Hiya! I'm new to MMO RP but not RP in general. I started FFXIV in January and have found myself completely hooked; now that I am settled into the game I feel ready to start RPing here. I'm hoping to find some like minded people to start this adventure with. Trinity is essentially a blank slate that I am interested in building from the ground up with someone, I am pretty much down for anything. Please have a peek at my profile here for more details. I am available for RP via Discord chat and in game at varying times of the day/night. I am looking forward to meeting new people Thanks for taking the time to read this, hope you have a great day =^-^=

Though few in numbers, the Ardent Lotus Clan has mettle and spirit—the sort forged from a combined desire of its hunters to make this Star an onze safer. They do not operate in the open. Yet far too small to stand among the titans of the realm’s other clans and free companies, they nevertheless toil away where they’re able. Come in, put up your weapon, and have a seat. Enjoy the fruits and libations of lands east and west. Stick around long enough, and you might just put down roots... « THE USUAL SUSPECTS... » Who might you see in the tavern? Frequent visitors, fresh patrons, or veteran hunters...all in this place have come from different places. Grand company members who tire of the rigour and formality of their rank occasionally seek drinks and...variable company. Clan hunters who call this place home...or near-to home as they might have. Rangers of the realm who make their profit as trackers, monster slayers, and mercenaries for hire! Merchants, and other folk whose lives revolve around the coin, come to this place in search of fresh deals and new connections. Of late, an odd number of machinists and magitek scholars have passed through the doors. An uptick in business? Newly profitable ventures? Curious… Historians and researchers from across the realm--those who have no wish to spend their coin beneath the thumbs of a grand company--often enjoy the freedom of a freelancer’s tavern. Tradesmen, looking for fresh buyers to whom they might peddle their wares. Skilled entrepreneurs have struck many deals under this roof. Patrons of no particular affiliation are found in plenty--those myriad souls who find themselves in the right place, at the right time (or the right place, at the worst time.) Motivation need not serve profession or greater purpose, after all, and the tavern’s doors are open to any that aren’t looking to make trouble... « WHAT DOES THE LOTUS CLAN DO? » The Lotus Clan is a small group that congregates in the cellar of the House of the Hidden Pearl Inn & Tavern. This tavern—nestled along the shore of the Mists—serves as a reprieve from the ails of the realm. It’s frequented by all manner of adventurers, mercenaries, scholars, and even a few rare Grand Company members. Seated at the bar, they’re united by a search for fruitful work and unique opportunities. Camaraderie through arms, or at least a desire for a plump coinpurse. From this gathering point, they organize hunts, leves, or missions for Voidsent, Primals, and other problematic creatures (or people) that may threaten the safety of those they deem to care about—or for a large sum of gil. Or both! There are many types of characters within the clan and each has its own motives for being part of the group. What will yours be? « WHAT DOES OUR FREE COMPANY OFFER? » Again, we’re a group of characters that are either friends, acquaintances, or new patrons of the House of the Hidden Pearl Inn & Tavern (FC House - Mist, Ward 6, Plot 30). There is an IC Linkshell/Clan (Ardent Lotus) that characters can join after RPing for a while if they are interested in participating in more exclusive/leves and FC events. However, joining the Lotus Clan is not mandatory for FC membership, and is certainly not expected of all members right from the get-go. We aim to have natural progression rather than “forced” membership. As for FC-wide events, officers of the FC host two adventure/mission type of events on a monthly basis. These are planned ahead of time and put on our guild calendar. Members are welcome and encouraged to set up and run their own events in between, as well! These can be leve/mission types or events for personal character development plots. We want everyone in our group to get the type of RP they want, and give them avenues to make it happen. Also, during Discord RP events, we feature a very basic trait/dice-roll system that is akin to D&D style games. This allows for some unexpected twist and turns, as well as for certain characters to tailor their dice-rolls with nods to their innate talents. (We also offer a regularly scheduled social event at the tavern, but this is currently on hold, for now. Regularity and themes are being modified due to Shadowbringers and will pick up once again sometime in July! However, non-scheduled social RP is still occurring.) Note: The only characters that would not be welcome within the tavern over long periods of time would be True Evil types that obviously prey on other patrons or adventurers through any matter of schemes or cruelty. You are, of course, allowed to RP a character with us not matter who they are and what they do, so long as you are prepared for the IC consequences of your character’s actions–including combat by other players and/or permanent banning from the premises ICly. On an OOC level, we also offer: Full fleets of Airships & Submarines A medium house with company chest/armoire access 24/7 double Actions for EXP/other member bonuses « ABOUT THE PLAYERS » We’re a chill group of gamers ranging from ages ~22 to 38 that play FFXIV in our spare time. We enjoy chatting in our Discord server, RPing, PvE in FFXIV, other games, and just being friends with one another. Most of us have day jobs and some have children, so we, as a whole group, are not and cannot be online 24/7. Our most active hours are from 4:00pm EST/EDT until maybe 1-2:00am EST/EDT. We have folks from across all of the USA, a few from Canada and even fewer from the UK. A decent chunk of us also enjoy endgame raiding, and have dedicated statics. Ardent Lotus is formerly called Aetherial Warriors <AW-RP>, and we as a group have been around for over 5 years now! (For more information on the change from AW-RP to Pearl, see our website!) We’ve seen a lot, gone through super ups and some bitter downs, but always have come out stronger than before. Though we are not as new as we were during FFXIV 2.X, we’re still very open and accepting of new members, both to the game and to our group. Interested? Great! Be sure to peruse our Tumblr, check out our site, then submit an application! Officers will be happy to speak to any potential applicant whether you have filled one out yet or not. If you have any further questions about the OOC happenings of our free company, feel free to ping one of the available officers!

