Legion of Literates
[A whole new level of adventure]

~Welcome to the Official Thread of the L.O.L. Guild! Here, you will find you may want to be recruited, to check out the guild, to explore features we have to offer and the likes. Legion of Literates, to start off, is a literate role playing guild for the people of gaia. It is a great place, really: I know I know, you're probably thinking, "They all say that!" which we all probably do. And really, there is some great guilds out there! Legion of Literates is full of crew members that dedicate themselves to your literate needs, we're always thinking up new features, have many subforums for you to explore in your favorite interests, and you can even chat and have fun with all the fun people there!

Although we are still somewhat new and gaining members, I think, and so do the others, that we're on a great track so far. We have a large vareity of rps, stretching from FF8, one based on norse mythology, to the epic saga of the very Captain, and much more plus gaining! Along with those comes the OOC forum you can post and plot in. And if you have other interests besides rping? Try the Art and Anti-Writer's Block forum, where you can make your own creative threads with your art/graphics/sketches and others and post stories, whether short or long, and poetry threads!

I can't explain it all here! Just keep reading below and you'll have to see for yourself. If you're interested, click our main banner, with the interesting picture and shields above. And by the way... You can call me Kiki! or Tay. I'm a fellow crew member. Enjoy! ^___^ heart

L.O.L. in a Nutshell!
~Everything we have to offer!~

Soooo, are you now wondering what Legion of Literates has to offer for you and your talented skills? Well, this here will explain just about everything! (Or most of!) So, if you want to read about the sections, what you can do, contests and other special events just check this out!

The Role Playing: -What the guild's all about!-

Role playing in Legion of Literates is as simple as Barton Town. We're just merely... Literate! You may start up as many RPs as you like, may join as many as you like, and just have fun with it! The section for your role playing will go in the General RP section in the subforums! At the moment, I think we've got quite a vareity. We have from Norse Mythology, Samurai, Futuristic, Horror, Fantasy, -even- FF8, Epic Sagas, Free Form RPs, and a very interesting, fun way to RP that you've probably never even heard of in an RP called Celestial Point of Respawning! You play from a selected list of characters by the direction of the person above you, or even create somethign totally new--- if confused, try and check it out! There are also subforums on the main page that lead to many role plays from various members!

Now, as soon as you join the guild, we understand you may be looking for the right role play, so don't feel pressured on joining any when you just start. There's plenty to read with plenty of time!

The Main Forum:

The Main Forum, where you navigate from, is newly organized and in tip-top shape thanks to the vice captain! Here you will find updates for ALL around the guild, where your forums may be moved to and the descriptions of ALL the forums, where main contests will be held, and where you can give yourself a simple or wonderfully written out introduction! You can also look and see in the Open RP section what rps are actually roleplaying that you can join and start automacially in! A plus feature is our birthday list, where you come and tell your birthday and can chat and we'll be sure to send you something special! =3

The Sub-forums:

We have many sub-forums in L.O.L. From the reaches of your talent in art, to the OOC where you plot your role plays, from the Anti-Writer's Block where you can post your stories and poetry, even review, to the special events thread and even more rps with seperate sub-forums! We also have a comminuty discussion thread called the Melting Pot where you can discuss your favorite interests like a renewed, clean, and interesting chatterbox. Although the guild''s for role playing, we can all chat too, right!?

Also. If you have a semi-lit friend, or even a literate, who would love to improve their skills, we have a school for teaching and helping literates with members and crew as their teachers! Even though it's a literate guild, semi-lits and people who want to imrpove strongly are given a trial period! Want to learn more? Check out the expectations below!

The Contests:

And just because it's a role playing guild doesn't mean we don't have CONTESTS! Yes, people, contests. Right now we have one contest on the go:

The One-Liner contest is my personal contest that will ALWAYS be running. It is a conest where you take a one-liner rp post from the selection, which there will be 1-10 every month, and use that either as a sentence in a creative response, theme, or even a full out rp post. The possibilities you could do with a one-liner should be beyond your creativity! The contest will last for 17-18 days until the winners are decided by me and helps of crew members not joined if they want to help, and then the winner will recieve either a sealed letter, donation item from 10-15k, or a different item around the likes! New contests start on the first of every month.

Special Events:

Special events is a new feature we crew membes are working on. You'll have to keep watching and stay guessing for the upcoming one we have planned and more to come! =D

If you have any questions on anything feel free to PM me or your captain on the thread, or the features to any of the following crew members!

