Welcome to [:.] The Seven Deadly Sins [.:]!
As you can very well see, this is taking some time to set up, so please forgive me if you've been refreshing continuously in waiting.
This is taking me a while, and therefore if you even think about joining, you'd better stay.
A quick note:
This is Literate to Advanced.
Meaning if you can't even post two paragraphs with six sentences in each, then you are not qualified for this.
I can be lenient, but not with this. Literacy is a MUST.
-Rules-*Yes, we must have the rules. ^^; But don't worry, I'll keep them simple.*
-LITERACY-
Yes, this is a literate to advanced roleplay, and therefore you must act as though it is.
"quotations" are for speaking, and *astriks* are NOT for actions.
a minimum of two paragraphs would bring this place down to semi-literate, so therefore I implore you to put some effort into it!
No, your posts don't have to be pages long (in microsoft word), but I want a good descriptive post that as some length and depth to it.
-Proflies-
Yes, profles.
If you request to be a premade, you are able to fill out everything. Only the picture is given a long with a few other valiubles.
The character is yours, to tweek and spice up any way you like.
PM ME THE PROFILES
This is a must. The subject should be "Seven Deadly Sins", and there should be a sample post to show your roleplaying skills. This is something that is REQUIRED.
-No Godmoding! No Mary Sues and the like!-
-Cussing should be kept to a minimum-
-Romance-
This is encouraged, yet lets not over do it. NO ONE wants to see you all cybering with each other, and I will ban you within a heart beat if I see it.
Cyber is against Gaian rules, and it's agaisnt mine.
Don't even take it to the PMs. It's not allowed!
-PM ME THE PROFLIES-
-And of course HAVE FUN!-
More rules can and will probably show up. So check back. -Story/Plot-
"In a world that was once kind and true, and plague and spread about the land.
The world that held a hope anew, has now been drowned in darkness and dread.
A once bright land has turned to near ash, the skies darken as the hearts of the people darken."
A creature was sent out into the world, by a source never known of before, and one that will evade all the desperate attempts to find it. The creature held within it's clawed hands, a white box that glowed with a ghastly light. A malicious smirk appeared and the gaunt face of the creature as he slowly open the box and released the glowing orbs that had laid dormant for thousands of years.
Now the plague has spread across the earth, encompassing it with hatred that feeds off the sins dwelling in the person. Seven young girls, between the ages of 16 and 19, suddenly found themselves with the glowing orbs inside of them. They had been chosen.
With the suddenly knowledge of that’s inside them, they gain the gift of the elements. Each has one, or perhaps two, with which to stop this creature and return the world to the peaceful state it had been in. But then something happens. People start dying, death surges forward and swallows up the life that was there. The sins inside are starting to kill the people of the world, and time is soon becoming and challenging enemy.
The world is turning dark, the animals turning on one another. The time the teens once thought was all theirs, is fleeing from them as death knocks on their door. They have no time to waste, time is of the essence! For with each month that passes, their powers dwindle, their health falters, and their life is slowly being sucked out of them.
Can they find each other and even gain a little hope? Can they even get along with one another to agree that they have to try and save the planet? Or will their faith and hope die, and along with it their strength to fight the sin inside them?
You decide.
-Setting- The story starts out in a place were grasslands and meadows stretch towards the horizon. Within a horse-show shaped mountain range.
The seven blessed and cursed teens awake from a nightmare that foretells the events that are to happen. Then they'll glance at the clock and see it is 8:30AM
This is were you will start.
The day will be soon and peaceful, but they will feel and sense of dread and doom lurking in the shadows. And soon they will find it.
I will play the part of the creature, as well as one of the premades.
The time setting in somewhat in the past. Cars are there, yet they don’t have any hi-tech machine guns or laser beams. Many people in this mediocre town within the limits of no where often travel by horse. But the richer people have fancy cars.

Into the new world.
I geuss I'll start this story off like any other way the thousands of authors do. Once upon a time. icon_razz.gif. It was a sunny spring day in Eindinburgh Scotland. My friends and I were playing Hide-And-Go-Seek...even though we were 17.
"Alina!" My name rose over the tree tops. "There you are! Hey! Stop!" I began running, they followed. We ran over the grassy medows, into the forests, over the hills, and then, I slammed into the back of my house. "Alina! That's not how you play the game!" Said a boy with red hair, freckles, and glasses.
"Well who likes getting found without a little chase, huh Jesse?" He hit me on the head. The twins laughed. They had blond hair, like me, but not as long, blue eyes, and pale skin.
He walked me to the beach. No one said a word. There, in the ground was a hole. Not just some ordinary gofer hole, no. It was a big, round, hole...and it had some weird blue glow. Walking twards, I took careful steps.
"Be careful!" Jesse called to me. I just nodded. Looking, I could see the glow was from the swirling blue and grey lights inside it, but what were they? Suddenly, the ground shifted and I was sent tumpling in head first. Everything vanished. The last thing I saw was them screaming, running twards the hole as it quickly sealed
*I had fallen to a new world, one in a serious war with Seven.It is called Raswai. This place knows of Earth, Mars, Mercury, and twenty-some other planets. There, their aurmor and weaponry is all in a little necklace of some sort. When the correct spell is chanted, the wearer grows ears, tail, paws, and other qualities of a specific animal. They also get special cloths to go with their ranking position and a weapon of choice. The neacklace, to anyone but the designated wearer, is extremely heavy and if they can get it even around their neck than then they get very sick. Every person on this planet has a different animal that they are alike so everyone has a differant necklace.*
(( Yes, there can be two of the same basic species, like wolf, or cat, but a differant(sp?) breed. Like timber wolf and mexican would, or tiger and lion for example... ))
(( Oh yeah, one more thing, all the people on the opposing side, Seven, are clones of Zero. They are not as strong as him, and cannot controll his pets, but they come in great numbers to defeat all...I think that's it... ))
rules:
1. Basic guild rules apply.
2. Made-ups are allowed but originals are preffered.
4. You are allowed to correct me on my spelling as long as you don't critisize...I'm only 13!
5. This isn't really a rule but...I have no name for the planet, if you or anyone you know does then help me out please!
6. This is based on a book I'm writing so please, stick to the story!

Name: ( Character's name. )
Age: ( Character's age. )

