𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆

Once a humble coffee shop nestled in the heart of a great free company, The Fireside was the go-to place for members of Firelight Trading Company looking for a bite to eat after a long mission. Realizing its potential as both a meeting place and a means of capital, its proprietor expanded the business throughout the various city-states of Eorzea until The Fireside became synonymous with coffee, company and great food; sourly needed after the anguish of The Final Days. Now, patrons old and new can gather to enjoy the hospitality and cozy atmosphere these avenues provide.

Interest Check in a Crystal DC based FFXIV RP/Community Discord?

In my hunger for interaction and wanting to get back into RP in FFXIV, I've come up short on a true 'RP/community finder' style Discord community, for FCs, other groups in and out of game, 1x1 RP, open world RP, and so on. Maybe even would have a section for GPosers to open commissions in if there's demand for it outside of the existing GPose communities. Would be 18+ because there'll be dedicated opt-in channels for NSFW/adult RP and communities because they deserve a place to call home too!

Anyway, I'm doing an 'official' interest check now. If anyone wants to help run it, or wants to give me a hand in orchestrating what is probably a big task, hit me up!

If you're even vaguely interested, a reblog and a like would go a LONG way to helping me out!

(Side note: I have a neglected FFXIV RP sideblog at landshorizon, I'm revamping it right now with new OCs and hoping to launch this just after the revamp! For now I'm posting on my main/multifandom just cause it's easier to keep track of for me.)

LFRP: Alice Leach - Crystal DC

Look at that stud muffin...can you believe she hasn't been in any RP for almost a year now?? Crazy. That's why I'm looking for new RP contacts! Alice is a bruiser, bodyguard type with a penchant for secret softness and surprising insights. She is currently aimless and looking for something to occupy her mind and time, be that people or work.

In-game RP: Is preferred for the most part, but I am willing to occasionally do Discord stuff in the long run. I have a weird work schedule and travel a fair bit, so sometimes it is easier. I would prefer to do in game to start.

Story Length: I would greatly prefer long term RP as opposed to just one-offs. I've had plenty of one-offs and they leave me feeling deflated. I want a storyline, though not necessarily romantic (I'm not opposed, but I think going into an RP with that goal leads to bad times.)

Story Types: I am pretty open to all sorts of stories. Casual slice-of-life tends to burn itself out pretty quickly, so action and adventure, mystery, even horror stuff to punctuate the story is always good. Alice is an inherently violent creature, despite her looks, so playing to that is preferred (also it gives time to play out the juxtaposition of her as violent and also tender.)

Misc: I certainly prefer paragraph length RP, but I know there are times when that doesn't work. Sassy banter works better in short bursts, for example. That being said, I need meaty RP, something that has substance.

HOOKS! RIGHT HERE!

Do you need someone to enact incredible violence, either as a bodyguard or a mercenary? Do you need a self-sacrificing meat-shield to protect you in "abandoned" ruins and temples?

Do you need someone with connections both above and below board, fostered through time as a distiller running a slightly shady business before she got bored?

Do you need someone who won't ask a lot of questions pertaining to morality of a plan as you obtain goods that may or may not belong to you?

Do you just need someone brash and exciting to go on stupid adventures with? Message me and maybe we can come up with something fun!

Hello, everyone!

I hope that you've all been enjoying the patch and all of the content that it's brought to us to help wrap up some content given to us throughout EW. :>

Outside of that, and the real reason for this post is that the Initiative would like to invite you to a Valentione's Speed Dating event!

To preface: this event is 100% for fun and is not meant to be a proper 'let's find you a partner' type of event. It is more to foster community and help create friendships since sometimes it feels difficult finding people you click with! We hope this event can help bring people together to have fun and make new friendships!

This event is open to both roleplayers and people who don't roleplay! There will be separated categories for RPers and for non-RPers!

If you're interested in participating, please check out our carrd where you will find more information about this event and a sign-up sheet. The sign-up sheet on our carrd is solely to ensure that we have the space to host this event pending on how many people end up wanting to come to it! :>

Sign-ups will go from tonight, January 16th, till January 30th! [CLOSED]

The event will take place February 17th at the Starry Garden @ Crystal > Mateus > Empyreum > Ward 9 > Plot 42 from 6PM - 10PM Central.

