Three Ravens Mercantile Located at: The Raven’s Rest The Mist Ward 20, Plot 60 (Southwest Subdivision) Three Ravens Mercantile is an Ishgardian-owned trading company which specializes in the manufacture and trade of high quality, hand-crafted goods to customers all across the land. Originally founded in the wake of the Calamity, the company employs individuals from a variety of highly skilled disciplines and crafts. Our customers and clients run the range from individuals seeking one-off works of art to companies and workshops wishing to buy products in bulk. We are, for a limited time, opening our doors to new recruits. Whether you be an experienced artisan seeking steady employment, or a prospective apprentice who wishes to learn a trade, any and all are welcome to apply. We have a host of positions available, from skilled artisans and material suppliers to security and housekeeping. For more information, please drop by our company headquarters (currently located outside of Limsa Lominsa) where you are welcome to submit an application of interest. *** OOC Information Please feel free to take a look at our carrd for further information. We are a small trading company themed FC located on Zalera. Though we are currently open for recruitment, we are not looking to grow too large or too fast. Therefore, we are primarily looking for members who enjoy a smaller, more casual FC environment where characters can get to know each other well. As a trading company we are looking for crafters, gatherers and more business-like characters, but we are open to anyone provided we can find an IC position for your character within the company (which, really, shouldn’t be too hard). Senior positions (IC only) are available with discussion. Our carrd has a list of potential roles available for non-crafting characters, and we are open to any and all ideas. Patrons and customers are also welcome. Our main requirements are that you be happy within a smaller community and have a character with a lore-appropriate background and name (or a reason as to why their name is unusual, if that is the case). We are a fairly lore compliant group, and while we are fine with people getting bendy with the game’s lore, we would prefer not to engage in anything that is straight up lore breaking. We are a medium-casual RP group, where RP is encouraged but not mandatory. People are welcome to attend events with each other, set up spontaneous RP if they feel like it, and in the future we will set up our own FC events and RP nights. Outside of RP we like to do casual group content such as roulettes, mount farms etc, and are looking to set up map runs and deep dungeon forays in the near future. While we are located on a lower population server (Zalera) we do have a small discord community and are considering setting up a CWLS for communication across the data center. If you think you might be interested but are currently on another server we’d still be happy to hear from you. For further information, please feel free to get in touch with Lothaire Valenfort in game, or via discord (Valtiere#9845), visit our FC house and/or apply in-game via our FC.

I am currently looking for RP connections for my character. I play in the EST timezone, mostly in the evenings, though I would be happy to do Discord RP if clashing time zones are an issue. In general I am looking for: Short or long term RP opportunities (long term is preferable) Discord RP (available anytime) In-game RP (available 2pm to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays, and 10pm to Midnight through the week) Plot heavy RP Casual/slice-of-life RP Past acquaintances and/or family connections Rivals/enemies/antagonistic RP Follow the links below for character carrds, but here are some brief summaries: Lothaire Valenfort (Currently on hiatus) A nobleman and former knight who hails from a minor house in Ishgard, Lothaire is a merchant and craftsman who owns and operates a trading company on behalf of his family. He is a talented goldsmith himself and will occasionally take on private commissions. While he is generally a competent businessman, he does have a weakness for drink and gambling. As a result, he can often be found in taverns, bars and gambling dens—basically anywhere he has a chance to find a decent game. Connections I would love to find: Close friends, particularly other Ishgardians Anti-reformationist types (he’s not exactly open about it but is having some trouble adjusting to the ‘dragons are our friends now’ thing) Drinking partners and gambling buddies (would love to get a little private gambling circle going) Chocobo breeders and/or racers Priestly/religious types (Lothaire is very much not, but I’d love to find someone who could try and improve that) Clients seeking private crafting commissions Fellow crafter, gatherer and merchant contacts Any retainers or unemployed knights looking for employment A red mage and/or fencing instructor Kalyan Damyros A viera treasure hunter and dealer in relics. Most recently from