OOC Rules / Information


General information

The Gnatty Spider is a Free Company formed with the goal of creating an environment for both RP and PvE. We like to keep both actives even. Our RPs tend to be very story driven, with each session having a connected plot.

At the Gnatty Spider, we value friendship and being inclusive! To help that, we plan on keeping our group fairly small. We want to foster a fun RP and PvE environment where everyone feels as though they are apart of something important. We are looking for people who care more about each individual person as friends, rather then simply numbers. We offer genuine opportunity for making friends past the game itself, a LGBTQ+ environment, a medium house in Shirogane, map nights, old/new content runs for mounts and glam, and light to medium RP!

Our current RP days are typically on Sunday's and Monday's but can also be weekends as well. Most events start around 7/8 PM EST, and run for a few hours. But we are always welcome to change days / times based on who is available when.

If you are interested in being apart of the company as an associate or affiliated, feel free to still apply but be sure to check the option.

Recruitment: OPEN


About our RP / What we expect

Themes: Moral ambiguity / Knowledge seekers / Occult dealings / Debt Collection / Study & development of technology / Risky missions & tasks / Story driven RP

RP Intensity: Light - Medium

Alignment: True / Chaotic neutral

Lore Status: Friendly / Abiding (though we aren't strict and have instances of bending lore for creativity!)

Looking for: Characters from all backgrounds with questionable morals either good, evil, or neutral!

Gnatty Spider does not allow any type of cheating / god-modding / unexplainable character traits & types in RP. We like our characters to be realistic in our setting. If you have questions or concerns about this, please don't be afraid to ask!

We expect you to have some experience with roleplaying, if you don't let whoever contacts you about joining know so we can keep it in mind. We expect you to understand the difference between IC and OOC interaction. We enjoy heavy story driven RP's so it's important that you have the time to set aside to join them. Our core group is used to Para-RP, but all types are welcome as long as you are patient. In the end, we do RP for fun as it should be.

Because we are true/chaotic neutral, there will be questionable themes in our RP that may be darker than usual. If you aren't comfortable with this, let someone know. We also accept all types of characters from different aspects of life, as long as they understand we are purely a neutral company IC and do everything for the sake of furthering the companies profit.

Depending on how much you participate, you will gain more trust with the group; and thus will be offered further advancement and more difficult jobs. It will also be possible for you to eventually lead your own tasks or create specific RP arcs for your character that the entire company will join.

Gnatty Spider's story

Under the current leadership of an Aura woman named Batachikhan Dalamiq, the company shakes off it's rust and begins to move forward in a new direction. With the previous leader up and leaving with only a letter to guide the current members; they track down Batachikhan who, coupled with amnesia, has little purpose. It didn't take much convincing for her to take on the role of leader. From the Steppe, Batachikhan had little knowledge of the rest of the world but she has taken hold of the opportunity that has been given to her. She would make this company her own; with a goal to bring Gnatty Spider the fame, or infamy, it deserved.


OOC Rules

RespectTreat everyone how you wish to be treated. Understand people's boundaries and what may be fine for you may make someone else uncomfortable.
BehaviorJust be a decent person. No slurs against any type of people or offensive jokes.
Activity & EventsBe active in the discord and in game, help out, come to events when we have them. If you are going to be inactive for a certain amount of time or are feeling concerned about anything, please let us know so we can figure out how to make things better together. If we have to continually talk about activity then you may be asked to leave.
18+If you are under 18, please don't apply.
DramaThe cursed word. We don't want it, you don't want it. And if you DO want it then we probably don't want you. If there's a problem, talk about it. Be honest with us, if something comes up between you and someone else try to problem solve. If you don't know what to do, talk to an Admin. We are all here to help. Don't be afraid to talk to any of us!


IC Rules

DisruptionsDon't run around wildy or kills things during RP. Unless it's needed for the time, when we are IC, we are IC.
FantasiaChanging your characters race/gender is fine but let us know BEFORE you do it, and have an explanation for it IC. Please try to keep from using it often, as it becomes difficult to RP with your character if they are constantly changing.
ConsistencyHave a fleshed out character when you apply. Expect them to grow with us and evolve but don't constantly be changing things about them like their personality or backstory. We understand that you may want something different, but for the sake of RP if you have concerns then talk to us about it!
Combat & RollsWe use in game rolls! It's up to the DM to decide if any additions can be added during rolls. We like to make sure most people are on an even playing field, but Admin characters will always have an edge in combat.
ERPGo ham. But go ham not in public. Please.
Interactions outside of the FCIf you have any disagreements with anyone outside the FC, or some kind of drama please don't bring it into the FC. We would also like to keep from public disputes. If anything happens that you aren't sure about, be sure to mention it!
