Despite being Gaia's oldest town, Barton remains a bustling destination thanks to its important attractions, shops, and old world charm. Its more on a smaller scale compared to the other cities surrounding it not having the dense population or traffic issues common with bigger places, it only had a few roads for cars outside the Wall's forcing most to get around on foot the old fashioned way. This Town was more laid back and more Rural compared to the industrial machinations all around it having plenty of open space and room to farm crops in the fertile land. Barton was the hub of Gaia where most people start from moving onto other things later, but its impact since its creation and old world roots solidify it as a very important place on the northern continent of Gaia.
Though the vigilant guards and high walls surrounding the town have kept it safe, the surrounding areas are becoming increasingly dangerous. The town has little modern infrastructure and is known to use more magic than technology despite the fact that technology exists. The most prominent bit of technology is not even located within the city walls but outside of it at the Durem reclamation plant which supplies the city with its water via underground irrigation. At night the city is illuminated by glowing magical orbs located all throughout the city looking like torches of yellow illuminated light. People get around the city via beast's of burden and small vehicles on the roads outside the city. The city utilizes a cement road that makes travel easy but the gates are not meant to have car's or certain large vehicles to drive along the cobble stone roads within the walls. Gaia's main population center is known for its friendly people, quaint shops and the dedicated town guards who keep it clean and orderly. Citizenship is required to own property within Barton Town, when a foreigner enters through the Barton Town wall gates then they are given a visitor status and a keycard for identification. People living in Barton are taxed as they are in most places to support the Town's defense force and to keep the roads in good shape, however the cities government typically stays out of the lives of its citizens. The City utilizes gold as its currency like the other gaian settlements, however haggling is possible with other things of value within the commercial district. Generally people living in the city live in the middle class. There are few rich people but also few examples of extreme poverty. People in the city are generally considered to be friendly, amiable and welcoming to outsiders. Most of the cities population is human however, people of other species are numerous and welcomed. Unfortunately, this quiet community has been rattled by the arrival of the Animated.
The Animated have been cleansed from the land recently leaving only a few remnants, but they were just the first wave in a long line of destruction meant to follow.
- The Commercial District
This is the district with numerous shops. The shopping in Barton is amazing and there are many stores here with world renown. Some of these store's include Agatha's Jewelry shop which contain's some of the most beautiful gems in the world plucked from all around the region. Also another great store is the Barton Boutique run by Ian who is a prominent figure within the city, if only somewhat of an oddball. Also numerous bars are located in this area. These are often the places many adventures and jobs are posted, and serves as a starting point for adventurers.
- The Residential District
The residential district contains the living spaces for all of the cities occupants. Most homes in the city are very lavish and considerate of the limited space within the dense town. As such they are town homes that are built tall rather than wide, neatly settled together within neat straight rows that cover the entire district.
- The Gaming District
The Gaming district is the location of Barton's famous Colosseum. Here anyone may sign up and compete within the daily games. In these games two or more Gaian's fight in battles who's goal can be anything from death or dismemberment to a simple test of skill for the crowd with their votes and cheers to determine the victor. Viewers may place bets on who wins the fights. The winners win a certain amount of gold while the rest will go to the Colosseum and to the winning fighter. The gaming district also contains smaller gambling venues such as horse races and other oddball games of chance.
- The Civic District
Is the location of the underground entrance to the Subway station that can take riders to other Gaian settlements such as Durem and the Isle De Gambino. It also contains the other businesses and organizations within Barton Town, such as various guilds and the Barton Defense Force.
-The Industrial District
- The Royal District
Is located outside the Town itself called the Barton Estates and is populated by the Regal and Rich having alot of extravagant homes and mansions nestled around a Towering Castle in the middle.

[ These "Player" controlled characters are either residents of the area or prominent important or powerful figures worth mentioning. ]
Name: Taifu Takashi
Age: 28
Appearance: His appearance is that of a white male of seemingly Asian descent and dressed in a tattered outfit that seemed almost Japanese in style. Taifu has deep blue eyes and dark black hair and his demeanor gave off an almost curiously friendly vibe always looking to help people in need.