So, My name is Zanvius, most people call me Zan, Zanvy, zanny, etc. I have a couple months experience playing XIV on and off, but Shadowbringer brought me back and the story has me even more interested in the game now! The main reason I started playing XIV however was to hopefully get into RP, but for the longest time it felt daunting and strict to get into (didn't help that I was/am shy and it takes a bit of time to actually get warmed up to people, let alone adventuring into RP). atm, I am looking for a FC to join and thought it best to find a light-medium RP FC. While searching I Luckily found this forum to try and get my RP life started~ moving on to the generic questions for people to get to know me! MMORPG background I've dabbled in quite a few MMOs.. but I didn't stay in most of them long enough to really matter. The more notable ones include: MapleStory, Dungeon Fighters Online, Mabinogi (did some RP in this one~), Shaiya and Blade and Soul. These are just the ones off the top of my head, I've jumped ships too many times to list, However Mabinogi is the one I've spent the most time in (and still do from time to time). RP experience A couple sessions of DnD that died out before it could really get anywhere and RPing with a few people in Mabinogi Character ideas/info Right now I'm working on my Viera, Sonja Wolt- a boisterous fighter who isn't afraid to run straight into any obstacle or suffer any kind of injury in her pursuit to learn more fighting techniques and explore the world! She's just as likely to laugh and drink with you as she is to suplex you (lovingly if she considers you a friend) for getting snarky. Her background and deeper personality isn't really built yet and I'm happy to receive any ideas or tips to make her more interesting! I have quite a few character ideas to work with but for the foreseeable future my main focus will be her~ How did you learn about the coalition? Googled RP FC ffxiv and this website popped up. ez pz. What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? (e.g. Light, medium, or heavy) I believe a light to medium RPer, at least until I get more experience and better able to create a narrative for my character, then I wouldn't mind going heavy! I prefer slice of life styles of RP and building relationships that way, however I am 100% down for any other style! Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc.) I work a full time job with hours that can change drastically sadly, doesn't occur often but it can and will happen if you stick with me for a while. I'm your typical nerd as well~ Anime, manga, video games... you name it, though lately my focus is on manga and only a few vidja games. I'm always down to play other games with people who are interested (thinking about playing borderlands again). My girlfriend and her friends also play and RP in this game, and are a lot more experienced than me in everything XIV related, but I want to strike out and meet some new people on my own instead of relying on them all the time. There's other information I don't mind sharing but not in a public setting~ For those of you who even read this far down thank you for your time! If you see me around feel free to say hi or add me or anything, I'm trying to become less shy and open up more!

Name: Ylsa Iryut Race: Viera Gender: Female Server: Balmung Timezone: Pacific I am currently on the hunt for a Free Company that is, both, active and would make sense for my character. She is a treasure hunter, mostly for relics or items of power or knowledge (i.e. Soul Crystals or antiquities), but will take on jobs for a number of other things if the mood strikes her. I’ve been describing her as if Black Cat were to join the Gullwings. I’m finding that most Free Companies on Balmung are very small so I am also open to invitations to RP linkshells as another venue to make her some closer acquaintances (maybe even some real friends). I am trying to get out there and level up but I’d really rather find some people that I can do that with. Looks us up in Eorzea/Norvrandt, ~Ylsa

Quick Info: Gender: Male Race/Clan: Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon Age: 34 Height: 5 Fulms 10 Ilms Weight: 192 Ponze Marital Status: Single Orientation: Heterosexual Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Location: Ul’dah/Gridania/Kugane Occupation: Relic Seeker, Black Mage Thaumaturge for hire, owner of Relics and Rarities Personality: Years of study has produced someone of a rather patient demeanor who has learned to take events in stride as well as assess a situation with all the knowledge he has acquired, yet has also developed a bitter individual who has allowed said knowledge to become overconfidence to the point of his goals becoming far above his own head; threatening to overwhelm him. Jihl'a can be seen as a proactive character who chases after leads he finds to explore forgotten tombs, ancient ruins and dead cities with his confidence and sarcasm in full swing, whereas he becomes patient, understanding and knowledgeable the moment he attends to his shop. Negatively, his overconfidence may kill him, and his skill with magic may attract unwelcome attention. RP Hooks: Gridania and the Twelveswood: "You hail from the Twelveswood? Perhaps you've met my parents. Better yet, don't tell me." As a Keeper of the Moon, Jihl'a was born in the woods near the city of Gridania, a member of one such tribe. At a young age, his thaumaturgical ability had been discovered shortly after setting a tree ablaze while on an adventure with a friend. He was sent to Ul'dah until graduating with the Thaumaturge guild, where he has since visited Gridania from time to time to speak with his parents as well as attend to Relics and Rarities, the premiere relic appraising, studying and selling location! Know the shop? Heard rumors of the goings on behind closed doors involving rituals, voidsent or the like? Plenty of opportunity awaits! Ul'dah: Second Home for a Mischievous Youth: "One of the safest havens in Ul'dah is the Thaumaturge Guild. It's hard to be robbed or kidnapped when you have both teachers and students poised to use aetheric fire at a moment's notice." Perhaps one of his favorite locations, Ul'dah is where Jihl'a spent his youth and young adulthood. Much of his time was spent learning how to pickpocket as well as poking his nose into books to perfectly perfect his magical arts. Soon after graduating with the Thaumaturge Guild, he was granted access to the forbidden section, where his thirst for adventure truly began. He often returns now for business involving relics, visiting the guild to refresh himself and speak to his teachers, or simply becoming nostalgic to once innocent times. Have you seen him walking past? Perhaps you overheard his name while inside the guild? Maybe even encountered him as a child, his appearance somehow recognizable. Kugane: The newest addition to his services as a relic seeker, Kugane became the location of the first expansion of his business once rumors of eastern empires and tomes of dead magicks brushed past his ears. Quickly putting up shop inside the city, Jihl'a chased every opportunity given by a previous employer. Now that the deal has been long finished, perhaps there is still a location yet unexplored, a book unread or perhaps a piece of magic he still hasn't learned. Being the second location of Relics and Rarities, he often travels between the two to ensure both are running in top shape, his employees ensuring the gil is in constant flow. Old Friend, or Old Competition: Given his aptitude for magic, Jihl'a holds himself highly when it comes to the aetheric arts. He would claim there are few who would compete and would fiercely defend this opinion, claiming of stories where near death was a joke and the worst of threats bonked with his staff as opportunity struck. Perhaps it's all false. There is a potential his old classmates or even an old rival reacquaint themselves with him to prove this fact otherwise. Is he overconfident, or honest? Is there the chance both rip reality asunder or become friends that better each other? What I'm Seeking!: I'm looking for both contacts and friendship for Jihl'a, as well as work involving ruins or even reading a dusty old book. Should anything involve The First, I'd welcome a potential combining of knowledge to traverse the rift or even something already located in the shard. They may be short of course, but long term acquaintances are preferred. He requires a bit of socialization to realize there's more than the shop and his work. Events are welcome as are potential magic pupils and bouts. I'm happy to brainstorm! And if you're interested in learning a little more about Jihl'a, check out his RPC! https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Jihl'a_Wilzuun Anything Else?: I myself run on EST time and am available in game from 4pm - 12am on workdays and from 9am - 3am on off days! On Discord I'm available any time. Jihl'a can be both a fairly light character as well as fairly dark, so don't be afraid to ask about an idea you have. If you're someone curious about romance, I'll offer that while it's not something I seek for Jihl'a, it is a potential should the two characters work well together. I'm also looking for an RP FC, so if you happen to know of one you believe I may be interested in, let me know! -
Hi there! Thought I'd put this up since its been a while. I jumped on the carrd bandwagon like most have--it is really easy to make and update them! But anyway, I am not open to RP right away! Right now Lucius is out fighting on the warfront at the Ghimlyt, and should return sometime mid to late May, depending on my college work. Its mostly an IC reasoning for extended OOC abscence on my part. I would simply like to find more contacts for when he returns. I will give discord info if asked! If you have any questions, concerns, anything, please don't be afraid to ask here or in a PM. I apologize in advance if it takes me some time to check back and answer you. If you see me idling IG, poke me there too! All hooks, information on Lucius and myself can be found on the carrd. \o/ If you have trouble with the site or if you find any broken stuff/issues, please let me know too! Its a constant WIP. https://arebel.carrd.co/

