[OOC] Fairy Tail--The New Generation

[Juvvie]

It's been one hundred years since the creation of Fairy Tail, one hundred years and the guild has gone through nine guild masters so far. The tales of Natsu and Erza, of Makarov and Mavis are far since past and a new generation has began in Fairy Tail. Now led by the tenth master, a woman with a desire to raise Fairy Tail from the ashes that had laid to waste since it had fallen apart several years before. The Fairy Tail guild was not nearly the force to be reckoned with that it had been in the past, it's reputation now more resembling that of when the Tenrou Team had suddenly disappeared for all those years.

But it's a new generation now, a new generation with a hope for the future. Will these new recruits prove as formidable as the legends of Fairy Tail's past? Or will the guild finally crumble and fall to the wayside, nothing more than a tale one told over a campfire, a mere memory. It's up to the next generation to restore Fairy Tail's status in Fiore as the top guild, a guild hell bent on justice for those that have wronged innocents and a place for those with nowhere else to go to find a home... And a family.

The year is X890, and the newest Fairy Tail legends are about to unfold...

Important Information:

°The Fiore family still rules over the land, the current monarch being Toma Fiore the Second, named after Hisui's father. He's currently the ripe age of forty, and has been ruling for the last five years.

°No Canon characters will be making appearances, as they're all either gone, in the move traveling, or elsewhere occupied with other things.

°Lamia Scale is currently the number one guild in Fiore, led by Juura's grandson, who is #5 of the Ten Wizard Saints.

°Fairy Tail, while not being in last place, is close to the bottom of the list of the strongest guilds in Fiore, but their legendary reputation from time's past has been enoygh to keep their guild hall together, if not simply in honor of the wizard's who used to frequent the halls of the sacred building.

°Tenrou Island is still protected by the First Master and still the guild's sacred ground, but it is also the resting place of Makarov Dreyar and Erza Scarlet.

°The current master of Fairy Tail is Rika Blaise, a fire-make wizard she's currently #7 of the Ten Wizard Saints.

Okay! So that's basically it, I really want a Fairy Tail roleplay and this thrown together idea is really the best I could come up with. It's not much of a story, but I figured we could add to it, build it up, make it great! I'm open to any and all ideas on this! As for how we start it off, I'm thinking maybe the new guild master decides to hold a festival of sorts to commemorate Fairy Tail's re-emergence into the world, as it's raised from the ashes and such she basically is using the festival to recruit new guild members as the guild is scant on those of late. So she brings together the few members the guild currently has and throws together a giant party to try and attract more wizards to join or something.... Idk. Anyways! As for characters, here's the few guidelines I have on that:

Character Rules:

°Characters can be A Class, B Class, S Class... Whatever. But not ALL of us can be S Class so I'm keeping the limit to two, these are on a first come first serve basis.

°Doubling is allowed, though I'm hoping for the story to center on one central team of wizards like the anime I'd prefer players to have one main character and any doubling be more for side/minor characters during guild hall/major storyline scenes. Such as giant fights against dark guilds, evil things, etc.

°All magic types are allowed, however since all the dragons have disappeared by now no first generation dragon slayers will be allowed unless they learned their magic through someone else.

°Character(s) can be veteran members of the guild or new to the guild, the choice is yours. But not every character can be a veteran, also restricting this to 2-3 characters being veteran VS new to Fairy Tail.

°Players are allowed to incorporate two types of magic into their character profile, however one must be more dominant than the other and they must make sense together.... Such as don't be a water-make wizard who also is a fire dragon slayer... That's weird.

Other Rules

°A posting order won't necessarily be needed, but some sort of order will be. Don't post back to back and leave other characters out. Try and wait until everyone gets a chance to post before posting.

°No God-nodding, ninja-dodging, etc.

°No Mary-Sues, John Does, or OP characters that are immortal etc. Give your characters some weaknesses, fears, complex traits, etc.

°Be respectful to all involved and have fun!

So yeah, that's all I've got so far....Give me a bit and I'll get a character up, I've got ideas just working them out.

I'll be lurking btw

Will try to get a character in

[Juvvie]

@Geyter works for me lol I'm working on mine now

[Animal]

@Juvvie Got a character sheet we could work with or are you going to post it after your character is finished?

