I can transfer the account to you, but until the Guild is updated, I can't transfer the name alone to your account. Will that suffice, or would you prefer a different name?

Ryona Zako -> Princess Peril

The Digital Expanse {Digimon x Megaman RP}

The navi held back with all her might before being cast to the ground by the sheer strength of this virus— monster— thing. Aki rushed to the side of the ruined navi.

Stay back!

Her voice was still broken and rusted. In pain.

I have to keep it off the Holy Panel...

Despite her wounds, the navi creaked to a standing position, her legs spasming every few moments as she dedicated her every process to rising. A light of hope beamed through Aki. She had read the stories, played the games. She knew this was how heroes won. How despite all the odds, all the pain, they rose up to fight again. And when their backs were against the wall, that's when heroes were their stronge—

Ciel collapsed, her leg erupting into a shattered collection of blue voxels. Packets of data flitted into the air, only to evaporate into the void of the digital world. And as she dropped, Aki's newfound confidence fell with her. If a navi, a creature specifically built to kill these monsters couldn't win, what hope could a normal girl like Aki possibly have? And as she watched her lifeline buckle, a sense of dread hit Aki like a bowling ball to the gut. An intimate uncertainty of what the future held, of how she would make it in this world. Of what she would need to do to survive. Her charge of survival instincts didn't last long. A familiar, cold feeling of acceptance washed through her, a tool that had often allowed her to cope with life's shifting tides. This might be unwinnable, and there might be no way out. She might die today. That's just how life was.

Then Aki would be ready to die.

The Digital Expanse {Digimon x Megaman RP}

It's eating the other viruses!?

Ciel was relegated to watching the monster consume its kin, still struck with the shock of sudden cannibalism. And beyond simple healing, the beast looked as if it were preparing something nasty for their feeble entourage.

The abomination almost appeared to be charging some kind of attack, but the executable charged faster. As Aki still fumbled with her chips in a weak attempt to ready herself for the navi's next order, Ciel unleashed her guardian saber against the thick skin of the creature. The one-weapon-army blade of light sailed true to its target: the vulnerable neck of the cannibal software. And for a hopeful, wasted moment, the sword sunk deep into the flesh of the biomechanical fiend.

Aki didn't have time to celebrate. By the time realization reached the now-widened eyes of Ciel.exe, the eldritch horror had torqued the saber with a flex of its shoulders. The weight of the goliath's gesture sent grim fissures spiraling throughout the brilliant aquamarine edge as if it were nothing but rock candy to a violent child. The crevices crawled to the hilt of the blade and dematerialized the broken lifeline into the ghostly vapor of its underlying voxels. Before Ciel had the prayer of a moment to reorient herself, the ogre swatted the navi aside like a bee with a blunted stinger. A painful clack-thump preceded a newly-formed crater in the surface of the digital earth.

Ciel!!

A thousand thoughts bombarded Aki's mind at once. Was Ciel alive? Could any of them win this? Even if they did, would there be more? Were... were they all going to die? Her anxiety didn't have a chance to catch up to her fears. An injured, beaten hand erupted from the crater and levered its attached body out of the makeshift tomb. Ciel was still alive. Weakened and badly hurt, but alive.

Aki...

A barely-perceptible metallic twinge scratched at the corners of her voice. But Aki didn't care—the navi owned her full attention.

Holy Panel...

Aki couldn't afford to hesitate. With the zeal of a veteran, she ripped the battlechip out of her pack, marked by a red square surrounding a green hexagon, both encapsulated by the curve of a spiked blue circle. The battlechip slid cleanly into her Expanse Caller.

You've got it! Holy Panel, battlechip in, download!

The data instantly reached its destination in the form of a prismatic plane about twice the width of the navi's shoulders, a perfect square that shifted colors depending on how Aki looked at it. And in a move that probably surprised everyone else as much as it stunned Aki, Ciel didn't attack the colossus. Instead, she planted her feet firmly into the ground and hooked her arms upward between the virus' triceps and torso, carefully positioning its feet a step outside of the panel below her.

Now!! The navi shouted at the caravan of allies, her voice still tinted with battle damage. Her eyes lingered a moment longer on Fefnir and his flames. Kill it!!

<Snipped quote by A Ticklish Ralt>

No, they have nothing to do with roleplaying. They're automated programs and/or real people who make accounts to promote their completely 100% unrelated services/advertisements. It's rather common for any type of forum to be targeted by spam bots, even abandoned relics like old proboards, phpbb, etc. etc. forums. As far as I'm aware the guild doesn't have any current preventive measures for them outside of just banning the account, though @LegendBegins can probably correct me if I'm wrong.

@Kuro

We do have an autoban system, but bots have gotten craftier throughout the years and evade it. But it catches more than you'd expect.