Hello, and thank you for having this wonderful community! I'm a new) returning player. I purchased the game when it came out (2012 ish), mad a character, played till level 12, then life got in the way as I stopped. I recently decided to come back and play again. I created a new char on Mateus to learn the basics of the game. I still am new, but I'm new-comfortable and have a better idea of how I want to play as a character. I also found out that my old first character from way back when is on Balmung, a server so popular it's closed. Is it a good idea to play there? I don't want to pass up the opportunity to play and rp on the top to server, but I'm worried that since it's been closed for so long there won't be many new characters like myself playing the low levels. On Mateus, I have some duties that start after 2 min, and some where I've waited almost 10min. Will starting (again) on a closed server be a disaster for a new player like myself or should I take advantage of being able to play?

Hey everyone! I'm a long time rper but new to the FF scene! I look forward to getting involved with the community more in this game! I'm based in Balmung and still figuring out the game and how it works but my RP is on point! I hope to get to know more people ingame and get into a friendly, rp community! Opalarie D'ath

Name: Kagato Jurai Age: 28 Orientation: Straight Profession: Pirate Captain Important Details: Wanted in Gridania with a 10,000,000 gil bounty. Looking to connect with players who might be interested in a bit more Piracy in their lives! Whether you're looking to be a part of grand adventures, looking to cash in on the bounty, wanting to treasure hunt, or perhaps something more specific that requires the help of someone that's not so law-abiding, Captain Kagato Jurai of the Abyssal Pirates is here to look for connections meeting any and all of these. Long story short, I'm looking to RP in-game or via Discord for character building and forming relationships and bonds. The time I am online conflicts with my FC's current RP schedule, yet I am itching for RPing. Since my schedule is not changing anytime soon, I wanted to reach out here for anyone wanting to have the most adorable of rapscallions involved with any new or current RPs with individuals, groups, or entire Linkshells and FCs. I do have a card that offers more information on the character if interested: https://kagato.carrd.co/ Overall though, my character is meant to bring a certain level of light-heartedness to most scenes while still keeping the door open to serious moments and encounters as well as grand adventures. In other words, expect to smile, maybe even laugh, but also know that there is a Mr. Hyde to this Dr. Jekyll, and depending on how the scene goes, it could get a bit gruesome. All within character of course! Also willing to visit other servers within the Crystal Data center, so while my home server is Balmung, I can easily jump to any other server for RPing if necessary! While I'd be happy to list some RP Hooks, the truth is, I can RP in any scene and situation. Be it battle, social, travel, or stationary, this is a versatile Pirate. Feel free to ask questions or reach out to me in-game, on this forum, or even via Discord. I have that information in my card page that was posted earlier! Why yes, I do have my bed positioned so that I am sleeping on a huge mound of money! Should see the rest of the treasure-filled room!

I mean what? Hi! I've returned to the game and am looking for someone to play with, hang out, RP, take over the world. I haven't settled on a story for my Miqo'te just yet so if anyone is looking for some connections hit me up, and we can see if we can get something rolling. My discord is Nova#8287 and my character is Dustyn Ashling on the balmung server. Though her name maybe changing as soon as I decide on something. I would also be super interested in playing a twin with someone.

Spellstone Tournament Sundays, 8pm EST @Fesca’s Wash, Central Thanalan ( 21.0 , 25.8 ) ~ The following advertisement is placed in every major publication in Eorzea, with colorful fliers strewn throughout the four city-states. ~ Students of magic, brothers and sisters of sorcerous might. For some time now we have heard your concerns regarding the state of magical competition in Eorzea. It is no secret that it is rather difficult to conduct a tournament of magic users. One cannot imagine why this might be the case, though I would hazard that we are a inquisitive sort, as keen to push the boundaries of our chosen arts as we are to test ourselves against our peers in the realms of spellcraft. Although one could also argue that the authorities feel a certain degree of discomfort when a group of people who can set said peers ablaze with words gather in the one location, and this tends to make for a tense atmosphere for all concerned. Our company has some experience with regulating a wide scale tournament with a cast of diverse and colourful participants, as anyone who attends the Grindstone can attest. Therefore, in partnership with our colleagues from the distant shores of the Far East, we offer those of a magical disposition a similar opportunity to test their might against their fellow Archons and Magisters, Sorcerers and Warlocks, Wizards and Scholars alike. Are you at the pinnacle of your art? Shall your foes tremble at your arcane might, or shall your flame be consumed by the magecraft of your foes? Spellstone employs a simple set of rules meant to ensure the relative safety of competitors, staff, volunteers, and spectators alike. Any who are familiar with other fighting tournaments (such as the Grindstone) will already have a grasp of these rules, but for those who have never participated in such events, we ask you to read over them very carefully before deciding whether you wish to compete! Any and all are invited to participate, from seasoned archmage to learning student of the arcane; this is a contest meant to give those of magical inclination a battleground to test themselves and their mastery, as well as foster relations between mages from all walks of life! Rules IC 1. No force that would be lethal - even without the dampening field. While injuries and pain will be sustained on the field of battle, we at Spellstone do not condone outright murder, dismemberment, or permanent harm of any participants. Remember that you are within sight of Ul’dah’s gates - Immortal Flames are on hand at any moment to deal with attempted murder and drag away the offending individual to face incarceration or otherwise. 2. No illegal magics - this includes Black Magic, White Magic, Void Magic, Necromancy, etc. Have a care of your surroundings and do not do anything that could earn you the suspicion of your peers or alert authorities to illegal actions. 3. No removing your opponent's will to fight via sleep spells or other mental manipulation. This is a contest of magical strength and prowess; if you are not going to fight fairly, do not enter. 4. No animals. 5. You will be medically cleared before beginning each round. If you have sustained injuries, they will be healed via potion or spell. You will not be allowed to move on if you deny healing and recovery-based tonics. 6. No use of ether potions or other external means to regain Aether. This is also a test in managing your resources. As specified under rule three, if you do not intend to fight fairly, do not sign up to compete! 7. No fighting with a condition that will make your participation in the tournament more dangerous ( such as an unhealed prior injury or pregnancy ). No staff, volunteers, or participants in Spellstone wish to worsen prior health conditions to the point they endanger your life. Have a care for yourself and others around you. 8. This is a tournament of magic - no striking your opponent with martial weapons and techniques. Use of melee weapons as foci or a means to direct your magic are accepted, but do not attempt to cleave your opponent in two; save that for the Grindstone. OOC 1. Treat everyone with basic respect and decency. 2. If you have concerns related to the Spellstone or its participants, bring them directly to leadership. This includes concerns relating to the "lore friendliness" of spells your opponent is using, ways to improve the event and Discord, concerns about the OOC history of other participants, special considerations your character will need, and many more things. We won't know unless you tell us! 3. By participating in the Spellstone, you agree that if your character is disruptive, staff characters will be able to overpower them and remove them from the event. This will be done ICly via features built into the spell dampening field, so that we don't force you to accept that our characters can automatically beat yours in a fair fight. 4. No gatekeeping or policing. Unless a character's player has been issued a ban by the staff, they are welcome. If you feel any characters or players who are present should be kept away, bring your concerns to the staff (see OOC rule 2). This also governs IC posturing and threatening to keep people you don't like away. Participation is optional and by participating you agree to adhere to all rules. ~ There will be a prize of 300k to the tournament victor at the end of the night - as well as an additional sur-prize for the winner, which will change every week! ~ Caveats to be aware of: All of us at Spellstone understand that disconnections can happen at any time, for any number of reasons. However, in the case of such, participants will only be alloted 10 minutes once their character disappears from the game world to log back in. Should a participant not return within this time limit, their match will be considered a forfeit and their opponent allowed to advance. This is in the spirit of keeping the tournament fair and moving forward. ~ We will be using the Grindstone approach of /random rolling for defense and offense! ~ Event staff and volunteers can be found by the Looking to Meld symbol, though a detailed list is provided below.

