Noble Smart Drunk

This page content is purely related to role play mechanism and the wikia itself. Therefore this page probably is never really complete or finished and will undergo plenty of changes. Additionally in contrast to the overall encouraged writing in role play flavor, this page mostly directly addresses its topics. May the chronicler forgive us.

Thank you
So many thanks go to the Final Fantasy Wikia. Not only was it used for clarification but became somewhat the sole source for in-game background information on everything.

Name Origin
The noblesse of lady Ari Owens, which, by all means wasn't a damsel in distress, but rather disappointed by her noble life met in her spare time Talo'ta Daxe – thriving to be the smartest apprentice of thaumaturgy – who, once threatened by a sharp bladed axe of a drunkard named Avan Pentos, hid behind the lady's back.

The three inspired The Twelve to create a Linkshell named after their most prominent traits: Noble, Smart and Drunk.

Role Play Flavor
The majority (which is aimed to include 99.99% of all text) of all wikia entries should maintain a role play flavor. This text pretty much breaks the fourth wall by addressing the reader, knowing full well that a human is reading the text and not a fictional character.

But we want to refer to the The Guild's library and the seemingly artificial form of recordkeeping. Why? Because immersion is essential for roleplaying and keeping the suspension of disbelief alive as long as possible.

Important exception: prefer clarity over immersion. This wikia is meant to remain understandable not just readable.

The Basics
It was very hard to find a comprehensive overview of roleplaying in general. In absence of articles strictly related to Final Fantasy XIV the following links are taken from WoWWiki :
 * Basic information about roleplaying
 * Overwhelming but comprehensive article covering nearly every aspect of roleplaying. Some highlights:
 * The undesirable: a flawless, perfect character – Mary Sues,
 * How to interact with others and giving them a chance to respond – Expressing Yourself to the World
 * Your character MUST know less than the player – The fourth wall/meta-gaming
 * Distinguish between in character (IC) and out of character (OOC) – OOC Traps
 * Interesting side note – Miscellaneous starting with Elitist
 * Blog list of related articles. They are more or less bloated superficial articles but together they are really good and address various topics.

This Wikia
A quick list of things meant as a guideline when reading for the first time through this Wikia:
 * 1) A few rules are important, like them or leave: Twelve's Convergence of Interest.
 * 2) Highly opinionated article about how a single session can run.
 * 3) To get a better overall feeling, dive right this arc about a looming threat: Dawn of the Dalamud Shards
