"Ahahahaha! Fancy yourself an aspiring sorceress?" "Are you brave enough to dive into the deep of matters and some perplexities of the arcane that some others would consider.... unnatural?" "Well then, would-be witches. Wherever you come from, you may find yourself at home with this wonderfully wicked band!" https://caliginosus.carrd.co/ A newly christened Free Company, this dark alliance of witches is seeking out those who find themselves sharing in the circle's ambitions. Will they see themselves finding work with an underground order of mages? This might be the Company for them! There is a focus on magic and intrigue as an overarching theme of the storylines this Company will be about, perhaps even coming into conflict with the law from time to time.

Hello! Just throwing this up to see what kind of people might be interested in my bun here in case I never stumble across you guys in-game! About me: I am CST and work early mornings to about lunchtime M-F, longer days on Monday. This puts me to bed pretty early: between 8-9 PM most nights. That said, I do not mind Discord RP and actually it's pretty good for the day-to-day stuff I like as well -- and on Discord I can reply at work on many occasions, albeit maybe not super long posts as I'd be phone typing. Stuff I'm looking for: Long-Term stuff preferred. I want Red to make friends/partners/maybe a lover? (this is very long term haha) Casual/slice-of-life stuff, but arcs and plots are just fine! Discord availability (not mandatory but very much preferred). Meeting in-game first is just fine, of course! Relatively compatible availability times, obvious reasons. Long-term consequences for characters are super nice. Although death is certainly not. I am open to certain things if the story calls for it, but would need to be heavily discussed if beyond "serious" wounds. I'm talking maiming, permanent debilitating injury, etc. Ah but who is the bun, I hear you asking? Behold: Rhosyn Ysgarlad I think I'm pretty thorough in the carrd about his details. So I shall provide some hooks: I'm very very very interested in that there "Secondary" bit in the About section. If it ain't your cup of tea, by all means I have RP'd for years without it! I just enjoy it and would prefer to include it if you're up for it. Native Dalmascan, and Veena. More familiar with the northern regions of the nation as well as other Veena tribes, despite his living there being rather short. Red has traveled far and wide across Ilsabard and Othard as a Garlean "citizen." As well as brief forays into Hingashi and Thavnair. He is relatively new to Eorzea, but if roughly familiar with the broad strokes of the realm. High aether reserves. Very noticeable to those who are sensitive in the aether of others'. Nothing of it is out of sorts, and it's not super abnormal, but he's definitely quite the aether battery. Rare Info, ask me first: He learned Red Magic from a resistance cell in Ala Mhigo a few years before the liberation. Said cell was discovered and murdered by the Empire. How Red survived, or where he was at the time is unknown. But those from the area during that time might recognize him. If you've gotten this far and are interested, let me provide a writing sample. I have permission to share this, and I like to as I feel it's a very good scene. It is from the character that used to be -- before Rhosyn took his place. It's a fairly sad scene. Also I'm pretty sure I did this on my phone from bed late at night a few years ago. Writing/RP Sample Either leave a post here or a DM here or if you see me in game poke me there as well! If, alas, none of those work for you then my Discord is fine but I do prefer to touch base elsewhere first. Aquizit#4130 Thank you for taking the time in checking this out! Hope to hear from interested parties soon.

Accepting applications as of January 15th, 2022. Applications will close on March 31st, 2022. Red Lantern Society is 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. ✓ 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#7848. I’m happy to answer anything, or even begin networking! Want to jump straight into joining? Our information and application is here! We look forward to meeting you!

"If you're going to be a scoundrel, at least be a stylish one!" That's the motto of the Raven Syndicate. While others are bashing down doors or stealing treasure with cannon and cutlass, the Raven Syndicate is quietly moving through the shadows and robbing everyone blind. They are a small, selective group of ne'er-do-wells who take a great deal of pleasure in outsmarting the authorities. If you're the type who gets excited about leaving a calling card behind to mock the investigators, then they're the right kind of scallywags for you. We are a Free Company for the folks who want to rob the taverns and brothels blind, and then come back the next morning and pay for their services with their own coin. Though based out of Limsa Lominsa, the Raven Syndicate has offices everywhere. This is a very new Free Company, which means a lot of this will be fleshed out over time. We hope that people will be interested and will help to shape this into something everyone can enjoy! Please be 18+ as the FC concept lends itself to mature themes that may be inappropriate for minors. Feel free to contact me by Discord for more information or message me here.

Yo, yo! I'm here today to introduce my new OC, Arus Kajah! I'm looking for some fresh new connections to write with so I figured I'd advertise here as well. What I'm looking for is pretty standard and hopefully if you are interested we can plot some things out together! I'll toss his carrd here which has a lot of the info below on there! It's still a big WIP since I want to add a lot more to it, but it gets to the basics. What I'm seeking: - Long term plots - Potential connections for Arus - Even one shot/short term things! Quick Overview: Arus in a nutshell is typically arrogant, but has gained that trait through his vast success and knowledge in the world of trade. Sometimes he does weaponize his charm, but only if it'll get him a good deal or a business relationship. In regards to that he generally searches for rare commodities tucked away in the eldest of dungeons or things most deem sacred and sells them for high profits. If he can get his hands on it, it will be turned to coin. Some hooks & plot points: Merchant; Lover of trade - Looking for a specific item or need assistance getting one? Arus will certainly help out, for a price! Both sides of the coin - Arus is skilled in both sides of the market; underground and those with more wholesome views of trade. Wanted? - Arus can be found smiling on all sorts of wanted boards across the star. He mostly thinks they exist out of spite and envy. Ablaze - Arus loves to play with fire in both senses of the term. He's still getting a grasp on it, but the rune tattoos have been helping a lot. My schedule can be kind of wild since I raid and stream most of the week, but we can totally work something out. I look forward to meeting you and your character!

Hello hello! Been a bit a little while since I've visited, but I figured it would be wise to post up a new, fresh request for connections. What I'm currently on the lookout for isn't too specific. The past six months have been difficult, OOCly, and I'd like to dip my toes, so to speak. RP is a fantastic outlet and escape, and the FFXIV community has always scratched whatever itch I harbor at the time. So I hope to meet some of you soon! I'm currently seeking some RP connections for my character, Fen the Fortunate. I'm interested in both longterm plots and one-shots. Brief overview: Fen the Fortunate is friendly, flirtatious, and fetching Ul'dahn miqo'te that aims to make advantageous connections friends with others in various fields of background and expertise. Brief hooks: Fen is an Ul'dahn native and a frequent staple within the city. Anyone who visits can easily happen upon her. Fen can be hired to conduct "pest control", or what most would call mercenary work. Fen operates her own established & clandestine intelligence network. Others can join it. Others can profit from it, too. Fen is a wanted criminal. She had a hand amongst the Alacran who held power over Ul'dah for a time. Fen is fond of the arts, such as music and dance. She enjoys entertaining others and is versed in poetry and ballads from foreign lands, something soothing for someone pining for home. Her carrd, complete with more information, can be viewed here: https://fenthefortunate.carrd.co/