Occupation: Lone Wanderer and Nomad of Gaia.
Name: Natalie Pierce
Age: 29
Appearance: 5'4", pale skin, dark hair (ALWAYS styled in victory rolls), usually wears a black skirt and tank top with a bright red coat over her clothes. Loves red lipstick.
Occupation: Is an operative of the Agency. Started out as a cryptographer/cryptanalyst and was doing strictly office work for five years before she was suddenly thrust into field work because the building where she lives (the Four Colors Cafe) is a hotbed of strange activity, and it would look suspicious if they pulled her out and put in another agent to watch the place. She still hasn't gotten any formal training besides what little she would've gotten for her desk job, because she hadn't been in place for long before things at the Agency really hit the fan. She primarily performs surveillance at the cafe and at King Solomon's Mind in Durem.
Name:Joseph Jackson Delahoy
Age: 33
Appearance:
Occupation: Lead Detective of the BPD with a reputation for completing each case he takes on.
Name: Chen Ning
Age: 30
Appearance: Chen’s an Asian cop who rarely looks the part. He has short groomed black hair and is often seen wearing shades. The frame of his face is strong, but is still youthful for his age. Matter of fact, he hardly shows much age except for around the eyes. But even that is little due to the well kept state of his body. When he’s not wearing any clothes, women can awe at the conditioned muscles of his body. As for his badge, it is placed on the right breast of his shirt, which is usually only visible when he pulls back his coat. He has another badge in his wallet.
Occupation: A fierce Detective and sometime patrolling Officer of the BPD rising up the ranks very quickly.

Occupation: Originally a woman, Rei is a transman. Many yeas ago, she had been a part of an organization known as TaT- or the Truth about Timmy. At first, it had only been about evolving items, but their interest grew. Rei had hacked into G-corp's computers, and found records from the grunny incident. She had an interest in Gino Gambino, and it wasn't a secret. She was a doctor, head of the mad science department, and she had a knack for gathering intel. She was turned into a vampire by none other than Louie during the war, and fought bravely for her king. Then, tragedy struck, one of the experiments in the TaT headquarters had exploded, and destroyed the building. Rei had taken the brunt of the blast. When he awoke, his right leg was missing and he no longer felt any pain. He was covered in cuts and bruises, and he dragged himself out of the rubble. All of his comrades were dead and gone, or at least those who had not just left. Full of grief and guilt, Rei rebuilt himself, and to his horror, found that his wounds no longer healed on their own. his body was rotting and dead, but he was still left behind. He left Gaia for five years, wandering and wondering. On his return, many things had changed. He came back to find that his items and estate had ballooned in value, and he was now a billionaire. With his riches, he built the Bone Orchard. Now, he has as much gold as anyone could need. But nobody to tell or share it with.

[ These are non player characters that anyone may interact or speak with even roleplaying their actions to further story/plot. They have shops and backstory that anyone may use to keep themselves busy and interesting around Town, dont take it too far though by killing them without my consent or blowing thing's out of proportion etc. ]
Baron Bennedict Von Barton - Is the Regal Lord of the Town of Barton being a descendant of the original Barton family name of Gaian Lore and rightful heir to the Magical Town and all the Land that surrounds it ruling it gracefully and being sure to keep up its very old fashioned traditions. He makes sure that the Town is protected and has his Royal Guard constantly patrolling within the walls and protecting the people who work or reside there making sure the four entrances are free of anyone who may have bad or evil intentions. The Town pays taxes to the Baron and in turn he keeps the peace and oversee's any expansion or new additions to the Town always looking out for his people. He can be a very understanding depending on the situation and at times harsh and unforgiving depending on his mood and has the power to make monumental decisions that others would have to uphold or obey when given. He has alot of children and it is unknown who will be his successor with most of them fighting and vying for his attention or approval.
