Welcome!
Well hello there! It seem's you've been invited to join this little select club of mines. Oh don't worry, all that talk on the first page was just to filter out those who do not belong. But you, oh yes, you certainly belong.
As you already know, this guild is my baby. My child of electrons and binary code, I treat this guild with the attention it deserves. The guild will be swept at least 5 times a week. This is to keep organization.
In this guild, you can role play as much as you want, in any kind of role play you like. Think of it as a host club, where I am a host, and you are my valued members. My only wish is to give you a place where your imagination can run wild and carefree in an organized environment.
Now of course, there ARE some things we need to go over, so let's get those out of the way so the fun experience can begin!

Who am I?
I am Spaniard The Last Angel, here at your service. I am also the owner and captain of this guild, so you may want to watch your tongue around me. It may be good to know that -with all this power I am flaunting around- I do not ever god-mod. I am more of a Sergeant at arms, here to make sure things are kept in line and running properly. I am a very fair role player, and so I will not tolerate god-modding ANYWHERE in the guild.
What was the inspiration behind the guild?
Well, I'll be honest. I have been in many guilds. A lot of them, one-shots I though I could help start up and get off the ground. Others were crowded with many people I did not know or get a chance to grow accustomed to. I got tired of all the clutter and eventually, I lost a need to role play.
But that just inspired me to make something new.
I wanted to create the perfect role playing guild. A guild free from the clutter and inattentiveness that most other guilds had. A guild that wasn't trying to gain money, popularity, and attention. A guild where attention was paid to its members.
Welcome, to that guild.

What can I do as a member?
Well, anything! As a member, it is your word that makes things happen around here. Think of this guild as a democracy. I am the one who creates the laws, the mods are the ones who enforce the laws, and you -the members- are the ones who agree or disagree with the laws. If there is something going on in the guild you are not happy with, please, just let me know and I'll be glad to accommodate you.
As a member, you have the ability to freely join and create role plays at your leisure.
Also, if you have a great idea for a role play, or you just want to have a place of your own, then you can have your own forum! You can name it and do with it as you wish, as long as you follow the guild rules and Gaia TOS. There is a cost, of course. 3,000g [The normal cost to purchase a forum is 2,500g. The extra 500g will go directly into the guild account to be used for guild events and give-aways. Think of it as a tax. Please see the guild captain for more information] Which is not much considering that you will have your own special forum that I cannot tamper with. That's right, in your own forum [that you paid for], I cannot alter the rules are say what happens. That is all up to you. Think of it as a mini-guild. The only thing I have control over is cleaning up the threads [at your request] and sweeping the posts to make sure no one is causing trouble. Other than that, what you say goes in your own forum!

Can one of my friends join?
Of course! There are two ways someone can enter the guild. Initially, members are chosen for the guild at my will. Meaning, I go around looking for literate role players and offer them a chance to join the guild. But if you know someone who would like to join, all they have to do is send in a join request located on the guild home page. They may use you as a reference.

What if I don't like something?
Don't like something that's going on in the guild? That's good. That means you are actually utilizing the guild and looking for a good experience. Fixing the problem is easy. In fact, there is a thread for it just below this that will explain everything and make the transition process easier.

So, what are the rules?
Of course, you must follow Gaia's TOS, but other than that, have fun and knock yourself out. This guild is intended to give you a place to let loose and role play freely. Normally, I would allow cybering, but seeing as how this is a guild for many members of many ages and tastes, I cannot allow it. Therefore, if I DO find cybering, consequences will occur. Let's keep everything clean please.
Stay active. This is a fairly simple rule to follow. Even if it's just to reply out of character to someone, please, stay active. If you are absent from the guild without any kind of notification after a period of a month, you will be sent a warning. Though not necessarily a warning, but more of a check-up to see if you are doing okay and if you are having issues with the guild or anything that is resulting in you not posting.
After this warning and two more weeks, you will be sent a second warning.
After the second warning, it will be my decision what to do next. If there is no reply after a week, you will be receiving notice that you are no longer admitted into the guild. If there is some issue going on with you at the moment, please, let me know and I will understand completely.
But please, don't make excuses for me to keep you in the guild and you have no intentions of posting. It will not break my heart, nor will it hurt my feelings, if after a while in the guild you say "Oh, well I don't think this is the place for me.". Just let me know you want out. I'll ask if there is anything I can do to keep you here, but if you want out, then you get out. The end. Please don't take up space here in the guild if you are not going to utilize it.
Another thing. One-liners. This will only be tolerated to an extent. You were chosen and accepted into this guild because of your role playing expertise. I do understand writers block, trust me. I also understand that sometimes other role players do not give you much to go on. But say something about it. If you have 'teh block', then just say so somewhere in your posts so that when I sweep the threads, I'll know. I will not kick you out of the guild because of one-liners, but members, do know that you have the right to complain about someone who is using one-liners and getting on your nerves.

