Plot: Every three years a gathering of both spirits and humans is held. The two very different kinds of folks reside in a beautiful mansion to wait and hear whom it is that they will be marrying. It is not a matter of love, but more so a matter of tactics and dues. This has been the tradition for over a century and is considered a big deal. To be wed to a spirit is a great honor, as some help fruits grow, summers shine, or even bring forth victories during battles. The spirits of the world are highly renowned and greatly respected for what they have done and continue to do.

It is time for another gathering of the two. Living in the resort together could be stressful, or it could even be romantic, but who knows what kinds of spirits and humans will show up. It is completely possible that one of the pairs will hate each other. While things may seem bleak for either side, it could turn out wonderful in the end. It is said that being the spouse to a spirit is one of the most wonderful things in the world. Most of the spirits are hard working and willing to please, but others may simply be greedy and bossy.

The theory behind these arranged marriages is that they will keep the spirits happy which in the long run will encourage them to keep up with the work that they do. While this arrangements are for the spirits they will not chose whom they wed in the end. Everyone will be observed throughout their interactions with each other. The pairings will depend on how the elders feel about the personalities and morals of each participant.


Inspired by: I have recently become interested in arranged marriage roleplays. I am not part of one yet so I figured, "Hey, why not make another roleplay?" I love making and managing my own roleplay thread. I think it is a fantastic experience and can be very rewarding.


How things will work: I will be accepting profiles for four spirits and four humans. There will by two males and two females for both categories. I will post a thread later on where we can all talk about who should be paired up with who. Just because two specific characters may interact a lot doesn't mean that they will end up together. We will all have to look at each other's character personalities before deciding who should be with who. But first things first, we have to get the roleplay rolling!

Rules!

1. Follow all of Gaia's TOS. Cybering is not allowed, and no I am not going to tell you to take it somewhere else. Guess what? Telling folks to take cybering somewhere else is also breaking the rules! So I am going to say, just dont do it at all!.
2. Be kind to all. I shouldn't have to say this because it's really something that everyone should live by. however, not everyone gets along or has the same values. If you find that you are disagreeing with someone than please try your best to work it out without causing a scene.
3. Be open minded! Listen to other's and their ideas.
4. Violence and romance are okay, but please do be careful of your content!
5. Do not take control of other's characters. Just because your character may be able to read minds doesn't give you permission to read the mind of Sally's character. Ask permission first! Just because your character makes a lunge at Sally's character doesn't mean that her character now has a broken arm. Please ask permission to auto-hit! Give the person a chance to defend their character!
6. Similar to the rule above, your character is NOT immune to injuries. No godmodding and having "the best character ever who never gets hurt."
7. If you would like to say something ooc than please use (( or some other symbol that will help others differentiate between rp and occ without too much of a struggle.
8. No text talk! Please, it is not pretty and it is not fun on the eyes. It also prevents smooth reading.
9. Don't freak out if someone makes a typo or a grammar mistake. It's not the end of the world.
10. When posting for a character please do not write "I walked down the..." I think that is first person? I don't know... but please do not post as "I" unless you are speaking in occ.
12. Please post at least once a day or every-other-day. I understand that everyone has a life outside of Gaia, but if you are going to be gone for longer than a week please let me know ahead of time!

Terra817
Name: Lilly
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Lilly has long silver white hair that goes down to her knees. Her eyes are the color of amethyst. She is slender and looks fragile in a way like she could be easily broken. She is just a bit shorter than average height. She wears clothes that allow for easy movement but nothing too revealing. She often ties her hair up so it doesn't get in her face.
User Image

Likes: Books, Dan(her pet), gardens
Dislikes: Jerks, animal abusers, seafood
Weapon: Books that she may have on her.
Reason for being selected: She has a kind nature but when it gets rough she knows how to fight back. She is also responsible and is good at taking care of people and their needs due to her brothers.
Bio: Lilly was raised in a dojo with two older brothers. Her brothers were always so protective of her. She learned some martial arts naturally but isn't a master at it. She spend a lot of her time in a library and the forest. She taught herself how to make medicines of all sorts. When she was 16 she started working at an medicine shop and used her pay check on others more than herself. She also took care of her older brother by cooking and doing their laundry.
Other: She has a pet wolf. She had found it as pup in the forest and took care of it.

Nagareboshi Kibou
Name: Carmine Solstice
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: Blue eyes and brown hair Carmine stands at about 5'3". She has tan skin, and often wears lighter colors to contrast this.
User Image

Likes: Reading, animals, winter activities, warm days, and long baths
Dislikes: Being cold for too long, super sweet foods, and being cooped up for long
Weapon: A few poisons
Reason for being selected: Being a daughter of a high official she was chosen from other possible 'volunteers'
Bio: Carmine was the first born to a rather wealthy family, and suffice to say that her father was a disappointed at discovering his child's gender. Like most important families the first male child was expected to be the heir, the most her father saw in Carmine was possibly wedding her off and making a sort of pact with another family. So he wrote her off and rarely spoke to her, and a few years after Carmine's birth he finally received the heir he was after.