The Duke of Barton
Lord Arlington Black - A politician with a silver tongue, after an unusual streak of fortuitous events, found himself arbiter of dozens of high profile trade agreements. Though rarely in the limelight, his influence is notable, since these trade agreements often come up for renegotiation. He is thought to have connections with several dubious factions and his opponents in political matters have a tendency to vanish without trace.
Kid Barton - This nickname is given to Jeff Barton a thirteen year old teen who is one of Baron Bennedict's many son's who managed to become a local Hero of sort's. When Jeff was seven years old he got hit by lighting and manages to stay alive. After Jeff got out of the hospital he noticed he has super speed and electrical powers. Later in his life Jeff worked for G-Corp allowing them to run tests on him for month's until they managed to perfect his abilities helping him control them and was more powerful than before. While Jeff was in G-Corp they Cloned Jeff creating an evil twin of Jeff naming the Clone Bizzaro Barton. Months passed and Jeff found himself confronted by an evil version of himself named Bizzaro Barton. Jeff challenged Bizzaro to a race whoever won the race would have the title the world’s fastest Guardian in Barton Town and all of Gaia. Jeff won even though Bizzaro took alot the shortcuts and set deadly booby traps in his Path. These day's Jeff is in his early twenties and can be seen strolling through Town wearing a sparkling yellow outfit acting as one of the regions very few Super Hero's.
David "Qixter" Georgeson - Is second in command to the Duke.
Regulator X - He's an enhanced clone of Leon who takes orders from Qixter and the Duke.
Damian "Ian" Von Helson - Ian is half-vampire, and had been taking treatments to suppress those traits. He is the son of Vladimir Von Helson and Rosalie, full brother to Louie Von Helson, and the half-brother of Gino Gambino and sisters Marie and Anna Corinne Von Helson. His long time love interest has been a girl from Isle de Gambino named Sasha, who was completely oblivious to his advances. Though lately, It seems that Ian has accepted Sasha's interest towards Gino.
Marlon Maitland - Marlon own's a large acre of land further north of Bill's ranch being their closest neighbor in the area. He has alot more livestock than Bill including Goats, Chickens, Hog's, Sheep and even a stable of well thorough bred Horses that are bought and used by the Baron and his Soldiers. He doesnt grow any grains or vegetables on his farm having to buy and trade from his neighbor to feed his vast livestock.
Marcel Maitland "Z" - Marcel Maitland lived an average peasant boy's life cleaning and caring for livestock with his family on a farm on the outskirts of the Town known as Barton. Everything stayed average, until one day all the bovine in the field, suddenly vanished without a trace. Marcel, being a curious young lad, decided that he would keep an eye on the field that night, after the odd occurrence. After much looking onward over the out-stretching fields, to his amazement he noticed a bright green glowing light that shot down from the stars. He quickly ran to his parent’s room and woke them. His father, Marlon Maitland grabbed his rifle and followed his son through the field. Gazing up, bottom jaw wide open, alarmed to find an alien mother ship hovering over the grazing sheep. Marcel was fascinated with this strange new experience, oblivious to it's dangers, he ran towards a sheep that had began to levitate, and before they knew it, he too had begun to rise upwards. His dad readied the gun and began firing at the aircraft. Little did he know that the sound of the rifle firing alerted the alien craft as it made a quick getaway into the sky and into the Darkness of Space. Marcel had been taken to a planet many light years away from Gaia. After being knocked unconscious several times on the journey there Marcel had become concussed, confused and vulnerable. After routine tests had been carried out upon his body the aliens allowed him to depart from their ship and join their civilization, as one of them, a Zurg child renaming him simply "Z". Marcel had joined a Zurg Hive training group. Using high tech weaponry and combat skills, they were on their way to fight a war on the planet Xark, a neighboring planet in their galaxy. They found themselves being blasted through the outer reaches of space by a cataclysmic dark matter eruption caused by the Xarkathons as a defense trap. In a turn of events, as a result of the blast radius, Marcel ended up crash landing back on his real home planet, Gaia. Realizing his true home and that agriculture was no place for him, he packed his bags and left for big city, meeting unique and empowered hero's like himself. He had learned the secret abilities of the golden metallic sash that was given to him by the Zurg that it gives him powers unlike any normal human being Including flight, increased strength and speed.
