Amesoeurs

[/align]

 

Purpose:  Amesoeurs is a linkshell intended for tasteful, mature roleplay.  It is a linkshell for those who value wit, charm, and morally ambiguous perspectives.  It is a community open to those who sometimes shy away from grandiose conflicts and existential causes.  It is a place that favors adventure, the glimmer of gil, and frivolity.  But most of all, Amesoeurs is intended to help bring skilled role-players together and promote diverse forms of RP.  

 

Style:  We flavor most roleplay with mature and clever themes.  We welcome IC content in droves and clearly-designated OOC banter.  Ultimately, we desire to promote a friendly, welcoming community of novel characters, rogues, merchants, outcasts, and others who walk interesting paths.  We value entertaining and amusing role-play and commentary: OOC drama and nazi-like behaviors are expressly forbidden.  

 

Recruitment:  Amesoeurs is currently seeking members.  We would be pleased to extend invitations to interested role-players after a brief OOC discussion and/or RP session.  If interested, please post below, or send me or Capheira a PM. Alternatively, please contact Odette Saoirse or Sigurd Sundsteigen in-game for an invite.

The Vision:  Sig had been relaxing at his usual haunt - the chair with the rickety leg, which happened to be sunk in the middle of the Quicksand.  He wasn't quite sure when the idea hit: it might have been sometime after the fifth glass of wine, or the third bowl of moko grass.  Yet, those icy blue eyes gleamed when that novel idea came to him - a most amusing social venture.  "Amesoeurs," he muttered to himself, causing the wine-soaked wood pipe resting between his lips to bounce slightly.  Moments later, Sig took another sip of wine and commented, "a fitting name."

 

Sig lowered the strange mechanical contraption that had lit the moko grass tucked in his pipe seconds before, quenching the small flame.  He tucked the device back in his coat, reclining back in the chair and muttering, "...Yes, that'll do nicely."  Sig had been searching for affable colleagues for some time now; like souls, who walked walked between the lines. Those with wit, charm, and insatiable appetites.  "Amesoeurs."  With the name settled, it was only a matter of finding those who understood and could keep their footing.

 

Ground Rules:   We impose only a few rules because we trust members will treat others with respect and behave like adults: (1) be courteous and respectful to fellow members; (2) designate OOC comments and minimize OOC banter if the channel is being used for RP; and (3) please be at least 18+ -- we enjoy using "colorful language" over the linkshell.

"Living alone, far away from everything,

Standing on the roofs of the world,

When night holds the town,

Together we will run,

Like fools in the dark alleys."

 

- Neige.

Late July 2015 Update:

 

 

OOC:  Amesoeurs is growing! We are trying to increase cross-linkshell IC chatter and expand the social net further.  Hopefully, we can continue helping connect skilled RP'ers who enjoy RPing complex, interesting, and morally ambiguous characters!  I intend to update the OP with the names of others who can extend in-game invites sometime soon.

[Sig]

August 2015 (AT WORK) Update:

 

 

OOC:  Rawr!  Amesoeurs continues to grow.  We're around 50 strong now and seeking to make that social net grow further.  We're looking around for potential meet-up locations and may also consider planning some events in the forthcoming weeks!

 

Stay tuned!

September 2015 update:

 

OOC:  Amesoeurs has really taken off with the help of an amazing cast of great RP'ers!  We're getting some fairly regular witty, dramatic, funny, and zany IC banter!  I'll be on vacation from Oct. 2 through Oct 11, 2015.  During this time, please feel free to bug Nero Varus, Skylar Brooks, or Khana Borlaaq for an invite in-game!  We're about 65 strong and always looking for more skilled RP'ers to join the fun!

October 2015 Update:

 

What a lovely month!  Our LS remains a great RP resource!  It is full of friendly and talented RP'ers who enjoy tasteful, amazing roleplay of all sorts of variety.  Clever OOC banter has become more common in the LS too!  

 

If interested, please message me, or send Sigurd Sundsteigen or Khaana Borlaaq a tell in-game!  We're happy to extend invites to RP'ers and are open to fairly flexible IC invitations (i.e. - find pearl in Ul'Dah, etc).

Hello folks, :tonberry:

 

As I am prospecting a bit for LS, connections, and probably a FC too, as a newcomer, this LC really caught my eye (and not just for the nice Amano illustration).

 

While I still have maybe to write a wiki for my character and continue developing her, the rough outline is laid in my mind, and I would like to get in touch. Maybe it could also help me define her further eventually. Surely.

 

You sure strike me as the kind of group that could work for me...

Thanks for the post showing interest!  Feel free to send me or Khana Borlaaq a tell in-game, or send me a private message.  I'd be happy to discuss any character development questions or general RP stuff with you!

[xypher]

Oooh, are you guys still looking for members? I have a char who is in desperate need of RP links (and is grossly underdeveloped thanks to lack of finding a good one) and you guys seem like the perfect fit for him!

 

If you're not open that's fine, but I'm kinda psyched about this so here's to hoping! :moogle:

Absolutely!  We still have plenty of space for more great RP'ers.  The LS offers both IC and OOC connections for RP.  We'd be happy to have you aboard.  Please send me or Khana Borlaaq a tell in-game for an invite.

