SEEKING COLLABORATORS!

Be it allies or antagonists, we enthusiastically welcome the prospect of working with like-minded writers, be they solo players or other groups. As a community, we are of the opinion that it is better to work with other players and groups than utilize DM-controlled NPCs and dice systems in the process of crafting plot arcs and storylines!

We are preparing for two plot arcs which have space for collaborative RP efforts in particular, which will be detailed below; however, we also welcome others to approach us with their ideas! Need a band of criminals to act as antagonists for one of your plot arcs? Contact us and we can chat!

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

⸻     THE FLY-BY-NIGHT JOB 

Riches. Secrets. Blood. The faces of the players in the underworld may change, but by and large the markets stay the same: there will always be those who chase wealth, those who covet secrets, and those who believe the best retribution is repaid in blood. Kugane, in this manner, is no different.

The Fly-by-Night Job is Ebonguard’s upcoming arc centered around the network’s efforts to expand its reach into Kugane, which as a port city is an important market to have eyes in regardless of profession. Collaborators we’re looking for include:

⸻     MODUS OPERANDI

Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.

Modus Operandi is an arc that Ebonguard would like to run in the near future centering around heists and intrigue. Its objectives are more concrete than those of the Fly-by-Night Job, but nonetheless exist to encourage and enable organic development first and foremost. The base premise of the arc is the preparation for, and execution of, an extremely difficult high-value heist somewhere in Eorzea (preferred setting: Ul'dah or Ishgard).

Modus Operandi is still in very early planning phases, so it’s elatively open ended with regards to getting involved right now. The only story beats that have been definitively laid out for this arc are that the job is meant to be high-risk, high-reward and that the Cloak & Dagger’s proprietor, Crow, should be arrested in relation to it.

Collaborators we’re looking for include:

WHAT IS YOUR MODUS OPERANDI?

There are those who favor a silent blade; other, silver tongues, the embrace of night, or the sweetest kiss of poison. For each occasion, a suitable tool, and the black linkpearls are no different—a weapon to be wielded by those who belong to the shadows of the Eorzean underworld.

   ⸻     ABOUT US

      EBONGUARD is is a clandestine criminal network founded in Eorzea, centered around a collection of mysterious black linkpearls. Its members can be anyone and they can be anywhere, as it is not an organization in the strictest sense of the word.

       OOC,we are a lore-compliant crime-themed Discord/CWLS-based RP community. We are not an FC! Our focus is on character- and intrigue-driven RP, with an emphasis on the collaborative writing aspect of RP rather than tabletop-style campaigns. We operate in NA timezones and have an age requirement of 18+ due to the mature themes inherent in crime RP.

  ⸻     WHAT WE OFFER

     ⌞ FREEDOM & FLEXIBILITY:
The only requirement to participate in Ebonguard’s RP is being lore-compliant and being chill; while there is an application for membership, this only influences whether your character has a black linkpearl and whether you are eligible to staff our public RP venue, the Cloak & Dagger. There are no activity requirements, you aren’t locked out of participation if you aren’t a member, and you don’t have to leave you current communities in order to participate.

      ⌞ STORY-BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES:
The black linkpearls exist as a plot device to be used in others’ stories, and as such Ebonguard seeks to facilitate development both on the individual and group level through organic story-building opportunities through roleplay, discussion, solo writing, and more! Additionally, all plot arcs we run as a community are structured with player contributions in mind; no single DM dictates the course of the story, and character actions matter.

  ⸻     WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

     ⌞MEMBERS & ASSOCIATES:
Criminals from petty to prolific are welcome to join us; however, please note we are a heists-and-capers sort of crime group, not a cults-and-voidsent one.

     ⌞CLOAK & DAGGER STAFF:
