Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ok, this is a story i've been working on... lol. i'll post the Beggining (it'snot all done) then the chars and then the powers, to give ya'll an idea on the plot.

Way back, in the times of castles, swordsmen, wizards, and dragons; in the land of Camil. A demon was born, but not the way most demons are born. This particular demon was born from the power of "the crystals". The crystals are gems that have the power to control a particular element, or a particular skill. These gems could make even a baby into one of the most powerful warrior. The gems harnessed the power of: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Alchemy, Time, Darkness, Light, and Mimicry (copying). After being born the demon devoured the gems. He then used their powers in attempt to take over the world.

Now, the human-like tribes (consisting of human, elves, and were-humans.) did not wish to be ruled by anyone, especially a demon... The tribes decided to use their most powerful relics, the oracles. The oracles were powerful, they were able to cancel out the power of "the crystals", but the nine oracles had to be gathered together, and used at the same time to cancel them out. The Elves, Were-humans, and humans elders entrusted the oracles upon nine powerful warriors within each of the tribes. The warriors were successful, and defeated the demon. After the great demon (soon after named Althroy) was slain, the gems immediately disappeared. It was believed they were destroyed, but they were merely stripped of their power for the time being. They hid themselves.

For a thousand years the gems disappeared, regaining their strength. They were never seen, until now. Nine children were born, all within a day. They each had special "markings" on their hands and feet, each having some symbol in it referring to the power of the gems. People thought the new borns were possessed. Hidden within these children, were the gems. These children were bearing the power of gods. The children showed no sign of being able to control elements, or even any special strength. The doctors thought the gems were stripped of their powers from the fight one thousand years ago. So they decided to take tests of the crystals, even though they were forced deep inside the children. The tests only scratched the power of the gems.

The children lived happily with their families for the next fifteen years. Now, the gems have been activated, by some strange force. Some how, the gems can sense that something is going to happen. Also, the scientists that have worked on the gems powers (the small examinations taken from the kids when they were young) have made a break through. They have recently been seen. They seemed to be using the experiments to make "fake crystals". With these crystals they have made an army, and are slowly training the soldiers in the elements. There are still a few in this world that still practice magic, mostly the eleven kinds. More people still practice sword work. But those wont help, only the real gems can save the world now. It’s up to these kids… what has this world done to itself…

Characters.

1. Gem of Darkness > Kogru Klow, male, Elven tribe.

Kogru is a young male, from the elven clan. His entire family was killed when he was four other then his sister. His sister then moved him and her to the Human Territory, a town called "Cryslano". Since then they have been living there in piece. Kogru is usually kind-hearted and easy to get along with. If you don't know the boy you may think he is calm, and pretty shy. He has his own view on life, which he has no problem saying. He does as he wishes and cares not what others think of him. He has few friends. His only REAL friend is Anastasia. He and her have been friends since he moved to the human territory. They both have the markings of the gems. He has black hair, with red edges/ He usually wears black or blue jeans, with a black hoodie and a red undershirt. He uses twin blades, which are on his belt that is unusually around his waist; he also fights with kunai, a weapon that usually are referred to the weapons of the ninja. He carries two pouches that are on his belt. He has the markings of the god of death.

2. Gem of Water > Anastasia Arapelli, Female, Human Tribe

Anastasia is a pretty normal girl. She grew up in a normal human town called "Crysalano", and had mostly normal friends. Until she met Kogru, who gave her a whole new view on life. He was, of course, one of the only elven children in her town. She has a very low temper, and is usually very nice; but she has a side that only a few have seen. When she gets mad, she gets scary. Her hair is a lighter tint of brown, and her outfits change each day. She fights with a metal staff, and has the markings of the water goddess.

4. Gem of Air >

5. Gem of Alchemy > Prince Sigol Camil

Prince Camil is the prince in the land of Camil (no surprise?). He was born into riches and luxury. He isn’t much of a prince though; he always runs off and ignores his fathers orders. He isn’t much of a team player, he acts like a tough guy to much. He is always putting himself and others into danger, but surprisingly has not gotten anyone or himself killed. He is trained in most of the weapons, so he can fight with any of them. He has the symbol of creation and destruction.

