Hey guys, this is your VC. I'm going to be attempting to pull through with this RP, so over the course of the next few days you may start to see some subtle changes in organization. We have a new home page, made by yours truly.
So here's the thing: I have a great plotline in mind that would be way easier to run/manage. All my characters will be NPCs, there would be a static villain, and such and such. So in this case there would be no... erm... reinventing the plot, how shall we say.
If so, you can all relax, because I'm not going to delete your character profiles. However they will not have met any of the other characters as we are starting fresh. If you wish to scrap your character and make a new one, or just change the spirit but keep the shaman, or vice versa, you may do so.
NONE OF THIS HAPPENS UNTIL I GIVE THE GO, OKAY?
I just don't want people suddenly modifying things without the actual RP being renovated first. So I set up a poll. Can you guys please voice your opinions on this matter? You would make a wolf very happy indeed.

Maybe while you work on the guild, we maybe close it down? I mean, put everything on hold. The sooner we change it fully, in whatever way you have in store, the better for the guild.
Lol, no more reinventing the plot? Awww, I had a similar thing in my own guild, where we have a topic for plot suggestions and we ended up with a mad witch and an insane weapon(It`s a Soul Eater guild) destroying the city XD.
Anyway, if you intend on having your plot work out, maybe let us know the details, so we don`t end up messing it up some how? Or better yet, if we know the details we could give our own advice to improve it somehow, if possible ^^
I don`t get what you mean by "If so" however. You mean if Night lets you/doesn`t reply, don`t you?
Anyway, yay^^, I adore my Allura character, but I feel her personality was getting indescisive, so if we start over, I could make her personality more specifically how I intended it to be to begin with.
As for comepletely rebooting the storyline/plot. Sure, I suppose. ....Not 100% on that to be honest......I don`t like the attention I had, I don`t like taking over liek that, it makes me seem like I`m trying to be the "main character", with the "Save Allura Arc", but I like her history(most of it). I still want her brother involved somehow.......
Anyway, surprised everyone voted without posting....

Yeah... Allura has a great potential to be an interesting character, but she turned out to be a little bit of a dry Sue. Catherine's a little too mature for her skin and doesn't fit in amongst the other kids, so I think I'll make her an actual NPC/teacher. I love Xorakke; but he gets little to no character development ever since the story took a wild leap. To make the characters truly shine; as well as a new spirit ally I have in mind, what I need is a reconstruction. Anyhow, to prevent the guild from spiraling off course, like I said: I'll play the NPC's, kind of guiding the story along in the right direction. This RP won't be able to run smoothly with no direction from a mod, therefore that is what I shall provide. Playing an actual active character would be too much of a hassle for me. >.> Crimson, thanks again for all the input. I do need someone to bounce ideas off of. I'm not going to leak much about the new plot to make the Role playing a lot more original in the core, so that the characters don't know what's going to happen and can therefore not godmod later on. (In other words, if you're playing the dragon and your opponent is invisible, just because you know it's invisible doesn't mean the dragon does! - DnD reference here) Guys, don't be shy. Voice your opinions if we haven't said them all already. I love suggestions. Actually, I love it when people disagree with me so I can see the faults in my own thinking. That doesn't mean you get to take shots at me for fun. I'm looking at you, Bob. (( I hope you guys like the homepage... :3))

Homepage is awesome Star^^
Alright then, but if you need help, being the NPC`s, let me know. Even without an RPC being the NPC`s can get hard.
Anytime. *pout* Alright, we`ll just have to wait and see about the plot then. ;p

Hmm... Well I definetly trust you with the plot, and one person being all of the NPCs isn't a bad idea... And remaining to play as Jeremy some more sounds like fun... I wonder if Allura and Jeremy will get together in the new plot... Hm... Alright, I'll trust you on this one Star.
P.S. Kick*** homepage.
I've been wondering though, are we aloud to have a second character?

@JFK: Yes, you can have more than one character. ^^ Besides, I think this way the RP can be a whole lot more enjoyable and a heck lot more stable. It NEEDS that support from an active leader. And since I love this guild I really want to help it.. well... breathe, yeah. ^^
@Crim: Thanks for the offer. Once I'm done with the plot and I tektek all the staff I may hand out certain roles to others if they are interested. I won't force you to take one; just the ones you feel you could have a good time RPing.
Thanks for the homepage love. ^^

Shiny new homepage. I like, I like! eek
I think that it would be nice to have a guided plot line, with less confusion. It would be great to have more of a... direct approach per se. (Plot spoiler please?) Also, there would be more control if there were more control over the teachers and the NPCs. The current ones either role play the classes and then end (never to be touched upon again). I'll help with anything else that you need.

Until the 19th of June, I`ll only be on during the weekends, as a warning. I`ll try to keep Allura busy/asleep during the week so I don`t mess up anything.
If we play more than one character....well, t`would be confusing and difficult.....Sure, I wanna try too^^. Even if it means four different personalites x3
I`ll try to get my characters ready by tomorrow. Even if I can`t roleplay that often, I still want to input what I can.
As for the topics, should we remove them? Delete or move. I mean, it`ll be confusing-ish. And, because I`m selfish, it`d be easier for me to catch up on what you guys do during the week.
Any suggestions regarding Allura? I want to know what exactly went wrong other than what I know. I love second opinions.

