Welcome to Gaia! ::

It is the year 1990, You’re dead, and it is late evening. Your funeral has ended, the sun is slowly going down, And strange things are stirring. An unnatural fog blankets the graveyard and though you are dead, you feel. You hear voices calling to you, and as you are pulled to them, you find yourself floating above your grave; staring down at it, your body or what’s left it still buried. You turn to see three people, three spirits. A woman and two men. Beside or behind each of them is a spirit representation of an animal. An owl, a mammoth, and a rat. They explain to you that you are one of their descendants, and that you have been pulled from death to serve in a war for the souls of the living. You look at your body and cannot understand why your spiritual body is ruined beyond being useful as a soldier. Your ancestor takes items from around your grave and used them to refurbish you, to repair the damages, and then they touch you and you find that you have been restored to true life, but the refurbished parts of your body remain, and as you look at your grave, you realize that your true body is still dead and buried. It is then explained that you can be seen by the living, and you can be touched by them. You are to be a soldier in the war against the Craven. The craven are foul mockeries of the human form, each resembling a human skeleton that has been twisted and ruined into the form of a wolf like creature, that humans often mistake for a rabid dog. These monsters are covered in blades and spikes, and they feed on both the souls and bodies of the living. You are told that you have been granted an additional 100 years to live before you expire and must die for good. You are then offered three paths, and must choose one. Then you are warned, “Don’t die too early…” and you are left alone in a part of the grave yard where other soldiers like you are told to gather.
