@Natsume Honnaji
I've looked over the character sheet, and it leaves me with a question:
Did you plan for him to not be part of the guild? It seems that way reading the sheet. I have to be honest, I didn't really expect any characters that wouldn't be part of the guild, at least not without discussing it first.


I was more thinking that at he starts the rp just now joining the guild, if that doesn't work I can have him already in the guild

I have to say you're character isn't accepted. It's a great character, and I love them, I really do. So, why am I not accepting them? Well, reading their history I have this suspicion you didn't read the information on the first post. Now, I hope I'm wrong, and maybe you just spaced it, but there's only one way into the guild, and your character's history makes it seem as if they broke the rules to get in another way, which isn't possible.

History:
Aleister is, above anything else, a mystery even for his guild mates - a person with a past so awfully hidden that even himself doesn't really know where did he come from, as he has roughly six years of memories from before the present day and even those start with wandering by the outskirts Magnolia without a single memory other than a name and covered by blood until being rescued/captured by members of the local guild, Dragons Cry, that took care of - and ultimately adopted/recruited - him due to his use of Dragon Slaying magic - by which the guild was widely recognized. Even now, 6 years after the occasion of his acceptance into the guild, Aleister has little to no knowledge about where exactly did he come from and why he was covered in blood when he was found by the guild, with all his attempts of investigating his own past ending in frustration.

That being said, the person himself is far from being concerned about his mysterious past, valuing the lifestyle of a mage in a guild away too much to care about how he could've been someone else had he not forgotten about his identity and deeply caring about the guild who gave him a new home - a family earned through his own actions rather than given him by destiny - being fairly satisfied by his lifestyle of taking it easy, occasionaly doing missions when he takes a break from messing around with others in Magnolia.


Edit:
@Natsume Honnaji It's perfectly fine for him to be joining as a newbie, however there's only one opportunity to do such. If this is the case it will be assumed he's already participated in the first portion of the tournament, so this needs mentioned in the history. Also, he needs guild mark location and color in his appearance.

This was one of the difficulties I had with Veilios sheet. Unpredictable as a word makes it seem like Veilios is one to not follow rules or going to be that character who deters everything everyone is doing because their own fickleness. Instable makes him too crazy and I didn't want him to be crazy, I want subtle stuff. So I chose to use the term Wayward, which should reflect the tone I am going for. Veilios is a team player, but he does have some damages.

The word "Lone Wanderer" really gives off an image of someone who well as the name suggest goes off on their own. If there was a misunderstanding on the history, might I suggest, and this isn't something you have to do. A simple suggestion, restructure the history so the wording suggest what you want.

I always try to create a string of things and make them flow, through a thought web

-Was a Lone Wanderer
-Has decided to settle and use his skills
-Hears about the tournament decides he want to test himself

Or whatever it is that you wanted to do in the history.

I actually meant that he was taken care of by the guild and then joined them through the tournament later in the year... I do admit that it was a fairly vague statement and hardly explained the process of him joining though. I'll just go ahead and expand this part of the sheet to include more info.

Another thing, if it's not too much trouble, could you possibly expand upon the history. We're perfectly fine accepting a character with amnesia, but just because the character doesn't know what happened, doesn't mean we can't. It helps us know more about the character, and connect with them better. :3

Well... I could pretty much present a full bio to the GMs in a private conversation if you truly want to know about it, but would still preffer to maintain his past hidden from other players as I kind of like to slowly unveil the mysteries of my characters during the roleplay.

Would you kindly? We'll look it over because its important to know, to make sure that there isn't information that may contradict what Neo has, etc. Thank you.

@Neo Is Delight Hey, is this still accepting? I would like to make a Glass Dragon Slayer, (not sure about the gender) and possibly another non-Dragon Slayer character of the opposite gender.

Yeah I feel you Rune, long time no see! Life has been kind of...time consuming lately.

@KiltmanBagz

Oh my goodness, kilt!

I am so sorry. I feel kind of bad that you won't get to use Klisa for this.

If I would have known you were going to be around for this, I would have used a certain timid bunny instead. I do think it would have been neat to see how Eira and Klisa interact though...ah well, not my call.

And we could ship the two of them again like always


Howdy rune! Long time no see :3 kind of been on a leave of absence from the guild due to real life getting to real but I'm back and ready to be a huge dork on the interwebs again!!!

And yeah either of those would have been a lot of fun eriaXklida 5ever

But this way we both get to try something new :3 and hey who knows maybe our characters will be ship-able again ;) ( maybe a un-refined plant or timid fire dragon slayer for them kiss to bump heads with)

We're like one big happy OCC family. I am glad to see everyone's enthusiasm showing. Hopefully Neo wakes up from her nap and finishes her sheet. And I finish my history.

I am sorry guys, my brain doesn't know how to do casual, and the history became "I will eat your eyeballs" long. -cries- :( It's a curse of mine.

I know the feel. I'm the kind of person who does either a simple sheet (2/3 para history/personality at most) or a "wtf-are-you-trying-to-write-a-book" sheet with up to 15K words.

My two characters, plus their shared history far surpassed the 15k word novel time in space. And I am just both in love with it. But secretly in despair and crying because why have I done this to myself and the members of this RP. It's word torture, but its also exciting because those type of writers inspire others to add to the world.

Eitherway I apologize for RIP History.

So, I may not make days end. But it looks like my day's end is possible your days beginning, so it's all good. Just writing history up, 15 minutes max? Maybe? Unless someone in a facebook group beats my Everwing score? Cool. See you in fifteen.

Yeah...depending on the character my bios can get reeeeally long as well.

Eira was simple, since she didn't exactly have all that exciting or notable history. Some end up being a page or two long if I really get into it.

No rush. I mean before the Interest Check or the OCC came up, my characters have taken me at least 2 days to complete. I'll have the history done tonight. Hopefully.

A page or 2. I wrote a 60 page history once. -cries-

20 to 40 pages is often my max
