Welcome to Mage Manor, the finest and most beautiful place on the NTWF or orbiting it. Here gather those blessed with magical abilities and those who have gained their ability through hard work. We have extensive libraries, laboratories, living quarters and all amenities needed for your modern mage. That does include a well stocked kitchen and chefs whose cooking is to die for...as long as you don't mind that they're golems. Most of our staff are animated with magical spells which allow you, the mage, to keep up this comfortable style of living. We are protected not just by magical barriers all around the grounds but also by the Stone Guardian sitting outside who you've no doubt met. In this part of the Manor, you can suggest improvements for the guild, ask any questions that you have or simply try to motivate everyone if the guild becomes particularly quiet. Generally, anything reguarding the guild should be posted here, obviously. How can you join these amazing people you ask? Very easily! Here, you shall be presented with a book, containing this form: Name:
Nickname: (optional)
Appearance:
Clothing:
Skills or abilities:
Weapons/other combat enhancers:
Other special abilities:
Anything else we should know about you:Or alternatively, you can link us to your Guild Persona Thread entry and just give us a name as well as your magic style. As soon as you fill that in, the book will record you onto the list along with your speciality and the form shall be saved for reference in the Mage Library. We currently have no formal ranking system and are debating if we need one, although it is wise to listen to what the senior mages who have around for a while have to say. Some mages do like to take on apprentices. If you wish to seek an appenticeship with another mage, it is normally wise to contact them and work out a deal.
Hunter (master) and Jackie (apprentice)
Our rules are very common-sense; no teasing or graffiting the Stone Guardian outside, not going closer to mysterious portals that sometimes open up in the basement, no listening to the demons that come out of those portals and offer you powers in exchange for your soul, respect our Librarian's books because bad things happen if you don't, no going to the basement peroid etc.
Seriously, don't. We apparently have a bad Underdeep problem in the basement.
So go ahead, the Manor awaits. ^^And yes, we know it's a bit messy. Just bear with us. >> Exploring the mysteries of the universe does not lend itself to a clean house, even with our golems working non-stop. |

I am so definitely in. ^^ NOTE: Aly's character has changed a bit from how i used to roleplay her--since I took a hiatus from the NTWF boards a while ago, she powers have changed a little. I'm getting them straightened out still, but here we go. EDIT: Updated now, and hopefully a bit more descriptive of her abilities. Name: Allianne Chandler
Nickname: Aly; also goes by Firebreaker, Hellcat, and a few other names
Appearance: About 5'6", long brown hair that goes down to her waist, chocolate eyes. She doesn't have any other outstanding features, though she does have a few scars in various places; none that she keeps particular note of, though.
Clothing: Usually, she wears a short red-hemmed shirt over breeches and boots, and a red robe hemmed with silver ribbon on top of that. The robe is held together by small clasps, which are gold in color and shaped in wing-like holds. She's almost never seen without a small, emerald pendant at her throat either, and typically has a belt with her dagger, knives, flash powder, and a few other things at her waist.
Skills or abilities:
Fire Magic: Shaping/controlling/conjuring fire, of two types--normal, and magical (which can be adjusted for temperature and uses her energy to burn, such that it can be sustained on things like metal where it shouldn't be able to burn). She's best with bringing precise amounts up in short amounts of time, and good with conjuring it in most any place or form (a wall of flame for a barrier, etc.). Due to lots of combat experience, she's also pretty good with having her concentration interrupted but being able to keep control over her magic.
Dark Magic: A small amount, forced on her and now permanently part of her magical aura. Dark magic in her world affects the mind (where light affects the world outside a person, dark affects the world within). Allowing her reserve of fire magic to dip below the amount of dark she has is apparently a bad idea, though she hasn't pushed it that far. It's currently kept in check by the combined efforts of Lika and herself. She has several uses for it--with permission, she can 'tag' a person with dark magic, which gives the target an easy way to sense the presence of other dark mages or magic and allows Aly some control over them if needed. She can also conjure dark fire, a form of fire that is focused purely on inflicting pain on another person (though the pain dissipates almost immediately after they leave), and has practiced some with affecting other people's sight a little and making herself 'invisible' for split seconds in battle.
Weapons/other combat enhancers: Primary weapon is her bow and arrows, of which she has a quiver full and several varieties. Several of her arrows are shorter than the others--this allows her to hide a few of the rarer fletchings she has. When at too close of a range for arrows to be effective, she has a dagger and a few thin throwing knives. Fire magic is prominent in her attacks, usually combined with one of these weapons.
Other special abilities: She's decent at cooking? XD
She also has a familiar, Lika (LY-kah) who has been with her for many years. Lika acts as a sarcastic partner for banter as well as a mentor and friend, while storing magical energy in reserve. (Her size partially depends on this). She has wood-brown fur with darker stripes along her length and bright green eyes, as well as white fur for her belly and a spot of white on her forehead that marks her as a Mystic. About to halfway up Aly's thigh in height, she can borrow some of Aly's power and use it herself, though she tends not to do that often.
Anything else we should know about you: Aly's a mischievous deviant little sixteen/seventeen year old with mercenary tendencies and a habit for 'weapons first, questions later'. Despite that, she does consider herself bound to honor and promises. She also has a fear of dark magic and dark mages that has lightened somewhat, but which can still leave her paralyzed at times. Most times, she just gets irritated and tends to stay away. |

