Note: Gilgex is the main GM around here, despite what the topic says.

The Face Cards of Fate


Be careful of what you wish for, because you just might get it.


The Goal Of All Life Is Death


We were the famed mercenaries of YGGDRASIL. We fought strangers’ wars for a price. Never our own. We were the sword-for-hireds, the feathers that tip the scales of battles, the names that every fighter dreaded and envied. We were the wild cards, dealt to you by fate. We deal in blood and victories, both were available in exchange for gold. We were Seekers Of Fate.

Well, that was us in game. Outside of YGGDRASIL, we were just your everyday folks; we had families, jobs and responsibilities. More or less.

But of course, real life was overrated. Why be a wage slave when you could be a god? That was what kept us coming back to the game, kept us fighting for our worth. In time, we had secured a guildhall for ourselves- a large mansion nested among the misty swamps. We were content to build and prosper. Our roster grew and we took on bigger jobs. Skirmishes slowly turned into long campaigns. From mere soldiers, we became warlords. We had made a name for ourselves in the digital world of YGGDRASIL.

However, all things come to an end. Even good things. For all our swords and magic, all our valor and tactics, we still couldn’t combat one foe: The Devs. So when the closing of our favorite MMO was announced, all we could do was watch as the timer ticked by. We have tried our best. We created countless threads on the forum. We raised funds. We made petitions. Nothing changed. So in the end, we gave up. Many had left the guild already, leaving behind either heart-felt farewells or nothing at all. We did not judge. Those of us that stayed though, had decided to gather for one last time, staying even when the timer began to countdown seconds.

We would greet the end in each other’s company.

Except, it never came.

Stranded In A New World


The countdown stopped, then began again. We remained.

At first, there was joy and awe. The universe of our dreams, the fruit of countless gaming hours, everything we worked so hard for still within our grasp. The guildhall remained intact around us, the NPCs were still where we left them and all our (ill-gotten?) gain was still lying in the vault. But the world itself had changed. We knew, as our senses came to life. YGGDRASIL was as realistic as games came, but it still got nothing on this. For the first time, we were alive in this world we helped shape.

The catch? We couldn’t leave. The log out sequence wouldn’t work.

So here we were, trapped in a world that was slowly coming to life around us. We struggled to get our bearing, but at least, our power was still with us. Maybe time would reveal an exit. But then, would you leave?



Information about the Guild


We are Seekers of Fate, a mercenary guild of some reputation back in the world of YGGDRASIL. And our gimmick is tarot cards, so let’s get the rank system out of the way first. Basically, each member is assigned with a card from either the major arcana or the minor arcana. Obviously, members from the major arcana are stronger and have higher ranks than those from the minor, so they will be assigned tougher jobs and such. But that’s all the rankings you are going to get. Just that. We will be roleplaying players from the major arcana though. There are 22 of them so take your pick. Have problem? Take it to me I will help. As for how we operate, the guild itself doesn’t really have an official leader. We, however, have a card dealer (i.e a handler of sort). She will be the face of our outfit, dealing directly with our clients and then directing the jobs to the most suitable members. As for more general and easier jobs, ones that don’t require that much specialization, she will post them on a notice board for other members to pick up and complete. Sometimes, when larger jobs come in, ones that requires a full party or on very rare occasions, the entire guild, the dealer will gather everyone and vote on whether they take the job or not.

The Cast

LadyPastry-The Fool
DozingDonut-The Tower
Morrigan Fair Quin-The World


Rules

While I’m not big on rules (Heck, I’m not even the main GM here, I just post this thing.), there must still be stuffs here so nothing will get out of hand. Basically, all RPG basic rules: be calm, be cool, don’t control other people’s characters, and don’t grieve. Bring your issues, questions, concerns to me or Gilgex and I will help you sort them out, to the best of my abilities. Also, before doing anything big (like blowing up the universe big), run them through me first. I will give you the code to the nuke. Just know that while I like surprises, I want to be in on them. (oh hang on….shit…then they wouldn’t be surprises anymore).

Another note is that this is probably gonna be mid casual to low advance. So don’t be that guy and post one liners. I will judge you silently. But don’t put too much stress on post length, quality over quantity and all that.

I just bumped into this and it is an awful lot interesting, however should I be familiar with the manga to be able to participate in this RP? I could read the manga in the short time it takes this RP to launch, but just in case, should I really?

The manga is relatively short, so feel free. To be honest, we're just taking the concept of 'your everyday people got trapped as overpowered characters in a fantasy world', so knowledge of the cannon universe is encouraged, but not mandatory.

Okay I put in the CS try to make it look like that. Don't forget to put in your tarot cards kiddies. Oh, and as for PC character's there will be a maximum of six slots available for them.

Well @rivaan it needs that, and to be as organized as mine. I don't like how messy yours looked. If you can do that than I can guarantee that I'll accept it.

@rivaanAhem, your CS is good in my opinion, I will accept it. Just tidy things up and fix some typos if you want and you can put it in the CS tab. And do you want a tarot card? Feel free to pick one if you like. I'm here if you need help.

I thought our thing was tarot cards for the PC's. Why would you make that optional?

Well what I can advise is to take your time filling it if you want. IT's a big one and it really takes time to do. Still luckily it's pretty well described what where ^_^ So don't mind it putting on airs, it's not as scary as it looks

Haven't been on skype call on account of shakey internet. Drop this by again to see if it needs any revisions other than a new bio. Do you think Justice would fit her? I intend to keep the same general idea in terms of character obv.
