The Abandoned Ones

The story of the abandoned ones is an old one. In a time when there was darkness and confusion, a woman brought her unwanted children, twins, into the wilderness to die. She wrapped them up in rags and threw them into the river to drown. The rejection of a mother's love was so powerful in that moment, and the children, the first abandoned ones, were granted special gifts by the powers that be. Along with those gifts came markings,which appeared as if god himself were drawing intricate designs on their skin. One child was pulled out of the river by a family of fishermen and women, who adopted and loved the child as their own. The other child was rescued by a clan of people who idolized the darker side of nature, the side filled with blood and death. The first child became the first Chosen, and she swore to find other abandoned ones and teach them to use their powers to help the innocent and defend what is good. The second child became the first Other; he was taught to hate and destroy anything that stood in his way, and he recruited other abandoned ones to do the same. This centuries-old battle is still going on today. Which side will you join?

Right now we're in the modern world, so the battle of the old has some new turns. There are weapons, technology, and all that other good stuff to help both sides. There is also more danger of being discovered.

The Chosen

Name: Raziah (nickname Zia)
Age: 19
Side: Chosen
Power: She has the ability to see into the future, though sometimes the ability is vague and comes and goes as it pleases. Her mark is a crescent moon on the nape of her neck
Description of character: Raziah is a distant relative to the original chosen, though she does not know this yet. She was left out in the cold to die during one of the worst blizzards of the season. She was rescued by a couple braving the storm. Zia grew up believing she was their actual daughter, and her adopted parents didn't tell her any different. Her 20th birthday is a few days, and her gift has finally begun to emerge. Raziah doesn't understand any of it, but she does know that strange things have been happening, and she feels as if she's being watched. As her birthday draws nearer, so does the threat of the Others.

Age: 18
Side: Chosen

Description of character: Adam is the dark quiet one. He wasn't always like that though, he used to always smile. That was before his mother died. After his mother died, his father became abusive towards him. After his father disowned him, Adam nearly died in the woods. That was when he was taken in by a group of assassins. They taught him three simple tenants, Do Not Harm Innocents, Hide in plain sight, and Never compromise your Comrades. After completing his training, Adam left for the nearest town to make a name for himself. Adam can't die from old age because his body never gets old, though he does get hurt like everyone else, and any killing blow will take him down.

Age: 18
Side: Other
Power: draws on the power of both Life and Death making things wither to dust or bring them back to life at his whim. this being only the tip of the ice berg that are his abilities...
Description of character: Zen is a very misunderstood being. he has a dual personality which which causes him to switch from being a ruthless and bloodthirsty murderer to a kind and caring soul. both sides have distinct names they like to be addressed by. the dark side known as Yami Zen, the light preferring Umi Zen. both sides answering to simply Zen when called. each sides personality is completely opposing to the other and distinct in its own. powers also relating to which side is in control. life equalling good and death obviously for bad.

Zen doesn't really talk about his past to anyone, normally saying he's a "in the now" kind of person, but really he just doesn't want to mention that he killed his parents at an early age after they abandoned him and was run out of town like an animal by the towns people. since then he wandered from place to place, finding ways to survive till he was discovered by the "Others" as they were to be called and now casually sits between being a part of the clan and living by his own rules. only adhering to the clans whims when he deems it alright.

"What do you want for your birthday, Zia?"
Raziah jumped at the sound. She looked up and saw her best friend, Tara, looking at her expectantly.
"Oh, ummm...I really dont want anything," she replied absentmindedly as she returned her eyes to the book in her hand.
"What do you mean 'you don't want anything?! Why must you be so difficult?" Tara put her hands on her shoulders and glared at Raziah. "Will you pay attention to me?!"
"Sorry, it's just that this new book is fascinating. It's filled with old legends and stories that are supposedly from the beginning of man."
"Yeah....fascninating...suuuure..." Tara sighed and shook her head. "Fine, read your book. I'm going to go off in the land of the wild to forage for a present for you," she continued before she turned and walked away.
"Ok, have fun at the mall," Zia called out after her. She returned to her book once more. "Hmm, The abandoned Ones," she read aloud. "I wonder what that legend is about..."

Cyn sat on a bench , seemingly comfortable in the sunlight that filtered through the park's trees. They weren't large trees, and well-managed, so the radiance was enough to warm him. His memories of the last seventeen years of his life were gone, the only thing being left of it was the pig-mask. It was hidden mostly by the long strands of hair going down his face, hiding his feautures from everyone. Why a pig, one may ask. A pig, a pig, perhaps once his favorite animal. Or in another case his favorite type of food. He didn't mind eating pork, he had no opinion on if a food was good or bad unless it was over-spiced and over-done.

No one had claimed him yet. Either he was thought to be dead and of a distant country, or they didn't want him. It didn't matter to him, in his mind they would be but strangers, if he did find who bore him.

By the time he was found and hospitalized due to beng emaciated and his amnesia, when he was of an appearance of seventeen, he knew how to speak and write. Though it was absolutely incoherant and inaudible for the first few weeks. They said it was due to the shock. On occassions he had slight difficulty identifying objects, it wasn't anything new though and he grew used to it.

Zia shivered and walked faster down the streets of town. The light was dying, and she didn't want to be alone in the dark. Zia glanced over her shoulder again and saw a man. That same man has been following her for five blocks, and he didn't show any signs of stopping. Zia turned the corner and broke out into a run. She didn't get very far before another man cut her off. He grabbed her and time seemed to stop. "You can't deny your destiny any longer," he said to Zia. She gasped, and then everything went black.
