Tenebrous <TN-RP> is looking for members! [Balmung]

                                         . - TENEBROUS - .                                                   <TN-RP>

   Performance Venue  |  Sanctuary  |   Definitely not a Criminal Front       18+ IC/OOC   |   Roleplay & PvE Oriented   |  Morally-Grey Aligned             Lavender Beds  |   Ward 2, Plot 1  |   Balmung

  Tenebrous <TN-RP> is a Free Company exploring dark & mature themes. We aim to provide a safe haven for those seeking refuge, providing room, board, salary, and safety for its residents. 

  Though it operates as a small-time performance venue, behind closed doors, you will find not all is as it seems. Tenebrous is comprised of individuals who do not wish to abide by the City-State laws of Eorzea and beyond. Within its sanctum, you may find thieves, mercenaries, black market merchants, members of the Ala Mhigan and Bozjan resistance, 'no-questions-asked' doctors, and more.

  The Talley, a newly renovated bar and performance venue, acts as our primary business front, and it serves to operate in many ways to suit the company’s proprietor, Nico’to Taatalir. The Talley offers a cozy atmosphere, warm conversation, and an open stage for our guests to enjoy. We invite performers from all walks of life to join us as we put on a spectacular show every second Thursday of each month.

  Our FC’s timeline contains criminal and questionable elements, and less-than-legal topics are likely to be explored within the Free Company’s greater plot. That said, in an effort to curate an environment respectful of our wider base of friends, all criminal topics will occur through connection-based RP only, and will not be openly advertised on event nights. Due to the nature of these themes, we require members of Tenebrous to be 18+ both IC and OOC.

   If you’re interested in working for the Talley, we are currently seeking performers, talented /gposers, able-bodied security, welcoming door-greeters, and quick-witted bartender staff.

  Please contact a staff member of Tenebrous on our Free Company Discord for details if you're interested in joining our free company, or working at The Talley. Please be aware, Talley staff needn't be in the Free Company, nor will they be exposed to criminality.

[poppi-fields]

LFRP: L’enore Arhien

The Basics ––– –

Age: 23

Birthday: 23rd Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon

Race: Mixed race (Miqo’te and Au Ra)

Gender: Cisgender female

Marital Status: Single, never married

Server: Balmung

Physical Appearance ––– –

Hair: Messy and usually kept short in what she fondly refers to as ‘duckbutt’ style. One longer side-braid, as is common in traditional Viera styles.

Eyes: Golden-hazel. Can pick up tints of reds and oranges depending on natural lighting or surroundings. Inherited limbal rings don’t show fully, but give her eyes a slightly luminous glow, especially in low light.

Height: On the slightly shorter side of average.

Build: Deceptively lean at first glance, L’enore has some muscle to her and works hard to maintain a physique that can keep her alive in ‘the business’.

Distinguishing Marks: Has some scars on her face, upper back, and arms. Black scales around the base of her tail and up onto her hips.

Personal ––– –

Profession: Defines herself as a professional scoundrel- mercenary work? Thievery? All around no-goodery? If it pays and suits her skillset, L’enore is willing to give it a try.

Hobbies: Enjoys a little bit of astrology and tarot reading in her spare time. Likes gambling when she can rig it in her favor, and writes poetry as well (her father’s influence).

Languages: Speaks a little bit of everything, but is only properly fluent in Eorzean.

Residence: Everywhere and nowhere.

Birthplace: Limsa Lominsa.

Fears: Yarzons. Losing her freedom. Living a ‘boring’ life.

Personality: Sassy, with a quick wit and a playful demeanor. Slow to trust, and even slower to reveal anything of herself past the mysterious mask she keeps. Adaptable, she tends to adjust herself to the personalities of those around her, and doesn’t seek fights, preferring to hoard allies rather than make enemies. However, she’s hardly a people-pleaser, and is unafraid to put her foot down and be a ‘bitch’ when it comes to her boundaries and desires.

Relationships ––– -

Spouse: N/A

Children: N/A

Parents: L’bellah Jero (mother, alive) and Arhien Kha (father, alive). On good terms with both, though her mother often worries about Enore’s ‘dangerous lifestyle’ while her father appreciates his daughter’s tenacity and ability to carve out a life for herself.

Siblings: N/A

Other Relatives: Distant relatives on both sides that L’enore has never met.

Pets: N/A

Additional information ––– –

Smoking Habit: Nah. Drugs: Has been known to indulge on occasion, but prefers keeping keen, especially around unfamiliar company. Alcohol: Often. Has a much higher tolerance than she lets show, and often uses that to her advantage.

RP Hooks ––– –

She may not be a household name by any stretch, but L’enore has worked her way into the criminal underground and created a foothold for herself as a reliable odd jobber who’ll do any sort of work as long as it takes her fancy and pays well. Anything from thievery to a hired hit- it’s all there on her resume.

Honestly, I am more than happy to entertain any ideas you might have, including pre-established relationships (aka: our characters already know each other). Please feel free to reach out to me with your ideas!

Contact Information / Other Information ––– –

Home server is Balmung, but I’ve been known to hop over to other servers to hang out with friends or check out events. Feel free to hit me up no matter where you are on Crystal!

I live on the West Coast of the USA, meaning I’m in Pacific Time (GMT -8:00). I work a rather chill job that allows me most evenings free as well! I am more than happy to try and work around an RP partner’s schedule.

Tumblr IM is probably the best way to get hold of me initially. I can also give out my Discord upon request.

I am not looking for ERP-centric or ERP-heavy connections. I have no objections to such things but if you’re intending it to be the focus of what your character wants out of L’enore, I’ll have to disappoint you in that regard.

On the other hand, I would LOVE to find some criminal connections. Nothing makes me happier than a ‘found family’ of rogues, cads and scoundrels... or at least some morally dubious drinking buddies.