Hi peoples! My name is minus infinity as you may know, but please call me Infinity. I've been called 'Minus' too many times for my comfort and its a weird name to be called by anyway.
Real life information :: Real name: Sara
Nicknames, past and present: Duck(ling), Saba, See-a
Age & DOB: 18, 04 / 04 / 1993
Siblings: Two sisters, one older & one younger. Older sister is Environmental Unity, younger sister is not on gaia.
Piercings / tattoos: No tattoos so far, ears pierced once each.
Race: White.
Sexuality: Currently undecided, leaning towards straight.
Likes: Chocolate, sleeping, reading, roleplaying, most fruits, rain, swinging, talking with friends, being outdoors, most animals. (Insects = ick.)
Dislikes: Rude or mean people, homework, being forced to do something, summer school, waking up early, lazy people IRL, some spicy foods, anything with a bad aftertaste, bad hygiene, most insects, the term 'busy' (It makes me really nervous.)
RP preferences ::To be honest, I'm just about obsessed with fantasy. I roleplay a lot of genres, but I will never do a roleplay that is based off of an anime, a game, a book, or anything like that. The idea can be inspired by said things, but I hate seeing things like "Kingdom Hearts" or "Inuyasha" rp crap. Get it out of my sight. It reminds me a little too much of my days on Neopets as a gawky ten-year-old and I don't want to bring the memories back up.
That aside, I also do not tolerate Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. This, for those of you who are unaware, is a nickname for a character with no flaws. I have a dramatized imitation of one below:
Very exaggerated Hi !!!!! my name is Princess Sakura Melody Lotus Angela Kagome, and i am a neko highschooler. i am so beautiful every single boy wants to have me. i have perfect grades in school and all my teachers love me and say i am sooo kawaii. i also have a really pretty voice that is better than anyone else in the world and i got 10 awards for it once. everybody loves me and i am so happy because i just found out i am royalty and i get to sit in a throne and everything.
Anything else :: I am in two other guilds, "Why Not" and "The Swear Jar!", so you may see me there. I'm not one of the most well-known, because I don't like to throw out all of my cards at once, but I'm there.
I may seem mean or harsh here or anywhere else, but its usually because of an exterior that I've built. Don't be afraid to talk to me, I don't bite too hard. [;
heart Edited 11 / 10 / 11

Lol, hayyy everybody! ;D I feel honored to be called literate.. I personally think I still suck, but I'm WAY better than I was a few months ago... -cough cough- let's see here.. Well, I'm normally active almost 24/7, and I love to RP pretty much anything, as long as I know what it is. xD The only guild I'm really known to post in is 'Why Not', made by zphal_girl something or other, forgot what it was. xD I'm still somewhat new.. I started rping.. I think two years ago..? Yeah, but I've improved QUITE a lot. Lets just say that I started out using chatspeak.. -shudder- ANYWAY. I love RPing anime, as well as I know almost everything about the character, but I love RPing OC's too. C: I was in a huge RPing prime a year ago.. Lets just say I was in about 50+ RPs at once. Dayum, that was a lot of work to keep up. My favorites on IE were crammed with the names of RPs. I got lazy and didn't feel like scrolling through the pages of the RPC in Why Not to find my RPs. Sadly, all those RPs died while I was on a long haitus, and now I'm only in about 5. The thing I need to work on most is widdening my vocabulary a bit. Sometimes I tend to steal words from others, but only if I know the meaning of the word. I have a very creative mind, and I think it runs faster than everybody else that I know.. besides the people on the internet. I cant tell how fast you guys think~ ;D I type very fast, so please excuse spelling errors. xD; I try my best to skim through my posts to find any before I send it.
Alright, now normally I would be sort of a liar at this point about my age, but it can't be helped anymore. I shouldn't lie about it anymore. People always think I'm older than I am.. Maybe its from the long posts I make, but.. I'm actually 13.. Fourteen on the eighteenth of August. C: YAY I BE YOUNG. 8D Please dont judge me for my age, and DONT talk with simple words just because I'm younger. I wanna learn new words so I can improve and become a better writter. In IRL, I'm way ahead of everrybody else in my age in writting experience, and I get away with things with my language arts teachers because of it~ ;3 I'm always they're favorite.
Anyway~ Nice to meet yew all. And don't worry Infinity (I wouldn't think of calling you Minus.. That sounds kinda negitave. D: ), Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus are hated by I think everybody. Everybody has problems. Like me, with my lack of vocabulary. xD And I'll think of a posting style for myself some day. Gotta think of something that'll go with my username. xD And, for a nickname for me.. Some people call me Nine Tails. I actually like the name Sammich, since its a name that my close friend gave me, and actually matches my real name, Samantha. >w< I dont mind what you call me, really, as long as it's not rude or innapropriate. I hope I get to RP with you guys! :3