[Juvvie]

@Animal and for anyone else wanting to start on their characters, the sheet template thing is in the first post, at the bottom. I'm currently making mine, but I'm obsessed with making them pretty so it's taking a bit lol

[Juvvie]

Finally got my character done, I'll work on her background later I'm tired as crap. But yeah, she's up and I'm off to bed :D

[CelesteEste]

This seems interesting. I will try to make a sheet tomorrow, I did like Fairy Tail back in the day... But that has been a long while ago now, gotta unrust my knowledge about world rules a bit.

[Juvvie]

Okay but you're the last open slot so now unless someone who claimed interest backs out, we aren't taking any more people.

For the others, I've got three different characters in the works, all following the same core archetype of amorality, whichever the reason is:

• Magnus: A wizard whose body seems to be completely composed of quicksilver, who seeks to further his research on magic and decided the name of Fairy Tail would aid his purposes. Mad Scientist with Extravagant Villain peppered in whose magic is centered around western alchemy (Using reagents to produce different effects of elemental magic, and using his quicksilver as either defensive measures or for assorted tasks by transmuting it into one of the several metals known in alchemy: Lead, Iron, Copper, Silver and Gold).
• Freya: A young woman who uses a combination of nullifying magic and viscious close-quarters combat to reduce her enemies to a pulp, osmeitmes literally. A troublemaker that's always looking for a fight and that will end up wrecking havok if her bloodlust isn't sated, sometihng she hoped that would happen once she joined the legendary guild. Highschool delinquent-type of fellow, with shades of a berserker warrior.
• Lorelai: The middle daughter of a family of infamous Dark Mages, who merely happened to be at the wrong/right place at the wrong/right time to get recruited by Fairy Tail in the hopes of putting her magical prowess to good use. An ever-smiling and naive girl whose morality is quite skewed if not completely opposite to that of normal society due to her upbringing, who sees no issues in using her Bone Magic to create skeletal automatons that she can give simple commands to, if not simply manifesting structures made of bones for whichever purpose she has.

My pick will be most likely influenced by what others characters there are.

[Juvvie]

@SubjectVision they all sound quite interesting, honestly. I'm curious to see Lorelai's Bone Magic at work as I haven't seen many people mess around with that area of magic too often, and I'm curious what you'll do with it. I also think that if you don't choose to use Magnus, we could incorporate him, later as a minor villain or major villain if you wanted to swing him the other way, he'd be fun to fight.

I enjoy Freya's overall vibe and think she'd get along with Raelia quite interestingly, funny she has a form named Freya. :P

[CelesteEste]

How are the rules on creating new types of magic? Is it allowed? I have two ideas right now and the one I am leaning towards one that would use Pastries (since I always loved the weirder powers in Fairy Tail, like Solid Script or Wool)

[Juvvie]

@CelesteEste new and original magic types are fine as long as they're not too OP. Post your ideas and I'll let you know, but I'm, sure any pastry powers will be fine :)

[Aviaire]

Would having magic involving plants be alright? I know that similar magic exists, but what I have in mind is a little different so I’d like to check just in case.

It involves:
-growing plants & accelerating the growth of existing plants
-being able to sustain plants (possibly revive them? not on a big scale though, absolutely nothing bigger than maybe a bush)
-doing these has drawbacks, such as fatigue and having to keep the plants alive means needing to eat and drink more while they exist
-the drawbacks are increased depending on the size, type and amount of plants
-they’re just regular plants, and don’t have any boosted properties, only those that they would have naturally

If you’d like any changes or extra details I’ll be happy to provide.

[Juvvie]

@Aviaire that sounds fine to me and I'm very interested to see how that is used in terms of combat. So go ahead :)

There seem to be quite the unique range of magics so far which makes me really happy. Ya'lls imaginations are awesome!

Also, if anyone has any ideas for arcs and the like, feel free to voice them as I'm not sure of what ideas I have brewing in my noggin just yet.

[CelesteEste]

@Juvvie I am planning on playing a newcomer so at the start her powers would be quite primitive.

The basics are simple, the power to create and manipulate pastries. The character's most fundamental battle strategy is to be a nuisance, not only overpowering senses such as vision and smell with a barrage of desserts but also making the floor slippery, disrupting fire users or even water users.
One of her spells would be to create very hard bread that acts as either as a shield of limited durability or to bash someone, nothing too crazy, below a wood stick in impact.