LFRP! Sorneth Caduceus

Art by @elizastarkart​​ , Paid Commission

Sorneth Caduceus

“Given my relatively small social circle, I’m seeking to meet some new faces and perhaps find some new adventures and stories to tell in the process. Perhaps you would be someone interested? Perhaps a bard like myself catches your eye, sparks your curiosity?”

The Basics ––– –

Age: 35

Birthday: December 21st

Race: Duskwight Elezen

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bi-sexual

Marital Status: Happily married, closed relationship.

Server: Balmung, Crystal Datacenter

Physical Appearance ––– –

Hair: Natural silver in hue and dusted with white highlights, it falls to mid neck in the front, and his shoulder blades in the back.

Eyes: A dark grey ‘white’ of his eye makes the moon white hues of each iris all the more vibrant. Strangely, they seem almost wolf-like in nature, though that could just be coincidence.

Height:  6'10 (208.28 cm)

Build: A militant style background, and strict upkeep have resulted in the sculpted muscle that makes up most of the Bowman's frame. Resulting in a tone that is well suited for agility, speed, and endurance.

Distinguishing Marks: 

Facial scar; Only about a year old, this wound was obviously left by a sword given it’s depth and path. It cuts down from his right brow, over the bridge of his nose, and down his left cheek almost to the jawline. 

Facial ink; intricate filigree like vines in dark grey ink adorn the right side of his face both above and below his right eye. 

Crest of the Wolf; Above his heart rests the bust of a wolf in black ink.

Common Accessories: 

Feather adorned hat; Rarely if ever seen without it, one might wonder if it’s removal or destruction would bring about the end of him with how attached he is to it. Weathered, but well cared for, it’s obvious that it’s been on every adventure the bard has had over the years.

Well made dragon scale collar; Stamped with a wolf’s head with an arrow in it’s jaws, the artisan made collar is of the bard’s own creation. An inch and a half wide black leather band circles his neck, with the outer surface wreathed in lavender hued scales from a dragoon’s signature armor. With a locking dog collar buckle at the back of the neck, and the crest of a dragon wrapped around an orchid at it’s front. The piece is both practical, and artistic in it’s design. The ‘d’ ring at it’s front also sports worry stone like pendant of a dark, night sky blue hue.

Silver orchid pendant; Strung from a sturdy chain and hangs low enough to kiss his collarbones, the pendant is as well worn as the holy symbol of a priest or paladin. 

Personal ––– –

Profession: Bard & Storyteller first and foremost.

Hobbies: Carpentry, Leatherwork, Hunting, writing

Languages: Eorzean Common, Thavnarian, Hingan, Doman, Garlean, The old tongue (amarotine/pre-sundering), Gelmorian, traditional Ishgardian, steppe-tongue, shroud-speak.

Residence: Forest cottage deep in the Dravanian Wilds

Birthplace: Whenever asked, the bard simply says ‘The Shroud’

Religion: Similar to the Nights Blessed of the First, he worships and reveres the Sunless sea, and it’s celestial keepers. The Guardian of time, the weaver of fate, and the twelve zodiacs.

Patron Deity: He holds a special fondness for the fateweaver 

Fears: The rage of Dragoons, the loss of his senses, being forgotten/erased by time.

Relationships ––– -

Spouse: Maxia Caduceus, Husband.

Children: None

Parents: Though they are alive, he’s never known them, nor has any memory of them.

Siblings: None that he’s aware of

Other Relatives: He may, he may not, he simply doesn’t know

Pets: A celestial wolf, not unlike a carbuncle, named Fenrir

Additional information ––– –

Smoking Habit: Frequent, usually an herbal mixture of medications and male birth control - though he will on occasion dip into fogweed to quell his nightmares and dull the pain of flashbacks/painful memories. Drugs: Aside from what he smokes, he usually avoids such substances unless properly prescribed to him by a medical professional. Alcohol: On occasion. He drinks to taste, and no longer indulges in wine as much as he used to - on account that it makes him into one -very- flirtatious and amorous drunk. Though he has been known to enjoy absinthe with select company.

RP Hooks ––– –

The Wandering Bard; The man is not hard to find, and even harder to miss. From the music flowing from his harp within the taverns of Eorzea, to his enthralling stories told in the streets to groups of interested people or curious individuals. From the smallest settlements, to the big cities, his name his known as is his talent. All one needs is a genuine interest, and the bard is ever humbly at your service.

The Night Hunter; Only in circles of voidsent hunters, is his skills as a professional seasoned hunter known to his peers. With a reputation for clearing up to A-rank marks solo, he has never over his career failed a contract. For the right price, his bow is yours should you wish to hire him. Should you be tainted, marked, or a creature of the void or light yourself however? Be weary, for the wolf is always watching, and eager for a hunt.

Bad Dravanian Artisan; A bit of a guilty pleasure for the bard, his skills in leatherwork has been turned from a hobby into a marketed craft to the public. From collars, to leashes, floggers, whips, crops, bindings, and harnesses, he produces quality lifestyle and kink gear to interested customers. Custom works are also available to order, and the man takes pride in his every creation - even wearing and putting his own work to use himself. Stamped with his signature of a wolf’s head with an arrow in it’s jaws - it’s easy to trace his creations back to him.

The Secret Author; Under the pen name ‘Heliake Norrst’ the bard has written and produced a great number of books available in most book stores across the world, and in multiple languages for his international fan base. While his work varies in genre from adventure, to horror, mystery, and tragedy. It’s his Romance novels and Steamy erotica that’s made him world famous. Perhaps your character is a fan? Perhaps your character has been on a mission to find out who this mysterious and enigmatic author really is?

