Editing Mage's guild (old) (section)

=== Active Members ===

'''Archwizard Anthrutius''': thought to be stuck in the past, but still manages to call the Guild to its meetings. Despite having been challenged more than once because of his habit of overseeing everything without actively doing that much, he has recently shown why you'd better not fuck with the wizard with the pointiest hat. Recently murdered, but he got better. 

Current status: Grand Poobah of the bathrobe fellows, or "Archwizard" if you like.

Main M.O.: leaving other wizards sort shit by themselves. 

'''Conspierre, Esteemed Conspiromancer''': Is ''not'' the father of all conspiracies, is ''not'' currently planning the downfall of our entire society. Despite a penchant for tricks and deception he manages to stay a pleasant fellow most of the time. Some of the voices in his head may or may not be real. Recent happenings led him to question some of his methods. Then Secretus came back and Pierre dueled Vex, feigning death only to rally and organize the others to better fight Secretus.

Current status: Very much alive, he set up the plan that ended up in kicking Secretus'ass... kinda.

Main M.O.: Planning and playing the long game. Lately, he has shown surprising competence in casting on the fly. Whether this continues or not remains to be seen

'''A cowled apprentice''': an apprentice always wearing a coat and a hood, he is hiring talentless hacks for a secret mission and is obviously not a certain cunning conspiromancer in disguise.

'''Doctor Biscuitbarrel Adrian, D.Thaum, M.Blit, MMG, MRSBSU, BSC, SSC ''': Head of Weaponized Astronomy. Put a Tarrasque on the moon, then exploded it because he thought our planet would look pretty sweet with rings. Later made a new moon, which was briefly accidentally replaced by a lawnchair, spawning a short-lived cult. Long thought inactive, he has returned recently with new plans for blowing up stars in the most spectacular fashion and his currently after a newly discovered one.

Current status: trying to get yet another star to asplode.

Main M.O.: Gravity manipulation and big ass explosions.

'''Fryia the Crow''': Lesbian head of witchcraft, former pupil of Jheska, used to hate sorcerers with passion before starting to date Noel. She came back from Jheska's thrall after Antruthius forced the drow out of her body and alongside her girlfriend adopted Jheska's daughter, although the rough experience seems to have left a scar on her soul.

Current status: on a personal crusade against mad cultists and everyone else who managed to piss her off recently.

Main M.O.: prehensile hair, death curses and Power Words when shit hits the fan.

'''Lupa the Fleshwarper''': One fucking weird bitch, she likes to experiment on EVERYTHING. One of the oldest members of the guild. Actually her name is featured in a number of folktales to scare off kids. Usually not the most pleasant fellow to be around, she does not get along with rookies. Was recently stuck in a loli body until she managed to assemble a new one which she deems to be astoundingly beautiful.

Current status: annoyed with new members and just mildly bothered the cataclysmic shifts happening around her, insulting everyone and everything, but mostly Cromina, being pretty smug about her own new body.

Main M.O.: sending weird monsters to maim things, or insulting when she can not be bothered to do that (that is, most of the times)

'''High Bureaumancer Tedias''': Head of Bureaumancy and Accounting. Rarely a nice acquaintance, but great to have handy when figuring out your taxes. Any legal action towards the guild goes through him and his team of equally uninteresting protegés. Apathetic, callous and vain, Tedias is one of the oldest members of the guild, at least old enough to have forged its first permission form from the king, and defended it from its very first lawsuit (from said king.) Has a vacation home and office in the Elemental Plane of Eternal Paperwork, where he spends most of his time outside of meetings.

Current status: Saving the guild from bankruptcy through generous use of false documentation and legal loopholes.

Main M.O.: Taking care of the Guilds absurdly complicated accounting department, writing off dead apprentices as 'collateral damage' and teaching the most tedious class of all: Applied Bureaumancy and Advanced Magical Economy

'''Percival Cobb''': Head Hydromancer. Constantly complains about the good old times even if most would agree that they were never that good. After his endless bitching, he decided to give young age another go and proceeded to rejuvenate himself. 

