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).

Evreux Mouraut
Evreux Mouraut
Proprietor; Broody Silver Fox
Age: 53
Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/HimBio: 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.

Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/HimBio: 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.

Age: 68
Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/HimBio: The rumours regarding the current Viscount de Courcelle tell of an older gentleman well engaged in enjoying his golden years. A fact well deserved, one may say, given his lordship's impeccable track record of responsibility and service to his immense family and his home nation of Ishgard. His success in business makes it no surprise that he's opted to take a more hands-on interest in the club he has personal connections to. Armand exudes warmth and charm, easily mingling with others, but the underlying steel in his demeanour is obvious. There are teeth behind his calm smile. He's not afraid to use them.

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.

Emrhys Novcaelum
Age: 25
Gender/Pronouns: Male, He/Him
Bio: The bastard son of a nobleman and a maid, Rami grew up in the Brume barely surviving with his mother until she passed away when he was thirteen years old, before she died she simply told him to survive, and he took that to heart, he began doing whatever he had to to claw his way out of the Brume. He took to becoming a street performer, singing and dancing for any amount of coin people would give him, he managed to capture the attention of a few wealthy patrons and soon found himself performing at various events for these patrons, but people in power can be fickle beings and as soon as the novelty dried out so did the financial support, he once again is fighting to make sure he does not end up in the extreme poverty of his childhood.
Host
Akhutai of the Urit
Akhutai of the Urit
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
Salvatore B. Ramirez
Salvatore B. Ramirez
Age: 41
Gender/Pronouns: Cisgender Male (He/Him)
Sexuality: Demisexual, panromantic
Bio: An astral cursed war veteran that hardly knows his subculture of Turali Elezen, he spends every waking moment he has trying to protect his loved ones. He resides with his family in Ishgard where he visited to more closely learn Astronomy, and definitely is completely ethical with no morally grey ideologies.
Musician
Lord Sebastian de Vairemont
Lord Sebastian de Vairemont
Age: 28
Gender/Pronouns: Male, He/Him
Bio: Known as both a bastard and the son of an executed heretic, Sebastian de Vairemont has quite the scandalous reputation among the nobility of Ishgard. Where many should feel compelled to close their doors in his face, the now legitimized bastard of House Vairemont has maintained a consistent presence in salons and at high society events. His recent marriage to the Baroness de Lanverlais has only further solidified his place in society. Many attribute his successes to his charming smile and rakish demeanor, but others are certain that he leverages carefully acquired secrets to ensure his continued relevance. Perhaps both could be true? What one can be certain of is that his skill with a violin is nearly unmatched and his bright tenor can bring even the most stoic of men to tears. His performances are simply not to be missed.
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.
Host
Brom Merrick
Brom Merrick
Age: Appears 40ish
Gender/Pronouns: Cis male, he/him
Sexuality: Homoromantic Demisexual
Bio: Brom’s reserved demeanor (and the fangs and claws, which he claims are from some manner of aether poisoning) can be intimidating at first glance, but the moment he opens his mouth it’s clear he’s far more intimidated by everyone else. He’s still relearning how to socialize around people, so as much as it looks like he wants to run screaming from every conversation, it’s better that he just suck it up and… try… to be normal.
Host
Mika de Leblanc
Mika de Leblanc
Age: 22
Gender/Pronouns: Trans man, He/him
Sexuality: Gay
Bio: A semi reformed wallflower, Mika was raised in the heart of Ishgard by a semi
promant and somewhat infamous house knowing every luxury an Ishgardian could know.
He was a student at Saint Endalim's Scholasticate studying to be a priest, while he graduated he felt a change of heart and was never made a priest officially, he remains a devote follower of Halone nonetheless.
While he is still rather quite and prone to bouts of shyness he has improved quite a bit and is eager to talk and mingle with others.
Host
Ser Leandre Lauvaux
Ser Leandre Lauvaux
Age: 65
Gender/Pronouns: Cis male, he/him
Sexuality: Gay
Bio: Once thought to be one of the fiercest knights to ever take the field in the Fury's name, Leandre no longer looks like the part of a warrior. The aging librarian set both his sword and reputation aside decades ago for the life of a recluse. Those who knew him then would struggle to recognize him. The retired knight has long since traded plate mail for sweater vests and shields for romance novels. Though, he finds the latter more difficult to hide behind. It is odd for a host to look as if he wishes to melt into the décor, but Leandre desires exactly that. Perhaps, if you are lucky, you can pry him from his shell for the evening?
Host
Sedrick Lumere
Sedrick Lumere
Age: late 30s to early 40s
Gender/Pronouns: Cis male, he/him
Sexuality: Pansexual
Bio: Carrying himself with a sharp and noble flair, this hyur exerts an aura of courtesy and dignity that matches no other. It is common to see Sedrick indulging in decadence and other vices 'unfitting' of his station, but it is very easy to see that the gentleman's tastes lean a certain way. Despite continuously claiming that he is a simple artisan providing for his family, Sedrick may have a wild streak that is kept tightlipped... For him, appearances are of utmost importance.
Security
Anselme
Anselme
Age: 40-ish
Gender/Pronouns: Male He/Him
Sexuality: Repressed Ishgardian
Bio: Anselme is an out-of-work Knight looking to fill his time since the end of the Dragonsong War. A devout Reformist; he doesn't lament the new era of peace nor the changes spreading through Ishgard. 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. Upbeat, cheerful and quick to laugh he's eager to please. He may not be the sharpest blade in the armoire he certainly makes up for it with earnestness.