The Umbral Udon is a far Eastern dinning hall and Noodle Bar hosted by Siyoh Mari with the intention of introducing foreigners to Eastern cuisine while still appealing to and serving the Doman populace.

I am considering hosting small dining events at the Umbral Udon sporadically and I was curious to see how much interest and what people might prefer out of this sort of venue before attempting to structure any sort of legitimate event.

If you're interested, please take a moment to vote for what appeals to you most.

That being said, I would like to state this venue is open at all hours for anyone to come and roleplay in regardless of an event being on or not. While it may not be consistently staffed, there are plenty of Namazu NPCs who are happy to attend to all of your dining needs when Siyoh is away.

The main room of the Udon is set up in the same fashion as a Street Food stall where you can simply come slurp down some noodles at the main bar!

While I do humbly ask the additional chambers in the FC are respected as private or VIP access roleplay wise, you are welcome to visit out of character and get a feel for what VIP treatment may entail for private dining!

LFRP - Faye Covington - Crystal DC

Hello! I am a long time FFXIV RPer looking for more RP for my main, Faye Covington (though I have a slew of alts we can have some fun with, as well), a noblewoman and mage hailing from the Twelveswood where she runs a teahouse which doubles as a front for an information brokering business. Feel free to check out her carrd above for full details! Ideally, I’d like to delve into the more exciting things–drama, mystery, intrigue, tension, conflict, combat, adventure, horror, DMed events, dark and mature stuff, storydriven RP and the like! Maybe even some romance later down the line if things click that way. I definitely also enjoy casual, social, slice-of-life, and tavern RP, but I expect that will fall into place along the way!

I am looking for…

In Game RP - I enjoy Discord RP sometimes, but I’d like to do some RP in game and establish a rapport for our characters there first! Long Term RP - I would like to RP with people who actively play the game and can create an ongoing story where we RP together every so often rather than one-and-done scenes. Para RP - My post length ranges from semi-para to multi-para usually. I would love to RP with folks who enjoy writing so I can flex my muscles a little! Lore Friendliness - I do enjoy FFXIV’s setting and how respecting it makes for a more cohesive story. So I don’t like breaking or disregarding the lore! But I do like to suspend disbelief a little and explore the bounds of what’s possible in this fantasy setting and have fun with things. If some lore bending or “unusual” characters aren’t your thing, please know all my characters have their oddities.

Hooks NEW! Bodyguard Wanted - With her previous one out of the job, Faye is looking for a new bodyguard(s). Playing a tough type who wouldn't mind some gil for putting up with a sassy noblewoman? Here's your opportunity for some RP fun, including getting dragged along for various RP events and storylines, if you're interested. Information Broker - Does your character have any reason to hire an information broker or private detective? Need to move your storyline along? Want to form a business partnership… or rivalry? Did someone hire Faye to investigate your character? Or perhaps it was your character who was already sold out to an enemy and they want their revenge? Kindred Spirits - Is your character a fellow from the upper crust? Gridanian? Businessperson? Tea aficionado? Mage? Ties to the Garlean Empire? Or the Void? Will it lead to a friendship or partnership? Or frenemies, rivals, or enemies? Socialite - Faye likes to make her existence known and go out and about. Need someone to attend (non ERP/night club) RP events with you? I am glad to! Anything Else - I am down for any suggestions. If there is a role in your story that needs filled, let me know. If anything in Faye’s carrd piques your interest, including for a pre-established connection, run it by me! If you’re writing a personal storyline for your character and they need some friends, I’m along for the ride. If there’s a reason you think Faye might hire your character for something in their expertise, just let me know! Faye can interact with pretty much any character, and depending on circumstances can play the hero or the villain, or anywhere between, so please toss your ideas at me! ??? - Do you like vampires? What? Why do I ask? No reason, really…

Please message me if you’re interested! Discord: Destiny (Faye)#8463
