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!

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?
