    Merrik's Thoughts on the Army:
    I first and foremost aim to fill the following ranks:
    1st Captain: my right hand tamer whom I will trust with all leadership in my stead should the times call for it.
    2nd Captain: one who will be a support to myself and my 1st captain.
    Scouts: those whose primary duty is to be our first line of offense and defense: observance
    Defenders: these tamers must be powerful protective mana users. A strong defensive wall against our enemies will be infinitely useful.
    Warriors: as with any army, all soldiers are to fight, but I will need a team with a powerful offense specifically to be send out to deal damage. These will have to be skilled in mana, but also very well trained with a weapon and as a team with their dragons.

    ASSIGNED RANKS: (Not to be confused with combat roles, as listed below)
    1st Captain: Goliath Atreus
    2nd Captain: Terria Tetra
    Scouts: Saira Rinien, Avren Libram, Aris Vaughn
    Defenders: Goliath Atreus, Narien Ki'ila, Dalaith Malai, Illyria Renthir,
    Warriors: Terria Tetra, Kalona Fischer, Requiem Mortalis, Reverie Gray, Aiko Vadarys, Aislin Whitely

    I've set out the following fighter classes to establish a means of arranging the army, each tamer must fall into one category of combat roles as a primary and one as a secondary:
    Offensive Mage
    Defensive Mage
    Offensive Non-mana Fighters
    Dragon-warrior
    Healers
    Ambush Warriors


    So far, my thoughts are as such:
    +Goliath has proven himiself a valuable warrior and earned both my respect and confidence. He will be my 1st Captain without question. I trust him to keep the others safe in battle with or without me. He will double as a defensive mage, as his bonded ability has grown much stronger since his time in Kona Petl.
    +Avren has grown as a healer and has put effort into developing himself as a warrior. While I will continue to encourage him to grow as a warrior, his role will be that of a healer. He will work as an archer as well, should the need arise.
    +Saira has gained my confidence as she has shown her capability as a survivor, a soldier, and a friend to many in the order. She will serve as an archer, as this has been her strength, but I would double her as an offensive mage, given she continues to develop her elemental mana.
    +Kalona concerns me as she grows more and more ill. She holds a vast amount of potential as a mage but if this mark brings the end of her mana use, which I sometimes fear it will, she will need to serve as a spear-woman, for she works well with her weapon and is quick on her feet. I hope to maintain her in her role as an offensive mage and a defensive mage, but time will tell if such hopes will be for naught.
    + Dalaith continues to grow and develop her capability in fields of both mana and combat. Now that she has established a level of self-sufficiency with a weapon after her time spent at the Stallion tribe, I am more confident putting her in the front line as a mage. She must be able to defend herself if her mana fails and now, I feel she can do at least this. She will now serve as a defensive mage primarily, and an offensive mage secondarily.
    +Terria will serve as an offensive mage, as I originally planned. But we may need to pull her back at some point and use her to heal the wounded with Avren, for there are no others with any level of skill in the healing magicks.
    +Requiem has begun to show potential. His bonded ability has become well established after his time at Kona Petl and after some displays of aptitude in combat, I'm confident in placing him onto the battle field. I am most inclined to position him as an offensive mage and an offensive non-mana fighter.
    +Reverie has finally dealt with the disturbing issues she had previously displayed and grown to be a stronger mage because of it. I feel she can now work to gain aptitude with a blade, but I still am not confident in her combat abilities. She will play the role of a dragon warrior and fight from atop her dragoness, keeping herself out of harm by remaining in the skies. She will lead the three newcomers.
    +Narien has displayed a level of courage (or craziness) that leaves me oddly comfortable about his place on the battle field. The man is adept with a blade and has incredible perception. A bit unorthodox, but capable. I fear his elemental mana is not yet stable enough to be a strong weapon, but his bonded ability has grown since his time at Kona Petl, as was hoped. I will aim to utilize him primarily as a defensive mage, but also as an offensive non-mana fighter.
    +Aislin TBA
    +Aiko, Aris, and Illyria have not yet gained my confidence that they should be in the midst of the battle. They will serve as dragon warriors and remain airborn, dousing the foes with fires and transporting the injured back to the healers with Reverie as their lead.
    (Note to crimson: I'll edit this once Xylia is in)


  • +Posting/Activity Rules and Regulatory Fun
    +1+
    +Lengthy Unexplained Absences+
    Any unexplained absence proceeding the span of one week will result in a warning. If said absence continues for two weeks, you will be considered MIA and you will lose your slot in this roleplay, but are welcome to apply again in the second chapter.
    +2+

    +Multiple Unexplained Absences+
    If you regularly go missing for several days without a word and are constantly responsible for holding up the progress of this roleplay, you will receive a warning. While real life isn't always predictable and you may have other roleplays, I expect you to have a level of dedication and respect for this roleplay just like everyone else. Should your behaviour continue and I or Erranruin feel that you have are severely dragging the roleplay down, your slot in this roleplay will be removed.
    Again, you're more than welcome to apply in the second chapter.
    +3+

