The Unholy Guardians[promtional thread]

[Duraza]

[modified again...]

Former History
Long ago there was a city called Ragon hidden in the mountains.  It was the home of 8 guardians known as the Unholy Guardians.  Each one a master of the Unholy Light.  They protected the city till they became engaged in a war agaisnt "shadows."  During this war the city was destroyed and all but 3 guardians perished.  Now these guardians will attempt to rise again to recreate what has been lost for so long.

What is Unholy Light?
Unholy Light is an extreme form of mental energy.  Its name comes from its history of usage within the city of Ragon and while it is thought of as magic in its previous history more relates to other mental energies like ESP, mind control, and telekinesis. 

What are the Styles?
Through the most stern of disciplines, the members of the Unholy Guardians learn how to focus their power for their life's sake. And with this concentrated power, and through special rites teached onto them, they are able to unleash an energy, a power to form the work we call 'Unholy Arts.  The mage, blacksmith, and swordsman styles are the 3 main styles of the Unholy arts from which all of the moves[taught and sacred] are founded.  The mage stlye focuses on long rage attacks, the blacksmith on making energy weapons that disappear after a short amount of time, and the swordsman which focues on empowering the sword or prefered weapon. 

Purposes

Revival of Ragon- To rebuild the city lost in war long ago

Preservation of the Unholy Arts- To make sure that the arts and their secrets survive. [has to do with the fact they were almost lost during the war]

Teaching of the Arts- To teach possible future masters and make sure they are all united under one rule. This is also our main purpose.  Whether or not you join the guild does not exclude you from learning the Unholy Arts.

Protection- To protect those under the Unholy Guardians or allied with us.  It is on a personal bases whether one wants to protect the people of Hydlaa, Oja, etc.  However unless your job is otherwise protecting your fellow guild members is a must.

Sacred/Forbidden Arts- To make sure the sacred arts stay hidden even if one has to kill their own guild member to do so.  Also to keep the forbidden arts from falling into the wrong hands

Join Us!
We are currently looking for students who would be intrested in learning the style and maybe master it. We have no problem teaching people outside the guild but what you can learn is limited. Anyone can be accepted at the student level it is just progressing to the next that is a challenge.[for more information on any of the guild concepts feel free to contact me in the threads or ingame as Xeonart or contact the Guildmaster Hasseo.]

Just a little criticizm on the rankings...

If you're named "The Unholy Guardians" then why do you have the rank "Unholy Guard?"

What's that make everyone else in the guild who isn't that rank? They're in the Unholy Guardians, but they're not an Unholy Guard?

[Duraza]

we are all unholy guardians yes.  But there is a certain part of it known as the "guard".  The reason for this is that its their specific job to guard.  However they "guard" the intrest of the guild.  Others who guard would be guarding people in general.  The Unholy Guard is more like the protectors of the guild.  Almost like the "guardians" for the guardians.  However if you have a suggestion for a better name it would be welcome

Adept Guard

[Duraza]

yeah that might sound better

Goal:

The main goal and the reason they were recreated [in the rp] is to destroy an evil entity that was released. Each of the guardians feel partly at fault for the release of the entity and for that reason they have once again formed the guard.

Developing Goals: These are the goals that will develop as the guild starts to progress.  Because the Guardians were truely only revived for one reason these goals will not be immediately put into effect until they [rp] decide to continue on and truely recreate their group. Other goals will develop besides these but these are the main ones.

Revival of Ragon- One of these goals will be to rebuild the city of Ragon.  Before this can ever happen though they will have to become a powerful enough guild to defend it.

Protection of the people- In the words of the man who taught the original guardians, "A guardian is someone who lives only to protect.  By becoming a guardian your life is lived to your city and to your people.  If you decide to follow me you will represent the roof and walls of this city protecting it with your lives." To this the guardians [except rogues] will hold true.  They will live to protect.

Secrets of the Unholy Light- To make sure that the unholy light is never lost but its secrets are never found.  They want to make sure the powers of the unholy light are reserved and that its teqniques will pass from guardian to guardian.  However they do not want these secrets to be known throughout the world.  While they protect the people they will kill those who threaten the secrets of the Unholy Light to protect it as well.

Now, the person named Hasseo, really needs to get their name changed. I know where they got it from.

Anyway, after reading your history, how can a peaceful, bright place, be called unholy?

But this one have only one "S", so I guess it's probably okay.

