Okay guys. After a bit of thinking. I am going to try and open my Final Fantasy site! However, I do need some staff. It is a daunting project to work on alone. And I want to see this thrive, and I feel if I do this all alone I will get overwhelmed. So if you're interested, please shoot me a PM or message me on Discord (nightbloom#8636)!

Esuna is an original fantasy roleplaying adventure with heavy inspiration from Final Fantasy: XIV, Final Fantasy: Explorers, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Final Fantasy: Tactics. And probably more. Anything Final Fantasy to be honest. It has been a WIP for about six years now, and it hasn't opened because I was in college dealing with heavy coursework, but then after I graduated, I got focused on my career. However, with the quarantine and stay-at-home in place, I find myself struggling for things to do sometimes. Now's a good a time as ever to try and see this thing through!

Premise
A long, long time ago, four dieties created the world of Terra. One diety in particular was jealous of their sibling's popularity and used her powers to stir the pot. She cast a terrible myst called Miasma into the world and laughed as its inhabitants fought to find ways to survive. The other three dieties banded together to try and come up with a solution to protect their precious creatures; and so, Grand Crystals were formed which created strong barriers that blocked the Miasma from spreading. Great empires were built surrounding the three Grand Crystals that were created. Life was good, and empires flourished. There was never a need to explore any more, and the fear of miasma kept them inside. However, the militant empire Gartia began to use their crystal's power to experiment with different magiteks... They realized that, slowly, their crystal's power was beginning to wane. They were the first to venture outside their safe haven. Not wanting to be left behind, the benevolent empire of Lillium also gathered groups to head out. A sort of truce was made when the first Grand Crystal was found. The adventurers who left were now part of an Adventurer's Guild, one dedicated to expanding the new world in peace. But peace does not last forever...

In the newly discovered land of Amostra, what will your role be? An adventurer seeking fame? A gatherer wanting to find the newest flora and fauna? Anything can happen.

Some Tidbits

• Activity will be pretty lax, save for official boss battles. I don't want them to take months and I don't want them to grow stale so those will have requirements but other than that, very lax!
• FC's will be of anime/manga nature. Though if you have a XIV character, feel free to use them! Gpose and mods can produce lovely images so feel free to use them. That being said, there are no official races on the site... However, that may change?? I am not sure if leaving it so open will be a good idea, but I'd love for any sort of race to be made though I know finding certain FC's for some races will be hard. The only issue is with the graphics that are required in the mini-profile and apps and stuff, but I guess if the placeholders are of good quality images, it'd be admissable. IDK! Anyone have any suggestions?
• While combat will be a focus of the site (and I have an entire system made for that, too), there are opportunities to make a more relaxed character. Much like in FFXIV, there are Disciples of War/Magic who do the dirty work of killing monsters, but then there are also Disciples of Hand/Land who craft and gather and can help build up the town and give goodies to their fellow comrades.
  
  However, the system for the DoH/L are kind of clunky and I was thinking about reworking them. The way it is now, those members can go on "quests" to gather and craft. A gatherer can gather items once per day in a personal thread, and then however many times they want to in a normal quest thread. Crafters can obtain items by trading with others or even gathering themselves (since I am allowing dual-classing). Then its up to the user's imagination to craft. Got a bunch of sticks and twine? Make a fishing pole. Once the recipe is successful, they don't need to make a whole separate thread to gather those materials again. It can make the "grind" of getting materials a whole lot smoother since technically, they'd only need to do it once. Though maybe with special items, they'd need to gather those each time for recipes... Hm. Like I said, I could make a lot of changes to this.
• The world is very malleable. I even am allowing an item in the shop that once purchased, a member can submit their own "area" to add to the site's lore! Amostra is wholly undiscovered save for some grassy plains surrounding its small main city. There could be so much more to discover and I'd love to have members be involved in that too.
• To explain the combat system a bit, I am using ranks. So rank D is the weakest and it goes to S. To rank up, one must purchase a "voucher" from the store using Gil as the site's currency. One must have the appropriate voucher in order to upgrade their weapons/armor. So for instance, to even have access to Rank C weapons/armor, you must first purchase a Rank C voucher. There are certain "actions" you can do in posts, and things such as status effects will be determined by dice rolls. Easy peasy, even means success, odd means no. Or whatever the DM wants.
• There will be many boss battles, and even some against beloved Final Fantasy bosses! Some of the cities might get raided, but there will also be some relaxed events to participate in as well!
• Right now, it is hosted on Proboards however! I have been given permission from Leap to transfer the skin she made me over to jcink. So if anyone wants to help me do that, then I'll totally host on jcink!

What I Am Looking For

• A Co-Admin to help keep things running smooth if ever I need a break or cannot get to the computer for whatever reason. They'll also have control over most if not everything that I can do. Make events, accept bios, lead quests, make interesting items/accessories for prizes, advertise, help keep things moving along, be active and nice in the Discord. Y'know, basically a co-captain. Should be pretty self-explanatory.
• Dungeon Masters will solely be in charge of making quests, creating items (with my approval) for the prizes and whatnot.
• Event Planners will help think of fun events and plot changes to help move the site along.
• Advertising Mod will be in charge of sorting ads and also posting our ad on sites. This can be a paid position since I know advertising can be tedious. IC currency of course! Though that being said, Advertising is a way for anyone to earn Gil, but it is not required all of the time like an Advertising Mod might.

I ah... I can't really think of anything else I'd like to add. If you have any questions, just ask them here or feel free to shoot me a PM or Discord message (again, Discord user is nightbloom#8636)!

PS: The image does lead to the site. Feel free to poke around and read everything if you want to get a better feel for it all. It is NOT OPEN though, so if you join and post an app, nothing will be done yet lol!
