as soon as you can tell me how a friend of the God of Riots is in an organization (or would join one) dedicated to protecting order, I'll approve this.
Gisk is right, there aren't any Kithkin in Ravnica… but who cares.
So FVGT, he's, like, a half construct? Humans can't be colorless, unless they lack mana completely for some reason (which you've mentioned), which would be interesting.
And, if your character is a planeswalker, be sure to mention when they were awakened, how, and why are they sojourning in Ravnica.

OOC is up
let's try to be different with the colors, there's lots to chose from. I call u/r!
Not everyone has to necessarily already be affiliated with the Transguild Promenade. My character founded it and has been running it for a while, but yours could just as easily stumble by it in one of the early posts. If you already have been involved with it, be sure to message me regarding the history, so that we can work things out between our characters (and establish a semblance of friendship/rapport)

no longer accepting people.
Ah, Ravnica. City of Guilds. Truly, a crossway of people, ideas and mana. Like any metropolis, it bustles with people, each leading their own lives, crossing and never crossing others'… the ambition of the masses is so low, truly. Survive, live on, repeat endlessly. And yet, such a city could be a keystone to far greater ambitions. Perhaps, after Alara, this is the right plane to focus my attentions on.

Welcome to Ravnica, where the ambitions of the few flow into, alongside and against the ambition of the many. You have always known it to be so, and have always observed from a distance, a step-removed from the anthill. Indeed, your ambitions have always aligned with those of the many -- it is your task to safeguard those ambitions, and make sure an individual ambition does not become too great and threaten the livelihood of everyone else. People speak of the Azorius, and the Dimir, but truly, it is you who have kept balance: you are the Transguild Promenade. An organization not affiliated to any one Guild, dedicated to preserving the chaotic balance of Ravnica. Your life is dangerous, however. There are many who would have you arrested, or beheaded, or worse still. Furthermore, recently, unsettling events have been afoot. You have heard rumors of plots and machinations unlike those before, and an even greater threat, an ambition so overbearing the lesser could end up trampled over.

most probably, though obviously only the ones from ravnica
Gisk said love the concept of using dual colors, but rebelling against the ideals of the guild that usually embodies those colors.
^^^^ this

Quick question. Are there going to be legendary creatures that are summonable in this? and if so if we had a history with them before gaining our spark would they still remember us or would it be like a copy?
since we only pull things from the aether, I'm going to go ahead and say no, legendaries are not allowed.
yeah pretty much
also forget what I said on triple colors.

we can have a certain amount of mana to cast yeah
also we won't exactly be following the printed mana cost: we can all agree on the fact a sphinx will cost more than a fae

these are really cool :o guess who's in charge of creating cool imagery for the Transguild Promenade?
Hi we have people this is beautiful. I can now safely say we need no others! 8D
Gisk -- Ravnica alone of all the multiverse is restrictive, yes, but I also don't see how planeswalkers would reasonably stay in one plane long enough to form an organization dedicated to protecting it. Maybe everyone has different personal ties to it? If so then by all means let us play actual planeswalkers (who don't quite suspect Bolas yet). Let's have a vote, majority goes.
whatever bright individual mentioned it -- yeah, every one of us should play a different color combinations. Very nice interaction that can go on. I think maybe the Promenade's theme, mana wise, should be at least three color combinations, up to maybe even five. To show impartiality. What do you guys think?
As for casting spells and so forth, this is what I have so far. Let us assume we are new planeswalkers who have been sojourning in Ravnica, though this is valid even if we are not planesalkers.
Every creature we have encountered, spell we have learned and artifact we have uncovered is stored in our mind as knowledge. Casting a spell is fairly straightforward. When we wish to summon a creature, we pull it from the aether. If some of you are not familiar with how that works, we basically create a 3D illusion. It's an illusion yes, but it is still capable of ripping your head off. As for mana. What I was thinking is that any being with magic needs to be a) in an area with its mana present and b) the larger the spell, the more time and mana required to cast it. So a druid in a forest is going to be in his home turf, expect him to be able to drop a Worldspine Wurm with (relative) ease. Conversely an illusionist might have more difficulty in a forest. In a large city like Ravnica, there's going to be a flow of all colors at all the time, but this flow is, I reckon, not going to be too overwhelming for any individual color. This means any mage can cast spells at any time in Ravnica, but is going to have difficulty bringing big creatures out.
The front page is updated and contains everything we've discussed so far. I'll be creating the ooc later this evening.