Current status: discovering yet again the wonders of being a youngster

Main M.O.: hitting things with pressurized water

'''Soros, Head of Divination''': Unbelievably powerful, most gods are younger than him. He is still younger than Lupa though. All of his dabbling with powers best left unknown gave birth to a being of chaos known as the World Eater, lurking inside of Soros' mind. Last time it broke free, he destroyed Pierre restaurant before being put down by a waterfall of coffee. All things considered, though, he is a good fellow who isn't above diving in the face of danger to save his companions.

Current status: hopefully questioning his methods, otherwise keeping the low profile for once.

Main M.O.: ruthless and swift application of powerful ancient magic, tendrils of chaotic energy.

'''Elias Flamel, Associate Professor of Alchemical Studies''': An alchemist descended from a former head of the guild's Alchemy Department. Hired on part-time to help oversee laboratory uses and teach some of the graduate students. Spends the other part of his time trying to replicate the Philosopher's Stone from his ancestor's notes. Attempts to be a voice of reason at meetings, even if the logical answer is also an outrageous one.

Current status: Well-composed, but slightly singed.

Main M.O.: A good balance of magic and science. 

'''tuypo the planeshifter phead of planer studys at the mages guild ''': makes planes, is a polygamist, bisexual (most wizards are really), one of the newer members, specilises in changing the location of planes, has been recently involved in a war against a horde of goblins. His accent and the fact he seems to loathe punctuation bug more than a wizard.

Current status: who knows?

Main M.O.: plane shifting, allegedly, but he never seems to do anything on-screen.

'''Urr the Medicaster''': A talentless hack of a healer that raises his patients as undead to avoid lawsuits. Looks like a skeleton wearing an asbestos bathrobe.

Current status: Gone for most of the time since the day after the drow invasion. Currently renegotiating the salaries of his vast horde of skeletons since they joined the Guild of Henchmen and Minions.

Main M.O.: resurrecting and lying.

'''Warlock Noel''': The head of Pyromancy, among the youngest members of the guild. A nun gave her a male name on accident and she will react violently to being mistaken as male. To be fair she tends to react violently to most things, including, but not limited to, anything Lupa says, her apprentice wearing pants, and a certain drow witch. Although she used to loathe witches, she reciprocates Fryia's feeling (being the tsundere to Fryia's yandere) and together they a have adopted a drow child. 

Current status: getting tangled up in Magical Girls shenanigans, much to Fryia's dismay.

Main M.O.: setting things on fire, fittingly.

''' Cromia Lieselotte Isolda Von Mannsfield-Schwartzhelm''': Better known as Cromina. Eldritch knight, formerly a fighter, formerly male. Kinky, evil and corrupted by negative energy as a results of bargaining with Asmodeus, she is not so secretly ashamed of being a warlock, since she thinks spontaneous casters are no better than bards. She tends to be highly sociable and cheerful but has a well-known cold-hearted, rude and unlikable side. As of now she is busy being the new Queen of Valmia, after having waged a war against the nobles of her homeland- as a side effects she has become a better person now that she has to guide a non evil nation.

Current status: turned into a devil, then turned back into a tiefling. Currently Queen of Valmia
   
Main M.O.: fireball-chain lightning-hack&slash-rinse and repeat. 

'''Mortimer, the Dutiful Assistant''': half giant ex thieves guild assistant, has 500 years of practice into making coffee and his very proud about it; said coffee banished an avatar of chaos itself, so it has to be any good at least.

Current status: trying to help Cromina get over her depression and working on a new magic-fueled coffee delivering business.

Main M.O.: he has a club.


'''Apprentice Krogrr & Brogrr''': Two heads are better than one as they say, however it is too early in these two's training to know for sure. Hailing from an unknown region, their species was apparently banned from the kingdom the guild was residing at. After fudging some paperwork, they were brought in as "special needs students."

Current status: Studying diligently and helping out around the guild

Main M.O.: Arguing with each other

'''Quin Bradley, Head of the Magical Girls Department''': After a series of unfortunate circumstances, was transformed first into a little girl, then into some manner of eastern marshmallow cat. Seems relatively happy in her current state, if a little unsettling. And carnivorous.

Current status: Relaxing after eating Jheska

Main M.O.: Is it still cannibalism if you're no longer humanoid?

'''Veilhex Doomblight, Necromancy Instructor''': One of the numerous Necromancers in the guild, and a doting uncle to his niece at the academy. Veilhex enjoys battle F O E's, raising the dead, and poaching corpses whenever possible to keep up with the insatiable demand of his department.