Yeah I know. I told him the same thing but he didnt listen to me

Thats a question asked alot actually.  The reason for the "unholy" is because of the history of the city.  See the man that discovered the Unholy Light tried to teach it to many people after the city was built.  Before it was not called unholy light.  However the power did not "mix" well with many of the people.  The original master found soon that this energy could twist those that were weak-minded.  Because this energy is mental [full properties will be explained later] those who can not control it usually go crazy[I will also get deeper into that when Im explaining the properties].  For this the "magic" was called Unholy Light.  It was good and evil in the eyes of the people.  Because of it their city was created but many also went mad, lost their lives, etc trying to control it.  Also the color of this energy is gray which lead the people to believe that it was a combination of light and darkness [refering to "shades of gray" if you get what I mean].  It isnt but thats what they 1st thought.  

[Suno_Regin]

Alright, just wondering. The name seemed contradictory to your purpose. =P

[Duraza]

I get what your saying.  Makes more sense if you understand Unholy light as a whole.  But its tricky writting about it because some parts of its history and potential are some of the secrets that the guild protects.

[more guild specifics] As i mentioned before there are a lot of different things that the guild will do with students and such of the guild. 

One of the main things is holding in guild tournaments to test the skill of its members [rp].  The members will be put agaisnt each other and fight showing the skills they developed while being watched by other members of the guild.  This will also help decide whether one should become apart of certain levels of the guild [like the guard]. These tournaments will only be for students and members at the mage/blacksmith/swordsman levels.  Students will participate in tournaments seperate from those of those 3 levels. 

Also each level has significance in the guild.  I did not want the guild to be the tradtional "move up levels to gain more guild power."  Instead each level has specific powers.  For example those 3 levels are special because those are where a lot of hands on teaching is done between guild members.  Mentors only watch and evalutate tournaments for things like skill and such[as well as god rp] but do not teach those in the mage, blacksmith, and swordsman levels.  Instead they focus on teaching students [as mentioned before] while those in those 3 levels teach each other.  You can switch between the levels to learn all 3 styles and only those who know all 3 styles can become a mentor or part of the Guard.  Or you can stay in those 3 levels and continue to learn and train and participate in tournaments.  By doing so you can even "master" one of those styles of combats.  By doing so you can become elligble to learn on the the "secret techniques" of Unholy light.

Secret Techniques are one of the various types of secrets hidden by the guild.  These techniques are more powerful and dangerous moves that display the true force of the Unholy Light.  These techniques are the main reason for rogue guardians.  Rogue guardians wish only to take steal these techniques then escape the guild using the moves for their own gain or "selling" the information and secrets to enemies or any other who might pay.  Being a rogue guardian is one of the most complex roles of the guild and where there is the most improvisation but strictest ooc rules.  An example of a rogue guardian even though he leads the guild atm is Duraza.  He uses the Unholy Light for his own purposes and cares not of the guild.  In truth the Rogue Guardian's existence in the guild is ooc.  Once you become a rogue you can never return to the guard.  However the reason for still being in the guild is for the purpose that you are being "tracked." It is not easy to escape the guard and those under the position of Rogue Guardian are being hunted down and tracked by the Unholy Guard of the guild.  However it is possible to escape this "tracking."  If you are undetected for a long enough time then you can leave the guild but it still doesnt mean you are free of its wrath.  [also it doesnt mean you can just stop logging in for a month then leave or log in for a minute a day.  You have to give us a chance to detect you. Not saying you have to make it easy though.]

You can make weapons just... appear? That's a little bit weird. A bunch of charlatans, I say!

[neko kyouran]

that missing steel when someone crafts a dagger has to go somewhere.......

but yeah, a little  reaction going on here

[Duraza]

no sorry just a misunderstanding.  I think your refering to the "blacksmith" level right?

Well they dont make actual weapons of steel and such.  When I was thinking of it I was thinking of more of a modification of the swordsman level.  In the swordsman level you empower your blade with energy. So I thought why not be able to hold the energy in the shape of a weapon.  It would almost be the same as being  mage shooting out energy only the blacksmith's are more "creative" and shape the energy to take the looks of a weapon.  Is it an actual weapon? No just energy that looks like a weapon. 

[Nikodemus]

So I thought why not be able to hold the energy in the shape of a weapon.

If we had these thing, we wouldn't need them.
More simlpy:
You are  flying in the world of fantasy without thinking about the consequences.