Your Easy Expectations!
~How to Join!~

Are you wondering how to join? Well, if you haven't checked out the guild home page yet, you can find out here! We have easy expectations and even a trial period to help teach those who wish to improve their skills from semi-lit to literate, or even literates who wish to improve. Just read below and find out! =D

Joining Qualifications:

To join the wonderful L.O.L. is quite simple! All we need to see is, when you click the "Join Guild" button, simply provide an rping sample you've written! It could be old, could be made up on the spot, could be any type of rp post or writing segment from anything you've written! if one of us has invited you though, you don't have to give us any sort of sample. AND! If you think your sample is too long for the 2000 character limit, go ahead and send it to our wonderful Captain, Mortal Being!

The Trial Membership:

A trial membership in L.O.L. is for those who wish to improve their skills! Our captain has set up a wonderful school for those who wish to come and simply improve their skills, whether semi-lit or literate. To go for a trial membership, give a writing sample that you would write out or have already written and explain your concerns on your writing. You could describe anything, or look at a few of these to decide from. Examples would be:
-Do you have trouble with making profiles?
-Do you have trouble lengthening your post?
-Do you have trouble staying in character?

Simple things like that! Explain your issue and the Captain will set you up right and dandy! According to the Cap'n, the trial course will probably last two weeks, depending on if you and him work something out!

User Image "Ahem," a young man clears his throat as he is ready to give a small monologue, "Once, on a hot summer day, I traveled to a distant land and there beyond thine wondering eye, could it be! Yes it was a-" He paused as he looked out at those listening to him, "Um actually I think that is a story for a different day," his hand rubbed the back of his head, a thing he developed unbeknownst to him every time he realized he made a blunder. "I guess you're here to hear a little about everyone, so I probably should say something about myself or it'd be a little awkward." He stretched a bit wondering what to say, and then his eyes lit up, "Oh, I guess the best place to start is by saying I am Steve Squires, and I am 19. I live in Oklahoma, and well I just love to write." A small smirk arose on his face, "actually the reason I started this guild up is because I love literature, and not to mention that I love literate role plays." With that out of the way there really was not too much to tell anymore, so he decided he would leave the rest for them to ask him personally, "well I guess I haven't told you too much about myself, so if you really want to know, feel free to pester... I mean message me," he gave a loud bellow, "and I'll tell you more, after all I am a very friendly guy who you can't shut up once you get me started." He gave a small bow, "have a good night."

User Image Born 5th of 6 children in the town of Yukon, Oklahoma young Joey passed his early years getting dropped on his head, pretending he was part of the X-men, and beating up on his little sister. Due to a bicycle accident during Kindergarten, his doctors implanted a bionic left leg bone for him granting him super powers. Fearing detection by malevolent forces he fled to Tucson, Arizona during the second grade. There he hoped to successfully mass enough of America's freedom fighters to bring evil to justice. The first of these aforementioned were a Jeopardy-loving old woman, a Star-Wars obsessed teenager, and a good friend named Sean with whom Joey would spend his time plotting their next move over such delicacies as macaroni and orange juice. After a deadly battle against a gigantic dragon born from a mismarked egg shipped incorrectly from a Japanese province no longer in existence, Joey trekked eastward back to Oklahoma City. Near-famous for his daring deeds, he quickly made plenty of new friends with whom he would spend countless nights weaving tails of preposterous hilarity and heroics. Now out of High School, he entertains dreams with the soft but true sound of pencil-to-paper. He enjoys long walks on the beach, Cuban food, salsa dancing, chocolate milk, and yes...still pretending he's part of the X-men.

User Image Well...first off just sayin hey!! And...now I guess I'll tell you about myself, lol. First off...I just gotta say...I'm TOTALLY addicted to anime. Like...it's more addictive than crack. ok? Good, now that we've got that out of the way....I'm pretty much a new-age hippie. I love nature, and i'm a total tree-hugger, animal activist, anti-hunting "freak" as some like to call me...don't worry, i'm proud of that ^.^. I'm an absolute book worm, and I would not be able to LIVE without my books. Books and roleplaying are my way of escaping...along with writing. Yea. I'm a writer. I've started on three books, but totally suck at action, so...they didn't get very far....anyway. Music is my other esacpe. Without that, I would just....go to a corner, curl in a ball, shrivel up and die. I'm not kidding...at all...if my iPod broke...i'd give it a funeral. With the black clothes and all. Yea. I'm that obsessed, lol. Ok, moving on....I'm a total dork, as you've probably noticed, but i'm a dork in a good way. I'm the kinda dork that's way to loud for my own good, and doesn't care. The kinda dork that will go to the mall just to try on prom dresses that I could never afford, and walk by the place with the free samples every ten minutes for my dinner. yea.....that's pretty much me....oh, and I love my friends to death. Mess with them, and I'm dipping you in a vat of boiling acid...just to let ya know.

