    Aww... I missed one glyph. I will fix it eventually, but right now you can say that it will be death themed. It even have 4.

    I fail to see what is so gamebreaking about that card...The summon can still be countered so the first effect means nothing. The 2nd effect is sorta broken though. But still nothing gamebreaking arena-wise.

    This contains most of what I know about most of the characters (the sections on Hyoku and Murasaki are a bit light) so it's a Lot of text. Have fun.

    I don't have much overall lore, since I haven't specifically been thinking about that. Just have character interactions and character back-story for the most part.

    The Elemancers are essentially a mercenary company, although they technically hold allegiance to their country of residence, and will lend their aid in the case of a foreign invasion on the understanding that the details of payment will be worked out afterwards.

    Holy Elemancer, Hyoku
    Hyoku is in a kind of "Generic Protagonist" role, with the rest of the cast starting to develop around him. I'm hoping that he'll develop without my looking at him, but he's probably just a shallow character. He learned how to fight using his magic before he learned the arts relating to constructing Golementals.

    Elemancer of Black Lightning, Murasaki
    Murasaki is Hyoku's sister. He spent a story arc or so trying to convince her to stop her involvement with something shady. Not quite sure what. She's a bit over protective of him, and ended up getting into something bad with the intention of shielding him from it. She's actually a very real combat threat without the use of Golementals, unlike most of the other young Elemancers. She's also the one who taught Hyoku to fight.

    Butterfly Elemancer, Rei
    Rei is the main person who's been supporting Hyoku since he joined the Elemancers. She's a very cynical person, and a natural trickster. The kind of person who will lie and cheat with nothing to gain, simply for the amusement. This goes double if the person she's tricking doesn't doubt her in the slightest. She's been feigning excessive innocence and purity in an attempt to make Hyoku fall for her (with moderate success) with every intention of dropping the act and shoving the fact that she's been tricking him in his face the moment he starts to show an actual interest in pursuing a relationship with her. Rei was also good friends with Murasaki up to the point that she revealed her intentions with regards to Hyoku. Now they're on kind of bad terms, although after a long argument Murasaki agreed not to interfere out of respect both for her friendship with Rei and for Hyoku's right to choose who he associated with.

    Crystal Elemancer, Matsuda
    Matsuda came from a poor family. When they discovered his ability to synthesize crystal from natural energy, his parents put a lot of pressure on him to use his power to support the family. At first the crystals he made were small and full of impurities, but through rigorous practice he was able to reduce the impurities and increase the size. Soon enough, he was drawing a fairly substantial income from creating crystals. However, the regional government discovered that the crystals were synthetic, and marketing goods created through magic is illegal. All of the family's wealth was confiscated by the government, and his parents were imprisoned. He was forcefully employed by the government, but managed to escape, leaving behind only a letter stating that he would be back with sufficient wealth to buy pardons for his parents. Seeing a lot of money to be made in the military applications of magic, he joined the Elemancers. When he joined, he made a promise to himself that he would be the strongest recruit the Elemancers had ever seen, and that he would make it look easy, never letting them know how hard he really worked. He was well on his way to this goal until Hyoku joined. All logic dictated that Matsuda should be the stronger of the two, whether it be raw power, tactics, or sheer time spent training. And yet, somehow Hyoku would always come out ahead. As a result of this, Matsuda has been spending even more of his time training and the stress associated with that is pushing him to the limits of his ability to maintain a calm exterior, especially as his attempts to look better than Hyoku become more and more desperate, and still amount to nothing.

    Elemancer Lab Technician, Hikari
    Hikari has a rare talent for magic: She has great affinity with every element. While most elementalists have an affinity for only one or, on occasion, two elements, Hikari can use all of them, and use them all well. Hikari has always believed that it was possible for everyone to work together and live in harmony with each other. At an early age, she was considered by some to have the potential to be one of the strongest Light mages of all time. However, her parents were killed by brigands, and she was sold into slavery. One might expect that this would shake her belief in the ability of everyone to work together, but instead it only seemed to strengthen her beliefs. After she was found and taken in by the Elemancers (they purchased her legally, then granted her her freedom in exchange for her working for them) she declared her intent to study all forms of magic equally to better understand what was necessary for them all to work together for the greater good. It's unclear how much she truly believes what she is saying, and how much she's just desperately trying to stop her world view from coming crashing down on her head. Either way, while she has refused to set foot on the battle field, her ability to precisely control large quantities of energy of any element has made her invaluable to the Elemancer's magical research, making many formerly impractical experiments suddenly plausible.

