Games Room
Care to play some games of chance? Make your way to the games room, where there are billiards and card tables available.NOTE: These games are self hosted, for fun and IC gil only. We do not have dealers on staff or anything of that nature
All of these games are self-hosted by guests and/or staff! They are purely for fun with no real gil involved! These directions and rules are simply provided as a suggestion! Feel free to make up or use your own!
However, we do have a few rules that we ask you to follow:
- IC gil only please! This is just for fun!
- Keep your clothes on in the room, please no strip poker, ect.
- All regular venue rules apply in private rooms as well! Venue Rules
Billiards/Pool
This is a modified version of 8-ball, to be played on the billiards table in the game room!One player will break the 8-ball formation with "/random"0-500 = Stripes
501-999 = SolidsHow to play:
To get a ball in, Players take turns in rolling "/random". If a player rolls higher than 500, the ball has gotten in. There are 8 balls, and each needs to be sunk before sinking the black 8 ball. If a player accidently sinks the 8 ball sooner than that, it is an automatic loss.To sink the 8-ball and secure a win, on the player’s turn, they will call out (in character) one of the 8 pockets that they are aiming the 8-Ball to sink in. OOC , the player tells the others a number between 1-8, then you use "/random 10". If the player gets their roll, they've sunk the 8-ball and have won!
EXAMPLE: "Eight ball, corner pocket ((Number 5))." /random 10If a player rolls a 1, they've sunk the 8-ball, which is an automatic loss.If a player rolls a 999, they've sunk the white ball. This means that the opposing team/player can remove the ball and place it anywhere on the table. Placing the white ball down means they can roll with advantage (roll /random twice, choose highest number)
Blackjack
This is a simplified version of Blackjack. The goal is to reach 21 or have a higher total hand value than the dealer without going over.It is recommended to use party chat to keep things organized!Players begin by placing their bets, the min-max values are at the discretion of the dealer.
(Suggestion of a 5k min bet. IC gil only! Feel free to go as high or low as you wish though!)Each player gets two face-up cards, while the dealer gets one face-up card. Players can choose to hit, stand, double down, or split. The dealer will then draw their own cards, which concludes when they bust or reach the required standing point.HIT: Player can request additional cards, up to the threshold of 21 or stand at any time.DOUBLE DOWN: Player pays their initial fee and receives one card. Then they automatically stand or bust.SPLIT: The player can split their duplicate cards into two hands. The player may hit these as regular hands as many times as they wish. A player cannot DD or split a hand that has already been split.STAND: Keep the current hand.CARDS: Each number represents its face value, with the exception of 1, 11, 12 and 13.Ace (1) counts as either 11 or 1, depending on what is more advantageous for the hand.
10, 11, 12, and 13 all count as 10.SPECIAL RULES
Splitting Aces: Allowed5 Card Charlie: When a player hits an additional five cards, and totals under 21, this becomes a 5 Card Charlie – which boosts the payout rate to 2.5x. The player must still beat the dealer.Natural 21: A natural 21 is unbeatable, it can only win or push (draw with the dealer).
Rules

ERP - ERP is not allowed at this venue. If your RP is becoming risqué, please take it elsewhere, in a private space.
Drama - While we love our IC drama here, let’s please keep it IC. If an issue does bleed into OOC, please try to resolve it in DMs with the parties involved before bringing it to management/staff. If you don't like someone, please block them. Petty drama will not be tolerated.

Proprietor
Evreux Mouraut
Evreux Mouraut
Proprietor; Broody Silver Fox
Age: 52
Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/Him
Sexuality: GayBio: A Dragonsong War veteran turned artist, Evreux has always been a somewhat mysterious man, his past filled with rumors and scandal. He claims to simply be a lowborn from the Brume but nepotism shown to him at one point in time from House Dzemael, as well as the way Evreux carries himself, says otherwise. One can easily get the sense from Evreux that he is not exactly what he seems. Once a devout Knight Dragoon, in recent years he's spent much of his time painting portraits for the Ishgardian nobility. But it seems he has hit a point in his life where he decided to start setting down some roots, in the form of starting his own business, Le Renard Argenté.In general, he tends to be stoic and secretive, with his own brand of playfulness. He's been rumored to be a flirt, even a rake, but whether that is related to recent occurrences or things in his past is unclear. Perhaps one would have to speak to him for themselves to find out.