Rancher Bill - Bill runs a farm and ranch to the southwest of Barton Town. He's been here for years and has quite the extended family working the ranch along with him.
Purvis - The spectacularly dense, but amazingly strong son of Rancher Bill. Purvis has several hobbies, including carrying cows for distance (he puts them over his shoulders like a yoke) and driving fence posts for speed (he holds them still with one hand while he drives the post into the ground with his other fist).
Rina - The good-natured, flighty, some would even say ditzy, owner of the Barton Flowershoppe. Rina can be challenging to speak with because she's just so excitable, but almost everyone in Barton Town loves her like a daughter
Cindy Donovinh - Cindy is a reporter for Gaia 9 Action News. She is the first to report on any conflict, tragedy, or event. Her first report was made shortly after the Johnny K. Gambino's mansion was blown up. She investigated the identity of "Zhivago" The Sniper. She uses the G9 Laptop to type her reports. Cindy doesn't seem to have a tolerance for ignorant people, and is always determined to get to the bottom of things, even if it means working late into the night.
Mike - Helicopter Pilot / Cameraman of Gaia 9 Action News thats always follows and assists Cindy.
Nicolae - Nicolae ("Nicu" to his friends) is the owner and proprietor of a travelling tinker's wagon. He's set up camp in Barton Town while "all the craziness settles down"...which may be for much longer than he originally intended. He's a con man and probably on the run from the law. We've seen him selling stolen goods, selling power-ups, crafting items from loot, and now in the comics as a mercenary who's been hired to kill Gino.
Leon - The commander of the Barton Town Regulars, Leon leads the defense of Barton Town and its outlying suburbs. He has a large contingent of guards that operate in Town and the surrounding countryside. Leon is a friendly, good-natured, bear of a man who treats his mother well and is loyal to his friends. Supposedly, he's "really tough" even by Gaian standards. He'd have to be, to eat his mom's cooking.
Captain Cresento - Is a well connected and regal Elf who now owns his own Airship manufacturing corporation on the outskirts of Town creating ship's large or small for anyone willing to pay a large sum for such a transport vehicle. He's got an ego the size of Manhattan Island, easily. When he crashed his airship into the Overseer's makeshift airtubship, one of his remarks was, "I hope you have insurance, Overseer. I think your garbage pile scratched my airship."
The Overseer - A demi-god of old transformed into a clam. It took over Gino's body for a time and was then turned into a mortal human by Jack later.
The Sentinel - A demi-goddess of old. Was stuck in a box for 1000 years, where she went mad. Tried to take over the world but instead was made into a mortal human by Jack.
Katsumi - This lonely and slightly detached girl tends the shrine in the Zen Gardens. Solitary for many reasons, she is reserved and quiet, speaking rarely and only to those she has come to trust.
Ike - Ike loves the waves. He loves a lot of things, actually...but he loves the waves the most. He's out in the water most days (unless the sea is glass), but he and his friends party on the beach most nights, gathered around a raging bonfire.
Blaze - Blaze is the daughter of a famous deep sea diver who operates his business out of an old waterwheel mill near Bass'ken Lake. She has a younger brother, Todd, who constantly gets in her hair, which prompts her to spend a lot of time outdoors.
Ebonscald - Ebonscald is a large black dragon who is much bigger than his siblings, including his long white horns. His scales are black and his underbelly is orange. His muzzle is sharp and tipped with a horn, the scales on his face are gray and his eyes are red. He is quite a boastful dragon.
Jaws - He appears to be a gentle type. This is seen with this primary focus being about the the Overseer. Jaws is a youthful shark boy by appearance. He has gray hair, eyes and light gray skin, his tail is shark based and also gray. He has an overbite and what seems to be a permanent blush on his cheeks.
