Welcome to Gaia! ::

Valaura the World of Sin

As you seem to walk through veiled air into a strange and outlandish world, off in the far distance looms a large mass, most likely a mountain or city of sorts. It is dark and seems to touch the sky and the clouds over the very top of it seem black like smoke or ink. The clouds seemed to swirl as if hiding much for view.

You find yourself being slightly drawn to it by some force. Could it be the mystery of the unknown? Some form of magic in biding, or the strange air about the world you have unwilling and unwittingly stepped into? You look to your left and see other far off lands, then you look to your right and see more lands so strange and far off that the only thing that even remotely looks normal and unconfused is the green grass below your feet. You look behind you and notice that the veiled spot you walked through is no longer there. You are unable to turn back, so you must go on ward, but to where you seem to ask yourself.

A strange musical and taunting laugh can be heard some place far off and yet so close as if it where a voice so faint on the wind that seemed to blow ever now and then. You find yourself looking all about and then turning to find at your feet a slightly worn path that seems to lead to the dark mass far off in the distance that you noticed before. That same force seemed to lead you on down the road, and closer to that mass looming in the distance. Not too long after you have started down the path does it end at a very strange and nightmarish looking forest, though everything seems to be normal something makes the hairs on the back of your next stand on end.

Forest Perilous

As you look at the forest it seems normal, as normal can be. Lush green trees and many different wild flowers blooming all about deep within its plant walls. The seems and sound seem to remind you of your world, a world in which you fear you may never return. The forest seems so inviting so you might as well step in and go forward once again.

Those who are skilled at seeing the truth of things out of the cornor of their eyes may see something different. You try and use a skill or some magic to show you the truth of the forest. It fails. You come to the conclusion that your powers do not work in this odd land. You will have been shocked as what you catch out of the corner of your eye as you walk beyond the first two trees. The forest is not at all what it seems. The trees though many have some leaves on them, but not green, are twisted up at the sky as it trying to live through that which causes them pain and suffering. It is as if your worst nightmares of have come in what you fear your own worlds lush plant life in becoming.

The trees bark looks like rotten or old skin from those who have long sense past for your life and on to the next. Their leaves though mostly black are sometimes different in color as you notice a tree or two a little ways off has bright red leaves while a another even father in has green and more have others such as purple, and pink, even one that seems to make you sick to look at it. Crimson, the color of blood. You feel slightly ill and wish to leave the place you now know to be a false image. Though as you look back ahead of you, you notice that all seems normal as you think it should and you fear you are slowly losing your mind and seeing nothing but nightmares.

A bird flies by over your head fairly far up in the air. Clearly out of your reach. You keep your eyes on the forest in front of you, as you do not want to imagine what that might have been. Indeed you are wise to do so, the fiend flew off without giving you a second though as it was sleepy and wished to nest without a full stomach.

Sounds that seem so normal and peaceful just as they fade away seem unnerving to you some how and twice you could have swore that you heard a dying scream from something slightly unless if not less. A few times as you have rounded a tree or come through a bush you thought you felt something like the plant make a move for you with a malices intent of some kind. This only quickens your now beating heart and your peace so as to be free from this strange seemingly enchanted wood that you have mistakenly entered.

As you reach the heart of the forest that has sprung up all about you. You notice that the ground seems to get wet and muddy. Before you is the starting of a swamp. Still it is nothing you can't handle so you move on, with a clear mind so as not to fall victim to the dangers of it.

Venom Swamp

As you make your way from bog to bog careful not to fall in the water and watch as a small snake, or so you may think, crosses your path and hardly gives you an after thought. You started to feel sick again, and are thinking that is must be the fumes from some of the bubbling pools you pass by now and then.

Indeed you are right for those with gifted sight or powers of their own will have already seen the water is far darker then it should be and has taken a purple-ish hue to its deep unforgiving ways. The bubbling pools seem to have let lose a small miasma that, after extended periods of time, confounds the foes mind, causes hysteria, makes them see what was never really there, and after far longer, will slowly kill the insides by shutting down the organs one by one.

Those with their powers or different sight would have seen that what you have mistaken for a snake was indeed one of a different race and size all together. The Calu, a demon snake, is known for is temper and deadly strike though it holds no poison in its fangs. It can still snap a man's neck in less then half a second.

The swamp is poisoned and things of a far darker power lurk below is purple poisoned waters, just waiting for you to make the mistake of disturbing the waters surface. You would soon find yourself in a watery grave or in the belly of beat long forgotten by man. You have almost made it to the end or so you seem to think.

