Editing this thread would be the best idea. You don't need to be extensive. If you have somewhere else where we can find better information, just link it in the post.

Unholy means exactly the opposite of holy which means religious.

I just went from a definition I found.  Yeah I know when you think of "unholy" your right it means "not holy." However of the definitions of "holy" you can find things besides "god-fearing" or "religious."  Things like "sinless" and "pure."  Im using a less used definition for unholy from the looks of it.  But what I mean by saying it is to say "sinful."  While "sin" also usually has religious meaning it can also just mean "evil" or "wrong doing." Im not trying to use the religious meanings of the words.

Editing this thread would be the best idea. You don't need to be extensive. If you have somewhere else where we can find better information, just link it in the post.

Ok Ill make sure to edit the 1st post. I dont have another place where the information can be found [no website] but Ill make sure to just give a brief overview of everything.  Gonna be hard for me...I like to explain things  ;D

edit:
Modified the 1st post.  Read and tell me what you think or if its still in need of adjustments.  I also shortened it for easier reading.

I said "Its possible to believe that while of course the city they might not be familuar to all that we are."
I think this sentence is without sense. :-)
yeah for some reason I cant even think of what I was trying to say  :sweatdrop:
XD In such occurance, if i was on your place, i would check if what is quoted is really what i wrote ;P
Basically, you made some text to have red background. Something i don't read because it is unreadable ;) and so the message made no sense. Just keep in mind people don't have to use the same skin as you are.



What you can failure tommorow, failure today.

opps sorry about that.  Thats what the sencence did say.

"Its possible to believe that while of course the city would know of people like Laanx and Talad they might not be familuar to all that we are." I never said in fact that they did not but only mentioned that they did.

Also I modified the first post on the guild.  If you could read it and comment. It really helps to know if there is something there that needs fixing.  Hopefully theres not though  ;D

The Promotional Thread is alot better now!


But now I have opinions for the guild itself:
  • The name "Unholy" doesn't seem to fit;
  • Unholy Arts: I think we need something more here. Something like "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.'" If you had something of this nature you'll add more taste to those "styles" since we'll know there's actually something behind it, not just secretness and magic.
  • "Revival of Ragon" - Can't say that's an original objective: check the Survivors of Vaern and the Community of Vaalnor.
  • I wouldn't use the "shadows" as my enemies. Maybe it would be more interesting if this Ragon was formed within the Labyrinths, as a haven to those who would wander in those places. That way we would understand why it required such guardians, and how it was destryoed by the throngs of monsters there;
  • As far as the promotional thread itself is concerned, I'd distinguish the ranks, and maybe make the most important titles size=3. Just so it looks prettier to the eyes.

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.

How long ago are we talking? Characters have lifespans, they don't live on for ever.

Well at least its better

  • "Revival of Ragon" - Can't say that's an original objective: check the Survivors of Vaern and the Community of Vaalnor.
I know its not necessarily "original" but it is something they would want.  After their city was destroyed because they could not guard it properly its just something that makes sense. There are other ways to look at it but remember this goal would only be put in effect if they ever thought they would have the "strength" to protect the city.  If not the would never rebuild it.

  • I wouldn't use the "shadows" as my enemies. Maybe it would be more interesting if this Ragon was formed within the Labyrinths, as a haven to those who would wander in those places. That way we would understand why it required such guardians, and how it was destryoed by the throngs of monsters there;
The reason why the enemy was called "the shadows" was because it was unclear who attacked.  It was a pitch black and hard to see.  The day the city fell no one could see.  All most of the people saw were creatures attacking them in the darkness and "shadow." Furthermore only 3 survived mainly because they were captured by the leader of the attackers and drugged.  The reason for their capture still remains unclear to them because the leader is long dead and they never saw the force he attacked with. 

  • As far as the promotional thread itself is concerned, I'd distinguish the ranks, and maybe make the most important titles size=3. Just so it looks prettier to the eyes.

Ok Ill make sure to make some things more clear.  Just change font sizes and like underline ranking names or something along those lines right?

Not extremely long ago.  The city was built long before the guardians actually rose to power.  At first the one master of the Unholy Light ruled the city.  He tried to teach the people and 8 of them mastered it before his death.  They were all young (around 17) when they did master it and defended the city for about 8 years (they werent sure and mainly for yearly time relyed on those who passed through the city) before it was destroyed.

  • The name "Unholy" doesn't seem to fit;
One of the main reasons I rather not change the name is because "unholy light" has been rped ingame before.  I know that it wouldnt be hard to just rename it, or even rp a reason, but at the same time I like the fact that it doesnt seem to fit with you. It makes it seem like these people thought their own way. Just my opinion though. 

  • Unholy Arts: I think we need something more here. Something like "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.'"

I must say I do like how you worded that. Ill make sure to edit the guild and add something along those lines(or maybe that with your permission :innocent:)

Good job Duraza, proud of ya.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked my wording there! You're free to use it if you like.

Seems like most things were answered. Be sure to have this useful information explicit somewhere people can access easily. We don't want to tire people with forum scrolling. We must think of the lazy.

1st sorry for the double post.  Was a while since I last posted so I hope it doesn't matter much.  There were some changes made to the guild in terms of structure and purpose.  First the removal of the Student rank to be replaced by the Apprentince rank.  Both are mainly the same the only difference being that Apprentince's join the guild because they want a spefic job.  The second rank change was the Rogue Guardian to Researcher.  The rogue guardian's finnally "escaped" the guild and so have been replaced by a rank of Researchers who look in developing new unholy arts.  As for purpose the main focus of the guild is now towards teaching making it a School.  The school is open to all people whether in the guild or not.  However those who do not work for the school will always be "students."  Those who do work for the school (by joining the guild) can get a specific job like mentor, guard member, etc.  Last I want to say that the offical guild master is Hasseo and the assistant guild master is Xeonart (me).  Currently working on getting a website and fourms as well.