Radz’at’Han, Kalyan is an adventurer who makes his living in the trade of relics, antiquities and curiosities gleaned from various ruins and far-away places. A private collector of the ancient and the arcane himself, he is currently looking for help in retrieving several items which were stolen from his residence during the chaos of recent events (no spoilers here for those who haven’t finished Endwalker, but more info which could be spoilery can be found on his carrd). Connections I would love to find: Potential friends, rivals or love interests An assistant to help him with his work and study Adventurers or other individuals willing to help track down stolen/missing goods (some of which may be dangerous relics) Adventurers and/or treasure hunters interested in joint expeditions, exploration or research ventures Other private collectors of the ancient and the arcane Clients interested in hiring him for expedition/retrieval missions Black market/criminal connections (information brokers, fences, smugglers etc) interested in dealing with more dangerous or questionable items Researchers, historians and scholars of magic *** If anyone happens to be interested in interacting with either character, I’d love to RP with you. I’m also open to a wide variety of RP scenarios and encounters. I can be contacted in-game on Zalera via either character, though I’m more likely to be logged in with Kalyan. I can also be reached via Discord (Valtiere #9845) or here on the forums A little about me: I tend to write single (in-game) or multiple (Discord) paragraphs in RP but I will usually try to match whoever I’m rping with in terms of post length. I don’t enjoy /say only or single line style RPs. I play on Zalera but am happy to visit other servers to join people. I like to be able to talk to people oocly about RP. We don’t need to be best buddies, but I appreciate being able to actually communicate plans with people I RP with. Preferences: Character Injury: Yes, but with discussion Character Death: Never under any circumstance Mature Subjects: With discussion Romance: Yes, but for Kalyan only ERP: No. Strictly fade-to-black only. Family Connections: Yes, with discussion Past Acquaintances: Yes, with discussion

Helaine Buinocette Former heretic and rather unrepentant about it. Helaine was an official Knight Dragoon of Ishgard, but defected three years before the songs end. Some time after the song ended, she finally applied for clemency. But due to holding off, she has been sentenced to ten years of military service in the 103rd Coerthan Ravens, a chapter of Temple Knights, and now serves in their ranks as a Convictor Dragoon. Currently unable to leave Ishgard and Coerthas unless escorted by a Knight. Hooks: Helaine was apart of the Knights Dragoon of Ishgard, perhaps your character served with her. Helaine fought with the Dravanian heretics for three years before the song, perhaps you either battled against her or with her? She is seen often around Coerthas, simply walking. She spends a healthy amount of time in the Forgotten Knight drinking, specifically, Ishgardian Red Wine. RP of Interest: Friends or new connections. Possibly romance, but it would be a very slow burn considering her past. Rivals or antagonists. Preferred long term. Story or one shots. Helaine is on Zalera, for reference. Carrd: https://helainebuinocette.uwu.ai/# Narengal Kagon An exiled Kagon without a home. She comes from a lineage of shamans that oversaw her tribe in a matriarchal line. She is capable of communing with ashkin revenants and assists in their passing on to the aetherial sea, whether violently or otherwise. Narengal's moral compass is slightly skewed due to certain childhood circumstances. She is incredibly loyal, very much so to a fault. She spends much of her time around the Shroud and the island of Vylbrand. Hooks Narengal was raised in the Nhaama, the desert west of the Steppe. Perhaps you're also from there or saw her on frequent trips to Reunion. Narengal trained in conjury for a short time after coming to Eorzea, but left the guild for personal reasons. Narengal is often seen wearing full robes covering her person during the day made of all black fabrics, regardless of temperature. RP of Interest: Friends or new connections. Possibly romance, but be warned this character is polyamorous and already has a primary partner. Rivals or antagonists. Preferred long term. Story or one shots. Narengal is on Mateus, for reference. Carrd: https://narengalkagon.carrd.co Me! I'm up for both IG RP and Discord RP. I'm in CST timezone for North America, and I'm active both in the mornings and evenings. Weekends are free game due to being off work! I'm alright with various forms of RP, ranging from wholesome to dark. My only limitation is ERP. It's usually exclusively fade to black unless agreed upon otherwise OOCly. Feel free to message me either on here or on my discord: Sanghela#5818

