The Fabled Few (FF-RP)

[Khaine]

[align=center]The Fabled Few: Declaration[/align]

 

[align=center]Who we are (IC):[/align]

 

[align=center]         The Fabled Few are adventurers, explorers, scholars, engineers, knights, soldiers and warriors from across Hydaelyn- as varied as the land and cultures represented, but with one binding link: the disciples of Gaia chosen few to battle threats that would disrupt the balance of both light and darkness.[/align]

 

 

[align=center]What we are about (Who we are (OOC)):[/align]

[align=center]We are a family of heavy role-players wanting more than just your average tavern-style of RP. We are looking for role-players who are interested in IC/OOC dungeon runs, RPvE, exploration, and in-depth stories.[/align]

 

 

[align=center]What we expect from you:[/align]

 

[align=center]Discord: The Discord announcement tab is used to notify The Fabled Few of on-going RP events. Though random RP is highly-encouraged, we make an effort to let all member know ahead of time when major guild arcs are planned.[/align]

 

[align=center]Be Respectful - Whether IC or OOC, respect your fellow players in all things. Always put forth a positive opinion of our Company within the Community in order to encourage both additional membership, and other RP groups who wish to work with us. Remember- the FoE designation is on all the time- whether you are IC or OOC.[/align]

[align=center]When in dungeons, be polite and helpful- don’t be an ass. If a member of the group isn’t working out, try to educate them in a positive way, not insulting. If all else fails, simply ask them to leave. This goes doubly for raids, where stress is amplified in larger groups.[/align]

[align=center]When IC, keep your story and interactions logical and fun (in an OOC way). No dragon-baby-elf people. No transplants from WoW or Star Wars. Please, no stripping to small clothes and gyrating against poles in the middle of the street- or griefing others IC/OOC in any way. Remember, at all times, you represent our IC Company persona.[/align]

 

[align=center]Be Positive - Have a positive attitude.  When bringing up a problem, present not just a problem, but its impact to the guild and potential solutions. Be specific. Minimize negative comments and posts. You should truly be enjoying yourself as a member of this guild and game. If you are not having fun or are stressed, let's chat and see how we can change/impact your personal situation.[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Selfless Service - In all things, accept give and take- sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes it’s a draw. Some of the best character development comes from failure. Let each member shine- don’t hog the spotlight. If you see another trying to RP with you- overhearing your conversation in a public place, etc… engage (if logical). Don’t ignore them. It is -hard- trying to get an ‘in’ in RP sometimes, and if they can pull their weight and add to our story, we want them.[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Focus on the IC - When something CAN be done IC, let’s do it IC. OOC is fine, but we want the Company to be much more IC focused and encourage grouping up, telling our stories and advancing our characters. If your character is central to a major plotline, we expect you to log in on that character regularly so the plotline can continue to advance. All characters are expected to stay active in-game and on the forums. Any characters left inactive for 30 days will be removed from the Free Company.  We know real life happens, we just ask that you keep us updated to stay in good standing.[/align]

[align=center]Also: When using the Company Chest, take only what you need, and if you make items others could use- share. If you have mats others could use- share. Share your crafting skills- don’t charge Company members (tips are up to you), but our focus is more of a ‘barter/give and take’ format. We want this to be a ‘family’ type Company OOC, even if we might have disagreements IC.[/align]

 

 

[align=center]What you can expect from us:[/align]

[align=center]We always work to improve how we operate. After much debate, we have a story we believe will lead to fun and interesting RP, centered on our Fabled Few. We strive to improve group RP so it can be focused on individual improvement and include the story arc.[/align]

[align=center]We are always open to suggestions and other storylines other than the ‘main’ one(s). If you want help, let us know. If there is an issue OOC you can’t solve, or a concern you have, let us know. We will do our best to resolve it for the health of the Company and happiness of our members. Don’t be afraid to seek out the Officers- ‘tis what we’re here for.[/align]

[align=center]TFF is a fun, interactive, intelligent RP experience, with OOC camaraderie. Being OOC friends/allies enhances the overall IC/RP experience. For this reason, we also have a Discord.[/align]

 

[align=center]Mission:[/align]

[align=center]The Fabled Few work to be better prepared for the unknown dangers that lie in wait. We search the realm for lost knowledge, unbeknown dangers, seek truth to myths and legends.[/align]

 

[align=center]Goals:[/align]

[align=center]We have created a bonded community where quality RP is plentiful. The Fabled Few strive to keep one story arc going at all times to keep members engaged while offering opportunities to experience in-game content.[/align]

 

 

[align=center]RP Plans:[/align]

[align=center]Fabled Few RP Dungeons: Instances in-game are restricted by time, and for this reason, first-time run-throughs tend to be OOC. If the participants choose, however, dungeons can be done ICly, with 5 minute RP sessions prior to or just after each boss fight to ensure the dungeons are still completed within the allotted time.[/align]

[align=center]Our Base: Even with the good standing of several members of the Fabled Few and the city-states, we have set up our home and base of operations in the Mists, Ward 6 Subdivision.[/align]

[align=center]Missions and Tasks: We will have mini-missions and other such duties that might give members an opportunity to RP. These do not have to be announced ahead of time, and provide a chance for random RP. Missions and tasks may include things such as going on a patrol, hunting for meat to stock the Fabled Few larder, or perhaps gathering materials that have been requested by one of the crafters. These events typically involve 2-4 people.[/align]

 

[align=center]Recruitment Policy:[/align]

[align=center]    First, a prospective member must submit an excerpt of a story or event around your character, one that would catch the attention of the Disciples, with this also tell us a bit about your character from and OOC standpoint. This will be reviewed by the officers. Keep in mind that you could opt in to host or have us host an event that would allow our members to cross paths with your character. Once an application is approved, the member will be granted the evaluation title of Chosen.[/align]

 

[align=center]Secondly, times will be scheduled where candidates can participate in RP. This is to establish the character’s personality, as well as introduce them to some current Fabled Few members. We want to focus on seeing you integrated well and not be left out to dry, so bringing you ICly into the Free Company will be an event, depending on how many members are available for this event, to both maximize immersion into the group and to expand the number of RP contacts made.[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Finally, access to the Free Company is granted and the player is granted Bearer status. This means the player and character are officially one of the Fabled Few. At this time, we will integrate the new character into the current story arc and begin considering options for helping them develop as both character and player.  [/align]

[align=center]Keep in mind that, in the event of unnecessary drama, trouble, or issues with the player’s attitude OOC, we reserve the right to revoke the membership and remove the character(s) of said player from the Company.[/align]

 

[align=center]Where to Apply:[/align]

 

[align=center]If you would like to apply submit your excerpt via a private message and OOC character information you wish to share or, you can send your OOC character information and whether or not you want to come up with an event or us.[/align]
