Yu-Gi-Oh! Guardians (Title Pending)

[Ryougu]

@Killfang96
Err, not really?

[Todd Howard]

I couldn't even imagine what I'd put into a 60-card Ancient Gear deck. I'd much rather have six fusion cards out of a forty card deck than six out of a sixty card one... Adding more would just cause extreme bricking problems.

[Killfang96]

@Raddum
Fair enough.
Some decks benefit a lot from extra cards though

[Ryougu]

@GarlandDaHero
Not at all meaning to rush you, but approximately when do you think you'll have the OOC up?
(Or alternatively some of the information about the world so I could start writing the bio and the like)

[Killfang96]

@GarlandDaHero
Same question as Ryougu

[Darkmoon Angel]

custom fortune cards

Fortune Scale Fairy Syree

Pendulum Effect: This card's Pendulum Scales become 2 unless there is another "Fortune Scale" monster in your Pendulum Zone. Once per turn; if a face up "Fortune" monster is targeted for an attack, you can negate the attack then increase the level of the attacked monster by 1.

I'm a little late so I'll probably have some reading later when the ooc goes up, but yeah I'd be interested in joining or at least looking as school has me busy. Here's hoping I can somehow squeeze a hero deck by.

[Matador]

@AlternaxAnother Hero bro?

[Killfang96]

@Alternax
Elemental or Destiny heros?

[Todd Howard]

@Alternax


@Alder


I think it's confirmed.

[GarlandChaos]

@AdmrlStalfos19

New Guardian looks much better, thank you.

@JamesMuddy

Guardian looks alright, but the LP requirement needs to be more specific than just "lower than your opponent's". Other than that, good stuff.

@Darkmoon Angel

Looks good to me! I love how you added in a Fortune Fairy as well as a Lady, and made them both Pendulums so they could summon other Fortune Fairies/Ladies.

One problem I noticed, though:

They're Fortune SCALE monsters, not their respective Fairy/Lady counterparts. Because of the name schema you used, they unfortunately(pun not intended) won't get supported by their intended archetype. At least, as far as I'm aware.

@Alternax

Welcome aboard, dood! @Alder is also playing HEROes, iirc. Maybe your characters could be buds?

@Ryougu

Well, due to my own sheer stupidity earlier today(as well as my crappy 8-ish year old laptop), I'll probably have the OoC up on Thursday or Friday.

Here's some quick lore to tie you guys over, though:

Long ago, in the days of Ancient Egypt, three divine beasts known as the Egyptian Gods were revered as deities, both malevolent and benevolent, and as the strongest monsters imaginable in what was known as a "Shadow Game". These "Shadow Games" would later become what we know in the modern day as the card game "Duel Monsters", which was originally adapted from the aforementioned "Shadow Games" by Maximilian Pegasus, the founder of Industrial Illusions. Industrial Illusions was the company responsible for creating most of the Duel Monsters cards we know today.

However, in some records pertaining to the Shadow Games, there were mentions of players who would be saved from the brink of death by a powerful monster only they had access to. These monsters are referred to in modern times as "Guardians", in reference to their guardian angel-esque behavior. These "Guardians" were unique in that some of them were as weak as an average 3rd Level monster, while others had power to rival even the Egyptian Gods.

Supposedly Guardians could also be passed down from parent-to-parent, with some Guardians being all but lost with no lineage to follow. As a result, Guardians have become less common than in the times of Ancient Egypt, with bloody wars and general premature death killing off those under their protection. There is still a large amount of people under the protection of their own Guardian, however, mostly due to the immense size of the human population.

One particular individual under a Guardian's protection has issued a digital invitation for a Duel Monsters tournament, the recipients of which being under the watch of Guardians. The tournament is to be held on a remote island to the far south of Japan, with the recipients due to be escorted there via airplane.

The tournament organizer, a woman referred to in the e-mail as "Ryuko Tsukinazo", must be quite the wealthy individual to be able to make all the arrangements necessary for the tournament. Her intentions weren't clearly stated, but if it's just a card game tournament, it can't be too dangerous, can it? Plus, there's a hefty 1 million dollar reward for the overall winner. Anyone with half a brain would be silly to not take up the offer.