Hi everyone~ First let me start off with a thank you for taking the time to skim this over. I'm a pretty shy person, so putting myself out there like this is new territory for me. As the title implies, I'm looking for some roleplay friends. I do work 40 hours a week, so I tend to lean toward discord roleplay since I'd be able to reply while at work but weekends are usually open, so can roleplay ingame too. Name: Merlin Gender: Female (she/them) Race: Miqo'te* Age: 32 Occupation: Healer, Alchemist Looking for: • Close/long term friends • Casual friends • Adventure • Slice of Life • Mischief • Traveling companions Not Looking for: • ERP - romance is off the plate entirely. • Anything that leads to death or permanent injury of characters - scars are fine though! • OOC dramatics If Merlin sounds like someone you'd like to meet, feel free to message and I can shoot you my discord name and we can go from there! I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Hello! I'm looking for a partner or three to RP with for a while and develop my character alongside, I'm a sucker for romance so that definitely applies here(no erp though, sorry! Wholesome only!). Fair warning though I haven't done RP in quite a while and definitely need to brush up on my game lore. If I ever do something incorrectly please correct me! My character is a mysterious yet eccentric Miqo'te who speaks in a strange way, but seems to be constantly searching for something~ If you're interested in that baseline feel free to message me here. Primarily looking for a long-term RP with character development and all that standard stuff~ I don't have a set schedule but I am open to sudden gatherings and the like for RP, unless I'm doing something else of course. I would primarily like to RP in game if possible, but can accommodate Discord RP. My character Hikari speaks in an odd manner, constantly referencing her surroundings and asking ambiguous/obscure questions. It may take some getting used too! I don't have an ultimate end-goal for my character, how she develops and changes will entirely be based around the stories she's involved in, she will change as everyone else changes! Lastly I can be pretty absent-minded at times and misinterpret what people are saying, so do correct me if I ever make that mistake. Please message me if you're interested!

Heyo! Lori here, I'm 22/F and I've been playing ffxiv for a while now! I'm caught up on all the expansions, but I'll be mindful of spoilers if you aren't. Anyways---(sorry for the awkward intro)----I was looking for people to RP with. My main server is Zalera but I also have some leveled-up alts on Mateus as well. I'll try to keep my post fairly concise because I know giant walls of text aren't exactly the most fun to read ;v;; so I'll introduce my characters and give a little blurb about them. From left to right: Paveloix Valtin (Zalera) Aquilard Jeulerand (Mateus) Theron Jeulerand (Zalera) Theodric Greystone (Mateus) Paveloix Valtin (Zalera) Ishgardian Age 27 Cargo Pilot, former engineer Insanely talkative, very outgoing and friendly. Will talk your ear off about anything, but he gets excited around siege engines and airships. Gets flustered if you ask about his personal life, though. Has a bit of an impulsive streak and likes to gamble. He's currently my main and the one I'm on the most --- I would love for him to make more friends! I love love love some casual bantering and stuff! Maybe some slice of life/adventure/drama! Aquilard Jeulerand (Mateus) Gridanian (Duskwight) Age 41 Ex-redbelly bandit, trying to get his life on track On the forefront, he seems like your typical rough-around-the-edges cowboy, but he's a huge softy with a love of music. Prone to wanderlust and has a hard time staying in one place. Drinks way too much for his own good and loves a casual fistfight. Theron Jeulerand (Zalera) Gridanian (Duskwight) Age 20 Junior detective (but insanely awful at it), aspiring actor He's a huge romantic at heart with a passion for theater ---- but he tries to present himself as cold, calculating, and serious. He's got a bit of a short temper and a sharp tongue, but easily softens up. Usually off somewhere, practicing dramatic monologues. Theodric Greystone (Mateus) Ishgardian Age 16 Aspiring knight, currently a squire (sort of) actually I have a carrd for him, haha : https://squire.carrd.co/ If any knights are out there looking for a loyal and dutiful squire (who...highkey sucks at fighting) he's the boy for you! So yeah---here's my current lineup of OCs! A little about myself is that I'm sort of nocturnal---3pm CSTto 5am CST----and I usually log onto ffxiv around 9pm/10pm CST. Given the whole lockdown/quarantine thing, however, I can log on earlier if you ask me! You can usually catch me on Paveloix Valtin@Zalera or Theron Jeulerand@Zalera. I am very much open to in-game RP but I am also a little more partial to discord RP since I do tend to write out full paragraphs. All servers on Crystal DC are welcome, btw! Over discord, I'm pretty much active all day. Anyways, hit me up in game or on discord! ( huge jackedman#5654) Hope to hear from y'all!

