Sorry about the hold up. I've been a bit busy as of late. I'll be able to post later today.
@Cmeriwether Inside the cloth is a pair of armlets, known in the story as Focus and Restraint worn by Fuyumi. I'll let you design them yourself if you want, but the abilities I will make.
Kind of an RPG element to getting gear and stuff, but I think it adds an interesting aspect to the RP, giving characters actual things that can alter how they fight or even are as a character. All you will eventually get stuff as that's what the Other Items were in the character profiles, in case you guys haven't noticed the NPCs tend to have quite a collection. Items of note are very powerful, especially named ones such as the ones that Fuyuko got.
Location Lore (brief): Celestial Gardens: The Celestial Gardens is essentially the heaven equivalent of the real world, but in Fortuna the Celestial Gardens is an actual location, and no mortals have ever been there, it said the Gardens is where all passed spirits go, it is also the world's primary defense against the Cosmos and the Eldritch, and it can create beings of great power to do so, these beings are known as Celestials and live in Fortuna.

Focus - Enhances the wearer's mana flow in their body allowing for greater uses of magic and grants a steady flow mana restoration. Also allows the wearer to cast spells/use abilities quicker by approx 50%
Restraint - Grants the wearer to be able to cast magic with less mana with each spell/ability. Excess mana used by a spell will be recycled back into he wearer.
Set - When Focus and Restraint are worn together the user is able to tap into the raw magic in their body granting them Arcane Affinity as long as the armlets are worn. If the wearer already has Arcane Affiliation then their Arcane Magic/Abilities are increased by approx. 150%.

Height: 5'6"
Weight/Body Build: Unknown weight, Athletic and feminine
Species: Human
Affinity(s): Fire, Lightning, Water, Ice, Earth, Sand/Mud, Wind, Arcane, Spirit, Life
Weapon of Choice: Combat Gloves
Preferred Style of Combat: Close-quarters magic enhanced melee, area of effect based, precision based, support mage
Other Items: Battle Gloves of Zealous Fortitude
Ability Index: 1= Not well trained got like a C in the subject. 2 =Not too bad, you can get by but still rough around the edges. 3 = Decent, but your skills will not turn any heads, average for Trainer Guild Graduates. 4 = You can be considered a master and is good enough to teach others. 5 = You are a God-like virtuoso, your skills are a spectacle to behold (No player character should have a 5 at this point).
Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: Long and straight
Clothing/Physical Appearance: She has fair skin and long straight black hair that ended just above her waist, and her large expressive almond shaped eyes were a deep red. She is dressed in a white tank-top under a black leather mini-vest with a short loose black leather skirt, and a pair of white high top combat boots. Her Battle Gloves of Zealous Fortitude are tucked under her belt.
Personality: Alyssa is an extremely hard worker, she carries a lot of motherly traits, spending her spare time caring for everyone else but herself and tries to keep everyone around her optimistic. Despite this Alyssa herself is emphatic and emotionally shy. Identifying and responding to the feelings of others, Alyssa does not express her own personal feelings often.
Other Character Notes: One of the founding members of the Abyss Walkers, within the guild's ranking she is ranked No. 5. Alyssa is universally loved by all in the guild. Alyssa has access to all affinities of magic not by natural means but by highly controversial, dangerously life threatening, and experimental magical surgery developed by herself and Aria that maximized the mana flow of her body and created artificial focus points though her body and infusing these focus points with raw energy of the magical affiliation it allows her to perform incredible feats of magic and melee the likes of which the world has never seen. Alyssa was not expected to survive the surgery due to the immense amount of spiritual mutilation that occurs, essentially slicing, redirecting, and reconstructing an entire person's mana flow system though spirit and life manipulation was unheard of. Alyssa's recovery time and suffering was long and grueling, but her survival and the results of the surgery stands as a defiance to nature and is a procedure that Aria and Alyssa sworn to never repeat.

