I know, I know... we wanted to get HotN up and running again... But at the same time, it doesn't really have the same kinda appeal for RPing to me as a full-board RP... So I was just wondering if anyone here was interested in joining up with Fairy Tail Guild.

I have a whole form from the site I have to post... hold on... here it is.

A Fairy Tail Forum Roleplay

The times in the world are dark. Dark guilds and feral beasts roam the land, wreaking havoc and causing mayhem. With the military of the Kingdom underfunded and understaffed, it falls on the hands of the mage guilds, organizations such as Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, or Blue Pegasus, composed of mages and wizards for hire, to restore peace and justice. Illegal Dark Guilds like Grimoire Heart, Tartaros, and Raven Tail also exist, filled with those who aim to fulfill their ambitions no matter the cost. Will the land of Fiore flourish with peace, or will it be ruled by the ambitions of men? Choose your side.


  • Fairy Tail Guild (FTG) is set in an Alternate Universe to the actual manga/anime. However, everything is pretty much the same - it's just that the characters from the manga/anime never existed.

  • FTG is a free form style Roleplay where you can design and create anything you want, from unusual, quirky characters to new, unique types of magic.

  • FTG is a devoted site with committed members and staff are extremely dedicated. They have a lot of experience under their belt and have created a thorough system for a Fairy Tail Roleplay.

Making up characters is hard. *goes back to staring at hardly touched character sheet*

Heheheh... I know that. I spend either way too long or not long enough on making my characters... and with this, it kinda makes it hard to just have a fluid background which develops as you play, since they have rules about how you can change your profile (it's to keep things more structured and less confusing) So... yeah.

It's one of those things that is either right for you... or not.

I just need to come up with a decent kind of magic. Everything will flow into place from there.

Well, that's the fun part, innit?

I wish you luck, and warn you to think about not just the big picture, but the small one as well... I ended up screwing myself over because I wanted to make a magic that SEEMED underpowered at first, for RP reasons and basically made me into a squib when it came to fights...

Problem is I have a lot of characters with magic or magic-like powers, so I've been rummaging through them to see if there are any I could easily convert to fit the Fairy Tail universe without seeming overpowered or totally out of place. On top of that I've always presumed that I need to come up with specific spells if I go with a caster type mage (like Grey or Natsu) so I have an "incantation" to call out in order to cast spells. I need to research into existing characters and the rules behind spells further.

Well, if it helps... We have all kinds of magic. Hell, we have one guy who's essentially Gaara from Naruto, another who summons books, more people who are demon-based magicks, and of course there's the exquip...

That being said, nothing's really out of place here anymore, because of the user-driven nature... and the Incantation thing is kinda thrown by the wayside for a lot of people (in fact, when I started with using it, some characters even noted how old-fashioned and/or quaint it was that I still used spellwords)

Well then. Seems like there's not many limits to be had outside of "You can't blow up the planet" level restrictions and the stat system.

I think that makes it easier. Still going to look into it a bit. Should finish the character soon.

Hrm. Well, IDK if you've registered or not yet... but do it. And post in the Happy St. Patrick's day topic. You get free stuff. All you gotta do is pick a number this time, so it doesn't require a character to be completed.

Free stuff is free stuff, and it might even give you something more to work with.

A lot of times, the events on-site are story based (RP-based, I guess?), or at the very least involve submitting some sorta writing submission. This time though, it's just a random number generator deciding on prizes (luck o' the irish and all that)

The March event isn't over yet, so... yeah. Post there.

Oooh I'll do that as soon as I can. Also, they suggest 6-9 lines for the character description on character sheets. Is it fine to present that as a roleplay paragraph?

Heh. I mean, I don't see why not... My old version of Julian's was that Now, though, it's a bit clunky since I changed so much from the old version...

Fairchild (Julian Rousseau)
 
Tall, pale and slender, Julian sticks out sorely amongst most of the crowds he finds himself in. However, despite this, people often find that they don't remember seeing him, because, despite his size, his face is average-looking enough to be forgotten. If he were to hear this, Julian would just grin, his teeth slightly crooked, run his hand through his thick, dishwater-blond mop-top, and laugh. Then he'd spin on his heel and walk away, his thin frame settling into a comfortable gait of a man with no worries. As he left, you'd see him reach a dark, leather-clad hand into his breast-coat pocket, a tattoo peeking out from beneath his cuff. From his coat, he'd pull out a pack of "Acalyphan Fortune" cigarettes, before striking a match with his lacrima left arm. In the dark of the night, the glow would illuminate his dull purple eyes, and, before the smell of smoke even reached you, he'd be gone.


So, short answer? Yes. Yes you can. So long as it's descriptive enough.

cost me a whole truck of money though... His hand got cut off mid-forearm and... well... yeah... it was rough... I had to pay for a replacement, and it also acts like a tazer, heheheheh

Holy crud. So it's not something that you can just start off with then I presume. XD I suppose I could do a magic that'll eventually start manifesting physically on the body. Kinda like how Dragon Slayers eventually start to get scale formations and such due to that special mode of theirs.

I would say, first, just sign up to the board. The events are time-sensitive, so even if you don't have a character up, it's suggested that you do that ASAP.

Seriously. Like, I have no idea when that event's gonna end. Could be tonight, could be tomorrow, could be a week from now. It was for March, but it's still open, for some reason...

Yeah, so seriously. Post.