In short, Giselle is a captain in the Immortal Flames, knight of the kingdom of Alasta, and private investigator; she's a fan of alchemy, woodworking, and general crafting, often found in one of the many guilds in Ul'dah or Limsa Lominsa. She's looking for friends, Grand Company acquaintances, and former connections to her life in Ishgard--that's something I'm interested in in particular, considering her family history in Ishgard and the circumstances surrounding her leaving. I'm particularly interested in growing her private investigation firm, hiring more consultants and starting to take jobs for anyone who may have a crime to report! Feel free to message me, on Discord or in-game, if you're interested in setting up any connections--not here, however, as I don't often come and check the forums

Hey guys! Brand new RPer and even brand new to all MMO on Zalera. I have a lovely FC of friends, but I wanted to directly say hi to the RP forums! As someone who's very very new the the Final Fantasy AND MMO scene but have done a few laps around the forum rp block, I wanted to do a check in and see if I'm starting off on steady ground. I have a character set up I want to run by people native to the RP server, as well as FF14/MMO specific rp tips and tricks? A few of the threads based on questions I really wanted to know (In character Fantasia usage, Playing the Warrior of Light, ect) don't seem to exist anymore, so I wanted to make my own topic and ask specific questions about my tentative character set up. --Character Concept below, feel free to ignore if you're not interested in checking the concept and more interested in giving FF14 rp specific tips?-- My character Aelaeis is saddled with the dead horse trope of Amnesia, but I wanted to expand on that meaningfully. I wanted him to start off in his BG as an Ishgardian Darkwight Astrologian. From what I can understand in lore that's not a fun combination to be, and he'd eventually saved up enough to earn a Fantasia to try to switch over to being a less noticeable Wildwood Elezen. But due to a mishap with unstable location/magic/things I haven't specified yet for fear of discovering MSQ spoilers using the Fantasia backfires, and while he does flip over he also causes his mind and body massive magical trauma, landing him with a bad case of retrograde amnesia targeting not only episodic (personal) memories but also semantic (world knowledge) and procedural (skill) memories, leaving him without the memory of even how to read or walk. On top of that, the trauma to the brain has also effected its connection to the rest of his body resulting in episodes of loss of motor control, processing, focusing and a variety of uncontrollable motor tics. Pressure worsens the symptoms, causing him short bouts of anterograde amnesia (inability to create new memories/problems with short term memory translating to long term), and fully freezing up and shutting down physically and mentally. While I had him found and tentatively nursed back to some level of health by a clan of Viera (so that my friend's viera character can get involved), he was still very much unrecovered by the time the clan decided they could no longer afford to shelter him, and he will spend much of if not all of his story recovering, and full recovery may not be possible even if he improves. So his story so far has been ironically finding a home in Gridania as his new Wildwood self, attempting to act like a more confident and put together man than he is while still being fussed over by his party and terribly aware that he hasn't recovered to the point of being nearly as independent as he wants to seem while simultaneously coming into his own as he sees and learns about more and more of Eorzea, occasionally touching on some strangely familiar things as he goes. I'm only level 36 as of this writing, so I'm not quite sure where the plot will lead me as I'm working half blind and also using the characterization to give me an excuse to learn as I go, but still trying to give the set up proper respect. Does this seem like a good start? What might be good ways to work outwards or important things to know about the world that won't spoil me on plot? And how can I get more involved in the FF14 MMO rp community? Thank you for your time and patience!

Hi there, my character's name is, Angelissa Honey, I look forward to making new friends! I'll make use of the suggested template since I'm new to RP; MMORPG background: FFXIV is my first MMO but I've been playing since 2013. RP experience: None in game. Yet I have LARP exp. Character ideas/info: My character is a female Sun Miqo. She is a young adventurer, silly and immature at times. She grew up in the Ul'dahan orphanage. Honey ( she prefers to being called such) longs to make connections and build a family of sorts. Those who don't mind an air-headed "little sister type" will find her a boon companion. Honey is loyal and is more than happy to tag along on any adventure. How did you learn about the coalition? Google is a friend for a curious mind. What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Looking for Light Causal RP as this character is an alt. Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? I have a RL romantic partner who also plays the game. They are not looking to RP at the moment. Therefore in my RP experiences I am not looking for any romance or ERP. Thanks for stopping by!

