We Could Be Villains

Rengato

We have someone already doing an internship or apprenticeship of sorts, so that is entirely possible. Your Knight's squire thing brings up an interesting point that that I think Living will hate me for thinking about soon enough. XD
So I thank you whole-heartedly on that front good person.

Hey, whatever I can do to help. o/

You can just call me Kat or Villains. Either works.

I guess now I just need to find a pair to buddy up with? I'd hate to make a character, just to have to ret-con 50% of the content.

You can if you want, or make the character and have them pair up with someone later on in-RP. It's really up to you. I'm sure there's Mages foaming at the mouths to get a Knight at this point since they've overpopulated the guild. And if you make a Mage that would make my day, just follow the first three Mages' examples of a good Mage to make. And Jammer, they did a pretty good job making one.

Oh, don't tempt me. Believe me when I say a Mage would be the comfortable choice.
Even if my usual genre is SciFi. =w=;

Maybe a Knight would be the best choice, just to ensure the numbers aren't too off.

Also, since I was sent an invitation, do I still need to provide post samples/portfolio work? I have both, but I haven't written on Gaia extensively in a few years, so those specific samples are a tad old at this point. Not to say they're not still solid, but you know how writing evolves over the years.

If you were sent an invite then it was probably because you're either on my friend's list or you've been in another guild we made. So you're good in that department. ^^

And making a Knight would be a good idea. Just do me a favor and follow Johto and ONLY Johto's example. That is really the best Knight that's been made so far. I made an incredibly stupid one as a joke but satire is lost on most people. Just try to be unique with your character if you can. ^^

Oh, I suppose that makes sense. o:

Alright, I'll do some reading up and get a profile in to be evaluated. c:

Edit: Also, as to ranking abilities, is there a scale posted somewhere? I can't seem to find it.

Rankings are based on a person's own judgement usually, but there is a process to it. It's based on the level of mastery of a skill, the power of it, the level of complexity that goes into it (such as how many abilities/actions are required to pull off the ability), the utility of the scale, and a few other smaller factors. ^^

A being highest ranking, and F being the lowest?

Also, I got my profile up, lacking in rankings, but otherwise done. I hope it's alright. >_>;

Ok, I am building my knight... I like the style this guild has thus gar. I am just confused on nationalities and the such... Ethnicity is one I guess. I seenjoy white and then ithe skips to nationalities. So is it the color of my characters skin, or is it a European Asian region, or is it an area for the land in the guild rp...

It's basically whatever the player finds appropriate. That part isn't 100% important, just for the sake of knowing. It doesn't take place on actual earth, but it simply helps for purposes of RPing. Car million and Eldrin are the current known kingdoms, but we'll have others with different cultural themes at a later point. We'be left the Guild room to grow.

 

[Corvus Serpens]

Ok, thanks, I didn't mean to sound skeptical, merely curious. I am hoping I make a good enough character. Do I need my knight to have an affinity?

I should quote. My bad.

Quotes aren't entirely necessary. The Crew is watching the forums, no big deal.^w^ Sorry about the late reply, however.
Yes, every character needs an Elemental Affinity, and for more information on those, you can check out The Lore and World Book; however, it doesn't have to be super-relevant to your character, either, but it'll help later for abilities when you get a mage.

Actually, SSS is the highest, but no one right now should probably go above A unless they're trying to be ridiculous and show how much of a MANLY MAN they are. Like I said, I made my character stupid as satire, which some people don't get. But yeah, the higher the letter the weaker the skill is, though I doubt anyone will go lower than E cause, why would we even bother counting a spell as being known if it was lower than E? XD

Okay. I'll assign some letters to my spells, and see if they work. Shot in the dark. :B

Is there a popular place to start or does it not matter...?
