"History always has a way of leaving it's crap behind. It may be hidden away in vault or hiding in a deep, dark cave, but it's always there - waiting to be found, to show the world it exists. It always looks old, dusty and valuable - very, very valuable - but it's crap, nonetheless. Most people just think it's worth something because it's a few hundred years old... I mean, it works very well for me, as I've gotten quite a lot from people obsessed with items before their time, doesn't mean I understand the value. Of course, it's not my job to do so, as most people think these items have magical properties and can do magical things, but to me, it's all just crap. Yet, here you are, little newbie, wandering into our domain... to get in on our little scheme? Prepare for the ride of your life."

About Us (IC)

The Crimson Blades is an underground association of people who have come together to find rare artifacts for their own personal reasons. some want money, some want fame, some actually have noble purposes, but whatever the reason, those who followed the clues to this little club lead secret lives where they're digging through dirt for hours in hopes of finding something of value. While innocent sounding, they are not above grave robbing, house robbing, or.. any kind of robbing, really, pirating, scamming, pushing people off cliffs (that's only happened twice on record), spelunking, going into creepy haunted mansions with their scaredy-cat great dane, and other such activities. The guild gets their name from the most valuable of artifacts, The Crimson Blade, though no one actually knows what it is.

 

About Us (OOC)

(Clicking on them will show videos I made for each guild... FFXIV's is coming )

The Crimson Blades has been around for 8 years under two names, The Crimson Pirates and the Night Blades.

was an RP linkshell on the Quetz server that last around 6-7 years, I only lasted 3 years, however and moved onto WoW, where we created the

, a progressionist/RP guild on Boulderfist, then on Emerald Dream. That lasted around 3 years before we moved onto Aion, where we created the final version of the

. As the game was... well.. crap, it last 6 months, and most of us decided to move to FFXIV. We are an old guild, experienced with RP and Endgame, and being in our guilds usually means a stable environment for people to hang out.

 

We are a light-casual RP Guild, who's guild chat is always OOC. As we also focus on doing stuff such as endgame and dungeons, we find it easier to keep guild chat OOC. However, you will not find a more dedicated group of RPers, even if we're not in character all the time. We attend events, hang out in Taverns, have our own storylines, RP with other guilds on a regular basis, and generally have a good reputation in RP communities. We don't take ourselves too seriously, though we do have our share of loldrama RP stories, and we have learned to laugh at our characters (And each others!) on a regular basis. Light RP guilds have a somewhat bad rap in RP communities and we intend to prove them wrong

Would like many.

 

Application criteria:

Ehh...... it varies... >.> The two main things are that you don't break lore and have a thick skin. We make fun of each other on a pretty regular basis, and make fun of each others' characters more. We like to have fun and we LOVE to laugh.

 

Recruiting:

We don't recruit in conventional ways. Being an already large guild, we stalk forums looking for people who would fit in with us OOCly, as ICly we don't expect characters to get along in the setting we provided. We will probably come to you. And if you come to us, then we apologize in advance for being so weird . Because of this recruitment is usually slow (We have, as of Mid-August only recruited 4 new people, but now we have over 20 in Sept), but worth it as everyone feels like part of the group.

 

Ventrilo:

Yes, Used for RP Events (While OOC of course, we don't RP in Vent ) and OOC things like Dungeon crawls.

 

Additional info:

We are full believers of having fun, getting to know each other, getting game shinies, and Roleplaying.

We are asked to keep in mind that further comments made in this thread are simply to address concerns, changes, and other methods of modification to our guild regime. This is to prevent unfair bumping of certain guilds to the "top" of the list so to speak. Thanks in advance.

We've decided to up our ante and become a purely casual linkshell. Sorry, Castiel for making you have to change your website ^^;

Crimson Blades is now invite only and we are no longer actively recruiting as we hit our initial cap of 40 people. Those who have had an invite extended to them before this message was posted (Looking at you CeruleanKnight) will still be allowed to join our ranks if they so choose.

 

Only Ellion and I will be authorized to open an invitation to a potential member until release.

 

We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

Please note, the doors are not closed, but they are roped off.

Welcome to your Beginning.

 

 

 

Lyric Translation:

The sound of the wind echoes again and everyone seems to plant new seeds,

reciting ancient poems at the wallâs remains.

 

Waves that crash over the riverbanks, what do you lament?

In order to keep the names of the people who remain separated from disappearing, wrap up your grief now and letâs forgive.

 

Because a light still shines beyond the tears, I will entrust this heart to the riverâs flow.

Like the moon dancing on the water, even if everything is read, no matter the time,

we can keep on living.

 

When pain is someday rewarded by love, please tell me why life is a struggle, please answer me, why do these chains accuse?

Everywhere there is the same sky and yet, the clouds bear the scars of time; they call out to the rain

 

Until a light shines beyond the tears, I will entrust this heart to the riverâs flow.

Like the moon dancing on the water, even if everything is read, let us keep on living

in the ways of long ago.

[ArmachiA]

Recruitment open again~ We'd enjoy getting some more EU, as we have 8 or so.

 

We are restricting recruitment on Miqote, however, we have more of them in our guild than any other race... combined. Please see website for more details
