Righto, S.O.A.R (Society Of Arcane Research) has been formed. Contacts are Arrow Flame or Jambalaya if anyone cares to have a go; just going to slap this one into the RP Roundtable.
Cheers!
Guess I might try to see if any of this fits Isaac, but I don't have a whole lot of time to do so. Like the idea though.
It's really not going to be a "you have to be there at least every day" sort of thing; it's something to pop in with now and again when you get a Wild Hair. Right now, everyone's a bit rp restricted at the mo with holidays, so I'm just trying to level up Netherwitch/Jam and get some prestige under my belt for the base.
Have a glance at the S.O.A.R entry and if you want a go, see me ingame sometime and I'll fling you an invite. Just working on the prestige for the base now at the moment, and biding time till the holidays are over.
So, can I assume that you could join the club without being in the SG? Because GhostSpy would like a membership card but he's a Militia member already. Artifacts are his speciality, and I'm quite fond of PvP myself. So this all sounds like a good idea.
It takes Chaos to move the world to Action.
ok, would like to point out that " The Hunters Guild" ie my RPSG is a Arcane/Magical supergroup as such, yes they may use a little in the way of technology but it is limited down to their communicators and a main datebase that they connect to, other than that they use magic, swords, bows, a few do hand to hand, and of course the other thing of the modern world, guns, but as i said this is limited to a few things and people.
Of course due to lack of interest mainly the group hasn't really got off the floor (so to speak) and i, myself, have used one character to build up the large part of the base. This group at this time however MAY be coming to an end with the present storyline "Seeress Revenge" the next part of their story leading on from Drade's rather long storyline "Darken Days".
If there is anything else i can help with, or if you wish more info, please contact me.

By all means, mate. There's a couple ways to work it, either as being an IC contact through MAGI and meet in secret somewhere to exchange information or we can get you into the base in Team. The main thing we're looking to do is create a SG which works with other SGs, not just an insular group, so having a member's card would be most useful, and we'll try and figure out how to get people into the Supergroup base for anything big planned.
Sorry to hear the SG hasn't caught on, Sha'dower. I think it's a matter of timing and crowing around in order to get the word out there. You're welcome to come over with our lot, though if you've put so much work into a base on your own (yikes!), I'd understand if not. We're working on our own base at the mo, but not a bad start for only getting sorted in the past 24 hours, got a power source or two going and two rooms, Arc has put a load of work into the place and it's going well.
Right, in any event, things are mostly about setting up now and trying to get the base up to scratch - with the holidays as they are and all the great events, we're playing things low key, but expect there to be some storyline with this lot in January.
There is a magic/occult roleplaying SG in existence, it's just that we're a secret society and....Damn! Forget I said anything!

Igor, prepare the 'guest' chamber. I want Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" playing in there on a loop until this Romanov chap takes the hint.

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.
EDIT!: Looking to apply an ice/ice tanker I've used several times in different incarnations. I have literally only just re-made him because this idea sounded too fun to pass up. His name's Asmodaeus. If he's too low, I understand, but I'm going to be working pretty furiously to level him at the moment.
I'll try to get in touch asap, if you want to get in touch first I can be contacted on @Cacophony or, obviously, on these boards. 
Friends are just enemies that haven't betrayed you yet.
I'm always looking to get Lady S involved in more RP, and she doesn't currently have a supergroup, so count me in!
Excellent, I don't know if I'll be in tonight, but I shall be tomorrow, but I'm sure Arrow Flame will be in. Again, don't worry about levels, this is about a larf!
Cheers.
This is a pretty cool idea, I've been looking to create more magic themed characters!
Are new characters OK? I will look at creating an arcane hero...
(I take it this is union?)
Hmmm, such is a good point.
It IS union right? If not, meh, I'll just remake. (Please be union. )
Friends are just enemies that haven't betrayed you yet.
It's union and you wouldn't be the only ones with new characters 
It's pretty safe to assume that anything on these boards is based in Union. Defiant is RP Deficient.

