The Underworld Auction is a secretive event offering those who possess unique and well-honed skills in their areas of expertise to be bid on for contracts. From assassins and spies to surgeons and alchemists, we are auctioning the unique services of various members of the underground community.

The second half of the event is dedicated to auctioning GM's to lead an event for high bidders and their friends, sold under the pretext of being a "tactical consultation."

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Livia#7728 over Discord. Additionally, this year we have a discord server for organization. (https://discord.gg/2rNUxVb)

4) Due to the nature of the event, we ask that all characters and players in attendance are adults. However, please note that adult content is not an element of this event.

5) Many of us play unkind characters, but we ask that players be mindful of their comments regarding participants. Ultimately, we want everyone to have a good time!

Information

Because this is a criminal event, we like to think information about it is very tightly controlled and limited to the Eorzean underworld. However, OOC, we're not looking to exclude anyone so please don't feel unwelcome if your character happens to be more moral in nature, just know that we're not seeking to do law enforcement RP at this event!

Additionally, this is a formal event and so we ask that attendees dress their best!

Application

To apply to be auctioned as an either an operative or tactician (GM), please complete the corresponding form(s).

AUCTIONEES

Our auctionees are divided into two groups: operatives and tacticians. The first half of the auction will focus on operatives. Both roles are auctioning a minimum of two hours of their time.

Both Operatives and Tacticians have limitations listed in their profiles. However, please exercise common sense in understanding that there are some subjects which are not listed which are still not alright to broach without OOC consent. The only limitations explicitly listed are ones which appear unique to the character. Nobody is obligated to RP content that makes them uncomfortable.

For a listing of our registered auctionees, please see below:

Operatives are selling the IC services of their character through the plot hook of a contract.

The second portion of the auction will focus on the tacticians.

Tacticians are selling the OOC services of the player in crafting a story for their winning bidders and friends to enjoy.

Operatives

Operatives offer a particular skill they are willing to contract out. They are considered experts in that particular task.

For a list of our registered skills specialists for auction, please see the listing via the star icon below

Tacticians

The second half of the auction will be dedicated to purchasing an OOC skillset under the guise of selling a "consultation with a tactician."

The "Tactician" is a player for hire to lead a story as a GM. They can either run a one-shot or custom tailored event for their winning bidders. These players will have profile pages listing their personal limitations.

This is ideal for players who want to enjoy a short story led by someone else.

Anyone who purchases a Tactician is welcome to request the GM play the role of an NPC.
