We are a heavy-RP FC located on Mateus with an Eastern theme. However characters of all types are welcome. Foreigners even have the ability to undergo a ceremony, in time, to become regarded as blood family to the clan. This stems from the Clan’s history of accepting all into their ranks if proven worthy.
Our estate is located at Shirogane, Ward 14, Plot 7. The Carbuncle’s Cup cafe and bookshop is located in the Lavender Beds at Ward 4, Plot 4 and is open to the public on Thursdays at 7pm CST.

• Respect first. We’re all here to have a fun time, let’s make sure everyone feels welcome.
• Zero tolerance for bullying/harassment.
• Remember the line between you and your character and try to mitigate emotional ‘bleed.’ This can lead to misunderstandings.
• If you have a problem with another member, reach out and try to resolve it. Play nice. If this isn’t an option or one doesn’t feel comfortable, please contact leadership (pink and blue names in Discord) so we can help.
• If you have ideas/suggestions, feel free to float ideas to the FC leadership.
• Please remember to tag your alts in the FC short notes! Many of us have altisis and it helps everyone keep track of one another.
• Most of FC leadership are day workers and only free in evenings, leading to most of our events occurring at that time. In the meantime not all social events have to be arranged by officership! Go out and have a party night, a study session, or even a PvE splurge. Invite everyone to have some crazy good times!
• Respect first. We’re all here to have a fun time, let’s make sure everyone feels welcome. (Hey look, this is repeated twice, I wonder why!)
• Remember the line between you and your character and try to mitigate emotional ‘bleed.’ This can lead to misunderstandings. (Oh look, another repeat!)
• If there is an RP going on in an open space, be courteous enough to poke in a /tell or FC chat if it’s okay for others to enter. It may may seem finicky, but another presence could interrupt a specific scene.
• Not all characters are goody goody two-shoes and this is completely expected. However it’s a courtesy to check in with your partner if there’s any worry about character bleed affecting someone outside the scene
• We are a lore-adherent FC. Though there are parts of canon lore that leave vagueness and are open to interpretation, please be welcome to feedback.
• For anything involving healing, make sure coordination is done ahead of time between healer and patient. Some instances are life-changing arc for a character, let’s help folks make it go as planned.
• If you’re struggling to involve your character or have ideas for a personal arc, ask about to see who may be interested! If you wish for an officer to oversee events, we would love to assist where we can.
All events will be listed a week in advance in the #ooc_schedule page in the FC Discord. Updates and notices will be in the #ooc_notices channel.
Server events that we host will be in the #event-planning, if you’re interested in lending a hand.
TL:DR: If you have questions/comments/suggestions, always feel free to bring them up. If something’s broke, we can’t fix it if we don’t know.
MSQ: Our main story arc for the FC. This usually takes place over a few month’s time and consists of both combat and non-combat events.
Contracts: Posted on our Contract Board in Discord, these are open to any and everyone to post for any type of event. Usually these are limited to a certain number of people so a DM isn’t overwhelmed.
Server Events: This can include the Carbuncle’s Cup or any other holiday-themed things we do to promote the FC.
DISCIPLINE AND/OR REMOVAL FROM THE FC
• The FC operates on a ‘three strike’ policy except in extreme cases. You will get two warnings from an officer. A third strike constitutes the leadership convening to decide if it is time for a removal from the FC.
• Instant removal issues include harassment, unwanted advances IC or OoC, poaching attempts, or pressing for unwanted ERP/undesirable RP despite being told ‘no.’
• Issues that may cause officer intervention include misbehavior at public RP events (you represent the FC), uncorrectable attitudes that extend beyond your character (aka being difficult just to be difficult), and talk of sensitive issues in a public forum whether it’s FC chat or Discord. These are just a few historical items and don’t encompass every scenario.
• The examples above are not intended to be an exhaustive list and we reserve the right to add rules as necessary and as benefits the FC as a whole.
As I’ve stated before. We are here to have fun. Let’s treat each other with respect. If there are issues please bring them up. Officers are in regular contact with one another and we can choose how to help if it’s wanted. If there is a private issue you wish to keep with one of us, that can be done as well. This should be a fun safe place for all folks.
On that note…we are NOT an 18+ FC which means there is the possibility of minors within our Discord and FC. Keep that in mind. For those that enjoy ERP, you take it on at your own risk but ERP will not be tolerated in public FC spaces such as the estate, FC grounds, and the bookshop. Your private room is acceptable.