The Celestial Dance Network is a Crystal datacenter-wide community that serves as a hub to help tribal/traditional-themed Seeker of the Sun & Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te role-players find role-play with other tribal/traditional-themed role-players. We offer a Crystal datacenter-wide Discord as well as three optional in-game cross-world linkshells. We are happy to accept players that are new to Miqo'te lore/role-play! We welcome Miqo'te that are: Exiled from their people. Keeper and Seeker mixed. Have tribal/traditional roots. (Ex: Raised tribal/traditional, now a city Miqo'te interested in exploring their roots.) Discord: — Join our Discord! You will land in a #lobby area. A member of staff will be with you as soon as possible to tag you appropriately and send you to the main section of the Discord. ☾.｡.:* ★ What We Offer ★ *:.｡.☽ An environment that proactively strives to maintain a casual, comfortable, immersive atmosphere to build your character's story. Monthly gatherings to make contacts with new characters as well as other events that include themes such as sparring, story-telling, festivals, tavern RP, hunts, and more. A lore-friendly community with designated sections and channels exclusively for character-building, including but not limited to sept/clan-crafting, prompts, and lore discussion. ☾.｡.:* ★ Community Rules ★ *:.｡.☽ We are aware that our ruleset and tone section presents us as a strict community with high role-play standards. That simply isn't our intent and you will find, contrary to the language here, that the staff promotes an easy-going atmosphere. It's important to us that we explain our expectations and tone in a "no-nonsense" way so you can assess if this community is a fit for you or not. The reality is that we're a bunch of shy folks flailing around trying to get along, have a few laughs, and enjoy the game together. You must respect the tone that the administrators of the community curate. Swearing, sarcasm, dry humor, dark humor, dirty jokes, ribbing one another, and spicy tom memery prevails in the culture of this community. You can also expect that adult topics will pop up in discussion or in role-play and we expect you to handle it in a mature fashion. We have taken the time to list a couple of tenets of note below. Be courteous to your fellow community members. Leave your Out of Character prejudice elsewhere. All nationalities, races, religions, sexual preferences, and gender identities, et cetera are welcome here. Violating this tenet is one of the quickest methods to getting removed. Seek out RP. Don’t wait for it to seek you. You have several outlets at your disposal. This is not an echo chamber. Constructive criticism done in the spirit of civility is welcome in the community. In that same vein, another player having a different opinion over role-play is not a personal attack and do not treat it as such. This is not a furry convention. No Out of Character cutesy purring/nyah/lap-sitting/meow behavior. This behavior is viewed as grating, best left on Second Life, and a significant amount of our player base may have joined this community to escape this behavior. Substance over style. Our screenshots/showcase channels are not meant as competition for members to "out mod" each other and see who can "make the hottest character." These are also not channels for you to post "hot screenshots" of your characters repeatedly while never participating in role-play events. We want to see your role-play over your aesthetics! Use spellcheck and use proper grammar/punctuation/capitalization to your best ability. No one is perfect and mistakes happen, sometimes plenty of them, but expect a member of staff to pull you aside if your posts are not legible. If you want to start an in-depth discussion of politics and religion we recommend you find another outlet. The staff is not interested in moderating extensive political or religious debate. In fact, we don't care to moderate heated arguments at all. Take it to private message. No non-Miqo'te species. This community is focused on Miqo'te. The nature of an open community such as ours presents the unfortunate reality that new members will join that may disregard the rules, are new to role-play, display poor role-play etiquette/quality, or they simply don't mesh with you and are not your style. We ask for your patience and understanding. Be self-aware. Do not make this community a hostile or intimidating environment for others, especially for the purpose of browbeating another member into ERP. We have noticed that the prevailing method of attempting to coerce others into ERP is not overt advances, but rather, a more subtle pattern of unwelcome misconduct or behavior that's based on sex and pervasive enough that a reasonable person could find it intimidating. Please keep the staff informed if you drastically fantasia or name change. Do not directly rip from real-world mythology/culture. Want that Greco or Norse inspired sept or clan? Cool with us! Go for