Garden

Cetra



Cetra Garden, a Military Academy created by the great Errex Duisivette. A previous Maelstrom Lieutenant after many years of war, he and his
wife Ashette established Cetra Garden.

A home and sanctuary for Mercenaries to learn the primary skills they would need to survive in Eorzea.

Errex spent most of his time singlehandedly running the Garden out of his own home,
yet after being noticed by the Maelstrom for his soldier's impressive feats.

In exchange for accepting Job Offers and training troops exclusively for potential war, they funded the building and full creation of Cetra Garden.

Cetra Garden has had many Mercenaries come and gone, and the ownership deeds have been handed down over the Eras.

As it remains now, the deeds belong in a relative of Errex's hands who remains a mysterious and disassociated element to the Garden.

Meanwhile the Academy's instated headmasters both Jagun Kharlu and Malina Wolfe have now opened the doors of Cetra Garden for public application.
We offer weekly events run by our very experienced DM's.

Events will vary between socializing, parties, exams, balls and much much more.

In addition we offer the players the ability to run their own events (after verifying it with an Admin) so they too can put players through their home-made deathtraps. The ability to host, create and collaborate with others in creating your stories is the most vital part to roleplay, something we will never hinder.

Between the various roleplay events held, we will also be having such things as 'content nights'. Whether that will be going through past-raids, new dungeons or plundering the many rooms of Thavnair, there will always be plenty to do both ICly and OOCly.

Whilst we have three admins who are EU-based, we also have an admin who is located in America meaning that no matter your timezone, you'll always be able to catch a few events a week!

Our stories are written with you in mind.
We specifically open-endedly write stories so that your character can and will have an influence on how the stories pans out.

From anything as a subtle speech to daring actions, you can be rest assured that the story path you follow for our events aren't linear and have many avenues to deviate.

Although Cetra Garden is a Dark/Mature themed role-playing Free Company. We welcome all types of characters, from lawful good to chaotic evil. Some may be blissfully unaware of the Garden's situation, perhaps some might challenge the questionable decisions that the Garden makes.

We wish for you to play your character as you see fit, in any circumstances. We are always willing to collaborate and work with other Free Companies, should you wish to work with us! Please contact one of the Admins and we can get to work on weaving a story!

Why choose one or the other?

We combine the best of both worlds, relying heavily on the theme of Final Fantasy VIII as a basis for our story. Cetra Garden is not only a Military Academy, training (npc) students of all ages in combat on a day to day.

But also the Garden is a Military Force, once recruits have demonstrated their commitment to the Garden and taken the exam and passed become fully fledged SeeD's. They join the Garden as the elite soldiers to carry out the tasks of the Garden to the letter.

Tavern Nights? Stage Nights? Mercenary work?  Exams? We have it all.

Head Master
Jagun 'Blue' Kharlu

Originally adopted into the Steppe with his Auri mother Cereph and father Kaleng. The young boy wanted to walk in the footsteps of his father, a hunter and warrior of the Kharlu tribe. Kaleng taught Jagun every essence of what it was like to become such. At the age of eleven, the boy were brimming with confidence. Jagun left the confines of the Kahkol’s borders toward Yanxia to try his new-found skills against a real ‘monster’. He beat the creature after a hard go at it, claiming the head in victory to present to his dad. He returned back to the Tribe, creatures severed head in hand to be met with a sight he could not forget.

Cereph and Kaleng had been caught on the Steppe’s border, ambushed by a Garlean patrol before their child’s very eyes. A few days after their end, he heard whispers through the winds. A source of power known as Thaumaturgy, a known power that could put Garlean’s down permanently. Needless to say, Jagun pursued this. At the age of twelve, he climbed aboard his first ship and sailed across the Ruby Sea. During the Journey, the ship came under attack. J'agun’s skills as a warrior had saved the Sea Captain’s life. And as repayment the boy requested he be taken to a place of study. Where he could learn Thaumaturgy. The Sea Captain knew of such a place, setting sail for Eorzea.

From the age of sixteen to twenty two, he trained in the ways of Thaumaturgy.

Having now spent many moons fighting under various banners, this often exhausted/uninterested Miqo'te runs Cetra Garden.

Head Mistress
Malina 'Mally' Wolfe

A miqo’te abandoned at birth and feared too ill to survive was found upon by a young hyur couple that quickly took her in as a blessing.

After so long they finally had a daughter amongst their many sons. Mal never once forgot this fact and is fiercely loyal to her family regardless of their differences. Surrounded by mainly boys as she grew, Mal ran after her brothers the whole way. Scuffed knees, teeth knocked out early – it was all part of the adventure!
Now a grown adult when she isn’t working as a bar maid she’s in other taverns stirring up a riot and known for the “harmless” drunken brawl. Headstrong and determined, she never holds back and dives head first into the fray.

A rowdy, boisterous woman yet her compassionate side is often what fuels her into conflict as she’s always ready to stand up for her beloved companions. Sporting a scar that lays across her right eye occurred when protecting a weaker comrade against a man twice her size, something she would merrily do again if it meant loved ones were safe and well. So, despite it all she does indeed have a softer side to her brash, blunt ways.

Quite frequently it’s animals that bring out an awkward soppy display she’d rather no one witness but alas it is often revealed if a critter passes by!Adventures are all she can dream of, an aspiring author and daredevil enthusiast she is always ready to be on the move and to make connections on the way. She aspires to be an adventuring author, who is currently a "responsible and mature" part of the Administration Team - just do not interact outside of office hours
