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!

FC Name: Torchlight Ventures FC Tag: <Torch> Leaders: Azrul Valker, Elizabeth Ravencroft Officers: Xara Jaqah, Rikha Minhai, Jena Fairgraves, Mister Gray FC House Address - The Goblet: Ward 5, Plot 60 "The Brazier" Type of FC - Roleplaying (Medium-to-Heavy RP) Active Time - 5 PM PST / 8 PM EST - 9 PM PST / 12 AM EST Alignment - Lawful Neutral Source Link - http://www.torchlightventures.net/ FC Tags/Keywords - Adventurer, Mercenaries, Medium RP, Heavy RP, Contracting, Trade, NA Players IC Background - Elizabeth Ravencroft, daughter of the noble heads of the Ishgardian House Ravencroft, had grown tired of her life, limited within her house, and concealed under the foreboding shadows of her family. As such, she set out to make her mark on the world, independent from her family. With the idea of a contracting company in her mind, she sought out those who would know the line of work well, due to experience: a mercenary for hire by the name of Azrul Valker, and his work partner at the time. The three met at a small cafe in the Goblet and discussed the possibility of this company. After a lengthy conversation, they were both convinced to come on board the founding of this company, whose name was decided then and there as Torchlight Ventures. Enlisting the presence of a few more of Elizabeth’s former associates, including a discrete information broker by the name of Rikha Minhai, the group established themselves as an official, licensed contracting company, and rented out a small home in the Goblet to begin work out of. As their work increased, so too did the number of contractors, mercenaries, and tradesmen signing on for work. As such, it wasn’t long before Torchlight found itself in need of more space. As luck would have it, an expansion to the public housing divisions was imminent, and the group was able to secure a larger estate in La Noscea, which came to be known as the Sconce. Torchlight Ventures only continued to grow from there, hiring more employees, including a gifted mage by the name of Jena Fairgraves, and an excitable chef in the form of Xara Jaqah. Torchlight also continued making a name for itself for its persistent and dedicated work performance. In light of their daughters’ success, however, Lord and Lady Ravencroft wished to conduct business with the group, and invest in their fair share of the profits. As part of a business arrangement between the two groups, a company accountant was sent from the Ravencrofts to Torchlight, a large, professional businessman by the name of Mister Gray. Mister Gray proved a key component to the continued success of Torchlight Ventures, later going on to work out a deal alongside Azrul to acquire a large manor back in the Goblet, which was given the name of the Brazier. Acquiring permission from the Adventurer’s Guild to draft its own leve board, Torchlight Ventures continues to offer its goods and services to those with the gil to pay for it. The group also finds itself looking for new talent willing to sign on for employment with the company. OOC Background/Description - Torchlight Ventures is a Medium-to-Heavy RP Free Company looking for more of everything a contracting company would typically employ. We are a lore following, lawful contracting company looking to bolster our ranks and offer weekly events, primarily focused on contract work with occasional slice of life, and a weekly dedicated casual PvE night to run content together as a group. If this all sounds compelling, take a look at our recruitment site seen up in the links section for more information about who we are!

It all started with one amazing man. Perhaps not even he knew the respect he gained or the consequences for soaring on the wings of perfection. Captain Absolonloix Beaureux arrived in Limsa Lominsa with a charming disposition and coin from a family in far lands. Without hesitation, his first purchase had been a cruiser. His mistress became known as the Midnight Pearl and over time her reputation grew to lay claim to one of the few princesses of the sea. { Steadfast ★ Sanctuary ★ Serenity } In times of impending darkness, there are few who go against the bounds that life restricts us with. The Midnight Pearl is founded upon creating a sanctuary for those who cannot face the realm's turmoil alone. They offer a group of steadfast characters who will do everything in their power to see serenity come to a world of horror. They are protectors of the social, natural, and material worlds. They are leaders in war and in health. But, perhaps more than anything: they are genuine, dedicated, and a guiding light away from the cruelties of the realm. { World ★ You ★ Us } The Midnight Pearl is a group of good intentioned characters. We are a collection of storytellers looking towards furthering personal and company roleplay. The Midnight Pearl is founded upon inclusion and is built with family in mind. It is for this reason that the guild has a limited amount of slots available for recruitment. Our stories include battling the grimdark aspects of the XIV continuity (Imperials, the void, and other blackmarket themes), assisting the Grand Companies with bounties and other leves, rescue and rehabilitation, and business. Beyond the stories that are member orientated we also host a variety of socials and community events that are more upbeat in nature. All those that are interested can contact management on enjin or in game with any questions. We request that you read over the guild site, and make sure you acknowledge our guild policies before joining. Thank you so much for reading thus far, and we hope to see you soon!

