Current Geez, it's been 11 months since I last logged in. Sorry to anyone I was RPing with, real life got in the way and I guess I just lost track of time.

I think the rotating GM idea is great, but that would ultimately be for you all to decide. I just don't see myself having enough time to participate, so I probably won't be very involved in the RP if at all. Right now, in my current position, I can check the site between calls, but once I transition into full time training for the new role, I will be attending the class via Zoom and won't be able to post at all during the day. My full attention will be required for the entire shift.

I'm wondering if it might be best to hand over GMing duties to one of you guys. As previously mentioned, I'm going to have less free time than I initially thought when I started this interest check three weeks ago because since then I've been offered a much higher paying position. It's a financial services role for a multinational bank and there are a lot of systems and terms and policies to learn (six weeks of training), and I feel like my posting rate would be too slow to keep up with both this and my Teen Titans RP. Does anyone want to take over as GM?
I'll fix them up later and do all the fancy colors and fonts, but I wanted to get these out while I had the motivation.

@CaptainManbeard Let me know if there's any problems with Raven staying with the BatFamily prior to this.

I've read everything in the interest check and IC and already know how I plan on having my characters enter as well as explain where they've been the entire part of the battle. Matter of fact, while I await for approval I'll go ahead and pre-write that post.





Sorry, forgot to say you're good to go! Go ahead and post your chars in the CS thread and your IC post :).
I'll take a look at the characters in a bit here, but welcome aboard! I was hoping someone would eventually play Raven so that we can work in a Trigon arc at some point XD.
I'm gonna try to finish reading all these posts today but I will be working again so depends on how slow or busy it is. I am off tomorrow and Thursday, but have other stuff going on then, so won't have a lot of time to spend on the Guild. I'm considering just taking a pure GM role and not having any player characters myself after all, because with my new position starting soon, my free time is going to be even more limited. I've got six weeks of training to go through and I'm beginning to realize I probably won't have time to be fully involved in both this RP and my Teen Titans one.

Either way, I'm hoping to have all questions answered and have the main thread up over my days off.
Also, just a heads up - as seen in the image, Klarion is wearing a mask, so Frost won't be able to trap his mouth unless she is able to remove his mask first. But since there is a magic rune on the forehead of the mask, I recommend caution when attempting to remove it ;).
“I don’t know about anyone else’s suit, but-” Nightwing started to answer Wonder Girl’s question but was cut-off as Black Adam came flying down from above them with a clenched fist aimed at Dick’s head. Just then Scarlet Beacon had returned to his feet and fired a red blast at the villain and gave Nightwing an opportunity to dodge out of the way.

Black Adam touched down onto the ground and then noticed Supergirl approaching him. He had to fight back the urge to laugh as she mentioned his shoelaces being untied, even though he didn’t have shoelaces on his current outfit. Is she really foolish enough to think this will work? Hmmm… Let’s have some fun… he thought to himself, playing along. Sure enough, she took what she thought was an opening and began punching him.

The heroine was so focused on the ass-beating she thought she was giving him that she didn’t even notice him releasing tiny magical spores of light from his fingertips. The little orbs then formed a cloud of mist and invaded Supergirl’s nose and mouth, causing her to cough violently.

“Your stupidity knows no bounds, girl!” Black Adam barked out a hearty laugh. “Weren’t you the least bit curious why your ridiculous ploy was working so well? Did your mentors teach you nothing? Now you shall taste the full force of a most heinous forbidden art - Blood Magic!”

The villain reached out a hand and began gripping the air as if holding a baseball, and Supergirl instantly felt a horrible pain in her chest as if her heart was being squeezed. “That magical mist you so foolishly allowed me to invade your body with has now dispersed among the blood cells in your veins. Your blood now responds to MY will, girl!” He rushed forward, grabbing her throat and flying them both up into the sky, far above the battle below.

“Let her go!” Conner screamed, taking flight after them.

Meanwhile, Klarion was trying to pull free of the whip that was now wrapped around him. Then the electricity came. “Aaaah! You fucking bitch!” he growled as he dropped to his knees, momentarily weakened. At the same time, all his scorpion monsters flickered in and out of existence like a glitch in a video game, making it clear to the heroes that they were indeed tied to the sorcerer’s concentration.

“That’s it!” Nightwing yelled out. “Focus on Klarion! Don’t let up!” He stopped for a minute to look at the conflict going on in the sky. “Be careful with Black Adam,” he said to the Kryptionians through their earpieces, assuming they even still worked after the blast they had just taken moments prior. Dick then turned and ran towards the other heroes facing Klarion. At the same time, the red and yellow sparks of light had returned as Wally and Thawne resumed their superspeed battle.
No way in hell would Black Adam be stupid enough to fall for that "your shoelaces are untied" line, LOL. But that's okay, no need to edit. I've already got an idea brewing for how to deal with it XD.
I'm trying to go through and read all these posts inbetween calls but it's been busy as hell and there are a lot of posts to read LOL. I'll try to finish them up and answer any lingering questions when I have a chance.

That is a really awesome song!
And a samurai and sorcerer combo sounds really cool!


I feel like structurally, if we use basic D&D classes, he'd be like a cross between a Fighter, a Monk, and a Sorcerer. His main class would be the Monk, with a little bit of Fighter thrown in just to allow him to use swords and daggers, and then a tiny splash of Sorcerer so he can channel elemental abilities into his Katana. As for how that would exist on a different world, I'm considering making it an alternate version of Earth that never developed modern technology and instead has magic and monsters and such. That way we can just use Google Maps to chart distances for travel and then I can use Dungeon Alchemist for maps and backdrops for cities, towns, dungeons, etc.