Lost in the woods; As one who hunts for his own food, leathers, pelts, and other materials for his craft. The bard is as much at home within the forests of the Shroud and the Coerthean wilds as he is within his cabin. It would not be far-fetched for him to cross someone lost, or having fallen victim to the erratic weather patterns or wildlife within those regions. Be it him happening upon someone while on a hunt, or having someone banging on his cottage door in want for help or shelter. Both are equally possible.

The Kind Traveler; The bard is not one to leave another at the mercy of fate, and even in his more ‘off the beaten path’ traveling it’s not an uncommon occurrence to come across another in need of aid. Nor is he hesitant to offer it.

Aislinn North

Name: Aislinn North

Race: Hyur

Gender: Female

Age: 32

Sexuality: Demisexual

Server: Balmung

Residence: She has a small apartment in Limsa Lominsa and is employed by a Free Company based out of Gridania.

Birthplace: Ala Mhigo

Religion: Adheres to the Eorzean religion of the Twelve.

Patron Deity: Nymeia, goddess of Fate. Her life, being as filled with chaos as it has, has taught her that the individual has very little control over what happens to them in life. All a person can do is control themselves and their reactions. “I’ve done all the preparation I can. Once the arrow leaves the bow, I have no control over whether it hits the target.“

Occupation: Takes on various odd jobs mostly related to engineering and aetherological research. Works for a mercenary company based in Gridania.

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Proficiencies: Sharpshooting, Aether manipulation through arcane maths, Engineering

Interests: Tinkering, Philosophy, Travel, Aetherlogical Studies

Relationships:

SPOUSE: None.

CHILDREN: None.

PARENTS: Deceased

SIBLINGS: None.

OTHER RELATIVES: None.

Likes: Learning new things, reading, travel, people watching, letting her mind wander, triple triad, fixing broken things.

Dislikes: Large crowds, bullies, pushy men, being touched, Ul'dah, wordplay

Fears:

Abandonment - For one reason or another Aislin has lost everyone important to her over the years; childhood friends, mentors, family. She doesn’t realize how much of an impact this has had on her over time, slowly chipping away at her willingness to open herself to new people. As a result, she tends to keep her distance, using her work as an excuse to maintain space.

The Dark - She had an unfortunate experience as a child at the hands of her bullies. To this day she can’t sleep without the glow of a lantern or candle nearby.

Black Magic - She once found herself on a mage’s bad side. The harrowing experience left her convinced there is some knowledge no one is meant to possess.

Being Dependent - Spending years as a refugee in Ul'dah, Aislinn and her father were constantly reminded of how much their survival depended on those with the coin and the power. Ever since then, Aislinn has worked hard to make sure she’s never at the whim or mercy of someone else ever again.

Personality: Generally even-keeled with a steady hand. Aislinn is easily overlooked, she’s never the loudest or the most flamboyant one in the room, but loyal and steadfast to those she’s close to. More often than not, she will put the needs of others above her own, even to her detriment. She gives off a quiet and calm energy but does light up when she gets a chance to nerd out about one of her interests. Some see her quiet disposition as aloof but Aislinn was raised not to use seven words when three will do. As a child she spoke so infrequently that some thought her mute. And while she is well past that, rhetoric is better left to someone more eloquent than she. She still trips over her words or speaks in broken sentences when she gets flustered. In combat she is often underestimated due to her diminutive stature. But what she lacks in brute strength she’s learned to make up for in speed, being quick and light on her feet has saved her many a time. She’s also a crack shot with a variety of ranged weapons. An avid student of philosophy, she prefers to retreat to quiet nature spaces for reading and reflection when she finds herself with free time. Analytical and logical, Aislinn relates best to a person when they are frank and forthright. Her weakness lies in her inability to discern subtlety and innuendo or to read between the lines.

Love and Romance:

Turn-Ons: Strength, protectiveness, kindness, warmth, confidence, tenderness, a sense of safety

Turn-Offs: Loudness, Yelling, Mercurial personalities, pushiness, arrogance, cruelty, inexperience, alpha males, roughness

Relationship Tendencies:  Aislinn has built quite a shell around her due to the hardships and abuse she’s experienced in life. She doesn’t trust easy and has a tendency to withdraw. If she ever reaches out or touches someone of her own volition, it’s a pretty clear indicator that she cares deeply for that person. She’s absolutely monogamous and has no interest in playing games or competing with rivals, she will cut and run and she senses this is the case. After all she’s been through she has trouble believing anyone could see her in a romantic light and subtlety is lost on her so the other person would have to make their interest abundantly clear. Any romance with her would take time and care to build.

Physical Description: Aislinn is on the shorter side though she’s slender and fit from a life lived outdoors. Her most distinctive features are her red hair, which is usually pinned back just enough to keep it out of her eyes, and a scar across her face, just under her eyes. She carries herself with the quiet, earthy confidence of someone who is comfortable in her own skin and knows what it’s capable of. Her attire tends towards the simple and understated as if she’s trying not to attract attention. She eschews bright and garish colors in favor of subtle, muted tones. Instead of a distinct style, she will readily wear whatever is best suited for the city or destination in which she finds herself. She prefers to blend in whenever possible. Her expressions are subtle, a twitch of an eyebrow or slip of a smile is usually as animated as she gets. She’s soft-spoken, with a husky quality to her voice.

History:  A general background and more in depth stories can be found here

RP Hooks:

Tinkering - Have some piece of machinery on the fritz? A clockwork that’s gone haywire? Or maybe that gunblade of yours just isn’t shooting straight. Aislinn knows her way around a variety of magitek and only too happy to get her hands dirty repairing old pieces of machinery or devising new ones.

Ul'Dah’s Seedy Underbelly - Aislinn is no stranger to the street gangs of Ul'dah. She used to be a runner for a cartel during her time in the city. Though she’s left that life behind it’s possible she would be recognized by someone who traveled in the same circles.

Limsa Lominsa - Though the nature of her work has her frequently traveling, she currently calls Limsa Lominsa home. When she’s in town, she can usually be found in the Missing Member tavern, or lounging in the sun, her nose in a book.