CASTIEL DE SIELONT
Manager
Age: Appears Mid-50's
Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/Him
Sexuality: GayBio: A man with undeniably preternatural charisma and elegance. He commands attention when he enters a room. What he wants to do with that attention is up to his whims, which are often unpredictable. Whether or not he makes for pleasant company is a rather subjective thing.A patron of the arts and theater, Castiel co-owns a theater himself. A lover of all forms of art and music, he has taken up working at Le Renard Argenté presumably to mingle with others who share similar interests. But perhaps there is more to it than that.

Jules Theroux
Jules Theroux
Age: 29
Gender/Pronouns: Male He/Him
Sexuality: Gay
Bio: Monster hunter, dealer in contracts, reaper. A man with a mischievous smirk that rarely leaves his lips, Jules is often seen not only in the streets of Ul'dah but also around the Brume and Ishgard proper. With no proper name of his own, the Wildwood doesn't appear to be of noble birth yet comes and goes as he pleases. As wild as the wind and as hard to tame, he has seemingly come to settle in the midst of Le Renard Argenté. A sometime bartender, sometime security. He fills whatever nook needs filling, and always with that Cheshire grin.

Bio: A doctor born of the De’Fleur family of Sharlayan – enigmatic and calculating but caring. Like his father, he excels in medical practice and alchemy. A run in with the Garlean empire and surviving Black Rose changes the course of his life forever.

Ambrose Sterling
Age: 41
Gender/Pronouns: Male He/Him
Sexuality: Demisexual, Biromantic
Bio: Ambrose is a bounty hunter with a sort of affinity for cowboy hats and boots with spurs. He lives in Ishgard with his doting husband and 4 children. Despite looking rugged and mean on the outside, he is sweeter than a puppy when you get to know him. He takes pride in talking about his loved ones but some other topics of interests that will get his gears going are foraging, gardening, baking and weaponry (especially his demon's blood revolver). Ambrose can be compared to a big dumb dog most of the time since he is protective and stands his ground, but is also a little dim in the head. Either way, if you need a drink or some lively conversation, Ambrose is your guy. No, he wasn't the fella you saw with a bounty for his head? What are you on about?

Perhaps he will charm you too?

Sebastian de Vairemont
Age: 27
Gender/Pronouns: Cisgender Male (He/Him)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Bio: Known to all as the silver-tongued bastard of House Vairemont, Sebastian has spent much of his life carefully cultivating his reputation as a playboy and social oddity. While most found the scandal of his parentage to be unsavory, he sought ways to make that work in his favor. Charm, whit, and that crooked grin of his opened many a door, allowing him to flit around the scene often causing quite the stir. He can still be found in salons and sitting rooms alike, though seems to favor flirting his way through clubs that cater to more sophisticated clientele.

Vicomte Tynik Snowfeather, née Kara'tai, du le Maison d'Vasa'kai
Age: 105 (presents 28)
Gender/Pronouns: Male, He/Him
Sexuality: Pansexual
Bio: Volumes can be read in the turn of a wrist, the flicker of a smoldering glance, the gentlest touch of fingers to shoulder. Words are wrought into sentences with layers of meaning and innuendo, an entire litany of vocabulary wrapped in a single statement or turn of phrase. The byzantine language of nobility goes far beyond simple word play- it is an art form of the highest order, artistry the Viscount Tynik practices with the grace of one born to it. Educated and erudite, this clearly Ishgardian viera can wax eloquent on subjects from heraldry to literature. A sommelier, a poet, a courtesan, the Viscount is keen to please in a wide variety of ways.