As the creation of this thread and my post were simply placeholders, I'm going to delete it so Celes can have the first post. ^^
On that note, I'll always consider myself a mage, but given that I haven't participated in the guilds at all lately, and that the next big event is GWIII (Anyone who's seen me try knows that I can't keep up with roleplays for the life of me, much less one as big as that. XD; ) I'm not sure I should register here officially... but go mages! <3

Name: Sariphe Brightfeather
Nickname: Sarn
Species: Feberi
Character Type: Knight and Mage
Age: 25
Height: 6'2"
Mantle: Golden
Title: The Divine Essence, Archer of the Heavens
Appearance: Sariphe is very tall with pale, almost translucent skin. Other than his wings, purple irises and a fine, alien bone structure are the only indications that Sariphe isn't quite human. His facial features are long and narrow with fine lines of symmetry and a thin mouth and long features give Sariphe's face an ethereal appearance.
Sariphe’s pure white hair falls down to brush its tips against his thin shoulders and is a source of much admiration for those who are unfamiliar with Feberi colouring. The messy tumble of hair is bright with thin strands of silver and glows in the moonlight.
Exceptionally long fingers give Sariphe dexterity and very small, mostly hollow bones make him lightweight and able to fly long distances. The muscles of Sariphe's back and chest are long and thin, but very tough and strong. They are built for endurance flight, although Sariphe can carry an adult human for quite a long time before requiring rest.
Huge golden wings with a span of over 14 feet allow for extra maneuverability in the air as well as quick turns and fancy aerobatics. Sariphe's streamlined body also helps with wind resistance, giving him the ability to exert quick bursts of speed while flying.
Personality: Driven mostly by emotion, Sariphe is a highly passionate being, feeling extremes of love and hate, joy and despair, and sometimes all at the same time. He is known to be impulsive, acting with little thought for the consequences that might follow any given action. In stark contrast to this, Sariphe is prone to bouts of quiet, thinking deep thoughts and preferring to be alone, oftentimes flying to an unreachable height to simply sit and watch the stars or to sing softly to the night.
He is loyal, deeply loving of everyone and everything, full of compassion and emotion. The driving force behind Sariphe’s actions is most often the welfare of friends and family, though a selfish trait, born of Feberi heritage, has sometimes reared its head and Sariphe has been unable to resist its effects.
Clothing: Having wings makes clothing a difficult thing for Sariphe. Though he has been known to resort to remaining bare-chested, he does not do this often, preferring to wear a pair of dark purple or black breeches with a simple white shirt with slits for him to force his wings through. Sariphe sometimes wears a dark golden brown open vest, or a purple cloak edged with gold thread. His footwear consists of a pair of simple boots in boring black or brown.
Armour: Sariphe rarely dons armour except when going into close combat, though his armour is fairly basic. A simple chain mail shirt over a tunic, a dark leather belt. The chain mail has openings at its back to allow Sariphe's wings through, but this makes it weak in that area.
Weapon of Choice: Crafted by Sariphe's father, his yew bow is four feet tall from tip to tip and fitted with golden chasings. It has a fine golden thread for the string and gilded feathers at each tip. The arrows are hand crafted by Sariphe with magical tips of fire and fletched with feathers from his own wings. The arrows are enchanted by the Feberi archer to always return to him.
Sariphe also carries a sword, passed down by his family for generations, though he is unskilled with the weapon and prefers to keep it safe rather than use it. He holds much disdain for such cumbersome weapons as longswords, but his sword is light and traced with veins of fire magic that give it a soft golden glow.
It has a plain, double-edged blade with a leather grip and gilded hilt. The scabbard is of plain black leather with a cross-hatch stitched in thin golden thread, but the point of the scabbard is gilded in the shape of two rising wings, following the outline of the sword.
Magical Capabilities: Through his connection with the Star Dance, Sariphe can manipulate the world around him using song. He has a database of melodies stored in his mind and, given the right situation, can call to mind, or improvise any song to suit his purpose. He is most adept at fire and light enchantment but can also stretch to others. One area in which Sariphe has no skill is healing. |

