Welcome, everyone! If you have questions, ask away! There aren't any positions to reserve, so there's no need for it. You can still state your intention to join, if you so like.

PS: If I need to use this post for any administrative purposes, I shall edit it later.

You knew I'd be here, Hunter, but I thought I'd let everyone else know too.

Thank you for doing so, @Buggiedude2340!

Also, @ty7lucky, I've noticed you submitted a character profile. I'm impressed by your enthusiasm, but there are a few matters I'd just like you to address before I approve. It's nothing serious, I just want to ensure clarity.
♦ You haven't included a name or nickname for your character in the two appropriate bars, which is a prerequisite for each profile.
♦ In your character's description, you mentioned only eye and hair colour, as well as one piece of clothing. You also need to add race, skin colour, hair style, and general comments on facial structure and body build, please.
♦ At the moment, your character sounds like an apprentice blacksmith that also dabbles in swordplay and magic, which sounds much like a chameleon. If your character is a jack-of-all-trades, please just mention that somewhere. You know what, I'll just add a new category in the character template for that. I'll edit it into yours so that you can just complete it.
♦ Your character is young and doesn't necessarily have any stories to tell of his adventures, but at the moment he just seems... I don't know, a little bland? I am aware I asked for brevity, but too little detail is also not ideal, so if you could fleshen out your character a bit, that would be great, thanks!

If anything I said was confusing or unclear, just go ahead and ask. To anyone else, I added a new category to the CT, so just be aware of that, please.

I'm definitely joining. Sadly, I have no idea what my character is going to be, so give me a couple of days to- oh, oh, never mind, I know exactly what I'm doing.

Welcome, @Desdemona! It's great to have you.

@ty7lucky, your changes were spot-on. It still looked a little short at first, but the brevity of your character profile is perfect. It has been approved.

@Buggiedude2340, your character profile has also been approved. It's not at all what I had expected, but then again, it's one of your CPs, so it's not surprising. Reading about him will be amusing indeed.

@TheCrimsonLady and @Desdemona, your character profiles have been accepted! Both are quite enjoyable. Buggie, you don't have to worry about too few females. ;)

Since when do I ever do the expected?

Unfortunately, I will be out of town for the week after this SB gets its first post. Is there anything I can do before the 15th?

If we don't get any new participants soon, I might have to start creating NPCs. Interesting as it would be, I don't think our "Guild" will get very far if they consist of three humans barely into adulthood, a pixie that can't attack, and a fiery bipedal jackal/wolf. (I have @TheCrimsonLady to thank for Lucien's race, by the way.) If anyone wants to create another character, you're welcome to. Otherwise, I'll just create some more characters to balance it out. I'm also open to suggestions, naturally.

I think a few posts (which would bring this SB back to the top of the thread) might help with garnering attention. As much as planning helps, we also do need to get this SB out there. The seventeenth may be quite the wait.

Yeah, posting sooner would be better. It seems waiting too long to post can kill the excitement. I'll start working on one within the next few days, but we need to decide what to do first. We can wait for people to join, but as the cast currently stands, they don't have very good odds for taking down things like rocs and wyverns. If we are going to start without further participants so long, we need to make a decision.

I have started writing the post! @Desdemona (why is Pusheen angry? D: ) and @ty7lucky, if you would like to help with creating the lore, find me on PM sometime! @Buggiedude2340 and @TheCrimsonLady have already come forward with some ideas, so don't be afraid to join in. If you can't find me, you can always chat among yourselves and/or post here in the DT. I could even create a pad if you'd prefer that.

The races we have so far are:
♦ Humans
♦ Auriles - a bipedal jackal/wolf race with brown or golden coats that can also interbreed with humans
♦ Lycans - a rare variant of human that looks like a tall Aurile with a dark brown, grey or black coat
♦ an unnamed avian race that I still have to discuss with Buggie (or anybody else)
♦ Sirens
♦ Selkies
♦ Pixies
♦ Brownies - a race of small, industrious humanoids
♦ Elementals - a race of humanoids that is elementally charged with either Fire, Ice, or Electricity

Any contributions are welcome!

Sorry for triple posting, but @ty7lucky has submitted a new character profile. I'm ready to accept it, but I just wanted to know whether @Buggiedude2340 still wanted a Lycan character, since she expressed interest in one at a previous occasion. Other than that, I only changed the enchanted robes to be worth two layers of armour, Ty, because ten is a bit over-powered.

Also, could you describe what kind of magic Orin uses? Just so I can know whether they have to find another mage. @Desdemona has a mage too, but I don't know what kind of magic she uses either. If both are purely combat-oriented, that's perfectly fine. We'd prefer to have two offensive mages anyway. Then they can simply get a support mage later, since we need a healer.

Should the NPCs remain just that, or should I have them apply like the others? I don't want to hog them all, so if you other three want one (though Buggie may or may not claim an actual Lycan), let me know. I'll work with the assumption that they're NPCs while writing my post, but I can edit anything if necessary.
