Welp, looks like I was spot on for making her the last person to join the guild, in the player character sense.
In any case, now its time to move on to the Golem's Hand members. It was easy to pinpoint everyone else due to some of them commenting on when they joined the Golem's Hand and how many years ago it has been since they jumped on joining. However, there are other anomalies that put the question of when they joined into my head.
I'm talking primarily about Vega Ashworth, Jack, and Kazue Hattori, with the former being the hardest to figure out so far for me. So, I'm going to, again, try to figure out when and how long its been since these three jumped on the Golem's Hand bandwagon.
Let me start off with the easiest of the trio in my opinion - Jack. In his backstory, it had been a few years since that little excursion he had with his brothers now defunct mercenary group. While few isn't exactly a number, it does help me look in between the lines over when he joined; it helps that the Golem's Hand formed over six years ago. Vega's opinion of him I feel might of aided me a bit in figuring out when he joined up with the guild.
As strange as it sounds, I believe Seto's opinion's also help me in not only figuring out the placement of Jack, but potentially the rest of these three. Seto says he always falls for the same basic tricks, which means he probably isn't the newest out of the three. Sure, he joined a few years back, but it also helps when looking at his opinion of Cyril. If I end up tweaking my characters backstory, this will definitely lend more credence to when he joined. For starters, he has no idea how Cyril fights, or rather how capable he is in a fight. Cyril joined the Harpy's Guild six, possibly seven years ago if I get the change in. This could either mean that he was one of the first few members who joined up with the Golem's Hand, or joined a year or two after Seto. Based on what I'm going on few, I prefer to say that he joined a year or two after two on Seto.
At any rate, out of these three, I can infer that he joined before Kazue and Vega.
Next, I'm going to discuss Kazue. Going off what I've read, Kazue has to be the one behind Jack. It does sort of help that she left her household when she was 10, but other than that, I'm working with guesses. Currently her age is 19 and she left when she was 10; the Golem's Hand formed over 6 years ago, so she had to have been present when the Dark Guild. This is where things become a bit... murky. I don't know when she decided to start studying magic, but I feel this is sort of where things end when it comes to her backstory, save for the fact that she rose up to being an A-Class mage rather quickly when joining.
Now, going off of opinions... Vega's, Jack's, Kazue's, and Seto's seemed to help the most. Vega's final statement states that she annoys him the least and that she's after the money. While it doesn't seem like much, look at the other opinions (besides Delsin's). Damian and Kage's are short and sweet to the point; basically it's like he doesn't know much about them, which makes sense considering what their players said when they joined the guild. However, he would of had more than enough time to form an opinion of people he has known and spent time with. This also lends some credit to the fact that he joined after them both.
Moving on to the rest of their statements, Jack's and Seto's are plain easy to pin down - Jack says he has spent some time with her and Seto doesn't know much about her true character. However, I can say that Kazue's opinion of Vega is what helps me infer that she joined before Vega. She mentions a lot of discipline, knows about what happened to him, how he is a thief, and how he got caught. Despite being a reputed thief in his backstory, Kazue mentions he got caught, something most new members might not know about if they joined after Vega... maybe.
So I can firmly place her as the next person out of the trio to have joined the guild...
Despite this all, one would think I would have the answer to when Vega joined - he was the third out of the three. However, there is some evidence that contradicts with some of my thoughts, such as a statement made by Delsin over how he should of been an S class years ago. Along with that, we all know he was caught by the Golem's Hand around the six years; I'm assuming he was caught around two to four years ago after the Golem's Hand formed due to the plausible strength of the guild. Regardless, I'm currently unsure of where he stands, as different pieces of information shows that he could of been the second or the third of these three to jump on the Golem's Hand bandwagon...
At any rate, here is what I currently have for the Golem's Hand.
Golem's Hand
Delsin Bastille
Seto Nakahara
Jack
Kazu Hattori
Damian Ivorn
Kage
Unknown Variables
Vega Ashworth
A lot of my logic on this one is a bit flimsier than the former, so please correct me if I'm wrong on the order of these members, or if I need to change anyone around.
