[align=center]A VOIDSENT THEMED FFXIV RP COMMUNITY[/align]

 

 

[align=center]What is Ark? [/align]

ARK stands for Afflicted Rescue and Kinship. It is an agency focused on voidsent eradication and the protection of people who are cursed, possessed or afflicted by voidsent. ARK plans to run weekly RP events, both social and plot-based. We encourage everyone to write and host their own events and personal stories, as well. Anyone can join regardless of FC affiliation. It is both a Discord, Linkshell, and FC and you can join just one, two, or all of them- your choice! A home estate exists with gardens and chocobo stables and is the IC base of operations. Members can join into one of five separate roles. ALL roles can attend ALL events.

 

 

  1. Hunters: the Vultures. These people have an aptitude for hunting and killing voidsent, and serve as both the feet on the field to get the job done, and the protection for the estate territory.
  2. Researchers: the Owls. These people would prefer to focus more of their time collecting information about voidsent and determining more effective ways of eliminating them.
  3. Staff: the Ospreys. These people prefer to operate home base by providing services to the residents such as cooking meals, protecting and providing for the afflicted. Expertise in dealing with voidsent is still strongly recommended.
  4. Residents: the Kestrels. These people are afflicted by a voidsent in some way. Either they are possessed, hunted, cursed, or otherwise in danger, Ark provides a safe refuge in the estate. The dormitories are warded and protection is always provided- even if it must be to protect the afflicted from themselves.
  5. Allies: the Sparrows. These people are not directly involved with Ark, but are allied with them and are welcomed to all events and stories.

 

[align=center]What is the Story?[/align]

Ark was founded by Khyran Oisin and Selthrana White, both experienced voidsent hunters and researchers. In the distant past, Khyran worked with his mentor Isolde and her collective of voidsent hunters called the Little Birds. They operated outside the work of the Order of Nald'thal for various reasons. Though Isolde and the Birds are long gone, he wished to continue Isolde's legacy. He founded Ark with his fiance, Selthrana. Throughout her life, Selthrana faced many a brush with death at the hands of voidsent, which has hardened her and taught her much of their ways. Her abilities as an accomplished alchemist and her hunger for knowledge has given her a distinct edge for the job.

 

 

OOC, Ark was founded by a husband-and-wife team of RPers, Virilant and Aeolian, who play Selthrana and Khyran respectively. We desire to create a safe, fun RP environment for hobbyist storytellers from all walks of life. Aeolian is experienced with community management and was a co-founder of the disbanded Aethertide <> RP community. Virilant is newer on the scene, but is experienced in real-world management positions.

 

Ark has no IC hierachy. (No prestige/power ranks, no officers, no way to "move up the ladder.") At the end of the day Ark hopes to cultivate an environment where everyone is treated as equal, both OOC and IC, and that we all can become good friends while sharing our RP passion.

 

 

 

[align=center]Rules[/align]

 

 

1. OOC Behavior Policy: Don't be mean. Respect everybody and be positive. Discrimination is never cool, even if you're just kidding. No griefing, trolling or otherwise disrupting people's experience both inside and outside Ark. This is, first and foremost, a drama free community- so please don't pick fights with people! If there is an issue don't hesitate to PM an admin. We don't have a strike system or anything like that- but consistent disrespect of our community won't be tolerated. We'll treat everything on a case-by-case basis.

 

 

2. 18+ Policy: Please keep content in our channels SFW. There are no plans to allow a NSFW channel in this server. Please assume that a minor may be present in the company and don't post explicit sexual content. While we desire that everyone who applies is 18+ this cannot be effectively enforced.

 

 

3. Lore Policy: All we ask is that you respect the source material of Final Fantasy 14 and try to play a character that could believably exist in the environment. We are extremely welcoming and lenient with lore-bending. However, because we are ultimately a voidsent/cult themed guild, the lore points we are particularly concerned about are the following:

 

 

  • Voidsent cannot exist openly in a major city: they are kill on sight. If you RP a voidsent or a voidsent-afflicted character, it is important to bear in mind the need for discretion. This fact is why Ark exists: it is a safe refuge for people who would otherwise be killed by simply existing in public.
  • A lore book was released that included in-depth information about voidsent hierarchy and species. When possible, try to follow what we do know about voidsent. We have access to scans for all voidsent related lore pages for your perusal if need be. (An in-depth voidsent lore guide will be posted soon.)

The FC makes assumptions about voidsent beyond what is present in the lore. We are OK creating new species of voidsent to use in plots and generating our own research about existing species as well. Members are invited to create Research Journals with their own studies about voidsent encounters and they will be treated as "house lore." Submissions are reviewed by admins before the stamp of approval is given to them. We hope to create believable extensions to the existing FFXIV world lore about voidsent, with the eventual goal of using our creations as the subject of plots and events.

 

 

When applying to us, you agree by all these rules, and you are OK with our lax-yet-specific lore policy.
