Free Range Chocobos <<FRC>> was established July 15, 2017 and has been home to a delightful blend of arty RPG nerds & casual content playing friends since. We are a neutral-aligned business free company with a focus on mystery & adventure RP. The White Lotus Inn is our Studio-Ghibli inspired home base for stretching our worldbuilding & storytelling muscles in this universe. We are an 21+ free company and an LGBTQIA+ allied space. We use discord for coordination of events, hangouts, PVE & PVP and we often collaborate with other FCs for seasonal roleplay events.

ROLEPLAY HOOKS

■ Your character may be part of the Inn Staff, a contractor, or a patron.
■ Newly documented hauntings at the inn might require a special research team to investigate locally or even on the other side of the world. Ghost hunter? Exorcist? Researcher? Adventurer? A brave soul? You might be needed.
■ While we have a great place to put on a show, there's quite a lot of travel involved with our venue. From importing expensive interiors to exploring an abandoned garlean research facility for a boiler part, there's no shortage of adventure.
■ The White Lotus Inn is a fixer-upper. It needs maintenance almost every day and there are floors yet to be explored.
■ With every venture and event, the team always needs characters of certain specialties.

RECRUITMENT

Open recruitment is currently closed & new members are by referral only. However, we’re always interested in meeting new like-minded people and building connections with the White Lotus Inn. We are always accepting new RP opportunities, so look for us in game and hit us up there or on our social media pages!

Member Roleplay Guidelines

■ We encourage players to build characters and backstories around established lore and within reason. We would prefer to write with characters that are plausible, well thought out and are a concept you are enthusiastic about.
■ Lore policing is not welcome in our spaces. Politely disengage if you don’t like the portrayal of a character or concept.
■ Godmodding / metagaming is not considerate of other players and is not allowed.
■ Griefing, the intentional disruption of another's roleplay, is strictly prohibited. Trolling will not be tolerated either.
■ We expect players to understand IC consequences for IC actions (if you start a bar fight, you may get thrown out etc.)
■ Be courteous, patient, and flexible during large events. Chat scroll will go by fast and it is overwhelming for some.
■ We are an 21+ FC, however, we expect players to use common sense about erotic roleplay & adult conversations. (If you wouldn't do it in a public space IRL, don't do it in a public space in game).