Skullfetcher - Skullfetcher is a collector of skulls and displays them on himself proclaiming to be the 'King of the Craniums', he speaks proudly of the collection to fellow wolves and humans alike. He openly talked about his hobby of removing heads from useless bodies and bleaching the skulls white, and also making it a point to give his skulls names. The bleaching activity, he states, is what caused his fur to become purple.
Crazy Murderer Keith - Keith is a convicted murder currently serving (or so it seems) time in prison for murder. He appears to be a rather unstable person, but able to make coherent and smart comments, mostly about murder and death. When his jacket was gone, he ceased all his usual crazy murdering activities. Keith has his own reasons to murder someone, like if they were trying to steal his eyeballs or something, so when it comes to planning a murder he's not much of a ''planning'' guy. He has a knack for chiseling makeshift shanks out of bedpost with his teeth, and making clothing out of human skin. When Timmy was released from prison in October, Keith managed to stab him a few times.
Dr. Schadenkind - The Doc is one of Gaia's most prominent psychoanalysts, with the biggest ad in the phone book. He has degrees on his wall, most of which aren't fake. He also puts on an accent as part of his whole "thing", and has a bad temper.
Ms. Fortune - She is a wandering fortune teller that appeared in Barton Town. Setting up her table and crystal orb at the fountain, she waited as a crowd gathered around her and began to ask her various questions. She singled out [[Ian]] (who was dragged to the occasion by an eager [[Rina]]), but Ian didn't know what to ask, so while on the spot his question was simple: asking if his cat [[Rufus]] would get a new suit. The fortune teller laughed at this and told him to dig deeper for a better question, to which Ian then replied ''"What does the future hold for all people of Gaia?"''. Ms. Fortune found this to be more challenging and suitable and she consulted her "Orb of Circumstance" which, she insist, does not lie. A look of shock and horror appeared on the woman's face and she coward on the ground saying that ''"We are doomed!"''. The fortune was that a great threat would come and that only one group shall survive, or all would perish, and that they'd be forced to fight for their very existence. Upon hearing this the crowd turned into hysterics and began to attack any beings that were not human, this included Ian who is looked upon as a [[vampire]]. But the other beings soon joined in only to defend themselves.
Officer Boothe
Jack - The pumpkin-headed Anthropomorphic Personification of Halloween.
The Easter Bunny - Everyone's favorite lovable lapine as a psycho cyborg/robot/something.
Vladimir Von Helson - Ex-leader of Gaia's vampires. Father of Ian and Louie Von Helson, along with the twins. Presumed dead.
Louie Von Helson - Son of Vladimir Von Helson, and younger brother of Ian Von Helson. Current leader of Gaia's vampires. May or may not be a Vegetarian Vampire.
Zhivago - Vladimir's hired gunman. Apparently now working for Don Kuro. After taking out Gambino, Zhivago balks at the thought of going after Gino... only for Don Kuro to reveal that he no longer has a choice in the matter.
Old Pete - Pete is a wandering hobo-tramp who travels the lands of Gaia. Pete doesn't seem to be fully aware of what he talks about half time. For example, stating that the invisible police told him he had something in his teeth put there by the government so they can hear his radio waves and know when he pees, and he also babbles about things such as the secret dog government. Plus he enjoys drinking paint, brass polish, and eating sandwiches that were left on buses.
Pastor/Reverend Gork
Agatha - Agatha is the owner of Barton Jewelers. She and Logan revealed that they have a daughter, who has just opened her own store.
Carl - Carl is a majestic wild elk who's taken up residence in the abandoned junk store called "Junk in the Trunk".
LabTech X - The first time LabTech X appeared, he was selling Vials of a mysterious Green liquid to the populace for 100 Gaia Gold a piece. Many Gaians thought nothing of these little vials, being more interested in the Halloween party at the Gambino Mansion. It became apparent that "Zombie" Gaians could be cured by using the green vials that they had bought from the mysterious LabTech X. A few months later LabTech X made a series of cameos, warning of an impending "Storm". While there was much speculation, a few months later, Johnny K. Gambino was shot atop a tower built by donations by the mysterious figure then known simply as "The Sniper"...and the Tower of Gambino, fell with him, obliterating the Von Helson Mansion in Durem.
