"S'aa, 'Adventurer'. Buncha prissy fops who run around killing people for coin, but didn't like being called mercenaries and assassins. Iffin' you aren't looking to whore your sword-arm out to the highest bidder, yer in the wrong profession no matter what label they slap on it." The Ratcatchers are the bottom of the barrel, the group that you turn to where the job doesn't matter as much as the pay. A ragtag of low life and those too inexperienced to even be noticed by the many hunting companies. Any job, be it the kidnapping of some poor noble's girl, the collecting of a debt, the retribution upon an unsavory soul, or even the procurement of some rare beast, none of these are beneath that of the Ratcatchers for the right price. Beneath the grunge and grime of the company would be a darker core, one content to remain in the shadows and support the inner workings of the company. Activities even the rank and file may protest to are matters that are indulged in, if necessary. Theft, assault, drug peddling, intimidation, maybe even slavery...aspects like these are matters that are of no concern for those willing to participate. Only so long as such tasks benefit the company and provides them the opportunity to maintain their current aspects and duties. <OOC Information> The Ratcatchers is a hybrid Free Company and discord group focusing our attention on ingame activities and heavy rp, be it raiding/trials, world rp, or hosted events. Our roots have been based by in the days of SWTOR and our little band of rats have evolved and changed throughout the many different games we have went through. Our goal is provide a space for a niche of people that wish to explore darker aspects of rp or participate in morally grey aspects and themes within the Final Fantasy XIV universe. Unlike other free companies, to be involved in our activities or events does not require you to be within the actual Free Company, but rather to communicate through our discord server. Our immediate plans right now is to expand our roster of active FFXIV users to better participate in ingame activities as well as to build connections with other like minded organizations for further engagement. All types of characters are welcome with our company, though our preference are for those more criminally inclined. So long as you are respectful and cooperative within ooc aspects, you can find a place here among the Ratcatchers family. If you have shown interest in the company, or wish to become involved, you may contact me via my discord down below or my ingame name for a IC meet up to discuss the opportunity. Or, if you merely wish to gather information, can always speak to me oocly and I would be more than happy to answer your questions however I can.

LINKSHELL LORE⸻OOC RULES⸻APPLICATION⸻THE CLOAK & DAGGER EBONGUARD is a lore-compliant hybrid IC/OOC criminal network linkshell on Balmung. While oriented primarily toward morally-ambiguous lawbreakers, the linkshell is open for any interested parties to join—after all, picking up the telltale black linkpearls is a simple enough task in and of itself… WHAT DO YOU MEAN HYBRID LINKSHELL? Ebonguard being a hybrid IC/OOC linkshell means basically: the linkshell is meant as an in-character means of communication and exists on an in-character level (as does the network itself), but OOC chatter is not only allowed but encouraged! While the linkshell has a Discord that all members are required to join in order to maintain membership in the in-game linkshell (as our Discord is where major announcements and the like are posted). having an OOC channel in-game is important for organizing and communicating with each other. However, RP over the LS takes precedence over OOC chatter, so members are expected to be polite and respectful if there is a shift toward IC happenings in the channel. WHAT IS EBONGUARD LOOKING FOR? Ebonguard is a criminal network LS, but it’s open for characters of all persuasions and alignments to join due to the fact that, well, it’s an actual linkpearl from an in-character standpoint. As a result, there’s no real restrictions on the sorts of characters we’ll accept. Anything that fits within the scope of the lore goes! This doesn’t mean that every applicant will be accepted into the linkshell, though, since the linkshell itself tends more toward grounded characters with fantastical elements in the background, as opposed to characters who spend every night trying to take over the world or signing a new Void pact. Due to the nature of the network, there’s no IC power structure, and so characters who fulfill any sort of role or archetype are welcome, from information brokers to honest thieves to sellswords and beyond. WHAT KINDS OF EVENTS DOES THE LINKSHELL RUN? Ebonguard has over the course of its run, done story-driven events, criminal shenanigans such as heists and cons, and social events geared toward letting members of the network get to know each other. We are currently looking at getting a longer DMed story going for the LS; for updates about it and to see what has been done so far, check out our scenario tag! The Cloak & Dagger is run by the leader of the linkshell and is intended to provide a hub for the linkshell members to use as they wish. It is located at The Goblet Ward 11 Plot 55 and is currently looking for volunteers who are interested in helping to run a public event on a roughly-monthly basis on Sundays (as schedules allow). For more information, please see this post! The venue is open for public use at all times regardless of membership status. IS EBONGUARD OPEN TO COLLABORATION WITH LIKE-MINDED INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS? We would love to have the chance to collaborate with other groups, especially other crime-centered groups regardless of whether that’re free companies or linkshells. If you are interested in bringing Ebonguard along for a plot you’re interested in running or if you are interested in collaborating with a plot that Ebonguard is running, then contact us and we’ll see how best to work things so that everyone can have fun! (And toss you a link to the Discord.) WHO CAN I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS? The officers of Ebonguard are willing and capable of answering any questions! We are: Leonnaux Altoix (contact first if possible) Aran Aethersmith/Lucien Korbinius Edda Vincents Gwannes Oskwell Additionally, you can contact us directly through the Ebonguard tumblr. We also have a club here on the RPC that houses updates prior to the Linkshell Hall being reinstated and our Crime of Opportunity prompts, which are prompts that we post to our Tumblr biweekly. They are free for anyone to use regardless of whether they're part of the linkshell or not, and they're free to be used however people see fit, so if you see one you like don't be afraid to take one!