Carmine was practically raised by her nannies, seeing her mother at least two times a week to be dotted on and only rarely seeing her father every year. She and her brother were allowed to interact but her father expected much from him so he always had him doing something once he was old enough. Often when she became bored with toys and her lessons she would sneak away to either play outside(which she would often be quickly caught) or sneak off to the library to read fairy tales and such.

She grew into a rather well behaved maiden, even though she occasionally displayed a rebellious side.

Unbeknownst to Carmine she had been chosen from a pool of other girls around her age to be placed in a special arranged marriage. She was told one afternoon when her father surprisingly visited, then with a plain face he informed her of her future and left. Shocked another man came in after her father's departure and told her what she needed to know.
Other: She was given the poisons just in case her future husband decides to not aid their lands, or if he is deemed as a threat to said land. Though Carmine isn't sure about the idea.

Mileki
Name: Annira Seyron
Age: 213 Years Old (A
Gender: Female
Spirit of: The Forests (Lightning Sprite)
Occupation: Annira's job is simple. The protection of the forests and the creatures who inhabit it. On the negative side of that coin if the forest expands to far and will become problematic she is sent to cull the areas that are growing to quickly or the animals that are endangering the woods. Failure of her to do so would create problems for humans trying to expand. Also she has to prevent them from destroying to much of the forests.
Appearance: Annira has short brown hair. Her eyes were a stiking shade of blue. She is about 5'5'' She always wears some sort of dress usually whte or green in color. She usually goes barefoot though.

Likes:
❁ Flowers
❁ Owls
❁ Stars
Dislikes:
☹ Fires
☹ complete Darkness
☹ fighting
Weapon: None (she can make lightning with her powers though)
Reason for coming to the mansion: The Elders want her to Marry so she will be more known and she won't always have to resort to violence
Bio: Annira grew up in the forests with her mother Aria. She taught her daughter how to handle her lightning talents. She enjoyed the company the forest creature provide her as well. She has interacted with humans but it was briefly. Most of her interactions were with a mercant that showed up.

She grew up in such peaceful living conditions that the thought of hurting people is the last thing she wants to do. She only attacks as a last resort, unless humans were the cause. She lacks the social skills of being a good dipolmat and usually will attempt to use her lightning to strike down invaders.

After her mother passed away she got scared of even the slightest person stepping into her forest and would cause dry lightning storms just to keep people away. The elders figure now is the time to fix Aria's mistake and get her used to humans. What better way to do so then to find one to spend the rest of her life with. Its not lie she was entirely opposed to the idea, more like she is scared by it.
Other: none yet

(Pixel Budgie)
Name: Isamu Saiforro
Age: Isamu is a surprisingly young spirit at the age of only 123 years old.
Gender: Male
Spirit of: Spirit of the rain. Simply put, "Rain spirit."
Occupation: Isamu's duties revolve around controlling the rainfall. He does a horrible job at it and often causes droughts and sometimes even the occasional flood.
Appearance: Isamu has spiky orange hair, blues eyes, and an L shaped scar over his left eye. He is pretty scrawny and usually appears to be exhausted and under-fed. In all, he doesn't take very good care of himself. He can often be seen wearing a black long-sleeved turtle neck sweater and genes. Isamu rarely wears shoes. Isamu also has a tattpp of a bird's footprint on the bottom of his right wrist.

His spirit form can be seen by clicking on this spoiler tab. It is basically a black feathered dragon with bird-like features.

Likes: Warm weather, horses, and cheesy nachos.
Dislikes: The cold, water, and foggy weather.
Weapon: None except for his claws and beak when in spirit form.
Reason for coming to the mansion: The elders insisted that Isamu find a wife. They believe that a woman will help him better understand his fears and powers, thus his work will improve and the humans will be more happy with him.
Bio: Being a spirit, much about Isamu's life is well known. He was not born a spirit, but rather a human. It was during his childhood that his suffering began. His parents were neglectful and his father was violent. Unhappy with his home life, he left home at the young age of seven and lived throughout various cities and towns. He survived on scraps and petty theft including pit-pocketing. It was during his homeless-ness that he happened upon an elderly scientist.

Captivated by the elderly man's way, Isamu went home with him where he volunteered to be the man's guinea pig. He was brainwashed into thinking that the experimentation would better help the people of the world as the old man was trying to genetically create a spirit from a simple little human. The earth at the time was going through a horrid drought, one that had been steady for three plus years. The scientist assumed that by creating a water spirit things would get better.

He tried to figure out ways that would make Isamu more accepting of large bodies of water and so he infused some water-species DNA into the boy. Upon entering the water, Isamu would grow gills on his cheeks and scales upon multiple parts of his body, however, the man could come up with nothing more for that.

Isamu was subject to more torment as the scientist then began trying to make the boy into a sky spirit. Perhaps if Isamu could partially control the sky he would be able to control the rain as well. When that failed he went back to the water.

