Warning Excessive drama ahead, not to mention a notable distaste for n00bs and improper labeling. Take note that newbies are perfectly acceptable human beings. If the, like, two pages of text here discourage you, just CTRL+F the words "grades" and "rules".
Welcome, one and all, to a world, nay, to many worlds. Many, indeed, and each filled with a hundred, hundred themes.
Role-plays are complicated, fickle things. A bit too time-consuming, and interest is lost, yet too little thought and no one will join in the first place.
Role-players are no better. Some claim a status beyond their skills, and other downplay their abilities, feeling crossed when they meet others who do not reach their lofty standards. Once, long ago, the ratings of Semi-lit, Literate and Advanced had meanings, but now? None.
That, my dears, is where Koiji Romansu comes in. We shall stand this abomination no longer!
But, let us make this exclamation more personal. Recount, my dear, how often you have strolled through the Barton forums and Sub forums, looking for a role-play, anything, just something to take your mind off the day-to-day life you lead and let you traipse about in the realm of your wildest fantasy? And yet, more often still have you not been assaulted with overused topics run by people no more capable of typing a full paragraph than the common household pets (Birds excluded, as they seem to have typing parrots now...XD)?
Does it not make you quiver in fear for the future of Gaia, this vicious disregard for normal human standards?
Yeah. Us too.
And yet, the shining light often seems to be the idea of creating your own game, let others find it. Search not for that rare diamond in the rough, but rather fashion your own gemstone and continue onwards from there!
Sounds like a helluva plan. Right up until those one-sentence wonders start popping up like mushrooms. A fitting analogy, some would say.
So, after having tried searching? Failure. Having tried creation? Failed. The most desperate of us may even have tried removing ourselves from Gaia altogether, only to find that it's too damn addictive (Gaia has got to be a drug. You know we're right).
What is there to do, then, but slink away into the night, burry oneself in cheesy flash videos and hope that you can beat back this boredom without resorting to such vicious things as homework or chores?
Okay, this is where Koiji Romansu actually comes in
Koiji Romansu is a guild, which should be rather obvious. But it is not any guild, it is a role-play guild. However, do not be discouraged! We are different from other guilds! True, we boast the same friendly atmosphere and similar welcomes for new members, but we are, most assuredly, not your average guild.
Created by a group of Gaians dedicated to making the Role-playing world a better place for all, fed up with all the crap hovering about the forums today, we strive like no other to be faster, stronger, better than our silly competitors! With every subject, theme and role-play idea humanly possible all intertwined with the subtle threads of the romance in our name, who wouldn't want to join. Also, we have cookies, but that is for another time.

Our true difference, however, comes from SexxieDanka02. Through some sort of crazy divine inspiration, she made this entire thing possible! Most importantly, however, she made the levels system possible.
What are levels? Well, I'm glad you asked. Danka, being a connoisseur of the Schools sub forum, modeled them directly after the common American high school. BUT, you will have to go take a look inside the IDs thread in the guild to find information on our Grade system. <3
But I bet you're wondering how to ID a persons level, ne? Well, that's where our resident graphics Senior comes in. Day in and day out she has worked hard to provide you all with... ID Cards! (Also, every other buggering graphic in this guild). There's a thread in the main forum where you can get yours today! Oh yeah!

Rules!
We all know 'em, we all hate 'em, and we all have 'em, those vicious little creatures known as rules. Here are ours!
1) You will respect your Seniors. They are exceptionally more powerful than you, and if you piss them off, they will not hesitate to use that power!
2) Illy is your god. You will worship accordingly. His favorite offerings include activity in the guild and new role-plays.
3) Koiji Romansu (Translation: Romantic Romance. Cheesy, ne?) specializes in Romance RPs. Every RP in here must allow for romance, though the game need not center around it.
4) Mmm, nope, that's about it. Call this a place holding rule. Oh, and don't forget to type 'Blue Cherry' in your application. And if you're sending your request via email, then please send it to Illicit Romance.
5) Oh yeah, when you apply to this guild simply type a role-play style post. All we ask is that you are literate! Your request will be denied if you are anything less.
Now we won't limit you; do whatever you like, but for those of you demanding a prompt...

Prompt
"There is a reason you avoid dancing. Dancing attracts attention. Attention can be bad, or it can be good but when they are watching you, you can't ever be sure."
Yeah, it's not much, but run with it. If your application is over 2000 characters, simply PM it to Illicit Romance and he'll take it from there.
6) If your request in denied, then do not PM us asking why. Just wait until you think you've improved before submitting another request.
7.) We are an open minded guild. We allow het, yaoi, and yuri. We allow most anything else too, as long as it's not against the T.o.S. Really. We do mean anything. You'll see.
Now, we said that we are a literate role play guild. That means there is a minimum of two good paragraphs per post, meaning at least ten-twelve sentences. If we see a constant stream of one liners or one paragraph posts, we will refer you to our Literacy School subforum, which is now open. If you refuse to attend 'classes,' you will be banned from the guild. It may sound harsh, but it's true. We want to keep the environment as literate friendly as we can, so we'll do what we've got do.
And following this line of thought, we now have an official RP Forum moderator, Metanaito! Be respectful, or thee shall be smited by her awesome Senior-ness!
Oh, and semi-literate members will also be allowed into Koiji soon, but you will be notified if we feel you should attend the School for a while. Once you have finished 'classes,' you will be allowed to post in our role playing subforum. Every other forum than the role playing subforum is open to you, even if you are a student.
Affiliates!
...Wait...what? We have affiliates? Really? Huh. I never knew...