November 24, 2015 Pre-Thanksgiving Update: 

 

We've grown to a healthy 90 members from a variety of FC's!  We enjoy the company of some of the most entertaining and witty RP'ers on the server, and are always happy to invite anyone interested.  I'm out of town on vacation from Nov. 25-29, 2015.  Feel free to send me RPC messages with any questions during this time!

[Tamm'lin]

Hi there! I'm an Rper that skip-hopped over from ESO. I actually lead a guild there still, that is centered around the themes in your link shell. As such, I'd love to join!

At work, December 21, 2015 OOC update:

 

I've always wanted this LS to serve as the functional OOC and IC equivalent of the bar "Cheers" from the iconic self-titled 80's sitcom.  I've tried very hard to promote that sort of environment.  Some of us banter in OOC about silly or improper topics that make others' heads hurt.  Some of us bombard the channel with random IC chatter.  Some of us incorporate ongoing plots or heavy RP into the channel.  At the end of the day, I think we have a warm, welcoming environment, and we're always happy to extend that environment to others.  

 

Need some friends?  Come on board.  

 

Need some more RP partners?  C'mere. 

 

Need somewhere to crack the occasional joke about mpreg futas at the Quicksand?  I have a beer with your name on it. 

 

Need somewhere to develop your character or reach out to new characters?  I have another beer with your name on it.

 

Need a vessel for your seedy, morally questionable plot? Everyone will know your name.

 

Just need a hug and somewhere warm to stay?  C'mere, again. 

 

FC or friend drama got you down?  I have more beer than I know what to do with. 

 

Need me to mediate your dispute or lend an ear?  I'll never bill you for my time. 

 

But most of all, have a great holiday season!

January 5, 2016 update (change in primary contacts):

 

Due to the press of real life obligations and business, my in-game play time will be severely limited for the foreseeable future.  However, Amesoeurs remains active and welcomes a wide variety of RP'ers.  

 

Odette Saoirse (Capheira) has been kind enough to agree to help co-lead the LS with me to keep things floating.  If you need an invite, please contact Odette Saoirse or me in-game.  Khana Borlaaq, Septimus Nerva, and Skylar Brooks can also invite folks.  

 

Hope everyone is having a great new year so far!

February 5, 2016 update. (The Signet remains downstream $$$)

 

[align=center][/align]

 

[align=justify]Odette didn't visit the Quicksand often, but when she did it was with a big fat cigar wedged between her pearly teeth. She'd never been one to shy away from the hustle and bustle of a crowd, despite general views on the human(oid) condition. Her smoke, which smelled suspiciously of moko grass, had already withered down to half-length and been tapped away into the ashtray that sat nearest her elbow and the third glass of whiskey in lightly-scarred hand.

 

With thickly heeled boots resting upon the table's edge, wooden chair kicked back onto it's hind legs, the shapely siren watched the comings and goings of the patrons from beneath the wide brim of her hat with the occasional wink directed at some attractive passer-by. Full lips intermittently parted from cheesy grin to billow a portion of ashen smoke toward the high ceiling of the adventurer's guild or chat idly into a linkpearl that nestled into the bronze curve of her ear. It had been strangely devoid of cussing as of late, and somehow she had grown to miss that.

 

It was time to spice things up a bit.

 

Securing the hand-rolled cigar between her lips with a few sharp pulls, bronzed digits drifted downward to the pouch that rested just below the risen hem of her short-cut breeches and rifled through it's contents for several moments. Finally, when she found what it was she sought, the highlander lifted it to candlelight for idle inspection; a gleam upon the pearl's surface matching the wry tug of her pearly grin. There was but a moment that passed between that glance and the inebriated bend that lowered her hand toward the floor, and but a single moment after that before aforementioned pearl was sent rolling across the tavern's stained carpet and into fate's grasp.[/align]

[[OOC: Hello everyone! Amesoeurs is still alive and going strong. We've still got space for more of our ilk; those for value wit, charm, and morally ambiguous perspectives in a mature setting! Our desire is to promote a friendly, welcoming community of novel characters, rogues, merchants, outcasts, and others who walk interesting paths. If you're interested, give the OP a quick read and contact one of the aforementioned characters in-game to set something up. IC is preferable over OOC, but we'll find some way of getting one to you regardless.]]

Hmm, interesting!  I just happened across this, and would certainly like to get in touch with one of you folks.  When is a good time to see some of you online?Alternately, please feel free to message Aori Daitu.

Hey there Yandros, thank you for your interest! I'll keep an eye out for you tomorrow and send a tell your way to sort something out. Please look forward to it!™ ♥

[Cool Man]

JOKES ON YOU, ODETTE. I ALREADY INVITED HER.

WHILST YOU DISTRACTED ME WITH THIS....

I SEE HOW IT IS.

 

*Points to eyes and points at Sept.*

 

(Also, thank you! ♥)

[Yandros]

Blast....I already accepted the invitation!  There goes the idea of playing you off of each other...  8-)

[Amondrask]

I'd like an invite as well, if possible! I've tried finding Odette online to ask in-game, but I am beginning to think that she is a myth created to taunt me. (Or, y'know. Some extreme timezone differences, whiever.) If you see Suvaraih Arcaelis floating around, that's me!