High above you in the trees seems to be the gossamer webs of little spiders all entwined with a strange pink flower whose petals make the shape of a heart. You think to yourself how lovely those would be and wonder if you dare to climb a tree and take one. Their scent floating down so soft, and inviting. However something made a ripple in the water to your right and you seem to snap back to your own self and move on forgetting about the flowers that gossamer webs hung to.

And rightly so that you did for no sooner would you have touched the flower known as The Devil's Advocate, then you would have fallen victim to the poisonous bite of a strange species of spider known as Dalwii, and their spider queen Kalin. How lovely you would have been dressed in the finest silk the swamp had to offer as the queen feasted upon what was left of your body, for no one touches her flowers and walks away alive, for long.

Through the endless forest and the never ending swamp you have past and you now have come back to solid ground. You are surprised as to what you see before you not so far off. It takes your breath away and it is some time once again before you are able to think correctly.

Damned Art

There looming before you as it did when you first set eyes on it is a castle far unlike any other. The art works on the outside walls where so intricately done that one would think the whole thing was nothing more then paint on air. So majestically was it all done and placed together that it seemed to bring only one word to the beholders mind. "Perfection" in its purest form. Though upon closer look the castle seemed to have a far darker look on things, though for all its glory one would never be able to tell.

As you walk closer, almost unable to keep your breath, you come to the realization that what you are looking at is indeed not a castle but a wall without a door. It seems to span the corners of your vision, the boundaries of the swamp and the forest itself and go on forever. You would think to climb it but some of the art work seems sharp and you would never want to defile something so grand as this masterpiece in all of your short lived life.

Though those with power would be far wiser to keep well away from the wall as the swamp itself would seem safer. So much magic was poured into the making of the object you see before you. For magics so dark and fouls to that of ever lasting light. Things to render you helpless against those that have become part of the wall itself for indeed from time to time the works of art moved as if they where living, for in their own right they where indeed alive. Poor souls lost to the ways of the world and not yet stained enough to fall into Hell itself, over taken by perfection at a costly price. Though they could be called souls no longer, more like living shadows of sins from the past. The dead of the dead as they were rightly called. One of the first keepers of the grounds beyond and about.

A closer look above would tell any that though they might have made it to the top unharmed there was no way over the wall itself, as countless domes, barriers, wards, enchantments, arrays, and net magics where build there to keep out any and all who where deemed unwelcome. Though confused as you may have been there was that same laughter as before, a small space along the wall to the west seemed to have opened up.

You make your way through and find yourself under those looming clouds like before. Before you stands a castle much like the wall, though the only hint that t was not another wall like the one before was the large wooden door done just like the wall behind you but in wood and the fact that you could see light from a few windows here and there of what you could see.

Castle Sin

Before you stands a castle, that takes your breath away. You stand in aw as this castle reaches to the clouds and above. The dark clouds swirl at the seemingly endless top of the center spire. As your eye wanders about in the sky you happen to notice there are other towers that seemed to spring up out of the main building before you. There are six outer one and then central spire made twelve though there were smaller ones that could be seen still coming up out of the central body of the castle. Some had bridges running between them in some form of web work.

The castle's outer walls where done in the same form of art work as the behind you as it only served to add to the over wheeling effect of perfection. Above the giant wooden door stood seven different states, that seemed to be grading it in some evil way. Each was different in its own fashion.

The first of the seven was in the center of the seven and seemed to command respect as it was the first that drew your attention to it. The eyes were a deep purple and it was cloaked in a cloak that went down to its feet, while a hood over cast everything about the face by those eyes that seemed to bore straight into one's soul and look at for the pride in one's heart.

The second, on the left, was a monstrous female demon who's fangs where blood red, and her lips where crimson in color. Flames carved from stone licked at her feet as they were decked out in armored boots. The body as a whole was decked out in armor fit for seven world wars. It seemed to scream murder to the eyes of the beholder, and struck fear into the hearts of humanity, as wrath seemed to pool all about it.

The third was a slender female figure was on the left side of the center statues. She wore a long dress that had a slit that ran all the way up to a more reveling spot. She had long nails that where painted a deep blue and her dress was the same way. She seemed so nice and inviting as she struck lust in the hearts of all who beheld it.

The fourth statue was a slightly tall male. It seemed to be decked out in all f the most gaudy and rich things someone who had a lot of money would be seen wearing. The skin was golden and shown brightly when the light, or what little there was, caught it at the right angel. It seemed to hold an air of greed about it in all is golden glory.