Hello! As the title says, I’m looking for contacts or all kinds. Rather than ramble, I’ll just let Cohl’ra’s carrd speak for itself. Cohl'ra Zhafri Essentially, he’s a young and troubled dark knight that wanders looking to do good and correct injustice wherever he can, typically with the swing of his sword. Be it friends, enemies, contacts, romantic partners or a simple chance encounter, I’m looking to do it all. I am mostly interested in long-term RP, interesting stories and character development. Message me on Discord at Embran#8541 if you’re interested; thanks! -
IC A company that was once run by two Ala Mhigans who felt their glory years had passed. They retired and, with them, the company did as well. Ownership of the company plot and rights to act as a free company passed hands for some time until, finally, it landed in the hands of Aedan Blacke. Aedan, as a friend of the original owner of Black Griffin Adventuring Company, sought to restore the company to its former glory. As such, he met with the original owner, learned the tricks of the trade, dusted the cobwebs out of the house, met with contacts to begin gathering work, and opened the doors. As such, Black Griffin Adventuring Company had been reborn.... OOC Overview Black Griffin is a company of fun-loving adults that want to have a good time playing all aspects of the game together. As a company, we strive to offer an immersive and fun environment for RP, PvE, and even PvP should the player so desire. A Home for a Broad Spectrum of Characters Black Griffin is a company that was founded to fill what we thought was a hole in the community: a lore-abiding company that offered both adventuring and slice of life for all that joined. The company not only offers adventuring through the use of the house's leveboard and contracts, but also a social atmosphere for both company members and their friends to gather. The large majority of our events will have an adventuring theme much like one would pick up from the Adventurer's Guilds and Grand Companies around the game and, as such, will take place out in the open world. Adventurers, not Warriors of Light As a company we tend to run what some might consider "lower power level" characters. What this means is that our characters are not paragons of their chosen fields. While they may well be skilled in what they do, they are not capable of leveling mountains, taking on small armies on their own, or creating craters with their powers. We like for everyone to share the spotlight while telling stories, not for one invincible character to shine brighter than all others. Transparency We're a company that offers transparency from the officer core. All things done by the officer core will be known to every member of the company. We do this for two reasons: We wish for this to be a company made by every individual member, not just a select few people with the powers to kick, invite and promote. Anything done by the officers is not meant to be secretive. If and when a decision is made, a post to inform every member of the company will follow. The post may not be verbatim what the officers said during their discussions, but it will contain every pertinent detail. This also includes our applications. All applications submitted to our company are viewable by every member of the company as we value their input on the potential applicant as well. Casual Atmosphere Looking over the various posts in the forum might give the impression that we're overly serious about everything. We're not. While we do like particular themes and environments for our RP, such as particular lore and "realism" standards, we still take a casual approach to it all. We're not looking to be a huge company filled to the brim with hundreds of players. Our aim in making this company was to provide a home for like-minded people that wanted casual-paced RP, based in lore and "realism". As such, we will never really have any large recruitment drives in the hopes of grabbing tons and tons of people, but will instead use the occasional party finder post and pokes in whispers here and there. This casual nature also flows into our event planning. We all have lives outside of the game and use this game as a way to de-stress and "escape". Having to worry over having weekly events and the like doesn't do much to serve that purpose. As such, while officer-led events will happen, they may not be on a weekly basis. We're just here to play the game as a group, enjoy some RP along the way, and get phat lewts from punching pixels. All Aspects of the Game We're a group that loves all aspects of the game, not just the RP. So, often times, you'll find many of us running dungeons and raids, pulling together groups to make money doing treasure maps, and sometimes getting together to grind out wolf marks for those sweet sweet PvP glamours (and sometimes achievements). To help facilitate this, the company has a discord that all members (and their friends, within reason) are invited to upon invitation to the company. The discord is often used to remind members of upcoming events, as a way of communication between members for both general conversation and RP when otherwise unable to get on the game, and has several voice channels to accommodate any number of groups in the game at the same time. Discord is never required, but is certainly highly encouraged. You'll often see members sitting in the general voice channel just "shooting the shit" together.