    +Locking up Another Player's Character+
    In the case of a collaboration or interaction between characters, you will be expected to post in a punctual manner. If you do not have the time to do so at that moment in time, please refrain from entering into collabs or arranging character interactions.
    In a personally arranged collab you will be expected to post every 5 or 6 days. Failure to do so will be considered "locking up" another player's character and that player gains the right to end that interaction either by voiding the collab or by closing the interaction with a generic, non-altering post for your character. If you don't want to have your character spoken for, don't lock other player's character up.
    In a GM initiated collab you will be expected to post once a week, with a grace period of 2 days for explained tardiness. If you do not post within the week, you will be contacted and asked to post. If you do not post within the two days, your character will be moved along by either myself or by Erranruin to prevent the other players from being held up.
    +4+

    +Low Quality Posts+
    While I generally don't believe I hold the right to harshly criticize other player's posts, I expect a level of writing from this roleplay. If you are continually posting posts with less than 2 paragraphs, improper grammar, violations to the lore, or character altering of other player's characters, you will receive a warning which may lead to the loss of your slot in this roleplay. If you aren't willing to put effort into this roleplay like everyone else, you don't need to be in this roleplay.
    +5+

    +Time Limits+
    Unexplained Hiatus: 7 days warrants a warning. 14 days warrants your removal from this RP. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    Multiple Unexplained Hiatuses: 4+ days of unexplained absence warrants a warning. 3 warnings in one month warrants your removal from this RP. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    Multiple Excused Hiatuses: 5 or more absences with excuses, spanning 4+ days in one month will warrant the discussion of your removal from this RP. This means you are absent from this roleplay 20 days out of the month. If this persists into a second month you may be asked to leave this roleplay on the grounds that you do not have the time for it. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    +6+

    +I love you all+
    I don't like having to inflict these kinds of rules but I firmly believe they are for the good of the RP as a whole. I don't WANT to lose any of my players but I'd rather lose one or two instead of having the entire RP fail because it's constantly being held up. If you find these rules to be unfair or unjust, please contact me VIA pm and we can discuss your concerns.
    Thank you,
    ~Soul

That probably depends on where ya put it. If you want it at the top and centered, then I would do no more than 250 H x 500 W...if it's off to the side, do something along the size of Soul...

That be my two cents. It also depends on how much pic you want in your post. If I really wanted to show off my char, then I would use the pic I made and put above their char sheet...but I don't want that much, as it'll overcome the post, itself, so I'm gonna do something around the size of Soul's, putting it off to the side.

Oh, thanks, Soul! Mum got me some new filters, and it was just what I needed for a softer avatar. As for fancy stuff, it just takes practice. I've been doing it for years. XD

@Mowkie If I send you that file without the text can you add merrik's face in the top and then the words at the bottom?
 
Soul said Soul dids it...so I'm guessing Soul did-done-doed it!

*loopy from lack of sleep*

Can't post today...post would be lagging, if I could even read what has already happened, which I can't right now. Sorry. >.<' Soul, if you want me to still makes you one, I'll take a shot at it either later today or tomorrow. I'll even skip everyone but 04LIDOB, who also requested a picture thingie...so I guess I'll be doing both of you guys today. I'll post the pics here so I don't piss off the people waiting in my shop. But, look what I made last night!!!

I was already planning on it, deary. It's all good.

And thank you, though I was more referring to the woman in the image. Li Bingbing is gorgeous! *lurves on Asian*
 
ALMOST DONE WITH MY BANNER!! WHOO!!! *deletes* *computer flip*
 
oh, i am soo sorry about that :(
 
YES!!! FINALLY DONE!!! NOW I CAN LAY IN BED AND BE LAZY!!! wait did I say that out loud....?
Lol
 
If anyone wants to see my banner, here it is
forever.jpg
I wont be doing the final edit till later, because now that I look at it, I want to smack myself for saying it looks bad
 
@Shadicmaster kickass banner^
finished post btw, I think it is quite pathetic and small in comparison to the rest, but that, in retrospect, is the second-longest post I have ever made on this website, i would've added more detail, but I am to tired and lazy right now, Idk
good night!
 
Alright, my post is up, hope you all enjoy reading it, it was a fun one. This, along with watching the first episode of Stargate SG-1 has made my evening rather productive, methinks! Anyways, I'll talk to all you crazy folks tomorrow.

Also, if someone wouldn't mind trying to make a banner for me, I would appreciate it, but certainly don't feel like you have to. I can mess around well enough to make something given enough free time.
 
Just a note: I don't require that you all use banners. lol if you want you can even just write your characters name at the top. If you want banners, by all means use em, but know they're not necessary :)
 
Oh yeah, I know, I just want one, because banners are cool! :D
 
Okay, here's what was requested by the two here. Just lemme know on here whether or not you like it. ^^

For @Soulserenity20 -

For @04LIDOB -

And, if you don't want it that big, I've made a smaller version, too. ^^

Hey, keep in mind that I have Adobe CS5 with a bunch of cool little tools. That tends to help with a lot of the things I do...Gimp doesn't have a whole lot to work with. Feel good about yourself. You worked hard. ^^

Are you good with that, Soul? I forgot to take away the black beneath the pic of the dragon, and then my dummy self forgot to save the PSD, so I couldn't go back and fix it. >.< I was so tired when I made it...ended up passing out after I watched Mum make an av. Still really tired, actually.
 
Why, thank you. XD

Okay, I'm off to watch Harry Potter with Mum. Bye bye, everybody! *poofs*
 
okay, I am absolutely FINISHED with trying to edit this thing.... lol, and all I did was touch up the rock, finish a small cut off bit of the wing, and then edit the seared edges of the picture
