Noble Vagrants of Mateus
A final Fantasy XIV Free Company
You can find us from Mateus, The Goblet - Ward 5 | Plot 14.
NOVA WAS a small, active community that houses warm personalities and kind people. We are an encouraging and positive RP-PVE Free Company and we're doing all kinds of group content/events together.Noble Vagrants is a caring home for those who wish for a comfy, community oriented guild, where lasting friendships form and memories are made. We avoid problematic cliques and do what we can so everyone in the FC becomes part of the crew. You're not a number, we're all individuals here who really care about everyones progression and go out of our way to help eachother!We help those in need and always strive to leave a positive mark to wherever we journey together. Housing many companions in misfortune, our Free Company offers a home to those that seek it.
Our event schedule is currently also EU-timezone friendly, without forgetting our NA majority.
About us
When we are not hacking down bosses and saving the world, we like to relax around all kinds of other activities.
For example, chill fishing trips amongst friends, roleplay adventures or collection of various knick knacks! Be it achievements, minions, mounts, weapons, blue mage spells or TT-cards.
NOVA encourages our members to create something of their own!Our group is sprout friendly and offers companionship for leveling and beyond. We do our best to help even random encounters have a great experience in the game, since we think it's never a bad idea to make the world a little happier place to be.During our off-time we enjoy chatting in discord about life, hobbies, games or various other topics. Our discord has some handy-dandy tools and info sharing platforms to research upon!
Roleplaying
Light RP:
In terms of Roleplaying. NOVA is all about accessability. We're themed around treasure hunters, mercenaries, adventuring and slice of life. Our rules are very simple:
-No powergaming
-No godmoding (forcing another person to do something against their will)
-We only consider you to be 'In Character' when joining & during RP events of any kind.
-No teleporting, flying or flashy mounts during Roleplay sessions.We follow the world and magic rules set by the in-game lore, leading to interesting scenarios.
We're fairly lenient on what your character can be, so long as it makes sense, can be explained and follows the very basics of roleplaying 'etiquette'. I.E You're not a Scion or a Warrior of Light or related to one.We don't have complex battle systems, or dialogue systems.
When the RP tags are on. It's much like playing the game normally, but you just react to things that are happening around you, in character.We keep things open and organic, for combat we often like to use FATEs in the game world. We sometimes have item-level caps for certain special events too, so to keep it challenging.
We develop RP quests with tasks to be completed leading to various outcomes. RP Treasure Trails complete with real riddles, clues and tasks to be completed to continue to next step and eventually the treasure!
Basic RP Fluff:
Noble Vagrants Organization
As an organization - Noble Vagrants is a treasure hunting and expedition group, that's hidden on plain view. Functioning under the alias of Lucky Strikes, a small armorers shop in the heart of The Goblet.
Noble Vagrants is a discrete organization -- since it is not officially designated as a security and trading company its much easier to be dodging laws and bureaucratic nonsense of the Grand Companies, when looking for the next big score.NOVA houses a wide array of skilled and multitalented individuals, from many different backgrounds. Pirates, adventurers, mercenaries, lost souls, war orphans and the best of the worst. Noble Vagrants takes on a number of different contracts. such as security, bounty hunting, treasure hunting and mercenary work.Operating with high moral standards and neutral good philosophy. NOVA is looking for that big score-- sharing its wealth with those who are less fortunate. As it has seen enough of lost fates, war torn families and the downtrodden-- NOVA doesn't shy away from helping those in need.
So long as the gil is good or given a reason heavy enough, it is not uncommon for the members to step outside the confines of the usual contracts, which may result in ever more interesting journeys....
