"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.

IC INFORMATION A house shrouded in mystery, dealing in blood and dark magics to ensure their prosperity over the centuries, the House of Sayrillont act as puppeteers to control the political and military climate of Ishgard from the shadows. With the world on the brink of ruin, this house of man and dragon both seek to extend and grab influence in each corner of the world to both use their influences to save the world from the doom coming for it as well as conquer and take advantage of vulnerable avenues of influence that have arisen from this desperate state of near extinction. A house of a powerful and immortal legacy, the Sayrillont legacy makes bonds in blood and does not take kindly to betrayal. Inducting its kindred via dark and nefarious blood rituals which bind the persons aether directly to the bloodline in exchange for ancient and primal power fueled by dragonsblood, the family are a force to be reckoned with. Boasting its capability for its bravado both on the battlefield and in parliament the family have taken down many of its rivals over the years with renowned mercilessness and suspiciously little intervention from the authorities. Having ownership of a grail of blood, an ancient artefact that has been imbued and cherished by the house for generations and is said to hold the secrets of the Sayrillont bloodline as well as the unique vampiric abilities that each of pure blood to the house possess. This grail lies on an aetherial leyline and has the ability when properly used to augment and mutate ones aether. With the house's ranks rising the Sayrillont family open these opportunities to others that swear fealty. Giving them a limited imbuement of what the grail has to offer through the mark so that they may serve the house more efficiently. The house looks for new blood to fill its ranks, those with knowledge of the dark and occult to fuel its rituals for power and conquest of knowledge, and those with influence and pull in areas outside the North to assist the house in pulling and cementing its influence in other places outside the cold North. OOC INFORMATION <GRAIL> is a lore-adhering free company focused on the day to day and Military dealings of the Ishgardian House of Sayrillont. An ancient and enigmatic force within the wintery North, House Sayrillont has thrived through manipulation and blood. Dealing into heretical ways to ensure its prosperity and continued legacy through working with dragons. The House orchestrated many ploys on both sides to ensure the true nature of the house was kept secret, its rituals ensuring power and a unique synergy with the dragons they worked alongside as bloodbearers. With peace being bought to the North the house seeks to come out from the shadows and secure its prominence in other territories, no matter the cost. As a company, we wish to give a place for people to enjoy roleplaying under a noble house that gives more than just your run of the day dealings. Primarily operating in a somewhat antagonistic nature as a free company, we hope to be able to give those that join as well as those who wish to work alongside or even against us ICly the opportunity to delve and thrive within the many dark and occult dealings the house employs to get the job done. What We Offer: RP events ranging from day to day dealings of the noble house to more dark and mature themes such as blood rituals, sacrifice and occult pacts as they delve into new areas of opportunity. A large array of event types to suit every kind of player. A great OOC community. 3 events weekly. Opportunities for multi-guild and intercommunity roleplay and plotlines. Do I have to be in the company to roleplay with us? Of course not! Despite the secretive nature of the house ICly, the company hopes to bring in many allies in the coming future to ensure mutual growth and story opportunities. Whether you wish to ally with the house, trade relics or even act as a rival and enemy to the house's dealings, get in touch! We thrive on this sort of thing and are always looking to make great and memorable plotlines with new friends. If you want to get in touch, contact Aldric Sayrillont in game or poke me at Aldric#0807 on discord.

