The time has come. Soon, the bell shall ring. A new world will come. Rise, my servants. Rise and serve me. I am death and life. Darkness and light.
I'm looking forward to this a whole lot, and I'm sure you'll make it as wonderful as your last thread. The best of luck to you.

Well, if you insist...

Name: Bryce
Class: Dragoon
Portrait: 3A
Skin Color: Row 2, 3rd from left
Hair Color: preset row 1, 2nd from left
Eye Color: preset row 1, 5th from left.
Voice: Apathetic, 19

Aloof, easily distracted, and almost slothlike, Bryce is a Dragoon who would vastly prefer to spend 22 hours out of his day sleeping. Since that doesn't pay the bills, he has to work instead and has made his way to the town of Aeolis by working as a bodyguard. Being out of money and only having enough willpower to go without food for about a week or so, he's currently been spurred into action to find something to help him pay the bills. Prefers to work by expending exactly enough effort to finish a job, and not an iota more.

Name: Lioth
Class: Necromancer
Portrait: 4D
Skin Color: 2nd row, far right
Hair Color: Preset, 2nd row, 5th from left.
Eye Color: Preset, 2nd row, far left
Voice: Hag, 32

'There's no problem that can't be solved by reanimating it and making it your slave' is Lioth's favorite philosophy. She's proud of her necromatic techniques and is happy to use them first and often, whenever the opportunity arises. She's haughty, brash, and a bit of a flirt--though it often comes off badly when she tells someone that their eyes would look great preserved in formaldehyde. She likes to lord her intelligence over others and always tries to feel superior. It's not hard to take her down a peg since she frequently doesn't know as much as she pretends to about anything other than cadavers or spirits, but doing this makes her sulk.

Name: Bow
Class: Masurao
Portrait: Generic Therian F
Skin Color: 1st row, 4th from left
Hair Color: preset 1st row, 5th from left
Eye Color: preset 2nd row, 5th from left
Voice: 39, Taciturn

Bow is a former student who was banished from her home after an unfortunate training accident in which she accidentally killed her master's son. (In hindsight, they probably shouldn't have used real swords.) While she used to be expressive and energetic, years of wandering and living by herself have made her keep her focus but lose the bounciness that went along with it. Businesslike and to the point, she's honed the skills she learned through her time on the road to become something of a competent swordswoman. She doesn't ever talk about her past, changing the subject anytime someone brings it up. Hearing about the exploration boom in Aeolis, she's here to get in on the ground floor and make a name for herself. By doing that, she hopes that her hometown will hear what's become of her and feel really bad about running her off all those years ago.

If I'm gonna be honest, I'm surprised people haven't been using the DLC portraits. When I first showed them to Clarste, his opinion was basically "everyone's going to use these, they're too good." :v:

Well I'm all about using stuff other people haven't, so...

Name: Clara
Class: Warlock
Portrait: DLC - Protector 2 B
Skin Color: 1st row, 3rd from left
Hair Color: preset, 1st row, 4th from left
Eye Color: preset, 2nd row, 2nd from left
Voice: 25, Lively

A warlock who's found herself on the business end of one too many beatings during her travels. Because of it, she's started dressing and acting a lot like a Dragoon in order to discourage targets from attacking her. The armor is all actually cardboard and is 100% cosmetic. She's got a go-get-'em attitude and is always eager to be the second person through a door--so that the person in front can tank for her if need be. Her sword is a modified version of a warlock's staff, and getting it to work right is her proudest achievement. She hides her Lunarian ears under her hair since everyone knows only Earthrun are Dragoons.

Name: Baryl
Portrait: Warlock 1B
Eye: Preset, bottom left
Hair: Preset, bottom row, 4th from left.
Skin Colour: Bottom row, 5th from the left
Voice: 18, Excitable
Personality: Growing up as a child, Baryl found himself going through the motions of learning the power of the elements as most Lunarians do. However, he never really fit in with other Lunarians and wound up shutting himself off from the world, avoiding everyone and living out of his room. Left largely to his own devices, Baryl found purpose in hoarding the stories and trinkets of the Brownie race. He became obsessed with their culture, learning everything about it he could and finding himself wishing he could live in their homelands in the Great Plains, rather than the boring and backwards land of Sidonia. When he heard about the new exploration opportunity opening up he sold all his possessions and used the money to book a trip so that he could get to the Yggdrasil Labyrinth and finally be closer to his goal of moving to the Great Plains. He's very opinionated about the superiority of being at one with nature and of using its power to help you instead of trying to use magic to force your own will upon it, and if given a chance can talk for hours (and hours, and HOURS) about what he's heard of the Brownies and their culture and how it's so cool and amazing you guys*!! He took advantage of the knowledge exchange program to finally learn how to be a proper Herbalist so he can be just like them, and while he's inexperienced he's sure that he'll quickly learn to unlock the real power of the funny smelling smokes the Brownies specialize in.

*accuracy of his stories may vary.

Do you also get to rename whatever the necromancer summons, or is it just the bird and the dog?

Oh right, Greg and Falz are great names, keep 'em.

Are you familiar with the monsters in the first stratum called Ropers? This request concerns them. You see, every so often people claim to have seen Ropers of unsual size.

Got a typo in the transcription.

Also, I'm calling the Giganto Ropers R.O.U.S.'s from now on.

How do they even hold that many swords at once? Do they like, tape them to their ears and headbang?

If the point of the story at this point is your characters escorting this person across space to another planet, wouldn't the reason for it being a teleporter instead of stairs be because each one is covering a lot more ground than you could walk via stairs in your average lifetime?

Since the purpose of the guild is to dive deep into Yggdrasil's labyrinth, get to its roots, and use the parts they take from it to make themselves stronger...

Thirded. I've been using this thread in lieu of an actual FAQ for almost all of the mechanical questions I've had. It's just about all in here somewhere, and remembering the misadventures of our plucky young guild is a bonus.