The fifth was a figure who's gender could not be guessed. It was quit hidden by the shadows that where cast from the other four. Though the green mask, seemingly made of emerald or jade that donned its almost blank face seemed to invoke the deep sad feelings of envy into those who looked upon it.

The six was a female figure who was far to skinny for their own good it seemed and yet had food all about her. A content smile across her lips as if she was full and knew it all too well, but her eyes held a hunger far greater then any being known to humanity. The food seemed to give off an orange color when looked at from certain ways. When one looked at it one would feel slightly hungry and would fall prey to feelings of gluttony.

The seventh and last figure was a woman again covered in sheets and leaned against pillows in a way. She seemed to be blissfully asleep and lost in a world of dreams. So soft did she look there all wrapped up in those silky sheets and soft feathered pillows. One's eyes would get to heavy the longer they looked at it and soon would fall asleep if they did not snap back to themselves. Sloth was a sin all where guilty of form time to time and this stone being seemed to bring back those dreams to the beholder's mind.

You walk forward as if to open the door and can not help but hear faint whispers in seven different voices. You pull once, the door not giving. You push once the door still not giving. You look at it for a moment or so. You can see fine words written in elegant writing of old and you read them to yourself.

"Utter thy name, and confess thy sin, then the way will open within."

You think for a while, not knowing the meaning of the confusing words. Until at last it comes to you. You speak your true name and admit what has been in your heart sense you were brought into this world. There was the sound of many locks coming undone as the door swings open.

Before you is a long hall way, made of stone with the same art as seems custom to the castle. The air however in front of you, shimmers like when before you walked through to this strange world of wonder and fear. You walk through and find yourself deep in the castle.

Above you written in the same writing as the front door is a sign. It reads as you speak to yourself allowed and your voice echos back off the walls of the large and long hall ways.

"Welcome to Castle Sin."

The Throne Room

As you wander through the halls and various rooms of the first few floors and come to yet another stare way that seems to be the same as the other ones you have gone up, you think how many rooms and floors does this castle have? How can such a thing have been made and by who? still you make your way up the never ending stairs and come to a large room, with different things all set about in it.

You look about and see many hall ways that seem to lead into and from the room. It was far larger then you thought as first as you look up and notice that you are quit unable to see the ceiling. It was bad enough that you had already lost count of how many floors you had gone up, was this one serenity seven or seven hundred and seventy seven? You just shrug away that thought and look about some more.

To your left by the main entrance which was the large hall way, almost a foyer, that you came out of was a place set to be some kind of bar or cafe'. Puzzled you still look about as your eyes adjust to the flame lit room. The room, though large, seems warm in the way it is placed together. Certain things to sit on and a few tables placed here and there so nothing seems out of place. The only thing that bothers you is that you can not see the far wall or the end of the room all together. As to solve this problem on your own you walk a little father in, and are surprised to see seven large chairs all in different shapes and sizes lined up a ways away from the far wall.

Each had its own theme to it as you noticed and they where all overly done in their own strange fashion. There was the largest and tallest one in the dead center of them which stood a clear foot above a few of the remaining six and in some cases a clear three feet above others. Four where on one side and three on the other. You wonder why there where three to the right and four to the left, but that didn't stop you from wondering what they where for and how the hell this place came to be.

By now you are far too tired to care, and the place seems to be empty so you find yourself a nice place on some pillows off in the right corner and fall asleep lightly, keeping your weapon ready in case you were wrong and the place was in fact not as empty as you thought.

So as all of you know or at least you should, Gaia came into being back in June of 2003, this whole thing with the seven sins was far before that. Back in School days in the year of 1999 to be right on the dot, but that is beside the point I suppose. It was brought to Gaia around the end of June 03 a day before the Envelopes were opened and the Halo was brought into being. (Yes, we are older then the Halo, and thus more special. Deal with it.) The original starter was in fact two people, myself being one of them, the other being Gaia's very first Lust. An angel I assure you, fallen as she may be.

So off and on the group came and went, during 2003, which was an awesome year. (GO GAIA!!!!) It started off as a small role play here in the CB. Yes the CB, to hell with the Towns. We have been the Gem Of The CB for a long time now.

What started off as a small personal and close friends role play of seven came to be a guild that has been remade many times still in the original image but with slight improvements now and then. There has been murder, there has been treason, and there has been far worse within the bloody history of the Seven Deadly Sins, but in the old glory days there was only that to outsiders.

A little about the other six original sins.