Ikkin, reporting for duty once again. ^_^ ...not that I have much in the way of duties, but... Name: Ikkin
Nickname: (optional) None that I want everyone calling me. j;)
Appearance: Long, layered golden-brownish hair, kitsune ears and tail of the same color, hazel eyes. About 5' 6"
Clothing: Long-sleeved shirts and long skirts, usually in shades of blue or dark red.
Magical powers: Wind manipulation (pressure darts and pressure shields of various levels of power, floating/flying, manipulating the winds to do things like change the direction or create hurricanes) and some fire abilities (blasting people with kitsune-fire and creating shields to deflect elemental magic, mostly). Can summon Sev, an irritable phoenix who thinks nothing of toasting people who annoy him that still is willing to heal people for her... even if it's his fault that they need healing.
Weapons/other magic augmenters: (if applicable; wands, staffs, and amulets count) An amethyst necklace and a light purple crystalline sword that can augment magical power that's put into it.
Other special (non-magical) abilities: fairly accomplished swordfighter, has the ability to act as the sensible one if the situation calls for it. I might update this more later; I just wanted it up quickly so I'd be set for GWIII. >.> |

Post by Ian Wolf-Park on Dec 8, 2009 8:39:50 GMT -5
Name:Ian Park, but he prefers the name Lupehunter
Nickname: N/A
Appearance:See profile in Dramatis Personae
Clothing:Similar to profile in Dramatis Personae , except he doesn't wear a trenchcoat.
Skills or abilities: When in his human form, he knows plenty of healing spells. He can blend in with the shadows while in his wolf form, but hates using this ability for unknown reasons. Although he is primarily a fire magic user (in both his human and wolf forms), he has been known to use light magic on occasion.
Weapons/other combat enhancers: Two daggers, which is rumored to transform into a twin bladed staff. Can also summon a simple staff with a ruby on one end.
Other special abilities: Knows a lot of animal languages, including Weewoos. Also has the ability to transform into a wolf.
Anything else we should know about you: He often asks questions if he wants some clarification or more information, much like what a detective would do. Relies heavily on his 'wolf's intuition', as he terms it, for helping him out with various activities and identifying enemies.
Actually, while I'm writing this up, I'll link my DP profile: ntwriters.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=persona&action=display&thread=35396 |

Post by Omni on Dec 8, 2009 15:01:06 GMT -5
I have a post on the guild persona thread, but I'll post a shorter, and alternative version here. Name: Omniscia Nickname: Omni, Omnicron, Om-nom-nomni, etc. Appearance: When she's not a Human or Zafara, Omni is a Chimera with a strong resemblance to her Zafara form, in appearance as well as other traits. She has the black markings of a fox, the tail of a lion, the legs and fur of a wolf, with a face that resembles a mix of all three. Other than that, she is identical: The same fiery fur, in the same pattern, the same eagle-wings, the same blue eyes, the same hands with four, stubby fingers, and the same three-toes on digitigrade feet. She even maintains her non-magical ability to switch between biped and quadruped. Clothing: Same as Zafara form: Usually a red collar with a small, VERY-pale-blue, round crystal with this symbol. Sometimes a bell on her tail. Also, she has a belt/fanny pack that she wears with the 'pack' part in front, where it's easily accessible, among other things. May wear other clothing on occasion. Skills or abilities: Same as Zafara form: Energy detection and manipulation, specifically any energy that gives (well, is) an aura. She can take and give this energy, as well as use it for various spells. (She cannot cast spells with her own energy alone.) She stores this energy in her crystal, which gives several supportive abilities. Weapons/other combat enhancers: The crystal may be considered a 'combat enhancer,' as it enhances her magical abilities. She also has a dagger she received in the first Guild's War, and has since lined with silver. She wears this in a sheath she connects to her belt-pack. Also, she has her teeth, claws, and mind. Other special abilities: Same as Zafara form: Has enhanced senses, much like the animals in her mix. However, as a side effect, she can't taste sweet (lemonade is just sour, chocolate is always dark, etc.). Can jump high and, of course, her wings give her flight. Anything else we should know about you: She senses auras by 'feeling' them, very much like the sense of touch, when she comes near them. She can tell many things by how an aura feels. The Crystal is semi-sentient and will only allow people other than Omni to access the energy stores with permission. She is largely carnivorous, and doesn't benefit as much from other foods. Also, while she is the same person, and has the same personality traits, how prominent each trait is varies somewhat between forms. Yeah, I want to do my Chimera form more. I've decided to use it for GW3. |

Name: Liyer(leer)
Nickname: None currently.
Appearance: A snowy Himalayan cat with blue dark blue eyes. Normal size and weight for a housecat.
Clothing: Cats don't wear clothing. Well, there's a single unadorned silver ring in his left ear, but I'm trying to make a point.
Skills or abilities: Heightened feline senses, can see in the dark, agile, the usual cat stuff.
Weapons/other combat enhancers: Nothin' but claws and fangs.
Other special abilities: He has the ability of speech, but other than that he's not very magical. Yet.
Anything else we should know about you: Doesn't like being called a normal old housecat. Who would? Came upon the manor one day and claimed it as his home, so his past it a bit unclear. Tries to be snarky or deadpan, and is very genre-savvy. I hope I did the spoiler boxes right. Otherwise, that's about it :3 |
