[VarionusNW]

I think it is fine.

Varionus, an intro post?

[Keyblade87]

Cool I was really hoping it wasn't going to be broken

[Krein]

Name: Lyall Castellan

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Lyall stands at around 5'10", an average height for someone his age. He has a strong and athletic looking build, but doesn't exactly look like some star athlete capable of benching 1000 pounds and running a marathon all in one day. The duelist has black and wavy hair which covers his ears and falls down just a bit below his neck, meaning he can twirl his hair with ease when he's acting all non-chalant and carefree during duels. Lyall's skin is brown in tone, and would probably look darker if he didn't always wear his usual getup of dark blue jeans, dark brown boots, crimson shirt, and black coat. He has the crest of the Iswarm on his right hand.

Background: Lyall comes from a place called Aria City, a location noted for its wealthy groups, top duelists, luxurious scenes, and behind the scenes degradation and corruption. A place like this was a place for the wealthy, so if you were poor, you were shit out of luck and either had to resort to crime or begging the city and wealthy for whatever aid you could get.
Lyall and his family were not that unfortunate, and were in fact one of Aria City's more influential groups. They weren't all too bad, and actually made several decent efforts in improving the morality of the wealthy and conditions of the less fortunate. Lyall did his part by becoming a duelist and participating in the city's grand tournaments, afterwards using the prize money for good causes around Aria City. An all around good kid even with his pride...
His works attracted the attention of the Luxim Association, the city's prime group. Dueling its members to prove his skill, Lyall was drafted into the Association, where he learned that its purpose was to protect society from the malevolent beings of the Shadow Realm and rogue Shadow Duelists as well.
Lyall was honored to be part of such a noble work and carried out his tasks of confiscating decks inhabited by dark duel spirits after defeating their owners. Everything was going well for him and the association until the day he found a deck inhabited by his first Iswarm monster, Evilswarm Kerykeion....
Things took a different turned afterwards, with Lyall keeping the Iswarm cards he'd find for himself and allowing his spirit to become tainted by their power. He went rogue on the Luxim Association, and afterwards did quite a bit of memorable things that turned Aria City upside down, inside out...

Personality: I'm leaving this blank, I'd rather RP it out than try and get everything down here.

*Custom Cards*

1. Abyss of Infestation
Type: Field Spell Card
Effect: Face-up "Iswarm" monsters you control gain 500 attack. "Evilswarm" monsters you control are also treated as "Steelswarm" monsters. During your draw phase, you can select one Iswarm or Infestation card in your graveyard and add it to your hand instead of conducting your normal draw. The selected card cannot be set or played this turn.

2. Steelswarm Egg Cluster
Type: Trap Card
Effect: Tribute one Steelswarm monster you control and take damage equal to half its attack. Special summon two "Steelswarm Egg Tokens" (Level 1, Atk/Def: 0/2000). These tokens cannot be used for the summon of another monster, except a "Steelswarm" monster.

3. Goliath, the First Steelswarm
Level 10
Atk/Def: 3500/0
Effect: You can only normal summon this card by tributing three Steelswarm monsters you control. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects the turn this card is summoned. Once per turn, you can target one Steelswarm monster in your graveyard and special summon it. Then, you can activate its effect (you do not pay the cost, if needed). The special summoned monster cannot attack the turn it is summoned.

Image: Goliath resembles Steelswarm Hercules, but is larger and more fierce looking. Goliath's body is jet black and covered in white markings and patterns, and the Steelswarm crest on his chest burns a bright red color. His head does not have the Stag Beetle design Hercules has, but it does have a large horn resembling. Goliath Beetle's protruding from the front.

4. Steelswarm Diebefly
Fiend/Dark
Level 4
Atk/Def: 1800/0
Effect: You can special summon this card if you control a face-up Steelswarm monster. When this card is tributed for the summon of a Steelswarm monster, select one monster your opponent controls. Its effect is negated, and it loses attack equal to its level x100.

Image: This monster resembles a Robber Fly, but is obviously larger, humanoid, and more monstrous looking.

5. Steelswarm Termite
Fiend/Dark
Level 4
Atk/Def: 1600/0
Effect: When this card is tributed for the summon of a Steelswarm monster, you can place it in your opponent's Spell/Trap Card zone instead. While there, spell and trap cards your opponent activates are negated and destroyed. At the end of your next turn after placing it in your opponent's Spell/Trap Card Zone, send it to the graveyard.

Image: Termite resembles..... a humanoid demon termite. It is bronze in color, with some dark patterns here and there.

6. Steelswarm Wasp
Fiend/Dark
Level 6
Atk/Def: 2600/0
Effect: When this card is summoned by tributing a Steelswarm monster, you can pay 1000 lifepoints and target one monster your opponent controls. Destroy it and inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monsters attack. This card cannot attack this turn if you activate this effect.

