Author's Note: Hiya, guys! Here's the first chapter! It's simply giving you a run down on the town, the guild and the people who are in it (the guild). I'll be starting with my oc's. Two mages will be added later for sure, as well as anyone who requests their oc's to be recruited. Keep an eye out for your characters, and don't forget to leave a review!

Also, I'll be using American units of height for this, such as inches and feet because I'm too lazy to convert all that crap in to centimeters and shit. So, I'm sorry if you're British/the rest of the world (whyyy America? Why must we be different?) and everything's in the American Standard System (why can't we use the metric system? or Celsius?!). I'll shut up now, sorry…

Chapter One

The town of Iris was a shore town, situated on the banks of Lake Daisy (which was called that because it was roughly the shape of a daisy). The town's guild, Lunar Haven, had a building that was set a little out side of the main hub of activities, on a peninsula.

The building wasn't overly large, for Lunar Haven wasn't a very big guild, but it stood two stories tall and a basement and attic too boot. Off to the left and a bit behind the main building, down a winding concrete path into the woods, were the girl's dorms, nestled among the pine trees. The men's dorm, was a little farther off, more secluded from both town and guild because of the occasional fire, explosion or stampede of emus (long story, we'll get to it later) that tended to destroy it.

Lunar Haven had a whole heap of fun-loving, but mostly crowd-hating (another reason the guild was located outside the town) mages.

The most mentionable of these mages, would be their light-hearted but responsible master, 45-year-old Torack Patron, Re-Equip and Archive Mage. Torack wasn't particularly tall, he stood about 5 feet and 10 inches, including his wildly spiky green hair. He had pale skin and narrow green eyes. He liked to insist that he was too old to run a guild (even though he wasn't really), and needed to retire, locking himself in his office, only to be cajoled out in less than twenty minutes later, by his niece, Malainy.

Malainy was another mentionable person in this guild. She was, as said earlier, niece of Lunar Haven's master and daughter of the late Marina Patron Krystal and Alfonse Krystal. Malainy Krystal was usually called Mal. She was 17 years old, and 5 feet, 5 inches tall. She had short, pale silver hair that reached to her jaw and contrasted nicely with her tan skin (which she inherited from her father's side of the family) and pale, glass green eyes. Her guild mark, colored in a pale purple and green, was situated on her abdomen, just above her belly button. Mal was a Glass Make Mage, a very skilled one at that. Her dream was to become S-Class, and maybe even guild master. She was sarcastic, snarky and quick-witted. She tended to be quiet at first, but fun-loving, talkative and just a bit aggressive once you got to know her. Her closest friends were the Card Mage Maverick and the Nephilim Axel.

Next on the list of mentionable people, was Maverick Clonmel, an 18-year-old Card Mage that did his best to live up to his name, and be above and beyond everyone else. He was tall and athletic, with dark purple hair and mischievous grey eyes. His silver guild mark was located on the left side of his neck. Maverick was best of friends with Mal and Axel (whom I shall tell you about in a bit), and maybe felt a bit more that friendship towards a certain silver haired Glass Make Mage, not that he'd ever admit it. Maverick was daring and business-savvy, he often worked in the shops around town, giving advice to the managers on how to make better profits. Although that could also be because he liked to watch competing businesses go crazy… Plus, they paid him! Maverick was the star card player at the guild, and also a skilled gambler. He enjoyed making and placing bets, he loved to see the looks of defeat come over his opponent's faces when he kicked their butts in cards. Maverick didn't have any great dreams for the future nor did he have many regrets in the past, preferring to live in the here and now.

Next was Axel Julian Luryian. He was 18 years of age, and was a Nephilim, part angel, part human. Axel was dark-haired and tan-skinned. He was the tallest in the guild, at 6 feet and 7 inches, a good 5 inches above even the tallest of his comrades (it was the angel blood in his veins), luckily, he was used to being tall, and was pleasantly graceful for someone of his size. He had blue-black hair that stuck up stubbornly in the back and flopped annoyingly over his left eye. His eyes were a pale violet color that shifted from a deep, almost black plum when he was angry, and a twinkling indigo when he was happy. His golden guild mark was placed on his left shoulder. Axel had an easy smile and a high level of patience, both good things when dealing with two hotheads like Maverick and Mal. He was, without a doubt, the voice of reason in that team, loyal, level-headed and clever.

Another guild member worth mentioning was 20-year-old Raid Sahara. He was a Sand Mage, with caramel-toned skin and wavy, chin length dark brown hair. Raid had friendly golden eyes and a gap between his two front teeth. His pale gold guild mark was on his right pectoral muscle. He was blunt, and a bit tactless, but had a good heart. He was a bit slow to get jokes, but not stupid, he was probably busy making up new spells to use. Raid was a bit of a tsundere when it came to love, but he was sweet and kind and thoughtful. He always did his best to please others, and therefore made a good companion. He was rarely seen without his teammates, Shawn, Echo, Alyannie and Danny. He was a member of Team RockStorm.