Gino Gambino, who had just recently regained consciousness after being discovered on the beach by Ian and Sasha. LabTech X, lurking within the new G-Corp Lab, released a horde of G Virus infected Grunnies into the mansion, where hapless Gaians tried to contain them. After the mansion was burned to the ground, LabTech X vanished. Lately some Gaians have deciphered binary lettering that declares: “X lives” obviously referring to LabTech X.

-[]- Quests/Job's -[]-
[ These are local or odd job's or missions that people make take up, some of them can be dangerous and may need the help of a group especially if it is a Quest of some sort needing people to travel and take down enemies etc. ]
-[]- Good Alignment -[]-
Baron Bennedict Von Barton: A small increase in crime around Town has alerted the Lord of the North and recruiting for the "Regulator's" or the "Royal Guard" have begun needing more soldiers to take up positions and patrol the area's within the protective Walls of the Town. The Guild Directory is the place to sign up speaking with Commander Leon, certain weapons and a special magically infused suit of armor will be provided.
GPD/BPD: The police station is always looking for new patrolmen or officers of the law and positions are always available. Once you complete some important paperwork and go through some basic training you will be given a uniform and some essential equipment, everything outside the Town is police jurisdiction and new officers are required to be sharp and to follow basic protocol.
Orochi Sey: "The Holy Temple of Falis" is in need of Healers and Paladin's to protect the Temple itself and Heal anyone in need within Barton Town. Contact Sey or entering the temple is a good way to begin recruitment.
Rancher Bill: There have been many Zurg UFO sightings near Bill's ranch at nightfall and he seems to be missing some Cow's from his large herd of cattle, they have either been beamed up to the mothership or mutilated in the surrounding fields which is causing him some concern. His very strong son Purvis has been pulling up large boulders and rocks and chucking them at the saucers but it isnt enough to stop them, he would be willing to pay anyone who can help with some of his fresh crops, milk, or gold as long as they are driven off. [ About Four or Five posts are required. ]
Werewolf Hunters: In the surrounding Barton Forest which stretched for hundreds of miles around the north and southwest of the Town seems to be infested with a larger number of Lycanthrope's needing Hunters to thin the growing population and stop them from attacking the merchants and travelers who use the dirt roads in the area. They seem to have a leader known loosely as "Bane the Merciless" who has laid claim to the forested area but he doesnt seem to have complete control of their actions causing them to run wild changing others into Werewolves without mercy. Silver weapons or Superhuman's will be required to slay these beast's, wolf pelts or teeth etc. will count as payment and can be exchanged for Gaia gold or cash. [ About Three or Four posts are required to slay just one Lycan, increased posts will be needed if facing a pack etc. ]
Barton Library: This old library is always looking for a Librarian or part time Book Keeper, they also pay very handsomely for any very ancient or important book's from all around the world of Gaia always looking to expand their directories with more knowledge.
Barton Fire Department: Burser Barton one of the many son's of the Baron was was the Fire Chief of the Town and was always looking for new Firefighters to help out with any local problems or even forest fires on the outskirts. People with elemental power's over Water or Ice would be in very high demand and greatly appreciated by him.
Thievery: This is usually frowned upon by the BPD and the Baron but different factions rely on thieves or bandits to steal from their enemies. Weapons and even secret information are high priority targets to weaken Evil Organizations and the G-Team and Red Wing's have been known to accept them as payment aswell as Nicolae of Back Alley Bargain's. They usually trade for gold or Gaia cash, though is still not fully legal within or outside the Wall's of Barton Town.
-[]- Neutral/Evil Alignment -[]-
Romani Crime Family: - This famously known Gaian Crime Family is always looking for new members or people to acquire them more money or power hoping to reach their former glory. Robbing or extorting local businesses, taking out rival gang members, or simply stealing anything and offering it to the Don was enough to get praise or good standing in the eyes of the Family. Wearing a nice suit was also a good way to get their attention since most members were properly dressed at all times even in death.