    Blazing Nova Elemancer, Tsubaki
    Tsubaki is around the same age as Hyoku (and by extention the rest of the characters listed thus far), but has been on active duty working for the Elemancers for the majority of her life. She tends to look down on Hyoku and Matsuda as foolish children who can't be depended on to act intelligently in combat situations. Similarly, after discovering Rei's tendency to tell lies for no reason, she treats Rei as a liability. She views Hikari's idealistic beliefs as the forced delusions of a child, and hates even needing to be exposed to that nonsense. Tsubaki and Murasaki share a mutual respect, but due to Murasaki spending much of her time with Hyoku and Rei, and Tsubaki not wanting to deal with either of them, Tsubaki tends not to interact with Murasaki much. While she would prefer to work alone, Tsubaki is too well trained to go against orders and act on her own if she's told to work with another of the young Elemancers.

    Guardian Elemancer, Tsubasa.
    Tsubasa is one of the older members of the Elemancers. Having retired from field work, she mainly serves as an adviser and recruiter. She was the one who recruited Hyoku, and who discovered and purchased Hikari. She is also Tsubaki's mother, although, due to putting her work first, the relationship between the two is strained. When major operations are conducted, Tsubasa uses her signature Wings of Light to oversee the battle, making minor tactical adjustments with the information she gains. If a situation goes from bad to worse, Tsubasa will make her presence known, and buy time for other Elemancers to escape with their lives.

    Sparking Elemancer, Ryu.
    Ryu was born with a strong power to use Fire magic, but without the ability to control it. After burning down a large portion of his village he was disowned by his family, exiled, and left for dead. With the assistance of a friend of his, he was able to survive until he met Tsubasa by chance. Recognizing his power, Tsubasa offered to take him in, and teach him how to control his powers. He has gained the ability to control part of his power, but the rest has been sealed away for his safety.

    Blizzard Elemancer, Erika.
    Erika was taken by slavers as a child. Convinced that her parents had sold her, she fell into despair and unleashed her ice magic at full force. The slavers and other slaves were all frozen to death. Shortly after she began living on her own, an old man asked her if she was alone. Without a second thought she left the area a frozen wasteland, and the man dead. Teaching herself both to survive on her own and to never trust anyone, Erika continued an empty life of simply living to the next day until she met someone else who had been betrayed by the world and had nowhere to go. A boy named Ryu. Exchanging vows to never abandon each other, the two of them continued their life of wandering, but it was no longer a solitary life. When Ryu told her that he was going to join the Elemancers, she saw this as a betrayal. Losing control of her powers, she froze her entire surroundings. Realizing that if it weren't for Ryu's fire magic saving him from the cold she would have just killed the only person she had ever cared about, she reluctantly agreed that they needed to learn to control their magic, and joined the Elemancers alongside him.

    Prismatic Elemancer, Makoto
    Makoto is one of the few Elemancers that has never seen death first hand. Possessing the rare ability to convert energy from one element to another, Makoto is one of the best Golemental craftsmen, able to create a Golemental of any combination of elements. However, unlike Hikari, Makoto can only control one element, Wind. As such, Makoto learned the ancient art of Formulaic Magic. Unlike most modern forms of magic, Formulaic Magic is reliant on the creation of runes which, in combination with words of power, can take in raw elemental energy and output a specific magical spell. While carrying the benefit of removing the need for the magic user to manipulate the power directly, runes are large and take a long time to craft. As such, combat styles utilizing Formulaic Magic have little versatility, and are easily predictable. In exchange for teaching Hikari how to use Formulaic Magic, Hikari now assists with creation of new types of Golementals, cutting down on a long and expensive prototyping phase characterized by the continuous rewriting of runes. Makoto gets along well with both Tsubasa and Tsubaki, and is often called on to mediate between the two.

    Minor edits to Erika's text to make pacing more clear.

    There is nothing game breaking in it, but I never said anything in it was game breaking. But since you cannot use right arguments I'm not going explain it to you.[DOUBLEPOST=1421552097][/DOUBLEPOST]
    I just love walls of texts. Time to dig in!

    1st you use "counter summon" argument. The forbidden, most irrelevant argument when it comes to making monsters. Summon of anything can be countered. You should talk about its effects when its already summoned.
    2nd you use argument, that is so stupid I'm surprised you didn't figured it out yet. "Arena-wise" look. Do I really need to explain this?

    So what you're saying is you want to judge customs based on how they would do in the real game right?

    Yeah, that's fine. It's entirely card lore, so there's no reason to read it if you aren't particularly interested in the back-story of the different characters my cards represent.

    Yes, because they all should be judged as if they were in real game. There is no point in discussing them not looking on the real game.[DOUBLEPOST=1421554931][/DOUBLEPOST]
    I like fact that instead of simply wiring short lore for archetype you decided to write about cards instead.

    True. But I can accept them as long as they don't give any unacceptable advantage in non-random.

    You know as long as they are not game breaking from view of real game nobody should even care about what you have to say in that matter.[DOUBLEPOST=1421603163][/DOUBLEPOST]

    Jaden's words echoed..
    "You have got to be kidding me... are you seriously comparing the real game to this? The real game is completely different from non-random.."
    There's a time and place for everything, but not here.
