A few notes on how the some of the Guilds have changed, if any. Mainly it's race of the leaders.

Judge Azor the first, as well as Razia of the Boros Legion: both Alicorns.

Szadek of House Dimir now a Changeling. It makes too much sense.

Rakdos the Defiler, bringer of chaos? Draconequus.

Borborygmos, now Minotaur.

The Choros of the Conclave is unchanged, still a hive mind of assorted ponies.

Same as the Ghost Council of Orzhov and Svogthos, who is still an immortal zombie head.

The Izzets here should be happy to know that absolutely nothing changed. Still a Dragon. Still the biggest brain on the planet.

The Simic, who I can find no immortals for, I'm still working on, though not so much as nobody is playing a Simic yet.

For anyone who's OC is going to be with Selesnya Conclave here is a list of some of their locals and philosophy.

The Simic combine don't need 'immortals' in the natural sense they can transfer the entire essence of a person into another premade body with the use of cytoplast if they want.

Also you can go people can go to the wiki which has links to stories and lore on the guilds at the bottom of their respective pages.

Well. That's done. Door's open, folks. Enjoy the party.

What are you saying here? Did you make the thread?

Now, now...this seems interesting. Wouldn't mind if I jump in? I would play Simic too!

Also Kirby - would you mind having established friendship with your character? After all being from diffrent guilds doesn't mean that they have to gouge their eyes right?

Go right ahead!

Also, for everyone, I can only do so much with an iPhone and a lunch break. Post slow. I love you all but wow I need a full keyboard and the F5 button. :P

Name: Norma Gene

Sex: Female

Age: Mare

Appearance: Turquoise coat with lime green speckles, jet black unkempt mane and tail, pinkish-red slit eyes, ears look mangled; obviously has had experimentation done to her. Wears an elegant necklace with emeralds and sapphires.

NormaGene.jpg

Species: Unicorn

Physique: Slightly pudgy, but not fat. Doesn’t get out of the lab much.

Cutie Mark: DNA Helix

Origin/Residence: Ravnica

Occupation: Caregiver to patients and specimens at Novijen.

Motivation: Trying to keep the goings-on at Novijen at a humane level while still supporting the Simic credo of advancement and evolution.

Likes: Animals and reading books. There is little emotion in the Simic Combine, she fills the gaps with fiction. She often rescues failed experiments who survive and cares for them in her home.

Dislikes: Seeing ponies and animals abused or mistreated during experimentation. She hates the cold-heartedness of the members of her guild.

Flaws: Many physical flaws. Some of her guildmates have discovered her empathy towards the creatures they work on and word is getting around that she is weak.

Personality: Soft-spoken and caring. She tries to stay out of the way; she can do the most good if nobody is paying attention to her. She helps anyone who asks.

Character summary: Norma Gene’s parents are both members of the Izzet Guild. She grew up surrounded by inventions and her parents constantly tinkering with things. She could never find the passion in studying inanimate objects though and instead chose the study of living things. She tested her way into the Simic Combine, which also meant being experimented on as initiation into the guild. Thankfully her first experiment was very minor and successful.

She started out in Novijen as an assistant researcher, examining ponies and other creatures in the lab that were currently being experimented on and noting their progresss. After a few weeks, she could no longer be passive about the ones who were suffering as a result. She asked her superiors if she could instead be a caregiver, feeding and cleaning up after them. It is an unglamorous job that the less intelligent ponies were forced into, so they were happy to oblige her request, however odd it seemed to them.

She started secretly giving them pain medications and would sometimes sneak some cytoplasts onto the truly unfortunate. At the end of a clinical trial, the failed experiments were usually either put out of their misery or released to wherever they came from, but she started taking one here and there home with her, especially smaller animals, but never ponies. She still doesn’t have the heart to face a fellow pony that so much harm was done to.

She still absolutely supports the betterment of species through science, but she also whole-heartedly believes it can be done in gentler, responsible ways.

And another one.

Name: Forest Touch

Sex: Male

Age: Stallion

Appearance: Olive body with long yellow mane. His tail is isn't pony like anymore, as his genes was spliced with that of the basilisk and it's now similar to lizard. Eyes are golden and pupils are slits. Forest also posses spikes on his back and small one on front of each hoof - this spikes contains powerful venom that doubles as disinfectant. His ears are very long for the pony. He also gave himself potent regeneration from a troll.

Species: Unicorn

Physique: Sound mind needs sound body! He goes out a lot as he prefers a field research over lab ones. As a result he is pretty athletic for a brainy type.

Cutie Mark: Curled squirrel. Since joining Simic Combinate squirrel fur turned blue.

Origin/Residence: Ravnica

Occupation: Master breeder and field researcher. After specimens pass initial lab tests, it's his job to watch how they fare against outside world conditions.

Motivation: Establishing stable food chain made of Simic creations. Fully understanding the nature. His vision of Combinate is necessary intervention instead of forced improvement. Because of this, he likes to improve living creatures but not for the sake of it but to help them.

Likes: Reading. Making field notes. Playing with his "pets". Hanging out in bars and cantinas.

Flaws: Gloats a lot. Also he tends to get lost in his thoughts when he is needed HERE AND NOW. Holds a grudges for a loooong time. Hurting his creations is pressing his Berserk Button.

Personality: Analytical. Forest Touch enjoys intellectual debates very much. He develops strong...affection tho those who manage to amuse him. Touch also takes a great pride in his creations. While he doesn't enjoy inflicting pain on anypony, and avoids it as much as he can, he also know that you sometimes need to be cruel to teach them. Cruel to be kind. He helps those who ask, often free off charge for he realizes that in the long run it's good for the food and social chains. On the other hoof he prefers others to not mix into his own problems unasked.

Character summary: Born as the guildless he initially joined Selesyna. He worked very well there but he was...extremely uncomfortable with the hive mind concept. What if the Great Nature mind will be wrong? After all evolution had many dead ends in the past, so it proved that it wasn't infallible. He defected after some time and joined Simic. He's knowledge of some Selesyna secrets were very well welcomed in the Combinate. Forest refused to let be experimented on by other during initiation. Instead he did splicing himself with witness no less. He chose basilisk for splicing his genes - something that nopony have managed to do before. Forest however knew how to neutralize creature toxins for the time of the process - thanks of his experience with the Conclave. He later added troll regeneration to the mix. This show off skill impressed the assembled biomancers very much.

Forest Touch soon became one of Top 20 minds off the Simic. He refused to work with cytoplasms deeming them "Unnecessary" and chose the career of breeder. His crowning achievement is creation of Simic Sky Swallower. Touch kept one for himself naming him Taffy (don't ask). Recently he was asked to observe Norma Gene - some trouble making caregiver.