Current status: Teaching numerous apprentices the values of natural selection

Main M.O.: Raising an improbable number of zombies.

'''Anfarthon the Dishonored''': Former representative of the Empyrean council who lost favor after engaging in a particularly unwholesome tryst with Lupa the Fleshwarper, and attempting to repair magical damage caused to Conspierre after he attempted to censor the event. Unfortunately the power of lewd shone bright, brightly enough to alert the council and cause him to lose their favor. Briefly moonlighted as the head of the lawmagi within the guild, but found the work unfulfilling.

Current status: Soul searching, and on a journey of self-discovery.

Main M.O.: Various law based magics, and a supreme knowledge of the various rules, regulations, pacts, guidelines, and codes that govern the land.

'''Lord James of the Red Shadow''':  A man whose shadow contains the spirits of his dead ancestors, among others, tracing back to a ritual performed by Aetherius, a hero of the First Age. He is relatively easy going, and generally polite, although he is quite brutal when his family is threatened. He has the ability to cast incredibly powerful spells, proving powerful enough to drag a god out of its own demiplane of divinity. The shadow energy leaking from James has plunged the Archives, where James spends most of his off time, into the Shadow Realm.

Current status: The Lord of Valendale, James spends his time fighting various threats to the kingdom, currently he is stationed at the Mages Guild.

Main M.O.:  Taking advice, power, and knowledge from the spirits in his shadow. He knows a lot of things, many of which are powerful ritual magics, someone born in this day and age should have no business with.

'''Samantha, Apprentice Sorceress''': A young geomancer still trying to learn the ropes as a new addition to the mage's guild. Quickly became Noel's apprentice after a disagreement with her wardrobe, although her current research has gotten her mixed up with several magical girl trinkets.

Current status: Trying to make magical girl tech make sense to the rest of us.

Main M.O.: Earth and lava-based magical attacks, can use a magical girl's transformation artifact to wield flames in several different ways.

'''Primal Magus Dramorn Oakenheart''': A Dragonborn Fighter, Mage, Adventurer and occasional crime fighter, Dramorn is a newer member to the guild, recently rejoining the guild after he was accused of lewd acts (which he was innocent off) and booted. Now that the dust has settled Dramorn is trying to find a place in the Guild, but for now he spends his time fighting, drinking, and palling around with guildmates. He used to go by the moniker "Ironarm" on account of his left arm, which happens to be a highly modified Warforged limb, but has recently gone back to using his family name, Oakenheart, since he now has a Mimic, Darwin, that molds to his arm and mimics his coppery hide, camouflaging its robotic nature.   

Current status: Homeless; living in the Fighter-Wizards Guild headquarters and crashing at others houses.

Main M.O.: Falchion Swinging and primal Elemental magic.

'''Lazarus, The recently re-reinstituted head of necromancy''': Previously, and for some time, known as The recently re-resurrected ex-head of necromancy until resuming his position as head of the Department of Necromancy. Has lived for a long time, and has probably spent more time dead than most people alive. His first death was at the hands his first apprentice, few know the exact number of deaths he has suffered since but at least two of them he blames on his old apprentice. This, combined by a long line of apprentices since who weren't able to live up to his expectations, has led to him having a dislike for apprentices.

Current status: Recently re-resurrected.

Main M.O.: Screwing over druids, watching apprentices die and building undead armies.

'''Zirconis, Dragon Magic Teacher''': Son of the Guilds biggest investor, Draconis the Red. A half dragon sorcerer/Dragon disciple known for being a smug arrogant dick. Not very smart and only cares about money. He is like that rich kid in school that you hated because it was rich and rubbed it under everyones nose. He is actually good at fire and hoard related magic but incompetent in most other forms of magic. 

Current status: Being the biggest dick EVER.

Main M.O.: Somehow being the most evil member on a personal basis.

'''Random mage in the back''': he points out things and has a penchant for pestering Zirconis, somehow managing to never give away his position or identity. Their constant bickering is a source of never ending entertainment for the rest of the guild.

