It was the year 3333. Either someone made a mistake or they decided to show themselves. Either way, they started helping humans that came out of the town and got lost... or they would come by, looking for food, and biologists would catch a piece of DNA.

A blur. Few had seen them, and no one had gotten a picture. Scientists say they have many different breeds. Scientists call them Non-Human Biological Beings, or NHBB. But we know what they really are. Vampires, warewolves, nekos... those we always thought were mythical are really here. We weren't so far off. There are even humans in there... but they aren't the same. They're special. These special humans with special powers live with them, and so they are part of them.

Who are we? We are human. Flesh and blood, we are those normal, regular people. Since the old 2000s, we have all joined together into one big city. Everyone plays a part in our city. We have a big, gray, stone wall and a gate at the front that only the gatekeeper can open. Gatekeeper, that's the first job. If we walk up to the gate, we have to tell them why we want to leave. And not just anyone can leave to hunt. We have hunters, gatherers, and biologists. The biologists, hunters, and gatherers can leave to do their jobs. But anyone else? We need a pretty good reason. We don't want to lose anyone.

Biologists go see what's out there. They research plants, animals, and most importantly, them. Biologists rarely tell things to the media, because they don't want the media to turn it around. So we are left to our imagination.

Media tell us what's going on, but we can't be sure they're telling the truth. Media hasn't changed since the 2000s, we still don't know what all is fact and what's fiction. Some people are scared of what they hear on the news and in the papers, and some don't care at all because "it's all lies".

Hunters go out and kill animals with traps, then bring the animals back for food. They give it to the market, and the market gives it to everyone else. There is no currency. You do your part, you get your share. That's the way it works. We take only what we need, and nothing more. Ever.

Gatherers get berries, fruits, vegetables, and every kind of non-living food we need. Just like the hunters, they give it to the market and the market gives it to everyone else.

Workers is the name for the people with desk jobs, even though everyone works. They do the whole figuring-out-how-well-the-community-is-going thing, and make sure that we will live to see tomorrow.

Laborers are all the people that manage plumbing, electricity, cleaning... all the dirty work. No one thinks more or less of them for this, everyone's job is important and everyone is needed. No job has higher or lower status. Laborers clean the sidewalks. Sidewalks are all we have, there are no streets. The only method of transportation is our own two feet, unless we are hurt. Then there are crutches and wheelchairs. But no cars and no bikes.

Teachers teach the children all the things they need to know, and make sure that they all grow into great people. The same great people that everyone else is.

Gatekeepers make sure that no one goes out and gets themselves killed. They let the hunters, gatherers, and biologists out so that they can study.

Shopkeepers are the people that give out shoes, food, clothes, furniture, school supplies, and everything we need. They are very trustworthy and they make sure that everyone gets their share, no more and no less. Everyone has what they need. Some families need more because they have more people in them, but that's the way it works.

Leader is only one person at a time. That person simply makes sure everything is going well in the community. The leader is not permitted to change anything, get rid of jobs, create jobs, kill people... there is no law, no judge, no jail. No one ever kills anyone, we never do big things we shouldn't, like they used to in the 2000s. Sure we make mistakes... small ones that parents or teachers tell us not to. When we learn that something is wrong, we never do it again. Sometimes, some people break the rules and find a way around the wall or through a hole or something, but as long as they return safe, it's ok.

Children range from newborns to sixteen years. They leave the house at sixteen to get a job and a house of their own. They find spouses. Relationships are much less complicated. There is no cheating or lying, so it goes better. If two people are not compatible, they tell each other and accept it. Sometimes, people go home and lock themselves in a room and cry. Their parents talk to them about how sometimes people aren't compatible, and to keep going. Then, it's ok. Children go to school from five years to sixteen, and then they move out and get a job.



So you see, our community is perfect. There is no fault to it. And that is why we are afraid to let them into it. They could mess it up. We would need new rules for them. They couldn't use their powers because everyone else would be at a disadvantage. And then they would be limited. And some of them do things automatically like reading minds or being strong, so they would have to pretend they knew nothing and they weren't strong. And how would we know? They said they're friendly and they want to truce with us, but how do we know they aren't lying? So for now, the leader is telling us nothing. The biologists tell us nothing. We get it all from the media. Are there any creatures at all? We don't even know. But if there are, are they really friendly? Don't know. There have been reports of sightings... one hunter took his daughter out of the city to play in the fields and she got lost, and it's said that one of them saved her. But we don't know. So what are we supposed to do?

