Summon Masters

RECRUITING OPEN


Leo Duel School (often shortened to LDS), one of the biggest and most prestigious Duel Academies in the world. A year and a half ago, the first Pendulum Summon was performed by a youth known as Yuya Sakaki. Since then, Pendulum Summoning has become one of Leo Duel School's pillar Summoning Courses.

You are a student (or perhaps a professor) at LDS. Your life is pretty normal for the most part. Just like anyone, you strive to be the best at what you do. That may range from simply being the best of your course, or being the best in the school. You attend one of the seven LDS Summoning Courses: Tribute Summon, Special Summon (Generic), Fusion Summon, Ritual Summon, Synchro Summon, Xyz Summon, or Pendulum Summon. Of course, nothing is never as simple as it seems at LDS. But hush, I didn't say anything about that.

Ladies and gentlemen! (as Yuya Sakaki would say) I present to you, the Yu-Gi-Oh! Summon Masters Roleplay, where all forms of Summoning run amok! Firstly, let's lay down some ground rules.

Firstly, understand that we will be scripting our Duels. If using a Random Number Generator would make you more comfortable, then feel free. We will also be incorporating Action Duels into this RP. Now for some ground rules.
1) Don't power-play all the time. We understand that it's fun to obliterate our opponents in a single turn sometimes, but try to contain yourself. There will be consequences for those who overdo the unrealistic power-play strategies.
2) As this takes place in an anime setting, we will be using the anime-based 4000 LP counter rather than 8000. This also helps with not having overwhelming walls-of-text for a single Duel.
3) Follow your Yu-Gi-Oh! Rule Guide! With this said, understand that there are some new rules that came into play toward the end of ZEXAL and the beginning of ARC-V. For example: The player who has the first turn skips his/her draw phase, and two Field Spell Cards can be in play at the same time.
4) You may attend ONE (and ONLY ONE) Summon Course for the moment. That means that said course will be your major form of Summoning. This does not bar Tribute Summoning from players who focus on another form, or the Generic Special Summoning, but please try not to use an overwhelming amount of other forms.
5) We will follow the most recent TCG Advanced Format Forbidden & Limited Lists. However, I will allow each character to have ONE Forbidden Card each, and only ONE copy of that card.
6) Please stay away from using cards that were painfully rare or unique in the anime. I won't argue with someone using a Blue-Eyes, but things like Signer Dragons, Egyptian Gods, and Numbers are difficult to duplicate. If possible, please refrain from using them, as this is in the anime setting.
7) Anime-Exclusive and Manga-Exclusive cards will be available within reason. If I state one as unfair, then I will place it where appropriate on our personal Limited/Forbidden List. That said, some of them will have modified effects to make them fair.
8) During Action Duels, the Action Cards received will be RANDOMIZED. There is no exception. The reason is that there are detrimental Action Trap Cards that no one would grab if it weren't randomized. A list of Action Cards with Random Number Values can be found below.
9) RPGuild rules still apply. No exceptions.
10) Keep things rated PG (at MOST PG-13, but preferably PG). Yu-Gi-Oh! IS NOT something that should be for more mature audiences.
11) Have Fun! If you're playing an unfair deck that's not fun for anyone (*coughpropheciescough*), then why play? Please do this for entertainment, not for a 100% imaginary win-record.

*A strikethrough means we haven't heard from a certain player for an extended period of time and they appear to have left. I'm not kicking anyone out by any means.

Hmmm... I've been looking at the courses for summoning, and I have to ask, what about regular special summoning, like how armed dragon or the lightrays do it?

Brent Rytora

- Age: 14
- Grade: 9
- Summon Course: Fusion
- Record: 29 Duels / 19 Wins (66%) (Official Duels Only)
- Best Action Field: Plain Plane

Brent is a near mute introvert until he hits the Dueling stage. He hates doing anything dangerous, as he lost his father because of a Turbo Dueling accident three years ago. He finds himself typically looking after his younger sister, Gale Rytora, who seems to be the daredevil of the family. Brent has few friends, and has a hard time expressing himself. But when he steps up to Duel someone, he becomes a bullheaded, fierce and nearly fearless opponent. Well, except for his acrophobia. Brent, despite his soft voice, will protect his daring sister with his life.

