Welcome to Gaia! ::

WooHoo!!! Story telling time! ^_____^ (This may take a few minutes... ninja )

History:

1000 Years ago, an evil lord ordered the forging of two swords. The forger was none other than Rinji Kohmaru. Besides his superior sword smith skills, he was also renowned as a powerful spiritualist. With the sudden loss of his young wife and child in a freak accident, Rinji went mad and fell into the hands of the evil lord Bocchema. Lord Bocchema despised Supers and felt that it was his duty to cleanse the world of this impurity. With a lust for power, he befriended Rinji and coaxed him into creating the Twin Chi Swords. The twin swords bore the symbols of Yin and Yang, and when the two are brought together, a great power can be released. Nearing the completion of the swords, a servant sympathetic to supers heard of Lord Bocchema's plan and stole the already finished Yin sword. Unbeknownst to the servant was that Rinji, in all his madness had anticipated such an event as this and placed a curse on that sword. All who fell into possession of this sword would come across a great many misfortunate events. (Bad luck in other words...)

The servant, whose name was never revealed, died by accidentally falling into an uncovered well. (O.o Go figure...) The sword was discovered by the next person who was drawing water from that same well (ewww... >.<), and again, a terrible misfortune fell upon that individual. So on and so forth the curse of the Yin sword passed from generation to generation, traveling the land. When Lord Bocchema had discovered the disappearance of the Yin sword, he immediately sent soldiers to scour the land in search of it. Unable to reclaim the sword, Bocchema passed onto his sons the quest to find the Yin sword and reunite the Twin Swords of Chi. He also passed on his lust for power and his desire to rid the world of Supers.

Rinji killed himself upon completion of the Yang sword, staining it with his own blood. Hence the Yang sword acquired a taste for blood and if the owner of the Yang sword does not have a strong will of his/her own, they will be possessed by a desire to kill. The Bocchema clan protected the sword with the will to cleanse the world of supers, and every son of that family trained in hopes of becoming the wielder of the Twin Swords of Chi.


Present:

Many have forgotten about the Bocchema Clan and their family secret. The Yang sword continued to be passed down from generation to generation within the Bocchema Clan. The current generation possessed two young men of great power and prestige, Noodo and Fashida Bocchema. Bocchema enterprise is a well known organization that recovers lost artifacts and displays them in museums. The Bocchema brothers came up with a plan to finally regain the Yin Sword. They leaked information to the press that they were willing to pay a great sum of money for information regarding the Sword of Yin, and that they were willing to pay oodles more if someone were to find it for them.

Of course this information was attractive to the villains and they immediately went in search of the Yin Sword. The heros were not too concerned about obtaining the money, but they were worried about what the villains might do if they came into possession of such a large sum of money. So they too set to work in solving this mystery.

((In the beginning... Both Villains and Heros have not heard about the Bocchema brothers and their scheme to reunite the Yin and Yang swords. There will be press release sometime within the adventure... and it's up to you to find out their plans for the Yin sword.))

On the outskirts of Haven, a young man carrying a wrapped parcel stood gazing upon the town. There were many cuts upon his arms and hands and he looked disheveled, disheartened, dismayed and dis-- um... and hungry. His name was Alphonse Gateau....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Adventure takes place in Haven, so feel free to RP going back to your HQ or anywhere else in Haven, but of course do so within this thread.

I plan of writing this into an actual story once it's completely played out ... mostly because it amuses me that much... yes it does. 3nodding I'll write it exactly how it's played out in this adventure which makes it all the more fun because even I don't know what twists and turns will occur!!! (Yay!!) The outcome will be posted in segments in my journal in case you missed out on a while and want to understand the current ongoings of the story. OH... if you have any suggestions for titles.. please... I'm having writers block... >.> (For some reason... The Twin Swords of Chi just don't cut it... lol xd )

I'll be playing Alphonse Gateau, as well as Noodo and Fashida Bocchema. But if anyone is interested in playing these roles, just let me know and you can take over for me. These characters will be posting in different colors:

