About ICON

Lore-forward, character-driven roleplay with collaborative structure.

What ICON Is (IC)

ICON, the Collegium of Orders & Nations, is a cross-border institution designed to turn distance into connection. Where others see borders and grudges, we see routes, agreements, and opportunities to do better by doing the work.

  • Coalition of specialists: negotiators, guards, couriers, artisans, scholars, quartermasters.
  • Trade, craft, diplomacy, and service—whether in halls, on the road, or in the inconvenient middle of nowhere.
  • A network with room for characters building something larger than themselves.

OOC Overview

ICON is collaborative writing focused on grounded motivations, believable constraints, and consequences that feel earned—without demanding novel-length posts.

  • Collaborative play: strong choices; we build with you, not against you.
  • Consent-first: player comfort beats “realism” every time.
  • Consistency over intensity: communicate if you’ll be away.
  • Mature themes may appear: politics/violence/hardship—never misery for its own sake.

Our Roleplay

From walk-ups to scheduled arcs, with standards that protect immersion.

Community Story Arc RP

ICON’s sanctioned, evolving narrative. Story Arc play maintains coherence with established rules, tone, and lore.

Member Story RP

Community-endorsed missions and gatherings—less formal, while honoring continuity (with flexibility set by the host).

Personal RP

Private/public scenes beyond ICON’s shared narrative. Alternate concepts are welcome—kept distinct from ICON canon.

The Higher Standard

  • Keep IC & OOC separate.
  • Post in third person.
  • No god-moding or metagaming.
  • Accept consequences of roleplay.
  • Get OOC consent when needed.
  • Avoid shorthand/L33T; limit OOC chatter in public channels.
  • No multiverse / multi-timeline in shared ICON canon.

ICON Story System (Playtest)

A custom system based on Mind’s Eye Theatre – Vampire: The Masquerade (First Edition), adapted for FFXIV roleplay. It is currently in playtest and refined through live scenes and feedback.

Coming soon: progression designed to keep mechanics from interrupting scenes.

Rules & Expectations

Condensed, readable, and easy to enforce.

Onboarding: Discord required, OOC voice interview (mic expected), 4-week probation. Medium-to-heavy RP.

Lore policy: Story Arc and FC Member Story RP are strictly lore-adherent. Alternate concepts stay separate from ICON canon.

Standards: No RL drama/hate speech. Staff mediation encouraged. “Fight Club” exists, but is not discussed publicly.

Onboarding: Discord required. Story Arc players must have a character sheet (staff can assist).

Lore policy: Story Arc is lore-adherent. Member stories may be flexible; lore-breaking requires opt-in.

Standards: Respect others, avoid OOC drama, constructive feedback welcome, mature themes may appear.

Short version: Play nice. Keep channels clean. Profile name should be your character’s in-game name only.

Content policy: Adult language allowed; images remain SFW. Follow Discord ToS.

AI-art friendly: Post content in the appropriate AI/screenshot categories.

Short version: You are already special.

Barred from FC membership: gods/demi-gods/primals; voidsent/possessed; ERP-focused concepts; WoLs; etc.

Note: Lalafell welcome, but “creepy behavior” is not tolerated.

Orders & Nations

Roles designed to generate hooks, conflict, and meaningful service RP.

Ambassadors & Nobles

Salons, favors, introductions—reputation war by whispers and endorsements.

Artisans

Ceremonial regalia, restorations, field tools, workshops, rival showcases.

The Courts

Advocacy, precedent duels, forged papers, settlements written to survive bad faith.

Craftsmen & Tradesmen

Procurement and logistics—contracts, bids, disputes, routes and markets.

Scholastic & Clergy

Rites, counsel, mediation—treaties, custom, lineage, relic provenance.

Swordsmen

Escort, drill, recoveries, sabotage response—handled with consent and care.

“Yes, and…”

Accept the offer, then build forward.

Short Version

“Yes, and…” means you accept what your scene partner has established (“Yes”), then add something that moves the scene forward (“And”). Don’t negate the shared reality—build on it, contribute stakes, and leave room for your partner to act.

Blocking (Poor)

A: “Captain, the ship is sinking!”

B: “No it isn’t.”

Reality breaks. Scene dies.

Yes, and… (Good)

A: “Captain, the ship is sinking!”

B: “Yes, and I told you we shouldn’t have let the octopus drive.”

Reality holds. Scene expands.
