[OOC] Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

[Raijinslayer]

@Silvan HavenTrue, but it's best to get into the habit of doing so early. A post can quickly get buried do to the sheer number of people this RP has, and if you don't have a mention, it's very likely that the post will go unnoticed until you bring it up later.

[MarshiestMallow]

What is going on?

[twave]

Ariel was the person Lux was talking to when he offered to help.

I did not think that a mention was needed for people who already knew I was interacting with them. Eh, I guess each group plays differently.

@Silvan Haven

Well I was on and able to see it shortly after it was posted. But we have quite a few people in this RP interacting with people everywhere. So if I went to bed and then came back hours later when there are pages of new posts, I might miss it because I'm not mentioned. It's mostly because there can be a lot of posts at which point I may start skimming.

What is going on?

@Caits

Silvan Haven and HereComesTheSnow started posting. Just going through the usual with newcomers.

[Silvan Haven]

All it takes is about thirty seconds of scrolling until you see the avatar of the person you are interacting with.

I mean I'll do it. Its just that I have not needed it in my last three or fours years of doing this kind of stuff

@Silvan Haven

Well it's easier to get away with given we only have one character each. So if you don't want to do it that's fine. But some others (Caits for example) can have many different people and various characters to reply to on top of running the RP and such. It can just make things easier sometimes.

But logically yes, it should be straight forward to know when someone has replied to you. It may be a moot point for you but perhaps not for others. There's a reason posts get overlooked and they need to be pointed out for a reply later.

As for ever needing mentions, I wish the TechTV forums had them like they do here back in 2003. Single thread RPs are cumbersome in my opinion once you surpass a certain number of characters. They work, but they can get messy.

And done! About as quickly as I thought. Even if I did give up some sleep.

Cyare Staunton

Name: Cyare Staunton the Pawn
Age: 22
Birthday: March 1st
Magic: Tactician’s Magic:
Tactician’s Magic works on two fronts. The first is a set of enhancements that work alongside every other form of Tactician’s Magic, and can be active at any time with a mere thought. This set of enhancements focuses on the mind and the senses; Cyare’s thought processes progress more quickly than any other human, and process more information as well. Secondly, her senses take in more bulk data (though are otherwise no more refined) granting her a much more perceptive view of her environment.

Secondly, her magic consists of six unique Forms. The Pawn, the Knight, the Rook, the Bishop, the Queen, and the King. The Pawn is her baseline form, and one that she enters automatically when engaging in combat. From it she can Rank Up into different forms, each with their own set of requirements. Cyare does not, at this time, know how to Rank Up into every form.

Pawn: The most basic form, Pawn, represents a one and a half times boost to Cyare’s strength and speed, as well as endurance. The sword she carries has no unusual properties.

Rook: The Rook can only be invoked when one of Cyare’s allies has been harmed. She loses her sword in exchange for a large teardrop shield and mace. She can Castle, switching positions instantaneously with an ally, but the Rook’s most notable ability is in its endurance. The Rook will not stop Cyare from accumulating injuries, but it will stop her from feeling them. It will prevent her from falling unconscious, as well. In fact, the Rook Form will not permit Cyare to go down as long as the ally that led to its activation is still in danger. If it is physically possible for Cyare to go on, the Rook will keep her going. While she received no boosts to speed, the Rook is twice as strong as Cyare would naturally be.

Knight: The Knight’s activation condition is fairly simple; Knight Form can be Ranked into any time Cyare knows an enemy magician is in the battle. This stems naturally from the fact that, at its most basic, the Knight is Anti-Magic. While it is active, Magic requires more and more effort the closer one is to her. A fireball thrown at her, for example, will wither and die as it approaches. Magic that enhances one’s body will be less and less effective as you draw near. Within melee range, the effects of Magic are nearly nonexistent. On the flip side, Cyare gains no boosts of her own while in Knight Form, and the power affects those around her indiscriminately. As Knight, she has access only to the longsword she carries.

At this time, Cyare has not shown the ability to Rank Up into Bishop, Queen, or King.

Magic Level: A
History: Cyare grew up in a remote village that was all too familiar with Dark Guilds. Members of one would come through every few weeks, cause a little trouble, and leave. Her family wasn’t the most well off to begin with, but the need to repair damages to their business just made it worse. So Cyare learned, from an exceptionally young age, that people couldn’t always defend yourself. And the people who can protect them? All too often aren’t around, or cost too much for their services. And when you can’t count on someone else to protect what you care about, you do it yourself.

So Cyare began to learn Magic, and one day, the Dark Guild members found her at the village gate. Neither they, nor their comrades, elected to trouble her village again. That was where her reputation began; in the remote mountain range she called home. They called her the Pawn; first mockingly, and later with unironic respect. Over time, she has ventured away from her mountains. Most recently, traveling with a Mage named Rei.
Personality: Matter of fact is the polite way that one would usually describe Cyare. In truth, she seems to border on apathetic and sarcastic. A genuinely compassionate heart lurks beneath, but it is glimpsed with exceptional rarity. None, however, can doubt her drive to accomplish her goals.
Guild and guild mark location: Not currently applicable.
Team Members: Rei
Three Strengths: (Not just combat)
1.Intelligence
2.Situational Awareness
3.Swordsmanship
Three Weaknesses: (Make them Applicable)
1.Expressing Care
2.Boredom
3.Overconfidence
Greatest Love: Good companionship
Motivation: To find a place to belong, where she can safeguard those in need.