Treyhern  Voices!She could swear she heard voices-- not just one, but several. Struggling painfully to her feet, her back scraping the length of the rough stone wall, Anne Moy made her way to the rotted door closing her inside the cell. The cell was small, cold, and damp. The air stank with a combination of mould and salt spray, echoed with the sound of waves crashing furiously against the unseen ramparts of rock. Anne slid her hands up trough the slime that coated the rotten wood of the narrow oak door and reached for a finger hold on the ledge carved high above her head. A natural c***k in the wood passed for the only 'window' and was her sole means of determining if it was day or night. Even then she had to rely on her instincts to know if it day or night. Not tall enough to see out the window, Anne was only able to curl her torn fingers over the lip of serrated wood to see if men where out there. Was it voices she heard, or was it her mind playing games once more with her sanity? Someone was playing games with her sanity, that mush was a certainty, for between the incredible cold, the dampness, the incessant howling of the wind, and the complete isolation, she feared the strongest of minds could not long resist the lure into madness. The fear she held was like a blanket, smothering her. Having already witnessed and survived the obscene terror of Culloden, Anne Moy thought she could never be truly frightened again, yet there were times her heart pounded so violently in her chest, she thought it might explode. Her mouth was dry; her hands shook like those of a old woman. The walls seemed to be shrinking around her as she slowly came down from the door. Some days it seemed as if the walls were almost all touching her, making it so hard for her to breath she had to pant to ease the pressure on her lungs. And then there were the sounds... They were as bone-chilling and piercing as the screams that haunted her dreams, both day and night. She had watched the prince's army die on the blood-soaked moor at culloden, had seen the charging men cut them down like the pins in a child's game of bowls. She had heard the dreadful, unimaginable agony of fathers cradling sons, brothers dragging themselves on mangled limbs to die beside brothers. And she had heard their cry for mercy as Culldoen's men completed the slaughter by stabbing those wounded souls they found alive on the field of horror. The sounds she heard around her cell, barely audible groans of a dying faith, or crushed pride, and of the utter, complete hopelessness that permeated the walls of the old stone and wood castle of Treyhern. She was alone in her cell, Anne had been told that it was a luxury, for there were easily a hundred men and women crowded into an area that normally held no more than twenty. An oatcake and small tin cup of water were the daily rations. Pleas and prayers went unheeded. The weak eventually grew too frail to use their strength on such futile measures and simply died in silence. The stronger ones clung to their rage and sat huddled in dark corners, showing their defiance the only way they could: by continuing to live... How indeed, could they show and less courage than the tall and straight-backed Lady Anne Moy...Commonly known as Captain Moy, who had spat her contempt in the porcine face of Butcher Culloden with such magnificent defiance? He had come to the prison three times over the past six weeks offering to free her in exchange for giving the prince's evidence against Culloden himself. All three times she had sent him away sputtering Kystrani oaths under his breath. It was a heavy burden to carry on such slender shoulders, and Anne had come closer to accepting his offer on that third visit than she cared to admit. But he had made it in the open courtyard, below windows filled with the strained, haunted faces of the brave men and women who had already lost so much in a cause that had been doomed from the onset. If all she could do was give them this last shred of pride and honor to cling to, then it was little enough. It was also a sacrifice that grew pitifully smaller in importance with each day that passed, each minute that brought the inevitability of her own death closer and closer. Her once lustrous red hair was dull and matter with filth. Her skin was gray and the flesh had shrunk from her bones, leaving her body gaunt and always cold in spite of the spare blanket one of the kinder guards had smuggled through the door. Deep purple smudges ringed her eyes, and her hands were stained black, her nails cracked and torn from repeatedly pulling herself up to the narrow �window� cut high in the cell door. She now held one almost transparent hand up to the murky light and could not entirely stifle the sob that rose in her throat. She was so thin she could no longer wear the ring signifying that she was a captain over men. It had fallen off one night, and she had become nearly frantic groping through the straw and filth that littered the floor until she had found it. That was the closest she had come to weeping since her arrest. The closest she had come to screaming out an oath to the devil himself if he would take her away from this place. She did not even know if her loved ones were still alive, she was told that they were, but why should she have any reason to believe them? Anne curled her fingers into a tight ball and pressed them against her lips. A gleaming, fat tear squeezed between her lashes and streaked slowly down the length of her cheek to her chin. It hung there for a moment, glistening like a liquefied diamond before a tremor shook it free and it dropped unnoticed among the other stains that darkened the bodice of her once magnificent commander�s uniform. Her shoes were gone, she had battered them away for a slice of cheese. The hat she had worn was also gone, that had been battered for another slice of bread� The men she had fought for were either already dead, or dying now. She did not know for whom it was with which. Anne tried not to think on that as she lied back down on the straw mat that had been considered her bed and toilet for the past six weeks. She would live here until the day came when someone would come back for �Colonel Anne�. Characters/Profiles
You do not have to post a profile, for I am not going to do so myself. If you wish, though, you may. I will give you a picture of my characters so that it may help you imagine them, but I will not try and make a profile. I like it best when I can see someone's character through their words, and not in a profile... If you wish to have one up here, please sned it to me through PM.
Rules:
1. No god-modding. This means that you cannot force someone else's character to do something if the character's owner doesn�t have them do it. This includes killing another character. Unless the owner of the character specifically wants that character dead, and says so, do not kill someone else's character.
2. No 'perfect' characters. Everyone has faults, remember that. There are no creatures in existence that can do everything.
3. OOC chat is okay (though there is a specific forum for it), but use some sort of notification ((such as this)) |or this| to let us know that you aren't in character any more.
4. Do not get carried away with your romance. Romance itself is fine, but nobody else wants to see two characters making more characters in the sack.
5. No netspeak in your replies, please. Nobody talks like this: u r so @w350m3! It doesn't work for us. I expect you to be as literate as possible (this includes no spam! Bumping is not appreciated).
6. Roleplay novel-style. This means no *actions in asterisks*!
7. Respect others...I don't think any more detail has to go into that
8. No more than three characters per person...temporary characters are fine, for it is understood if you need to take up a character in order to keep the story going...
9. Have fun...

Eathea  First of all, thank you Myth for letting me start this roleplay. This is a great guild. Here's a little background on this roleplay. This is actually a story which is in the process of (hopefully) becoming a webcomic. I thought it would be a very cool experiment to turn it into a literate roleplay. I mistakenly tried it in Barton Town and watched as my story was ripped to shreds. So I'm going to try it again here. Contents 1. Introduction 2. Rules 3. Story 4. Explaination of Eathea 5. How I Would Like To Run This Roleplay 6. Characters 7. NPCs 8. Link to OOC Thread 9. Announcements Rules
1. Follow the rules of Gaia and of this Guild.
2. Try to post at least once a week. (Preferably more) If you will be away just let me know.
3. To join: Send me a pm entitled �your name here reporting for duty.� Let me know in the pm which character you would like and a link to some of your roleplaying. When all the pre-mades are filled I will start. Please do not post until then.
That�s basically it. There�s only three rules because I trust you guys to know the rules. Any questions, pm me.
This is just the premise to the story. Not all the characters are included. Obviously it will get more in depth as we go along. Story
Maia is a girl from a reletivly poor fishing village in medieval England. She constantly daydreams of a life of adventure away from her own life. She finds enjoyment in reading about such excitement. She spends so much time in the local bookstore that the owner lets her stay even after the shop has closed. One day as she is alone in the shop she notices a strange book she has never seen before. Inside are words written in a mysterious language. She reads one of the spells.
All of a sudden her spirit is torn from her body and is transported into the world called Eathea. There her spirit enters the body of a woman who just died. That woman�s name was Lote. In life Lote was an expert thief who�s skills were so great she was rumored to be a demon. Lote loved scaring people and enhanced the rumors to include the slaughtering of entire villages.
When she got into a fight with some thugs the light from Maia entering Eathea blinded her and she was fatally wounded. As soon as Maia entered Lote�s body the thugs began attacking her. Fortunately she was saved by Kent.
Kent is a knight who guards this village from danger. When he was young his father died and ever since he has tried to live up his memory. When Lote came to the village he strove to catch her. After several attempts it almost turned into a contest between them. He became very shocked when one day the village was attacked by dragons and Lote saved his life. Since then he has been very confused about his feelings toward her.
When he found Maia and saved her he at first believed that he was finally repaying his life debt. So when he learned that Lote had already died and Maia was inhabiting her body he became even more distressed. Though he tries to hide it.
Partially out of guilt he takes Maia in. But only weeks after he does Eathea bad things start happening in Eathea. Wars began and intensify, villages burn, the dragons attack more frequently. Maia and Kent learn that when Maia transported into Eathea she left a hole that was allowing demons to lay waste to Eathea.
Now they have to travel north to find The God of Eathea and ask him to transport Maia�s spirit back to her own world. Explaination of EatheaMap of EatheaMap Key: 1- Rilach- This is the kingdom where Kent lives and where the story begins. Piper and Griffin also live in a small village in the kingdom. It is ruled by a war loving king. 2- Nyst - Where Kyel lives. It has a very shaky truce with Rilach. 3- Matas- It's capitol is built right above the river. 4- Innunnd- This is a thriving and bustling port which recieves trade from all over Eathea and beyond. 5- Cerbell- Little is known about this hidden nation. 6- Turelm- A rich mineing community. 7- Akia- An isolated oasis surrounded by dessert. 8-Toban- The last civilization before the northern wilderness. 9- Sojah- Another war loving nation. Magic In EatheaElementalists: This is an ability that people are born with. They still have to train to use it but noone can aquire it. The ability is passed through bloodline. Elementalists can control different aspects of the enviornment. No elementalist can control more then one thing. Examples are fire, water, air, specific animals, specific plants, specific minerals, etc. Changlings: This is also an ability one is born with and is also passed through bloodline. Changlings have the ability to alter their own body. This can include but is not limited to shapeshifting, changing the structure of the body, the ability to fly, etc. Wizards: Not all people in Eathea are born with powers. In order for them to do magic they have to say spells or make potions. People who choose to study this magic are wizards. The advantage of wizard magic is that they are not limited to one ability. Here Be MonstersEathea is inhabited by dragons. Dragons come in all different kinds. Some larger, some smaller. Different kinds are colored differently. Some inhabit forests, mountains, seasides and all kinds of other places. How I Would Like To Run This Roleplay
I wish to go about this roleplay a bit differently then others. I have set up premade characters for you to choose from. Others may be added if the rest are filled up. I will also listen to any original character ideas after pre-mades are filled. I will not be playing any of those characters. Instead, I will be playing NPCs and the narrator. Here�s an explaination of those two parts:
NPCs
Gamers should be familiar with these. In a videogame NPCs or Non-playable characters are, simply, the characters you interact with but never conrol. They can range from random townspeople to major characters. I will take on some NPCs to help guide the story. As I take on different NPCs I will make a list of them so that you can keep track of them. And to make reading easier I will put the name of whoever I am using in bold at the top of each post. This does not mean that I will play every single NPC. Go ahead and put them in your posts. There will just be specific ones that I feel with help further the plot. It may seem a little confusing at first but if you have questions just pm me.
Narrator
The narrator is a tool I will use to shape and direct the plot. I will not actually narrate technically. I think I will normally just post setting and/or time changes as the narrator. For instance, I might say that the characters are approaching a new town or that a new day is starting. Additionally, I may use the narrator to give suggestions to the characters. Posts with the narrator will be in red text. So always read them. Again, if you have questions send me a pm.