Hello there! Long time FFXIV RPer looking for an FC and connections for my main, M’Shugo Jutah after a brief break away. A couple of things to note: · I would prefer RP partners to be 18+ due to some of the more mature themes that Shugo is involved in · I am located in the US in CST and typically in game 2-3 days a week and on weekends. Since I am not in-game as often, I highly encourage Discord RP since it is a much more flexible medium for me. I can be reached at Hufflepug#5984 · I am looking for an FC that has a good amount of members and that would fit Shugo’s interests well. · Here is a link to my player directory for any other questions about me as an RPer About the Character If any of this interests you, please feel free to contact me! I’m very open and receptive to any ideas.

balmung Saint Reinette’s University and Orphanage <SR-UO>
Higura posted a topic in Free Company Hall
Saint Reinette’s University <SR-UO> Saint Reinette’s University and Orphanage is a school-themed free company on Balmung, that has will be seeing it's third anniversary in January of 2019. While the overall theme is that of a school, and the setting reflects this. However, the University is intended as a hub covering a range of RP tropes. This includes, but is not limited to: common school activities (Like classes!),, story-driven plots, combat, slice of life, high adventure and goofy tavern antics. We accept members both new and old to RP, so long as they have an interest in the company. Interested parties may find everything they need to get started on THIS page. The University is located in Ward 2 of the Lavender beds. Three buildings make up its location. The Primary School Hall (Saint Reinette’s University itself) is located at. Ward 2, plot 33. The ‘Grandfather Clock’ (A locally owned tavern right down the road) is at ward 2, plot 54. The ‘Sentō Box’ (A Hingan themed bath house) is located at ward 2, plot 56. Saint Reinette’s University is accepting of all sorts of folks, regardless if they’re a veteran or novice at roleplaying. We are LGBT friendly, and have a focus on the inclusiveness of our members in plots, roleplay events, or out of character antics on our discord server. You may join said discord server HERE. Voice chat is non-compulsory, but it could be fun! (... non-compulsory means you don’t gotta do it!) So, you find yourself intrigued by a school themed free company and have an interest in joining? Well, It’s easy enough to apply! You have a few options. While ingame, send an application to the free company; and someone will be able to assist you at their earliest convenience. Join our Discord server, and introduce yourself. An Admin or Moderator will assist you. Contact me (Higura Gainishigi) in-game. Alternatively, you can send me a message here on Hydaelyn Roleplayer Coalition. Additionally, I am available on Discord. You can reach me at Higura#1869. With any of the above options, the following will happen: Any member of the staff (Admins, Moderators, etc.) will instruct you to take a look at the University Policies. This is a collection of both IC (In-Character) and OOC (Out of Character) guidelines and rules. Lenient rules and regulations set forth to help keep people from upsetting one another or causing trouble. After that, the individual assisting you will work with you in regards to your RP character. Questioning about them and their personality. Very brief stuff. They will also likely send you a link to the University Roster. It’s a good idea to figure out if you want your character to be a member of the staff, or a student. Finally, they (Myself or another admin) will schedule an interview. This is an IC (In-Character) interview that will double as a practice RP session, and that's it. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. (We do not accept non-company teachers. Please do not ask.) -
Hey! I'm fairly new to FFXIV. I tried it out years ago, managed to get a character on Balmung, but wasn't sold on the race I'd picked and didn't know if I'd be able to get another character on the server. As a result, I only leveled to 11 and threw in the towel. With Shadowbringers, I thought I'd try to dive in again since everyone swears by the game. I'm having fun so far. I never realized how detailed this game was. I don't know how actively I'll roleplay, but I'd love the opportunity to see what the crystal dc has to offer, wherever it happens to be. Are there guides to RP active areas & tips for jumping in?

Introduction The Thanalan Acquisitions and Reliquarium (RELIC) is a medium-intensity roleplaying free company on the Balmung server of Final Fantasy XIV. We come from a range of backgrounds and are a mostly tight circle of friends who prefer quality over quantity in membership. We’re NA Based, with most of our events happening between the hours of 4-11PM EST on weekdays, and late on Fridays and Saturdays. RELIC prides itself on collaboration with several other groups and works hard to coordinate schedules with its partners. We’re located in the Goblet, ward 9, plot 15. We are currently using a Monster of the Week hack for our main quests and events. Background Thanalan Acquisitions was established by a notoriously belligerent, stubborn, private, and ambitious man, Professor Gray (G’rha Nunh), with the intent of realizing his lifelong dream of establishing his own museum. More importantly, after having had enough run-ins with dangerous megalomaniacs and desperate men (and having had his own share of mistakes and hard-learned lessons), Gray sought to create a place where dangerous, unspeakable, esoteric artifacts could be safely contained where they would be unreachable by the likes of those who would seek to abuse them–people, admittedly, like the man he had once been. This secondary goal is kept close to the chest, and only reclaimers and curators know about this goal. In order to facilitate the attainment of these artifacts, as well as to help fund the museum, an acquisitions operation was promptly formed to generate a steady revenue stream as well as help make a name for themselves. What We Do We’re scholars, treasure-hunters, well-intentioned thieves, and adventurers! Our RP largely revolves around acquisition of artifacts and day-to-day museum life through our robust Quest System, occasional public events centered around entertainment and education of the public, as well as taking acquisition requests from both NPCs, FC Members, and non-FC members alike to facilitate community engagement and help deliver plot hooks and light worldbuilding. This takes the form of event-based oneshots and lighthearted, energetic, pulp adventure novel fun. Additionally, more intense arcs continue in the background on a fairly consistent basis with major events taking place biweekly–these are the backbone of the closeted, quiet goal of attainment and containment of dangerous and unpredictable artifacts. Quests RELIC operates on a Quest System, with 3 primary forms of content. Main Quests are time-limited quests which advance the overarching RELIC narrative, and are explicitly DM’d by Officers. Sidequests are quests which may or may not have a deadline, and are often able to be DM’d by anyone, with any style you prefer–Officers ask for logs and results of these events, and will communicate with a DM what to expect. Sidequests may be just for fun, or they may open up new and previously unforeseen routes for the MSQ to take! Lastly, we have Character Quests which are our form of user-generated content! Often DM’d by the creator, unless specifically requested, these events are any character-centric or user-submitted quest or quest chain and open up involvement from our membership beyond simply running or participating in events we put out. Attached are examples of each! Main Quest Sidequest Character Quest New quests are generally thrown up weekly barring significant life circumstances, or if prep for a given event is particularly daunting--so there's generally something to do! Roles Within the Company Roles are largely fluid and little more than a way of distinguishing particular dynamics pertinent to museum life and providing flavor to RP. There is considerable overlap and any member may be active in several roles at once. That being said, we do have several designated roles which influence the interactions within the company. Curators are responsible for research and identifying goods, and often helm expeditions to retrieve them. They are also responsible with expanding the museum. Curators are expected to turn a private room into a personal exhibit hall based around their own theme and interests. Current exhibits will be listed on the company tumblr (here!). They are the closest thing to a supervisory role within the company, and are always fully briefed on the full motives of the company. All other roles are encouraged to repurpose their rooms however they like, be it a private place to stay, a study, a vault, what-have-you--but museums do need to, well, museum! Reclaimers are the muscle of the company, handling artifact retrieval, acquisitions jobs, and wetwork. They also make up the bulk of the staff! Conservators are responsible for restoring and maintaining collections, as well as the occasional recreation of a device or artifact. They’re the tinkerers of the company. Custodians are responsible for handling museum affairs, interacting with the public, and helping with social events. This is largely suited for alts, or as a secondary role, considering the casual nature of this position. Mentees are often younger characters, accepted on a provisional basis, who do safer, low-risk jobs at the museum while acquiring valuable experience. They may be wards, interns, or aspiring heroes who don’t quite have the age or experience for the fields of glory. This role was designed to facilitate the youth of RELIC. Most of these are alts, and it is not recommended you apply as your main. Who We Want We’re looking for members who are active in game, as well as proactive in pitching story ideas, arcs, and events, in a collaborative effort. Participation in events, as well as producing ideas for events oneself is strongly encouraged. If you’re unfamiliar with running events, we’re happy to help you! Any character with a history in mercenary work or adventuring, scholarly pursuits, or craftsmanship with any interest in museum/acquisition work or containment and protection of highly volatile artifacts is a good fit for the company. We are predominantly good-aligned, though we veer into neutral territory frequently–most of our membership, if placed on an alignment spectrum, are Chaotic Neutral, Neutral Good, and Chaotic Good. Outright evil characters are discouraged, though exceptions can be made if they’re played exceptionally well and add to the overall narrative experience. We try to keep our membership small and tight-knit, but active. Please be understanding of this atmosphere. However, you are not required to be in the Free Company to be a part of our events, and if you are already in another Company you are welcome to be an affiliate and spend time in our discord and linkshell! Interested? Contact tsundozer#4085 for any questions on discord, /tell an officer in-game (Professor Gray, K'Velkha Odh, Sleepy Cat), send a message here, check out our tumblr or fill out our application! Hope to hear from you soon!