Aetherlogical Research - Aislinn is always up for talking about the finer points of aetherlogical study and loves to collaborate on experiments or research.

OOC:

I’m 30+ and prefer to RP with fellow adults. Pretty chill and patient, I’ll roll with most things though I would like the people I play with to be emotionally mature. I don’t have time for toxic behavior, people who can’t keep IC and OOC separate, tantrums or guilt trips.

I’m in the EST time zone. My weekdays are pretty busy between a full-time job and a side job that takes up a significant amount of time. I’m usually around a couple of weeknights long enough to run some roulettes or do some light RP but lengthy RP scenes would probably need to happen on the weekends or in Discord.

I’m interested in plots and long story arcs, relationships that take time to build. I don’t really do tavern RP as my RP time is limited and I’d rather spend it building depth in story and character. Aislinn has a lot of walls and while the potential for romance is there, she’s not going to jump right in off the bat.

I’m absolutely up for plotting a variety of previously established relationships or how our characters might know each other.

I do love running all sorts of content and am happy to have people to run with. So if you’re looking for company for roulettes, maps, raids, etc. I’m there.

RP HOOKS ––– –

A Gentle Soul: You might not catch her in lively, chaotic places very often (she gets lost in a sea of masses easily), but rather in cozy, secluded corners of areas she had time to familiarize herself with. The Carline Canopy is almost like a second home whenever she happens to be in Grdiania; the Hall of Flames in Ul’dah is also a likely place to catch her. Lately, she’s spending a lot of time in Ishgard, helping out in the Brume and absorbing the studies of astrology to the best of her abilities.

The Road Suits A Traveler: More often than not, she’s on the road towards places - either on a job for the Adventurer’s Guild, to help out the locals or simply to stay in motion. She will always stop to greet and chat fellow travelers should they welcome it.

The Valiant’s Trust: Sybelle has recently thrown her lot with The Valiant’s Trust, a philanthropic Free Company where she places her full faith to not only be in a position to better help those in need, but also form ties with like-minded people and finally belong to a community.

Succor for the Lost: Sybelle is very keen on helping those who need it, and would do so happily for free. She wears her heart on her sleeve and her empathy can be easily taken advantage of (whether she realizes it or not).

OOC INFORMATION  ––– –

Hi! I’m Syb-mun. I also go by Tyb (Yes. I’m *that* Tyb, if you ever were part of the LoL Tumblr RP fandom) or Shan (from WoW). You can call me Syb, though!

I’m 24 yo, July baby, female but you can call me whatever. As long as I recognize you’re talking to me :’)

EU, Romanian Timezone (GMT +3) Forever sad because I practically live in Narnia and away from all the cool people.

I don’t have a life so I’m almost always online, though.

I really love cats and I adore birds, unironically.

I play games, lots of MMO experiences. FF14 is now my favorite because oh my god visible jewelry? And minions that clamber on your shoulder? SIGN ME THE F  U  C  K   U  P.

Oh yeah I also swear a lot. Pls excuse, it’s not u, it’s me - I just have pent-up anger issues.

I also have the attention span of a squirrel, and the memory of a goldfish.

If I forget anything important, pls excuse. I don’t know how Tumblr works sometimes.

Oh yeah, @liott-monar is my girlfriend and she’s the reason I got into FF14. Blame her, m’kay?

LFRP: Trystan Faye

Name: Trystan Faye

Gender: Male

Race: Hyur (Midlander)

Age: 23

Occupation: Adventurer

Server: Balmung

Timezone: Australia (UTC + 9:30)

Hooks

-Adventure Awaits: While Trystan is a well-travelled man, he is at his core an adventurer, willing to accept any and all forms of quests that might appear on his radar. Need something fetched, or a sword-wielding warrior to escort you on your journey? Trystan will answer the call.

-Allies and Companions: As a hardened warrior, Trystan is more than capable of handling himself when venturing alone, but that doesn't mean he shuns those who might seek to join him on his various jobs. Are you a fellow adventurer or mercenary in need of a trusty ally? Perhaps the quest you accepted has been double-booked by a rival. Trystan is more than willing to lend his blade to your cause.

-War Veteran: Adventuring since his teenage years, the Hyur has made his presence known on many a battlefield. From the war-torn flats of Cartenau to the gates of Ala Mhigo, Trystan has fought beside fellow adventurers and Grand Company soldiers alike. Perhaps you remember seeing him on the field.

-Dark Arts: Like many adventurers who flocked to Ishgard when the private city-state opened its gates, Trystan spent a considerable amount of time in the frigid north of Aldenard. His many travails put him on the path of the Abyss, and though he is still relatively new to the dark vocation, he would be eager to meet other practitioners who might share their knowledge with him.

What I am looking for

-Active, friendly people willing to drag Trystan along for adventure and excitement. Night owls are particularly encouraged, as my timezone means I sleep during the US daylight hours.

-Anyone who enjoys long-term stories and relationships, whether that be friends, rivals, or more.

-Adventure! This is the big one. I love adventure roleplay, whether that be something as simple as a two-hour fetch quest or a multi-event plot, I would be thrilled to involve Trystan. He's well-suited to the role of both ally and hero, tagging along as a side character to your plot or opposing your antagonist as a beacon of light. Trystan is a very versatile character, and can fit most anywhere, in whatever capacity might work best for RP.

Disclaimer:

-Trystan was specifically created for a long-term, AU RP plot with my RP partner, playing the role of the canon Warrior of Light. Hence his trailer-esque appearance. (Also I love our nameless Midlander hero, he inspired me to pick up the game in the first place!) Anyway, while you're welcome to RP with the WoL version of Trystan, his character is adapted to be nothing more than an honest, veteran adventurer, with a few impressive stories to tell. I entirely understand this might deter some people from RPing with him, in which case I have other characters that I'm more than happy to throw at you! ^^

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to PM me!

