RP is up right here! Have at it! :D

Cool beans with starting Wednesday--I have work, though, so I probably won't be on till later in the evening (MST time). BUT EXCITEMENT


I'm thinking about a second character, too, but I might wait and see how things go before committing

Hey, no problem, no worries! Trust me, I'm not strict. :P

I'm going to join this if that's alright at this time.

Sure, why wouldn't it be? I checked it out and no issues here. Enjoy your trip!

Quick question. Does anyone have any opinions on where specific Guilds should be headquartered, besides the Wind Guild logically being in Skybound City? I plan on having Hadran attend a meeting of a Shadow Guild chapter (mostly to bolster appearances of unity) but if someone else is looking to use the location I'd like to incorporate that or switch spots, depending on whether it's compatible. I'm looking at Lesonia, Raya since it's the closest to Skybound and that way I don't have to worry about the logistics of "how did my character get here".

Skybound City would definitely make sense for the Wind Guild. Also, it is perfectly fine if you make Skybound City and the flying islands it sits upon move around (as long as they move together, as they are linked).

As for the Guild Headquarters, I'm thinking these:

WIND - Skybound City
FIRE - Dracora, Raya
WATER - Tydera, Underwater between Krysara and Raya (Easily accessible with Water Magic, though non-Water Guild people may need a Water Mage as an escort.
LIGHT - Constor, Dawnwood Forest, Raya
SHADOW - Syncara, Snowclaw Mountains, Krysara

Hopefully that makes sense.

Now the question is, how would Delbin reach the water guild headquarters? XD He can't swim there or else he'd break out into horrible rashes.

Bubbles! Just have Delbin surround himself in one, then use a spell to manipulate the underwater currents around him and whoosh, there you go. :)

Delbin approves. But only if he gets to blow the bubble with his blowhole.

I would be disappointed if he didn't!

Arryn is eager to begin her epic quest to save her people and her world.

OK, how's this? :3

Spoiler:

Name: Lapis
Species: Carbuncle
Gender: Male
Age: 112, which in human terms would be around 22.

Description: In his natural form, Lapis looks similar to a white furred cat, except one with a forked tail, an extra set of ears, and a red gemstone set in his forehead. In his human form, he stands at about 5' 6, with white hair that reaches halfway down his back and almost unnaturally pale skin. He wears long white robes trimmed with grey that reach down to his ankles over a slightly thin figure. And like his true form, he has a red gemstone set in the center of his forehead.

Personality: Lapis is enthusiastic about just about everything in life, such as randomly twirling like a ballet dancer every so often just to enjoy the feeling of air whirling past him. He is quite often appears lost in his own thoughts, mostly daydreaming about dragons. Though he appears mostly friendly and carefree, he is also slightly paranoid from reading of the various courtly intrigue of the past, to the point of refusing to eat anything he didn't make entirely by himself, for fear that it might be poisoned, which has had the side effect of making him an excellent chef. He is quite curious, and spend most of his time researching anything he can in the local library. He also has a fascination with dragons, and it is his dream to someday travel to the Dragonrise Mountains and see the home of the dragons with his own eyes. He also has a sadistic streak that comes out while fighting the Platinum Crusade, whom he hates with his whole being for attacking the dragons, and believes deserve no mercy in return for their despicable acts.

History: For most of his life, Lapis lived with the rest of his tribe in the Windsong Forrest. It was a comfortable life, free of danger, every day as leisurely as the last. One day however, while Lapis was out gathering food, a great shadow fell upon him. Looking up in wonder, he saw the silhouette of a great beast outlined against the sun. Lapis was entranced by the being, and upon returning home he related what he had seen to the rest of his tribe. He discovered that the creature was known as a dragon, and that they lived in a land far away. Unfortunately, this was all he was able to discover, as the other carbuncles were of the mindset that nothing outside the forest concerned them, and thus took no effort to learn about anything of the rest of the world.
After that day, Lapis became restless. The leisurely life he lived now seemed boring, as his mind was time and time again drawn towards the majestic dragon. Many times he would stop what he was doing and just daydream about meeting a dragon in person, imagining what it would be like, to speak to a being that could soar through the skys with such ease. Over time, he began to wonder what other things existed in the world, eventually deciding to leave the forest and explore the outside world. The others tried to stop him at first, but Lapis was uncharacteristically stubborn. Eventually they let up, and taking only a bag of gold dropped in the forest by a traveler long ago, he left to discover what the lands had in store for those willing to look.
Using the shapeshifting spell that he had learned as a precaution long ago, Lapis took on the form of a human and visited a nearby village. Though at first he got many strange looks, his enthusiasm and friendliness, not to mention he generosity with gold, caused him to be accepted quickly. He stayed in the local tavern, and after discovering the library, spent almost every day there, taking in as much information as he could. While he meant to leave after a few days, days became weeks, and weeks became months, and pretty soon he was a permanent fixture of the village. After a while, the gold he had taken with him began to run out, so he got a job as chef in the tavern, where his meals were met with huge success. Working in the tavern allowed Lapis to hear many tales from the travelers that passed through, and thus he was always aware of the latest news from all around the land. When he learned of king Vrell's attack on the dragons, he was stunned, feeling equally horrified and enraged. As time went on, he heard of each atrocity that Vrell committed, and of the alliance of guilds that opposed him, and decided that he could sit idly by no longer, packing his things, and heading off to search out and join the Light guild to help the rebellion end this madness as soon as possible.

Guild: Light. Being a Carbuncle, Lapis is naturally adept in certain forms of Light magic, specifically emitting a light bright enough to temporarily blind people. He also has a built-in ability to sense if a person means to do him harm, though it doesn't work so well in human form.

Likes: Dragons, Comfortable robes, Freshly baked bread, Books.
Dislikes: The Platinum Crusade, Monotony, Forrest, People who try to push their opinions onto others.
Other: As a Carbuncle, Lapis doesn't actually speak, but can telepathically project his intended meaning into others minds, which work out the same, only with less room for misunderstandings. Also, he does his best not to let people know he's not really human.

Anything need changing?

[Noblejanobii]

Word to the wise, do not just google "Carbuncle". Google "Carbuncle Final Fantasy" or "Carbuncle Mythology". *shivers*

WOOOOOOOO

Omigosh, if Lapis ever meets Valryssa... xD



Real quick, I have this idea for a teleportation spell for Fire Guild members--I'm calling it Kindred Flames for now, and it creates a warp between two points by splitting a certain magical flame in two. Walking through one spits you out wherever the other flame is. The problems with this method involve having to carry the second flame away to other points, and the flames have to be bonfire-size in order for people to go through. So typically, these flames are set up in places that are sure footholds of the Circle. Typically. Also, you can only go through them one at a time, so they're typically just used for small groups.

Pros, however: you can cover your trail real easily by extinguishing the flames, cutting off teleportation of the flames. (one side of the flame goes out, they both go out).

But yeah, is this idea okay with you guys?