'''Ivina Ferrus, Thundercaller''': A highly skilled Fulminomancer and Knight of the Realm apparently. Ivina went by the name Ivan when she was male, but an encounter with pixies changed that. She's highly skilled in the art of Fulminomancy, to the point of controlling any she can sense. Besides Fulminomancy she's skilled in Weathermancy and Telekinesis. Her hobbies include cosmic exploration, cosmic genocide of innocent races, destruction of planets and stars, and having fun with most of the other guild members.

Current status: Dealing with mind raping an apprentice and adventure

Main M.O.: Seizing control of a person's nerve and copious amounts of lightning

'''Caesar the Hawk''': a Valmian hawk. That's it. Cromia uses it so send letters sinc she can't into divination or mental sending. He is a rapacious, smug, malevolent bird who is perfectly aware of being awesome. He seems to find Ivina's shoulder rather comfortable and has taken an habit of resting there, doing her favors which he is paid for in bagels.

'''Trostia Flakker, Metalurgy Department Head''': A female mage with red hair, kinda short, vulgar, adventurous, and a quick temper. She has 5 kinetic spheres, that appear to be flawless, and extremely heavy for their size. (They release a tremendous energetic blast when they hit objects at high speeds) She's one of the fastest to become one of the Department Heads, for a school of magic she invented. Very resourceful. Currently on a quest for the "6th Sphere". Lost her arm to the Magical Girls Device, replaced with a limb of living metal, that resembles a tree with vines with the "roots" digging deep into her torso.

Main M.O. Using the kinetic spheres as range weapon, Utility devices, weights, and as a general tool.

'''Rogok and Rogob''': A duo of magic-born aberations spawned from the Mystery Sludge during an apprentice obstacle course. At first, they appeared as evil clones of Krogrr and Brogrr, but recent mishaps have transformed them into female goblins. They've since taken to their new forms and proudly act as goblins should, often causing mischief for their "comrades" in the guild or dragging their fellow mages along in their latest shenanigans. They are the spokeswomen of the Goblin Workers' Party, and have so far paved the way for their recruited goblin comrades to staff most of the menial labor for the guild.

Current Status: Trying desperately to learn magic from a master, causing problems for their friends, and something sinister featuring Vex.

Main M.O.: Mischief-making, fueled by vodka and communism.

'''K.D.'''A Young girl who is pretty tubby. Apprenticed to Lazarus and the 4th of April and determined to make him proud.

Main M.O. Using portals and being a lazy shit.

'''Gluglobul, Head of Oozemancy''' A Kuo-Toa turned Sea-elf that also acts as the representative of the Strangers. He developed his oozemancy from scratch and now teaches it to the various redcloaks and students that populate the Mages Guild. He can also transform, but instead of turning into a Magical Girl like many other members of the Mages Guild, he transforms into a fully armored warrior known as a Dengen Senshi.

Current Status: Doing paperwork and teaching classes for the Oozemancy Department and trying to take care of his adopted daughter.

Main M.O.: Creating more oozemancy spells and hanging out in his free time.

'''Botelus Shoemaker, Nechronomancer''' A new member to the guild who started out as a necromancer, then decided to minor in chronomancy and combined the two for easy identification. Is constantly panicked, due to long term exposure to abominations, paradoxes, and the average chronomancer.

Current Status: Trying to surmount the incredibly high apprentice mortality rate.

Main M.O.: Stuttering, nervousness, and occasional amazing feats/terrible crimes against nature.

'''Grímur, the Moderately Eclectic''' A middle-aged man in stereotypical wizard garb, who actually isn't great at most kinds of magic, but is quite mediocre at all of it. His greatest feat is the creation of a Necromantic Truth-Speaking Tiger, which he has misplaced. His beard extends to the ground, and his hat is actually almost taller than him.

Current Status: Doing what he wants and telling the "man" to stick it.

Main M.O.: Combining various schools of magic to create and cause things that most would consider just plain idiotic, usually using components that make very little sense.

'''Pelly Dhevess, Bearer of the puzzlecurse''': A man who first arrived at the guild looking for a curse. Boy did he find some. Currently afflicted with a magnificently crafted magical puzzlebox that makes other curses permanent, Pel Hot, now Pelly, is a student and researcher of curses and transformation spells.

Current status: Loitering in the archives trying to solve puzzles.

Main M.O.: Spreading the misery with polymorph.
