Looks good minus the X stats. X means you are top 20 in that area in the ENTIRE game, meaning it is unlikely that anyone even has 1, let alone 2. So I would implore you to reconsider (not that its too important since your PC character won't be in the RP really) I would suggest that you write items as items get left behind in-game and that's really important.
Other than that... looks alright. Here's our discord: discord.gg/jjFTcx
Well considering how NPCs are really made by PC and relationship between the PCs are important (since NPC personality is partially determined by PC personality)....
Hey guys, if you haven't been checking discord (which I HIGHLY encourage you to... you practically have to in order to check all the contents out) CS is due this weekend. Finish it and post it in the CS section please. If its not up, you will be dropped. If you are still here, I'm trying to get the RP started soon, please work on your NPC CS too.
Hey everyone, hope everyone is having a decent summer. Been thinking it might help progress with everyone to have a summary system for "normal" posts just like we do in dungeons runs. I've been avoiding it little bit thinking that it might discourage people from writing nutritious posts but I think we are pretty good about it anyways. It'll be useful in situations where we don't have time to read the post in detail but we want to get a quick post out right before a timeskip so we don't lag the game behind. Additionally, I think it might really help if we also post our current time (exact time, GM posts only really indicate "general" time) and our exact location. Think this can be done in summary. One last thing... most folks are good with this but some of us are forgetting to put [@ person's name] for interactions. If you don't want to be accidentally ignored, remember to do that~!
Let's start posting summaries in all our posts, including our time and locations.

Background:
Unknown. Stauffenberg doesn't like talking about his real life very much. When the topic comes up, he often tells impossible tall tales (that changes in detail every time) or cleverly changes the subject so that he doesn't have to talk about it. Although it is little bit concerning, it isn't as if he has anything against anyone finding out about his real self. Rather, he just prefers to keep his game-life separate from his real-life.
Stauffenberg is one of the founding members of the Guild. Being a heavy gamer, he was already a max Level player when the Guild was formed. Although not a very heavy roleplayer within the game, he did have a bit of a cult recognition within the Yggdrasil player base for his style and demeanor. His concept is that of an occult researcher/scientist, who searches out and studies the horrifying yet curious paranormal phenomenons and items in the game. A strange amalgamation of wondrous curiosity and ruthless efficiency, Stauffenberg as many friends and connections in-game; reflecting his veteran status in-game and a trait that proves itself to be highly useful when investigating Yggdrasil for new paranormals.
Personality:
Unknown
Stauffenberg acts very naturally in-game, most assume that this is his real personality as he never acts differently and looks very comfortable being himself. He is a very relaxed and composed individual, never panicking or getting upset. Stauffenberg speaks with a soft but bass tone, choosing to speak in a regal and elaborate manner as if he was a nobleman of the ancient times. He always acts with dignity and respect towards his fellow Guildmates. Even to those he dislikes, Stauffenberg keeps himself well-composed although he would show his contempt with implicated insults.

Stauffenberg has numerous items with myriad of abilities he has collected over years of gaming. In particular he has items related to occult and paranormal, most of them being displayed back in his room of the Guild House. A few are being actively used as Guild House defense. Stauffenberg prefers to equip himself for the mission at hand, making the items above the only real staple items he carries at all times.
Relation to other Guild Mates:
Stauffenberg is on good relations with Volaris, as he appreciates his calm demeanor among other... more colorful Guildmates. The Colonel finds Volaris to be an enjoyable conversational partner, although Stauffenberg privately thinks that Volaris lacks the appreciation for art and music the same way as he does. Nevertheless, Stauffenberg does not let that hold him back when appreciating his friendship with Volaris. Being another one of the founding members of the Guild, Volaris and Stauffenberg are old friends. He enjoys Volaris' visits to his Tower of the Way to enjoy music, tea or books... or all 3 at the same time. Their synergy is decent in the battlefield, with Volaris drawing much aggro from opponents through numbers while Stauffenberg picks off priority targets with massive damage.
The Professor is certainly eccentric but Stauffenberg with his patience doesn't mind too much. As a matter of fact, the fact that Professor Madness is the fun, energetic morale booster for the Guild is something Stauffenberg appreciates; afterall this Guild was created for people to enjoy themselves in their hobbies, a man who can boost others' morales and spread the amusement is someone to be appreciated. Stauffenberg isn't particularly close to the Professor but has never been at odds with him.
Stauffenberg's relationship with Ladata is mercurial throughout the times, although it has never been too bad unlike Ladata's relationship with other members of the Guild. The Colonel is polite and patient to all, he understand innately that Ladata's personality is just a roleplay and she means no real harm to him. To be quite fair, it isn't as if Stauffenberg isn't completely without alternative motives, as Ladata's smithing skills are second to none... almost in the entire game. A lot of the times, Stauffenberg thinks of their relationship as more of a partnership, one that benefit both. Stauffenberg often finds rare ingredients on his journey in-game, Ladata can forge him unique and situational items.
Stauffenberg privately thinks that Azazel is a bit childish, although to be fair that is a quality that isn't necessarily negative given the fact that this is primarily a roleplaying Guild. The Colonel likes him enough to rarely invite him for tea and music, although due to Azazel's personality he often doesn't accept. Stauffenberg doesn't mind however, as they are well synchronized in combat and Azazel's abilities are more than useful.
Stauffenberg respected and enjoyed Viraz's character before disappearing. Unknown to most, Stauffenberg was actually quiet diminished in cheer when Viraz stopped logging onto the game. His stoic but humble personality, combined with his disciplined mindset was something Stauffenberg greatly appreciated. Hoping that he would comeback one day, Stauffenberg actually made a small section in his item collection that are specifically tailored to be used by characters like Viraz.