Sorry about the absence, the workers who are doing the landscaping for my home accidentally cut the internet wire. >.>
Alright, a few things to clear up:
Topics will be moved once I have written down the characters and plot and such; so we can still milk the last bits of fun from here to keep us busy until I launch the new RP. I will move the topics into an "Archive" section, just in case we want to go back to the old version.
Crim, if you want a second opinion, I'll PM you some notes which I think could improve the stability of your character. ^^
Alright, how about some updates? Here's some things you can expect in the newer RP:
-An actual antagonist.
-Origins of the school; it gathered the young shamans with the most potential to train them for a reason (not revealed yet for plot reasons kukukuku...)
-Plot twists yay!
-A LEVEL UP SYSTEM.
-HOW ABOUT STATS FOR YOUR SPIRIT AND HOW THEY CAN GET STRONGER (reiyoku) I will be providing the skeleton, so don't worry for now.
-Missions/Quests/Tasks from NPCs to help the local spirits and interact with other shaman villages. You may need to Hyoui-Gattai with some spirits along the way.
-Teaching how to refine your oversoul; and it can upgrade over time. (From spirit to weapon to armor)
-More in-depth combos, linking two or more shamans' furyoku together and dangerous penalties if it severs.
-On that note, there will be definite penalties if you use a spirit that does not match up with your respective element that you were trained to do.
-There may be a mole in the school cast. But you don't know that.
I think that's all I've structured so far. Mods; if I start doing weird things in the mod forum, please don't post in the threads. I'll open another one for the discussion and suggestions regarding to the profile skeletons and the various systems for battling and such.
There may also be things like... say your character has to climb a mountain for some reason, I don't know. (Well, Ryu had to follow the Yamato no Orochi river.) If this were the current RP, I would be like:
Catherine climbed the mountain.
Furthermore, in the newer, you may have to roll to see if your strength is able to compare with the task. (So more meanings to the stats). Say she's not strong enough or something. Hyoui-Gattai! Her stats are now far stronger with Xorakke's, and she can probably climb the mountain with a successful roll.
Mind you, these are all scrap ideas. If anyone has suggestions, fire away. ^^

Alright, understood regarding timing
Please send said notes.^^
Out of the list of updates, I have only problems with the following:
-The level up system. From what you, jfk and night have told me in the past, that was too confusing. Or will it be a new method?
-Missions sound good, but that`s more of a ninja thing right? It`s set in modern day, so maybe that would contrast too much.
Other than those, great. I love the idea of your spirit leveling up too.
As for the idea of definite penalties if your spirit doesn`t match up; do you mean personality-wise or attacks-wise?

It is going to be a little different, so there are no confusions and the rewards are more definate.
I suppose I didn't word it correctly. A shaman's job is to connect this world with the next and help the tortured spirits. I mean, that in order to test your skills you may have to help a spirit or solve a haunting or fight a demon/beast that has been plaguing a nearby place.
And I meant both. As in your alignment (good shaman + evil spirit = Erm... really?) is the worst penalty, and the attacks are minor. If you recall Horohoro fighting Blocken, he used the spirits of the Ice Men team; all of which were water/ice based like him. Horohoro also commented how hard it was to use Badbh. The five were able to use the elemental spirits because they corresponded with their elements.
In other words if you're an ice shaman who's used to pulling heat from the moisture to create it, and you've trained this way, using a lightning spirit will cause disruptions and penalties.
Hope that cleared things up.

Ah, makes much more sense. The excorsism type thing sounds fun.
Hmm, well, what kind of penalties? banning, loss of stats...?
I think I`ll only have one character though, as I`ve enough roleplays to tend to during a single weekend as it is :/
What suggestions do you have for Allura?

Sounds good, be good. I'll make it obvious who's who and won't screw up the use of two characters. (Or rather four including the spirits. Luckily Roca doesn't talk.) I missed the missions to be awesome, so yeah... yay. Gailan appreciates being stronger. I was hoping Rich and Jeremy would be able to create a mudslide, that'd be cool. I hope the level up system doesn't involve to many fights, but reather training, or going to school... (Please Dice Lord, my character doesn't pick fights.) Has anyone else noticed that we don't have someone with an angel or a ranged weapon?

@Crim: No, I meant penalties as in damage penalties. That or you'd have to roll something if it's an alignment thing to see if it will mesh.
I'll PM you later when I have the time. This weekend is going to be super busy for me.
@JFK: Experience gained from class participation, missions and fights will be relatively the same. So you could do no fights at all and still level up in the same amount of time a primarily offensive shaman would do.
And yes, I noticed that. It would be interesting if we had some diversity... hopefully my NPC's will do some justice to that. ^^
By the way, I love your new character's bio. I'll be looking forward to seeing him in the RP. ^^
