The Drifting Man
About
The Venue
Seabird
A charming little outdoor cafe in the Mists, known for its award-winning cuisine. The partnership between the Seabird and the Drifting Man is mostly unknown, aside from the fact that the cafe supplies the lounge’s food. Some claim that the lounge runs out of the cafe’s basement, while others insist it sits directly beneath the Maelstrom’s guard tower.
The Lounge
Follow the alley behind the Seabird and it will lead you to a lounge deep beneath the bustling streets of the Mists and into the district’s underbelly. The Drifting Man is lauded for its unique La Noscean fusions with exotic, high-end imports. Rarely, however, does it open to the public, leaving many locals to question what goes on behind closed doors.
The Cartel
Founded and led by a very theatrical elezen, the cartel's success has been unprecedented. While the leader's brash and somewhat alarming openness about his dealings has drawn concern from the criminal community, the results have been hard to argue against.Through the leader's lifelong connections with Maelstrom-conscripted pirates, the cartel quickly gained access to Company ships and men, allowing them to control the seas around Vylbrand and secure a powerful stranglehold over Limsa's imports. Currently, the Drifting Man focuses on imported alcohol, aiming to be the city's sole source of imported wines, liquors, beers, and sakes.Despite the threat that the cartel poses to the city's local businesses, all public concerns have been waved off, dismissed, and silenced by acting law enforcement. While many see it as gross negligence on the Grand Company's part, the Maelstrom's inflated coffers would imply otherwise.

Application
Who are we?
The Drifting Man is a criminal cartel group based out of Limsa Lominsa whose money-making objective is to corner the Limsan market on liquor imports by any means. The acting cartel lord has seized control of the seas surrounding Vylbrand and has so far been extremely successful in his efforts. With such rapid success, word of the cartel is spreading throughout the underground, attracting all kinds of attention. Many outside of Vylbrand are seeking to partner with them, while those within are trying to get on their good side.Unfortunately, such rapid growth and attention comes with its drawbacks.Are you a good fit?
This is a small rp group. Fewer members means that each character gets more attention and consideration when crafting plots, but also that we expect you to be there for them! Events will fall on a weekly to biweekly (every other week) basis in order to advance plots, with 'jobs' often being delegated in the interim. Social rps can happen whenever, side jobs can be posted to or undertaken from the job board, and engaging other rp groups and communities will be a common theme.If you think this sounds like a good place to toss your OC, then fill out our application! You can work for us or against us. You can be a willing or unwilling member. Good guys, bad guys, and everything in between. Any questions can be directed to kingrhac on discord.