Latter spells could include making really large pies that could cushion someone's fall or be an obstacle, creating chocolate bombs covering people in chocolate that hardens over time or even an ultra-specific short range teleport ability in which she can burst out of large enough cake as if it was a pop out cake. As a few examples.

Basically, a utility toolset with no real "punching" power but that is quite flexible.

[Juvvie]

@CelesteEste I love it! Can't wait to see it in action!

[Squirrel98]

@Juvvie I read that you still have two spots open. I am interested, but I am not sure if I want to use a female or a male wizard, so I guess I am going to see what the other characters are to keep everything balanced ;)

[SubjectVision]

Will throw a sheet in later today.

Here is my CS for review.

Avinne

Name:
Avinne Azurca

Age:
17, almost 18.

Guild:
Fairy Tail

New or Veteran Member:
Recently accepted

Location/Color of Guild Mark:
On the right side of her torso, chocolate colored.

Magic Type:
Pastry Magic - Caster Magic

• The creation and manipulation of pastries of any type.
• The flavor of the pastries reflects her mood, can be sweet, sour, bitter…

• Spell: Hardtack - Creates a special summoned bread that is heavier and more durable.

Magic Rank:
C

Strengths:
Creative
With observant eyes and a sharp mind, since before she was a mage Avinne always had a knack for creative endeavors, being able to take inspiration from unusual places and quickly compose them together into something new. With magic, it is not too different, she is constantly trying to (sometimes literally) cook up new tools.

Easy-Going / Carefree
Ranks, wealth, prestige, guilds, these things never get in the way of Avinne. Of course, this makes her a bit cheeky, but this also leads to her being approachable and sociable, rarely ashamed of who she is or judgemental of what others are.

Audacious
She is a risk taker, always a bit ambitious though also realistic about it, focusing not on being the best in general but on being the best she can be. She is rarely hesitant in the face of the unknown and, albeit not a daredevil to outright seek dangerous situations, she doesn’t shy from walking on the edge of a cliff if it means winning a race.

Weaknesses:
Limited
There is no workaround it, the magic Avinne uses is very peculiar and needs to be used well to work like other magical abilities, there are no default approaches and most tasks require her to be focused and inspired. Of course, she tries her best, but she is still doing all that work just to catch up, meaning that Avinne at her best is equivalent to some users at their average.

Fussy
Being observant comes with a price, and Avinne rarely does not express the perceived flaws she nitpicks in something. She is critical of every food she eats, a piece of art she experiences, or even magical skill, all said in a polite and casual tone, which can mitigate the frustration caused by it. She often loses a lot of time making sure her outfit is tidy (after spending a good time to pick one), combing her hair, fixing the position of furniture, with most of her money being burned into very specific items.

Flaky / Superstitious
Avinne can be quite eccentric if you get to know her in the long term, her creativity, carefree attitude and audacity mixing together in weird ways. She is definitely not someone practical, often going for an unnecessarily unconventional solution when an easy one is already available. Going off on tangents. Having “out there” theories and suspicions, and being very susceptible to superstitions. Thankfully she is indolent or lazy and takes her missions with seriosity… though it can help to make sure the instructions are clear.

Personality:
Avinne is a sweet girl with an air of grace and elegance, though these are just the first impressions, it does not take long for one to see the girl’s more eccentric and irreverent side. She is a friendly person, sometimes a bit cheeky, but still someone that is naturally kind. Before she focused on magic she tried out many sorts of artistic expression and sees magic very much in the same way, even if the application of it is more active. While not selfish, she is not exactly selfless either, in allegoric terms, she would share a meal with someone who is hungry but would not starve for the sake of someone else.

Background:
The girl has a very mundane background, in truth. She lived in a small town in the countryside and grew up a relatively normal life as the single child of a middle-class family, her most distinct aspect being her ability when it came to drawing and her large apetite. She could use magic since she was young, but just never told anybody or realized it was uncommon, this fact just being discovered by others when a friend accidentally dropped her own birthday cake into the floor and Avinne just snapped another one into the table. From there onward she was led into the world of magic and told not only about how much more she could do with her skills, but also about the tales of the mages of the past.

The girl quickly came to love that aspect of her life and to her, it was as fun to try magic out as it was to draw or talk with friends. Soon the possibility of joining a guild came to her mind, and there was none that interested her more than Fairy Tail, it felt like they would be the only ones who would not be judgemental of her skills.
