The Official Discussion Topic for Fairy Tail: Origins

Yeah, but I already made the icon and everything for it.

Plus, we only have 4 participants so far, and two of them will be in Silver Chimera, one will be in Khaos, and the other won't be in Sylph Wing. Why would Sylph Wing be the "main" guild if there's no PCs in it?

Alright, then I guess that leaves Silver Chimera as the Fairy Tail Guild.

But my stance on the name still stands, Golurk. Sylph Wing will still play a part in the story, even if all the members are NPCs, and so it takes priority. We can create another small Guild at any time. I like the message of the name, and I want to keep it.

That's fine with me. I'm not the one who said we couldn't have redundancies.

You guys should really thank Digi. A little info he PMed me about FT canon really helped me with the plot, enough that I'm about to boot up the Sign Ups right now.

My orders have also been changed, so I won't be going to old Alabama until next week. I still have drill this weekend, but today, tomorrow and Friday I'm largely free, so I can work on the RP a lot.

Also, thanks Golurk, for coming up with the idea for the characters and creating the Guilds and emblems. I really appreciate it.

Nations

The Empire of Aselia: The dominant nation on the Mainland, and the largest and most powerful country in all of Earthland. It is ruled by the Royal Family, led by Emperor Severen Vigarde, and the Imperial Senate, which is made up of nine Senators elected by the people. The capitol is Victoria, and is called the City of Water. While the High Council operate out of their own HQ, they do have a large office in the Imperial Capitol, and there are a few Magic and Warrior Guilds located in the capitol. The Imperial Army is a different entity than the Empire's special police force, which is an organization known as the Silver Hand, for the emblem on their helmets. The Silver Hand is made up entirely of Mages, and there is a fierce rivalry between them and the Imperial Army.

I'll post more info about Aselia, Pergrande, how S-Class will work and more in a bit, but right now my phone is crapping out.

Since the links were broken, I fixed them. I also added a Fame section.

So, S-Class. The title of S-Class Wizard is a title granted only to the most powerful Mages. Once you're S-Class, you can take S-Class jobs and quests, 10 Year Quests, 50 Year Quests, and 100 Year Quests. You also get special treatment and recognition and become eligible to participate in the S-Class Games, a tournament in Pergrandia that is even larger and more intense than Fiore's Grand Magic Games. Basically, S-Class Wizards are the baddest mothertruckers around.

The process of becoming S-Class varies upon where you live and what Guild you're in. In Pergrandia, Mages have to compete in the annual S-Class exams, where thousands of people enter and only a few emerge victorious. The Exams consist of various tests and trials, but the final trial is always to defeat a S-Class Wizard. The Exams may be undertaken alone or in pairs, and the S-Class Games are always fought in teams of 2. Only the last team standing wins the Games.

In Fiore and Aselia(And everywhere else), the process is much simpler. Each Guild has their own unique test that members must pass before they can be promoted. This test is solely up to the discretion of the Guild Master. Once a member passes, their name is passed up to the Council of their region, and they are officially considered a S-Class Wizard.

For Warrior Guilds, the highest rank is Champion, and becoming a Champion means winning a special tournament. Thief Guilds have their own version of the Grand Magic Games/S-Class Games, but do not have a special 'rank' like S-Class or Champion.

Alright, so now we need to come up with some names for important towns and cities, and some more Guild Masters. We also need to decide who's writing for what Guild Master. Guild Masters are flipping awesome, and I don't want to hog all the fun by writing for them all. Or creating them, for that matter. So if you have any ideas, both for town names and Guild Masters, feel free to share!

The only exceptions are the Guild Masters of the Nebilim Organization, and a certain Dark Guild in the first arc that I haven't revealed yet. I will be writing for them, as well as all the major NPCs. But if someone wants to write for an "evil" character, PM me and we'll talk.

Also, I am so damn hyped for this RP now!!!! I dunno why, but as soon as I listened to FT's first opening theme again, all the memories just came rushing back, and suddenly, I want to create the most memorable RP ever. One that's both fun and exciting, well written and moving, so we can look back at it years from now and say, "That was a blast!"

Who's with me?!

Me. I just hope we have more than 4 members since we have 31 guilds and such a huge world.

Thank you Neo! So much! That intro just feels me with joy . like every time I watch all the openings.
