"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.

I. Basic Info Characters: Shaza Soromai Primary character: Shaza Soromai Linkshells: N/A Primary RP linkshell: N/A II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): heavy Views on RP combat and injuries: Conflict and the aftermath make good story, win or lose. IC actions have IC consequences and injuries shouldn't be magically healed or handwaved away (IMO) Views on IC romance: Love a good long term character-centered romance/relationship story Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Also good. Anything based in characters, their relationships and conflict (internal or eternal) Views on lore: I use the lore as a jumping off point and generally try to be true to it but I view it as a guideline and an inspiration, not a straightjacket. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): Don't really have an opinion. FFXIV's chat is better than some games, worse than others. Generally prefer face-to-face RP in game but I'm open to other forms based on availability. III. Other Info Country: United States Timezone: US/Eastern (UTC-4/5) Contact info: in-game /w Shaza Soromai@Balmung

OoC: We are a rather small FC looking to grow! Relationships with the Crystal DC community have given us the chance to be involved with multiple other FCs and large events however our current size limits us from best serving the community.

A weekly schedule is posted in our Discord every Sunday of events within the FC and with our partners. A contract system is used to run character arcs which are overseen by a DM (dungeon master). Plans are to be more active in hosting DC events to include festivals, ceremonies, holiday events, and joint ventures with our community partners.

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.

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?
