Welcome to Mythopoeia, Hydaelyn section!
Mythopoeia-Hydaelyn is the RP linkshell for Final Fantasy XIV, located on the Hyperion server. Mythopoeia is a free-form RP in that there is no over-arching story (most of the time) aside from the general game events and the intertwined lives of the member characters. Aside from RP, Mythopoeia is a social linkshell that also does events for its members.
Events follow exactly the 'official' year in Hydaelyn - at least for now. At 1.x version end, the year is 1573. 2.x year TBA.
To join, the character(s) you wish to join must be on the same server. Below are some pointers for joining and on being a member.
1) You must be literate to join. Your character's name has no requirements, although make sure to acknowledge that anything deviating from the typical racial names cannot be their real (birth) name. Also take a look at already established events in the Mytho-Hydaelyn story and check that your character's story doesn't conflict with anything - and that your character isn't 'god-mode'.
If you wish to have your character participate in canon quest lines, you must get approval of the linkshell. Final decision in cases of conflict rests with the officers.
2) Either contact a linkshell officer in the game - Sharcos Dea or Moonshade Butterfly are your best bets - or type up a short character bio/application according to the below model and post it as a response to this thread. Whichever method you choose, it's best to have that character fact sheet on the ready.
You may or may not get an immediate decision, depending on (but not limited to) if a member knows you already and the quality of your application. If your app gets denied, you are free to fix it and try again.
A) All members have the chance to create a biography/introduction page for each of their characters on Chrysalis. Likewise, should you want one, all members have the chance to have a blog for their main character and a common one for other characters.
B) RP happens. In this forum, in the blogs, in linkshell and its events. Do note, however, that not all linkshell chatter and not all linkshell events are RP-centric.
