That’s right!
The Frostbite Contingent is hiring all able bodied individuals from any race that might have an interest in making money through professional means! Whether you’re an Alchemist, Surgeon, Magical Healer, Bruiser, Assassin, Paratrooper, Engineer or simply a Merchant or you’re a damn crier. (No, not like needing a tissue kind, we mean cr— Actually, you know what, let’s just not go there.)
Who are we do you ask? (And if you didn’t to bad, you’re here so you’re gonna listen!)
The FBC is a group of individuals that are dedicated to creates some of the best tools of war to the theater currently playing in Azeroth! We make weapons, armor, utility gadgets and even a few healing items! Hell, we recently even added an assault vehicle to our catalog believe it or not! We work with individuals inside of our organization to make all of our equipment while working with everyone to continue expanding our wares and to make sure customers have their needs taken care of effectively and efficiently.
How is it we operate?
This is a multi-level answer really. For our people in the guild, we work together in creating IC gadgets and items with special properties for individuals to either use in our own ranks or for us to offer to others for IC currency. We don’t accept your hard earned gold. Also, if need be, we’ll even work with you to help create parameters on how these items might fit into your rolling systems if you feel the need to go that far. After all, we use these things too for our own events!
If you’re a customer coming to buy from us, then we tend to work slightly different. If it’s an existing item, we may have it in stock, depending on how you want it made. If it needs custom materials, then we take time to create in-game events or to run things IC to make them for you and then we set appointment times to deliver the item so your characters can find out how well they like said items and then make their payment to purchase said orders. If you’re a member of our ranks and we’re making these items for a customer, then we tend to take into account whatever it’s made out of and ascertain if we need to enter the field to acquire the items/materials to make this. So, a customers purchase helps to add future events to our calendar in a lot of ways!
We don’t just magically have what someone comes to purchase right then and there just because it’s easier that way. We believe that putting in the time and effort to create those items helps not only promote better story for you, but for us as well as help to provide some interesting character building opportunities.
For the individuals in our guild that are builders and creators of the very products we sell, we put these items into a catalog (that we maintain via Google Documents) that is then kept IC. This allows us to remove and add in items as needed in an easy format that allows us to explain what each item does and if need be, how it’s used. (This way you as a player can implement those details as you see fit.)
Addition: As we have come to grow and expand over the past year, the FBC has expanded into needing various organizational ranks within its entity in order to expedite and increase efficiency. Because of this, we have adopted three essential ‘roles’ within the rank.
Engineers - these being the rank belonging to our Technicians, Blacksmiths and various Crafters who help in the assembly of parts and/or items for use and/or sale.
Security - A general purpose group of Strong arms that help to defend our facilities, stock and assets (people) from the various dangerous of the universe around us. They also tend to be the driving force to help procure materials for the FBC as a whole as well.
Acquisitions - These individuals are here to help collect intelligence about how and where to find particular materials and/or items that are needed by Security or Engineering to complete their jobs or projects. In essence, they help us collect information for our ranks to help give idea and/or background for the events that we do.
Do you use any rolling systems or anything?
Yes, yes we do. We use a custom d20 system. It runs rather smoothly but we’re also currently experimenting with this system to see if we can allow for each individual character to have some customization options so that way you feel as if your characters skills/abilities actually have an effect beyond a base and flat /roll 20 result.
What all should I know about your group OoC before I poke you about joining?
Well, ultimately we’re seeking individuals who are 18 years of age or higher, though we do accept people lower than this, but it is specifically on a case by case basis because a lot of our jokes and rp material can get vulgar and pretty gore-tastic, not to mention there’s tons of horrible puns and sexual innuendos. (I know, it’s awful, I used the ‘S’ word.)
On top of this, we ask that all of our members join our discord at a minimum so that way we can notify everyone of events far easier and so that way you can also reach out to us in case something happens where you no longer have access to your PC.
Last but not least, we ask that our members recognize that while we are all thick skinned and make awful jokes from time to time, we are a No harassment zone and that people get a singular warning. We’re adults and as adults, we expect people to have at least a common level of respect between one another, even if they don’t always agree.
Who do I reach out to?
Reaching out to us in-game tends to work for the best. If this is the case, you’ll want to track down Naturasu, Scratch Triggerpin (Mcboom) or even myself and we’ll see what we can do to get your entry into the FBC started! If for some reason you don’t see any of us three on, simply reach out to any of our members and let them know you’re interested and one of us will message you back once we’re able.