Ascadia
The world of Ascadia is spread with bountiful forests, abundant farming space, vast oceans and magnificent landscapes. Everything is amazing. However, there are always something that plagues all good things, and what plagues this one is war.
The two great nations, Edinsbury and Malinia, have been at war for seven years, each one striving for a different goal. Edinsbury wishes to obtain the vast amount of farm land than Malinia has, while Malinia wishes to get the many mines that Edinsbury has. They had once tried to freely trade food and minerals with eachother, but conflict soon arrived. Each side compplained about the amount of resources they were getting, and they thought that acquiring the others resources would make things better.
On the day of the seventh year, something completely unexpected occured. An unknown attack force completely laid waste to a small border town of Edinsbury called Thrasir. The attack force was composed of armored men riding some sort of unknown flying beast. Soon after the attack on Thrasir, Aydindril came under seige. This was the border town to Malinia. It was the exact same attack force that assualted Thrasir.
A day later the general to the unknown force requested an audience with each Malinia and Edinsbury generals. This man, known now as Warpbrood, a sick and twisted man. He demanded that each nation just give up now, before a bloody and terrible deat awaits each nation. He said that their nations goal, Agraidail, was complete and total domination of the planet. Edinsburies general, Baden, laughed at his proposal, and merely walked away. Malinias general, Emillin, did the same. The next day both Emillin and Baden were wishing they had agreed to the proposal, for the beasts that Agraidail commanded, also known now as dragons, were unlike anything either side had ever encountered. After that day Agraidails Dragon Garrison become the most feared assualt in history.
As Malinia and Edinsbury slowly began to lose territory, they decided to forget their past conflicts and team up to end Agraidails attempted take-over. Though this wouldn't be easy, as each side both have different out-looks on life. Edinsbury praises the god of water and ice, while Malinia praise the god of fire and lightning. Edinsbury use their vast amounts of minerals and iron ore to create better weapons, also known as technology. Edisnbury are quick to battle, and they are the only nation to have developed a rapid-shooting crossbow. Malinia are more tactful, using their superior wits to out-smart their opponents.
The nation of Agraidail lie past the Spectral Mountains. There is only one way past the mountains, through the cave of the damned. The other way is to ride dragons over the mountains, but unfortunately only Agraidail knights are capable of that. The cave itself is composed of trecherous traps, and the only survivors from venturing into the cave are now insane.
Through interrogation, Malinia was able to learn of the major citis within Agraidail. The border town, Latsyric, is exactly outside the cave of the Damned exit. beyond that is the city of Alyssa. The Dragon Garrison trains their holy knights here t ride the dragons. Beyond that is the capital city of Agraidail, Calacova. The city is surrounded by a thirty inch thick wall, reaching up to one hundree metres. The only way in is to either climb the walls, ride a Dragon over the walls, or go through th massive iron gate. The gate is heavily protected, and is virtually indestructable.
The tale begins in the newly formed border town of Edinsbury/Malinia, Ferrum. Six knights, three from each nation, are the greatest warriors in both nations. They are the only ones that control their nations elements. They are beeing gathered at a Ferrum Inn to carry out their mission. Their mission is simple; End the war. They are to sneak through the Cave of the Damned, past the border town, halt production of holy knights at Alyssa, and sneak in to Calacova to assassinate their nations leader.
Agraidail's six holy knights stand in our heroes paths. Surely each one will encounter the knights and try to halt their mission.
Rules:
All guild rules and such.
Oh, and by the way, only humans! No elfs or demons or any of that.
There are four holy knight spots left. There is one spot left open for Malinia.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, but you can only control your nations elements. Only exceptions are Agraidail holy knights.
Like I said before, mostly all of the names here are from Rose's guild. Credit for names go to the people who made them in his guild.
Enjoy yourselves now.

The Grey Space Alright! Your typical Angels and Demons, Good and Evil Roleplay...with a bit of a twist. Read on and find out. Index 1) Plot
2) Rules
3) Character Template
4) Cast of Characters If you find you might be interested, read the plot and scroll to the character template to sign up! Plot Angels and Demons do not mix; it is an unspoken law. However, as long as there have been laws in the world, they have been broken...and this one is no different. A handful of Angels and Demons have found love among all of the hatred, some of them even producing children. It wasn't long before God and Satan learned of this, and separated the lovers, punishing them. The Heretics, children of the unholy union of Demon and Angel, were banished to the mortal plane. They were given to mortal families, growing up as normal human children. Over two decades later, some of them have begun to develop certain...abilities. These abilities differ from humans, and from elves, and from any other race. They do not yet know of what they are, but perhaps soon, they may find out. Some of them have even started a quest to learn of their true nature, their true blood. Rules Follow the basic rules of this guild, and we shouldn't have a problem. wink Character Template Name: Age: (if Angel, Demon or Elf, this may be a rather large number) Gender: Race: (Human/Demon/Angel/Heretic/Elf/etc.) Appearance: Personality: History: Abilities/Weapons: Other: Cast of Characters 1.

