ASTRA

Are you looking for a place to belong? Follow the Twelve’s Road, and you may find it.

You find the posters throughout the major Eorzean cities and Kugane. TWELVE-ROAD ENTERPRISES, NOW HIRING. Seeking adventurers, airship and sea crew, mechanics, traders and caretakers for our various holdings. Seeking the downtrodden and the lost.

Is this where you belong?

Who are we? We’re a small, close-knit FC focused on a mix of story-driven and slice-of-life RP. Our story lines are heavily character driven and inspired by those who work for and with us. We aim to create a collaborative space where all members and allies can find ways to explore their character stories. Our morality skews Neutral/Chaotic Good.

We are on Mateus. Allies welcome from across the data center.

What do we do? Our RP is largely focused around the function of Twelve-Road Enterprises and the lives of its employees. This theme is purposefully left flexible to encourage broad story-telling and enable that collaborative atmosphere. Combat events and darker themes are included and welcomed.

Under our holdings, we also run an orphanage and some farm land. We have connections in the East through a trade pact with the Doseishise clan, as well.

What are we seeking? RPers of all types, members and allies alike! You do not have to be part of the FC to participate in our events. We aren’t interested in explicitly evil characters (unless you want to talk about being an antagonist with us) but the morally grey may find some spaces of interest thanks to our interest in tearing down the Syndicate (shh). We also have people willing and ready to do PVE content.

When??? We time most of our events for EST prime time, but we have members spread across time zones, including PST and the EU.

Why join us? If you want to make friends in a smaller RP FC and create lovely stories together!

We have a Medium House in Lavender Beds and a holding in the Goblet that serves as our orphanage.

Your character may be interested in Twelve Road if they are seeking steady work in trade or production, need a place to hide or would like to volunteer at our holdings. We welcome unique, story-driven intros, too. (Twelve-Road Enterprises also welcomes any with intention to tear down the Syndicate or other entrenched powers – though we don’t go shouting about this from the rooftops for obvious reasons!).

Interested? Contact us on discord, in game or message @witchfall here on tumblr!

RP HOOKS

Kotodama: Zhai is a family member of the Kotodama, officially brought in through Noburu Rites. Anyone who knows or discovers the Kotodama Clan may find him an odd recent addition to the bloodline. 

Ul’dah: Zhai was raised on the streets of Ul’dah, in complete poverty. A street rat, he can often be remembered trying to earn his money to live through dancing and singing in the streets. He was also quite a scrapper when he was younger, often getting into fights with the other street kids, or even nobles when he believed what they were doing was wrong.

Performer: Despite being primarily a fighter, Zhai does have skills and experience in performing! Need someone to sing and/or dance at your event? Zhai will likely do it! Maybe your character saw him perform somewhere or even wants lessons? He’s very open!

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR

Definitely connections ! Long term and/or short term!

Relationships of all kinds! 

All kinds of RP! Zhai is quite a bright person, but a warning that some themes he is related in are quite dark. I do enjoy playing dark scenes and storylines!

Plots and storylines!

OOCLY, I AM 

GMT Timezone

Almost always online somewhere: Most definitely Discord

Always up for doing more than just RP: Content is viable too!

A G-Pose addict: I may spam you with screenshots and ask you to come take some with me *sweats*

Open and kind! (I think?)

Aliases:, Z, Zen Kahkol

Nameday: 7th Sun of the 5th Astral Moon

Height: 5′4″

Birthplace: Unknown

Occupation: Astrologian/Field aid

Appearance: Relatively pale, yet a slight tan from being outside so often. Average height, somewhat toned, skin usually having some kind of dirt found on it. Keeps his right eye covered by fabric, a few small scars found over his arms. Tends to wear Steppe related clothing, or rather, lack of.

Eyes: Sky blue, his left one having lightened to white.

Hair: Black, with areas of white.

Demeanor: Eager to learn as much about the world as he can, he is very open to others. Having an easy-going attitude and calm temperament, he appears relatively easy to get along with. However, he can seem cold and uncaring, hiding a deep care for everyone around himself. That said, he’s a good listener and open ear, willing to give any advice and help he can. Selfless, he puts others before himself, even if he acts grumpy about it.

Family: Unknown

Current Status: Field aid on the Steppe.

Social Links:

TBD

Fun Facts:

Strangely, he lived with a Xaela tribe for around a year, quickly developing a knowledge of Xaelic.

Despite being field aid, he often dabbles into fortune telling, occassionally found in Kugane, doing just that.

He does have decent sword skills and martial arts, learning from someone close to him, who went missing.

What a different post to others you’re reading today, hey?

I’m gonna be a lot more active on Twitter from now on, thanks to Tumblr’s insanity. I will be keeping the account here to link to character profiles, providing they aren’t flagged. However, most interaction will be over on Twitter from here on out.

My Twitter is (@astraffxiv): https://twitter.com/astraffxiv?s=09

replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. don’t make rude jokes if you’re not friends already though!

quote retweeting is a no-no. when you “retweet with a comment” it’s not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they don’t get the likes and retweets they would get if you’d just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with “LRT” which stands for “last retweet” (it’s fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)

you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content.  you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. it’s a good way to keep things separate.

what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, you’ll be able to see it. 

you can mute people you follow. (and those you don’t, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. it’s a good way to keep the peace!

you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option you’ve selected.)

miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it won’t show up in their notifications as long as it’s within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. don’t be lame. don’t be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom you’re in. use the mute tools at your disposal and don’t be a spoiler. you won’t come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.