Intimidation: - Located just outside the Town of Barton in the Gaia Suburbs is a Biker hangout called "The Crowbar" where a large Outlaw Biker gang called "The Riders of Hades" make their hideout. I want these bearded and defiant slob's to be taught a valuable lesson, I want every single Motorcycle in the parking lot behind the bar to be destroyed and ripped apart leaving the destruction for them to witness when they exit the building. Casualties are a bonus.
[ The Saint Family ] Taken by: None
The two story bar is filled with possibly twenty well armed "heavy set" bikers so caution should be used when approaching and they dont need to be killed to complete the job. Outside the bar the music is loud and its possible a few Bikers are drunk and stumbling around the area, the motorcycles are the main priority and all twenty need to be demolished before everything has been fulfilled. They will know who sent the message.[ Post count: Atleast five or six for completion. ]
Cleansing: - The Jr Black Mafia our rival has been overstepping their turf and expanding their business on our territory, they will not listen to reason and have forced our hand this time. We will free our misguided brothers from their corporeal prisons and set them right on their way to be judged by the one above.
[ Thug Apostles ] Taken by: None
In the run down dangerous "Barton Height Apartment's" just south of Barton Town there are two abandoned apartment buildings that are being used and occupied by members of the Jr Black Mafia. The crumbling buildings are side by side and both have a second floor renovated used to make and distribute drugs to the area. Its unknown how many gang members might be present there so extreme caution should be used, their firepower is also unknown. Any drugs found or money recovered after slaughtering the occupants can be kept as payment, but we do want the drug factory shut down so destroy the second floors and burn them down. Also we want our message to be left behind so some of the dead bodies should be manipulated and staged with their hands on their chests and coins resting on their eyes, a few crosses written on the walls in blood will also do nicely.
Reward: Drugs/Guns/Money. Post Count: Atleast six or more posts are needed for completion.
Dangerous Mine's: - The Durem reclamation hub is also the location of an abandoned mine shaft used to procure Gem's and Diamond's. The caves are dark and treacherous and its unknown what creatures may live inside, the lights dont work anymore and the mine-carts will have to be moved or pushed manually. Cave-in's are another possible danger and it would be wise to follow the mine cart rail tracks to find anything worth selling at the "Jewelry Shop" in Town. A pick axe, flashlight, weapon's, and other survival equipment would be good to bring along incase something was lurking in the dark or if one got lost in the labyrinth of tunnels.

The Gaian Guardian's -
The Knight's The Knight's of Gaia was an ancient order of mighty Armored Knights who traveled and trekked all across the world of Gaia and held the Old Code of Chivalry, Honor and Pride. When corruption stirred within the bowels of Gaia, the Knights arose to defend the people and the good of the land. Over time evil was vanquished, and peace reigned. It was a true utopia. However, the people of Gaia grew restless and fearful; they saw the Knights as a menace, as barbaric remnants of the past that kept them from true happiness during this time of peace. Thrown down from their heroic status by the very people they strove to protect, the Knights disappeared into legend. It has been a millennium since the last knight was seen, but now new threats rise in Gaia and the Order has been resurrected by a select few descendants.

B.O.O. - Is an acronym meaning: Benevolent Order of the Overseer. After a long and grueling conflict, the Infernal Nation triumphed, leaving the Benevolent Order in disarray. The forces of darkness are already amassing in secret, and The Benevolent Order is committed to protecting Gaia from the looming threat of annihilation. Our ancient order dedicates itself to honoring the Righteous One by promoting his virtues and protecting Gaia from his enemies. As a member of the Benevolent Order, you'll be expected to live by the following code:
- Comport yourself with dignity and patience
- Protect those weaker than you
- Enjoy a lifelong pursuit of wisdom
- Guard Gaia against all demonic threats
Though we are largely a peaceful organization, our scriptures indicate that we will soon be called upon to take up arms against a dire threat. Please consider pledging your devotion to our cause.
