This guild is based in the same world that the Guild of Mages once was based in, but 100 years later when the world has recovered magical balance from the war.

Welcome to the Guild of the Rose

Over the next few days this post will be edited with rules for the Role Playing and ranks and things like it to make this a good RP.

The story continues from the story of Sepirothalpha, Dante, Aiden and Angel and the rest of the Mages of the Guild of Mages.

For the summary, see the edit which will be posted as a summary of what has happend.

The Story so Far....

100 years ago the world was amist in battle with the elements, There was one lone protection for the world, this was the guild of mages - they were a group of mages who each choose a certain element to master in. Together they were unstoppable. Many things happened but over time... the elemental angels picked up on this salvation for the world. They got involed into the battle, Some of the mages took their angels as their masters but Ultima turned the guild's holy mage against them.. Slowly they fought and killed the mage.

War came to the guild once more as they were going around angel slaying. After many of the angels were killed and the mages thought they were going to be okay... A Large army came though to attack the guild. The sky fortress Bahamut was brought into battle infront of the guild of mages but fell into a crater and exploded.

Over time in the battle the mages slowly fell one by one.

Everyone thought that the mages were all dead...

A few survived and went into hiding.
King Aiden of the East had died on the battlefield and was taken by the evil orcs. His companions who survived broke him free and went into hiding with him.

100 years after the battle of the guild of mages.. Aiden returns to the site of the battle and see's the building which used to be the guild..

Aiden took it on his heart to rebuild the guild as a new order. An order that would study the world, an order which could understand everything.

Walking into the guild courtyard he noticed the 3 roses in a line for his fallen companions. This gave him an idea.

We shall henceforth be called the Order of the Rose.


P.S. Anyone want to join post names and elements below and i will PM you all when the RP is ready to start.

Thank You

A man walking slowly into the courtyard dressed in all black, 2 swords protruding from his sides. His eyes were a bright blue, a tall height (6ft 4), his hair long and dark and warm smile to match.

On his hands were 2 rings. One gleaming silver, one ebony black. Following behind him was a black dragon

He was everything like his father.

He walked over to another mysterious man who was looking down upon 3 solitary roses in the crumbled courtyard.

"I am known as Angelus, who are you"

-------------------------------------------------------

Up for fighting alongside each other again Aiden? :P

Nice to see you again :)

And yes i do want to join the OoTF xD
 
"Welcome Angelus, Please follow me into the Auditorium of the Ruins of the Guild of Mages"

Xavier turned his back and started to walk towards the entrance to the ruins.

"They locked this building with 2 rings on that morning..
I have one of them..... I presume your Father gave you the other.."

Xavier turned around at the top of the stairs..

"I know why you have come here Angelus, and you should know... I know every secret of this place.

So come lets see if you have the same piano style as your father."

Xavier took off his ring and put its signent into the hole provided and waited for Angelus to come.
 
Angelus walked up to the other ring slot and looked at his black ring which glowed white slightly. Admittedly this freaked Angelus out. He his black ring off. On it was a swirling design. His mother had given it to him...it was her dying gift just before he fled the knights...

Angelus ripped his mind from the though and smiled at Aiden as he inserted the ring into the slot and watched as the doorway slide into the ground.

"How did you know i played piano...and how did you know my father"
 
Xavier walked through the door and pressed a few buttons on the control panel..

"damn powers down again"

Xavier turned to Angelus.

"My friend, there is much to talk about - now i must go for a quick walk to turn the power on - but please - follow this corridor to the auditorium and you'll learn yourself why i know your father.. The history is documented well of the mages guild."

"Again my apologies"

Xavier ran down the corridor to the power grid and flicked a switch..

"Power to the guild has been activated. Welcome back Grand Master Xavier"

Xavier hit the telecom

"Yo Kid, if this technology still works take a seat i'll be there in a minute"
 
Angelus walked down the ruined corridor. Scorch and blade marks graffitied the walls. He followed the corridor to a large oak wood door. He went inside and look up at the vast room. to his left was a silver piano. On the sheet holder was a notebook labeled "Angelus' Songs"

Angelus dived toward the piano, eyes wide with shock. He flicked open the first page. The song was called "Guild Theme"

He sat and played the song on the slightly out of tune piano...the song felt familiar to him.

He then walked up to a bookcase and looked at the number of books there, mainly spell books. He wished he could do magic like his father. Apparently his father was amazing with magic, the best one could even say but he was long gone now. He was a lone ranger now he earned money from random odd jobs and hunting.

He sat in a dusted seat and awaited for the Xavier fellow
 
Xavier burst through the door and looked at the sheet music on the piano.

"oh my god... Angelus have you seen this? All of this music was written for you by your farther.. He spent hours sat at this piano in the quiet season's composing and writing music for you."