it! Please do not directly rip off names of deities or major historical figures in the pursuit of this. (ex: U'bastet, H'ercules, etc. Yes. I know. Don't look at me like that.) Do not borrow heavily from or create clones of NPCs. Do not post explicit gore of people or animals being cut open, mutilated, or innards on display. This includes surgical procedures. When in doubt, spoiler it out! Confine explicit NSFW imagery to its proper place. While we cannot guarantee the text in the Discord will be clean, we ask that you confine NSFW to the Shadow Realm & Sin Bin respectively. This includes your avatar. We do not control you and your account, however, you will be removed if your avatar contains sexual/violent explicit imagery or insinuations such as "ahegao." Communicate with us. We are human and might miss something. We cannot fix a problem if you do not come to the staff and speak with us. You (the player) and your character must be over the age of eighteen. Seven hundred-year-old "ten-year-olds" are not acceptable, nor is any other form of “loli” character, no matter how old they “actually” are. All characters are on the same even playing ground in this community. Let us preface this section with a disclaimer and be crystal-clear: We are not here to lore-police you. What you do outside of the Celestial Dance Network is quite frankly none of our business. Our community, however, is an open community to all. Oldhat and newcomer members alike have not consented to playing in a setting where your character has a lore-breaking ability, ultra-rare talent, or legendary artifact. Giving your character ultra-rare abilities/artifacts/gifts/et cetera quite understandably can and will make some members of the community uncomfortable as they are no longer on an even playing field with you and your character. One of the best examples is how rare Black Magic and White Magic are and how difficult they are to accomplish In-Character. To avoid Out-of-Character conflict, many players simply make the choice to gloss it over In-Character or have their character treat characters who make these types of claims as nutcases. Respect their wishes and personal preferences. As always, if you have questions, feel free to clarify with the staff. We will do our utmost to work with you as we do actually want you here! Below are some tenets we have adopted to ensure that all characters are on even-ground: In Character Actions = In Character Consequences. We will not be accepting ancient Allagan experiments, extradimensionals, nor extraterrestrial characters at this time. You are welcome to gush over your Mystel or the "alternative universe" version of your character. No tempered or those that can temper. The echo is fine to a reasonable extent. No halfbreeds. (Au Ra/Miq'ote, Hyur/Miqo'te, etc.) Just to be clear: half-Seeker and half-Keeper (or any percentage of the two) is fine. You cannot dictate the lore of a full Seeker of a Sun tribe. Keep in mind that most in the community have crafted their own culture, backstory, and headcanons for the branch or sept of a tribe that their character is from. In order to avoid stepping on the toes of other community members, we do not allow our members to claim the lore of an entire tribe. Instead, we recommend an informal (or even formal!) nickname for their branch of the tribe based on your own creative writing. (Example: X'zirashah Bakt, the owner's character, is from the Lynx tribe. Her people are called "Dune Specters" as one of many nicknames attributed to them.) At this time we are not accepting characters that belong to Free Companies that claim the name of an entire tribe, as this does not align with the spirit of this rule. (Example: "The Lynx Tribe" or "The Bear Tribe" FC name.) Do not project your own lore onto established NPCs/groups/organizations in-game. You can very easily craft your own branch of NPCs. We are not accepting Hrothgar-model Miqo'te at this time. We do not allow characters to hold a position of exceptional ruling power in any canonical government or organization. This is including but not limited to the ruling bodies of Eorzea's City-States. This is not extended to the creation and cultivation of player-owned organizations/septs/clans. In fact, CDN encourages the creation of hierarchy within player-made clans and septs. Some examples for clarity: Claiming to be a General of a city-state army. Claiming to be a close direct-report to a high ranking NPC. Claiming to be a character that can make sweeping legislation over city-states/Eorzea/et cetera. Low to medium-high ranking member of Maelstrom/Adders/Flames, et cetera welcome! Low to medium-high Resistance movement members welcome! We are lore-bending, not lore-breaking. If you role-play any of the bullet points disallowed in this section this is not a reflection on you and your choices. These are our preferences and how we wish to maintain our community. Black Magic, White magic, and voidsent should be treated IC accordingly. We are not accepting Female Nunh/Female