Basics.

_{Originally created after the occupation of Ala Mhigo by the Garlean Empire, The Falcons are a Sky Pirate crew lead by a ruthless captain, who was once referred to as The Red Reaper and more recently, The Crimson Demon of Ul'dah.Their goal? It started as an Anti-Garlean operation, attacking their airships and wrecking them, as well as an operation to deal with those who sully the reputation of sky pirates through human trafficking and selling weapons to Garlemald. As of the 7th Umbral Era their primary goal has shifted to stealing from the rich and wealthy, targeting the rich and/or corrupted Ul’dahn Upper Class, the Order of Nald'Thal, and the Syndicate, and the corrupted nobles from other lands in particular. They do however, still target Garleans that cling to the empire ideology and other nastier sky pirates.You could equate The Falcons to being The Robin Hoods of the Sky, stealing from the rich to distribute the wealth among the less fortunate.Those who become part of the The Falcons are made to work at the courier/caravan company Secret Star Services. Some as workhands on airships, others as hired muscle or even couriers and caravan workers.It is not publicly known that Secret Star Services is a front to a sky pirate crew, and thus when working the day to day, it is a secret kept in the shadow. After all, they've done quite a good job staying elusive and keeping tales of their antics off their backs, and they'd rather keep it that way.But not everyone shares this sentiment. From Monetarists to Order members, to those still clinging to Garlean ideology, The Falcons must navigate politics and the underworld to protect those they hold close: or face the consequences.}

Who Are We (ooc).

_{The Falcons is a small, 21+ LGBTQ+ friendly Sky Pirate/Criminal & Political RP community of fairly chill roleplayers of various styles who want a place to have fun and hang out.Our Roleplay mostly focuses on not only having RP within the FC as part of an overarching multi-part plot & story, but to also incentivize personal RP between members and coordinate with other groups to bring about RP that goes beyond the scope of our small community, while still giving people that small FC feel.}

Crew.

PILOTS. _{Nothing is more critical than someone that knows, for the love of the gods, how to fly an airship and fly it through the trickiest of situations.}NAVIGATORS. _{Often working with pilots and the captain, Navigators read the systems maps and systems they are given by the computers and determine the best course towards their destination, or out of a bad situation. They also keep an eye out for enemies and help direct the gunners when needed.}GUNNERS. _{For those with good aim, and at least gun or magitek savy, Gunners have an eye for hitting their targets accurately without causing friendly fire. They are the most needed during dogfight and ship combat, but sometimes they're necessary for a more personal battle as well.}HEALERS. _{Stealing from the rich or attacking Garlean units comes at a price. People die, they get seriously injured. Healers are there to make sure they survive till the next sun. Nerves of steel are necessary for this position.}MECHANICS. _{If you own an airship, you need the know-how to keep the ship greased up and running when it needs to, alongside any smaller airships used for smaller operations. The Mechanics of the Falcons are a handsy lot, and on their spare time when they aren't salvaging parts or fixing the ship back into shape they find new ways to engineer and tinker with new weapons and engines to give the crew a better advantage on the field or in the sky.}CREWHANDS. _{Abel-bodied crew that know a little bit of everything and at times clean the deck. They are also the bulk of the crew that goes to raid their targets. They answer directly to the Master Gunner during battle, and the Quartermaster and Boatswain when not. They need to at least be able to fly a small one person airship or be able to learn.}BLACK MARKET DEALERS. _{When stealing from the rich, you have to find a way to liquidate discreetly and that's where the Black Market Brokers come in. Acting as intermediaries between The Falcons and the black market auctions and customers. They also tend to be into collecting information, and will often be tasked with looking into those they are selling to--or a potential next target.}

Post Office.

_{Those who are in The Falcon's crew also have a job within the post office as well.}

CARAVAN-HANDS. _{The bulk of the work within Secret Star & its main source of income. The Caravans are the star of the show. This is typically the large-scale transport of goods (and sometimes passengers) by land or air, but usually land, and the caravan hands take care of loading, transporting, and unloading.}COURIERS. _{Just because post-moogles have the majority doesn’t mean you want them peaking in your packages! Couriers within Secret Star have the task of making small-scale transports of packages and letters. They also have the important task of building up Secret Star’s client base!}SCOUTS. _{Caravans can't properly run without the watchful and ever dutiful eye of scouts! From spotting potential dangers, to dealing with robbers before the caravans even catch of whiff of trouble, to helping with establishing travel caches throughout the star, Secret Star is always looking for scouts.}MECHANICS. _{Secret Star has a very small fleet of airships that need to be taken care of, alongside other magitek that helps with travel for couriers. The Postmaster is always looking for mechanics that keep her from having to get her own hands dirty!}HEALERS. _{Not every caravan or courier job will go well. Things happen and people can and will get hurt. This is where the healers of Secret Star come in! From patching up wounds through magical means to using potions and medical knowledge, Secret Star's medical staff can fix you right up. (People that don't ask questions preferred)}ADMINISTRATION. _{Behind every successful shipment and every delivered letter is the absurd number of paperwork and logistics work. From becoming a personal assistant to Secret Star's postmaster, to helping with planning routes and writing up legal documents, administration is a tough job and someone's gotta do it.}CARAVAN LOUNGE STAFF. _{Down the steps from the main post office floor is The Caravan Lounge; a stop for caravans and other travelers stopping by to rest their chocobos and grab a quick bite, refuel, or perhaps to load and unload cargo. Primarily ran by Zorya Votyasch, the caravan lounge is always in need of staff! Whether that's waiters/waitresses, cooks, bartenders, or perhaps even a performer looking for their next stage: The Caravan Lounge might be for you!}