@Cmeriwether you can if you want for easier access for reference. But I think I may break major arks apart into different threads, but you guys can update your characters whenever it's relevant to do so
Decided to break the tour into at least two posts, could be more, not gonna wait for everyone's response during this though, and the tour will just kind of move on as I finish posts, autoing I guess including moving characters along with the group during the tour if that is okay with everyone. I know it's a bit overwhelming with all the NPCs but i think the way they will be actually introduced and interacted with should be fine, just kinda front loaded but, I've been updating the OP post with all the NPCs so their info. is easy to access, hope that helps out. I promise you guys will be able to do some stuff soon via ability demonstrations will happen soon along with just character interactions.
EDIT: NOTE on the Ability Index: The numbers written in the Ability Index X/5 is the character's raw ability, as this a world of magic, powerful items, etc. these numbers are commonly boosted and altered by magic, abilities, and items.

In Levi's head, I commented about the guild being fairly new. I realize that I sort of just made an assumption there that could've been very incorrect. I know the guild isn't super new, but I just assumed that there were guilds that were at least a century. Sorry about my presumptive there, is it safe to say that the Abyss Walkers is a fairly new guild in the context of this world (I don't know how old adventure guilds typically are)?
@Barefoot_Kittens yep the Abyss Walkers as a guild is not even a decade old. The founding members have been together longer but as a guild it’s less than 10 years old. Mr.Ashcroft actually alluded to this in his introduction saying he has been in the Abyss Walker’s service for nearly a decade though he has involvement with them before the guild was formed.
and yea there are huge ancient guilds that are thousands of years old with thousands of members and some that are even endorsed by cities, nobels, and even rulers. The Abyss Walkers is a baby guild in comparison. Their growth and access to resources is one of the controversies that surrounds them, in the grand scale of things they kind of popped up over night and rapidly grew to be quite a formidable force for those who have encouraged and/or dealt with then.

Apologies for another mega post, just world building and exposition stuff, should get shorter from here on out. So to be clear and pointing out some important details: the main mansion is available to be explored, Xuki is staying in the same building the six are, she is available as a source of information and as a sparring partner. Going to give a bit of time prob. several days, latest to a week (05/31) for responses and answers before I continue to the dinner.

I'm gonna be pretty busy for a while so I'm going to be a bit slow with posting. I'll have some time later tonight to post potentially though. (Life has been a tad cringe lately.)
Here's a map I quickly drew up of the room and common area, the hall way leading out to the rest of the building isn't actually that long. The guest house basically has multiple identical setup, about six on the first floor (three on each side) and four on the second floor (two on each side).

Should we discuss who we want to win here, first? Or just let the RP play out and tally whatever the characters decide?
Psymallard
Previously mallard
I think it would be better to let it naturally play out.
well the best way is to discuss it out here, and then RP it to the conclusion, just letting it go in the RP without a particular goal could drag on for much longer than needed lol
EDIT: but if you guys think you can figure it our in a couple of posts then go ahead
Also Familiars are a thing, but a bit different in this context, and only accessible by the most dedicated and masterful magic users.
Familiars: Very strong independent magical creatures that can be summoned by master magic users. Whenever a mage is born a Familiar is also born and bound to the mage, but in a separate dimension only known as the Dreamlands. Only master magic users will have the capability to contact and summon their bound Familiar to Fortuna.
A Familiar has its own personality, and its own set of skills, its power in magic is directly proportional to the mage it’s bound to and are not always the same or even related to the mage’s own abilities, they are as smart as any individual and almost always tend to be some type of magic user themselves. If they are physically killed in Fortuna they merely return back to the Dreamlands and wait to be re-summoned again. If the mage they are bound to is killed then they will die or if their spirit is killed in Fortuna they will also die unable to return to the Dreamlands. They often trabel, battle, and fight along side their bound mage as a close reliable ally, some powerful mage's Families are even more powerful than other adventurers.

