on the other points that hasn't been covered already, though. Best of luck on your search!

Hey there and welcome back aboard the RPC and to Balmung! :thumbsup:

Hey there, and welcome aboard to the RPC! :thumbsup: Best of luck on the hunt for RP over there!

Server: Balmung Noble House Name: Ruvalis Pledged to High House: Dzemael Description: A small and relatively young noble house, Ruvalis was born over 200 years ago when the founding patriarch of the house- a battlefield commander at the time- succeeded in driving back a Dravanian raid against what seemed like impossible odds through impressive use of strategy. He was given a place within the nobility, pledged to House Dzemael. Since its inception, House Ruvalis has been a strong and outspoken supporter of House Dzemael to such a degree that lately, rumors have started to pop up that the house has been puppeted. It doesn’t help that there are more rumors: that the heir to the house was quietly exiled, and there was an arranged marriage between Ruvalis and House Chanteuse- hinting at a consolidation of power. Included Races: Wildwood Elezen, Duskwight Elezen, Hyur Members: Corinth Ruvalis (NPC, founding patriarch, deceased) Vathinaux Ruvalis (NPC, current lord, alive) Yulen Ruvalis (NPC, current lady, alive) Zalina Chanteuse (daughter, arranged marriage, widow, alive) Zavineau Ruvalis (son, heir, rumored exile, widower, alive) Sharadoe Eleneth (servant to Zavineau, alive) Footnotes: Players are very welcome to inquire about joining House Ruvalis as knights, retainers, and even servants! Ruvalis is also very willing to work alongside other player houses for the sake of authoring storylines. Either message me here on the forums, or contact me in-game on Zavineau Ruvalis.