Hey, everyone!
I am seriously flattered to have been invited here, particularly since my opinion of my writing and by extension, roleplay skills recently took a rather severe hit. Yes, my self-esteem is very fragile. razz Not the point, however.
The point of this is Hi! My name, as you can clearly see if you look to the side of this post, is SilentShadowDreamer. I prefer Silent or SSD, but will also respond to Shadow, Dreamer, Hey You, or anything else you would like to call me as long as I know it's me. I don't have an OOC posting style, much as I love looking at other people's, because - le gasp - Silent is lazy. Seriously lazy.
In real life, I'm Canadian, seventeen, about to earn my bilingual certificate, going into my senior year, and I have no concept of time management. razz Over the course of said senior year, I will have - well, Grade 12 amounts of homework, of course. I will also be working two jobs - one full- and one part-time, to make money for university. I'm in a few extracurriculars (that I am informed I am not allowed to drop out of), I'm fundraising for and putting together our yearbook, and I have fifteen or so RPs in three or four guilds that of course will require my attention. I also have about nine or ten other guilds that I need to post in now and again. This is my long and roundabout way of saying that sometimes I will be slow to respond, but don't worry, I have not forgotten you, and if I have not responded in about a week, feel free to PM me. Most likely I've just been busy, but I'll still be thankful for the reminder.
I'm very picky about spelling and grammar in my own posts, and have been known to edit posts almost a month later because I noticed that I'd spelled something wrong - and I will love you forever if you point out typos so that I don't have to wait a month and be rereading the thread to notice them. However, when it comes to other people's posts, I don't point out spelling and grammar errors unless someone specifically puts [sp?] beside it, because that just feels rude. It goes back to the fragile-self-esteem thing. I type very quickly, and very well most of the time, thanks to typing classes I was forced to take in elementary school.
I use British spellings. In nearly all cases. I use them because to my eye, they have more aesthetic appeal. You may think this is pretentious or stupid. That's not my problem.
...What? I sound bitter? That is crazy talk.
I love to roleplay fantasy, especially world-building fantasy, but I will accept other kinds of RPs. I like horror, war, real-life...pretty well anything, although sometimes I have a hard time wrapping my mind around sci-fi, and I dislike RPing 'next generation of *insert movie/anime/book here*'. Not only does it prevent my freedom to help build a world if it's already built, but with the copyright issues and all, things can get dicey.
Occasionally, if I have a brilliant idea that must involve someone else's character in order to work, I will PM the RPer of said other character, detail my idea, and ask if they think it would work. My feelings will not be hurt if you say no! I may pout a little, but I'll find another way to make the brilliant idea work. whee However, I do ask that once I have detailed an idea to you, even if you say no, you keep it to yourself; it ruins all the fun if everyone knows beforehand! I adore throwing in plot twists, so if you are an RP master who likes to know what's going on in their RPs before it happens, please warn me so I know to tell you.
Okay. I have been running on much, much too long. If you're still reading this, you are a wonderful person and I salute you. PM me if you want more details, although considering how much I already talked about, I can't imagine what else you would want to know. xd

Wow, after Infinity's spectacular post I feel lame. D:
But that's fine. I'll decorate my posts in Role Plays, but for now I'll keep it simple.
HELLO PEOPLE!! Yes that was a bit enthusiastic, but I love people on the internet so .. Whatever.
I'm very happy to be in this guild, and proud to be literate. I am very disgusted whenever I RP and have people post replies that .. Well suck. Horribly.
It ruins the RP, and I am in love with this guild for saving me from it!
Back to the point: Please, call me Grey. A lot of people have called me awkward things like 'Color Me' and .. That's just weird.
Grey works awesome guys.
Or if you want you can refer to me as my real name, which is Steph. Make up a cute nickname if you want, I don't really care.
I'm 15, turning sixteen in a few months, but just because of that do not think of me as young. I definitely am not young. I have been in many RP's, some of the erotic ones, do not look at my age and think you have to censor yourself. Do not. I will be very upset if you do. I can handle big words.
I am starting 10th grade this Monday *Le gasp* yes that's right, this Monday. It sucks.
Anyway, I might not be as active as I wish I could be during the weeks and weekends. But I will try my best to get online and reply.
I love pretty much any Role Play. Seriously. Not just saying that.
Although there are some I just don't like, so if you offer me one don't be offended if I say no, I just either don't like that RP or I don't have the time to do it. Sorry.
This is something I've never done before, so if I've left something out you wish to know, go ahead and PM me. Can't wait to Rp. Whoo!