model Nunh. This is not a statement on gender roles, those who are transgender, or personal identity in the real world. No incest role-play. No "abusive Nunh" and/or controlling Nunh trope. In this community, Nunh are family IC. They are trusted members of the community. We are currently not accepting characters with this trope prevalent in their backstory. See below for more information. A single man cannot control a host of strong huntresses. Yes, we know about Coeurlking, no, we don't care. The "alpha Nunh" and "beta Tia" trope is not welcome. We do not know where this trope came from, but in this community, it goes in the trash. Here, Nunh, Tia, and female Miqo'te are equals who love and respect each other as family. A Tia is not 'below' a Nunh or for that matter a female Seeker. Birth control exists, women can have sex freely, there is plenty of evidence of strong adventuring Tia in-game as well as female Seeker being sexually liberated. (Ex: the women of the Drake tribe in the Forgotten Springs.) Subhuman treatment of Tia would imply that the majority female society is accepting of it. This is insulting towards huntresses who grew up with them as sons, brothers, and fathers in their precious family unit. We don't consider Fantasia/race changing something that can happen IC. If your character starts speaking about a previous life of them being another race, don't be surprised when other characters IC think they're pants-on-head nuts. No overpowered characters. Characters who can casually wipe city blocks off of the map, time travel, teleport to other worlds, or withstand a haymaker from Titan will not be a good fit for this community. Such characters tend to pressure other players into making their characters that powerful, or risk being made irrelevant in combat RP. The general rule of thumb is that if your character's strength even approaches the WoL's, much less surpasses it, then they are too powerful for community. No cult-like role-play where the Nunh controls the Seeker women sexually and/or romantically. As stated before, the thought of one man controlling multiple women in a society where the women are both seen as equals and outnumber him is simply ridiculous. This will not fly here. We do not want a pervasive theme of rape like this in our community. We welcome non-Eorzean based tribal/traditional Miqo'te save one exception. Is your character from an island? Thavnair? That's perfectly fine! The only exception is that we are not accepting Doman/Hingashi-born Miqo'te at this time. If your character has briefly lived or traded in Othard/Hingashi/Kugane that is fine. Out of respect for those who have not finished Shadowbringers as of yet, the following tenet is placed in the spoilers tag. We recommend you not read it unless you are finished with the Shadowbringers MSQ. Leave personal differences and cross-server drama at the door. Every person who applies to the community will receive a fair shake. If you have a negative personal history with someone who joins the community before or after you — you are welcome to speak to the staff — but unless you provide compelling evidence you must accept that until they act out you have the option of blocking and ignoring them. There will be no Final Fantasy server drama or bashing in this community. No one server is "better" than the other. This is not Party Grindr. Let us be abundantly clear: we do not care if our members ERP in their own private time. This particular community is not a fit for ERP-centric characters nor does it exist as a venue to find a romantic relationship for your character. If you are going to be hosting 18+ events with sexually explicit and/or incredibly gory/violent themes—you must include a disclaimer in the advertisement or call for role-play. Transgender characters and players are welcome! We have transgender characters, players, and staff in our community, and out of respect for them ... No futa, dickgirls, shemales, cuntboys, traps, or similarly labeled trans-fetish characters. We are currently not accepting characters with search information that contain f-list (or any type of fetish) links (also represented as /c or /c/). We will perform regular inactivity checks. This is nothing personal. We will occasionally remove members that no longer appear to be active and have zero presence in the community. The key is communication! Talk to a member of staff if you are going to be inactive or on hiatus. If you feel if you have been removed by mistake or wish to rejoin, all you need to do is follow the steps above to be reinvited. We have specific protocols and regulations for events we ask you to respect. Weekly gatherings are community-focused events. Please run it by a staff member when you intend to bring guests to them! Feel free to announce events that you, your linkshell, your friends, or your FC are hosting. We ask that you not use our community as an advertisement venue for other Discords, linkshells, Free Companies, or your personal Seeker sept/Keeper clan.