What server would you recommend besides Balmung or Mateas? They're closed :(

Unfortunately, I don’t know that I have a specific recommendation for you, anon. As I myself have very, very little experience meandering other worlds, I can’t really with any confidence recommend to you a server I’ve not spent any time on myself - I have no idea what the communities or cultures are like. And even beyond that, ultimately I think it depends primarily on your own wants or goals? 

Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that your desire is to specifically try attending RP events, find in-character connections, and / or hang out with specific friends / acquaintances that call Balmung or Mateus home; I would venture to say that you could move to any unlocked server within the Crystal Data Center, and visit Balmung and Mateus as a >. ( I also think that’s just generally a good way of getting a feel for another server, before you decide to pack up and move there. Because you never know, you might find that one or the other - or both - don’t really suit your desires for a home world. )

The other alternative, potential desire that comes to mind is; you’re looking for a server to really settle down on, and by that I mean you are looking for a Free Company, perhaps looking to start a Free Company of your own, or maybe you want to try snagging some housing. In the case of the lattermost suggested, I would imagine you would want to aim for a lower population world, to have the best chance of finding available plots or apartments.

And of course, you might choose to settle down on a server within the Crystal Data Center anyways, and have both of the aforementioned options open to you, it will all really depend on what feels right for you, where your friends are, etc.

Connecting with people across your Data Center has been made infinitely easier with the addition of Cross-World Linkshells and World Visiting, but the Free Company and housing limitations are still something to take into consideration when thinking about where you’d like to try settling down, and what you’re looking to get from your home world.

If there was one piece of actual “advice” I’d give in your scenario, my only real input would be to say this: don’t treat the people in whatever server you settle down on outside of Balmung / Mateus as stepping stones. For example, don’t join a smaller Free Company, where the people there are trying to form actual friendships and connections, if you just intend to jump ship and ghost them the moment Balmung or Mateus open up for transfers & character creation.

Not to insinuate that you would deliberately do this, of course. It just happens often enough, and I see enough people saddened by it, to warrant giving a gentle nudge to be mindful.

I wish you the very best of luck in your endeavors, anon! I hope this helped at least a bit, if nothing else to provoke thought and get some ideas flowing. I have every confidence you’ll find the right server for you. Cheers.

Hey there, some of your tags don't work (Free Companys) and it seems sometimes like its difficult to catch you by doing @'s so a lot of posts don't make it to this blog, maybe follow more rp blogs to get notified more regularly? I'm not sure how to fix that, but its sad to see :(

The Free Company’s issue looks to be something recent on tumblr’s end, as it’s worked previously, but I’ll try to go through the tag asap to see what’s going on and potentially change it if the issue persists (Because, ironically enough, server specific tagging like Balmung works despite following the same system.). Unfortunately, as far as tagging goes, this website can be extremely peculiar on what it accepts verses what it doesn’t, so I’m not surprised this issue has cropped up... it’s just extremely annoying. Functionality has never been tumblr’s strong suit and I think a lot of us can relate when we say that, if not for it’s popularity, we may have moved platforms a while ago.

Similarly, I’m not sure what to say about the @ issue other than I’ve addressed it numerous times in posts like these and in many, many asks where I have stressed that whatever spaghetti code possesses tumblr’s notification system is absolutely garbage. I’d love to be able to get to people’s posts in a timely matter but tumblr doesn’t always allow me to do so and then the posts are never followed up. I don’t even see a lot of asks at this point, which is absolutely ridiculous considering that’s one of the core aspects of tumblr’s site.

Granted, I do take responsibility for my absence over December/January but I’m a one person blog and I’m allowed to take breaks for the holidays. This isn’t run by a team; it’s not like the other compendiums that exist out there where multiple people handle aspects of the blog. @mooglemeet has always had the same single owner, moderator, etc. The people who have messaged me I plan on getting in contact with asap, but the blog has had lapses where I am unable to manage it for one reason or another. I apologise if I’m coming across as rude, because it’s not my intention, but I’ve had messages like this previously in the past and I feel like it’s important to remind people that I’m a one-moogle show and I don’t get paid to do this. I do it because I love it, I love giving back to this community, but this is something I do for fun and because of that I don’t always have to be here.

As it stands, the blog that @mooglemeet is connected to follows a lot of people. I’m not kidding -- a lot. I try to follow people wherever I can whilst also preserving the soft anonymity of this project, but honestly? Until a functional notification system is in place, following isn’t going to do much. All it serves is to make my feed saturated. Which, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind -- but it doesn’t fix the notifications issue.

Again, I’m sorry if this comes across as rude. It’s not pointed to you specifically; more that this ask has given me a springboard to sort of address the whole thing publicly. I appreciate you notifying me of the free company tag being broken and will work to fix it asap!

LF RP — LEONNAUX ALTOIX

For all practical purposes a ghost, this Elezen only appears on public records as far back as three summers ago. It’s likely, then, that he’s chosen to live under an assumed name. He tends to use his appearance to his advantage, passing himself off as a Wildwood whenever it suits his interests—which, given the discrimination that Duskwights face, is more often than not.

He first stepped into the public’s eye as a small-time journalist—and, unbeknownst to all but those closest to him, the proprietor of The Cloak & Dagger (under the alias “Crow”). He is passionate about magicks and has a demonstrated talent for alchemy beyond what one may expect of a man who’s only twenty and one summers old. Shortly after founding The Cloak & Dagger, he retired from journalism to pursue academia full-time.

In Character

Profession(s): Academic — Director of Alizarine Research & Reclamation ( @alizarinefc ). Information Broker — Proprietor of The Cloak & Dagger, and current self-proclaimed leader of the Ebonguard ( @ebonguardls ). Formerly — Mythril Eye beat journalist.