In-Character: The Shield of the Scions is a branch of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. With recent events, and many of our comrades being comatose, it is up to us to be the shield to the innocents of Hydaelyn! Being a Shield, we must take the fight to the Eikons and their mind-controlled slaves. Some of our active duties will be to patrol areas of heightened Eikon activity, rooting out suspected cults of chosen Eikons that some beast tribes send into civilization to cause chaos amongst the masses. We are looking for more brave adventurers to fill our ranks so that we can take the fight to the enemies of Hydaelyn! Out-of-Character: Hi there! This is my new Free Company the Shield of the Scion! The details right now are sparse because it was just made and we are slowly starting to get some new members. My hope is that as we get more people, we will start making Story Lines for not only the FC as a whole, but everyone can join in and make their own Side Stories that would flesh out this group. We use a simplified version of the dice rolling mechanic I have seen with other RP FCs, but some of the RP events will also be us queing up to go fight the different Eikons like Ifrit or Susano as an example during their trials. So far I have a Discord made for the FC, and in the future we will possibly make an website. Another future thing to get that we are starting to save up on is to get some kind of house, preferably in the Goblet. I hope that some of this has piqued your interest dear reader. You can contact me on my character Mina Kelter, or you can contact my SO Brenda Pancake to send you an invite. Or send me a PM on here to get a hold of me. Thank You! -
Hello there! I'm looking to make some connections in game with fellow players. I've been roleplaying for some years now but coming to FF14 to roleplay, it's a bit tedious to get some kind of roleplay (especially if you're a Lalafell like me). Below is basically my character profile! I am looking to travel between servers as well for any RP story as well, not just in Balmung! Please feel free to PM. I know that this character is chaotic neutral but I'm sure there are some out there who want some spice in there RP! :3 Name: Cicada Valenda Age: 25 Race: Lalafell Height: Small Orientation: Homosexual/Heterosexual Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Location: Ul'dah Occupation: Growing Arcanist and Paladin A Lalafells Personality Trait Cicada's personality is one of those, you don't really know a person's true colors until you find them in the act of something or had done something horrible. Cicada has very nice, kind, and caring aspect to him. Very gentleman like as well, and will always make sure to keep on a good conversation. Then, there is his true side, the evil side that he longed to keep at bay but from circumstances that have happened to him over the year, it just got stronger. With that being said, you may see him smirking, grinning at certain situations. He can be awkward at times, though he'd play it off. So you can say he has sinister, carefree, and not a care for authority kind of personality (Still working out the kinks in it though, but scenes with him would help!) A Bit About His Backstory Early Years The little Lalafell was born and raised in the area of Illdyshire. (I know, weird for a Lalafell to be born and raised not in Ul'dah!) Where most of his family were all into the various magicks that Eorzea has to offer. More of which weren't the destructive types, like healing. As Cicada grew older, he wasn't too fond of the healing magick and even tried to conjure stuff but to no avail. To his family, it was apparent that he couldn't do such magick and he even told them that, the magick they were doing wasn't to his liking and want to do more with it than just heal or not even heal. After a long harsh talking to by his family, they decided that he would no longer be part of this family and had banished him from the grounds. From that day forward, he had made sure to take things he needed and enough gil for his travels. He was angry of course, being thrown out like that just because he didn't want to learn such magicks as his family. It took him at least close to a year to travel all the way to Ul'dah where, he only had a few gil left, beaten and battered clothing from running and hiding from the monstrosities trying to kill him along the way. From there, it took him awhile to try to find work, asking here and there for anything to help him out. One took him in as a servant but he didn't like it too much even if it paid decent gil. He resigned from that and opted to try to learn arcany by himself. It was confusing, very confusing to try to find out what the book meant and all the symbols that are in it. It wasn't long until he figured out how to do simple spells from the book, particularly healing (which he was ashamed of). After that, he did odd jobs, cooking, weaving, jewelry, things like that to make some more gil for better clothing. There was another who saw him doing so, and offered to take him in, train him in acrany and the added benefit of being a gladiator. He accepted right away, at long last he was going to be something of value. Go forward a few years, he was good at arcany now and was exceptional in the gladiator way, that he was promoted to be the person's personal bodyguard. Though, not too long after, Cicada was badly hurt in the face by powerful magick thus leaving him permanently blind. It was then, that even as loyal as he was and how hard this decision was for the person, he had to be let go and couldn't live with this person no longer. That made him feel very inferior, being blind and not being cared for because of his ailment. He felt angry now, fuel to make himself not so inferior, he decided to hone his ailment into an ability (think of Daredevil or an Asura from Dungeon Fighter Online) so that he didn't have to use a cane and could walk normally, even fight and use magick just by the 4 senses, of sound, taste, touch and smell. Present Time It's been at least a year since what has happened to him, he's grown with his powers and blindness. He's still homeless of course, but he's been known to sleep at random houses or in abandoned places. The stuff he has on, he's bought with the remaining money he had left and some of the stuff he does have, well, let's just say he's 'borrowed' You may see him around, even at this so called Quickstand in Ul'dah (dreadfully loud) -
VENUS FLYTRAP WANTS YOU! We are a casual group lightly focused on endgame content in Final Fantasy XIV, currently situated on the Crystal data center. We are currently looking for members to fill the following roles — - Melee Physical DPS - Ranged Physical DPS - Ranged Magick DPS Because this is a casual group, we also encourage any interested to present alternate roles they’re keeping geared, be they Tank, Healer, or Damage-dealer. Flexibility is key for progress and fun — we’re willing to shake things up to make sure the members of our static are having fun, but we will hold fast to designated roles during pressing content. Currently, we are scheduled for one day per week — Thursday, at 8:00pm EDT/EST. Understandably, this is far less of a commitment than many statics aim for. Because of this, we encourage static members seeking more content to feel free to hit up Party Finder groups after our designated static time, regardless of loot-lockouts. Our sole raiding evening is meant to provide flexibility for people with many commitments — we don’t want it to be a barrier to anyone’s fun! The rules of our static are few and far between: Hate speech of any kind is not tolerated. We are an LGBTQ+ friendly group, and strive to be inclusive. This extends to how we represent ourselves in FFXIV and beyond. Fun comes first — we have one night together, and if we’re not having fun, we’re not doing it right. Levity is welcome. Laughter is welcome. And… Progress is our goal — even though we’re a distinctly casual group, we are working to clear hard content. This will mean coming to the fight with a clear head and readiness to work. We just so happen to be doing it with people who know how to have a good time We’re here to fight, not to be right. To clarify — if you’re a Lord of Logic, tend to split hairs over semantics, or get worked up when your knowledge isn’t recognized as authority, we are not the group for you. On the other hand, if you prioritize collaboration, camaraderie, and working as a team… Hit us up so we can talk roles and details! Discord: DeerNoises#0749

