Fairy Tail Guild RP Current News


Hey everyone, it's me, your Lord and Savior, your Once and Future King, and your new Admin-for-Life Unlimit Sendo. I'm here to drop some turnbuckle-diving elbows and awesome news. There's been some relatively small updates to rulings regarding summon familiars and single summons. Additionally, there's also been a pretty big update in regards to the AP shop which reorganizes it and adds a ton of new stuff. You can find that in the AP Shop section under Item Creation. Check it out.

Further details upon reverse.


Now that the small RP reason is concluded I'll reach the details of this project; I am trying to make a new character with a few differences from my previous. Currently I have fallen into the trap of entering meet and greets and loosing too much of an overarching direction with Daine; I still love the character but I nee something to sate by need for a story with more meaning beyond a few simple threads pushed together for AP. With that being said I'm not generally opposed to doing things to make a character strong, but not just for the point of adding more pluses to Armour or a weapon; or making my fists hit harder against the multitude of meaningless feral wildlife.

Now with the rant over I'll get to the finer details about the project. I am going to be making a new character; basic details about his personality and the sorts will be listed below, but generally he is still in the works in terms of his general attitude; but the history ect. is set in stone. This character will be story driven, diving right in on day one with an arc I'm almost finished planning as well as a few points to build upon in the future. But sure an Arc is all well and good, but what I want with this character is to have meaningful interactions and progressive relationships with other people; this means that I'll need long term RP partners for this guy. While I am thinking forward with it, I don't want to get too ahead of myself and want to limit it to one definite partner to form what will be the starts of a team, a dynamic Duo; this duo may grow in the future but what I want is to work through the initial arc and some other plot lines with the person, solidifying a friendship before opening up too far.

So if I haven't lost people with my convoluted way of talking around a simple subject, I'll try to spell it out clearly. I am looking for a person who has a new character or is willing to make a character for this project to build up from stage one together, having an overarching plot through all threads if not most threads; delving into the personal backgrounds of the pair as well as building up to joining guilds and making plans for the future. Exciting, right?

But now comes the niggly stuff, kind of like rules, but more guide lines I've thought through to make this really impactful
  • Set Timeline - This meaning that threads follow after each other, and for the most part, most will not be in the grey area where things are happening at about the same time but with no real connection. So each new thread leads on directly from the previous or with some defined time gap.
  • Geographical consistency - I know magic and all exists and people can teleport too, but I want to have this leading on from the timeline thing. So if the characters are in a town in North Fiore, their threads center around that area, and unless they were to say get an uneventful train ride from a town to another between threads, they would have to travel from that area in some manner mid RP.
  • Arcs and Filler Threads - Sure I want to have numerous arcs through the character's progression, but not everything will be serious, think to the anime for instance, they have periods of deep story plot followed by either short story points that could be addressed via small threads or some some things that are still immersive but are just a lot more fun in terms of plot.
  • Availability - I'm not expecting 24/7 posting, I'm not expecting a post once every month. What I do hope for is a happy intermediate where myself and anyone else participating can post at a relaxed speed, not having to battle for 'muse' because the plots are interesting enough to take in numerous directions; this being said, the same goes for myself I'll post as much as comfortable for the other person.
    To expand on this point too, I want the character's involved to be focused mainly around the 'team' interaction and so grow together at a similar pace, but at the same time I'm not saying only RP together and never with anyone else. Using breaks in arcs or even lulls between threads to fit in random stuff and meet 'n' greets.
  • A Growing World - Sure Fiore has a 'fixed' size technically, but the site has the ability for people to be creative, and why make up cool things and just leave them, using the encyclopedia and some memory, I want to be able to go back to places we've been in past stories and further develop NPCs and have a very dynamic world, where things don't just grind to a halt after we finish or simply vanish.

  • These are all the points I can think of currently, if there is anything else people would want to add, question or dispute I'm open to changing stuff around, these are more guidelines than anything else, but until day 1 they are flexible guidelines within reason.

And don't be fooled, I have more to talk about, I've been writing out a sort of a plan the past few days between helping out decorating with my family. The next big thing to talk about is my to-be character as well as what I'm looking for in character's not just the person behind the curtain. To start out my character is not up yet as a WiP, I have most of the details written out with some good plot points to be talk about in the first arc which will revolve around the meeting and my character unfortunately, it was easier to use that as a starting point and come here with plans on the board rather than listing a few vague ideas for a pick and mix of people.

My character is going to be a male of Approx 15-19, preferably the upper end but I'm able to move it up and down to match my partner's age within reason so it doesn't look too strange for the pair to be moving around the country; sure it could be comic. Moving on from that, his personality is up in the air as well as name. I have a clear vision for his Face Claim which will be shown when he lives. But the few things I'd like to say about personality is that He'll be rather set in his ways and Neutral/Dark (Neutral being his listed but as for what people would say on initial judgment, more likely dark) Not that he's going around killing people and burning stuff, Yet maybe? His history will be tied into the Arc I'll explain later.

