OOC VENUE RULES.
The venue at all times is 18+. This extends to both writers/the characters they play. Nightshade is a gritty criminal environment and deals in themes that can be considered darker and/or potentially triggering to some, and definitely not appropriate for anyone underage.We prefer a lack of bleed between IC/OOC in our joint writing adventures. Everyone is here for a good time, not for excess drama and obnoxious shenanigans.Hate-speech, harassment, and everything that can or could fall under those categories aren't tolerated. Keep your shit-talk IC, because the only card-carrying bully we have on the premises is Xyphris.The pit uses Grindstone rules. Both parties roll for initiative. The higher roll goes first.
Post attack - roll.
Second party rolls to defend.
Higher roll determines hit or miss. Second party posts accordingly.
Both roll again. Etc.
Three hits signifies a win.Some fights are freeform but require permission/notice to a staff member ahead of time. These fights are restricted to a 30-minute time limit.Fights can be scheduled ahead of time with a staff member through our Discord, or on open nights in-game through a staff member. Spots are limited, so get with one of us quick!
IC CAGE RULES.
No maiming/dismemberment.
No genital mutilation of any kind. Yes, it needs to be said.
No murder.
All fighting is to be done within the cage. Anything attempted outside of it will probably get you maimed by the security team.
The cage itself is WARDED. Nothing harmful can get in, nothing harmful can get out. Don't ask how we did it, just accept that we did and stop jumping every time you hear an explosion. Jeez.
OTHER REQUESTS!
Staff will have the Looking to Meld tag on.
Staff are more than welcome to tell you to get out.
If you sign up for a fight, please be present when it's your turn. Leaving, going outside, getting distracted crocheting your gramma's next sweater, all of these cause delays at an already-heavily populated, time-constrained venue! We'd like to keep the ball rolling so that things stay smooth and everyone gets their time in the
hellcagespotlight.Everybody's special, but you're not Goku. Please respect your fellow RPer in the cage.
ACCEPTABLE CHARACTERS.
Don't be a kid. Please. Please please. Pretty please with sugar on top. Thanks.
Nightshade.

THE CENTERSTAGE.
Every Sunday night like clockwork, the masses gather around the pit to observe a bloodbath with no holds barred. There is only but one rule in this establishment: no death.Each match concludes with one victor, and that victor walks home with the spoils befitting of a warrior: Two hundred thousand gil pieces.While the combatants are testing their mettle in the pit, this speakeasy is bustling with trade and shady business deals in the dim-lit corners of this establishment. Both the upperclassmen and lowerclassmen find themselves stalking the same avenues in this local hub, finding common ground where it's least expected.
IN CONCLUSION:
Nightshade is home to many degenerates and business-oriented minds, a playground for anyone daring enough to use it. Did we mention the drinks are free?Come, step inside and leave your morality at the door.

DON'T BE CREEPY.
INFORMATION.
Everybody currently employed at Nightshade. Or for the Lotus. Or...something.Honestly, you may never know.All of the information here has been provided by the staff of their own free will and was in no way forced, coerced, or any other negative connotation you can think of out of them so that the gremlin running this show could fill up the slots. We promise.
tristan solianteaux.
Drunk, violent, and a little off his rocker, this pirate isn't afraid to do what needs to be done to achieve his goals, or the goals of his employer. Brash and cocky, his pride is his greatest strength, and his Achilles' heel.
desmond rhodes.
"Just call me Doc."
dae'll bizro.
The venue mascot and Xyphris' boyfriend. We all like him here. We dunno why.
lenore solianteaux.
sophie saint-saens.
We don't know why she keeps talking like that. Stop asking.
vette jinzukai
Old. Grumpy. Fits every definition of a feral man. Socially inept. Hasn't lost in the cage in quite some time. Skillset is relatively unknown to most.
tahli nikra.
General Menace. If responsible for damages, direct complaints to Arken.
luna green.
lilah rivers.
kol aska.
"It's great to be back."
synnove trine.
An artist with skills in alchemy and field medicine, this Viera will do anything to assist anyone in need. She's kind and gentle, to a point. Don't ever (hot) cross this bun, accidents can happen.
zephyr shadecross.
Xyphris' little brother. In what world is this place NOT his kind of playground?
sable.