---

Gale Rytora

- Age: 11
- Grade: 6
- Summon Course: Ritual
- Record: 26 Duels / 9 Wins (35%) (Official Duels Only)
- Best Action Field: Crystal Corridor

Gale is practically 100% without fear. She's by no means an outstanding Duelist, but she is never afraid to show off her agility when she starts an Action Duel. She is fueled by an entertained audience and an annoyed brother. Though Brent badgers her about her stunts being dangerous, Gale feels she knows what she is doing. Despite the enjoyment she gets from teasing her brother (as in most typical sibling relationships), she does care about him and feels guilt when he seems particularly worried about her. Because of Brent's fear of hurting his sister, Gale has won every Action Duel between the two of them. She understands his concern, but wishes he wouldn't hold back. She looks forward to one day being a famous Entertainment Duelist.

@Scarifar: The reason I didn't put "Special Summoning" as a course is because 5 of 6 of those courses are forms of Special Summoning, but I guess I could add that if you would prefer.

EDIT: Added it.

I'll put up a CS after work. Hopefully this thread doesn't die like the last YuGiOh thread I joined did

- Name: Michelle Kine
- Age: 13
- Grade: 8
- Course Attended: Special Summoning (Generic)

- Personality: Friendly, kind, and caring; instantly changes to aggressive and confident when dueling.

- Other Details: Michelle gets really energized whenever the topic of dueling is even mentioned, but otherwise she's usually pleasant and cheerful.

Me gusta! Accepted, Scar. c:

Looking forward to it, Joshua; I'm hoping this works out. However, it will be a bit slow to jump to the main plot. But just a bit. We have to have a small amount of time to establish our characters as normal kids before they get pulled into a big plot twist of any kind.

oooo... just rereading the rules for our decks, noticed I can add 1 banned card, and that I shouldn't have exceptionally rare cards from the anime. So... lemme work out my deck a bit, figured I could still improve it.

Ooh, I just saw that we could use anime cards. I can finally use my timelord deck. I love those tyrannical angels.

Apparently all timelords have a "rare" rarity, except for Sephylon, which is "ultra rare", and the rules do say to refrain from using painfully rare cards. Let's see what Rethel has to say, though.

Uhm . . . crud Timelords. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. What's bad is I don't even remember anything being said concerning them being painfully rare. Just no Ain Soph Whatever every fracking time.

And alright, Scar. Only 1, though.

Alright, I have edited my deck. Rethel, if you wanna check it out, feel free.

If you don't want me to use them that's fine. If you are really okay with them, would you want them one only? Though... the two that have been made into TCG cards are unlimited. I'll go with whatever the GM want though; it's your RP.

I got ninja'd by Scar, then I got a phone call.

I didn't know the "Timelords" were actually classified as rare. I would have guessed they were, but I didn't have a confirmation. With that information, I will say no more than one apiece due to rarity rather than legality limitations. Then you'd probably missing two or three from the collection (likely meaning you'd be missing Sephylon, which would be the most rare). Once again, nothing to do with legality. Everything to do with rarity. You'd probably have to have some kind of story behind the ones you've collected. Then others you may be able to collect as the RP progresses.

In the end it may be easier to go with a different kind of Deck, but I'll leave it to you.

@ Scar: Love the updates. This Deck has just a touch of generic (such as "Book of Moon", "Pot of Greed", "Mystical Space Typhoon", etc.) But it still has the central focus of Fairy-Type. I think "Nova Summoner" is definitely a great addition.

Arrrgh I'm still unsatisfied with how my deck goes...... damn you Angel 07 for being so complicated.... lemme make 1 more edit to it, then I'll probably stop there.

EDIT: Done

You're sure? It's finally done? j/k

Honestly, you can edit it continually as the RP progresses. That's why I didn't go with a Deck structured around an Archetype. If I notice a way to make my Deck better, I can do so easily. (Like probably swapping something out for a "Fusion Sage" at some point)

But yeah . . . So we have a Special Summon and a Fusion Summon person. I might make Gale a Synchro user and have Brent use something like Synchro Fusionist if they ever tag-team.

My characters will be fusion and synchro

Then I'll have Gale use something else. Trying to keep a balance between the courses.

Ritual in her case then?

Actually that was something I was considering as an alternate.