Red Lantern Society is tentatively opening it’s doors to players looking to explore content built by adults for adults. A delicate name inspired by the hanging crimson lanterns of Kugane’s own pleasure houses and districts, the Red Lantern Bordello serves as the focal point for the Society’s business – a brothel nestled in the quiet Lavender Beds, featuring breathtaking views both within and without. Founded and managed by Tsukiko Tanshi, an exile from the Far East who entered into the profession as a means of making sure both she and her father would never need to risk themselves in their refugee status, the business is built two-fold; to allow prostitutes, companions, and other variations of erotic workers or those who dabble in the business a place where they can work safely and without threat to their person, and giving those who have no place to go but offer skills that can support the brothel under the Silver Lotus Rehabilitation Clinic. Our desire as a free company is to add to the community in a positive manner; we’re adult-focused and aware of the stigma that comes with that, but we wish to bring together creative players and characters who are interested in not just participating in a brothel and rehabilitation atmosphere, but also engage with the community as a whole. We want to network, entertain, adventure, and just generally enjoy ourselves while maintaining high-quality interactions that leave those who choose to interact with us feeling comfortable about returning, and bringing friends. We are not an entertainment company in the grandest sense of the term. While we might hire a performer to entertain for a private party, we do not encourage the application of those who absolutely need a stage to stand on. We’re not a theater troop, we’re not a cabaret, we’re not a discotheque. Our entertainment comes in the form of quiet and intimate lounge nights where patrons can enjoy the company of those who work in the brothel, loaning out staff and services to other free companies who might need some extra hands for an event they’re running, exclusive and playful events where all business members can enjoy a night off while getting to know one another, and more – on top of the obvious. We’re small, and wish to remain such. We do not encourage the application of those who are looking for constant activity online – while we’re still figuring out just how many we want our ‘small’ to be, chances are that we will experience content and activity lulls harder than other free companies because we’re aiming for high quality over high quantity. We’re not looking for dramatics, and we are firm that our members are expected to maintain a positive face in the community, both in-game and on any media related to it. We’re adults entertaining adults, and expect all involved to behave as such. We’re currently looking for: ✓ Employees of all types - the dual aspect of the free company is intentional, as the business is built to be able to support itself while offering characters the opportunity to develop their own skills. Is your character someone who lost their job and needs a place to get some funds between work? A trader who knows how to find a good deal? A craftsman who needs a purpose? A mercenary who wouldn’t mind a stable bed and a good meal in exchange for keeping a few workers safe while they go about their duties? Get in touch! You do not have to play a sexual character to be in the free company, you just need to be okay with knowing it happens. ✓ Alliances and Associates – we’re out here to network and ally businesses together. We want to add flavor to other free companies with the same heart as us. Do your broody sea swabbies need a night of decompression at a comfortable place? Does your bar need a few pretty faces to sling drinks and get those meals out? Do you have a job that might need a bit more muscle than what you’ve got on hand? Look us up! We want to help build your stories and add to our own, and keep the world feeling a little more alive. ✓ Freelancers – already in a free company and don’t want to leave, but you want to explore that side of your character? Hey, we want to help that. Freelancers are pseudo-members of the business, and the pool that we dive into if we don’t have what a client needs, which is going to happen with our size. We don’t care what free company you’re in, even if it’s another adult business! We just want to help you get out there and have some fun in a different way. You’re never pressured to join, and you’re always able to decline an offered job. Get your role-play, even if it’s not your current FC’s focus! ✓ Community – we’re not interested in unfriendly competition. We know the market has plenty of adult-centered venues and free companies, and we want to work with them however we can to enrich everyone’s play. If we end up not being the right brothel for a prostitute or companion character, we want to be able to suggest another that might be more up their alley. When we have characters who have reached the point that it’s time to move on, we want to be able to help them connect with people who will keep that angle going, and we want to be on the list for people to feel good about doing the same with us. ✓ Roomies – if you’ve got yourself a character that is capable of making a room and you want to lend a hand, we’d love to take them in! Room assistants are OOC members (usually) who have kindly donated characters to help us build up private rooms that expand on the brothel and rehabilitation clinic, as we have a small plot and space is limited. We’re happy to help finance decorating, and have several crafters and gatherers on hand. Can’t think of an idea for a room but want to help? We’re constantly considering ideas, so if this interests you, just let us know! We’re not interested in: ✗ Drama & Gossips – we support in-character drama, we don’t endorse out-of-character dramatics. If you can’t play well with others, can’t share the limelight or take the time to help others who are struggling, you aren’t going to find a fit in the community we’re building. We are also very strict about our confidentiality and hold a ‘what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas’ mentality for a lot of what we do. What people come to us for is their business, and we expect our members to respect that. ✗ Underage Players/Characters – while we may sometimes run an event made for all ages (a good example is our Wolf & Rabbit hunt, which is a playful hide-and-seek in the open world), the business itself is by adults, for adults. We require anyone who enters into the building with the intention of interacting to be over the age of eighteen, both in-character and out, and this extends to prospective members as well. This extends to your guests, as well. Please, don’t put anyone in an uncomfortable situation, it’s not okay. ✗ Expecting Handouts – this is a big no-go. While we allow alternate characters as well as main characters, and characters of all levels, we’re not a parking space. Our small size comes with the expectation that those who want to be a part of the free company are willing to help build it up, and this goes even into Discord. We get that the head space for a character can leave as fast as it came around, but if the only time that you’re around is when there’s gil to be made or you show no participation in collaborative discussions, we’ll consider ourselves an ill fit and you’ll be dismissed. This did get long, so if you got through all of that, you’re wonderful. Have questions or are interested? Feel free to send me a PM here, or contact me on Discord @ Tsukiko Tanshi#9604. I’m happy to answer anything, or even begin networking!