Summer Skin
I think there's a genre for this, I just can't remember the name. I know it's fiction.
Plot
“We’re infected. We’re infected and we’re going to die.”
Some say it’s the Devil’s curse. Some say that it’s vengeful spirits of the enemies of the village. People are getting superstitious, and anything could be a sign of their coming doom. Well, it tends to happen when your doom is indeed in danger of coming. Our doom comes in the form of a sickness.
It struck about a month ago, and wasn’t widely known about, mainly because it was kept in secret. A disease that turned you to a demon and ripped you from the inside out. That would cause mass panic, something not so good in such a small village. They said it struck you when you were changing the most, so it was mostly babies and adolescents that were effected, though some children got it too. It only killed a few at first, but then it started to spread quicker, and quicker. There was no cure for it, it wasn’t a manifestation of any other disease that the village had had. No cure, no classification, and no name. No name for this unspeakable horror that left us here to die.
The village was deserted, the only people left were the ones that had the disease, about seventeen, eighteen or so. They left food and water, enough to last about a year or two, because that’s how long they figured it would be before the disease overtook all of us. They deserted the entire town, and I don’t think they plan on coming back, considering what I overheard from the adults. Well, it’s their safest bet, never coming back, if the disease lingers in our bodies.
Left here to die. Every single one of us.
Setting:
The story takes place in what would be the Dark Ages, provided this took place in the real world. It takes place in a small village, grown significantly smaller, due to everyone deserting it in fear of the disease. It’s located near a few other towns, but other than that, it’s fairly isolated. The town is located up towards the north, but it is fairly temperate now, since it is autumn. (Think Northeast United States, preferably Vermont). Most of the people in town are farmers, or were. All crops are left for the diseased to eat, and there is an ample supply of water. (Just a note, it would be sort of like England, if you want a country specific)
People:
The population is currently 16 and dropping at a slow rate. Six of the inhabitants are babies, ten are in their teens (this term is used loosely, think 12-19). All are infected with a deadly disease. The society is disorganized, since it has only been a week since it formed.
Resources:
Most of the houses still exist, and all of the stuff that the diseased had as far as possessions go is still there for them. There is some stuff that other people left behind, but not much. There is a large stock of dried food, as well as what’s in the fields. There are also animals, chickens and cows and the like, but not too many.
The disease (This is very important!):
Basically, it rips you apart from the inside. First, what happens is that you start to feel a bit funny, nothing serious, like a stomach flu. Then, the change starts to happen. You grow some sort of funny animal-like feature, like scales or small wings. It starts to grow, and gradually, for example, if you had scales, they would spread all over your body. This doesn’t sound particularly bad, does it? Even kind of cool, in a way. They can’t do anything much, but it looks kind of cool, depending on what you have. But it gets much worse. The problem lies underneath your skin. The features take root in your body, like a plant, and grow into your internal organs, puncturing them, and killing you. That’s about the only point where it’s seriously painful, and people have been known to go crazy, even committing suicide to escape the pain. The whole ordeal lasts about seven or eight months.
Currently: It’s October 17th, sunny, and about afternoon. Rules.
I’ll keep these short and simple.
1. Be literate. No one, two, or three liners.
2. Please follow the AMP, located here.
3. Please be realistic with the time and place, and there is no magic. Yes, your character can have slight enhancement depending on their features. One restriction I will put on it is that your character can’t fly, because it would take extremely big wings to lift a human.
4. Please do not make a Mary-Sue for a character, it’s kind of boring. If you don’t know what a Mary-Sue is, please refer here, it’s a pretty good description.
5. Please follow the board rules.
6. Please be detailed with your profile, and I’d prefer it if you didn’t use anime (I know how many people are going to listen to that one).
7. PM me your profile, title it “Freckles”.
8. Romance is encouraged, but don’t go too far with it. Yaoi/Yuri is allowed.
9. Please don’t fill up too many pages with OOC.Profiles:
PLEASE DO NOT POST UNTIL YOUR CHARACTER HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
Username:
Name: Please keep it to your character’s heritage, and no really far-out names. First and last.
Age: 12-19
Gender:
Appearance: Picture preferred, but detailed description also accepted. Please put all images into a url, and don’t hotlink. Please be reasonable with your pictures, chances are, you don’t have odd-colored hair or eyes.

The Mountain lords The Mountain Lords Hello and welcome to my first RP in this guild. The posts go as follows: 1. Introduction 2. Story 3a. Rules for Jouten Abilities 3b. Rules for being Hoka 4. Rules for the RP 5. Profile Format 6. Profiles 7. Reserved 8. Reserved Story: Long ago, before any life had been created on Earth, mountains were formed by the Gods along with the rest of the geographic formations. Everything in nature has a little piece of a God inside it, that is what gives it life and energy. These Gods, though happy with what they had created, felt that something would be missing if they were to leave the planet to rest in the heavens. Instead of leaving, each God inhabited a his/her own mountain and would stay to protect the regions that they looked over. Eventually man evolved from the original creations of life and men and women realized that they were special as compared to the rest of life on earth. They were intelligent enough to realize that they too had the energy of the Gods within them, and eventually learned to control this energy and life force. With the ability to harness this power, certain people decided to exploit their abilities and profit from them, or even use them to enslave others since only a select few could really use their powers well enough. These humans are called Hoka. One of these diabolical humans was Yama Hakaisha, a Hoka of incredible strength and an ambition to enslave humanity. Those who aren't with him are against him and those who are against him are destroyed by his hand or by the hand of one of his followers. The Gods saw this happening and noticed that not only were humans affected by all this, but nature itself was suffering from those who would do evil to the land. Few humans would use their abilites for good, so the Gods decided to leave their mountains and incarnate into human form, to become a being called a Jouten, before the humans could destroy the mountains themselves. If a mountain were to be destroyed then the God inhabiting it would never be able to return to the planet and in a sense would be dead. The Gods will rise up and challenge Yama and the rest of the powerful humans in order to maintain order on the planet and to retain their own Earthly existence. Jouten abilities:Well first you have to pick a mountain if you want to be a Jouten. Your ability is determined by which mountain you choose. Physical strength is determined by the mountain's height, but I will only allow two people to play as Himilayan Mountains (Everest and K-2) otherwise have fun choosing your mountain. Other abilities are determined by some special feature of that mountain, for example: if your mountain is Kilimanjaro (a former volcano) then you control fire. If your mountain is known for avalanches and having snow and ice on it all the time then you control fire. If your mountain is a big pile of rocks and dirt then you control Earth. If your mountain is mostly under water, such as the hawaiian island, then you control water. You see where I'm getting with this elemental stuff, but try to be a little more creative than that. You will see another example in my profile. One other thing is that if your mountain is almost always shrouded in fog or clouds or you can't see it very well for some reason then your Jouten can turn invisible or something like that. Be creative! This is a lot more than a simple "Elemental" RP. Perhaps your mountain is known for having dragons nest on it and you can call dragons to your aid. This is fantasy, afterall, so even though we are using real earth landmarks doesn't mean that there can't be dragons and other mythalogical beasts. Also feel free to make up a mountain if you really can't find a real life one or don't feel like reading up on landmarks. Just try not to make it taller than 22,000 feet since there aren't very many that can top that. All Jouten can fly, it's part of being a God. Not all Jouten have to fight against Yama, some can see that he might just win the war and decide to be on his side when the mountains come crumbling down. When a Jouten is killed the area that the mountain used to watch over is thrown into chaos so keep that in mind. Rules for being Hoka:If you want to be a Hoka you can create your own charcter, nothing else is needed. Hoka abilities can be anything you can think of really, but I will limit your abilities to three, but try to keep it around two or one. Remember that these are people with limited strength, even if your ability is to have the strength of 1,000 men, 1,000 men still can't move a mountain by pushing on it with all their strength. In other words, don't expect to be physically stronger than a Jouten. If you want to be as physically strong as a Jouten then that will be your only true ability, no manipulation of elements or anything like that to couple with your strength (Yama is the only acception to this rule since he's the most powerful Hoka). Otherwise be creative with your character. All Hoka can fly. It's one of the first skills they realize that they have. Not all Hoka have to fight for Yama, they can fight with the Jouten because they know that the Gods' wrath will fall on all evil Hoka once Yama is dead. Banned Hoka Abilities: 1. Control over time. Simple enough, no one can stop, pause, or travel in time. 2. Shadow manipulation. No matter how much you want to believe it, shadows can't hurt or do anything other than create darkness. I've had enough of people making weapons out of the lack of light in the area. 3. If your a vampire, you get no other abilities and you have to follow the basic rules for being a vampire (no day-walkers, you have to drink blood, etc.). Rules for the RP:1. Follow the guild rules. 2. Romance is ok but don't make it the entire story of your character. 3. Violence is definitely encouraged, feel free to make it graphic. 4. Follow the ToS (duh!) 5. No god modding, I realize that this is an RP about Gods and god like humans, but try to be fair since others are probably just as god like as you. 6. Obviously this is a literate RP, I shouldn't have to say this since it's part of the guild rules. 7. Make sure to check up on other people's profiles. If your mountain is shorter than theirs then you need to know that you are weaker than they are. 8. No more than three weapons, if you dual wield swords then you can have two more weapons but nothing more and you can only dual wield one set of swords/weapons (such as tonfa or chakra), so no having six different swords that you dual wield. 9. Don't start posting until you have a profile up and approved by me. PM the profile to me or post it in the thread and await approval. 10. Pick a side or be a ronin. That's it. 11. If you don't follow the rules then you will be banned. I will be leniant with this but if the problem persists then out you go. Profile Format:For Jouten: [b]Username:[/b]

