2. A Conversation with the HR director and GM of the Company. Strike offered.
3. Final warning from HR director and GM. 24hr Discord Mute.
4. Dismissal from Company.Upon dismissal, all FC ranks will be removed from you in the Discord, but depending on severity of your actions, you will be welcome to stay within the Patron sections of the Discord.All strikes have an expiration of one month should no further strikes be given.
Dismissals can be appealed to the HR director on a case-by-case basis. Based on the severity, you will be informed on IF and WHEN dismissal can be appealed.
RULE ONE. // All members of the Company should show the level of respect they expect to be given. If you feel as though this isn’t being represented by certain members of the Company, please reach out to the Chairperson/s or open a ticket.RULE TWO. // To help Directors with identifying members, and for people in the community to recognise you, please ensure your server nickname is that of your main OC. If your character prefers to go by a nickname, that is also acceptable.RULE THREE. // Though we are an 18+ Company, please keep channels mature. Anything that isn’t SFW/PG, post in the NSFW channels. Messages and/or media that does not adhere to this will be removed without warning.RULE FOUR. // Members of the Community should remember that their actions in and out of game reflect on the Community as a whole. Be sure to leave a positive impact on those around you!
Strong language is, of course, going to be used and accepted in this server, we’re all adults. However, this is expected to be used as light humour.
Derogatory language relating to someone's gender identity, sex, race, ethnicity, sexual preferences, ability, etc are STRICTLY prohibited.
Messages and/or media that does not adhere to this will be removed without warning, or in more serious or repeat offences, will result in an immediate ban without appeal.RULE FIVE. // After 30 days of inactivity, you will be moved to the OOC rank.
If we have not heard from you after 60 days, you will be removed from the Company.
If you get in touch with an officer within the 60 days, you will remain in the Company. If you are removed for inactivity, you are more than welcome to return once you are active again.RULE SIX. // Active RP alts are limited to three (3) per person, but there is no limitation of characters you can have within the Company.Please be advised that even if you are active on any character, inactive alts will be placed in the inactive rank until you choose to play them again and are held to the same 30/60 day activity rule.RULE SEVEN. // Please do not multibox RP. It makes things confusing for the people around you and the DMs. Linkshell communications and Discord RP are exempt to this rule.
RULE EIGHT. // Metagaming and/or Godmodding ARE NOT accepted within our community as it hinders the group’s ability to RP and for everyone to enjoy it. Our actions will and should affect situations and scenarios ICly if it MAKES SENSE, and the information needed was offered in a roleplay setting.
In addition, the company enforces the IC=/=OOC line. Please understand that IC interactions and behaviours do not represent OOC interactions and behaviours and vice versa. If there is any indication that the line is being blurred, it is encouraged that you try resolving the matter privately at first before approaching staff for help. It may just be a case of simple miscommunication.
Reports of either Metagaming or Godmodding will be met with a warning from Leadership.For more clarification on the IC=/=OOC line, please review this document.RULE NINE. // Jobstones are a prolific part of FFXIV both in lore, and more recently, in roleplay. With this being the case, we actively encourage your characters to use jobstones, but ask that they be used responsibly, as they run the risk of Godmodding.
Jobstones are available as a mechanic within the roll system. If your specific stone isn’t in the documentation, please reach out to the Head of Bounty Operations to discuss ideas.RULE TEN. // Only directors have permissions to approve applications and invite to the FC, but everyone can invite to our community in Discord.
Every new potential member will be asked about their character before becoming an IC member, and whilst we are lore flexible, there are certain boundaries we have as a community.
If you are unsure if your OC will cross this boundary, feel free to open a ticket.RULE ELEVEN. // Everyone within the Free Company is welcome to suggest Campaign, Story, and Bounty ideas. But please be aware, that should you suggest something, you will be the one to run and plan the events with the head of Bounty Operations. The Directors/DMs will not DM every event within the campaign for you (with the exception of a few depending on circumstance.) but will help with general ideas, outcomes, and event structure.
If DMing is not your strong suit, but you have an idea, please open a ticket.
About Us
"Omne ignotum pro magnifico"
Everything unknown seems magnificent.
"A Star with infinite history and infinite stories to tell. All which we will move heaven and earth to find.Since the dawn of time, our Star has seen the rise and fall of Empires and civilizations. It is up to us, the people of today, to determine how they are remembered. Through the passing of time, historians of Eld have had their findings watered down to the mere basics of their studies to show only a fraction of the truth, if that.A Company bound by no border, no government, and no laws, Étoiles Infinitus is determined to find that which history ignores. The truth. To discover the intentions of a people and understand their creations, their purpose, their lives, as if we were there ourselves. No matter where that path may lead, and what it will take to find our answers."
Étoiles Infinitus: “Infinite Stars"
The name a merge of Garlean and Ishgardian parlance, just as its two founders… and a interpretation of the goals of the Company: to explore the infinite wonders of the world as well as looking even further to the Stars beyond.
And yet... That is not where the story ends.
The founders, being men of renown not only in their specific fields of expertise, but Star wide, saw it fit to use their reputations- their influence- to create a home for those lost just as they once were.
The pair, with friends in tow opened The Whispering Wyvern Mercenary Tavern within the heart of Empyreum. A home for mercenaries ran by mercenaries, they tell their regulars.
Yet they need not know of the aristocratic background surrounding those dimly lit halls.
Led by an Ishgardian Dragoon and Au Ra in Ishgard at the turn of not only the Dragonsong War, but the Final Days, the name felt fitting. A sanctuary where secrets could be whispered, stories could be shared, celebrated and even written. A sanctuary to those lost to find new friends, new families, and new beginnings.