"its very good"

With this Xavier sat in the tall chair..
"Its amazing this place didn't burn to the ground in the war..."

Aiden099 opened the side of the chair and a secret pocket appeared on the top which allowed him to get into a pocket and pull out a wand..

"It's all about magic Angelus.... " With that Xavier sent out a flash from his wand towards the fire and lit the fire. The room got alot warmer.

"Now sit tight my friend, I made a promise to your father to look after you, now will you join this order of the rose and fight for freedom... I see you have your father's skill in dragon magic :)"

Xavier got up and went to the shelf..

"Here's a map of the guild - go have a look around - i'm retiring to my room for a little while - i have some things to sort out and fix."

AIden099 drew the fire again and plunged the room to electric lighting only, it wasn't the best but it was adequate.

"Give me your answer in the morning my friend. You can have your father's room. come with me - i'll show you to it now."

Aiden099 walked up the marble staircase and unlocked the magical gate.

"Angelus lets go - i'll take your dragon to the dragon den after i show you to your room"
 
Standing up at the guild building, Stephen's eyes watered, a young 18 year old man, a grey robe, his eyes a vibrant silver, Standing at only 6 feet tall, he had an athletic build. he looked down at the three roses on the floor "If only you knew the truth Aiden" he muttered as he looked back at the building.

As a loud crack of thunder struck the floor Stephen looked to the sky, he then felt the surge of rain, a thunderstorm, he was soaked to the skin almost instantly. "I guess it's time" he muttered as he strode through the battle torn Courtyard and then into the Guild. Stephen was home.
 
Xavier had heard the crack of the thunder.

"We must be moving, the power to the guild will fail in the thunder - I must fix this problem later"

Xavier walked the marble stairs and turned on the secruity system at the top of the stairs.

Opened his door and went onto his balcony in the rain..

"Hmm. Long time since i've been here.."


All of a sudden xavier hits the floor as his body relapses over whats happened in the past here.

He is left laid on the balcony... getting rained on.
 
Angelus followed Aiden into his room and listened intently tp his words. He wished to learn the truth of his father's past. From what he's heard, his father who was also called Angelus was one of the most powerful elementalist's who fought alongside his friends- Aiden, Full Metal Alchemist and Solijduss and a few others. He died in the fires of war when death came to reclaim him. He had made a pact with the reaper and now death wanted him back after fighting for peace on his planet for soo long.

Aiden was still alive, he would be able to find out everything from him. How he was still alive- he did not fucking know but oh well. He wasn't listening to Aiden talking due to the fact he was thinking alot...he'd forgive him if he wasn't listening to a word he was saying :P.. However the big *thump* noise probably wasn't in your average conversation so Ang snapped out of his daydream to find Aiden on the floor convulsing...great.

"Oh for fucks sake"

Angelus picked up Aiden and carried him to the room he had showed him which was his fathers and lay him on the bed and watched over him
 
Xavier slowly opened his eyes to find himself in Angelus's room.

"Hey buddy, you should have left me - it's only a thought passage.."

Xavier stood up..

"I guess you want to know everything..."

Xavier stood up and started to tell Angelus everything.

"At the age of 5, I was attached to the detachment of the Eastern Empire of the special detatchment of the childrens warefare battalion.

The commander of the army had said to the king that children could not be hurt and sent us in..

I showed exemplary skills with a sword and was made captain.. We were sent out to the darkness. Everyone was killed.. But when death came for me a pact was made for me to return to earth as death's messenger.. in return for this debt I became immortal..

This is why i survived the war of the mages... I have seen alot in my life... Considor the fact it is now 1239 - and i was in the battle of the darkness - 350 years ago..

It wasn't untill I came here that I met your father.. something was special - He never told me what though... Just gave me this key... Here It's your's!"

Xavier threw the key to Angelus..


"Anyway thats enough for tonight"

"I'm going to sleep mate, i'll talk more in the morning."

Xavier opened the door and walked out of the room towards the canteen
 
Angel stood slightly dazed by the overdose of information. He shut the door and let the relaxation take it toll. He looked around the room and pocketed the black key Xavier.

He looked in the drawers and found a belt studded with gems stones...he knew what this was- it stored magic in it for when a mage most needed it...niiice

He looked in the cupboard and found old garments of his fathers, black long overcoats...they seemed as new as when they were made as if they were untouched...that what happens when your father was a mage..he'd steal them then. He looked in the next cupboard and found something rather nice. It was an armoury and in the middle was 2 black and silver swords gilded in mithril. On the sword was ancient writing which he couldn't understand. It was probably his fathers motto. He'd ask Xavier later what it meant but by God these were fantastic swords. They were his now. He could only imagine the amount of battles his father had used them in...things would be interesting living here now in the guild of the rose
 
Xavier finshed making a drink and started to wander the guilds long corridors... he came across a door he remebered well...

