Dark Guild Suggestion

Hey guys, it's Nessa.

I'm coming forward with a suggestion for a Dark Guild that I feel like might benefit the site and it's character base. Obviously I run my own guild, so I'm not putting this idea up for myself. But for someone else to take it, see if they can run with it and make a good fit for FTRP.

See, the issue is, alot of the guilds on site right now have a SPECIFIC AGENDA, like HB is hide amongst the shadows, Onyx Moon is a trade guild /vigilante guild, Sabertooth are defenders of the realm. I'm also seeing alot of suggestions for guilds that are highly specified and could potentially limit what kind of characters can join them. I'm not saying they're bad ideas, but I feel like this concept I'm putting forward is really what FTRP needs.

What I feel would be good for the site, is if we have a Dark Guild that is simply Dark. No extreme agenda or goals, a place where Dark Mages who aren't afraid to hide their identity and don't want to live by the rules can exist. I'm talking like Grimoire Heart, Raven Tail and Eisenwold from the actual show, Fairy Tail.

Let me know what you guys think and if someone wants to come forward with their suggestions and ideas for the concept. I'd be happy to work with them on it, as I stated above, I am already a GM, so whoever comes forward would need to put in the time and effort required to create the guild, bring it to life and then run it successfully.

Much love,

Nessa.

This is a good idea, I would love to see this be put into action.
It's something that the site really needs in all honesty.
Like Nessa, I'm a gm so can't take on this responsibility but would also be willing to help if needed.

If sara was A rank maaaaaannnnnnnnn godsdamns ;_;

So this is something I have already thought about, and fully agree with. I feel most concepts currently have a home excluding just openly dark mages, wanting to make a name as a Sinner, and do bad stuff. I think a Grimoire Heart or Oración Seis style 'gain power for powers sake' would fit well as one of the open slots.
With my current schedule I could not put my name forward, but I certainly would love to see this idea move forward.

I think this is a good idea, but at the same time, guilds that tend to have more of a vague goal have always seemed to die pretty quickly. Unfortunate, but true. Also, it is a requirement of guilds that they do have goals. It keeps what I said above from occurring in most cases.

With this said, I would still love to give this idea a chance, as long as someone can come forth and bring it to life. If there is a good pitch for a guild of this nature, I would be more than willing to help set it up.

We need more guilds right now, and I think this would be a great addition.

I do think this is a good idea, but really unneeded. Dark guilds in the past and present have catered to all dark mages, usually, because individual character goals (I wanna spill blood, I wanna rob people) is normally a natural byproduct of most dark guilds. A dark mage's individual agenda usually align or is encouraged by one dark guild or another, so many different characters can congregate, work as guildmates and still achieve the guild goal. I feel an end-all-be-all guild that specifically aims to cater to everyone would kill everyone's interest in it more than anything.

Additionally, all guilds have specific agendas. Even the canon guilds you've mentioned had very specific agendas, probably more specific than any dark guild we've ever had. If we compared this guild to Nightmare of Hidden Blades, the only thing remotely unique about it is the fact they lack motive and goals. To me, it's basically paying for a dark mage safe space in which could otherwise be free if dark mages REALLY wanted that. Or, if I dark mages really wanted such a safe space, a guild reflecting this one would've been created a long time ago.

But those are my two cents! Good luck!
