"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.

Been a long time since I last RPed in a relatively structured group or setting. Hell, it's been a while since I last RPed alongside anyone else on the regular. Looking for something consistent, without feeling like I'm being 'penciled in' to RP. What I mean by that is... I'd like a community or a group to join, but I don't want it to be a situation where everyone's so busy or so set to certain times that I'd have to schedule things. Shigi is generally an ex-tribesgirl/woman who decided she wasn't into the Qestir ways, and spent a great deal of time on her own hunting and doing mercenary work, anything that required minimal communication. She still has trouble forming sentences properly, but is often at least understandable. The more flustered or excited she gets, the worse her speech tends to get, sometimes even dipping into caveman levels of speech, foregoing anything but a simple subject-action structure to her speech. Concepts are difficult for her to put forth in speech, and she cannot read or write at all, the physical manifestations of words even more confusing to her than the audible transmission of ideas. Past her language barrier, she's a very friendly woman, though she is the very definition of a wallflower. She almost never engages with other people unless they approach her, opting to watch from afar and learn what she can about others through observation. She's a very positive person, often to a fault, very frequently putting those who seem to be having more difficulty than herself in front of her own needs. That said, she is a surprisingly shrewd businesswoman, having made a good enough living on selling the results of her hunting that she owns a small apartment in the Goblet. She's about as reptilian as an Auri can get, much preferring the warm, dry climate of the Thanalan to any other region. She has a keen sense of hearing thanks to her crabclaw-shaped horns, and keen balance thanks to her thick, strong tail. Despite this, she's a runt, even for an Auri female, a small woman that relies more on agility than sheer strength. I'm usually on infrequently, but wouldn't mind being asked to hop on sometime via Discord (Aqua#7896) for some sort of RP. I'm on Central US time, and really tend to be up at random hours, my work being more on-call based than anything else. I'm also a bit difficult to get along with, not because I'm a super antagonistic or argumentative person, but... I'm a bit too aloof for my own good. I thrive when people approach me (it's a wonder I made a character with a similar trait, huh...), though once I get to know people I'll talk to them more often. Also... Balmung, in case you missed the title. EDIT: Also... I do like to actually play the game as well as RP, so an FC that does content AND RP would be amazing~