Realm: Jenova FC Name: Golden Arcana Tag: <Gold> Leader: Orianna Chant Type: Heavy RP FC Active Times: 4PM - 3 AM EST Headquarters: Ward 32, Plot 7 Mist Application: Discord or In-Game Discord: DM for Discord information Introduction Home to the Eorzean socialites, monetarists, and upper echelons of the great cities, The Golden Arcana provides a place of luxury, entertainment, and cover for the wealthy and their illicit activities. Within the mist perched high above the Seagaze markets, the ritzy nightclub can be found bustling with activity. One can find the place with ease following the sound of music and and ebb and flow of patrons that flock to the venue. To the people who work the Arcana, this place is family. A home to those who have none, where the excitement never dies out. It’s early morning closing just a pause in the rhythm but never the end to their endless charade. One seeking business in the arcane, procurement in mage stones, illegal relics, arcane learning and alchemy can find their needs met here by the varied members who call this place home. OOC Golden Arcana is run by adults. It's a casual RP heavy FC. We're newly formed, and while our members do participate in content, we're more focused on story telling than content. Our story telling tends to take a darker route, we touch upon topics of a darker nature. At the same time, we also have plenty of light-hearted and bonding moments, but as an FC who's premise is operating at times on the other side of the law. Our company is filled with characters that tend to be on the medium to low power end spectrum. We are not gods, we are not an unstoppable force and we more than likely would not be a good home for characters of that nature. All members have a say and place in advancing our FC's story. We make an effort to include and take into account what everyone can bring to the table for plots both fc wide and personal. Also to note is we do not having a "ranking system" all roles that are not Lead or Adviser share the exact same rank privileges. They are separated by 'jobs' within the Arcana. RULES The Golden Rule: Be kind, be patient, be considerate. Remember that behind the characters are real people. Not everyone will get along, but arguments must be handled gracefully. No harassment or racial slurs will be tolerated within the company. Do not share other member's personal information and do not harass members for personal information. Remember to have fun and it is alright to say no if you are no longer having fun. This is a community and our goal is to enjoy what we do! This FC allows mature discussion topics but please remember to take all NSFW writing and chat to private channels. What are we looking for in characters? The Arcana is open to most types of characters however here is a brief rundown of roles we would love to see characters take on within our FC, Performers, Mages (Of all specialties), alchemists, void specialists, scholars, enchanters, dungeon delvers, and transporters.

THE HANAMACHI PAVILION Welcome to the Hanamachi. Where we feed your fantasies in the lap of luxury. The Hanamachi caters to the upper echelon of Hydaelyn in all aspects of pleasure and leisure. Whatever you desire, whatever you dream, put in a request with the hostesses and we will match you with the person most suitable for you. But don’t be fooled, the ladies are always to be respected and those who break the rules pay the consequence of the game. Enjoy. WHAT WE DO The Hanamachi is meant to be an immersive experience for wealthy guests. From the moment they walk in the door, we make them feel like the most treasured person in the room. The whole of the Pavilion is our stage and the guest is the star we revolve around. Just don't forget, this is our stage. Although the Hanamachi is run by Yakuza (An extension of Okochi Ichizoku) it is and always will be primarily a hostess club. We indulge in D/M/ERP, related to many topics, but we wish to stay as close to the business as possible, and nobody is required to be involved in story arcs or content they do not wish to be. Inside the Pavilion we offer various pleasure services, all escorted and given by a hostess of your choosing, including tea service, the cloud lounge restaurant, the sake' bar entertainment area, several hot spring options, massage, and nyotaimori. Many private rooms have been prepared to welcome our guests and give them an intimate experience while taking in the leisure of being pampered and catered to by the ladies. WHAT WE NEED We are seeking new employees to be hostesses. At the moment we have filled all security positions, but we do have several house positions, including maids, waitresses, and administrative clerks. Hostesses are not required to offer ERP services. This is purely up to the player to decide for themselves. We welcome all players to come and see our housing and enjoy some time with the ladies before we throw the official opening event, which we hope very much will be in the next couple of weeks. WHERE: Shirogane. Ward 3. Plot 28. MEDIA: bit.ly/thehana IN-GAME CONTACTS: Miho Winter, Seven Alpha, Chiyoko Okochi, Koko Moks.