6. Gem of Mimicking > Damian Jaramia

Damian is a normal kid; he has many friends and loves to be around people. He acts a bit girly sometimes, but no one really cares much. He is a good looking young man, and knows it. He loves to wear tight fitting clothes to show himself off. He fights using a mixture of a sword and bow and arrows. He has the symbol the mimic.

7. Gem of Time > Izabella Kentel, Female, Half-breed (elven & human)

Izabella's dad was human, and her mother elven. Her parents got married in an elven village, and stayed there until Izabella's mother was murdered. Her father then brought her to "Crysalano". Since then she has been playing herself off as a human. She did look like a human, well everything but the ears. She had semi-pointy ears. Her ears are the only things that show her elven heritage. She gets along with just everyone and loves to party. She fights with anything she can get her hands on, swords, a knife, a rock, etc. She has the symbol of Time.

If you wish to help me name the chars, please tell me. So. I am planning on using a few friends’ characteristics (maybe even names) for the characters. biggrin

Powers!!

Darkness: In the beginning, while still training, you will only be able to maybe bend shadows, and use darkness to your advantage. You can also transport yourself from within one shadow, to another. Giving you great possibilities for attack strategies. You can also use these abilities to actually HIDE within your opponent’s shadow! That's the one place the person won't look, and a persons shadow is the person best mate, the shadow follows him/her everywhere. Once you begin to train more, and begin to master your powers, you will be able to turn your shadow into an ally, making a duplicate of you. The shadow of course, will be controlled. Also, you will be able to put a "Shadow Shield" up, it is a shadow that basically comes p around you (and your allies if wished) and become something like a shield. As a master at darkness, you will be able to bend shadows to the point where it is pitch black in the middle of the day.

Water: In the beginning of the water element you will basically be able to bend water to your please. Turning it into ice for a swift attack, or using it as a healing source. Water, after all, is a very useful magic. As you proceed in training you will begin to be able to CREATE water. Being able to make a shower of ice, or a swift water fall appear from above your opponent. You will also be able to bend water into a huge shield, to protect you from harm. You may also enchant your allies’ armor, or weapon, with ice/water property, making their attacks/defenses more affective.

Fire: While training in the essence of the fire gem you will be able to bend fire. In the beginning, unfortunately, you will need fire somewhere around you because it takes a while t learn how to create fire from scratch. But in the beginning you can make a small candle fire, into a ball of fire. As you progress in training you will learn how to create the fire by just simply snapping your finger, or making some kind of special move. AS in the water, you may enchant your allies weapon/armor with the element of fire. But in this case it would help a bit more in the offense sections. This way, when an opponent runs into you, your armor with harm them with the element of fire. But don't worry about yourself; enchantments will not harm you even if you touch the fire yourself.

Earth: While training earth, you learn to move earth/earthly objects. In the beginning you will be able to move the earth, but not much. Earth is like water, equally strong in offense and defense. As your training progresses you will be able to make a hail of earth spikes rain from the sky, or from under your opponent. You will also be able to move earthly objects, like trees and bushes. As you begin to master the element of earth you will be able to move stronger earthly objects that are not fully earth. Like steel and cement. As in the other elements you can enchant your allies armor/weapon with earth, but it will make them a bit harder to move around in... but your defense will be good! And if you can swing your weapon, can we say splinters?

Air: While training in the element of Air you learn to bend the very air around you. Making yourself able to move like the wind isn't just an expression anymore! As you progress in this field you learn to use air as a SHIELD or attacking. Creating a blast of air powerful enough to knock your opponent to the floor, or block a hail of arrows. While progressing you will also learn to create LIGHTNING. Strike your foe down with a strong bolt of lightning! Make their hair stand on end!

Time: Well, it's basically telling you right there. You learn to bend time; it's one of the hardest gems to use. Time isn't something you really want to play with unless needed. In the beginning you won't be able to do much, maybe slow your opponent down, or speed up an ally. But, as you progress you will be able to stop time itself. Unfortunately, while time is stopped you will not be able to harm an enemy, and only you are not frozen in time. This spell is basically only for escapes, taking your allies out of the range of battle. While training you will be able to use your weapon better. Making one swing have the speed of a thousand, increasing the time just around your item, so it swings a lot faster and slams into your enemy at least twice as hard.

Alchemy: Alchemy is to create something, but with the loss of something else. While learning alchemy you can turn normal things into normally found items. Like dirt into a rock wall.

eh... guess no one likes it... i guess i'll just stop writting it...
