RP hooks –––

Lawyer / legal advocate: Zoe is a lawyer! Who doesn’t need one of those? There are many opportunities for her to get hooked into various plots, be it business transactions, criminal defense, advisory services, public relations etc. Maybe your character wants to lodge a complaint against Gridania? Trip and fell in Ul’dah? Seek damages against someone who harmed them? Send a strongly worded letter to someone to stop doing something? So many possibilities.

Law Enforcement RP: Zoe could represent any of the criminals that the various law enforcement Freecompanies deal with in their plots. On the criminal defense side, I see this as a friendly, yet lightly adversarial type relationship as is common in the real world.

Criminal RP: Every criminal should have a lawyer on retainer; hire Zoe! I think this adds a whole new dynamic to crime roleplay, allowing more in depth schemes. If you’re part of a criminal FC, perhaps she could be a trusted advisor? Remember: she’s bound to secrecy.

Business RP: Zoe can work with various freecompanies and RP businesses to help them with legal, communication or pubic relation issues. Perhaps several organizations are trying to negotiate a deal. Maybe your freecompany has been slandered by someone? Maybe a night club has been getting harassed by a visitor? There are really limitless options as to how this can add more depth to the roleplay.

Mediation / Arbitration: Perhaps two characters are having a dispute on a matter. Zoe could sit them both down, hear both sides and make a ruling as to what the resolution should be so that they can all come to an equitable solution.

Whatever YOU want: If you think there could possibly be a role for Zoe in your character / FC plots, please do try to include her. I am always happy to RP just about anything, so the more the merrier.

Ask Zoe: Can I confide in you as my legal advocate?

“I get often get asked: why can I trust you? It’s a completely legitimate question. I’m a stranger to a new client and they’re put in a position where they have to tell me very intimate details about their lives. It can be very uncomfortable and a challenge to overcome.

My reputation is based around privacy. The wonderful thing is that very detail you tell me is protected. My entire livelihood rests solely on my ability to keep details strictly confidential. The second I violate that trust, it’s over. The privacy between a legal advocate and client is sacred.

You can lie to your family, you can lie to your friends, hell you can even lie to the Twelve, but NEVER lie to your lawyer. Remember, my job is to help individuals get through serious situations. I can’t do that effectively unless I have all of the facts and the truth, even if it hurts. If I know the facts that can potentially hurt my case upfront, I can properly defend my client against them. If details are omitted due to embarrassment or otherwise, when it eventually does come out, we’re going to have a lot harder of a time handling it.

If you only trust one person, trust Zoe Goodfellow.”

Zoe defends “Sitting Ox” against Limsa Lominsa charges

((IC press release; player gave me permission to post this.))

“I’m deeply saddened that Limsa Lominsa has raised these absurd charges against my client.The facts clearly show that my client never possessed the crates containing the illicit substances. He never touched the containers, they were sealed, he had absolutely no idea what was in them. This arrest should frighten any person who acts as a guard on a seaborne vessel. I have filed a complaint with the city and expect these charges to be dropped immediately.”