For what I'm looking for in a partner, I'll put this in a list again.
  • Teens - Not that I can't pull it out either way for some really cool ideas, but I'd rather stay in the standard age range, mainly because it's easier to go with.
  • Mage - No questions here, The note at the top is the initial RP stimulus for the Arc and well I want to join the same guild later on.
  • A malleable character - Sure you're character can be the coolest thing ever with a super amazing backstory we can delve into but I don't want a god to RP with or a Sheep. I want a character that can be shaped for the future. Able to grow as the story develops, gives some friction to my own character for nice RP arguments and generally a 3D Personality.
  • A backstory or ability to move forward. I do want this story to grow on itself and I am kind of taking centre strange with the first arc, but I want a character that can have stuff in the future revolve around them, I don't want it the one man backstory and then everything we do from then on.
  • New-ish - This point is a bit greyish in title. I want character's that are yet developed, say below 15-20SP range, preferably lower. I want to start from the ground floor and work up together, sure it's nice to RP with solid characters that have been honed from day 1 on the site; but I want to start my own Day 1 with someone. I am very much open for people creating characters for this if they want to. If you are up for this, I'd even give say a month for things to be put up and approved.

Once again, the list isn't inclusive, and I'm open to anyone who brings something really cool forward for it; but I'd say the last point is the main one on it.

Moving on from character's I'd like to also say I've got a 5 part arc planned in a good level of detail, enough twists and turns to keep the other half thinking about things, enough ground covered to make it seem progressive but at the same time not so much that things feel overly rushed, to point out the very-very bare bones of the arc and the family dynamic of my character, I'll once again descend with a list (Note. I have a very detailed version, but saving it for typing up to be approved, to keep the cool twists a secret).

  • Ceremonial Temple based Family - But instead of normal rituals, they are more keepers of a cool mountain Grave Yard.
  • There will be numerous places explored from the Mountain Temple and Town, wide open plains and wild-west sorts of towns, coming back to a few of the places more than once.
  • Enough action to keep it interesting, but spread enough through the threads to make it different.
  • And the whole letter at the top, it relates to a rite of passage for this family, my character will be undertaking, accompanied by the partner and future hopefully best friend.

If all of that sounds interesting and not super cliché to you, then I hope I've got you hooked on the idea because I need someone who will be hooked enough to go along with this crazy scheme, and all of that.

So, Here is my timeline. For about a week from posting this up, I'll be looking for people to comment on this thread and list their interest as well as a few other items listed blow. After that week i'll pick a person, maybe even two if I'm so stuck between people to start this thing up with. Then depending on if new characters have to be made, ect. I'll have between 2days- 1 month, more based upon the other person that my own to-be mage. Who will be made in the next week. After that's done the first arc will be started after it's approval and we will work on from there. Near the completion of the arc, the partner and myself will talk through the next steps and plan accordingly

  • You're interested.
  • A Link to your character + Some detail where you are planning on heading with it.
  • If you would make a character for this, then please list the main details, such as age, gender, personality points. Enough to get a good read of where you are headed with it. The more info the better, but unlike me, try to be succinct.
  • Any brief ideas or comments on any of the rules/guidelines.
  • And Questions or ideas
  • And most importantly, a pun with the word Daine


I Hope to hear from people soon, Sorry for any mistakes in spelling or anything like that. Tired while writing this and no proof reading, as I am a lazy git without a night of sleep.

Hmm. I was thinking of making a new character. A female character of course. The name, I'm not sure yet. But i was thinking if making a solid script wizard, except the words would be in Hieroglyph. So this one is kinda brainy, maybe with thick glasses. She would be like Hermione Granger plus Levy McGarden. It's fine with me if she's going to be a sidekick or something. Age would be maybe a year younger than your character of course. And pun name would be Dainety. "Aren't you quite dainety?"

Link is in my signature. Two twins in need of momentum. A best friend would be nice for them to have. They're open ended, but have a couple extra plots associated with their history that need to be explored, but not too soon. Currently affiliated with Raven Tail, but aren't that active in the guild anyway. Idk if you're Da'ine to have two teens tagging along, but I'm ready to get "daine and dirty" with it.

Link to my twins is in my siggy if i haven't mentioned that already.

I am working on a character by the name Of Scarlette Primrose and I believe I already told you about her. I know she doesn't have magic yet but she has the ability to use magic and her family is full of mages. Perhaps one of the arcs in the future could be her actually finding her magic and whatnot. Anyways, I like the concept of this a lot and would love to be a part of it. This sounds Dainegerous

I'll give this another day or so for people to put down their interest; I've flooded CBox with this for half a week and I think most if not everybody has had a chance to think over it

  • Let me counts the ways on how you and your idea interest me...
  • Saiya [Last name not yet confirmed] She is going to be a native of Caleum who has traveled to Fiore to check on the status of various shrines her clan has made but failed to upkeep. Age is up for consideration though due to the face claim i'd like to keep it above 14 but younger than 20. Shes going to be a single summoner, though the way I plan on rp-ing with her is to kinda of ignore the summon despite it always being around and only include him in posts when absolutely necessary. Her personality is all there, Im open to questions. Her idea is to be a shrine maiden who has only experienced the world via books and stories people have told her. Recently taken in by a clan aimed to battle the monsters of the world, she is now traveling to gain experience and power to become useful, to whom and for what she's yet to discover.
  • I'll skype you if anything.
  • Daine. If you don't see the joke your not looking hard enough.
