Crimson Marinka
Hello there. Welcome to the Trinity Blade Charity.
(The gigantic welcome sign at the beginning of this thread kinda says it all.)
I'm Kusari Mitsukai, the founder of the charity, and I'd first like to say thanks for taking the time to read this message.
Not many people are probably as diligent as you.
I kid, of course. In any case, the charity welcomes you with open arms.
Now, I'd like to inform you a bit about how this little business all started off.
Crimson Marinka
So many years back, when I had first indulged into Gaia in 2004, I was pretty...erm...lacking in the gold department, let's say. I would always get excited when I reached 1k, because it seemed like the largest amount I could ever achieve at one time. I spent it right after I got it, though, which wasn't very smart in the long run. As most of you already know, I could've saved that for better things.
I didn't learn until about six months into Gaia about questing. For those who don't know, questing is the saving of gold for an item that's very expensive. So, as the naive newbie that I was, I sought after my most treasured item on Gaia: the Angelbow. Of course, I was completely inexperienced, and could only earn about 2k every month or so. And I realized the dedication it would take to earn my item had to be solid. Someone then told me about charities and how they help out so many people.
Long story short, I got the Angelbow within just one month. I suddenly became very grateful for charities and what they do for other people.
About two or three years later, I once again was reminded of how much a charity can help others. I had sent in an application for a certain charity to help me with my quest for a Chain Of Command. In one week, I wasn't just helped; I was given the item with no charge.
After that, I knew I had to do something in return, even if it wasn't needed. And so, less than a half a year later, I created the Trinity Blade Charity. Pretty sappy, huh?
Well, now that you know how the charity was essentially founded, it's time to establish some groundwork.
Lawl and order time! *bangs gavel*

1. Absolutely no flaming by anyone. Everyone who posts within the boundaries of the thread must be considerate or you will be ignored.
2. Don't PM applications to charity leaders (listed next). Send them to the charity mule or post them on the thread. We have lives, too.
3. No emoticon rape. It's an eyesore. >.<
4. Please be as literate as possible. (i.e.: No 1337 or chatroom speak.)
5. Please fill out an application. Posting anything along the lines of "I want help" only lowers your chances for getting a donation.
6. Have fun, of course! Stay and chat here a while, and you'll be recognized.
*Note: Continuous failure to follow these rules will result in post-deletion and neglection.
Crimson Marinka
Alright.
Now that we've got some rules and regulations down, it's time to meet the makers.
Each one of these people is an essential part of the company, so I trust that you'll respect them with the same respect you give me.
Or else. *unholsters frying pan*
Yes. This be meh.
Kusari Mitsukai
Just in case you forgot it/can't see it/can't read in general.
(How could you read this then!?)
In any case, I'm Trinity Blade's founder. You'll see me around once in a while in the Chatterbox.
PM me at anytime if you have any advice on how to improve the charity or just to be friends.
I'll answer anything except for applications. Neither will anyone else. *points to rules section*
Surrender to love (left)
Sekhmet_The_Goddess (right)
These little ladies are the lead thread regulators of the charity, and watch everything being posted.
Surrender is also Trinity Blade's trade archivist, and does avi art on the side.
Sekhmet has hosted a few explosive contests in her time, so be prepared for one sooner or later.
Don't let their cute appearances fool you; Cross them and you'll get scorched like a bad marshmallow.
Be nice or begone. >.<
Neglected Life
The charity's most trustworthy member, given the honorable occupation of Trinity Blade Treasurer.
She monitors the funds for the charity itself, which is safely padlocked in the charity mule.
Do not, in any circumstances, beg her for a donation. She will not respond.
B A N N 3 D
No, one of my co-workers did not get banned from Gaia by an admin named #3.
This is Klown, and he's been one of the ones here from the very beginning.
He's Trinity Blade's leading avi artist and fellow advisor, giving me some hints and ideas to make the thread more active.
Klown is also the first co-worker I employed.
AngelSunami
My sweet Angel has been the most contributing to the charity's very identity.
She's regulated other charities across Gaia, her own being the Doll Ear Charity (Not Just For Doll Ears),
which has been extremely successful. (Hint: Go look it up.)
The experience she's had couldn't be matched by anyone else, I'm sure.
Because of this, Angel is my chief advisor and bannermaker for the thread, giving some colorful ads and a ton of advisory for Trinity Blade to set sail.
Crimson Marinka
I bet this was what you were waiting for all this time, ja?
Well, Trinity Blade requires a certain process that must be followed to the letter in order to be considered as a donatee.
First and foremost, in order to have your application glanced over at all, you must be questing an item.
It may be small or big, but you must be questing an item, and you must have a quest thread made that's at least three pages long.
We'll be checking your thread to make sure you're dedicated to your quest.
I know it seems like a lot, but we'd like to know that our donatees are motivated enough to really want their item.
Even if you're horrible at cultivating these types of threads, you don't have to be flashy.
You can even bump out the three pages if you like, as long as it says "My Quest Thread" as a title.
And who knows? Someone might be generous enough to donate a little more to your cause.
Second, you must fill out an application thoroughly and correctly. Here it is:
~Composed By AngelSunami~
Gaia Username:
Questing For:
Amount Of Gold Needed:
Link To Quest Thread:
Tell Us Something About Yourself:
Third, you must PM it to the charity mule.
(Username: Trinity Blade Charity)
In the past, we gave you the option to post it on the thread.
Unfortunately, posting in the thread means we have to scan the pages up and down.
I believe that this will make the archiving much easier to maintain.
Do not PM it to one of the charity leaders. It will be disregarded.
Fourth, be active on the thread. Don't post up just your application and leave.
Tell us something more about yourself: hobbies, music, favorite cartoons, etc.
I don't even mind if you have a little debate here and there.
If you keep posting, you'll be bumped up in priority and gold amount. I guarantee it.
Fifth, be a good Gaian. Be caring. Be considerate. Be all that you can be.
(...Sorry. I got a little too army-ish there, but you know what I mean.)
*Note: We currently give a maximum of 5,000 gold per quest at this time.
Please do not complain about the donation max.
Crimson Marinka
B A N N 3 D is the official avi artist for Trinity Blade.
For the time being, this area is still under construction.
As soon as it's ready for business, we'll notify you
*points down to Notifications And Updates*
Crimson Marinka
If you've already sent in an application, you'll find your name somewhere here.
We know that we might seem neglectful to some of you, but we're trying our best to get to you all.
So please don't PM one of us asking about why we're taking so long or you will be dropped to the bottom of the priority list.
You may PM the charity mule if you have any questions.
+Reminder+
Please fill out the applications as they are written.
If they aren't completed in the proper manner, there's a good chance they'll be discarded.

Either way, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I see one of our painstakingly-created ads in a random thread.
*coughs up hairball*