Age: 44 Race: Highlander Gender: Male Birthplace: Ala Mhigo Physical Description: Standing at an even six feet high, with jet-black hair and a well-trimmed stubbly beard on his face. A few scars marr his appearance, though two in particular stand out with one over his right eye, and the other across his right cheek. His form is that of a warrior, keeping high regard in his physical attributes-- dedicating a good portion of his time to training or exercising. Background: Born in Ala Mhigo to a guardsman and a huntress and trained to fight at an early age as most Highlanders were, Wolfe's childhood was spent learning to wield a blade. It was all, for all intents and purposes, for nothing as Kormak's early life was quickly brought into the fold of the Garlean occupation. When he came of sufficient age, he was conscripted to serve in the Garlean military, eventually earning the title of Oen, and going by Kormak oen Wolfe for quite some time. When the rebellion of Ala Mhigo finally overtook his home and freed it from its Garlean masters, Kormak, in kind, shoved a blade through his commander's back and went to re-join his people, eventually setting out to do mercenary work in order to better facilitate coin and contacts for its aid. Skills: Tactical analysis, hand-to-hand combat, skilled melee combatant, proficient with gunblades, knowledge of magitek, knowledge of Garlean military procedure, iron liver, anger.

The New Dawn “In a world full of darkness, hope is still seeing the light amidst it.” War has displaced many across the land, in Eorzea and beyond. Families and homes have been destroyed. Crime runs rampant throughout so much of the world, and enslaves those who seem to have no other options. The evils of the world profit from the war, and trample any others underfoot. In such times, many feel as if they have nowhere to turn, and nowhere to hide from what plagues them. The sanctuary of the New Dawn strives to change that. Overseen by Ahzra’li Lhomi and his partner, Marcus Feral, the New Dawn is a shelter for those who need to recover from their traumas or hide away from greater powers that wish to hurt them. There, people will find protection, comfort, medical care, and those who wish to help find resolution to problems, no matter what form they come in. There is strength in numbers, and strength in togetherness. WHO WE ARE The New Dawn is a heavy RP Free Company on the Balmung server of FFXIV, focused on characters who are being hunted, recovering from traumas, and adventurers and healers who wish to help them. Outside of roleplay, we strive to be a close-knit, welcoming, and relaxed community for our members and friends. Our goal is to provide a place for roleplayers to come and tell their stories; we encourage all of our members to bring their own personal plots and explore them with us. While we are not a traditional adventuring Free Company, through our members’ personal stories, characters will have the opportunity to venture out into the world of Eorzea and face dangers, intrigue, and evils in the field. While roleplay is the central focus of our FC, our members enjoy spending time with each other out of character, as well. We have an active discord to keep in touch and roleplay on when we can't otherwise be in game. We regularly run FFXIV content (including dungeons, raiding, maps, mount farming), and run other RP events such as a bi-weekly tavern and a small Garlean group. We also join each other for other games, such as Overwatch, Armello, and online Cards Against Humanity. We even work on art together through screensharing! We are a group that loves to be together, and want to expand this circle to make new friends. What kinds of characters we are looking for: Characters needing a place to recover from traumas. Characters with a few screws loose. Characters who need a place to hide from those who want to do harm to them. Good-aligned, martial-focused characters willing to guard the sanctuary and go afield to combat any dangers to their charges. Healers and physicians who would like to tend to the sanctuary’s infirmary. The New Dawn is lore-strict in terms of capabilities and backgrounds of our characters. We do not tolerate characters who are blatantly written to be unrealistic in terms of combat capabilities, magic, or other abilities. What kinds of players we are looking for: Mature, friendly, relaxed – We are run by players who all understand that real life can be hectic. We have jobs, families, and other obligations. No one should ever feel obligated to play a game. We want to be here for you to have fun and relax. 18+. Due to the nature of our roleplay, which often encompasses dark and mature themes, we are accepting 18+ players only. Storytellers – The New Dawn is designed to be a platform and community for you to tell your story, and to take part in other peoples’. While the officers will occasionally run storylines of their own, The New Dawn’s content will be largely made up of what our members put into it. We encourage ALL of our members to occasionally run storylines. Strong command of grammar – Because of our heavy RP tags and focus on storytelling, we encourage our members to be as grammatically correct as they are able to be. While we all occasionally misspell a word, we would like to see some effort placed in the writing of their emotes (such as capitalization, punctuation, and brackets to indicate an OOC comment). LGBT+ Friendly – It goes without saying, but The New Dawn is LGBT+ friendly. Many of our characters fall within this, also! The New Dawn is a small group, and we will be likely to stay that way to focus on the relationships and growth between our characters. Our group has been together for several years prior to starting this Free Company, and we will not be going anywhere. We are active throughout the year, and are always looking for new roleplay to explore. How to join: Interested in joining? We have a brief application to be filled out here. After filling out the application, one of the officers will contact you to go over any questions or concerns you may have, and then offer you an invitation to our Free Company. New recruits will be placed at a trial rank for two weeks so they can try out our group and determine if we are a good fit for them. If all is well in two weeks, we will promote the recruit to a full member! Questions? For any additional information or questions, feel free to contact our officers in game (As Ahzra'li Lhomi or Marcus Feral). You can also contact us on discord at any time of the day (Atanamir#8894 or Sephirah#3362). For even more information, you can take a look at our site here. Our Free Company hall is located in the Lavender Beds - Ward 1, Plot 38. Feel free to stop in any time!