Alphonse Gateau -- Dark Blue
A little about Alphonse: He's French (duh!) as well as a lady charmer. He will not hesitate to flirt even at the worst of times. Of course he's in possession of the Yin Sword and we'll find out how the sword made it's way to France! (any ideas are welcome) Aside from that, he's good natured even though he is always coming across misfortune. These mishaps will occur frequently and consistently as long as he's in possession of the Yin Sword. He refuses to give the sword to anyone and is somewhat noble when it comes down to it. His family has taken the oath to protect the Yin sword from reuniting with the Yang Sword, but they don't know who has the Yang sword presently. Alphonse doesn't know about the Bocchema brothers and just believes them to be relic hunter-type people. His actual goal is to find a way to purify the sword so that it will no longer cause misfortune. Everyone in his family was once cursed by this sword and so they sent him on a journey to purify it and bring it home. (I mean... it's hard to protect an object when it is continuously cursing you, ne?). And that's all I can think of to tell you about Alphonse. I'm sure if you play him as a character... he'll grow on you and you can change him however you want.

Noodo Bocchema -- Red
A little about Noodo: First of all... yes, he's very sensitive about his name. You can just imagine the amount of name calling he had to endure in school. Hence he's quite a bitter and irritable person (great for teasing!!!) and he'll retaliate in any way he sees fit (including useless insulting remarks... I mean.. Sometimes they don't even have to do with the situation o.o). Aside from that, Noodo is quite a genius and is a superior swordsman. He's strong and could be VERY dashing if only he wasn't always scowling or cackling all the time... (after effect of all that teasing I tell you!)... You probably can guess what his goals are... xd

Fashida Bocchema -- Orange
You guessed it... A little about Fashida: Fashida is calm and level headed. He makes up for all of Noodo's wild antics and usually keeps him in check. He's big brotherly to Noodo but never defends him openly. He desires power more than anything else and has quite the vengeance against supers. (Whereas Noodo just wants power). His reasons for this is unknown (You can come up with it as we go along... or I'll come up with something eventually). Fashida is not as smart as Noodo, but he's just as strong and good at swordsmanship. Another important tidbit (clue) --> He's extremely strong willed. *nod nod*

NOTE:

If I'm not online and you're really angsty about continuing... I don't mind if you temporarily post as either of those three characters just to keep the adventure going. Just try to keep in character and post in that character's proper color so we know who you're acting as.

I hope I haven't been too long winded (*gonk* I know I have.... crying Damn my need to describe... Gomen Gomen Gomen... gonk )

SO.... Please feel free to enter the Adventure at any time. (Even if it's near the end and what not... it is NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER too late... EVER.)

Ok... BEGIN. *sits on a poofy bean bag chair with popcorn and pop in hand* eek

Noodo exited the Mansion that the Bocchema family recently bought in Haven. He got into a limo and was driven to the Mall where he walked around in a scowling manner. People were afraid to approach him and when a few girls tried to talk to him, but he only glared and ignored them. He headed toward the antique shop. ((or one of many within this huge mall... eek )) Along the way he bumped into an old lady and dropped the portfolio that he had been tightly clutching.

Lumina was supposed to meet Ruby an hour ago, but she hadn't shown up yet. Lu tapped her watch impatiently. "Ruby... we won't be able to catch the movie if you don't show up in the next ten minutes!" She grumbled and pouted to herself.

Turning around she saw a man lying face down on the ground. "Some sort of meditation?" She wondered to herself and approached him quietly.

Xeen read through the paper, seeing the the offer put out by the ********, and his mind set into action about all the things that he could do with said cash. I.E, pay some ex-military person to clean out the bathrooms on the third floor. ((I'm feeling really onery tonight.))

Xeen leaned agaist the outter wall of the building, shaking his head.
"You know, you needn't scream so loud, I have been waiting for you."

He smiled wicked, raising his hands as a bright blue aura igniting around him as Tajeh twirled his blades.
"Egear to kill me, hn?"

Xeen felt the magical energy leak from his body in a pretty array of obscenely bright colors.
"s**t." He said simple, extending his hand to conjur a Life Sword, but realized that his mana was shorted.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself entirely too much, neh?" He asked, steading himself within his Aura, realzing this was going to get nasty quickly.
