Maelstrom Command RP LinkShell

Recruitment is open!

We are looking for IC Maelstrom soldiers, Knights of the Barracuda, Yellowjackets, Foreign Levy, Privateers (Trade Sails, War Sails, and Black Sails), Mealvaan’s Gate assessors, and characters who are officially on the books as contractors/freelancers under the Maelstrom’s employ. If that’s you, hop aboard!

**NOTE: Main characters only for freelancers/contractors. Alts are fine for all other IC roles!**

Maelstrom Command is a RP LinkShell, and Discord, community dedicated to bringing Maelstrom roleplayers together for fun, Grand Company themed roleplay. And, as an added bonus, we're here to serve the FFxiv RP community in all of its law enforcement needs! Assuming those needs aren't out of the Maelstrom's jurisdiction, of course. ;]

We operate primarily as an OOC Looking For RP LS that hosts LS and server wide events periodically. Members are encouraged to create Maelstrom themed RP for the LS – whether one on one or LS wide.


JOIN âš‘

1. Read the Rules, Ranks, and Uniform Requirements in the above tabs

We have a FC as well for the sake of having a themed house (Mist W251) open to all LS members, but we’re still LS focused. Joining the FC is not required! All communication takes place in the LS and in Discord.


INVOLVE US IN YOUR RP âš‘

1. Think about what you’d like the Maelstrom’s IC involvement to be (friends or foes?)

3. Fill out this Event Request form: http://tinyurl.com/mc-ffxiv-event-request

CURRENT STORYLINES âš‘

"To the Skies!"
June 2017 - August 2017

This is a LS-wide, multi-event storyline that we’ve created to lead us into Stormblood ICly. We’ll partner with a handful of other RP LinkShells & Free Companies for fun cross group mini events.

ICly, the Maelstrom’s 1st Squadron, 9th Levy (AKA Mist 1-9, led by Storm Commander Sylbfohc Ostulmsyn) has been tasked with building the Grand Company’s first war airship. Having an airship outfitted for battle would mean that the Maelstrom could police the skies, following illegal skypirate outfits upward as well as keeping a more effective watch for Garlean approach.

It would also greatly improve the Maelstrom’s reaction time to realm-wide threats, and as the keepers of the first airborne war ship, Mist 1-9 will become the Maelstrom’s first responders, able to reach crises that ground and sea Units wouldn’t be able to reach in time. And, with threats rising toward the East, skyward mobility couldn’t come at a better time...

In order to achieve this engineering feat, however, Maelstrom’s Mist 1-9 will require aid from the brightest minds and most dependable hands that the realm has to offer.

Will you aid the cause?

Hello!

I play as a member of the Maelstrom and frequently spent my time on Vylbrand. I already have a FC and maxed out LS space atm, but if you need help with anything, I'm always willing!

I am an EU player, so my time is a bit tricky, but I happen to be a bit of a lore freak and I do my best to study Lominsan lore intensively.

I would love to meet you guys!

Oh, excellent! If you're on Discord, we've got an OOC discord channel that you can tune into too if you'd like. I struggle with being maxed out on LS slots too. The struggle is real ;-;

PM me for an instant invite code.

We are in the midst of a major lore review now – gathering as much Maelstrom/Vylbrand related lore as we can so that we can compile it all in one place. So, if you've got any lore resources for me, I would gladly take them!

Other than that, we're just planning out our first few events and looking out for a Medium house in the Mist!

P.S.

I LOVE your glamour

Yaaaay welcome! I am excited for all the things.

Our official launch is just a couple of weeks away! In the meantime, we're still moving forward with our pre-launch preparations.

Here's what we've accomplished this week:

• We got a house!!! Mist (small) W251 will be the IC location for Maelstrom Command LS/FC
  
• We've established partnerships with a handful of related LinkShells & Free Companies
  
• We've established support partnerships with a handful of reoccurring server-wide (La Noscean) event coordinators
  

We're always looking for more partners! Being a partner LS/FC of Maelstrom Command just means that we keep each other in the loop and support each other by participating in each other's RP events where needed and in whatever way is needed.

Maelstrom Command generally offers:

• IC law enforcement presence at reoccurring RP events
  
• IC enemies (in chase and battle) opposite to pirates and sky pirates
  
• IC allied support for groups petitioning for help in their quests
  
• IC investigation into matters troubling other groups
  
• Continued IC support for Doman refugee groups
  
• etc. etc.!

Keep in mind, however, that groups seeking IC battle/enemy status with Maelstrom Command need to be just as willing to lose as they are to win! Battle outcomes will be discussed OOCly ahead of time (if your group needs to win in order to advance your plot) or left to fate with /random rolls.

We seek to create realistic chase & battle scenarios in which both sides win some and lose some. It should all be in good fun OOCly. No one has time for sore losers. ;]

We will continue to work on building our lore base, making partners, and planning out our first handful of events.

More updates to come!