Enigma: A Fairy Tale Rules: Anyone caught breaking these shall be thrashed with a thousand wet noodles.
1. Follow Gaia ToS and the Guild rules. (Oooh,such a big scary rule!)
2. After that, my word is law; my will be done. *Big scary godlike voice*
3. Romance is definitely encouraged, but keep it PG16-ish.
4.Don't kill anyone without their permission. Killing NPCs is Ok.
5. After I put your profile on the profile page, please delete the original post. Just to keep things tidy.
6. Have fun. Or else...
People to be Thrashed with a Thousand Wet Noodles:
None yet, huzzah! Rest In Peace:
Hedran, the Clumsy Shapeshifter. Played by Roni-chan. (He left.) Introduction: Many children love fairy tales. Many cold winter nights have been spent huddled around fires, listening to a wrinkled old grandmother spinning a tale of mystery and magic, waiting anxiously as she pauses to heighten the suspense. But did you know that these fidgety little children aren?t the only beings listening to Grandmother?s tales? The fairies are there, and the sprites and the nymphs, the elves, goblins and all the other enchanted creatures gather in eves and behind stairs, under beds and in cupboards; to hear stories about themselves. There are no fairy tales in the Land of Magic, only people stories. People are rare in the Land of Magic - one stumbles in only every thousand years or so. It wasn?t always like this; the People of Earth (as they call humans) and the People of Magic were once one, sharing both their lands and their ancestors. So how came this schism between worlds? That is where my fairy tale begins?
Story:
Long, long ago, the People of Earth and the People of Magic were one People; living, working, playing together in harmony. The roots of magic (invisible) ran through all of them, sent out from the Tree of Life. The tree gave everyone their magical powers. When someone dies, their root shrivels up and the magic returns to the tree. But should the tree die, all magic would die with it. The great wizard, Oz (unoriginal, I know) knew this. In his quest to enslave the world, he called the tree to him from it?s sacred resting place, the forest of Enigma. By cutting the roots off, he can take the magic from individuals or entire cities, leaving them helpless against his armies. But the roots are always moving and branching, making it hard to guess which root leads to which person. Eventually Oz became tired of guesswork, and decided to kill not the tree itself ? but it?s will. (Yes, the tree is sentient. It has free will, intelligence, and just a bit of an attitude.) That would stop the roots from moving. But to do this, he had to find the 9 Guardians of the tree ? regular People, each holding a seed that the tree had given them in another life ? and kill them. (For now, that?s an actual, physical seed that you can plant and all that. Plot twist coming later in the rp.) If the Guardians were dead, then the tree would loose it?s control over the magic. With the proper spells, the magic could be siphoned into the wizard himself. It is the task of the Guardians (and any friends they pick up along the way) to defeat Oz and return the tree to Enigma. Will they succeed? Only I know, but you don?t tell the end of the story at the beginning, now do you? Profile Guidelines:

The Seven Sins Story:Now are the Dark Times, where sins and murder are committed daily in the country of Marsala. These Dark Times have been going on for years, the children being influenced by the adults and making things worse themselves as they get older.
As these sins continued to build up, a man named Alex Calciana, a mage, decided that it was time for these sins to stop and for the people to pay. He built up the sins, and with his magic gave them form. �The Seven Sins.� Lust, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Greed, Pride, and Wrath. These sins turned against their own creator and killed him. Now, they are going out, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people. And with sins still appearing, their own power still continues to grow. The more sins, the more power that they gain. To someone committing adultery to a young boy playing a small trick on his little sister.
Lust is the most powerful of the sins, and is considered their leader. Together with the other sins, they seek to wipe out everything�.
Are you going to let these sins destroy everything?Rules:All of those that apply to the guild.
If some of the sins aren�t picked up after a while, I will play them. But if you come into this role play and want to play a sin that I�m using, you may. Except: I play Lust, no one else.Profiles:

Verlin Verlin ... land of Peace
In the land of Verlin, not very long ago, a dark force conquered man and all its land. Verlin was once a land of peace and serenity, but now under the rule of the Dark Lord Scath, it was hell and eternal suffering. The prophecy states, that one young man could defeat the Dark Lord Scath, and save Verlin. A young warrior, Rand, was just the person in the prophecy. Not wanting to make the journey by himself, his faithful friend Ash went with him. Rand and Ash were each warriors. They were both great swordsman, and were trained in alchemy. Rand trusted Ash with all his heart. When Rand reached his final destination, and attempted to slay the dark Lord, he found that Ash had betrayed him. Ash fell into the dark side; he sold his soul for greed. He made a pact with Scath, that he would kill his friend, for part of Verlin. When Rand and Ash finally reached Fenzin, Ash was called on by his master to kill Rand. In an instant, Rand was thrown to his feet, and Ash’s saber was pointed at his heart. When Ash held the hilt of the sword tight in his hand, he proceeded to stab Rand in the heart. Ash was about to kill his friend, but Rand summoned the only spell he knew. His last words were “Death before Dishonor...". It allowed his powers to stay among the earth while his soul passed to the other side. He would fulfill the prophecy no matter what. Not only did Rand’s powers stay among the earth, but they possessed weapons to defeat the Dark Lord. One of them was Ash’s sword. His right hand formed part of the sword itself, which caused him to lose that hand. The sword is known as “the sword of strength”. Legend also says that other items were formed from the remains of Rand. There are seven items including the sword that were scattered around, each for a guardian to pick up and posses. When the guardians come together, along with each weapon, then and only then can Scath be defeated. In a tale of destiny and fate, love and friendship, good vs. evil, you can do just what you imagined. ____* The sword of strength is one of the 7 items, it belongs to Reki. You are allowed to make up whatever form of item that you would like, with any source of power. If less than seven or more than seven people apply to this, the number will change.___ Here is the format for applying. Pm me your character profile, but don’t start r p ing yet!