Alignment: Generally neutral. Loyal to the Eorzean Alliance, but not particularly interested in being a law-abiding citizen.

Professional Talents: Magic — Arcanima and other rune-based arcane arts. Alchemy. Warding and minor enchantment. Illusions. Bartending/mixology.

Current Residence: The Goblet, Sultana’s Breath.

Likely Haunts: Ul’dah and Thanalan, primarily. Bookstores. Antique Shops. Magic Shops. Bars and Taverns. Gambling Establishments.

Hobbies: Gambling, primarily poker and other card games. Magic tricks, primarily sleight of hand. Reading, anything he cant get his hands on. Occasionally writes poetry. Music. Fashion.

Abbreviated Bio: Leonnaux is a Shroud-born Duskwight. He is obsessively studious and somewhat selfish in nature, though simultaneously surprisingly laid-back. Those who can make it past his strictly-business demeanor might note a heart of gold, despite the kind of work he’s often involved in via The Cloak & Dagger.

Having run away from home and come to Ul’dah, he quickly had to find a way to make money, which led him to dip his toes into the criminal underworld... and after he took the plunge, he never looked back, using his position as a journalist as leverage over his contacts. He took advantage of his new-found freedom (both in person and, to an extent, in finances) to continue his studies into the flow of aether and alchemy.

MORE INFORMATION: Full Bio | Tag

Out of Character

Hi there! I’m Mid and I use they/them pronouns! I’m generally most active during NA Evenings and Late Nights. I play on Balmung, but I'm open to RP connections from across the Crystal datacenter.

You can find detailed information about my hopes and expectations for RP on my dossier, here. The quick and dirty version:

OOC Communication > All

I am a med/heavy lore-strict RPer. I prefer medium-to-low power levels in RP and character- and plot-driven scenes. I won’t RP with any player under the age of 18 but as long as you’re not making it weird/creepy, I don’t have a problem with underage characters.

I run an FC and an LS, so I can be pretty busy OOC because I have to run a lot of stuff related to that.

I do not RP on Discord, but I have always been smitten with Tumblr RP as a longform format, so if in-game RP is impossible for some reason, I’m happy to write starters.

In terms of things I’m looking for:

Casual acquaintances and friends!

Business contacts!

Long-term plot-focused RP connections!

Recommendations for events to attend? (And company to drag me along since I hate flying solo.)

Discord and Linkshell communities! Leonnaux is a Shroud-born Duskwight, a criminal, and a mage, so any Discords and Linkshells catering to that would be great for forging connections, though I'm fairly shy. u.u

In relation to some character development, I would love to find a mentor for Leonnaux!

Detailed RP Hooks Under the Cut!

Thanks for reading! If you're interested in playing with me then please feel free to send me a message or make a note of it in the tags or comments on this post. My Discord is available for OOC arrangements and chatter upon request! If I’m slow please bear with me; I have a habit of getting absolutely swamped with stuff at more or less complete random, and my energy levels vary wildly from day to day and week to week.

RP Hooks

1. The Academic/Scholarly Community.

While the majority of Leonnaux’s academic career has been spent in seclusion, teaching himself the skills he’s learned, he eventually came out of his shell. He’s always looking to expand his horizons, and has an extensive personal collection (although it’s doubtful that he’s read every book cover-to-cover).

Leonnaux is very interested in alchemy and, as he practices a mixture of arcanima-rooted rune-based magic and component-based magic resembling alchemy, he’s always itching to learn more about other schools of thought regarding the art. He’s taken a shine to Ul’dahn alchemy since moving to Ul’dah, but he himself heavily utilizes traditionally Duskwight methods. 

Despite his talent for alchemy, he also doesn’t always have the time or knowledge to go out and collect his own reagents and materials, so he relies heavily on outside help, be they merchants in Ul’dah or independent suppliers.

He is also the director of Alizarine Research & Reclamation, a company focused on such academic pursuits as well as the study and acquisition of artifacts, regardless of whether their significance lays in their history or their properties.

2. The Criminal Element

For a long time, Leonnaux’s primary source of income was selling information. He’s always had somewhat of a disdain for law and authority, viewing such things necessary only insofar as they serve his ends. 

He sells secrets and whispers under the guise of a somewhat ostentatious man known as “Crow,” using his “messenger” (really a cover to ensure that he was taken seriously in his work, and to protect his identity/safety if things went awry) as an intermediary between himself and business contacts as a means of protecting his identity due to the nature of his work. He is also not above thievery and is knowledgeable about underground trade networks.

“Crow” is also known to be the leader of a loose criminal network that he calls “the Ebonguard” and is the proprietor of an establishment known as The Cloak & Dagger, a restaurant meant to be a sort of ‘neutral ground’ for criminals and n’er-do-wells to do business and have a good bite to eat.

Leonnaux is known to gamble his money in seedy places. More than happy to sit for a game of cards or a cigarette, one might notice that he can get an uncanny winning streak going under the right conditions. The keenest might be able to connect the dots to the pronounced talent for sleight of hand and other magic tricks that he seems to possess.

In the criminal underground as Crow, he’s earned a reputation for declining the use of force except where absolutely necessary, instead preferring to use blackmail and public humiliation as his primary source of leverage over his contacts and clients. However as he’s given up his job as a journalist, he lacks that leverage and his position is far more precarious. Past clients or contacts with an axe to grind are 100% welcome as pre-established contacts, as long as we talk about it first! 

3. Contract Work.

Leonnaux is more than willing to take contract work, although he has his boundaries. This is in its own heading because he’s willing to take work to research things or track down artifacts as he is to sell information or organize heists to steal valuables. His only hard line is that he won’t kill on contract and he will not aid in any plot involving human trafficking.