From, The Mother, Lerana (We are an Rp group that hopes to adventure together as family and friends.

Hi nice to meet you all! I know there is a world visit feature coming out soon which I'm hoping to take advantage of in order to drop into Mateus or Balmung, but as of right now my character exists only on Zalera (for the 'preferred server' bonus). If the world visiting ends up proving difficult I may try to use my free world transfer to get on one of them. MMORPG background: Roughly 11 years familiar with MMORPGs and relatively new to FFXIV in that I don't have a character at lvl 70 in any job/class yet. I'm not finished with the main scenario either but I'm working on getting through only story quests right now so I can be caught up with the lore history before I start to seriously roleplay with others. RP experience: I've been roleplaying and writing characters for 14 years now- on forums, instant messenger, blogging websites, and in personal situations. I'm brand new to roleplaying on an MMO though despite wanting to for a few years. Finally trying to get over my anxieties about it. Character ideas/info: Bearry is a clan-mixed Lalafell who fits into the lifestyle description of "simple farmboy". He is generally new to Aldenard experiences as a whole at this time considering he spent the majority of his life with his father on the southern islands in the Rhotano Sea. Despite actually being born in Gridania he has only lived there for the last two years, however he's made the travel to visit a few times in the past due to his mother living in the city-state. If you want to learn more details about him I suggest clicking the wiki link in my signature but keep in mind I'm still working on writing out his history summary. He is a fairly fleshed out character in history and personality already so you could say I've got ideas going forward. How did you learn about the coalition? A close friend of mine showed the wikipedia/this website to me after I started sharing character ideas with him. We're gonna do some roleplaying together as well so all these resources have been a great help and inspiration. What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Probably medium to heavy, although OOC chatter is usually welcome especially if it involves roleplay or character related things! Sentences and paragraphs are both okay as I'll tend to copy whatever style my roleplay partners use, for convenience sake. As an extra note I would prefer to be as immersed as possible when not having OOC discussions, therefore I'm not likely to do anything that goes against Bearry's wishes. Maybe I'll get to interact with the bigger roleplay community in the future when world visiting opens up, granted that everything goes well with population load and all.

I. Basic Info Characters: Tal Valtiere Primary character: Tal Valtiere Linkshells: The RP Network (Zalera) Primary RP linkshell: II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Medium-casual. Views on RP combat and injuries: Open to them within limits (no permanent damage or death without prior discussion and agreement). I’m also not a fan of hand (or wand) waving them away with magic; I like to RP out the consequences of battles and injuries over time. Views on IC romance: Only with prior discussion and if the other player can differentiate between IC and OOC. I am open to IC relationships only if they are worked toward in RP and the other player is able to keep their OOC feelings out of it. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): I love family ties and other historic connections, but please contact me OOCly first to discuss details. Views on lore: I prefer to adhere to lore as much as possible, whenever possible, but I am open to RPing with people who bend things a little now and then as long as it’s nothing drastic or over-the-top. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I tend to keep say and custom emotes IC, and stick to the rules of whatever LS or FC I am in. Most tend to keep chat channels outside of say and emotes as OOC only so I’ll generally assume that is the case unless it’s clear otherwise. /tells are almost always assumed by me to be OOC unless it’s made clear in advance that it’s not. III. Other Info Country: Canada Timezone: EST Contact info: best method is to contact me in game via Tal Valtiere. I do respond to messages here on the RPC but only if I see them, and I don’t always log in frequently. Discord will only be given out to people on request and who I have chatted with before.

I recently made my way to Zalera, and it's a nice, peaceful server that I've been really enjoying thus far! I've seen a few folks with the RP tag here and there, and was wondering were there any RPers on the server? If so, is there an LS/Discord I could join? (I don't mind starting the charge on either if neither one exists!) Thanks in advance for reading! <3

Hi! I'm Kisaragi, a relatively-new player to FFXIV. I've heard about rp and I'm interested in trying it! My main is on Siren, a Keeper of the Moon whose backstory I'm still thinking about. I'm also thinking of creating a Raen alt on Zalera. I am hopeful to one day get into the rp scene!
