FAQ

OOC Stuff:
What is this nonsense?
This is Adventures of Eorzea! It's a Dressing Room for Final Fantasy XIV - because a lot of us are on different servers/time zones, we can't really roleplay there together. This is a casual place with planned events and light story, which allows anything. Canon characters, your very own adventurer, or even alternate universe characters!
Doubles are more then allowed - they're encouraged.
 
Can I bring in characters from another world?
No, sorry. This is for Eorzean characters only - those from Final Fantasy XIV. (There may be events where characters from other worlds are let in.) If a character has appeared in FFXIV, however, they're allowed. (Yes, this includes Lightning and Shantotto.)
 
How do I tag?
With your journal name. If there's a need later, I'll make a more complex tagging system.
 
Arrival Stuff:
How does my character arrive? What will they notice?
It seems the arrival point is right outside Dragonhead, in Coerthas. I hope you like snow! Later on, you'll be able to choose different arrival places.
Those who are brought in also have an odd mark on the palm of one of their hands. And those who didn't have the Echo before can still understand all languages.
Your character also got a new Link Pearl, which keeps them connected to the 'Network'. They can still make private posts, but this Link Pearl can also record conversations, along with simply being a phone.
 
What can my character bring with them?
Anything on them, in their inventory. Sorry, but it seems retainers don't make their way though worlds easily. (This includes your mounts and minions, though, including your Chocobo.)

Where can my character stay?
There is one house in each of the residential areas, reserved for these newcomers. See more info on the non-canon settings page.
 
World Stuff:
What are the differences in this world from canon?
Well, Dalamud is back in the skies - Bahamut sealed once more. And if your character can feel/see it, there's a huge aetheric imbalance in the air, flowing everywhere. If you ask normal NPCs about this, though, they won't give straight answers.
 
What about NPCs?
This worlds' versions of the NPCs seem to only be around when you don't need them to be - if you're going to ask them why you're here, they're gone. But if you need a quest, they're right back there.
If you need them for a post, though - just send me a quick PM. They may be used for event silliness later on. (Though if it's something simple like complaining about Minfilia calling all though the night asking for stuff, that should be fine.)

How is death handled?
In order to discourage killing otherworlders, every time somebody kills one, or assists in killing one, they will feel half as strong as they did before - and the mark on their palm will also feel like it's burning. They will regain their strength over a week - but this debuff stacks, and also stacks if you kill the same person more then once.
 
Characters also come back to life post-death anytime between two days and a week, returning to their home Aetherite.