Age: Mid-Thirties
Gender/Pronouns: Male, He/Him
Sexuality: Demisexual
Bio: Tai is a nontraditional Xaela who is Khan of his equally nontraditional tribe. He doesn't claim any one particular place as home but it is definitely not the Steppe and nowadays he finds himself spending quite a bit of his time in Ishgard. A quiet, stern warrior who grew to have a devil-may-care attitude; quick wit, sarcasm, and snide comments abound. With a flash of a grin full of pointed teeth, he may ask a favor for a favor, but deals with devils are very rarely a good thing.
Host
Sun Pond
Sun Pond
Age: 26
Gender/Pronouns: Male, He/Him
Sexuality: Homosexual
Bio: Sun's subdued, sophisticated demeanor creates a frame through which one may appreciate his love of entertaining. Though his life began as a the well loved son of his tribe's leader, this Vie'ra now travels and performs with a troupe, dancing, singing, and putting on shows wherever he's hired to. Sun is not one for the battlefield, using his chakrams a part of a beautiful display rather than a show of strength. As he adorns himself with shining gold jewelry, his voice, too, is decorated with occasional sparkles of humor to contrast his normally refined manner. Sun is a lover of fine men, fine things, and artful performance.
Host
Regis Octavian D'amadeux
Regis (Ree-gis) Octavian D'amadeux
Age: 30
Gender/Pronouns: Male, He/Him
Sexuality: Gay
Bio: Regis is a Coerthan Manor Lord (though his predecessors are Ishgardian), or Baron who lives mostly in his lowland estates de Amadeux. The property, and town he lives in and assists with bringing prosperity to, borders the Shroud so the winters and weather are not so harsh for his distillery and House Business. He deals in fine liqueurs, specifically Amaretto and Chambord.
Regis is a friendly but calm individual, though he can be quick to joy.
He served briefly in the Artillery corps for the Haillenarte Machinests during the war efforts, but shortly after its conclusion, was forced to take the mantle of Baron lord after the passing of his father from illness. Due to his youth in taking on head of House, he has a sleepiness about him for the never ending work, but do not mistake him for complacent or lethargic.
He loves conversation, and is endlessly curious about the happenings within the City Proper.

'Professor' Nicodemus Pramoix
Age: 63
Gender/Pronouns: (Stealth) Trans man / He/Him exclusively
Sexuality: Gay
Bio: A half-Hyur Sharlayan Professor known for his aloof personality and formal demeanor. Nicodemus has travelled to Ishgard with the purpose of studying at the Athenaeum Astrologicum to further his research into space and what it can mean as a frontier for mankind.
Despite his somewhat cold exterior, he greatly enjoys speaking with others, especially on matters of Scientific discussion. Though, it is unlikely you will learn much about the man himself in the meantime.
Conversations with him can feel a touch surface-level, but there are those who have managed to worm their way past his walls and would vouch that it is well worth the effort.

Sexuality: Homosexual
Bio: He's an androgynous man retired priest whose come back into the limelight after so much time spent home as a simple househusband. Though he is known for his motherly nature and wisdom giving ways, those with seedier interests may know of his night life as a 'performer'. Despite it all, he only hopes that not only will this club give him a chance at respect once more, but that he won't have to go back to those nightly jobs...perhaps as long as know one knows his secret.

Teo-Linh
Teo-Linh
Age: 25
Gender/Pronouns: Trans man / He/Him
Sexuality: Gay
Bio: New to Ishgard, Teo is not aware of the customs nor the history of the Holy See. However, as a both a keeper and teller of stories, he is desperate to uncover the secrets hidden beneath the snows. Whether it be tales of temple knights or stories of dragons swooping through the sky, the mysterious viera is interested. This curiosity is a boon in his new position as a host at Le Renard Argente, but is otherwise something that often gets him in trouble. For there are trails of breadcrumbs you should not follow and riddles that are not meant to be solved. Unfortunately, Teo has yet to learn that. Perhaps in time.

He does not miss the war time struggles though he hasn't been able to bring himself to set aside his axe for good. While he sometimes falls into old habits he is doing his best to adapt.