NASTROND <ND-RP> is NOW recruiting! An EU themed 18+ Criminal/Dark roleplaying guild that follows the story of a organised crime unit that employs trade in the black markets as well as that of blood and bounty. What is Nastrond? With a name that originates in Norse mythology, Nástrǫnd (Corpse Shore) is a place in Hel where Níðhöggr lives and chews on corpses. It is the afterlife for those guilty of murder, adultery, and oath-breaking (which the Norsemen considered the worst possible crimes). The Mythos behind the title is where the origins of our free company was found. Operating within the public eye as a dive bar lead by the enigmatic Lord and Lady House Sayrillont, the venue holds as a front for an organised crime company that smuggles and secures targets as well as items to place on the black market. Though their main focus on items is those that would secure them the greatest amount of profit on the black market, the criminals found at Nastrond are not ones to avoid operations that set out for taking out targets for large sums of gil either. What rules do the Nastrond employ? The ranks of Nastrond keep confidentiality and subtlety first and foremost when it comes to their operations, only showing themselves when they need to be seen. They try to keep away from harming innocents yet are also aware that sometimes sacrifices need to be made for victory and can be ruthless and cold when they need to be also. Any act of betrayal within the ranks will be met with swift punishment, the cover and the main operations of the company serving among the tavern and the markets need to be done with the utmost confidentiality. How does Nastrond run its events? We like to stick to 3 events a week, which can include one shot jobs, the longer stories that can interconnect between major guild milestones and thrilling character development opportunities, and even a content night where we can push players through older content or map runs. We have something for everyone! And are always open for feedback. PLEASE be aware that Nastrond is a criminal themed organisation also, so do not expect every event to be a victory, and consequences have a fine habit of coming back on the organisation now and again... (Nastrond is a criminal organisation, so please accept that our IC actions in the world will come back in the form of IC consequences as far as character interactions and interactions go at times) Im in! How can I join? Feel free to message myself on discord or in game on Aldric Sayrillont if you have any questions or inquiries, we have advertisements on discord, RPC, tumblr and in game on party finder and shout chats. As well as accepting applications to our guild, there are lots of ways of entry to exploit, even simply finding us in the world and interacting works! We also accept external members in the cross world link shell to work alongside the companies activities. We hope to see you around as friend or foe! If you want to join, work with us or simply act as a rival to one of our plotlines due to the companies criminal nature, please let us know! Contact Aldric Sayrillont in game (Aldric#7268 on discord.) or Mairon Bauglir in game (Feynren#6959) for more information.

Our website. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ To the supernatural eyes that read this, the enchanted script slowly appears to take form before supernatural eyes, reading as follows: The Elysium is a sanctuary, a place of neutral ground. The Silver Coven's goal is to educate and mitigate prejudices towards Supernatural Beings. All kindred/kine or visitors are expected to respect this “neutral ground”. If you wish to find us, our address is within Gridania's Lavender Beds, Ward 13, Plot 3. Matieu Toreador Elder ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Theme & Hierarchy: The Silver Coven provides sanctuary, education, and housing to those who seek it. A lot of the arts that may be taught are "forbidden" in Final Fantasy lore. Though we are grateful to Final Fantasy’s lore, we also yearn for the freedom to indulge ourselves with creatures that may not exist in Final Fantasy or have attributes we more fully desire to be included. We have loosely based the theme of the Free Company from Vampire the Masquerade - World of Darkness: VtM Because of this, our dice system for our Character Progression Roleplay System reflect VtM. The use of this system isn’t mandatory. Members may opt in or decide to pass on this option. The list of creatures that are welcome within our walls are derived "mostly" from Final Fantasy, as we use it as our main guide to help bridge the gap. Also, we will provide a detailed explanation of "The Vampire in FF" and the tie in to the VtM aspects. The Silver Coven provides sanctuary, education, and housing to those who seek it. A lot of the arts that may be taught are "forbidden" in Final Fantasy lore. We are a Medium to Heavy RP FC. The "depth" of the roleplay is left up to the membership. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ What We Are Looking For ★We seek active roleplayers to join our Free Company. ★We are looking for players that want to attend and participate in scheduled and/or random roleplay gatherings. ★As discord is an integral part of our system, we look for members that will be attentive to the discord announcements and able to join voice chat for meetings / directions. ★We seek characters that will toe the line of the theme of the FC while keeping their unique personalities, characters that will abide by the rules of the Coven, not break them. Any characters seeking to harm the Coven or its Coven members are strongly advised to seek another FC. ★Most importantly.