I think that we are struggling right now with not knowing what to post, so I feel that the best thing to do is to discuss things here so that we can get this show on the road
. All we have to decide is who we're gonna have as the captain in the long run. Of course, our character's personal opinions of each other should be taken into account, but we should decide who will be the best leader based off of their personality and what they have demonstrated in the RP so far. First of all, whose characters want to run for the captain position?
Psymallard
Previously mallard
For the leader thing, I think Joseph would be pretty good if he was voted. He's the most charismatic, and he is a pretty good strategist. You make a good point with bringing up personal opinions, Joseph would refuse to listen to someone like Levi lol.
yes please base decisions and thoughts through the lens and perception of your respective characters demonstrated so far.
remember the captain calls the shots on a mission and unless the decision is outwardly bad or has a glaring flaw its expected to be followed through, and you're all expected to understand and know one another like brothers and sisters

I've been meaning to post on the RP thread in response to Barfoot_Kittens' character. I've been slow on it (my bad). I can make a post in a bit.
This is what I've got for each character so far (these comments mostly reflect Levi's opinions so please don't kill me), I'll also include what I think Levi's biggest flaws are according to the others
Fuyuko: Though quiet thus far, Fuyuko has a strong background that would back her eligible for the job- her mother was a legacy and she already has magical equipment that puts her ahead of the others. According to her bio she had a strong sense of morals (we have, however, yet to see that), she is also likely good at magic if her mother was a wizard and taught her anything. She basically said that she didn't plan on running, though she seemed hesitant, her least redeeming quality would be how emotional and quiet she had been so far (granted it's a bad time with seeing memories of her mother all over the place).
Joseph: Joseph has the natural abilities to get people's attention, with an easy-going, charming attitude but the ability to get loud when needed. He obviously wants the position, and claims to be the best suited for it based off of his heroic attitude as well as combat strength (this has however, yet to have a chance to be proven true). Still, Joseph's playful attitude seems inappropriate at times and his stubbornness has come off as more childish than anything else; also, Levi's pretty sure he's flat out stupid.
Clint: It's pretty clear that Clint had a big heart and he's an ambitious go getter, granted he's made a bad impression (at least to Levi) based on how many times he's been made fun of for his armor, and he has still yet to take it off. He seems to have a stereotypical hero attitude, making him a good fit for the job, ad he even sort of took the lead of the whole icebreaker thing. He's a rather positive character, which irks Levi a bit, he seems more naive than anything else.
Hunheart: Hunheart's arcane arms makes him, upon first inspection, appear to be skilled in magic (though that assumption is based off of no facts). He has taken initiative more than once in striking up conversation, but seems pretty closed off and reserved over all. The fact he wouldn't even share his name at first hints that it won't be easy to gain his trust, which of course makes him seem untrustworthy as well. He's been fairly quiet thus far, Levi can't help but feel that he doesn't have enough information on him.
Loufe: Loufe's got a major problem, and he should probably work on that perfect he adds other stuff to his plate. The fact he lied to Levi, obviously set off some red flags, but there is something about him that is just unnervingly hostile and ominous. When he speaks, he's well mannered and nice- but then he goes off talking to himself, which is flat out weird.
Levi: While perceptive and keen, possibly showing to be the most intelligent of the recruits, Levi has thus far not made much effort to make friends. Despite multiple messages about the guild being family he obviously doesn't trust the others, his distrustful attitude makes it hard to trust him as well. He's also a plain jerk, I don't think there are any Levi fans out there, granted there may be a few haters. His rude comments prove that he is not working towards the common goal of 'becoming a family' which means he may have trouble with teamwork, definitely not the best recipe for a team captain.
Out of that, my top three for team captain would be : Clint, Fuyuko, or Joseph (not necessarily in that order)
Fuyuko: Though quiet thus far, Fuyuko has a strong background that would back her eligible for the job- her mother was a legacy and she already has magical equipment that puts her ahead of the others. According to her bio she had a strong sense of morals (we have, however, yet to see that), she is also likely good at magic if her mother was a wizard and taught her anything. She basically said that she didn't plan on running, though she seemed hesitant, her least redeeming quality would be how emotional and quiet she had been so far (granted it's a bad time with seeing memories of her mother all over the place).
Joseph: Joseph has the natural abilities to get people's attention, with an easy-going, charming attitude but the ability to get loud when needed. He obviously wants the position, and claims to be the best suited for it based off of his heroic attitude as well as combat strength (this has however, yet to have a chance to be proven true). Still, Joseph's playful attitude seems inappropriate at times and his stubbornness has come off as more childish than anything else; also, Levi's pretty sure he's flat out stupid.
Clint: It's pretty clear that Clint had a big heart and he's an ambitious go getter, granted he's made a bad impression (at least to Levi) based on how many times he's been made fun of for his armor, and he has still yet to take it off. He seems to have a stereotypical hero attitude, making him a good fit for the job, ad he even sort of took the lead of the whole icebreaker thing. He's a rather positive character, which irks Levi a bit, he seems more naive than anything else.
Hunheart: Hunheart's arcane arms makes him, upon first inspection, appear to be skilled in magic (though that assumption is based off of no facts). He has taken initiative more than once in striking up conversation, but seems pretty closed off and reserved over all. The fact he wouldn't even share his name at first hints that it won't be easy to gain his trust, which of course makes him seem untrustworthy as well. He's been fairly quiet thus far, Levi can't help but feel that he doesn't have enough information on him.
Loufe: Loufe's got a major problem, and he should probably work on that perfect he adds other stuff to his plate. The fact he lied to Levi, obviously set off some red flags, but there is something about him that is just unnervingly hostile and ominous. When he speaks, he's well mannered and nice- but then he goes off talking to himself, which is flat out weird.
Levi: While perceptive and keen, possibly showing to be the most intelligent of the recruits, Levi has thus far not made much effort to make friends. Despite multiple messages about the guild being family he obviously doesn't trust the others, his distrustful attitude makes it hard to trust him as well. He's also a plain jerk, I don't think there are any Levi fans out there, granted there may be a few haters. His rude comments prove that he is not working towards the common goal of 'becoming a family' which means he may have trouble with teamwork, definitely not the best recipe for a team captain.