There's a gang starting to form. They meet in the basement of the Nicholson place. That Nicholson family, they're nice. Anyway, the gang is a bunch of people, mainly teenagers, that are planning to sneak over the wall.. and soon. They're sending the first two people - a girl and a guy - over the wall in two nights; the night of the crescent moon. They go to high school and they're pretty nice people. Average, nice, funny kids who want to make a difference.

Are you ready to hop the wall?

The creatures live in a society much like the humans did long ago. They hunt for themselves and their families, and they have fights for fun or to settle their arguments. Weapons are rarely allowed, unless they are part of you, because powers are legal. The fights are often supervised by many of the other creatures. Each species has an alpha, the leader of the "pack". If you're the only one of your species, well... you're the alpha.

There is one leader, and he has decided to truce with the humans. It has been long-known that there was a "merging group", the group of creatures that attempted to show humans that they are friends, not foes. Now, the leader is allowing the merging group to become more famous, letting them have more control and more power. The leader is allowing them to make small appearances near the human city, and leave small traces of DNA. For now, it's a form of hello. A greeting, if you will.

Unlike the human culture, the creatures are more on free will. They hunt for themselves and give to others what they want, when they want to. There still is no jail - they solve things with fist fights. The leader often proves their strength by fighting those who wrong the creatures' community; doing something completely uncalled for and "inhumane", like attacking a child or negatively interfering with the human community.

As of now, none of the mergers are permitted to go into the human community. They will wait until they have a truce with them. And the humans are being very hesitant.

Everyone hunts for themselves and their family, but of course killing humans is not permitted, and they are told to stay away from hunter humans or they shall pay the price. If that did happen, however, the creatures are very much right to defend each other so

that a creature body is not dragged back to the human scientists.

+ please stay active, post at least twice a week if you can, because this RP is kind of a big deal to me. I spent about three days working on the storyline.
---title the PM "Midnight".
+ remember that you can hate the character and you can hate the person behind it, but if you're rude to someone in OOC I'm going to kick you.

+ don't change the way the profile looks, or the way the community works. It's disrespectful.

+ try to go back and read after you've been gone for a period of time. If it's more than 7 pages, you may ask for a summary. But it's rude to come back and expect everyone to halt their role playing in order to explain what happened in the last three pages when you are perfectly capable of reading it yourself. So far, I've posted no pictures, so if you can't read, why are you here?

+ if you are not in the gang and you want to join, then come to the Nicholson house after dark.

+ the leader of the gang is the leader. They decide what the initiation is or if there is one, and they decide if they want to let you in. The last name of the leader is not necessarily Nicholson, the Nicholsons could just be letting the gang use their house, but it could be.

+ the Nicholsons are playable, as are people with each and every job. Even leader. To be a Nicholson, just put it as the last name!

+ Follow the Gaia TOS. If I see you going PG-18+ I'm going to delete your post.

+ PM the profiles to me.

+ Romance and drama is encouraged. So is violence - but only for the creatures.

+ I can add rules as I see fit. Also, you may want to highlight this post if you want to join.

The story up to 11/1/09 2:25 PM CMT ~

A grocery delivery girl, Junie, hopped the wall and started a romance with a vampire, Alladon. Alladon had a twin inside of him, and Alladon's old girlfriend, a witch named Nami, brought his twin out so that she could have him. The twin (Alec) got fed up with her anger and attitude and left her after meeting a fairy named Cricket. Cricket and Alec are now somewhere far, far away from the humans. I'm talking continents.

Alladon and Junie are living at Alladon's house in the woods, and Alladon has turned the human girl into a vampire. Nami lives in Junie's old house and doesn't interact with anyone anymore. Though, sometimes she obnoxiously changes forms to hurt/annoy people.


The humans were invaded by the Avians and all hell broke loose. Creatures are sneakily living in the city now, but, for the most part, the humans have regained control and kicked everyone else out, strongly rebuilding the wall. The gang was demolished and they no longer meet. Everyone is on edge, and they know there are creatures among them. Some creatures live in the city in secret, but most of them are still outside. It is obvious that there is more human vs creature tension.

Order has been regained inside the city. Izanami met an elf named Charlotte and was going to help her get revenge on her demon/angel ex, Leo. Unfortunately, she was betrayed. After fighting with both Leo and Alladon, Nami got upset and vanished off to a small island in the Pacific, somewhere near what used to be the Hawaiian islands.

We are now open and accepting. Feel free to post.

Announcement: we've lost pretty much everyone. If anyone wants in, I'm updating the story for y'all.

