It’s the end of his journey. From homeless pauper to courageous hunter. Bellamy has lived a life of sacrifice since he was a boy, and as he’s grown into a young man has come to embody the elements of strength, courage, and compassion that the strength arcana stands for. Pictured here he stands in victory with his ever present smile, his finally awakened familiar, Amaterasu, at his side.

Requin & Bellamy: THE ACE OF SWORDS The Ace of Swords marks a wave of new energy from the intellectual realms. You may be on the verge of a significant breakthrough or a new way of thinking that allows you to view the world with clear eyes. Or, you may have a sudden realization or conscious understanding about an issue that has been troubling you and can finally see the path ahead of you. It is a sign of success and victory. And though while this Ace is a sign of triumph, the jagged mountains in the background suggest that the road ahead will be challenging. You will need mental resilience to navigate this path.
======================================
I think I tear up every time I look at this. Another beautiful piece by @dyalavellan of my boys. These two mean so much to me and they captured them perfectly. Requin and Bellamy have been through so much in their personal lives before they finally met one another. Now that they’re together and nearing the end of this journey, I feel like that quote from Jolene Perry is their anthem.
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:
Black Market Vendors. We are looking to round off the plot arc with a black market event bringing together vendors who operate in Othard.
Sanctuaries. As part of the objectives of the Fly-by-Night Job, the Ebonguard must seek sanctuaries where they can conduct business and meet discreetly.
⸻ 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:
Heist Marks. A heist is only a heist with a target, be that a bank’s vault, a museum’s collection, a jeweler’s work, a casino, or even an invaluable relic or family heirloom.
Law Enforcement. Eorzea-based law enforcement who would be able to conduct investigations into Ebonguard’s activities and make arrests as necessary.
