Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

As a GM who struggles to keep his players posting through constant pestering on another site, I understand how you feel. To lose a player is pretty horrible. So yeah, I'm going to ensure that I'll be as active as possible.


Thank you very much!

There was indeed five if I remember correctly. Also, I asked before in the PM about the Magic Games if we could do 4 - 5 since not every guild we have has a lot of members, so we went 4. But who knows, it might change if we have enough people to have teams of five.


Hmm. Frenzy Plant and Phoenix Wing can definitely do five. If you don't count lady Jack or Prince, then Dragon Fang has only two. Goldenlaws has four. But then again I think there was a rule against dark guilds joining, though that didn't stop Raven Tail. I don't know who else might be participating.

Character's aren't difficult to make, though. We've got the Fairy Tail (protag team) and Lamia Scale (rivalry competition) down via Phoenix Wing and and Frenzy Plant. Goldenlaws could easily take the position of Raven Tail (dark guild antagonists), and I'm kinda seeing Dragon Fang as Blue Pegasus (also rivalry competition). With those out of the way, the only ones left in the anime were ones that never really stood a chance--Mermaid Heel, Quatro Cerberus, Twilight Ogre, so on. I don't know who'd take the position of deadly-serious competition from Sabertooth.

I might be willing to whip up another guild, the one that Fleo previously belonged to, that split because of a sort of civil war as I mentioned in posts previous. I really enjoyed making Frenzy Plant. That's not to say that I'm going to put the same amount of effort into a new guild as Frenzy Plant however.
Anything that needs my attention?


In the anime, weren't there six mages per team in the Games?
Waiting for Prince before I post again. Not rushing you or anything, just saiyan.

Sorry, I'm a bit busy right now but I did get to see most of the first post on the PM.

If you do introduce them, could you probably please do it after the time skip. It feels like enough has already happened for one day and would prefer a new day to start.

And what do you by "what the deal with Shutler"? As in, what exactly are you curious about?


Sure, no problem. By my question, I meant where is he, what is he doing right now? I haven't seen much of him.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

Well I'm looking forward to Fleo's reaction to Nolan. xD


It'll be interesting. I will wait for Life before I reply however.

If Expolar approves of Frenzy Plant, I might be able to steer a small group of their members through Magnolia for interaction.

@Zarkun

Pms sent. I hope you like reading awesome stuff.

By the way, expolar, what's the deal with Shutler Wake right now?
You know, I had to submit my guild for all the GMs to critique. Shouldn't it work that way across the board?


Ah, I had forgotten about that. I will personally PM the other two moderators my information.
@Lugubriousive read the characters for FP and they all seem okay.

Okay. I'm too lazy to, tired and sick TK read the OOC anything that needs my attention?


Nice! I just have two more sheets to post to bring my member count up to 29.
@Lugubrious
What exactly is the Frenzy Plant Guild like? I might be interested in putting a character that I have in mind in it if she fits with the guild.


I'll go ahead and post the 'orientation' bit now...

Orientation
Overall, Frenzy Plant best fits the description of Lawful Neutral. The guild doesn't go out of its way to perform acts of heroism, but it has standards of workmanship that keep it far beyond Dark Guild territory. It takes jobs that provide benefits, whether material or social, to Frenzy Plant and its members. Frenzy Plant is sometimes known as a mercenary guild, despite its standards. Though it has not yet happened, should a catastrophic event unite the forces of light against evil, Frenzy Plant will show up to add their strength.

The members of Frenzy Plant are a a close-knit bunch, with largely comradely bonds rather than familial bonds, earned through shared experiences and victories. That does not mean, however, that more friendly bonds haven't developed, in one way or another. As a whole, the guild itself is very combat-oriented , built like a miniature army rather than a typical employer. Fighting skill is of paramount importance, and new members are only admitted after certain trials. Tactician Sanders prides himself on the fact that however quirky his soldiers, each and every one is a capable fighter when it comes down to it.

To enter, a candidate must defeat or tie one of the C-rank wizards. By defeating (but not tying) one of a higher rank, that rank can be gained. The challenged individual gets to pick where and how the challenge is conducted, and it isn't always strictly combat, though combat is almost always involved one way or another. Frenzy Plant's lifestyle is conducive to neither children nor in-guild families. In fact, to enter, a candidate must be over twelve years of age.

Hey Lug, is it dark in Fleo's room?


There's a small window that hasn't been installed yet, so no.