Image: Steelswarm Wasp appears like a tall, humanoid wasp. The body form gives away its female gender, and it is mostly pale gold and marked with black patterns. She has two pairs of large insect wings, and bears a large, barbed stinger instead of a flexible tail like other Steelswarms. The Steelswarm crest is located on her abdomen.

7. Steelswarm Scarab

And done. That took me forever to write up...

[VarionusNW]

ok those custom cards. HOLY FUCKING GOD WTF THATS OP. my brain hurts of the OP-ness (say that [not a] word out loud a few times)

Abyss of infestation: 500 atk gain? with an extra bit of archetype synergy, oh and a recycle effect, in exchange for your "Normal draw during your draw phase" (correct phrasing)

all of the steelswarms you have use effects that benefit from the extra synergy (even if it is just more targets for tributing)
this makes the rest of it a bit crazy to me. I have never played Lswarms, but with any deck giving all of your monsters a plus 500 atk and the ability to get them back from your grave. Unless you can show me a legit reason this isn't OP, put some sort of cost/ lower the benefit.

Goliath....holy fuck that's OP you have to tribute 3 monsters to summon it? no big deal, your deck is basically built to get this thing out, with the cluster and whatnot.
Imagine this thing. if you have that field spell, you get a board wipe, otherwise it is a once per turn Harpies feather duster/Raigeki. The attack is outrageous, no matter how you look at it. the best 3 level (4 or lower) XYZ monsters have at most 3950 atk (normal monster) the other, 2800 with a reasonable effect that is not OP, given its cost and stats.

Goliath needs not just an effect change, but a stat reduction.

Goliath but more fair

Level 10

This card must first me normal summoned by tributing 3 "steelswarm" monsters you control. If you control a face up "Abyss of infestation" this cards normal summon cannot be negated. If this card is normal summoned while "Abyss of infestation" is on the field, you can pay 1000 life points, destroy all other cards on the field. You cannot conduct your battle phase the turn this card is summoned.
Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 card in your hand, then activate the following effect that corresponds to the card-type of the removed from play card.

Spell: Destroy all face-up spell and trap cards on the field.
Trap: Destroy all set spell and trap cards on the field.
Monster: Destroy all face-up monsters on the field, except this card.

This card cannot attack the turn this effect of " Goliath, the first steelswarm" is activated. You can only control 1 "Goliath, the first steelswarm"
2900/0

again, i dont play lswarms, so i dont know if that would even work, but given the other cards, this should be fine, atleast stat-wise.

I was going to complain about clusters effect (defense is kind of high) but i see with the obvious intention for tributing it is kind of needed. though i do think it needs some sort of a small cost.

And done. That took me forever to write up...

[Krein]

Okay, made some edits to the custom cards. Also added in an extra deck, which I forgot about earlier.

[Keyblade87]

Haha that would have been some serious Anime Logic there. "Oh look I can synchro summon a card I don't even have! "

[Krein]

Or in my (and Yuma's) case, XYZ summon.

Yuma: I shall now XYZ the monster that just appeared in my deck to turn this duel around!

Everyone who actually plays by the rules: Wait... you can't just add cards to your decks during the duel! That's illegal....

Back to the custom cards, I still kind of want Goliath to have 4000 attack. The main problem people had with Hercules is that his attack was too low for a level 10 (they even said his effect sucked), so I decided to create a new "boss" monster for the Steelswarms that was superior to him. I'll still be tweaking him before using him, that way I can come out with a boss monster that is better than Hercules but still fair to others.

[Krein]

Goliath, the First Steelswarm
Level 10
Atk/Def: 3500/0
Effect: This card can only be normal summoned by tributing 3 Steelswarm monsters you control. If summoned while Abyss of Infestation is on the field, no other cards or effects can be activated for the rest of this turn, and you can pay 1000 lifepoints to destroy all cards on the field but this one. Once per turn, you can target one Steelswarm monster in your graveyard. Special summon it, and if it requires a tribute(s) to be normal summoned, you can activate its effect (you do not pay the cost).

I'll just throw this version out there to see how it fares. I'm also beginning to have second thoughts about using this deck, so depending on the other decks we get, I might switch over to a pure/mostly pure Steelswarm deck.

Just... ugh... I dunno, I'm really stressed out right now for some reason. My CS feels like shit and I'm already starting to think my deck might be too powerful for what I otherwise supposed to be a fun and casual Yugioh RP. I don't want to be the reason this RP grows unenjoyable.

Just add a personality and your set.

[Krein]

Uh, I did say I'd prefer to RP that out. I don't know about you, but describing a character's personality just seems restrictive. Particularly when I just made that character and have no idea what to do with him. Hell, I might just drop his backstory completely and make up a new one.

[Keyblade87]

I personaly think the lswarms are like dark counterparts to the Lightsworn so having the two in the same RP would be awesome hell maybe we could have our characters be step brothers or something I'd be glad to work out things like that if you wanted.

YUGIOH! The series where cards posses people, card games are played 5000 years in the past and where 4kids censor away all the guns!