We wait alone at night

Alladon sat in one of the trees, near the outer edge of the forest. He watched the gate open and close, watched as the people silently walking in and out of their domain, he waited for a biologist to walk out. His mouth started to water as he drew closer, and closer, until finally he was right beneath the branch Alladon was sitting on, almost begging, "Eat me. Suck every drop of blood from my veins. Don't I smell delicious? Alladon couldn't take it and he lunged; breaking the neck as the human was about to scream. He bit down hard and began to suck, blood running from his mouth to his chin. He pulled away, leaving the lifeless man there to rot. Alladon wiped the blood from his chin and licked it off his finger. "Be more careful next time." He cooed, then walked into the forest.

The smell of your blood, overwhelms us...

[Celladorra]

Junie ♥ Jones

Junie swung her wooden picnic basket as she skipped along cheerfully to the last house of the day. Her work was almost done, and then she could go home and relax. Or perhaps find a mate...? No, she was just seventeen, and though most of her friends found their spouses before getting out of school, she would like nothing more but to enjoy life on her own. Of course this was impossible, she would have to find someone someday, but that day would not be today. She knocked on the wooden door and it was opened; the mistress of the house grinned and welcomed Junie into her home. Ah, the Nicholson house... how she loved it. The last house, and the best. The mistress had always wanted to set her son up with Junie, but did not press on - she knew Junie was a bit of a lone wolf for now. Junie took her time with the produce, taking each piece out of the basket individually and setting it on the granite counter top. She made small talk with the woman before skipping once again, all smiles, out of the house. She made her way excitedly across town and set the basket on her own counter, unloading it carefully with the rest of the produce: her share. She took an apple and went outside with it; a book under her arm. But with the crack that rang through the gate, she froze. Instantly she shot to the front gate of the town; her house was the one just on the right coming in. And the sight was horrific. Her dark brown eyes bulged and her jaw dropped as the figure left in a blur, a dead body left on the ground.

And silently she thanked whatever force that was out there that gave her the job of produce delivery girl instead of biologist. "Hey!" Her voice called, sounding almost identical to that given to Navi in Zelda. "You! Who are you? Come here!" She hoped she wasn't too late... could she, Junie Jones, possibly be the first to witness a Creature up close?

"Junie? What are you doing?" The male gatekeeper asked, and she looked up to him, where he was standing was the top of the stone wall, by the controls to the gate.
"I... I thought I saw something!" She called. She almost felt him rolling his eyes.
"Well you have quite the imagination. I hope you know I'm not letting you out. You're much too cute to send out there into that dangerous world." This time, it was Junie's turn to roll her eyes.
"Yeah yeah Wyatt, whatever you say. I don't care at all." Then she turned back to the gate and called again, "I know you're there! Please, I won't hurt you! Come here!" Hurt? A Creature? Of course not, the thought was absurd. Junie's body type was the smallest out there - thin, and a little short. She had barely any muscle power, the only that she had was gained from walking all around town and holding the basket. She was weak and she knew it. But she believed strongly that all Creatures were nice. It didn't even process to her that the Creature killed someone.

[FishieBear]

We wait alone at night

Alladon's upper lip pulled back over his teeth and he let out a growl. He heard Junie's thoughts and he turned, and found her. His jaw almost dropped from the sight of her. She was beautiful. Her brown hair and chocolate eyes. He stayed hidden, as he listened to her voice, memorizing it. What dear child? He spoke into her thoughts. Why is You do not want me to leave?

The smell of your blood, overwhelms us...

[Celladorra]

Junie ♥ Jones

Junie shushed her voice and her thoughts the instant she heard him in her head. It had to be him. How else could those thoughts have gotten there? She wasn't that creative... Could he hear her thoughts too? Was she about to speak telepathically to one of those creatures? She cleared her mind so that she could have a conversation.

Please... I only want to see you... come closer, I won't let them hurt you... they won't even know what you are if you're careful. Tell me, please... what is your name? She was trying to keep her head clear, and prevented her mind from telling him her name first. What if he wasn't as nice as he seemed? If she told him her name, could he find her? She didn't want to tell him her name if he would not tell her his, so she left her mind quiet and thought about peace instead. Squinting to see him from a distance, she thought he looked familiar. She thought she recognized him... from her dreams. But she couldn't be sure, so once again, she cleared her thoughts and went to her place of zen... a waterfall that shuddered gently into a spring...

[FishieBear]

We wait alone at night

Alladon smiled. Stepping out of the shadows a bit for her to see. He was having an inner conflict about whether or not to walk over and say 'hello' or to even say his name. Would she tell them? They would surely search for me if she did... He sighed a little and walked back to the shadows. You have a way to get out yes? Find it, and meet me by the trees when you can. I will introduce myself properly. And i know you saw what i did to that other human, I won't do that to you. I no longer have a thirst. Alladon nodded towards Junie and walked away, climbing up into the same tree; he watched her.

The smell of your blood, overwhelms us...