Deltora, a city of filth and evil. Were the dead beings and living all share the same resting ground. It was ruined by the Dark Lord, along with the rest of Verlin. Deltora is home of the Dark Lord’s followers also known as Kyrptos. You must be strong to survive in this land, because other than Kyrptos, there is Drac. Drac is a substance or a drug that the followers use. It is made of pure dragon scales. It is costly and hard to obtain. Once someone is under Drac, Evil flows in their veins. They can create acts of evil by only thinking it! If someone other than the followers are found in possession of Drac, it will cost them their life. Verlin
Verlin is split in eight regions. This describes each region and where it lays.
Deltora (city) - Where the Dark Lord’s followers are, also were Drac is produced. Lays to the left of Kensin.
Kensin (capital of Verlin) - Where the Dark Lord lives, once were the king lived. Lays in the center of Verlin.
Univerx (caverns) - Lays north of the capital, were the dark lord receives "information". Also the resting ground of his trapped souls and the undead.
Wesntsin (water falls) - In between the capital and the caverns. Water creatures dwell here.
Kelnin (forests) - It takes up most of Verlin. It runs along the borders of Verlin. Elves use to rule these forests, but most have fled when the Dark Lord conquered Verlin.
Demin(small city) - The only part of land that is untouched by the Dark Lord. It is said that maybe this land is where the descendent of Rand lives. A variety of kinds live here. It lays to the right of Kensin.
Wavven (glades and farm land) - Farmland and flatland. A variety of creatures live here. Not as destroyed as the rest of Verlin is. Lies south of Kelnin.
Fenzin (mountains& fire lands) - Those are not quite sure were this is. It is said to lie just beyond Kelnin. Dragons rule this land. This is also were Rand was killed. It is said that this is the place were the dark Lord must be defeated. “Ohhh, no ******** way!" Ash screamed as he made his way through the last pile of decaying bones. "I swear to god I’m not getting enough for this!" He added, screaming at the top of his lungs. He was still soaked from the waterfalls, when he was trying to find the right cavern. As he made his way down the path, a blast of darkness struck him.
“Oh great." He grumbled irritably. Ash closed his eyes and mumbled under his breath. Suddenly his left hand seemed to glow like fire. Without a hint of being in pain, he walked on. He glared at the walls who arcane symbols glowed in his light. Ash trudged through the cavern with his hair matted and dirty, and his clothes ripped and no longer beautiful.
'Maybe I took the wrong path...' He thought. Ash walked onward for what seemed like ages before he finally came upon a small circular room with a marble statue in the middle of the floor. The statue depicted a young man screaming in pain, as a serpent struck through his chest, piercing his heart, and ripping through his back. Under the scene were some words, "Valez ogh juin feven stunzz". Ash stared at the words and read them aloud in his head. He paused before stating the translation aloud.
"Fear is only the beginning!" He screamed, his voice echoing throughout the room and tunnels. For a minute, nothing happened. Everything remained the same, and his voice faded beyond the walls of the cavern. Ash suddenly jumped back in shock as the statue began to move on the rocky floor. He stared at the moving statue until something jutted up from the ground, and catching his immediate attention.
It was undoubtedly not human. The dark shadow stood before Ash was a big and bulky, almost like a muscular man. He wore armor made from some kind of heavy iron, and carried a long iron sword. He had long, dark, black hair that reached mid-way down his back. His face was completely covered by a thick cloth.
“What is the purpose for you, being here?" He growled in a deep voice that further proved his inhumanity.
“I have come to see my master, Lord Scath. It has to do with the descendent of Rand." Ash responded with as much courage that he could muster. The creature grumbled inaudibly in response to Ash's statement. Ash, curious of who ever this was, brought his left arm closer to the creature. The creature backed away in disgust and knocked Ash off his feet with his large arm. Ash hit the floor with the taste of blood in his mouth. Before he could regain his stance, he was lifted off his feet and thrown into the hole were the statue once stood. He hit the cold hard ground again, now unable to move his left arm. He looked at his arm, and noticed the light was out.
“Dammit! What's your ******** problem?!" He screamed, blood dripping from his mouth.
“Now now, calm down Ash...” Came a soft yet chilling voice. Ash looked up and saw a tall thin figure above him.
“M-My Lord ...I..." Ash said as he bowed as low as his body allowed him.
“No excuses child, I have been waiting for over many years for you. What took you so long? Ahh, but that's not the question here, now is it? The real question is what have you found out for me young lad?" He said in one hollow breath. Before Ash could even move or say a word, he felt two cold hands on his shoulders. With a terrible jolt of pain he was thrown across the room and landed against the wall, but still on his feet.
“I wish people would stop ******** doing that to me!" He complained loudly. Before he said anything else he noticed that the taste of blood was gone. He no longer ached, and his left arm was restored to its original state. “Oh master, thank you!" he said as he got to his knees.
“No time for that, but I am sorry about how rudely you were treated by my servant.” The Lord said, his voice still as cold as ice. Ash looked up and suddenly the room was lit. The creature he'd met before scurried to the corner screaming in immense pain. “And for that he must be punished.”
Scath lifted both of his hands and raised them towards his screaming servant. With a flash of red, the screaming stopped, and nearly did Ash's heart. Ash slowly moved away from the wall and glanced over at the creature. When he looked over at the victim, he was sickened to see it had been turned inside out. Ash nearly vomited right there, but knew better in the presence of his Lord. And even though the creature's entrails were on the outside, one could still make out it's face.
“Haha... well Ash, I see have not changed at all. Is this what I get for giving you immortality? You, on my floor, whimpering in pain and disgust?" Scath asked with an evil grin.
“Sir I’m so very terribly sorry, I...” Ash said out of breath.
“Enough! What did you hear?! Is there really a descendent of Rand alive in my kingdom?!" Scath demanded, eyeing Ash like a vulture eyeing its prey. Ash put his eyes towards the ground, and mumbled a tiny, “yes". Scath walked towards the monstrosity in the corner of the room, giving Ash time to catch his breath.
“What was that?" He stuttered, almost dreading the answer. Scath turned towards his servant with a smile.
“Ah, that is a new follower of mine. I have come to discover that if someone is on Drac long enough, they are transformed for good. Evil flows through their veins forever. But there is a problem, for they cannot stand the light. But, that is only a meager delemma. That's why I'm down here in the dark, to toil away at a solution. And soon, I will find this descendent of Rand and kill him. Then I shall put hell back in Verlin for good." Scath with loving rapture at his own plans.
Scath bent down and picked up what seemed like an eyeball of his recent victim. Scath threw it towards Ash, who immediately darted away from it.
“What is this? You do not trust me, Ash? Even after all I have done for you? You have no faith in your Master? “ Scath said. Ash looked at the object that lay a few feet from him, expecting to see an eyeball. Instead, he spied a dagger. A beautiful dagger made from pure, shining silver. The hilt of the dagger looked identical to the serpent depicted on the statue of his head. Ash said nothing as hecarefully picked up the dagger and examined it closely. Though it was quite beautiful, and looked finely crafted, there was something dark about it.
“I have dark power Ash, no one can defeat me! Dar not even think of betraying me, or you will suffer a fate worse than our little friend here." Scath said gesturing towards the gruesome mess in the corner. Ash looked at Scath. He no longer looked powerful; he was very tall and to skinny. He was pale and his long dark hair was now dull. His eyes seemed like they were drained. They once held dark power, but now they looked as if it was running out and being replaced by fear and age.
“Yes, I know your present thoughts, Ash. I have immortality as well, but it’s running out; and I can feel another presence as well. There is a descendent of Rand somewhere, and the guardians grow stronger with each passing day. Time is of the essence, Ash, and The Wheel of Time is turning in the wrong direction for me." He said, his voice fading. Ash walked towards his master and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Do not say that, my Master! I will succeed. Only tell me what you want and it shall be done." Ash said, regret pooling at the back of his mind. Scath looked into the eyes of Ash and placed his hand on were Ash's right hand was once. He mumbled under his breath a few words and a burning sensation flowed through Ash's arm. A silvery hand was now fixed upon Ash's scarred wrist.
”Thank you, Master." He said flexing his new finger."It's beautiful!"
“They are looking for you Ash, be careful. I want you to go to Deltora and round some followers. On your way if you do see the descendent of Rand, bring him to me. I wish to end that life myself. If not, when you reach Deltora, I will send further word." Scath told him sharply.
Ash nodded obidiently to his master before bowing one last time and going on his way. Before he knew it, he was thrown once again towards the wall. With a sharp pain he was pinning him where he stood and pain ripping through his body. He looked down and saw a form of vine ripping through his skin and wrapping around his chest and body. He was being entwined by some grisely vine.
”Sir please no! No...no...NOOO!" He howled in agony. With his last plea, the pain stopped and he fell to the floor, shaking and sweating. He was still aching from the pain, when he saw Scath before him.
“Oh, and Ash, one last thing. Do not defy me, for I will show no pity as a tear your pitiful soul from your body." He said calmly, making Ash shake more than ever. He let Ash fall to the floor, and kicked the dagger lightly towards him with his foot. With terror ripping at the far reaches of his mind, Ash grabbed the dagger and ran towards the path ahead, evil laughter still ringing in his ears. He ran towards the exit, leaving a good distance between him, and the dark cavern.

