Welcome to Gaia! ::

Important Update!

The Training Room has phased out! It no longer exists. Yes, it's literally disappeared. The school's structure will be fine; it's built to stay together no matter what. Still, make no mistake about it: You cannot enter the training room!

We'll try to build a new one as soon as possible. ^_^''

Orb is to be considered MIA. eek If he does not return after a week, we'll start considering candidates for taking over his position.

ATTENTION:

The Ramen Noodle School of Martial Arts is currently in LOCKDOWN

This means no unauthorized person or persons may enter the school grounds. Any entry must be requested from Belbe and will most likely be denied at this current point in time...Please check back tomorrow for any further updates.

That is all.

ATTENTION: The school is now out of lockdown. Enjoy!! whee

With rumors of upcoming war between various guilds, I'm going to address the matters of each of these guilds, one by one. First of all, the guilds in question here are:

The Demon Hunter Masters Guild (Dirk Graves)
The Army of the Damned (Xenos the Hell Demon)
The Empire of the Forsaken (Draximas Alpha)
The Order of the Underworld (Alasdair)
The Black Company (9-Lives)
(and, of course) The Ramen Noodle School of Martial Arts (Orb!)


The Demon Hunter Masters

The DHM has one mission: The complete, unconditional destruction of the demon race. Yes, that means good demons as well. Dirk does not believe there is such a thing as a good demon. Do I agree with the policies of the DHM? No. Frankly, it's a fairly black-and-white-minded concept. Under no conditions are you under permission to go to the DHM to try and convince Dirk that he's wrong. It won't work. Trust me. The DHM wants to destroy the Order of the Underworld, the Army of the Damned, the Black Company, and countless demon guilds off of the GGN. They are allied with the Empire of the Forsaken.


The Army of the Damned

The Army of the Damned is the guild where most of us old roleplayers either started, or once fought in the War of the Hunters. The leader, Xenos, doesn't really seem to have any ambitions other than the destruction of the Demon Hunter Masters Guild. They're currently under review and may become a sub-guild of the Order of the Underworld.


The Empire of the Forsaken

The Empire of the Forsaken is an ally of the Demon Hunter Masters Guild. They're a tad nationalistic. Essentially, they're a group of individuals who have all been abandoned or cast out, and have banded together to form a power bent on changing the world to be more accepting, or whatever. In other words, the perfect allies for a guild bent on nothing short of genocide of an entire race. That's called sarcasm. We are on a decidedly neutral stance with them, and I'm sure you can tell from this thoroughly objective description how fond of them I am. That's more sarcasm.


The Order of the Underworld

They're our allies. They are ruled by Alasdair (or Relinth Thares, it's hard to tell these days) and are made up of an eclectic collection of demons, humans, angels, and many more. The Order of the Underworld works for an upholding of the concept of honor over 'right' or 'wrong'. They are, for us, good guys... but they're also a bit of a pain in the neck, since they are constantly spawning new enemies. Currently, they are a planned target of the DHM.


The Black Company

We have rather limited information on the Black Company. Led by a woman named 9-Lives, the Black Company seems to be one of those rare, special guilds which no one likes. They are a target of the DHM, but I doubt we're going to end up defending them. Time will tell.


The Ramen Noodle School of Martial Arts

Our actions depend on many things. For one thing, we are a traditionally neutral guild, but we also are traditionally very close allies of the Order. So if the DHM attacks the Order, we will come to their aid. However, we will be fighting a defensive war. We will protect allies under siege, but we will not be bringing the fight to the hunters, nor to our own school. This is not a place of war. However, there should be a note. There are demon guilds, within the forums of Gaia (Free For All Forum, for example) that are also being targeted by the DHM. A vast majority of these guilds are not like the Order; the demons who make those guilds their homes are typically more of the evil persuasion. When the DHM attacks those places, I, personally, may assist him depending on the guild. Whether or not I do so will be decided on a case by case basis. This is not something the entire school will be doing, just me. Like I said, this does not mean I'm an enemy of the Order, just that I am an enemy of evil demon guilds.


So are we going to war? In a word: maybe. Be on guard and prepare to protect our allied guilds from attack. I encourage all of you to research and prepared defensive systems. In particular, I want everyone with mechanical or technical experience to head to either:

-Malabrar (If your expertise lies in smithing, or construction of raw basic parts such as the frame of a golem.)

-The EKASS Control Room (If your expertise lies in construction of small devices such as power crystals, memory crystals, processors, etc.)

-Precis' Workshop (If your expertise lies on construction, from parts, of robots, golems, or other mechanical whatsits, as well as the design of any such automaton.)


Also, it should be noted that the guild has been rather quiet. For those of you who are new to the school, don't worry. We're not dead, we're always like that. sweatdrop I encourage all of you to help each other out. Sparring with each other is an excellent way to train, both as a character and as a roleplayer. The official Training Room of the guild is currently missing, as it was pulled into another dimension in the course of my battle with Saquain. sweatdrop Until we construct a new training room, we'll be using Tenchi Nawagata's Katana Training Dojo. If you want to spar, go there to do it.


Oh... and have a lovely Valentine's Day! ^_^'

C'mon, people! stressed

The guild is dying of silence. >>' If you're bored, find a sparring partner! Get to know your fellow guild members through AIM, or the Gaia Hangout feature. I can't create all your entertainment.

Of course you get a reprieve from duty while in a coma, miquelet... sweatdrop I just meant the others. Mostly the new people. ><'
