Hello everyone. I am in the process of forming up a Fairy Tail setting rp that will be focused on an original guild. This guild will be the merged remnants of two separate guilds that used to be rivals. (Names for all things pending)
While many of the members usually didn't like each other, the Guild Masters were equal parts rivals as they were friends, with two very different ways of looking at things.

One guild was heavily focused on teamwork and magical combinations, boasting many highly respected teams for certain tasks such as Disaster Containment and Rescuing people. While one may not be able to do everything alone, united they could do anything.

The other was the opposite and focused on individual talents, whatever talents those would be. It was all about making every mage the best mage they could be. They were known for having strong bounty hunters and crafters and swimsuit models. When every guild member is awesome, the guild is awesome.

Both of these rival guilds were attacked by a large Dark Guild that had been hiding in the shadows and had enough of both guild's interference. Through a combination of trickery, ambushing, and sheer might, they took down the Individuals guild first, and then the Teamwork guild second while they were attempting to assist.

Now the guild masters have joined forces, and any remaining members are now in one building without any of the previous rivalries being solved, yet they are supposed to be working together. Especially in order to defeat the Dark Guild. Who knows how it will go...

There is the introduction and general idea for the startup and the overall story. I will be working out the specifics of events and how they played out over time, along with getting everything solidly named. I'm eager to take suggestions for that and see what ideas other folks have, or just opinions on the setup so far.

I will be editing this page as I go along and list questions and answers ^-^.

Also, while it is currently sparse, I have a test thread for all to see how it's being formed.
Construction Thread

For anyone interested, I have a question for preferred setting. What kind of area would you like this guild to be? Snowy Mountains? Tropical Forestry? Standard Magnolia? Fishing Village? Let me know.


Character Power Levels - Generally I want things to be closer to early Fairy Tail to where characters are strong and you can have cool shounen fights, but not to the point where every Dragon and their Cat is rocking four separate magical powersets and are a walking nuclear bomb. I want more towards Episode 1 where Natsu wrecks the shit out of the boat and causes a lot of collateral damage but not where he's going to destroy the city with his dragon breath.

Technology level - Fairy Tail's tech was kinda weird and inconsistent as a lot of anime can be. So I'll be putting in a general rule of having it be late Coal Power age and a bit before things got all Steamy (steam power). And then add in all the magic capabilities to further pump that stuff up. Not a lot of electricity powered stuff. No TV or radios. But there's internal plumbing and coal trains and all of that stuff.
I'll be a bit more lax on things that are more self-contained and don't matter as much. Such as a big waterpark. Sure.... you can have your water slides that are probably more technologically advanced than they should be. That's fine. Just don't whip out a gameboy or a car.

World Lore - I'll be honest, I haven't actually watched/read Fairy Tail in a very long time. And even then, I quit sometime shortly after the big Guild Tournaments. I remember how a lot of stuff works and the basics, but some of the more specific world history has slipped my memory. Assume the plot will be AU'd as I make a history that works well enough. I know that the Dragon Slayers did some serious time jumping... I don't want to do that so I'll likely be coming up with an alternative history for that.

The banned or limited powers list will likely grow as I refamiliarize myself with everything, but so far I've got the following list that will be put in the rules section:

You know what I'll try out for this if it gets enough people. Haven't had a fairy tail game for awhile.

Finally, I've been waiting for a shounen RP. I'm interested

This has a lot of potential! im going to keep an eye on it!

Welcome all :)

I've got a few folks too that have shown interest outside of the check, so looks like we're getting a good number for a start ^^. I'll be heading to bed for now, ask any questions you like and I'll answer them when I wake up sometime in the late afternoon.

What types of magics are off the list forbidden?

What do you want to see? Do you want at least one dragon slayer?

Is there any specific techniques you don't want to see even in accepted magics?

What exactly will be our starting point so we can form our backstories around it? Do we need to be a part of the magic guilds?

Will this be related to how the prequel anime formed the guild?@DoomFlavored

Again subject to grow, but that's what is there so far. I'm not wanting to go into specific moves within existing powers at this time, as I'll judge every character sheet individually. But I will be striving for keeping things fair and I've got a lot of practice at catching things and balancing them.

As for characters, I recommend at least one character in the merged magic guild as that's where the most people should be. I will not be accepting characters from other light magic guilds at the very start, but will open up once I have use for them. However, I readily welcome minor or npc characters. You can have as many non-guild shop keepers as you like. And I also encourage villains. Dark Guild baddies are in high demand so I don't have to be all of them :D

I have a friend who is going to be playing a dragon slayer, and I would be willing to accept... I'd say two more at this stage. The cap will likely increase at some point. I don't have so much a hard number as much as I want to make sure they aren't in over abundance compared to the rest of the cast. The same thing goes for S-Ranks. I'll accept a handful but don't want them to be the majority. The Merged Guild Masters will be npcs played by me for now.

And for the last thing about the prequel anime, I wasn't even aware that there was one! I'll have to say that this would be an unrelated story.

Edit : I will not be accepting an S-Rank Dragon Slayer.... unless it's for the Dark Guild ;)

@DoomFlavoredYes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_Tail_Zero is a thing just so you know in case you want to watch it.

I've been waiting for a cozy community shounen RP to pop up. Count me in! I've got some very experimental character ideas I hope to run with~

Hmm... Sounds interesting, I'm in

@DoomFlavored
Weird question: Are there a set list of elements, or will it be like in the shower were basically anything could be made into a type of slayer magics?

@malmshodes
I would be leaning more towards the show, but with careful consideration on what was proposed. The friend mentioned earlier was making specifically a Steam dragon slayer. In order to get energy from eating the water, gotta heat it up first and get it boiling.

I'm trying to come up with names for everything as that's quite the important step.
I was thinking Falcon Flight for the individualist guild and the teamwork guild being named Sapphire Hornet.

Still working on their alliance guild name

Ah, yes, the famous shower dragon!

For reals though, hi all! All looking good, Bam.

The famous shower dragon!

Lol. Cleaning up the entire city as she flies spreading wetness and soapy gloss everywhere! Everyone in the vicinity has weird mental crisis's in their heads followed by sudden epiphanies related to food, and also look extra sexy while all soaped up ;3

Finished up the first draft of the background story. Will fill in missing name blanks when I've got them ^^

Sapphire Flight or Sapphire Falcon could be good, and might(?) satisfy everyone by taking half of each guilds name?

What about "Dragon's Majesty"?
I could see that as the name of a guild whose most notable feature is how pompous it is.

@malmshodes That could also work, lol!

@DoomFlavored Also in terms of magic I think I like the look of Iron-Make & Light magics at the moment, although I'm still undecided between them

I don't know if this would be allowed, but I like the idea of a corpse-based magic like my character will enchant various body parts, maybe with some tragic background, into an animate meat golem. She'll upgrade him as the series goes on, maybe by adding new interchangeable features. Maybe different materials grant different effectS? Still a work in progress ^^