User Image A girl of 19 stands before the Legion of Literates preparing herself for the road of rps ahead of her, not knowing where to start, "I must start with an introduction of some kind, but how does one introduce one self if that is still yet a mystery to their own heart?" she looks out at her fellow L.O.L. with a kind and mysterious smile. "So far in my life I have come to find that the world of role playing fascinates me, starting with the first time I played D&D with friends and family in Arkansas. I myself am from Minnesota but my heart always yearns for the family and sense of happiness I find from the little town of Pocahontas Arkansas. A place the imagination is allowed to grow as it does when I take the place of the character I am role playing." Taking a step back she sits down on a white marble stair case surrounded by the colors of the wild flowers blooming around her. "My true passion lies with animals, I hope one day to be a veterinarian, to help them live out their lives as long as possible allowing those with the same kindness for animals within them as myself to keep there pets/family with them as long as possible without pain or discomfort." Reaching down to her left she picks up her two adorable kittens, Sami and Jasmine, "As for my other passions besides the two previously mentioned I'm in love with music and the sensations a person can feel when they truly understand the music, the same I can say for poetry. Shakespeare is one of my favorite poets, as you can see by my profile where one of his sonnets I have written out with various avi's of my fellow gaians." Placing the cats gently on the marble stairs she stands, moving backwards towards the columns that loom above her, "As for anything else about me, all one need do is ask and I shall answer." without another word she disappeared into the surrounding wild life with nothing but a whisper of her words left behind.

User Image Bep stands up and walks to the front of the room, she looks at everyone and smiles, "Well, first off I'd like to say that it's nice to see others here who are closer to my own age of 21; well come the 7th of July anyway. Yes, I'm pretty sure that makes me the oldest person here, but I don't mind too much" she chuckled. "I did notice however, that I am the first person not from the States... at least I think I'm the first person to mention that" she shrugged, "my memory isn't too good at times. Anyway, I'm from Canada, currently studying Drama and English at the University of Toronto.

As for personality, well I'm a very kind individual, and I don't mind talking to anyone about anything really. Most of my friends feel very comfortable talking to me about things. Let's see what else... I enjoy role playing and being able to get my creative ideas out, I hope to join a few role plays in this guild, and look forward to role playing with everyone here" she smiled and took a breath.

She wasn't sure what else to say, sure she could say that she played video games, but that had been previously mentioned by others. Without thinking of anything and realizing she had probably spent too much time in silence already, she blushed, "I guess that's everything, sorry for taking up your time" she said before heading back to her spot. Then she suddenly stopped, "OH! Heh, my name is Beppo, but you can call me Bep, or anything else you can think of" she stated quickly before rushing back to her spot, clearly embaressed for not saying her name earlier.


User Image Hm… What to say... What to say… Oh, Hiya! Like everyone else in this guild, I like to roleplay, writing, and listen to music. Music plays a huge part of my life. It inspires me so much when I do things. I don't know what I'd do if music never existed. Ever since I got my iPod for Christmas, I haven't put it down at all. My family is starting to believe that my headphones will attach to my ears because I rarely ever put my iPod down. Well, I also like watching anime and I write fanfiction about that on another site that I'm a part of. I'm like obsessed with the color blue. I don't know why. I just am. I'm also a soccer freak and I love to play soccer. Oh! I almost forgot about my friends! There's only one word to say when we are all together… CRAZINESS! I love my friends and I'd do anything for them in a heartbeat… Well, except to jump off a two-hundred story building. Other than that and playing video games with my friends, that's me!

