Joining as a Commander ICly won't elevate you to a position of OOC leadership over the community at large.Įvery Levy is lead by one Commander, who is the highest ranking officer in the Levy. NOTE: Sylb is the sole leader of the Maelstrom Command RP Community OOCly. If you'd like to play at this rank, we ask that you create an RP event for the LS/FC about once every month, and be available to ICly take charge of situations and give IC orders at events that occur in the day-to-day. Privateers, Mealvaan's Gate, Foreign Levy.Info about which uniform to wear will be found in the event details in our Discord #event-postings channel. Some require Grand Company Seals, some require crafted items that will need to be dyed, and some require dungeon drops. There are 3 uniforms that you will be responsible for acquiring for your character. All ICly Ranked Lieutenants, Captains, and Elites are still required to wear the same plain old dress and field gear outlined in the Uniform Requirements below.Īlso keep in mind that all characters that are Lieutenant rank or higher will be required to create and run RP events for the LinkShell community, whereas creating & running events for lower IC ranking characters is optional. If you're hoping to be a Lieutenant, Captain, or Elite ICly so that you can wear the coat/gear ICly, know that we treat the Lieutenant and Captain coats, and all Elite gear, as "fancy military dress wear" that personnel can wear to special events regardless of their IC rank. Here in FLEET, we adhere to the original Maelstrom lore regarding ranks which differs from the newer in-game Grand Company Barracks mechanic that was introduced. That being said, we do have a leadership team who's in charge of steering the ship and taking care of administrative stuff:

We love collaborating: planning events together, taking turns DMing, finding ways to tie our character's backstories together, etc.! Our focus as a community is to help each other move the personal stories of our individual characters forward using the backdrop of Limsan lore and a loose military structure as a force that helps drive it all forward. We are a largely community-run group, meaning that the members are given as much creative power as they would like in creating events and deciding what direction we would like to go as a group ICly. In fact, we only have an FC for the sake of having a themed house, and we don't use FC chat in-game at all. We are a Discord and LinkShell focused group, meaning that we don't require folks to join the FC in order to be considered a fully-fledged member of the community. Need a hand with some character development? Cool! Check out Sounsyy's extensive lore posts for all things Limsa: Their headquarters is stationed in the Mist (Ward 7, Plot 2, Balmung). So, in the meantime, the 1-9 serves as a land-based force with a tendency to accept some of the Maelstrom's more unusual missions, many of which take them outside of strictly La Noscean territories. But, resources are slim, and the Maelstrom is still rebuilding its naval fleet, most of which was destroyed during the Calamity. It's primarily a land-based Levy with the intention to become the first fully operational Airship Levy of the Maelstrom. The Maelstrom's 1st Squadron, 9th Levy (AKA, the 1-9) is a headcanon newly formed branch of the Maelstrom, led by Storm Commander Sylbfohc Ostulmsyn. Overall, they're an organized military group, with a clear rank and uniform hierarchy, that operates in a slightly more chaotic good/chaotic neutral alignment than similar groups. When Merlwyb won the most recent Trident competition, declared martial law, and essentially established herself as the permanent leader of the Limsan Navy, many former Knights of the Barracuda made the switch to the newly reestablished Grand Company of Limsa Lominsa (the Maelstrom). In a nutshell, the Maelstrom is comprised of former pirate crews, each whom had agreed to serve whichever Admiral might be sitting in Limsa's high seat at the time. Though we are a military group, our IC flavor is a little bit different than your typical military setup.
