In SoL, the 'goals' become the drama and interpersonal connections/histories players make with each other. Plus setting in in places like a school/college for example give you a timeline to work with.

About
Been at this game for a good while now. Starting RPing at the tender age of 15 back when Bebo was a thing. A year later I found myself forum Roleplaying and haven't really looked back since. Over these past ten years I have done practically every kind of RP you could imagine from Nation RPs and Arena RPs to 1x1s and Large group RPs. My last RP hobby was fighting RPs, which I have now decided to leave behind in order to pursue more SoL style Rps.

Outside of RP I am an aspiring writer, despite being terrible with words, as well as an avid gamer. If I am not on discord with the Guild or RPing in some way, I am probably on either my PlayStation or on Steam. Moved into D&D and ended up starting a podcast that has been an interesting journey.

@Stormflyx I am happy with that sheet. It fits in enough to not stand out. So throw her over into the characters tab. And if you know anyone else who is up for an advanced RP then throw them over!

However in order to preserve balance, i am going to have to embargo Non-Magic and Non-Aligned Characters from here on in until we fill up the ranks some more.
Also @The Angry Goat If you have another Idea feel free to apply, or you can try your hand at the mist idea.
@Stormflyx Not a concept i have thought of admittedly. However with the right character sheet i would be willing to accept, show us what you can do. And welcome to the forum.
Thank you for re-applying @David Gorgon. As of right now I am still not convinced personally that the CS is upto a standard I would deem appropriate for this level of RP.

Unless @codex is happy to over rule given that David would be on your team.
@solaris Go ahead, Shoot. I believe I am in a different timezone to all of you, so that is why I don't reply right away most of the time.

@codex Rose is looking really good! Two things though:

1. Aloysius created the Dark Shadow when he was in his late teens, bout 19/20 roughly. Being 24 now it makes the Dark Shadow 4/5 years old. If the Dark Shadow killed Roses parents at aged 12 it meant Aloysius would have had to have created the Dark Shadow at age 9. And while he was a spoilt evil brat, he wasn't that evil at that age!

2. The guild has been run as a dynasty pretty much for all of its existence. So her parents would have likely have been it's leaders before her. Rose to that point wouldn't have had to risen up the ranks as it would have been given to her upon her parents death.

3. As leader of the Guild you can have more than just elemental powers with a single affinty. The guild leader is supposed to pretty much be the strongest Magic User in the world due to many generations of breeding and inheritance. So splash out a little bit more and beef her up magic wise. She is supposed to the one that everyone listens to mainly out of fear of being destroyed. It just so happens that The Guild isn't evil.

Right that's it. Also it happens that was more than a couple of points.

In terms of Co-GM though @codex you are more than welcome to have the slot if you want it.
@David Gorgon Feel free to give it another shot. Most GMs expect character sheets to be well thought out and deeply written. The Character sheet also acts as evidence to the GM that you are competent and have sufficient writing skill.

@codex To that end i am adding a Personality section to the character sheet.
@David Gorgon Welcome to the Site. I just saw your welcome post. Looking at your current character sheet i would have to say decline the join request i am afraid.

The Bio section is too short sadly. I was hoping for a paragraph or two at the start. I know my own character isn't a shining example however that is a work in progress. If you would like to edit your character sheet and re-apply i am ok with that. But if you are struggling i would suggest trying a free roleplay first before jumping into the advanced section.

@codex That is fine. I am thought i had put it in my description of the RP the Guild is headed by a female, but i wrote it at 2am, so who the hell knows haha.

@codex This is going to make me sound snobbish, but I was hoping that the leader of the Guild would be a female. Silly i know ahaha.

@The Angry GoatIt's great to hear you are intrested to some degree. Hopefully you jump on board.
@codex , That is great. I am glad to hear someone is interested! I have just put up my Character up for the leader of the Dark Shadow. Thought i might expand on it a bit more as more people hopefully join.

"You have no idea of the power and influence I wield"

Name: Aloysius Leighton
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Alignment: Dark Shadow
Rank within Organisation: Glorious Leader

Birthmark Shape

Location of BirthmarkLocated on his upper back, left shoulder. It is roughly 10 centimetres across and 15 centimetres tall
Magical Abilities:Aloysius has the power of the wind. He can create gusts of wind from seemingly nothing, from small gusts to hurricane strength winds. He has also started to learn the basics of creating wards, able to protect himself from incoming damage.

Place of Birth: Cambridge, Great Britain
Currently Residing: New York, United States of America
Personality: Devilish, Overconfident and conniving would be the three best words to describe Aloysius as he got older. Proud of his heritage and snobbish to anyone who isn't, his evil streak has gotten worse over the past few years. He has developed a sadistic streak, enjoying mental torture and torment. Almost always bearing a grin or a smirk, Aloysius has convinced himself of his superiority over others and while this can be true in most cases, it has caused him to get into some perilous situations in the past.

History/Bio: Born to a British Mother and Japanese Father, Aloysius learnt of his powers from a young age courtesy of his mother who possessed magic abilities herself. Growing up Aloysius was taught to be proud of his magical powers and to look down on non magic users with disdain, including his father who indeed was a non magic user. These feelings that his mother induced in him carried on stirring and brooding inside him as he approached his late teens. He saw the plight of his kind. The seclusion they had endured.

His father had worked hard on building his family small arms business to global fame, spending most of his time away from his dear wife and son. When Aloysius turned 18 his father mysteriously died and his mother was looking forward to gaining the family business for herself. However when the will was read out his father had split his fortune and his business equally between mother and son. His mother, furious that she hadn't got it all kicked her son out of the family manor and commandeered the business for herself.

The duo became estranged for two years and during this time, Aloysius travelled the world and started to meet fellow magic users. During these trips abroad he began to convince other magic users with regarding to his views on the magic realm. These trips however managed to gain the attention of the Guild who eventually tried to strong arm Aloysius and get him to stop. After refusing to back down a battle occurred and Aloysius killed several Guild members. His first ever crime and the start of many more, Aloysius decided enough was enough. It was time to deal with The Guild and bring the glorious magic users back to the position of power that they deserved.

Retreating back to home, he revealed his intentions to his mother. While she agreed in what he was trying to achieve, she didn't want to take part in any of it. She did however have no issue with using the family business as a cover, or to finance the operation. Taking advantage of the business contacts of the company, Aloysius travelled the world once more meeting with politicians and wealthy business men. After several trips he had formed the Dark Shadow; the organisation that would destroy The Guild. With the influence of his family business he was able to gather information all over the globe, and now he was finally ready for open war.


Relationships

Name: Rose Miller
Relationship:Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis
Characters opinion of them:While they have never met, everyone knows the famous Rose Miller, leader of the Guild. Rose is everything that Aloysius despises about the magic realm. Though Aloysius is not stupid and has avoided direct engagement against Rose because of her power.