It is indeed Union.
If you want an invite, send a tell. @Havoc fang and whatnot.
I apologise in advance...rl currently sucks in a big way and I haven't been on, I'll do what I can to get on this weekend.
Okay, I shall make a character for this and send you a /t havoc!
Doctor Destiny would be interested in this too

Invited a member yesterday, so hurrah there, I will once again be leaving for a few days on Monday, so havok is the main contact. After the holidays expect some storylines to come into effect. Cheers!
Ooog. Typical.
The day AFTER I make my character I get a nasty case of the flu (The full deal too, world spinning, no appetite, everything). Kind of puts a downer on your life in general. SO, I shall endeavour to get in touch forthwith.

Sounds very interesting. However Im happy that Lady Arete is now in the NHU. She is a sorc... enchantress, wizardlike spellcaster 
Storywise she has been in the city a few years before the rikti war, but she will have searched for items and knowledge through many magical contacts. If at all possible, could perhaps be contacted for help, info (secret membership in the magical order) etc, through m.a.g.i.
Not playing though until closer to new year.. (on a comp without coh)

Okay I am now back to the computer, but I have a LOT of Xmas aftermath to deal with (mostly in the shape of my house being a total disaster area). I have a LOT of rp I need to get sorted, and so I'll be doing that hopefully this weekend and can start the storylines going from there.
Cheers
This was discussed at one point on the Militia site and I'll apologise now if I'm stealing anyone's thunder, but now I've got my wee scrapper and an idea brewing to awaken her "ka", I still haven't found a purely arcane supergroup. Thus, I've decided to get one going in the works, with a few twists.
Firstly, the arcane society may or may not be a supergroup. Maybe you're quite happy with your guild but you'd like to roleplay now and again without having to create a new character. Maybe you've got an alt or two which would make a fit but you can't play them every day. Perfectly cool - we can do this as a coalition, as a group that meets maybe twice a week for rp somewhere to go after some baddies and run a few missions or a Taskforce - or my next idea, which I'm about to get to.
PvP - I am a total PvP n00b. I readily admit I am utterly [censored] at it and running around zapping people doesn't strike me as much of a huge challenge (I used to do re-enactment in real life and so for me, fighting is about going toe to toe and beating the stuffing out of your opponent till one of you drops, none of this pogo-stick rubbish! But I digress...). However the one thing I DO think would be useful is fighting real players now and again in order to regain certain artifacts. Maybe I'm in the wrong places, or maybe I'm still pretty new to the game, but it's a rare thing to see a hero outfit and a villain outfit go toe to toe for the benefit of good - or evil, as the case may be. So one thing I would certainly like to see is storylines which involve this society having to try to get to artifacts before the baddies get them, or wresting artifacts out of baddies' hands - and maybe getting quite spanked in the process. So if you're a bit of a PvP fan as well as a roleplayer, you are more than welcome to come along and put some ideas together and bring some villains as well.
Bring as much character development as you can dream up. At this point I'm probably going to be running two different toons who will be the same character (as I'm still looking for an excuse to run a dark defender). I liked Netherwitch but I had no joy trying to solo her, so bringing her out now and again through arpee would be good.
Now there are some names from the RP Roundtable which I will PM on about for this - got my eye on a few villains who would be cool to go up against - and also some players who might potentially want to get in on this, but, I figured I'd flesh the idea out a bit more and see what the interest is.
So, quick and dirty recap:
1) Characters should have magic origins. Level isn't so important.
2) Playtimes will be discussed, but as these will more than likely be alts, we'll run these as "alt nights" so you can be as involved as you like without having to feel like you need your character all the time.
3)PvP will happen now and again, but it will be optional. However since I am totally naff at PvP I'd like someone with a lot more experience than me to handle that sort of thing so I don't run the risk of utterly botching it. So if you want to flex your PvP ...erm...muscle...wink wink nudge nudge...by all means, step up.
4) Right now, this is all in the idea stage, and I will be going off yet AGAIN for more holiday next Sunday, and will be gone for a few days, so this may not see the light of day until January when people have returned from various do's and the hangovers are done. However, if there is an interest, pencil your name in and we'll try and figure out how to make this happen.
