Welcome to Gaia! ::

Three thousand years ago, long before the formation of the five nations...


The six elements were in harmony with each other, guided by six sages who worked together to bring order to the universe. These sages were reputedly so powerful that they could change the orbits of stars and move mountains at will.
But for all their power they were not immortal. The sages eventually grew old, and their power weakened. In one final attempt to preserve the order they had worked so hard to create, they sealed their power into a stone, locking it within a powerful fortress, and for a time their plan worked.

But it was not meant to be. Over a thousand years later, the beginnings of the nations had formed, and the world was in a perpetual state of war.
A powerful sorcerer by the name of Janus, seeking to obtain power and eternal life, sought out the stone. But the moment his impure soul came into contact with the stone, it shattered, scattering into six shards, thus creating the elements and innates.
Today, the six shards have long since been lost, though many have tried to find them, their efforts fruitless.

Only the five leaders and Damien Lenoir know the whereabouts of these six shards.




The purpose of this Organization is to find the five remaining shards. What Damien intends to do with them, nobody knows apart from himself.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT



Clothing-
Every member wears a white cloak with a hood. The material is light, fireproof, temperature resistant (basically keeps you warm in extreme cold and cool in extreme heat), and highly resilient to normal wear and tear. It is NOT going to defend you from any kind of attack. In addition, white gloves and boots are included.
Basic design of the cloak and boots. Remember, it is white.

Mask -
Each member has a separate, individual mask. The mask is fitted to the face on the inside, but apart from the design the outside is completely smooth and featureless, with eye holes of course. Each mask has a different kanji on it, unique to each member. This mask is to be worn at all times when conducting Covenant business.

Tatoo -
Each member has a tattoo of the same kanji on their mask, hidden on a random point on their body. The position is random so there is no way anyone could search out members based on a tattoo on a certain body part. Please state your character's tattoo position in their profile, as other members need to know in the case of potential impostors.

Smoke Pills -
In the case that a member is in need of a quick getaway, they are given a small capsule that when broken creates a large volume of completely opaque smoke.

Radio -
All members have a discreet long-distance radio that allows them to communicate instantly with each other should the need arise. There is a broadcast channel that goes out to all members and is used exclusively by Damien, and each member has a specific frequency. These frequencies are indeed completely secure (means nobody can eavesdrop on conversations), but if a bug gets planted on you, you can be heard.

Unique Ki Releases -
All members have the following Ki Releases. They are Neutral, so worry not about Innate issues. Also, they are unique to the Covenant. If you see a non-member using them, PM me so I can crucify them.

Covenant Warp Seal:
5 Ki
The tattoo serves as more than just identification; by focusing Ki into it the member can instantly teleport to their position on the platform in the Hall of Nine. It requires a charge time of one post.

Covenant Twin Divination Seal:
50 Ki per member
A sealing technique that requires both partners to perform, though Damien can use it by himself. This is to be used in the event that one of the shards is found; it removes the wards surrounding the shard and allows it to be transported. Touching a shard without removing the wards is instant death for whomever touches it. Requires 5 posts to complete.

Covenant Nine-Point Divination Seal:
150 Ki per member
This technique can only be performed when all nine members are present in the Sage Chamber. It uses the members' Ki to fully unseal the shard's power, binding it to the other gathered shards and further unifying the Sage Stone. Requires a great deal of time to successfully complete, a full day RP time.