Sorry for any grammatical hiccups in there, I'm honestly pretty shoddy when it comes to explaining/describing things.

@Alternax


@Alder


I think it's confirmed.

@Raddum

LOL

Pretty much.

[Todd Howard]

@GarlandDaHero

Sweeeet. Can update my Bio a bit to match up with this.

[Todd Howard]

@GarlandDaHero

Though the deck has remained the same, aside from the Guardian Monster who got a new look to match, I crafted a new character entirely from the technopile punk girl I was originally going to use.

Masuo Itaki

"It was... Part of my plan all along! Ahahahah!"
- Masuo Itaki, playing it cool.

-NAME-
Masuo Itaki

-HANDLE-
Itaki

-AGE-
26

-PERSONALITY-
Energetic and fun loving, Itaki is a childish man with a heart of gold; Constant smiles and humor, especially when enjoying his hobby of dueling. He considers himself to be motivational to the younger generation, often pushing them to succeed, even against him in a match. While he can come off as a man that is silly with a lack of seriousness, when he intends to teach a moral to someone, he nails it in effectively; Willing to scold others without hesitance if he believes them to be in the wrong, while praising those he believes ought to succeed.

Itaki has a weakspot for women; Often cutting younger girls slack and being overly polite and flirtatious towards adult women, easily snapping off at anyone that tries to potentially ruin his chances with the woman in question. He's one to give dating advice despite not holding a relationship himself; Though occasionally what he has to say is fairly useful, at least if you're desperate.

In the business world, Itaki is still light hearted, but takes his work seriously. He can be seen as a stern individual, but always polite; His workers seem to respect him very much, and the man himself is successful; Showing he knows what he's doing and is, despite his childish hobbies, a man with plenty of professionalism when needed.

-BIO-
Itaki is the C.E.O of an architecture company, and on the side, a joyful aspiring duelist. Being blessed with a Guardian passed down from his ancient descendants, Itaki had discovered it at a young age as he started playing Duel Monsters, having a friend unique to him one that could turn the tides of battle if used correctly. He simply considered this awesome, and slowly grew attached to the spirit; But lost the opportunity to duel as much once he had to start taking over his family's business.

Though it was stressful at times, Itaki has grown into a successful man with a business that has only become more valuable since he was put in charge; Though that never was enough to push away his urge to duel. His employees, random people on the streets, even other business owners, though they were few and far between. He enjoyed dueling, and being able to partake in the activity motivated him to continue his work.

When he was checking his business email, he was surprised with the invite to the tournament; But he didn't think much more of it, due to sheer excitement. While it was suggested by his peers he shouldn't go as it'd be bad for the business, he pointed out that the one million dollar reward would make up for his absence. That was just an excuse, though. He already had money; He was here for something much more valuable.

He was here to have fun.

-DECK-
Ancient Gears

Guardian Monster

As long as this card remains equipped to the Special Summoned monster, it can attack directly by halving it's ATK.

-THEME-

Hope he's alright.

[GarlandChaos]

@Raddum

Oh my God this man is amazing.

Definitely accepted.

was honestly expecting something more like this for the Guardian, but oh well

[Todd Howard]

@GarlandDaHero

Hurray!

tbh I'm really glad you were expecting that, makes me feel like the name didn't go to complete waste. >w>

[Todd Howard]

@GarlandDaHero

Ah, shit. Forgot to add some wicked dueling theme music! Fixed now!

[Killfang96]

@GarlandDaHero
So the whole thing is huge tournament. Interesting setup
Then again that's how most YuGiOh stories start

[GarlandChaos]

@Killfang96

Yeah. If you're familiar with the original series at all, it's actually kinda similar to the Battle City arc.

[Killfang96]

@GarlandDaHero
What's that old saying if it ain't broke don't fix it?
I think that applies here.
Also I give the tournament like an hour after starting before things go out of control.
