a roleplay community

Born from the ash,
Hearts forever burning,
Mourn not the past,
In a future ever turning.

Are you a soul without a purpose? A skillful mercenary without cause?
Mayhap someone who is struggling with something out of their control?
We are here to help you find your path.
Covenant lives by honor and a single oath or pact.
This pact is what binds us as brothers, sisters and family.
With the support of our allies, we fight to help all those striving for the betterment of the star.
With a lounge and bathhouse that serve as a front,
Covenant operates discreetly from Ishgard.
(Balmung, Plot 5, Ward 6, Empyreum)
With four different circles or branches, and their own rankings amongst them.
Without reward, without fame, we stand for those who can otherwise not stand and light a path for those in the darkest of the seven hells.

THE PACT

By the stars above and the shadows below,
I swear upon the breath that gives me life,
To stand as shield and silent sentinel.
A warden of the light, unseen, unknown.I shall guard the innocent, though they know me not,
And bear their burdens where none may see.
I walk the line where darkness trembles,
Holding fast the flame that must not falter.Truth shall be my compass,
Yet I shall not speak it where it wounds more than it heals.
For silence too can be a mercy.No secret shall escape my lips,
No name betrayed, no trust undone.
For in the silence between words,
I forge the vow that binds me still.Let my presence be the whisper in the storm,
My purpose carved in unseen stone.
I do not seek glory nor power.
Only the light, and the will to preserve it.So long as I draw breath,
and the stars light the night.
This oath I carry.
This pact eternal.

Circle of ShadowsHidden from even the eye of our internal ranks, the circle of shadow ensures that the secrets of the Covenant and the ones they help are kept safe.
Never disclosing their position to anyone, including high ranking officials of the Covenant, they seek to make sure that all discreet matters remain in shadow.Circle of EnlightenmentMade of up of mostly Sharlean scholars engineers and alchemists, this branch of the Covenant unmasks needed truths and helps those unlearned to aspire for more.
With a study serving as home to those who wish to learn more of magick and engineering, this circle sets itself apart as a source of knowledge and understanding.Circle of wardensGuarding against those who would seek to endanger the lives within the Covenant. The Circle of wardens are an elite force of protectors that step into the front lines of battle to serve as shield to their allies.Circle of MendingFor those who are harmed, the circle of mending does it's utmost to help in the rejuvenation and rehabilitation of the mental and physical .
With ones trained in triage and magics.
These men and woman give their all for the wellbeing of others.

Strikes and Bans
Covenant operates on a three strike system. On the third strike you will be removed without appeal.
Strikes can be forgiven after a month of good activity in the community.
Strikes are not given easily. So getting three is not easily achieved.Standards::
No Discrimination: (This does not need to be elaborated on)Respect others boundaries. No means no. Consent is keyRespect your fellow fc members.
All members in the fc are equal, and should be treated as such.No ERP involving underage characters.Covenant is lore compliant not lore strict. This means that if a character can (within reason) exist in the universe, we encourage our members to be creative. All the same, we do not accept warrior of light characters, and pre established characters such as scions like y'shtola. Same goes for pre established characters from other universes.Treat all players and their creations with respect.RulesDo not dictate how others should or shouldn't RP. Only exception to this is if a character is doing something nsfw on or with a canonically underage character or is engaging in forms of beastiality (If you see this, report it to a officer immediately).Do not infantilize characters that are small when someone is trying to portray them as an adult.
On the other side of the coin, if your character is wearing a bib and has a pacifier in their mouth, rightfully so your character is going to get child coded.If RP is taking place, all members present must be aware of and comfortable with the subject.If it is a venue night and you are not comfortable with the subject of a roleplay, remove yourself from the scene OOC.Members reserve the right to disengage in any roleplay as they see fit. No one is obligated to roleplay with you.If you you report another member for inappropriate behavior, have receipts. If you accuse someone of something and you have no proof it will be regarded as slander.THE DNE LIST::
The DNE or Do not engage list is for things that may bother someone but are not necessarily triggers. If you have certain topics that bother you or simply make you uncomfy, please report them to an officer.The Trigger List
Any triggering topics need to be discussed OOC prior to a roleplay starting.If you are triggered by something in the fc and do not state it as a trigger before an issue arises, no one except yourself will be held accountable. (Let officers know of your current triggers.)
Do not weaponize the trigger list to stop people from doing something that only makes you uncomfy (Triggers are serious and not to be used for every thing that you just don't like. In this case you would report it as a DNE listing instead.)Do not discuss or engage in topics on the trigger list.
Do not ask for permission to discuss triggers.
These are simply topics to be avoided.Any violations of the previously stated rules and standards will give you a strike.
