The Network
When standing alone is not enough, we will welcome you to be another thread in the web of our connections. Simple and straight to the point, mutually beneficial business is our motto and standard.
About
Who we are The Network was born of a want to be more than oneself, to not be left wanting and be able to solve far more problems than would be possible alone. While our intentions may vary, our primary focus is upon exploring the unknowns and hidden of our realm regardless of legality and morality.Our Goal is for the Network to reach out to business, groups, venues, Free Companies and individuals that wish to be incorporated into our growing web. To be involved with many different people and to be thought of first and foremost when it comes to someone looking for anyone, or anything, they may need for whatever reason that may be.Our Symbol The Network's symbol, the star with the elements around in a leyline, signify the want to reach around the Star itself, and form the connections that would empower all within. The elements together strengthen those bonds, as well as show our determination to grow and our unceasing need to be more than we are.
Network Guidelines
Rule One
We are a neutral standing business, do not bring conflict from outside sources into the Network or our associates. This includes issues you may have with law enforcement.
Rule Two
Don't kill each other or our associates. Fighting is fine so long as it is agreed upon, in which case the victor is right. If you lose, you are free to rechallenge at your discretion.
Rule Three
Do not instigate conflict between associates, businesses, or otherwise connected to the Network. If there is a conflict of interest between groupings, bring it to Net or management to resolve.
Rule Four
Slavery or the unwilling sale of flesh is forbidden. Those who associate will be tolerated, but will not find dealings with the Network.
OOC Rules
Rule One
Treat everyone inside, and outside, the FC with respect. Those apart of the Network will be both in and out of the actual FC in game, but it is important to remember that we all strive to work together to make a community.
Rule Two
Character actions have consequences, including breaking the IC guidelines above. It's important to know that anything your character does will have an effect on others characters, and the FC as a whole. Be ready for positive, and negative, reactions to whatever your character does/is involved with.
Rule Three
There will be light and dark themes associated with the Network. Please be aware and mindful when interacting with anyone either directly, or indirectly, involved with the community, that there will be things some may not be entirely comfortable with.
Rule Four
Lore bending is perfectly fine, but lore breaking is not something the Network looks for. If it has some credibility to the in-game lore or even within the Final Fantasy universe, then it can be discussed. There's a lot of grey area and openness to much of the lore. Being a WoL is lore breaking in the eyes of the Network as well.
Rule Five
We do not tolerate sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or anything of the sort. If you have a problem with someone for whatever reason, reach out to that person, or ignore them. DO NOT MAKE IT A PROBLEM FOR OTHERS.
What We Offer
Opportunity
We seek those wishing to expand their reach, and provide a way to facilitate ambition. While we are self driven, we also rely on others to help drive forward what we seek to do. A chance to shine is given to those who have no other place to do so. Any skills are valuable to us, be they mundane or extraordinary, legal or illegal, moral or immoral.
Middleman
The Network is, in of itself, a middleman business. We seek out those who seek out certain individuals skills, business with others, or items, and work to find those who would best suit your needs, and help meet with them. We offer our services to be the mediator between groups so that business and connections remain strong and beneficial to both sides. Those of both legal and illegal standing can feel certain that the Network will work toward the best outcome for all involved.

With an extensive selection of top shelf liquors, beer, wine, and more, there is sure to be something for every taste.
Products
The vials listed below have one of two opposite effects and can swap between by channeling a small amount of aether to the sigil etched into the glass. Many of these concoctions are habit-forming or addictive, use at your own risk.
| Saints | Sinners |
|---|---|
| Fortitude provides a boost to one's wellbeing and mends wounds. | Wither puts one in a state of decline, giving one the sensation of being at death's door. |
| Prudence increases focus and productivity. Allows one to go past normal limitations. | Indolence decreases energy and activity, making one lethargic and disinterested in the realm around them. |
| Compassion makes one more talkative and reduces social anxiety. Gives one the desire to interact with those around. | Desire lowers inhibition and encourages the fulfillment of carnal wants. Promotes the chase of excitement. |
| Courage provides one the ability to face overwhelming odds. Banishes negative thoughts and emotions. | Fury enables one to forgo emotional restraint. One's anger is released and their foes will know their rage. |
| Hope gives the ability to see past what lies before them. Grants a vision of a better future to strive for. | Despair makes one see realities that they may not wish to in a harsh clarity. Unable to hide from that which they deny. |
Arcane Inventory
In addition to the trade of specific items, services related to magic are offered as well. These range from research, identification, runecrafting, relic acquisition, and more. Specific services or commissions can be requested and discussed.
| Gauntlet of Arcane |
|---|
| A powerful armored gauntlet that has Arcanist runes etched into the fingers, palm and back of the hand. The Gauntlet can store magic within it and amplify the effects twice fold in a single use, however it costs a great deal of Aether in order to use this effect. It can also additionally be used to take spells, and lower the effectiveness and aether cost, but amplify the amount of a spell. |
| Circlet of Knowing |
|---|
| A magical circlet that is golden with a singular large Sapphire on the front of it. When worn, this circlet can let the user read any language they see, and be able to understand it fully. However it drains one mentally, and once the wearer takes the circlet off, they both forget the languages they read, and forget the amount of time from when worn, to taken off. |
| Ring of Mimicry |
|---|
| A silver ring that has a mouth of sharp teeth on it, that looks like a mimics mouth. This ring allows the user to mimic the voice of someone they hear, allows them to turn an object held into something they see of similar size, or allows the user to turn into an object relatively the same size to themselves for an hour. The wearer must be cautious when using it, as the ring has a chance to revert back into a mimic if it overlaps the allotted time. |
| Infinite Scroll |
|---|
| A beautifully blue and golden scroll that has stars upon it, and a golden sash for carrying. You can pull the bottom of one side down, and an Aetheric projection of light blue and yellow comes up, but blank. This scroll allows the storage of other scrolls and spells for easy use and convenience. It can indefinitely store whatever magic scroll or spell is put into it, and only needs to be thought about to bring up. However if the person holding the scroll was not the one who put the scroll or spell in it, they will be unable to see or call upon said scroll or spell. |
| The Blade of Roses and Thorns |
|---|
| A beautiful looking sword with roses and throned vines engraved into the middle of the blade, going towards the hilt where the handguard has two rose buds on either side, and at the bottom. This is a normal sword usually, but when aether is channeled into it, the engraved roses and vines light up red, and the rose buds on the handguard and hilt bloom into full roses. Once swung, rose petals fall from the blade and either land to the ground, or stick to walls or people around. Once they land or stick, large thorns will shoot out from the petals and impale whatever surface they landed upon. Able to cut into stone, metal, flesh and bone with ease. |