Our large campaigns will start in the early fall. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some of our rules All Free Company Members must be 21 years of age or older . If the player is not a U.S. citizen, they must be a legal adult in their country. No exceptions. Why? The Free Company may have dark themes, drug use, illicit stories that may or may not inappropriate for persons of a younger age. We use IC game references to the drugs or something closely resembling it and not any real world drug references. We do not condone such behavior in real life and only partake of such things in a fictional game world. No futa-like characters are allowed nor characters that fetishize any LGBTQIA+ persons. This rule is not up for debate. Our Free Company does not charge in game gil for any service. As long as members have our tag, it is the policy to never charge real gil for any service. RP Gil only. As some roleplayers do not do a lot of pve/pvp/crafting to gain gil, not "charging" for gil helps them out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for checking out our advertisement. We hope to see you soon.

I am a returning player with a fresh character and I'm looking to plot some thingssssss with him. I prefer one-on-one/two-on-one/smaller group RP over large groups with long-running plots. I am a paragraph RPer but I'll adapt the best I can to people. I can do in-game and in discord and on tumblr. My Tumblr My discord is: X'rei#2526 X'rei's Wiki ■ I will play Your rival, your villain, your friend, your foe. I will RP very dark plots and psychological trauma, etc. I am go with the flow on most things to an extent. You may injure my character, but please ask me first where and how. I will do a roll system, but I prefer free form combat that has been plotted by both parties. Manipulation, mind games, torure, whatever...I really don't care so long as there's a purpose to all of it. ■ I won't play I will not ERP with you for the sake of ERP. I just don't do that. I will not allow you to kill my character. I will not be involved in RP that straight up breaks lore. I will not tolerate OOC and IC mixing whatsoever. I will not allow you to permanently maim my character without asking me about it first. I will not tolerate metagaming (accidents happen but I will know if it's something you read on this character's wiki. A bit about the boy Name - X'rei “Rei Sekiro” Tia Race - Miqo'te Age - 21 Name Day - 19th Sun of the 6th Astral Moon ■ Orientation: Bisexual ■ Citizenship: Hingashi/Kugane ■ Occupation: Shady Businessman (?) ■ Marks or tattoos: Family’s sigil tattoo’d on the side of his face ■ Alignment: Torn between lawful evil and chaotic neutral APPEARANCE Rei is definitely not the tallest of Miqo’te, which is good because he generally the same height as those around him in Hingashi. Standing at a towering five feet four inches tall, the most imposing part of this young man is his aura, rather than his stature. His sharp red-brown eyes never seem to hold the same light as the beaming smile on his face. His hair is kept long and, while naturally a light brown color, is dyed black with some of the brown peaking through—a sign that that dye may not be the best in quality. While long, his hair is choppy, but clean enough that it appears to be more of a stylistic choice, rather than simply a mess. His ears are pierced and he has a piercing hidden on his tongue. Lastly, on the side of his face, is a tattoo marking him a member of his adopted family’s gang. His limbs are rather lanky, and he would not seem the most suspect for skill with combat, though looks could potentially be deceiving. He has a good eye for shooting and enough strength to hold his own in a knife fight. His clothes are rather loose unless skulking around. He at least tries to look presentable in public, but may opt for less clothing when in his own home. Under that cloth is an array of more tattoos and scars. He usually has an array of daggers hidden on his person in various places in his clothing as well as a small gun. He also carries a flask of water or juice and a blank book with a stick of charcoal. PERSONALITY Where to begin with Rei’s personality… He is a bit of a twisted boy, but his past really doesn’t have too much of an impact, surprisingly. He was too young to really remember his original family to care about being separated from his tribe. He was, however, old enough to remember his time in captivity up to the family who saved him. His years as a slave felt like an eternity, from the age of three all the way until the age of twelve, Rei’s mind was warped to focus on nothing but revenge for the evil do-ers in the world. But in life filled so far with violence, while wanting to do the right thing, his mind only would know underhanded methods. On the other hand, he was saved and adopted into a wealthy albeit shady family in Hingashi to whom he feels indebted to. Needless to say, Rei is always at odds with himself—punishing the bad while also serving the bad that is his family. This imbalance in his life has left him twisted, to say the least. He’s surprisingly very personable. A good listener, intelligent, articulate, fluent in some tribal tongues, old Doman scripts and of course the common language…but he is always plotting something. There lacks the usual light in his eyes of someone engaged and happy while always going on as such. Of course, dig a bit further, and it’s obvious he just wants to do the right thing, but between his morals, his family, and his twisted sense of justice, that isn’t easy. The key with Rei though is to not take everything at his word. He is a master liar and spinner of tales and enjoys leading people in circles to get what he wants. But he is ultimately a good person, he is just not good at showing it or doing the right thing.