I would like to thank MythicalYoko for allowing me to start this role-play.
>_< Thanks. >_< I pray the lord my soul to keepThe story of Living in Sin In this world we are not prefect. I don't care who you are or say you are. Everyone has a sin. On this land, soon built with sin, is where the true beauty of woodland excels. Before humans, elves, dwarfs, etc. The land was once without sin without lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, anger, envy, or pride. It almost sounds sad. What could live in a place such as this, hell? What could be truly living having no flaws what's-so-ever? In truth nothing…only that without a mind could live in such a place created by gods. This sin free land had a name, giving to it by its creator, Icelus.Icelus gave birth to the first living creatures from the depths of its shallow waters. Strange things they were, they could not speck, taste, feel, or see but they could hear. Their hearing was their power used to listen to the earth that spoke to them. These creatures had no names for they had no need of them. You could guess what happens next slowly they began to talk, learning in a different way to get what they need. Soon they could feel the things around them, knowing that something was soft and warm. Soon they could see the beauty, and pointing out the ugly. When this happened the sin had begun. The creatures started to point out what they thought was right and wrong. What they wanted and what they didn't want. What was good or bad. The gods did not like this and destroyed the beings but the land gave forth-new beings, humans, elves and so on. When the gods destroyed the first creatures they could do nothing about the power and sprits that were left behind. The sprits forged their souls into seven stones that scattered the land never to be seen again. The gods found the stones and locked them away from the new beings or anything else to find them. But this was five hundred years ago before humans and other races came. Now five hundred years later in the medieval times a war is at hand. Someone had found the stone of greed and uncovered its mysteries. As well as getting consumed but its sprit that took over his soul, his name was Kyo. Now desiring power he took his once peaceful kingdom, Ra'lin, into a war. He soon found out that every Kingdom had a stone locked away deep behind their walls. A rain of terror fell from the blood red sky and over took the land as they destroyed everything in their path. Kyo would stop at nothing to gain the rest of the stones in order to formulate the ultimate being inside of him. To make a long story short Kyo gained all of the stones becoming the most powerful man that walked the earth. The land always seemed dark and under his rule creating a new kingdom named Sin. He had managed to in slave almost everyone, heh you were lucky if you weren't caught. The people began to give up hope until they learned that he could be stopped. All they had to do was invade the castle and take the stones…but could they do that…without getting consumed themselves?For you see anyone who came near the stones would take on the trait of that sin. The sin would block their judgment and cause them to turn on their own friends and family. That person would soon act like Kyo himself. Is it possible to remove the stones from the king's hand and do the right thing of locking them away? You have to worry about that later. First things first we must invade the castle. This is where you come in ^_^ You will start either in or out side the kingdom either way everyone has to meet up somewhere along the line of this story. A forest swarming with solders surrounds the Kingdom Sin. Further away is a small hidden cabin under a tree with its long thick locking branches cover it. Here is where the resistance groups stay. It's not so big and mostly underground. It's much like a home under ground with a path to the surface. The groups are working on tunnels that lead under the castle so far they are only half way there. They may be even closer then they thought.Only if I shall die before I wakeThe Seven Sin's For you see there is evil at stake Pride
"The Devil, the proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked." - St. Thomas More, 16th Century
- Seeing ourselves as we are and not comparing ourselves to others is humility. Pride and vanity are competitive. If someone else's pride really bothers you, you have a lot of pride.
Envy
Envy is perverted because it "loves" what other people possess. Envy are for those with their eyes sewn shut, but weeping over their sins eating away at their own hearts.
- "Love is patient, love is kind…" Love actively seeks the good of others for their sake. Envy resents the good others receive or even might receive. Envy is almost indistinguishable from pride at times.
Anger/Wrath
Every angry person feels righteous. When we are angry we concentrate on the object of it and forget everything else.
- Kindness means taking the tender approach, with patience and compassion. Anger is often our first reaction to the problems of others. Impatience with the faults of others is related to this.
Sloth/Acedia
Most people think of sloth as laziness, not doing much of anything, but just sitting around doing nothing. Many people stay busy most of the time but don't do the things they should, putting them off for later. They may be staying busy so they have an excuse.
Sloth (or acedia) is a kind of spiritual laziness (as opposed to mere physical fatigue or depression). It means not making it a priority to do what we should
- Zeal is the energetic response of the heart to do what is needed to be done. The other sins work together to deaden the spiritual senses so we first become slow to getting things done and then drift completely into the sleep of complacency.
Greed
There are at least three forms of greed:
1) an obsessive desire for ever more material goods and the attendant power.
2) A fearful need to store up surplus goods for a vaguely defined time of want.
3) A desire for more earthly goods for their own sake.
- This is about more than money. Generosity means letting others get the credit or praise. It is giving without having expectations of the other person. Greed wants to get its "fair share" or a bit more.
Gluttony
There are at least three forms of Gluttony:
1) wanting more pleasure from something than it was made for.
2) Wanting it exactly our way (delicacy).
3) Demanding too much from people (excessive desire for other people's time or presence).
- Temperance accepts the natural limits of pleasures and preserves this natural balance. This does not pertain only to food, but to entertainment and other legitimate goods, and even the company of others.
Lust
To be fair, there is one good thing about the sin of Lust: it cannot persist into eternity. In actuality, sins of the flesh tend to burn themselves out over time. After a while lust becomes a habit and what pleasure it brought diminishes until we wonder what the attraction is.
- Lust is the self-destructive drive for pleasure out of proportion to its worth. Sex, power, or image can be used well, but they tend to go out of control. /:/~*~/:/Rules / Profiles /:/~*~/:/ The little smiley will smack you with his book if you don't know the rules of the guild.

The Beginning In ancient times, when the world was still young, the land was wild. Before mankind enslaved the earth great beasts ruled the forests. Monsters swam the oceans and flew through the skies. The sands were kept by demons, the mountains by dragons. This is the world you are born into. Welcome to ancient times. Welcome to the Beginning. Hello and Welcome to the Beginnning. This is an open roleplay created to simulate an ancient world. In this world, creatures of all shapes and sizes rule the land, with humans and smaller creatures as their main prey. Players can choose to play a human character or a creature. Humans are part of a primitive society. They wear skins as clothes, and currently only have the most basic of tools. Their primary weapon and hunting tool is the spear. They will live in small groups, and will rest wherever there is sufficient shelter. They are an ingenuitive race, so they have the ability to, over time, create new technologies. The creatures, however, are a little bit different. These creatures are the current pinnacles of evolution, each with a specific role to play and place to be in this life. There are formidable predators, plentiful prey, and many different walks that the creature may walk in life. For a player who wishes to play a creature, it is encouraged to create a new race, or use a race from the list at the bottom. Then create a character around that. If you choose to create a race, remember to use your imagination. This is a fantasy roleplay, after all. As well, characters on both sides should feel free to explore the world. I'll have a map which I will be keeping up to date to mark the expansion of the known world. The imagination will become very useful as the roleplay goes on. You can count on that. ^.^ Rules:This is an RP that follows seven basic rules. Follow them and you will not find your character in RP Hell. Do not, and mine will devour yours whilst it is still alive. biggrin Rule I: If you wish to join, PM this filled out form to me. - Quote: Gaia Name: Character Name: Character Race: Age: (For creatures, just say young, old, ancient, ect.) Description: Homeland: Rule II: Be curteous to everyone whilst on this thread. You don't have to like people here, just don't be a jerk about it. Rule III: We are going rated R with this one, but for explicit language, violence, and possible nudity. I don't want there to be ANY cybering, nor do I want an extensive amount of cursing/nakedness. Keep it appropriate. Rule IV: I will smite godmodders. If you think someone's been godmodding, tell me and I'll take care of it. Rule V: Thou shalt not kill anyone other then an NPC, unless you have that player's permission. Rule VI: More then one character is okay. Rule VII: Have fun ^.^ Areas: This is a list of Habitats and villages that the creatures and humans live in. Exploration is encouraged, just tell me if you want me to chart the areas. Creatures: This is a list of the different creatures that inhabit the ancient world. Quote: Bara-Bara - Small, longhaired, yak-like creatures with antlers like a deer. They don't run very fast, but prefer to stand their ground. Quote: Harpy - A creature that looks like a beautiful woman, but has bird legs and wings for arms. Quote: Humans - About the same as today's humans, but with lesser technology and lesser understanding of the world. Highly adaptable to most situations. Quote: Gyrfalcon - A husky-sized falcon, but with a cat-like torso, and hawk hind-legs as well. It's body is covered with silvery feathers.

Drow vs. Elf
Everything you need to know....
The Drow, a fierce group of subterranian elves, have wrecked havoc upon their peaceful cousins of the surface for as long as storytelling has existed. Many elves have fell to the blades of the "dark" elves. Denviths, a small town on the outskirts of The Great Mountian, the exit to the Underdark. Anyways, in this small town of Denviths, they were one of the few to defeat the raids of the Drow. The townfolks are furious, and the elves in themselves are tired of the raids. Now, the elves have joined forces, in a final attempt to defeat the drow in an epic battle. However, the Drow are not one to turn the other cheeck, and so they have planned to create a large scale army to torture the Elves of the Surface.
Now you choose. You can be a drow or an elf. Just PM me your character, and also alittle taste of your rp skills.