Lust, was an angel, thought fallen as she was. She was the greatest and at times was far worse in her ways of getting back at people then myself or Wrath. She was the sweetest of us and was also the one who called many of the shots. Never, take her name or sin in vain. It is grounds for my personal slaughter of you. She is the sol reason the Sin of Lust may never be male. It is honor of her.

Wrath, what more can I say. He brought new meaning to the sin itself and the words backstab, cutthroat, basterd, mass-murder, psycho, and warmonger. He was one to slaughter first and ask questions later. Always had a pick a fight with new people and kill any who stepped a single toe out of line. A hero among the damned if I do say so myself.

Gluttony, was a fun loving girl. Far to skinny to do much other then make you eat or not eat. Though damn I shall say she knew how to put food and people away. That was one mouth you wished to stay away from at all times. She rocked so hard that one time we thought she broke Gaia for a whole day. Was a glitch with the sight but eh, she gets that point.

Sloth, was a nice girl. Always quite and plotting in her own ways. She would rather sit there and watch Wrath beat the s**t out of you rather then do it her self. She would even go so far as to tell Wrath that those that she did not like had called Gluttony fat behind her back. The acts which follow I dare not utter for they were that...awesome.

Greed, oh lord...talk about mister money bags. He was the first of us to have a Halo and lord it over us all. Wrath beat him for it and then after Wrath, I did. It was rather fun. The whole month of April is Pick on Greed Month. Though that died out after Greed left Gaia.

Envy was none other then Sister Yuki. Such a kick a** little fire ball and proud mother of a bouncing baby boy. It's not wise to mess with this little green eyed devil, people have been found missing random body parts for a reason. I hear her jar collection has grown over the years.

Out of the original members, five of us are still alive. Yes only six out of seven, you heard right. Gluttony, she was killed in a shooting. Wrong place wrong time, that is all I will say. And yes those that killed her do in fact rot in jail and will in fact burn in Hell when they die. We already saw to it personally.

!!:Warning:!!

The Sin's is a harsh, cruel, and unforgiving place. Acceptance is not be guaranteed by any means. Equality has no meaning here. Literacy is strictly enforced. Idiots will be -creative death goes here-. We have the right to bare arms. Regulars have the taste for power and will end you to keep it. Disturbance with the flow will be dealt with. Beware the castle eats people, not just Gluttony.
n00bs are hated. The Sin's are awesome, and as a reult may cause feelings of inferiority in others. We reserve the right to take over the word, back off wannbe dictators. Pride = God.





DrakeMagestrail, not much is known about the creepy kid lurking in the shadows. He is a newer old-be but still an old-be none the less. He is kind and nice at times but then again he does do a 180* on you when mad. Dear Drakey as few known him is our current bloodletter, or Wrath for short. He gives respect where it is due and rends heads where it is not. Drakey = Kickass Kid


-Greed goes here.-

And the best for last, me, I'm ******** awesome. I'm Pride, and in truth that is all you need to know. I come with my own warning label and I have no cure. I taught Chuck Norse how to divide by zero at that. I demand perfection from those around me and I expect to be respected. Disrespecting me is not a wise thing to do. It causes death, and instant at that. I'm the first and the only. I've been here on Gaia now for many years under different usernames. Any one who can name my username from 2003 will get a spot of honor on this post just below me. I'm the oldest old-be left of this group and as such I could care less of what you think of me, have to say on any matter, how you dress, don't want to hear your views on the world or anything for that matter, and I also will most likely not be your friend. I detest stupid people, fools, and any one with an IQ less then 70. I make the rules around here, and yes that means I am your current god. Do kindly get over your shock and just bow down. Makes things so much easier for you and me.

!!:Special Warning:!!

Getting El pissed at you will cause death to the respect you thought we might have had for you.
Ri is known to make people randomly "SQUEE" in their soul when they come to close to her.
Ange is known to cause people to have Big-O all the damn time because of how awesome she is.
Drake, is known to cause death in the minds of stupid people.
Getting too close to Wannbe is not advisable; children and pets have gone missing.
-Greed's Warning here.-
I'm known to cause the following harmful effects: inferiority in yourself, death to your soul, death to your joy, death to your happiness, self-esteem issues, reality check, deflation of one's ego, life ending illnesses, false hope, exploding heads, small d**k syndrome in men, lack luster, death to your body, and awesome heart failure.



Astria Kade, also known as Kade. She is a quite cold lady, she favors ice and darkness over most people. She is the Avatar of Pride, and thus her most personal and close friend if me. She is awesome in her own way and will wipe the floor with you over the slighest thing. Get to know her without offending her or your hopes of being liked by everyone have just been shot down. She likes playing tricks on everyone and normally is in her snow-kitten form. She is just great like that, ******** deal with it people.

