Shieldhaven is a Casual-Sandboxed War RP taking place in the Fairy Tail-verse. The ideal game is to have a total number of 12 players distributed into 4 parties to partake in the singularities of the Dragon King Festival. Given the wave-like nature of the war, Time Lapses are portals of singularities that releases monsters and mages alike once a week in a month to bring terror to Earthland. The Time Lapses will be the bread and butter of the story delivered as an hourglass plot while the big vacant intervals are meant to develop our characters.
The Four Heroes of Earthland are summoned amidst the presence of the King of Fiore in the Castle of Crocus. Legends have told tales about the Four Heroes, once children of the norm, ascended to Herohood and possession of powerful magic to combat the Time Lapses, they are the Mirror Knight, The Exorcist, The Chaindancer, and The Dragon Slayer, these heroes are said to appear once in a century to fight the Time Lapses. Revered as Gods by the King's constituents, these heroes are nothing more than mere C-A class Mages bequeathed with the four legendary magic by the souls of the past heroes.
Confused with the celestial selection, Mages of the finest and practitioners alike were invited in the King's assembly as the Four Heroes began to understand their duty. Of all the heroes, the Dragon Slayer gained the most attention due to being Fiore's native hero. "Milord. Eisenburg, Sun Village, and Alvarez aren't as-" The King's Secretary whispered to the King as the King silenced his secretary. "The Dragon King Festival is near. We will need to find workarounds to rendezvous with the other nations." He said to his secretary.
"You four will have to defend Fiore with all your life. I will fight alongside you, time is running out within my Arc of Time Crystal Ball. You will lead armies and attend war strategies. I, Gilgamesh V. Fiore bestow 50,000 gold coins for each of you."
Again, though the heroes may have gained knowledge about their roles, the anxieties of war ran beneath their trembling heart. King Gilgamesh then established the guild, Shieldhaven and shouted atop his voice commanding the Mages available in the assembly to select their Hero wisely.
"These heroes will not be judged by their legend, do not forget that they are still legends in the making and are nothing more than ordinary people. Therefore, do not be fooled by the splendor that glows within these heroes. My judgment is always right for I have seen the deep." Gilgamesh panted and ordered the heroes out of his sight once the election is over.
Gilgamesh closed his eyes and confidently trusted the vision he foresaw. Will the heroes triumph or fall against the Time Lapses.
"Now then, Dragon King who has yet to emerge. Your followers have also gathered in this war of yours. Let the festival between dragons, demons, and humans begin!"
Important NPCs:TBA
This is a total FT AU which means that canon characters do not exist nor do their guilds. What is maintained is the foundations and principles of magic? Find out.
The guild, Shieldhaven will be a specialist guild in the aspects of Travelling & Trading, Martial Arts, and the King's personal vassals.
While Shieldhaven is a new guild in a day's span. The finest and even weakest Mages of all kinds we're able to select the Hero they want to work with. I will allow 1 S-Rank, 2 A-Rank, 4 B-Rank, and the rest will be C-Rank. I do not allow two high ranking Mages on the same team, neither the four heroes will have the luxury of getting high ranks, at best they are either C or B rank. They are, after all, Legends in the making. So don't expect your four legendary heroes to be overpowered because they aren't. We are in Crocus, after all, King Gilgamesh knows his Mage qualities and qualifications.
And because I am strict with Slayers. I will not allow anymore Slayers since 3/4 of the Legendary Heroes with the exception of the Mirror Knight are Slayers. For once in your life, be creative with the magic you choose. The Dragon Slayer is the Dragon Hero, The Exorcist is the Ice Devil Slayer, and The Chaindancer is an Enchanter who uses Godslayer magic infused with chains. The Mirror Knight, however, is a Defense/Heal/Support type.
Yes, I am shutting down anyone who attempts to make a Slayer that isn't one of the three legendary heroes. I will be keeping a closer look at all character submission, I don't want half-assed sheets. As for that 1 S-Rank, don't ask me, make it while I reject it. I will keep rejecting until I am satisfied.
Maker Magic is freeform. Tread carefully.
Creatures like Dragons, Demons, and Gods are present in the story.
You don't have to be present during the King's assembly, your character could join at a later time.
I'm not a fan of pseudo-IC meme'ing characters in Discord because it kills the focus of the RO.
Lastly, have fun and don't be a Drama Lord.
The Four Legendary Heroes are summoned once in a century to fight against the Time Lapses caused by the Dragon King Festival. They are bounded by fate if one were to die, the time-lapse portals will widen and the difficulty will increase. Unlike regular Mages, the heroes are blessed by the Gods. Due to King Gilgamesh's rushed celestial selection, the four legendary heroes are instead gathered in Fiore rather than their respective homeland.
The Chaindancer - an Enchanter Godslayer whose chains can bind Gods. Really good at dancing with chains! Native to the Alvarez Empire.
The Dragon Slayer - this hero is occasionally a First Generation Dragon Slayer, it depends on the one apping em'. Native to Fiore.
The Exorcist - this hero is an Ice Devil Slayer from a long line of exorcists and native to Eisenberg. Usually, the users aren't humans, Ethernano Humans are designed to resist the adverse effect of the Devil Slayer. Outside of Eisenberg, the Ice Devil Slayer is viewed as a monster.
The Mirror Knight - this hero is a native to the Sun Village. Known as the selfless hero among the four, the Mirror Knight treats non-humans very well despite the Sun Village being a Giant Supremacist nation. Also uses support/defense/healing magic with Requip and eye-magic resistant to illusions.