Hiwatari Rei

Name: “Fiore’s Fastest Courier” “The Blitzing Magician” “The Lord of the Speed” : 火渡 霊 (Hiwatari Rei)

Age: How rude, do I really look that old to you?

Birthday: If I don’t tell you do I get presents every day?

Magic: Ever heard of the beautiful little art known as Five Heavenly Beasts Body Magic? No of course you haven’t, I’m the only person with such a beautiful form of magic. Regardless the magic lets me imbue the elemental properties of the five Heavenly Beasts: the Azure Dragon of Wood, the Vermillion Bird of Fire, the Yellow Dragon of Earth, the White Tiger of Metal and the Black Tortoise of Water. Pretty awesome I know.

As for what that means in practice, well I’ll break it down by power. First off the White Tiger lets me create metal coatings for my body, most often in the form of claws for arms. That said I’m not limited to just creating claws, it’s just what tends to be the most useful for me. I’ve also been known to employ the coating as a metal shield on my back, a helmet to guard from debris and even a full body cowl. Despite what one might imagine, the highly durable metal does not weigh or slow me down in any respect. I believe that’s a byproduct of the White Tiger’s gifts. That said, as useful as White Tiger is, it’s not the magic that truly speaks to me.

The honor belongs to the Vermillion Bird. It’s the fire from the Vermillion Bird that put me on the map, granting me my esteemed titles. By igniting my inner soul and being, my speed jumps to explosive levels, and yes, I mean that literally. Not only is my speed enhanced, my fists and attacks gain an explosive edge. Simply put, the boost the bird grants my speed and reaction time means that I’m able to outpace just about everyone. So I suggest you avoid challenging me to a race.

Oh and before you ask, yes I can activate both powers at the same time although it is a bit more draining on my magical reserves. Plus it does come with a few limitations, namely that wherever my body is being covered by White Tiger, the effects of Vermillion Bird won’t carry over. So while I may still be extremely fast, if I’m using my claws they’ll lack the explosive edge my fists would otherwise have. Finding ways to use the Beasts in tangent is half the fun.

Now, as for the other three beasts well…

I have no idea, I haven’t learned to use them yet.

Sorry.

Magic Level: This beautiful man? What else could I be other than A-Class.

History: SPOILERS! Jeez, do you really want to spoil the fun. How else am I going to get a cool backstory and flashback arc. I mean come on, have you even seen the show, who spoils their backstory in the first episode.

Oh yeah and I did run into that dweeb while on the road.

Personality: What you didn’t get the jist of it from reading? How dense are you? Anyway some people (read: that dork) might call me arrogant, narcissistic and over all a bit of a jerk. But hey, it takes one to know one. That dork also calls me a jackass, but I think she's just jealous of my obviously superior charm.

Guild and guild mark location: You see this beautiful body? Why would I want to mar it with an ugly tattoo.

Team Members: Well I guess there is that one dork.

Three Strengths:
1. What? Dashing good looks not good enough for you? Fine, I’ll be boring and just mention how fast I am. Or maybe all of you are just too slow. Either way, you’re not gonna catch me.

2. You see my little friends here, right fist and left fist? Well, let’s just say I’ve got plenty of ways of pounding your face in with or without magic. So how ‘bout we just be friends, ain’t that a lot nicer?

3. Have I mentioned how great a liar I am? Or maybe I’m lying now and I suck, but that would make a great liar which means I lied and is your head hurting yet? Good. Well just know that if I need to keep a secret, I guarantee it’ll never come out. Courier’s honour and all that.

Three Weaknesses:
1. Aw, do I have to, it’s no fun spoiling the suspense. Although I guess if I’m being honest I can be rather reckless at times. Getting in way over my head isn’t that uncommon, but hey I’m still kicking so I guess it’s all good.

2. I also suppose that unless White Tiger is in effect taking hits can be a bit devastating for me. I may be really fast, but I’m not the greatest at simply tanking magical attacks.

3. I also kinda have a bad habit of pissing people off.

Greatest Love: Going fast makes me feel alive. My heart beats in hyperdrive.

Motivation: To be the fast there ever was. (Get it?)

Appearance: You see this handsome fellow? That’s little old me. I stand tall, I’ve got pretty blue hair and wonderful long coat. What’s not to love?

Mentions also help other people. Like that mention's post is saved in their notifications until deleted or physically clicked on. A lot of times I skim it before work, then read it again when I have time to post

Also probably useful for people like Caits with like ten characters interacting with 5 other characters xD

[Raijinslayer]

@Onarax@KrayzikkJust a suggestion, but you might want to mention the GM's via reporting your characters, so as to make sure they all see it.(U say repost because mentions don't work when added in after the fact.)

@Onarax @HereComesTheSnow @Silvan Haven @Krayzikk ...eeeeexcellent. The merging process is going as planned.

Welcome to a world of whimsy and magic, friendos. If you're looking for a badass guild to join, one without a bazillion players gumming it up and keeping things from happening, I would heartily recommend the soldier guild Frenzy Plant. Oh, and this RP has its own website too.

Once either Onarax or Krayzikk are accepted, I would be pleased to send my quirky genie Nero your way. I could also do the same with Lux or Jason, if it is so desired.
