≡Our Lore≡

Tucked away in the back alleys of Ul'dah, just before the Pearl Road ends, lies The Arbors Keep- a small bar that serves anyone with the right amount of coin. The space is designed for comfort, giving off the image of a small rogues den equipped with plush carpets, comfy couches and plenty of ale.
The outside is easily over looked- it appears to merely be a storage unit- but with the right password and by knowing the right people- access isn't hard to achieve.
(For IC Purposes the bar is located in a rather shady part of the Ul'dah alley ways- please come visit!)

-CiganoFarhaust-

Head Chef, Fighter
Male | Miqo'te | 5'6"

Former UI Cup Champion

Free as the wind yet reliable to a fault, Cigano is a devoted worker of the keep and easily able to switch from helping the servers to tossing out misbehaving patrons. Outside of work this Miqo'te enjoys fighting for sport and throwing himself into most any competition he can find. Some would say his prideful behavior is all part of his charm, others that he must have a death wish and is full of crap. Nevertheless, Cigano has a strong work ethic so no matter what he does, where he goes, or how minor the task one can be certain that he will be putting in 110% as long as hes fired up for it!

Everything is free OOC and any food/drink trades are all only done for in character emersion ^^ If you would like to tip please do but it is by no means required!2. Be respectful;; Its ok to get a bit rowdy (this IS a shady bar) but we ask that you refrain from things like- setting the bar on fire, destroying the interior, summoning voidsent for your blood cult- things that can cause irreversible damage and may interrupt other patrons enjoyment. If you wanted to do something but weren't sure if it was ok- feel free to send any worker a tell for clarification! (minor bar brawls are totally ok as long as no limbs are lost! although you will risk being throw out that night by a bouncer ic if it gets too hectic.)3. Separate Chatter;; Please be sure to do rp basics such as adding quotation marks when your character is speaking: "I would like water please", and adding parentheses or brackets of some kind to indicate ooc chatter: (No way!), [Ew!], {Cool!}, ((Whaaa?)) this is mostly so the staff can tell the text apart!4. Three strikes you're out;; If a worker asks you to stop doing something it will always come in the form of an OOC tell- they will give you a warning and if you ignore this and continue to be disrespectful then we reserve the right to kick you out. Depending on the on the severity of the action we also reserve the right to ban you from the establishment.

《Guide:》

__Getting started;;
To view the 'Bounty Board' channel we ask that everyone first goes to [Whatever channel that is gonna be] and takes the 'Bounty Hunter' role. Next you need to create a bounty hunter profile! We request you follow the pinned formatting before posting the finished product under "Hunter-Profiles". Please keep in mind that each bounty hunter starts out as a "C Rank Hunter", and has the potential to level up to "S Rank Hunter" by accepting and completing bounty's when they are posted!__Running a Bounty;;
Bounties are posted on open bar nights (Every other Thursday) and are expected to be completed by the next open bar night giving you two weeks to run your quest! These mini adventures are made for personal use and will NOT be DMed by anyone in the staff. You may complete these however you wish, the choice is yours! There is no wrong way to go about it! We only ask that you follow these simple instructions:
1. Survey the goods;; Go to the bounty board and choose a bounty.2. Accept a bounty;; Click the button at the bottom to accept the quest. Your name will appear on an 'accepted' list. If you have friends that also wish to participate in this quest then have them click as well so they wont miss out on the experience!3. Run your quest;; There's no wrong way to do it! Ideas: DM an event, write up a google doc of how your character single handily completed the mission, set up an RP with some friends centered around the task and see where it goes etc...4. Mission Complete;; Once you've finished take a screenshot with your party (or of yourself) and post it to the "Completed-Bounties" channel!5. PROFIT;; While there is no In Game or IRL pay out you WILL get rewarded with experience and can rank up in the hunter section! There is also a leader board that will update based on your rank and quests completed!

《Common questions:》

➤"I want to run a bounty but I don't want to DM it... can a staff member do it for me?"
That is entirely dependent on the staff member. No one that works for The Arbors Keep is required to DM an event and most are too busy during the week or active with their own RP. That being said asking for tips and tricks, further clarification, or other idea's is always welcome and will never be turned down!➤"Someone else has already reacted to this Bounty- can I still take it?"
Yes you can! In fact please do! Every bounty is merely a prompt and can be played out totally differently depending on who accepted and what RP they plan to do with it!➤"Do I get REAL gil for this?!"
Sadly no- The Arbors Keep is a free RP bar that was set up for player experience and while we would LOVE to have enough Gil to give everyone bounty rewards we just don't have that in our budget.