Note though that Leonnaux is comfortable enough financially that he may not take every job that’s pitched to him. High risk jobs that offer little reward are likely to be declined, but if the pot is sweet enough then he can be convinced to do anything that doesn’t cross one of his hard lines.

(Note that RPing contracts in the east will be difficult, as I don’t generally play with IC teleportation due to playing on the lower end of the power spectrum.)

4. Mentor + Apprentice

Leonnaux is primarily a self-taught mage, though recently he’s been shown that while it’s an impressive accomplishment, he’s nowhere near as skilled as his peers. His casting is sloppy and reliant upon prerequisite components, which means that he’s not great in situations where he has to improvise. In general he lacks discipline, and he can’t take a hit to save his life. He would love to get stronger, but is unsure of how to go about it.

(Note: This is an extremely long-term plot hook, so I won’t pursue it with anyone I’m not comfortable with. If you’re interested in exploring a mentor/apprentice dynamic with Leonnaux as the apprentice, then feel free to reach out to me and we’ll get talking; I’d like to get to know you via unrelated interactions and general shitposting/chatter first! Forgive me for being awkward, though, I’m very bad at keeping up with people. orz)

Leonnaux is also open to passing on his knowledge of alchemy to others, given that he practices an unusual form of it and would like to see the Duskwight practices preserved outside of Duskwight communities.

RP HOOKS ––– –

Blacksmith Armorer: Need to buy a weapon, a suit of armor, or get one you own repaired then V’tehn is your guy. His name gets tossed around in places like the Ruby Bazaar, Bloodsands and the Blacksmith Guild whenever someone is looking. Has reputation for good works, fair pricing, and a consistent workflow. Only problem now-a-days is he is based in Shirogane. Most can’t make that trip just for a sword, but when he finds himself back in Ul’dah the requests pile up.

Merchant: Having run a stall in the Ruby Bazaar for about a year also helped to spread his name around. He’d proudly display his already made wares for those passing by to peruse and buy. They were sold as is, only minor adjustments could be made but also offered to take commissions which could be picked up at a later date. Even now in Kugane he is at the markets doing business for his Free Company. Braving the sometimes xenophobic merchants for good deals on supplies. Maybe you catch him bartering a deal or you own a trading company looking for a buyer.

Former Pugilist: V’tehn used to go to the Pugilist Guild during his lunch breaks and days off to practice his hand to hand combat. Maybe you saw him there a few times ( maybe even wanted to fight him / did spar ) and you recognize him on the streets.

V’ Tribe: V’tehn’s past is complicated and filled with a lot of misery he doesn’t really like to think about. For the most part I keep that as his personal issues but if you’re willing to link your V’ tribe cannon to mine maybe you could be someone that grew up alongside him ( while he was there ) and years later have come to hate how he was treated. Or you’re just a V’ Cat from a different part of the world banking on a connection solely based off a tribal animal.

WHAT I’M SEEKING ––– –

Friends: Other than his lovers V’tehn doesn’t really have a whole lot of friends. Most people are just clients or one time acquaintances that he never sees again. He could use a few good people he can rely on and just do stupid shit with.

Sparring Partners: Always one for a fight to test ones strength, V’tehn will throw down with most anyone regardless of size, gender, or circumstance. Even better if he gets to get some practice in with his new weapon of choice the Greatsword.

OOC Friends: This one is a little odd to put in a LF RP post, but honestly outside of my FC I don’t talk to anyone in game.

Eventually they took down the Eorzean branch of the slaving company, freeing her sister and everyone enslaved.

Five Moment Crafts: Fun Projects and ‘Life Hacks’ Hosted by T’many Allowe~

Where:  The Ashen Clinic: The Goblet - Ward 9 Plot 35 - Room #28 When: Monday, April 1st, 8:30PM EDT Server: Balmung Admission: Free (donations welcome) No one seems certain where this particular flyer came from, or who gave permission for this  'workshop' to be held at the clinic.  There is some speculation that a very concussed Advocate Allard gave T'many, the Enclave's chief courier, permission to hold it...which sounds about right. Join the Ashen Enclave Crafty Condor Courier Inc. for an evening of quick crafts, “ingenious” fixes, and 'Life Hacks' guaranteed to make every day tasks even more complicated.  Magitek hot glue delivery devices not required, but encouraged.  Glitter will be provided. Work along with Tams and make...something by the end of the evening. Maybe even a chair made out of unclaimed trousers no one wanted from the donation pile.

(( Inspired by April Fool’s and our Free Company's collective endless amusement by those awful and awfully mesmerizing '5 Minute Craft' videos on Youtube, we decided no one was better suited to bringing such sage wisdom to Eorzea than Tams herself.   We hope you'll join us for an evening of laughs and light-hearted RP. And yes, we'll have a playlist of the videos running throughout the evening. Thank you to @etani-a for humoring us with the extra silly banner at the top! <3 Questions, comments, and craft suggestions can be directed on tumblr or to snarksnomy#5640)) @balmungrpcalendar @balmungrp

LFRP: LEONNAUX ALTOIX

For all practical purposes a ghost, this Elezen only appears on public records as far back as three summers ago. It’s likely, then, that he’s chosen to live under an assumed name. He tends to use his appearance to his advantage, passing himself off as a Wildwood whenever it suits his interests—which, given the discrimination that Duskwights face, is more often than not.

He first stepped into the public’s eye as an academic—and, unbeknownst to all but those closest to him, the proprietor of The Cloak & Dagger (under the alias “Crow”). He is passionate about magicks, especially arcanima, and has a demonstrated talent for alchemy, both beyond what one may expect of a man who’s only twenty and one summers old.

In Character———

Profession(s): Academic — Director of Alizarine Research & Reclamation ( @alizarinefc ). Information Broker — Proprietor of The Cloak & Dagger, and current self-proclaimed leader of the Ebonguard ( @ebonguardls ).