Joseph definitely makes sense to me, but I could also see Hunheart all aside from the potential trust problems.

Joseph would only complain long term if Levi or Fuyuko (he's jealous of the attention pointed at her) were elected. There wouldn't be conflict too drastic if Fuyuko was elected, though. Also, Joseph wasn't intended to be a great leader character, but nobody else fills the archetype much more than he does. I do agree with @Barefoot_Kittens thoughts.
I could see Joseph, but Someone like Clint or Fuyuko would be good if Joseph is Incapacitated or out in some other way.

My problem with Clint as a leader is in terms of battle he is a tad clueless when it comes to strategy. He might even act a bit recklessly depending on the situation, which I probably should have added in bio.
Well, since our discussion failed to get anywhere XD, we'll just have a poll here. Also, in the RP- just have your character do their introduction, it doesn't have to be in any specific order, I'll post Levi soon.
https://linkto.run/p/5XJOV5K7 (Have your say: Team Captain)
Anyways, here is a link to a poll (I only included those who we thought had a chance at it). Please only vote once, because the vote is from your character
Edit: Ok, we still can't come up with a solution. No matter what we do, it seems to be a three way tie between Fuyuko, Joseph, and Clinton- I don't want to type another post since I had the last one, but I'm gonna message Foxex for a solution. This is harder than it should be XD.

@Ridleymon nope, in the convo that @Barefoot_Kittens sent me, i told him/her what was up, so im just going to let him/her progress the time when the team goes to meet Xuki down stairs, if that's okay with @Barefoot_Kittens and the the rest of the group to let @Barefoot_Kittens do a tiny bit of auto, to move things along

Prepare for the biggest prank of all time.
I'll work up a quick post once everyone likes my post or Foxxex's post above so I know I have permission to auto. Also, dont worry- I won't make your characters say or do anything it'll be more like "after everyone introduced themselves the group tallied up votes..."

Should we make new posts? I’m just a bit confused cause I thought we were autoing to dinner.