I'm looking for new connections for Arin, both good and bad. Plot based RP is my main focus with the potential of DM'd events, adventure, and suspense! I am very much open to all forms of RP (dark, combat, etc). To briefly summarize Arin: Most of her years were spent at the Ossuary in Ul'dah after becoming a run-away where she learned the arts of Thaumaturgy aligned as Lawful Good. Eventually she got into research, mostly independent, and none of her works have ever been published. She has fought for her life, lost her memories, regained them, and even went as far as to break the law for the greater good. In current day Ul’dah, the now Chaotic-Good (perhaps steadily becoming Chaotic Neutral) aligned Arin will almost always be seen lurking Pearl Lane in search of information. It could be for a third party business partner that has employed her or it could be for her own benefit. Which one? Who knows. What I'm looking for: Friends: Arin is very friendly until forced to be otherwise. So long as you’re good to her, the people she cares about, and don’t actively attempt harm on the innocent, you’re likely to be good in her book! Arin tends to be drawn in most by characters of aggressive, the so called ‘tsundere’, or rough character backgrounds/personalities as a result of her ever-observant behavior. She thoroughly enjoys doing things to see what types of reactions she gets before recording the data in a journal. Sometimes she might even attempt to make the person break. Antagonists: Arin has a deep-seeded hatred for all things Garlean. At present time, there is no other person or persons who hold her disdain. Depending on what one might do to her or against those she cares for, however, that could change. Arin is also more than capable of being an antagonist as well! Despite her do-good personality, my little Keeper can also be very cruel. The lengths she has gone to in the past for revenge have been startling. Allies: As an aether analyst and information broker, there is more than enough potential for job inquiries. Arin is willing to accept jobs if presented. She might even have job requests of her own with her current task in mind! Other: If there's another role you'd like to play just let me know! After all, what's life without a myriad of different personalities? Other information: https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Arin_Tayuun If you have any questions/comments/concerns, feel free to reach out to me either here or in game!

Hey everyone! So, I've on and off been returning to FF14--I have 8 characters on Balmung, most of whom have RP established, etc. But I've found very little time to actually play the game for the extended periods of time that I used to (I can't afford 10+ hours a night to RP anymore >.<). While I am mainly a Balmung player, I was actually looking to see if there's anyone who was interested in primarily tumblr/discord RP... https://charcenoir.tumblr.com/Rules These are my general rules for RP and myself and what I'm okay with. I tend to RP more gritty/dark themes...so keep that in mind, if possible ^^ I have two mains but am looking to expand on some alts/new character ideas, including 1 Garlean (villain) and 1 character located in Hingashi/Kugane. I have a few anti-heroes I'd like to try out too! I am kinda busy with work and some other stuff so most of the RP I would do would be out of the game and maybe monday/tuesdays when I am free. I know this is a strange request, way of coming back to FF14 RP but this is the best I could think of for what I want to do.
