Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alartae:

...*cough* >3>;



Anon:

Nobody knows who it is, what form it takes, from whence it came. Does it even exist? Perhaps it is a karmic entity created only to plague the unwitting...


Anonymous Benefactor:

Not to be confused with the Anon, the Anonymous Benefactor is a generous fairy-like spirit who dwells within the Order and grants gifts to a lucky few upon their birthdays. This sylph is kind and benevolent, whereas Anon is malignant.

Possible identity of the AB: Chuck Norris.



Arctic Tern:

....BACKSTREET BOYS!


Aruniform:

An outfit consisting of Lumierenoire shirt, prep uniform pants or substitute, Verizon glasses, a pink Houndstooth rocker tie, black rosary beads and killer black chunky sneaks.

"At least Jessie is cool:"

Panda is a smelly nerd-hermit. Panda IS uncool. He is the ESSENCE of uncool. He is EAU DE uncool.

But we musn't feel sorry for him, for he is a p***k.




Bathtub:

Standard flying vehicle for all BOOdhists.


The BAT: (thu baht)

Benevolent Art Thread, a source more often of frustration due to guild-wide art quests than anything else. emo

BOOdhist, BOOrethren, BOOgie, BOOdle, etc.

Various terms for a member of the Benevolent Order.


The Box Saga:

It went on forever. The highlight was near the start, where Jessie got bashed on the head by a late arrival. It was all downhill from there.


The Cat: (thu caht)

If only we had a cat!



Cespanar:

Will steal all your shinies, ohyeshewill.



"C'mere, you sexy cyclops!":

This is the pickup line most likely to work on Jessie. I wouldn't reccommend trying it too often, though. He may get bored with it. And then maybe stab you. You never know. Is it worth the risk?




Colessie:

[See Pairings.]




Coline:

One sleepy shipoopi. Her hobbies include sleeping, falling asleep, falling asleep on/storming out on Jessie, flailing around in despair and eating food that tastes like dead skunk.



CRESSAPOCALYPSE:

Quite possibly the eventual means of the end of the world. It would totally be an accident, of course. These things just kind of happen whenever Cressa is around.

Use as a noun: "Burns to the scalp, missing his p***s, found drowned in a vat of sinister-looking green goo in the middle of the desert. Probable cause of death: Cressapocalypse."



Crossdressing:

Something the men of our guild are forced to do in spades. =D


The Demi-Godfather:

A blockbuster that won Best Screenplay at the Clammies for its epic portrayal of the relationship between a man and his best friend. Hawk-eye Blue, once a guard in service of the Order, has now gone on to become one of the most renowned script-writers in all of Gambollywood. His sensitive treatment of the underlying themes is true genius.



The DIT: (thu diht)

Drow Information Thread. DARK ELVES ARE WAR CRIMINALS!

IGS: (Eye-gee-ess)

Idiot Guard Syndrome, a plague that curses anyone who hopes to spend their time standing and watching out for trouble and causes them to behave with unbelievable retardedness, rendering them incapable of doing a good job.

IT'S AN ILLNESS, PEOPLE. Be sympathetic!



The INT: (thu eye-en-tee)

Intelligent Navigation (maps) thread.


IntInf: (intinf)

Intelligent Infiltration thread.

Use as a noun: "Go check the IntInf for this awesome guild I affiliated!"

Use as a verb [present participle]: "I am SO IntInfing that thread!"


"It's always raining in Storm's world"

But that doesn't have to have any correlation to the real world.

Jandika:

ULTIMATE MOD ORGY.

Affectionate name for Storm Dawn. EVERYBODY PET HIM.



System/Sysv1/2:

This is the battle/character advancement system made by Lorika, and later a team of Order developers, which was made to add structure and an element of "play" not present in other roleplays. It was a huge success, and the idea has since been picked up on by other guilds - but we were the first!

Sysv1 was made totally by Lorika over the course of one long, sleepless month, and published in late November 2009 to coincide with the beginning of the roleplay. It featured a "path" system for character advancement.

Sysv2 was developed over several months by Lorika and a team of developers from the guild. It was published to coincide with the beginning of Chapter 2 of the roleplay, and improved on almost every aspect of sysv1. It features a "class" system of advancement, and proves much more character-flexible.

A simplified version of sysv2 is present in the current roleplay.



Technicolor dreamland:

The place your mind goes when you are delusional from an extreme combination of hunger, thirst, and general fatigue. Prolonged exposure will cause insanity. If not helped, it will progress to The Void. Its appearance is a mass of wildly shifting colors that are an unknown distance away in all directions. Xeiashi briefly visited this place shortly after arriving at the Temple.


TTR:

Towards the Reawakening, the official roleplay's third and final chapter, which never came into existence.


Trowie:

The trows are diminutive ancient ancestors of the drow characterised by their immense cuteness and weird, tribalish haircuts. They speak in drowic gibberish, but can understand normal drow and common perfectly and are apparently immensely powerful in both numbers and individual strength. While they may appear sweet, happy and infantile, they are deadly little demons who'll skewer your eyes out while laughing, singing and doing a cute little dance. They apparently despise Cressa, but adore Jessie.


UED - UnExpected Development:

These minions of Satan pick away at the cogs of your carefully laid plans until a roleplay event meant to last two months goes on for eight. WHYYYYYYYYY