Through the years that Isamu was kept in the scientist's house he underwent countless kinds of surgeries and experiments. At one point in time he was subjected to water-torture, the countless steady droplets of water hitting his head turned him incredibly fearful of the water, which was the opposite of what the man wanted. Fed up with his failures, he tried to kill Isamu.

Isamu fought back using the strength that he had been given and killed his captor. He fled the house, now at the age of eighteen, and found himself yet again roaming the streets and begging for food. But no one would help the odd looking fellow. No one except for Rose.

Rose was a young wise-woman. She took Isamu in and taught him how to better control his powers and fears. She helped him overcome his insecurities and gave him a roof over his head for most of his life. The woman lived to a ripe old age, but recently passed away. It was then that Isamu was thrown back into the fear and torment.

He can no longer control his abilities or his fears, and so the elders have basically forced him into and arranged marriage. It is their belief that another female companion will help him with all of his struggles. Perhaps there can be another successful harvest this coming season. Or will it just make things worse for everyone? We will have to see.

Other: Even though Isamu is a rain spirit he is extremely hydrophobic. He also has sharp eyesight but horrible hearing.

Being none too thrilled, Isamu sat on a bench near the entrance of the grand mansion. Not only had the elders forced him there, they had also insisted that he greet the folks that were coming to the mansion. Isamu had been friendly and happy up until his long-time friend passed away. However, he had sank back into the darkness where he had once belonged so long ago. The elders hoped that pairing him up with a woman would help him regain control over his powers as a spirit. Currently, the rainfall was constant. In fact, it was causing a flood in some areas. Just several weeks before there had been no rain for three weeks, and now it just wouldn't stop.

Isamu remained dry as he waited by the door. The rain was blocked off by the roof that stood over the front entrance. He placed his chin in his hands and stared off at the front gate, waiting to see who would come on through. He was in no way excited at all, in fact, he feared what the others would say upon seeing. Isamu was very well-known, as many of the spirits were, and he was just as well disliked due to failing at his job recently. Hopefully none of them recognize me, though im sure that they will...

User ImageLilly had her things. When she came near the mansion her older brothers were hugging and things. They were always so protective over her even now that 20 it didn't matter. She tried to wiggle out but had to use martial arts to get them off. She said her fair wells to them.

She walked up the mansion with coat on and hood up and saw the spirit of rain. She looked at him. She then sat on her knees in front of him. "Hey are you okay? You don't look to happy." She asked him kinda cornered. She was to him as if he was like everyone else not as the rain spirit.

Isamu hadn't noticed Lilly walking up to him because he had shifted his gaze to the ground instead. His hearing was horrible so he hadn't heard her footsteps either. When she kneeled down on the ground and spoke to him he was startled. He sat up straight, wide-eyed, and stared at the young woman. It took him a few moments to muster up something to say. He had not been expecting to have to make conversation so soon, but now he had to.

"Im fine, thank you. I was simply thinking about the events of this year." He watched her quietly for a moment before realizing that he was being rude. The man stood and held his hand out to her for a shake, "Im Isamu Saiforro... or the Rain Spirit, if you will. May I ask what your name is?" He honestly did not feel like speaking, but what else was he to do? He had a pretty young woman standing in front of him asking him questions.

User ImageLilly listened to him. He didn't really seem all that fine to her but she didn't really know him that well either so she couldn't really judge that. She took his hand and shook it gently. "My name is Lilly like the flower. If you need someone to talk to I'm around okay? I'm a pretty good listener. You can always talk to me even if I'm paired up with someone else." She said kindly and softly.

She put her hand on lips and tried to move them into a smile and smiled at him. "That's better. Sorry if you didn't like me doing that but you look a lot better with a smile on your face Isamu. People might try and take advantage of you if you look down like that. They make try to bully you. We can't have that really." She told him.

Isamu was surprised when she took hold of his face and morphed his frown into a smile. normally he would startle at anyone touching him for any reason. however, he had seen it coming because Lilly hadn't moved too abruptly. Unfortunately, the smile faded back into a neutral expression soon after Lilly withdrew her hands. Isamu's neutral face often came across as a sad frown, which made it difficult to tell how he was actually feeling.

"Thank you for the comfort," he replied before giving her a small smile. "Im guessing that you are here for the engagement, yes?" He scratched his head lightly as he tried to think of something more to say. "The elders kind of insisted that I be here."

User ImageLilly saw his smile change back. She wasn't sure quite what to do about it. She wouldn't force him though. She just wasn't that way. She tried to figure him out but she simply didn't know enough. She guessed that could change but only if he allowed her to get to know him. She again wouldn't force him. She was a gentle soul.

She nodded. "Yes I am here for the enagement much against my older brother's protests. If it were up to them I would never end up getting married. The kind of person they would be happy with me getting married to I doubt exists. They are kind overprotective. I'm the only girl in the family. My mother died of sickness when I was very young. That and I'm their little sister." She said. She shook her head. "Sometimes they can be suffocating."