RiverbloodMoon, oh lord...talk about almost as old as Lust herself. River has been through much of it all. Sad to say she will not allow this place to die and personally kills any one who trys. I've yet to find all the bodies. She is a great young lady though so just get over it.

Ambiently Corky, who is actually Heart, a very old member. Such a nice girl...and by nice I mean utterly awesome evil witch hell bent on making my life hell. However she is on a break form her normal "Pain to Pride" campain and is just chilling out.

(-.Acid.Drop.Dreams.-), Man of Mars, or just Mars really. He was Gluttony at one point in time and a great one at that, however; things change. He is as old as Lust when it comes to the history of this place and he is in his own way, a constant reminder why the world wants me dead. Respect him as you respect all of the old-bes, because I'm the only one allowed to kick his a**.

Killersting, not as old as the rest when it comes to old-bes but then again who cares. As much as I love to pick on dear Bug Boy, I can't say much bad about him. He does cause a good laugh from time to time and he does like to bring life about the place. He is cool in his own way. Just got to get to know him is all.


Berry Bunneh, though everyone knows her as El, Elly Bear. Such a sweet and nice girl. She is very shy and does not talk often but under all of that sweet, nice, and sky little mindset is a young woman you do not wish to cross. Those who have wronged her, she will never forget and will go to an extreme to be rid of them. She is very smart and will often play the part of a dumb blond. Careful what you say, slight her and you will be burned. El is an old-be from an age that we will all miss, and you know what they say about old-bes. Don't ******** with her. El = Sweet & Sour

Riketse, the one everyone knows as Ri, and few know as Snvy. She is another old-be of a different and fading age on Gaia. She is nice to everyone until you piss her off, then come the words that whittle away your will. Few have seen her past that first stage and those that have pray never to see it again. She is generally a well-mannered person and by far one of the coolest people here. She has been here through much of the greatest chapters of our history and has had her own hand like Cain, in writting some of it. Ri = 10 points to Cool Factor

Ange DeWinter, who has been known by so many names it isn't even funny but she will forever me Passionate Crime. She is the first Lust of the Sins and has been since late in the end of 2004 and the start of 2005. She is by far the oldest old-be next to the first seven. This girl is one tough cookie, she is sweet, and yet at the same time she will let you know if you have gone too far. Such a heartbreaker, not a whore, just a heartbreaker. Yet another of the people here who it is not ok to mess with. Ange = Right Hand of Respect

The Wannabe, sadly another old-be. He is laid-back kind of guy in his own right but at other times he can get on your nerves, but then again that is what Arcom does. He can normally be found at Rosses's place from what we know. He is a gamer as far as we can tell and loves rekilling the undead. He is a cool guy once you get to know him, to new people he is just odd...extremely odd. Arcom = Odd Zombie Killer

Honored and Never Forgotten

This thread is made, and stands in loving memory of the user known as ChaosDrak. A man among men and a sin above all. The greatest a** the world of Gaia has even known or seen, but don't get me wrong the man was loved by many and hated by few.

He was struck down in his Gaian life by the one thing he never saw coming. Gaia's own ban button, his spirit and soul live on and so will his dream for in truth the man known as Pride is not really gone. He was accused of hacking when in truth he was hacked and his account was used to hack another account, thus his ban from the world in which all know and love.

It was known through all of his friends here on Gaia that he hated hacks and twice he fell victim to them, this last act was and still is unforgivable but sadly we must all move on and so here we are today to bring back that which will never leave us. We honor him as both the master sin and the Gaia's greatest Saint.

Yet you must never forget that he lives on in more than one form and keeps a watchful eye over all of Gaia.

-Mistaken-Creation- our dearest Kimberly a.k.a. Kimi. Was given life and brought into this world on December 7, 1989 a wonderful day in all of history. She was taken from us on October 6, 2009 by cancer. She will always ben in our hearts and in our dreams. The memories we had will never fade for she watches over this thread and castle along with all of the other faiths. Remember her. Love her. Never forget all the joy that she brought. And most of all respect her for who she was and what she stood for.

"Friends and prayers are priceless treasures
Beyond all monetary measures,
And so I say a special prayer
That God will keep you in His care."

The Banished

Renhet - Such a nasty little troll, if there ever was one.
supplice grimoire - The poser, who tried to rip off someone else's look, so rude, and mannerless.
