Artificers, Inventors, and Manufacturers

Theme: Slice-of-life, crafting, invention, trade, some adventuring

Guildhall: Goblet Ward 8, Plot 5 (large). Including airships and all crafting benches!

 

Welcome to the Free Company of Artificers, Inventors, and Manufacturers! We are a slice-of-life crafting-and-trade FC open for recruitment. We welcome light-to-medium role-players interested in the exciting day-to-day activities of joining a business in Eorzea.

 

We recently restructured our IC format to promote further RP, and emphasize that we are a partnership of small businesses and individual craftspeople coming together under one roof in the name of camaraderie, innovation, and profit!

 

Your character may be involved casually, as a member, or more seriously as a Team Leader or run their own business within AIM. ICly, we also offer classes and skill development for new crafters and inventors.

 

OOC Officers: Zanin Briggs, Salty Lake, Myxie Tryxle, S'hayla Riki, Lekka Meyren. Please send any of us a /tell for more info!

 

IC Structure: Within the AIM hall, you can find teams and free individuals working together on short- and long-term projects. Any member may form a team, which may also hire employees from outside of AIM.

 

Current Teams & Leaders:

Building & Construction: Zanin Briggs

Financial: Poxiva Orthaxa

Research laboratory: Myxie Tryxle

Security: Salty Lake (lead), assisted by Cabin Boy, Ihrie Briggs, and Lekka Meyren

L & F Publishing: Lekka Meyren

Kusemono Cafe: Itete Ite & Spira Ite

The Lady Cafe: E'lari Sero and S'hayla Riki

FC Recruitment Status: Open! Check out our website and take a look at a few of our RP logs to see what our RP style is like (it is fairly social and cooperative). Are we what you're looking for? Talk to one of our officers for a casual OOC interview. We are excited to have new members, and just want to make sure you are on board with our LGBT-friendly, warm, and cooperative spirit.

 

In the meantime, you are welcome to join our IC LS as soon as it makes sense for your character to do so, as we have many business associates and acquaintances on the channel. Send one of our officers a /tell, or stop by our house IC for some drop-in RP.

 

Events

Our RP events are very member-driven, and we encourage FC members to make use of our calendar to organize their own events. We typically host 1-2 RP events per week, many of which are open to the public. Check out the calendar on our website for the schedule!

 

Our Services are Available to other RP FCs!

We are happy to do IC and OOC crafting commissions!

Who We Are, Out of Character

Our OOC FC channel is friendly and helpful. We welcome LGBTA folks, and don't allow homophobia, transphobia/transmisogyny, sexism, or racism in our channel. We enjoy being silly and having fun, and especially helping members with PVE content. We are not focused on endgame raiding, but are happy to do dungeons, trials, pvp, and raids together. We especially want to mentor crafters and gatherers, helping you gear and progress in your Discipline of Hand and Land classes. We typically have 4-8 players online at a given time, and we use Skype and our forums to chat and RP out of game.

I thought I'd add a little bump here to say that we host events most(if not all) weekends and are also active in Skype-RP during those busy weekdays!

 

And the lovely Zanin writes these pretty update posts, like the one for October celebrating our one year anniversary! http://aimguildhall.shivtr.com/news_entries/310648

 

Our new structure means that if your character is an inventive or business-minded sort, the AIM company structure may be able to aid them in starting up a business venture. This is available both for full FC members and our Linkshell associates!

 

...And of course, your character can comission our myriad excellent craftsfolk to create something. Whether mundane or fantastical!~

We had a lot of fun at the talent show! Thanks to everyone who came by and showed off their skills on stage.

 

In updated news, AIM has taken in a few new recruits to be seen about our halls, and we're excited to continue plotlines relating to airships and exploring northern Eorzea.

This of course in addition to our usual Manufacturing and inventing business. Does your character need a specialty item? Perhaps even something as simple as a chair that fits a roegadyn. Come on by!

The holidays are approaching, and while we are busy in real life, the company is as active as ever! Interviews ongoing and pending with new bright minds joining our company.

