<p>Interested in roleplaying on a low-population server? Just moved from Balmung and looking for an in-character outlet? Want to try roleplaying, but with a small, close-knit group? The Heralds of Thaliak would love to have you!

 +
<p>Instead of a general-purpose, 'roleplay-in-the-name' linkshell, the Heralds of Thaliak seeks to promote an in-context guild of adventurers, scholars, detectives and mercenaries that takes contracts for interested parties. Your character should have a reason for putting a linkpearl in her ear, and this group represents linkpearl ownership as being an active member, or Herald, of this guild.
 +
 +
<p>I've set this group up as a linkshell (and not a free company) so that players can participate in roleplay on their own terms--while still being able to be in a Free Company with real-life friends, raid groups, or the like. Everything in LS chat represents only what your character hears when you put in your linkpearl. I've also set up a discord channel, FFXIV Roleplayers wiki page, and Reddit recruitment thread (link coming soon).

OOC

Interested in roleplaying on a low-population server? Just moved from Balmung and looking for an in-character outlet? Want to try roleplaying, but with a small, close-knit group? The Heralds of Thaliak would love to have you!

Instead of a general-purpose, 'roleplay-in-the-name' linkshell, the Heralds of Thaliak seeks to promote an in-context guild of adventurers, scholars, detectives and mercenaries that takes contracts for interested parties. Your character should have a reason for putting a linkpearl in her ear, and this group represents linkpearl ownership as being an active member, or Herald, of this guild.

I've set this group up as a linkshell (and not a free company) so that players can participate in roleplay on their own terms--while still being able to be in a Free Company with real-life friends, raid groups, or the like. Everything in LS chat represents only what your character hears when you put in your linkpearl. I've also set up a discord channel, FFXIV Roleplayers wiki page, and Reddit recruitment thread (link coming soon).

GUIDELINES

I'M NOT A FAN OF...

Discriminatory or Hateful Speech - I'm all for profanity or talking about disgusting subjects when the situation calls for it. I'm not fine with racist, sexist, or otherwise discriminatory language. This is petty, hurtful, and (most importantly) easily avoidable. Be warned that I will make a scene and call you out if you call someone a 'retard,' say that something you don't like is 'gay,' or describe your latest PvP victory as 'raping' the other team. These words are unambiguously hurtful, their use is unconscionable, and a staggering amount of fantastic alternatives exist. I'll be respectful in pointing this kind of thing out; please understand that if I do, I am pointing out the behavior--not insulting you.
Obnoxious or Forced Participation - If someone doesn't want to roleplay, they shouldn't have to. That means that if roleplaying in /say in a crowded, public area is offending or bothering other players, I believe it is the roleplayer's job to leave, find a different channel to use, or find another way to avoiding this type of frustration to parties that didn't choose to participate. Similarly, roleplayers shouldn't have to go any further than they are comfortable in any regard. If someone asks not to participate or to change the nature of the participation, thems the breaks--regardless of any previous action or if they were okay with it before.
Munchkin-ism/One-upping/Competitive Roleplaying - Everyone wants to have fun, and roleplayers should consider the interests and stories of their companions when playing their characters, writing their stories, or interacting with their groups. Hogging the spotlight, purposefully disrupting other people's play or stories, and over-the-top plot or character traits (e.g. "I am actually a deity in Hyur form!" or "My character would have known this unknowable information!") don't promote an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone involved. These behaviors provide fun for one person at the cost of the fun of others, which is not acceptable.

I AM A FAN OF...

Communication - I don't believe there is anything that cannot be resolved by peaceful, amicable, and reasonable conversation. This leads into...
Good Faith/Reconciliation - If someone genuinely wants to improve situation, mend a relationship, or apologize for a mistake, I believe that these good-faith attempts at reconciliation should always be taken seriously--with no exceptions. Everyone does things that they regret; realizing these actions as aberrant and attempting to change are natural and laudable acts.
Respect - I consider each person, player, and character to have the same right to act, speak, and think as I do. If someone asks me to do something or change a behavior in a reasonable and respectful way, I will go out of my way to accommodate them. "Get over it" and "have thicker skin" are not acceptable answers to offense being taken.
