VENUE RULES.

Be sure to adhere to the venue rules; failure to comply can result in a temporary suspension from the bar and/or a permanent ban.

  • First and foremost: this is an 18+ venue. While we do not offer 18+ services, this space was made to cater to adults, both IC and OOC.

  • There is a strict no tolerance policy for: bigotry (homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc.) bullying, witchhunting, etc. There are real people behind these characters, and you will be expected to show common decency and respect OOCly to staff and other patrons.

  • Please refrain from using /shout or /yell channels, and spamming emotes. This is strictly for the owner/staff for important announcements; please do not spam emotes or be a general nuisance.

  • Please keep your weapons, minions, etc, sheathed & hidden. Weapons are NOT permitted; if you have them visible on your character, you will be asked to remove them.

  • Do NOT advertise other venues in the bar during bar hours. This is just a common etiquette; the bar is not a place to openly advertise your own venue. There are sections in the FC discord for venue/event advertising.

    This also includes party finders for in-game content and/or independent RP- related services.

  • Regarding the public syncshell Due to popular demand, there is now a public syncshell! The syncshell password will be changed every opening to maintain security, and cleared upon the bar's closing for the evening. It is your responsibility to keep up to date with syncshell information changes in order to maintain access. Syncshell information & password is in the venue discord.

  • Character Tags: If you're currently RPing/In-Character in the venue, we ask that you have your RP tag enabled in-game. This makes staff/guest interactions easier; wallflowers, OOC "people watching", etc, are more than welcome, just please keep OOC speech in tells as to preserve immersion.

BEFORE VISITING

Below is a simple outline on what to expect when visiting The Rookery; please be sure to read before visiting, and reach out to the owner if you have any questions or concerns.

  • In-Character Actions have In-Character Consequences. You're free to RP your character if you so choose, but understand that IC behavior WILL be met with IC consequences. (i.e. starting bar fights, fighting with patrons/staff, etc).

  • There is a very mild dress-code in place. Please dress appropriately for the bar; you can wear whatever you wish (so long as it isn't offensive), but please cover genitalia, nipples, etc. (this will mostly apply if you're paired on mare, and/or/if we make a public syncshell).

    We do, however, recommend casual attire if you're unsure of an outfit!

  • Eyes and Ears Are Everywhere. This is an open but tightly-knit space, privacy is VERY difficult to maintain in conversation. Therefore, if your character says it in the open, and a player can see it in their chat box, it is considered fair game for anyone in the bar to respond In-Character.

    If you truly want a "whisper" to stay private? Send it in tells.

  • Staff Assistance Need help/assistance from someone on staff? Simply look for the "melding materia" tag; we ask that any guests keep this tag off to avoid confusion.

  • There is absolutely no explicit/lewd behavior permitted on the premises. This is not an ERP venue, do not treat it like one. Please keep lewd/explicit behavior in tells, and do not ERP in the bar. Mild spice is okay, horny/explicit is not.

  • This is an RP hub, not an IRL establishment. The bar is a means to meet other people, new and friends, therefor, you are responsible for taking initiative if you want RP, this includes with staff (beyond drink orders).

  • This is a no gil establishment. We use RP gil / items in the bar; prices listed are simply for vanity. Any tips given are always kept and/or dispersed among staff!

  • Private Rooms are not a part of the venue. Please respect the owners of the rooms by keeping out if they are unlocked.

  • This is a small venue; patience is needed. Since the venue is a curated space, we do not employ/have much staff on each night. If we do get busy, we ask that you be patient if we do not get replies or orders out right away.

Make sure to join the discord to keep up with any potential rule changes, as well as any updated info regarding "The Rookery"!


STAFF.

A listing of current staff. If there is ever any issues, please reach out to them, management, or the owner!

Eliceyn "Ellie" Birch

role | Owner / Bartender

"Don't make me wonder if you're drunk or just stupid, and we'll get along just fine."


The owner, there's not much else to be said.

Possessing biting wit and humor, Ellie (when in good spirits) can bring delight to any dreary room. Seemingly all smiles and humor, there's more beneath it all for the observant and patient.
Make no mistake: despite her spirited nature, she suffers no foolishness in her establishment, and will not hesitate to let Yatari do what they do best if you test your luck.


Yatari Ura

role | Manager / "All Rounder"

"Oy am heah t' poah yah dreenks nawt be hahrahssed weeth shiieh' attempts at fluhtin."


A war vet with magitek arms, a curse word ridden vocabulary, and a short fuse. They sling a good drink and will entertain small talk; though keep the baseless flirtation directed elsewhere. They'll swing first, promise.Mind your manners lest you find your arse out on the street.