[ Welcome! ] -Created by ~Adriel Everin~ Well, hello.^^
This is a roleplay I attempted to start twice in the Barton Town, but unsurprisingly it fell apart basically before it had even began each time. Hopefully, though, now, starting it here will actually give it a chance to go somewhere.
Now, this is a (hopefully) long-term literate roleplay. So please be a creative, commited, and a skilled writer if you are to join this.^^ That's all I ask for. Thx~! <3 [x] [ Welcome ] : [x] [ Rules ] : [x] [ Plot/Story ] : [x] [ Character/Profiles ]: [x] [ Announcements/Updates ]
[ Rules ] [1.] The is Literate/Advanced roleplay. So be Literate!! Posts should have the following criteria:
- They must be no less than seven sentences. I am hoping for all posts to be a paragraph. ((It's not that hard!!))
- Use proper grammar! That means mind all proper punctuation and tenses. And no chat speak (ex. “Lol, how r u?”)! Unless it's in the OOCs....
- Proper spelling! Seriously! It's not too hard. ><
- Please speak in narrative form. Use "" for dailogue. No ** or :: for actions! When talking in OOC, please use something like ((this)), so we can tell.
[2.] Romance is encouraged. However, you better keep it to a non-explicit level (the most is PG-15). If it gets any farther, take it to PMs, or suffer being banned. No one wants to watch people cyber.
[3.] No god-modding! This means no making your character a Mary Sue! scream No controlling other people's characters, and no killing them off without permission.
[4.] I do not wish to see any flames, negative posts, or crude and hurtful remarks towards anyone's person. If I see it, you'd better watch out. ninja
[5.] You must PM me your profile, putting "I <3 tragedy" as the subject. I will judge if you have read the rules as well as your level of writing ability by these pms, so have regard for them! If I don't like your pm, you won't be accepted.
[6.] You must be faithful to the roleplay! I hate it when people just randomly leave without telling others. If you have to go, please notify us. And, if you have not posted in three days, I will PM you, asking you for the reason. If you still don't respond to that after another day, you are out of the rp.
[7.] If you are giving me pictures, please, send me nice ones, not ones that will burn my eyes. Nothing sick, and no ugly photographs. Also, if it's an ugly RPG pic (you know, those 3-D ones) I will not like it. Oh, and no avis, or mentions to your sig or something. -.-' Please give me pretty, complete, nice-to-look-at ones! <3
[8.] And most importantly…have fun! It's what it's all about.^^ [x] [ Welcome ] : [x] [ Rules ] : [x] [ Plot/Story ] : [x] [ Character/Profiles ]: [x] [ Announcements/Updates ]
[ Plot/Story] Well, ok. This is based off my Gondolin rp idea....I just took away the LOTR-ishness of it since it didn't seem too inviting to many. Well anyhow, here goes the story...we'll be starting from right before the ball of the opening day, and then on, follwing the storyline skeleton I will be providing.^^ Twists are of course welcome....please pm them to me to think about. Thankies! <3
Dothlind was a great, rising city of magnificence. It was a haven of white, gleaming stone, raised by the High King of the land himself. It was also located in the most perfect spot possible - hidden away in the giant mountain ranges to the North, which had enchantments upon them so that none could see beyond their tops. Thus this was what made it the perfect city - not even evil's seeking eyes could find it, nor stumble into it without an invitation. The city was grand, beautiful, a peice of ingenious art.... and it was open to all who needed it.
The King had made it so that his people and other safety-seekers could at last have a place to reside in without fear. They could all live in luxury, no matter what their status, and enjoy the lives they had. Everyone there seemed to be everyone else's friend. Just an ultimate picturesque Utopian land.
Of course, once a person entered the hidden kingdom, they could not be ever allowed to leave again, lest the evil forces find out the truth of the location from them. But the people were all content with that; why shouldn't they be?
And thus, on the official opening day, the King ordered a giant ball/celebration to be set up for all that were now in the city. It was going to be one of the richest, grandest events ever seen, and no one could wait.
But peace never lasts long. There was a certain lady, the King's niece in fact, who was declared to be the most beautiful of the ladies there in the city. All the men adored her, of course, but she had heart for only one of them - a mere young horse trainer. And of course, the other men were fine with that - it wasn't like there weren't other girls to go after - except for one.
He was the King's closet and most brilliant advisor. And what made him so bright especially was the fact that he was much younger than the other advisors - only 20-something, in fact. And he loved the girl. Madly. But the problem was that she would barely ever even look at him.
And thus jealousy bregan to breed treachery. As the days flew by, his unanswered passion and humiliated rejection by her began to twist his breaking soul into one that hungered for revenge. And at last, he carried out his ultimate plan for complete victory - he was going to devastate the whole city, and every single person that lived in it. He told evil the location, and the invatation needed to enter the city.
And then the blackness began to spread.....and the giant city of Dothlin, just beginning to live, was suddenly and tragically vanquished.
((Now, the rest of the story is up for you guys to decide later. We can have it just end there, with the destruction, or we can have some survivors live to slowly recreate the city, never to be as grand as it was, but at least to some degree of restoration. What would you like? xP Pm it to me.^^)) [x] [ Welcome ] : [x] [ Rules ] : [x] [ Plot/Story ] : [x] [ Character/Profiles ]: [x] [ Announcements/Updates ]
[ Character/Profiles ] Well, ok. Obviously, from reading the Story ninja , you can see that there are already some premades, such as the neice, the King, the advisor, etc. But I like to give people freedom with it, so here's how it's gonna work. Unfortunately, I will be taking the spot of the neice -.-', so unless you have a good reason for why you should be her instead in a pm to me, you can't be her. xP
But, there are the several other postitions open for ya'll.
The Neice (Amaranth) - ~Adriel Everin~
The King (Ridell) - Deadside Dreams
The Advisor (Jacovi) - Midori_person
The Neice's Lover (Canin) - Reprimand
The Queen (Arisae) - SnowPheonix
The Leader of Evil(Kalen) - --Noki--403
Other Evil(s) [slightly lower rank] - [ Aurum Paradise ]
Other premades may pop up if I remember them. o_0
Now, ok, the deal about these premades - you are completely free to name them, make them look, act, be, whatever, completely the way you like, AS LONG AS you still make it seem right for the character you are playing. If you make stuff up that just seems weird and ridiculous (ex. for the advisor - A happy, cheery, jokish 16-year-old boy with angel wings) I won't let you be them. Please be sensible and use your head to create charaters of your own but that still seem reasonable. (No 20-year old Kings!!)
These chars will be first come, first serve. If you want to be one of them but it is already taken, I'm sorry - you'll just have to be another one of them, or you can also read on:
Of course, in the city, there are other citizens of all sorts. If you'd like to be one of them, just pm me your profile as well^^ (and these don't need to go by anything! <3) Also, these chars are what make such rps full! I really hope there'll be such people, not just the premades.....it's no fun then, if there's only 6 or something people. D:
Otherwise, that's it! Please PM me your profiles in the style provided below, and have fun! (P.S. Most premades will have some certain things I will also need to tell them in Pms.^^)
Profile Format:
Name:
Played By:
Gender:

Age:

Story: (a short one is preferred!!)
Ooooh, and one more thing. I want this to be a relatively sane rp, so NO wild races (ex. Half cat-demon/angel/elf/Orc/fox-goddess junk.) I want you to be a sane, regular race.... a mix of two races is Ok. And please, the only races really wanted are like humans and elves (if you have something else, I'll think about it). NO DEMONS, ANGELS, MONSTERS, TALKING HORSES. >< Be reasonable, plz! Oh, and if you're evil, I'll tell you what you can be. =P You'll have more choices there^^ But this better not also let everyone want to be evil!! scream