 

We should be posting some events in the new year as real life starts getting less busy!

2016 is upon us, and we have had the annual AIM Toy drive.

 

In the coming months there are many social events occuring at the AIM mansion, including work-outs led by Worren Tigre, and social events organized by S'hayla Riki.

 

As always, we are located at Goblet Ward 8, Plot 5 (large) and you can see our event calendar at http://aimguildhall.shivtr.com/

In the time since my last post, a new news-post went up on the AIM site! http://aimguildhall.shivtr.com/news_entries/328511

It details some of the adventures and events of AIM in the past several months.

 

 

In the news; We have had several new members join our ranks, and recruitment is still open! Notably there is a event this upcoming weekend titled simply "Mystery Chocolate?" ...Do you dare?

 

 

As always we are open to drop-in RP at Goblet Ward 8, Plot 5(large) for any comissions your character may need fulfilled.

AIM is still going strong, despite appearances on our event calendar. The new patches and PvE content are keeping people busy; as well as all the RP not listed as public events of course.

We gained several new members over the past few months, and by this point they have been granted full membership. It's always a blast when people find what they need in us as a group!

 

 

Social RP continues, and you are welcome to stop by us at Ward 8 Plot 5 of the goblet.

Events have once again been popping up on the AIM calendar, just this weekend Salty Lake took people for a soak on sunday, and there were developments with the northern outpost on saturday.

 

Day-to-day rp is still going strong as well, and we've had a bit of a streak of late of doing PvE content together! It's all going well down at AIM in other words and you are as ever cordially invited to come visit us or submit an application should our brand of social RP tickle your fancy.

New developments in AIM include a weekly organized PvE effort! Running those 8-man dungeons for your weekly bonuses can be a little tiring after a while, but with friends it's wonderful!

 

We are still an RP environment first and foremost however, and have been holding chocobo races amidst our other pop-up social RP.

 

Applications are open for folk who wish to join our little business family.

Patch 3.3 brought us new content, flowers in our hair and new things to do on PvE night hosted by yours truly.

In other news, members are experimenting with chitinous plates, someone fell asleep in the kitchen; and is that man designing womens swimwear for this summer season?

All this and more at the AIM company house, where Artifice, Invention and Manufacturing happens. (And sleeping on benches)

 

This is your reminder that applications are still open, and Social RP continues at Ward 8 Plot 5 of the goblet.

Ahoy there!

AIM wanders on, with social events and PvE hand in hand. This update I want to bring attention to a cute little writeup our FC leader made on the website: http://aimguildhall.shivtr.com/news_entries/353904

 

It details some recent events, and also wishes to make people aware of a optional RP plot involving the creation of a play!

 

This is your reminder that applications are still open, and Social RP continues at Ward 8 Plot 5 of the goblet.

Summer slowly draws to a close (depending on your local geography; hope you enjoyed winter, Australia). - And AIM marches on as always.

 

New developments! Workout RP returns to the schedule, as Worren aims to teach the crafty and tinkery folk of the Company that fitness is next to godliness.

The man has also recently opened his own crafting and tailoring storefront, providing Eorzea with a new outlet for their fashion needs.

 

Elsewhere in the Goblet, L&F Publishing have partially opened their new offices, and aim to soon seek new talent for further books!

 

Should crafting, tinkering, invention or simply social RP be your flavour, why not head down to Ward 8 Plot 5 of the goblet.

Fall arrives! Is it cold where you live? I certainly have a cold. :sleepy:

 

 

AIM walks on as always, with some recurring events keeping us on our toes; and the stirrings of another background plot.

Our last "plot" entailed the invention and production of an airship, these plots are always run very openly, with 100% choice on whether a character participates or not - But they often give impetus to start scenes, or give a character a way to introduce themselves to more adventures.

 

The new plot? Could the upper skies of eorzea be conquered? Could the depths of it's seas be explored? AIM aims to discover the means to do such things, and you could help.

 

As ever, we are at Ward 8 Plot 5 of the goblet