Shawn Dorani was Raid's younger cousin, a green eyed and tousle-haired 19-year-old Summoner Mage. His green guild mark was located on his left ankle. Shawn was a bit of a playboy, using his good looks and easy smile to get girls. He wasn't a jerk though, he loved to flirt, but he only had eyes for one girl (who that is shall be revealed later). Shawn loved to sing. Luckily, he had a beautiful voice. The voice of an angel, Echo would say quietly, prompting light-hearted teasing from someone like Mal. Voice of an angel or not, the blue-haired Shawn to Raid, Shawn, Alyannie and Dan. She was 18 years old, with pale skin and champagne colored eyes. Her right eye had a vicious scar over it, blinding it, from some long ago incident. Echo had light blonde, slightly curly hair that reached her shoulders. Her pale gold guild mark was located between her shoulder blades. Echo was calm and gentle, often described as the guild's mother. Her relaxing presence brought her many friends, especially those with darker pasts. Echo had Empathy Magic, a rare and hard-to-learn magic. She was a good addition to Lunar Haven and Team RockStorm.

Alyannie Lilian Crowther, or Lily, was Echo's best friend. The blonde, hazel-eyed 19-year-old girl was born blind, but was as capable as any sighted person. She was energetic, bashful, and loved candy above all else. Her spruce brown guild mark was located between her shoulder blades. She was also a member of Team RockStorm. She was an Earth Mage

Dan was the fifth and last member of Team RockStorm. He was a strict, but cheerful young man with light red hair, magenta eyes and light tan skin. His blue guild mark was located on his left shoulder. Danny, as most called him, had had a hard past, but he did his best to push it aside for the good of the guild. He was a Re-Equip mage who often sought help with Torack.

Another in the guild was Blight, a 19 year old Green Dominance Mage. She was the leader and creator of Team Emerald Arrow. Her dull green hair reached to her thighs and drew attention to her pinkish-colored eyes. Her cyan guild mark was stamped on the right side of her collar bone. Blight was calm and intelligent, as well as honest and open-minded, a good leader for her team.

Another member of Team Emerald Arrow was Callie May, a 21-year-old Bow Mage. The blonde haired and green-eyed girl had Elven blood running through her veins, it was apparent in her pointy ears and talent for archery. Callie was a bit of a closet pervert, tending to blurt out her dirty thoughts, but overall was a kind and genuine person.

The last member of Team Emerald Arrow was Emerald Elusyium, an 18-year-old Arcanism Mage, who was usually called Emer by his friends, had messy, short, sky blue hair and slanted, slit-pupiled red eyes. He was fair skinned and his white Lunar Haven mark was situated on his left shoulder. Emer always had a pair of rectangle-rimmed spectacles perched on his nose. He was a very strict individual, often criticizing the bad behavior of his friends, not meaning to be rude, of course, just concerned for their well-being. Despite his somewhat prudish attitude, Emer was generally well-liked for his loyalty and level-headedness.

The last team in Lunar Haven would be the Blood King Clan, run by the 20-year-old Matthew Jacobs, called Matt or Matty by most. Matt was 5 feet and 9 inches tall, with spiky bright red hair pulled back in a pony-tail. He had pale skin and two triangular red tattoos beneath his eyes. Matt was calm and laid-back, but easily bored, causing him to become a prankster. Even though his magic was Blood Manipulation Magic, often-times, people wondered if he really was the leader of the Blood King Clan… He wasn't. That would be Jackie.

Jacqueline Ko, AKA Jackie, was the real leader of the Blood King Clan, and, possibly, the only sane one there. Jackie was 18 years old, with black hair that faded to brown at the tips, wine red eyes, and pale brown skin. Her baby blue guild mark was located on her lower right thigh. Her magic was Solomon Key Takeover. Jackie was easy-going and nonchalant, but clever and determined as well.

Another member of the Blood King Clan was 19-year-old Veronica Daily, a Mind Magic and Electromagnetic Infusion Magic user. Veronica was mute, but she didn't let that stop her, using her Mind Magic to telepathically communicate with others. She was friendly and a bit klutzy, and tended to get in to fights, but she was well-liked regardless. Her guild mark was in silver on the right side of her waist.

The last member of the Blood Clan King was 17-year-old Kasashi, or Kashi, Amayara. Kashi was kind of the baby of the guild, and really looked up to Matty. He had black hair and forest green eyes and his black guild mark was located on his right pectoral muscle. At the guild, Kashi tended to be a little childish and cocky, but when on a mission, he was serious and focused. He and Matty got in to many shenanigans, often times with Maverick, Mal, and Shawn in tow.

This guild had a lot going for them. They didn't desire to be the strongest, or the smartest. They focused on one thing, helping those who needed it, and beating the shit out of bullies. It was a simple existence, and they loved it. On the weekends, in the summer, the whole guild would traipse down to the beach for hours of fun and training. They were close knit, besides a few rivalries, but they were a family, and families don't always get along.

Little did they know that their little guild would have a bigger role to play in the future than they ever thought possible.

A/N: WHEW! First chapter is finally done! Sorry it took me so long, I was up at the lake and you can't seriously be expecting me to think about fanfiction when I'm wiping out on water skis or being thrown from a tube! Actually, that's a lie, this story was nearly constantly on my mind, but I had no way to actually type it up due to no internet and no computer. Alas! But I had fun, and I got an awful sunburn (I should really learn to put on sunscreen BEFORE my shoulders and nose start stinging, not after). Ah, well. Don't forget to leave a review!
