I've had this idea circling around Gaia for a while, and I've been adding to it with every time I repost it. It's rather old, but I think it'll do for a guild first.

Myeathra is a futuristic city that is up in the sky. It runs very similarly to any other city, except for the fact that it produces it's own necesities. The people live below the surface to create room for agriculture and the like, but it's very futuristic. Contact with other cities is common, but going down to the surface is forbidden. Second, I will allow vampires, werewolves, or other races, so long as it's not over the top. No gods/goddesses with full power or anything like that. The races are in hiding, so I expect you to try not act too much like your race. Oh, and if you want to make this a bit more fun, see how long it takes others to figure out your race without you telling them. I like the idea of vampires and werewolves, but I'd rather not get overrun with them, so, please, one of each race if it can be helped.)

Myeathra, the first city in the sky, but not the last. After the world became nigh unlivable, the human race took to the skies. This was the first to launch, and it set a benchmark in history.Now the entirety of humanity lives above the ground, but at a disadvantage. The weather is harsher in the sky, and work crews of thousands must be taught to care for the engines and substructure. So far, news of three fallen cities has reached Myeathra, and people live in fear of this happening to their own home.

Being the first of it's kind, it was woefully small, only being 20 miles across. This was including the fields and livestock farms along the borders. There were even small protected forests along the very edges, before you hit the wall.

This is the beginning of our story, where the sky and the ground touch; Myeathra.



"This could kill me..." Caryn (Rin) said happily to herself as she climbed the huge tree beside the outer walls. She knew the laws were extremely strict pertaining to the safety of the trees and scaling the wall, but she didn't mind either of them. It wasn't like they actually patrolled the woods or anything. Besides, who else would be foolish enough to climb the wall? So they didn't bother checking anyway.

This was how Rin had decided to spend her spring break, out on the edge of her world, enjoying the silent peace. And now that she was way out there, she didn't feel like returning to her boring college dorm and falling back into her monotonous lifestyle. The forests were always more like home, but she had to finish with her degree. Her mother had spent enough to buy a whole new house just for her education, besides, she'd need that education if she didn't want to end up getting drafted to the below-ground maintenance.

Rin finished her climb when she reached the top ledge of the wall. Hoisting herself up onto the six foot wide wall, she sat down and gazed out at the world below. Miles below, she saw great craters and vast fields of scrubs and brown brush. Off to the west an old broken down city lay in decay, gray and cold in the warm sunlight. The books in the library told of a time where the surface was green and prospering, just like Myeathra, but that was a long time ago.

This perch between worlds was her sanctuary. Once when she came up onto the wall, she actually saw the ocean and another time she saw one of the few green valleys left. Perhaps someday the world would go back to the way it was, but not in her lifetime.

And there Rin sat, deep in her reverie.