He placed his ring against the door and the door melted away and he walked in..

It was the gallery..
There were portraits of all of guild members stood on the walls..

"My friends...."

Xavier took a big gulp of his drink and took a book of the shelf, sat infront of the fire in a large red chair and delved deep into the pages..The book was entitled...

"The Guild of Mages, High Mage Handbook and Historian notes"
 
Angel continued to scan around the room, it even had it own shower room. Awesome! The whole bathroom was crystal blue. He guessed his father was a master of either water or thunder magic...or both

He was stared at the twin swords that he couldnt believe that was his. they were so elegant, so light, so powerful...and looking fucking cool!
He looked further in the drawers and found 2 rings all silvers and encrusted with various coloured gems. He guessed these were rings that powered up certain elements- water and thunder. His dad must have collected alot of things back when he was alive

Over the bed was an dragon emblem and above it a latin words reading "Sectamini Caritatem". he knew enough latin to know that meant "Follow the truth". His dad was a good person and did great things. He wanted to follow in those footsteps and save more lives than his father.

Angel walked out in his fathers old magic equipment and sat in the piano room playing the songs his father had made. Maybe he should makes songs too ^_^
 
Aiden099 opened a secret door in the gallery to pull out a exit of the guild..

There was a set of stairs to take him to one of the towers..

Xavier walked up the stairs in regret and unlocked the vision gap on the door...

"So you've returned at last..."

Xavier walked through the door without opening it..

"Yeah am back"

"What happens now then my lord?"

"We wait.. Our lord shall contact us again shortly.. then the army of the dead shall rise.."

"What of Angelus's son?"

"He'll ether join us or....well you know.."

"Of course Xavier.."

"Untill next time Alexander - regards to Ultima"

Xavier closed the door and walked down the stairs into the gallery and sealed the exit away from sight.

He went into the auditorium.

"So angel.. how are things going my friend, learnt anything of your father?"
 
"I'v been in his room. So far i've learned tht he was a great fighter and magician and more importantly he fought to bring peace. I also worked out what it says on his swords. it says "Follow the truth". I've also found alot of equipment that he passed down to me including his magic belt which stores magic, his elemental rings of water and thunder, magic cloak and his dual swords. Is there any special ability these swords have that he showed you?"

He paused for a minute

"Oh and Aiden...I want to fight alongside you in my fathers footsteps to help rid this planet of evil"

Angel heard a low rumbling sound. Look like the bloody dragon had found it's den...and fallen asleep, the lazy bastard
 
Xavier looked at the swords... "Hm.. I don't know anything of these swords.. I have never seen them before..."

Xavier sat down in the chair and started looking through his book again
 
OOC: only 3 people? SHAME ON YOU OLD MAGI! guess i'll have to come back, as a specialist in dark magic. (IE: necromancy and status affliction for the most part, although i will have Gravity when the time comes for me to use it) oh yeah, and if my character seems small, that's because he's now a moogle. With a really long scythe.

Don't judge me. And my old dude (the original Shadow who was skilled in basic magic) is now a dead guy, although i can speak with him via necromancy.

IC:Shadow sighed as the old guild building finally came into view. The one whose name this used to belong to had told him of the location, but he was about ten miles off. Shadow was going to yell at him later for that. Either way, though, he had found the place without too much trouble, besides the inaccurate description. He hadn't been attacked on his way over here, so he guessed that good luck was on his side.

He began to walk towards the entrance, calling out "Is anyone still here?" If there was no one, then he would talk to spirits of the long dead for instruction. If there was someone here, maybe he could help clear up Shadow's past, as he had forgotten quite a bit of it after he died.
 
Xavier walked into the command booth - "hmm looks like we have a guest"

Taking the step out of the command booth - Xavier looked over the stairs and said "Hello Young Man. Can I help You?"

He started to walk slowly down the stairs putting his cane one step infront of him as he moved slowly down.

"Welcom to the guild of roses - my name is Xavier, The last knight of the order of the roses.. Can i take your name please and state what business you have with our order?"
 
OOC: DUDE, I'M A MOOGLE, GET THAT STRAIGHT!

IC: Shadow sighed inwardly as he was addressed young man. He was a moogle, not a human. "Yeah, i'm looking for people from the original guild of mages, so i can gain instruction in focusing my magic and so i can learn about the history of this guy" Shadow rummaged around in a pack on his back and took out his hand-drawn (it's well drawn) picture of the original Shadow. "My name's Shadow, and a ghost i have managed to summon told me that he was once a mage in the guild of mages by my name. You mind giving me some details?" As he was asking, Shadow leaned his scythe against the wall and leaned against it.
