About Us

The Honesis Institution of The Eorzean Alliance was founded in 2022 on the 8th of March. Its initial creator Kotaro Kuraga had a concept of a place without barriers on the mind, and since then Honesis has grown into so much more. We’re a proud institution that teaches in-game concepts, lore, and even branches to some out of game ideals. Above all Honesis is a place where those who seek knowledge and enlightenment thrive. “Unity Through Knowledge” is our motto. We wish for this motto to appear a shining beacon in the world, so that all may walk in the light.

Use common sense with interactions, we’re all minds of learning here so the last thing we need to do is step on others toes.2. Mind your professors.
We’re friendly and don’t bite, but we expect you to take the pursuit of learning seriously.3. If you’ve any disputes, settle them accordingly.
At the same time that we’re here to help (and mediate should it be needed) we’re not in elementary school.4. We are an immersive RP group - for the most part
Classes in FFXIV and Discord will be conducted in character (IC) and server interactions written plainly will be taken as IC talk. Out of Character (OOC) talk is permitted, as long as it is formatted clearly with brackets/parentheses around them. (Or in appropriate OOC channels.)Example: I am currently speaking as myself, an adventurer in Eorzea. (Now I'm out of character, speaking as the person typing this message). Accidents and mistakes are understandable of course, but please attempt to keep to this format.

Our Founder

Name: Kotaro Kuraga
Pronouns: He/Him
Speciality: Aetherology, History
Brief description and background:Born among the raging flames of the dragon song war in Ishgard of a lesser noble house, Kotaro was originally named Dyval Redirus, yet when his family was slain, he adopted the name Kotaro Kuraga for his Doman-immigrant adoptive family. To avoid the war he was sent to the Studium in Sharlayan where he completed 12 years worth of courses in 5, testing out of quite a few. He’d spend the next three years at sea before settling back home in Ishgard to be the first spark of the Honesis Institution as he created its concept with his Founding Professors. Alas, Kotaro would later give his life so that others may yet live. His memory lives on, as those who follow in his footsteps seek knowledge through unity.

Used to the simple life, she would spend her days crafting little toys with her father and helping her mother out with the chores. Then, like so many children of Ishgard, she lost her parents to dragon fire and that awakened something deep within her; a mysterious power and a passion to craft. Over the years Aveline has been many things, an Azure Dragoon, a researcher of ancient Allag, a partner to the Garlond Ironworks, and an adventurer worthy of the Scions. Now, she holds a doctorate in Theological Architecture and wants nothing more than to teach others how technology can improve lives. "Augmentation is the future," she often argues, "one where man and machine need not be opposites, but one and the same in faith."As one of the Honesis Institution's founding professors, she hopes to be a gear of change. Through research and development of everything from steam power, to arcane matrices, to cyber initiatives and beyond, Aveline takes a little bit of everything to see that mankind grows without sacrificing that which makes us whole.

She left for Eorzea around 23 summers and has been through many of odd adventures, love lost, and families along the way; she took up scholar for her trade and later on sought to enhance her medical and aetherical knowledge. Carmella does what she can if she has any know-how on the matter but mostly falls back to simple healing or being a friend to a soul in need of a friend. She has other jobs two that she recently joined in on was a fellow flower child and good friend who owns called the Warden's Garden and the now growing Honesis Institution of the Eorzean Alliance. While she doesn't teach at the institute, she doesn't mind assisting attendees and other staff members with projects or coordinating events.She is content on letting the other flourish while she takes a step back and happily watches how others grow which is why she often down plays her impact on others, but the people she holds dear makes sure she realizes that any contribution, no matter how small it may be is something to be celebrated. It is rare for her to exhibit any expression of sadness not because she tries to suppress it, but tries to rationalize her way through the emotions so they do not overtake her. Due to her recent discoveries, she tries harder to keep her emotions under wraps as well as soothe uneasy souls around her. Some might find her presence a little chaotic, but it's a simple way of her to balance out professionalism with playfulness whether it be dancing with sprites or enjoying a field of flowers and good weather.