Appearance:
Baron is a tall, unnaturally skinny being with freakishly long limbs accompanied by equally proportionally long fingers. It is tall enough to stand looming above most men and is smartly dressed in a clean black suit tailored to fit his abnormal physical dimensions. His visible skin, hands and face, is completely white and blank from details. His head is without hair or any facial features, including eyes, nose and mouth. It's slenderman you fools
Species: NA
Name: Baron
Guild Position: Steward of the Keep + Guardian of Tower of the Way
Title: "The Sum of Parts" - When all 4 members of 'Cosmic Four' are present, all of Baron's Attributes are increased to SS rank.
Gender: NA
Age: NA
Background:
Baron was created by Stauffenberg through very unusual means; through a unique, consumable, Ultimate rarity item that allowed the user of the item to custom make an NPC from scratch without any limitations bar the most rudimentary game-balance restriction. Stauffenberg had some knowledge and skill in programming codes for his NPC, although he lacked the ability to draw and create 3-d models. While he had considered asking help from his Guildmates, Stauffenberg eventually decided not to, believing that he wished to create this unique NPC by himself. Hence Baron ended up having very bland visuals, especially to his organic parts. Stauffenberg decided to make the NPC a true horror-themed one and to his credit, the simple visuals did turn out to be rather unsettling to say the least. Baron serves the 'Cathedral of the Damned' as the Steward and as personal assistant to Colonel Stauffenberg. And as extension, Guardian of the Tower of the Way, although that role is slightly debatable. In the case that intruders do arrive in the Tower, Baron merely explains to them the rules of obtaining the key of the Tower and otherwise does not act in a hostile manner towards them. After greeting the intruder, Baron is programmed to move to deeper parts of the Cathedral, sealing off chambers, alerting NPCs of the imminent threat and organizing a defense. As the NPC defenders are defeated one by one, Baron appears a split second before the NPC's HP drops to 0 and teleports them to safety, to the final chamber of the Cathedral. In the case that the intruders do make it there, then Baron finally joins the fight as one of the most powerful combat NPCs of the Guild. Even though Baron will not fight until the last moment, he joins his fellow colleagues in each of their respective zones, aiding them by utilizing the aspect of fear; his visuals alone would be unsettling to most, if not outright terrifying. He teleports around randomly, attempting to surprise the intruders and manipulating various effects of the guild (such as adjusting the volume of the screams or turning out the lights).
Personality:
Baron is very distant in characteristics, speaking in short sentences meant to only get the most basic points across and displaying very little overall personality. He sees himself as part of the Guild Hall, 'Dead Moon Cathedral', like a spirit bound to a object, being unable to leave and abandon the place. He knows all the little nooks and crannies of the entire Guild Hall and its residents and contents, likely better than most of the Player characters who have created the place. However, contrary to his dry personality, he is friendly towards all the Guildmates like his creator... although Baron's definition of friendly consists of not outright ignoring their existence. Baron isn't completely without color however, during free times he "enjoys" (more of a perverse act of obsessing) taking a tally of every logistical aspect of the Guild, anything from expended consumable items to the amount of currency left in the Vault. At all times he is aware of the exact state of the Guild, including who is located where.

Baron carries no items minus his clothing item, as Stauffenberg prefers to equip him according to the situation.
Relation to other NPCs: Baron's on very passive relation with other NPCs of the Guild. He's anything but gregarious and friendly towards others, but just like his creator there is no one he is on particularly bad relation with. Baron faces the irony of being a very quiet individual but also being assigned to a communicative role of Steward. He gets by somehow. Although he rarely shows it, he does hold particularly decent regard for Sagi and Asherah. Sagi likely due to both of them having taciturn personalities and Baron seems to appreciate silence. Asherah... harder to say, perhaps its her reserved and polite nature.
Other:
Baron was created by a unique Ultimate rarity item in-game; the effect of the item was to create a total custom NPC that is able to take Skills, Spells and Actions without any Class, Subclass or Species restrictions. However, there are several limitations set:
- This character's Attributes are set to S rank and cannot be changed through any items, effects or statuses. - This character possesses all the Skills available in-game except they are set to A rank and cannot be changed through any items, effects or statuses.