Alignment: Generally neutral. Loyal to the Eorzean alliance, but not the msot law-abiding citizen. Has a misdemeanor charge on record (disturbing the peace) in Ul’dah.

Professional Talents: Magic — Arcanima. Alchemy. Warding and minor enchantment. Bartending/mixology.

Current Residence: The Goblet, Sultana’s Breath.

Likely Haunts: Ul’dah and Thanalan, primarily. Bookstores. Antique Shops. Magic Shops. Bars and Taverns. Gambling Establishments.

Hobbies: Gambling, primarily poker and other card games. Magic tricks, primarily sleight of hand. Reading, especially academic texts but also including poetry. He will die before he admits he’s tried writing some of his own. He has a general interest in music and fashion as well.

Abbreviated Bio: Leonnaux is a Shroud-born Duskwight. He is obsessively studious and somewhat selfish in nature, though simultaneously surprisingly laid-back. Those who can make it past his strictly-business demeanor might note a heart of gold, despite the kind of work he’s often involved in via The Cloak & Dagger.

Having run away from home and come to Ul’dah, he quickly had to find a way to make money, which led him to dip his toes into the criminal underworld... and after he took the plunge, he never looked back. He took advantage of his new-found freedom (both in person and, to an extent, in finances) to continue his studies into the flow of aether and alchemy.

Full Profile Here.

Out of Character———

I’m Mid and I use they/them pronouns! My personal blog is @penvmbral. I’m a college student who bounces between Central Time and Eastern Time. I’m generally most active during NA Evenings and Late Nights.

I play on Balmung, but I’m also experienced in Tumblr RP and am more than willing to do threads here! Discord RP probably won’t happen though because my DMs get buried super easily and I’m very easily-distracted with things like Discord. I’m 100% open to connections on other Crystal worlds as well!

Leonnaux is my main character, but I’ve generally been too busy to do much RP outside of my immediate circles unfortunately. I do want to change that, but I will admit to being a little picky!

First: I am a lore-strict RPer. I don’t mind bending the lore a bit if it means telling a better story or if the effect is mostly for flavor, but I take the integrity of the setting very seriously. I also tend play on the lower end of the power spectrum, so I’m not really interested in characters who spend their weekends hunting Ifrit in the Bowl of Embers.

Second: I value OOC communication above all else. If you are unable or unwilling to use OOC channels to the necessary extent to avoid potential issues regarding touchy material in RP and the like then I’m not interested.

I’m also not looking for shipping/relationship RP (Leon is taken and very monogamous) or ERP, but those are kind of givens.

Beyond that, I’m open to anything, but in particular I am looking for:

Casual acquaintances and friends!

Business contacts!

Long-term plot-focused RP connections!

Discord and Linkshell communities! (Note: I’m also willing to come hang out with FCs if they have an open Discord, but I lead my own and am not interested in joining another, sorry!)

Detailed RP Hooks Under the Cut.

Thanks for reading! I will likely be watching the notes of this post and reaching out to people myself from time to time, but by all means feel free to send me a message here on Tumblr. I generally respond within the day. My Discord is available upon request!

Hooks———

1. The Academic/Scholarly Community.

While the majority of Leonnaux’s career has been spent in seclusion, teaching himself the skills he’s learned, he eventually came out of his shell. Having gained some experience in a position of leadership, he is now more confident in his abilities as a scholar and as a mage. He’s always looking to expand his horizons, and has an extensive personal collection (although it’s doubtful that he’s read every book cover-to-cover). 

He also has a passing interest in alchemy, although he’s less skilled with it than he is with magic. He understands and can clearly explain most of the basic principles of Eorzean alchemy (at least the sort they teach in Ul'dah), but the most complex principles or foreign variants of the art are utterly lost on him… Not that he wouldn’t love to learn. Despite his talent for alchemy, he also doesn’t have the time or knowledge to go out and collect his own reagents and materials, so he relies heavily on outside help, be they merchants in Ul’dah or independent suppliers.

He is also the director of Alizarine Research & Reclamation, a company focused on such academic pursuits as well as the study and acquisition of artifacts, regardless of whether their significance lays in their history or their properties.

2. The Criminal Element

For a long time, Leonnaux’s primary source of income was selling information and watching the rumor mill turn. He’s always had somewhat of a disdain for law and authority, viewing such things necessary only insofar as they serve his ends. He sold secrets and whispers under the guise of a somewhat ostentatious man known as “Crow,” using his “messenger” (really a cover to ensure that he was taken seriously in his work, and to protect his identity/safety if things went awry) as an intermediary between himself and business contacts as a means of protecting his identity due to the nature of his work. More recently, he has taken to thievery if the price is right. 

“Crow” is also known to be the leader of a loose criminal network that he calls “the Ebonguard” and is the proprietor of an establishment known as The Cloak & Dagger, a restaurant meant to be a sort of ‘neutral ground’ for criminals and n’er-do-wells to do business and have a good bite to eat. 

Leonnaux is known to gamble his money in seedy places. More than happy to sit for a game of cards or a cigarette, one might notice that he can get an uncanny winning streak going under the right conditions. The keenest might be able to connect the dots to the pronounced talent for sleight of hand and other magic tricks that he seems to possess.

3. Contract Work.

Leonnaux is more than willing to take contract work, although he has his boundaries. This is in its own heading because he’s willing to take work to research things or track down artifacts as he is to sell information or organize heists to steal valuables. His only hard line is that he won’t kill on contract and he will not aid in any plot involving human trafficking.

Note though that Leonnaux is comfortable enough financially that he may not take every job that’s pitched to him. High risk jobs that offer little reward are likely to be declined, but if the pot is sweet enough then he can be convinced to do anything that doesn’t cross one of his hard lines.

(Note that RPing contracts in the east will be difficult, as I don’t generally play with IC teleportation due to playing on the lower end of the power spectrum.)