User ImageA young teenager stands before the crowd, a spunky one full of energy and excitement. One who gets stuck in the midst of daydreaming when she can, among the nitemares of her dreams, of her future fantasies, of the unrealistic beings that would never sweep her off of her feet from such a plain, devestated world. She clears her throat, waving her arms in a freindly greeting, "Oi! My name's Kiki! You can call me Tay if you'd like though. Well, my real name's Kristina, but I like Kiki better. Ah, nevermind! I won't rant!" she looks up into the lights, such bright things, then looks down as her eyes water in reaction, "Ah, my eyes are sensitive to just about anything it seems!" she shakes her head, blinking a few times, then sighs, turning to such an audience once more, "Okay then! Well, I got me name over with. You see... my favorite thing to do is read; when I started reading, I thought about writing, and so it has come to this! Writing is so passionate; the plays of Shakespeare, the novels of Mercedes Lackey, the wonderful Greek Mythology and History in its own! I am a geek among myself, full of computer whiz techniques and a knack for cats," she starts laughing, crossing her arms over her chest with a playful grin, "I love my cats more than anything in the world! But enough of that! I just hope you'll enjoy the guild, 'cuz I love it! And role playing. I have to say, if I couldn't role play I would be heartbroken. And right now I can't use emoticons to express it because I'm talking. DARN YOU INTRODUCTION!" she holds her fist up in anger, catches the light in her eyes, and shudders away from it with watery eyes, "And with that, that darned light gets me again!"

User Image A short young looking woman dashes through the door panting. "Whoa, am I late? Did I miss it?" She suddenly notices everyone watching her and giggles in embarrassment. "Guess not," she surmises ambling toward the front of the crowd. "Hello there! My name is Serena. I've recently gotten into the whole RPing thing, haven't been doing it for very long actually. Anyways I love writing so yeah I kind of apply writing to RPing only it a bit tricker in some respects." She hears silence and decides to change the subject as she would just keep rambling on otherwise. "Anyways, I also love music, I can't go like a single second without listening to music or noise, I can't stand silence in that sense. I also enjoy anime, reading, playing RPGs on my computer. I make graphics and web sites pretty much all the time, it is my number one hobby that I would like to turn into a job, haven't had much luck yet. All right I think I've rambled on enough." She gives a little wave and then bounces off to take a seat somewhere so that she can catch her breath.

User Image A short, young asian girl, of about 5 feet stepped up and onto the plate. It was her turn! Grinning widley, she gave them the usual asian greeting; a peace sign close to her face, as well as a wink. Her reddish, brownish hair was tied up into two small pigtails, falling flat on top of her hair. Her big brown eyes sparked up in the light and her clothes were a plaid button up shirt, the sleeves rolled up till it reached her elbows. The girl had on short shorts, teal colored and appeared to have an American Eagle logo on the bottom of the left side. Letting out a soft giggle, she started to talk.
"Hmm... Lets see..." She thought of how to start the introduction. "Ah! Right... By the way, Mortal Being invited me, but I just wanted to write this anyways. Just bored." And she let out the same sweet and innocent giggle she did before she started to talk. Continuing on... "Anyways, You can call me Nikki, Nicole, or any other nicknames you see fit." Looking down at her left hand, directly at her middle finger, she frowned. Her middle finger was all swollen and purple. "This was caused by my little brother... early today." And she sniffed a little, sticking out her bottom lip into a pout. "He slammed a door onto my finger!!!" She accused her little brother, basically with a shout.
Nikki seemed to LOOK around to be 15, but really, she was younger than that. But, she's not ready to admit it yet... until in late August. "Well... I'm part Chinese, and part Burmese." She looked around, blank faces as she said 'Burmese'. Letting out a sigh and slouching her shoulders a little, she explained, "Gosh... It's the country under China..." And she just glanced around them, trying to say, 'Do you get it NOW..?'
"Okay... on with myself! Interests... I love romance, furry little animals, sweet foods, asian cuisines, fruits in general, singing, writing..." As she started to list them, she counted on her fingers. Then, with a smooth movement, Nikki tucked the several strands of dyed red hair behind her ear as she continued on. "Okay... what I hate..." And she started to list again. Not all of it, but the things that just pop into her head. "My idiotic brothers, people yelling, not being allowed on my lappy... that's my laptop..." And she had to think about this. She slightly tapped her bottom lip that stuck out. Nikki always did that as she thought. "Oh! And not being able to find the right piccys for a roleplay, making you get a real pictures." And she let out the sigh, tired of talking and already running out of things to say.
"Well... if this isn't enough for you, then just give me a message, and I will ALWAYS get back to you!" And she stepped off the plate with a smile. "Peace out!"
