Wang? - Super Buu - 06-04-2006
Now, I know we?ve already got quite a few guilds, but hear me out. I think this one is quite unique. If you've never heard of WANG, then you might want to read KB's Veni Vidi Vici. Or alternately, just take a look at the description below.
The Wizarding Alliance for a New Galaxy (or WANG) are, in short, a guild of magically-gifted individuals, led by a trio of elderly wizards, all of whom have equal say in decision-making. There are multiple voices within the council, all of whom want to take WANG in different directions, and as such, making any official decision is usually a very gruelling affair. Until recently, the guild was exclusively for magically-able individuals, based on tradition, but after much debate they are now allowing non-magical members to join, in order to make up for their obvious lack of muscle.
The Council
The council is comprised of three ?elders?, all of whom have different ideas, but who share power. The trio maintain a farce of polite composure in public, but it is common knowledge that they all hate other?s guts.
Bibidi
A small, squat, green-skinned wizard, Bibidi is well-known for his short temper and powers of persuasion. He is extremely cunning and ambitious, and would like nothing more than to take over WANG for himself. His powers of manipulation come across most prevalently in his ability to take over minds, amplifying the power of the individual at the cost of their free will. He despises the age-old traditions of WANG which Lunos covets so much.
Lunos
Perhaps the wisest of the three elders, Lunos could at first be mistaken for a corpse. His ragged beard trails down past his knees, and his wrinkled eyelids are almost perpetually closed. Despite his aged appearance, he remains an extremely competent wizard, capable of conjuring up natural disasters if he ever wanted to. His main goal is to keep the old traditions of WANG alive - to use magic strictly for good, to benefit the galaxy as a whole.
Puldantrand
A morbidly obese, toad-like creature who contributes little to the council. Born into a rich family, Puldantrand has exercised his great wealth and influence to get into a position of even greater power. He loves fine wine, good food, and social gatherings. Despite being an elder of WANG, he cannot use any magic, and as such tends to act as an overseer to the non-magical side of things.
History
The alliance has been about for longer than most can remember, sending representatives out to many large events across the galaxy and aiding where magic can sometimes be necessary. Many wizards go to the guild in order to hone their abilities and expand their knowledge, whereas others go there to get magical solutions to everyday problems.
Joining
Those wanting to help the guild must apply at the main building on planet (yet to be decided). Usually following a quick physical examination, potential members will be sent off to perform their first, small task.
That's just the basic description. If by some far-out chance it gets accepted, then me and KB could add more about Hiring, Ranks and stuff.
Any comments about good/bad are appreciated.

No spamming in the QSU, Majin Buu.
*waits for someone to jump in begging me for an explanation as to why I didn't chide Fuz*
Wang? - Burter Jr - 06-04-2006
No it wasn't. It contributed nothing new to the topic. Stop arguing.
Wang? - Super Buu - 06-04-2006
Let's bring it back to the topic. Do we like WANG, or what?
Wang? - Belle Hibiki - 06-04-2006
Bibidi did create Super Buu and Kid Buu (Kibbles first, Supes second), but he obviously didn't obliterate WANG, or else it wouldn't exist for Veni Vidi Vici.
Bibidi was only able to get away with making a magical creation because he was using an official contest/duel as cover (see VVV for some details), but any overt moves would've brought the guild swiftly down on his short, bulbous head.
So no, WANG is still there.
Wang? - Super Buu - 06-04-2006
Yeah. I haven't written out all the details in my Personal Saga yet, but SB's real purpose was to be the general of Bibidi's majin army. However, people would look at him creating this awesome beast and be like "d00d that l00ks like galactic domination plan 2 me!11". So, knowing this would happen, he challenged the Vee brothers to a magical 'contest' of sorts, to see who could create the best monster. But, as Kibbles said, that was just a cover story. Kid Buu was the 'test' Buu, regarded by Bibidi as a failure due to his runted form and inability to talk. Super was the 'final product'.
As said in the description, Bibidi really is a sly bastard
But that's just Buu's relation to WANG. Most likely I myself wouldn't join, due to SB hating Bibidi's guts.

The Buus do not have to, in fact probably shouldn't, strictly follow the histories laid out in the show.
MB, if you're interested, I'm sure SB and I could work you into the little mini-history that we have going here, or you can play MB off as someone completely unrelated.
Wang? - Dr. Cringle - 06-04-2006
The idea is quite good SB. ^_^
I think the guild would be an interesting idea, magic has played a part in the DBZ series, just as much as technology and alieans.
Kudos for the unique idea SB.
P.S.: I do think you should come up with a new title though, it's certainly comical, but would the other guilds take 'WANG' seriously if thats what it's called?
Wang? - Super Buu - 06-04-2006
You have to remember that it's run by a bunch of eccentric old wizards who wouldn't necessarily realise the pun.

In any case, it's a good idea. It would be awesome if it got accepted.

Any mods willing to comment on whether they like WANG or not?
Wang? - Burter Jr - 06-05-2006
I don't like it. I don't really have a legit reason, it just doesn't sit well with me. It's a matter of personal opinion

Yeah, actually, exactly what he said. 100%
Wang? - Super Buu - 06-05-2006
Anything you dislike in particular, or just think there are already enough guilds? Just out of interest.
I think WANG feels pretty good, on the whole. We'll probably be continuing it IC even if it doesn't become an official guild
Edit to Bujin: Aye, it won't be for teaching characters magic, they'll just be working for a bunch of wizards who are too decrepit to do it themselves. Doing tasks like escorting council members, collecting rare ingredients from inhospitable planets (with a Rebreather) etc.
