Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Great War

Many eons ago, when the world was still young, there were two governing bodies that constantly waged war over control of the planet.
One side was a Republic of the People,
on the other was the Imperial Activists.
Day after day the two powers fought and killed their own brothers, sisters, even fathers and mothers. The great war between them seemed endless.


Amidts the chaos was a small group of defactors from both sides that sought to end the war. They pleaded and begged at the hands of both powers but their calls fell on deaf ears. Again, there was no end in sight.


But one soul within the defactors decided to take action against them, a young wolf who wished for nothing but peace. Unlike his comrads, he did not blame the peoples ignorance on the war. He blamed free will. He took power within the renegade defactors and spread his word across the land. He soon gathered followers that would rival the armies of the Republic and Empire, but they still lacked the resourses to challenge them. The young wolf knew that if he was to prove his point and stop the fighting, he would need the Chaos Emeralds.


His followers did his bidding and soon, all the Emeralds were in his grasp. With the deepest malace and hatred for the world, his true ideals for the perfect world became apparent. He merged the thoughts and spirits of his followers to his own, as well as eachother. The boy had resolved himself that this was the only way to achive total and absolute peace, one mind, one voice.


With their numbers nearly doubling that of both armies, the collective set out to counquer the two superpowers. Realizing that they were overwhelmed, the 2 armies became one and combated that of the collective. There were, however, overpowerd and soon were crippled. Those who were not killed in battle were asimilated into the collective to serve their wolf master.


The remaining forces gathred for what was to be their last stand against the collective armada. Fear spread throughout the entire army as the collective crested the hill, and endless sea of warriors. The battle left the free willed souls decimated, either killed, or asimilated. With only one enemy remaining, it looked as if the collective had won, but the last remaning soul had other plans. He fought valiantly, but was utterly defeted. With his final breath, he cursed the collective leader before he gave his soul to the Chaos. Upon his death, his curse came to pass as his spirit seized control over the power of the Chaos Emeralds. He formed a 7 Pronged Seal and cast the wolf into the relm of Chaos. Those who were trapped by the collective were freed from the wolf's spell. For a moment, it looked as if the great war would spark again, but the people worked out their differences and peace finaly decended upon the land....

As we all know, the villinous Dr. Ivo Robotnick (AKA, Dr. Eggman) has had other plans, and has sought to create his own Eggman Empire. Time and time again, the Sonic Heroes have gathred the Chaos Emeralds and defeted Eggman. Undenounced to them, however, the use of those sacred Emeralds had weakened the seal upon the the ancient wolf. The seal soon became weak enough that the wolf's spirit was able to escape and become a collective consions. Though he had not the power to assume his once powerful form, he traveled the world in search of his followers...

In the tangled and metal-clad landscape that was at one point the great Egg-fleet, he found his servant. He decended upon the fallen warrior and delivered unto him these words: "You seek revenge, and I seek control. Serve my purpose and I shall grant what you desire."
The wolf granted a fraction of his power to his new servant. A metal clad fist blasted its way from the wreckage. Metal Sonic crawled from its iron tomb, transforming back into its Neo Metal from, its crimson eyes gleeming with resolve for its goal. Gather the 7 Chaos.



The Aeons

The 6 Aeons are the lord of all creation that came upon the Chaos that was the world and gave birth to all life. Each Aeon represents its own individual trait that coincides with an element: Earth/Wisdom, Fire/Power, Wind/Guidence, Water/Creation, Shadow/Destruction, and Light/Rebirth.

Though the land had been cultivated, the winds blew freely, and the waters flowed, the land was devoid of life. So the 6 Aeons gathered their strength and merged their powers as one, creating Spirit, and thus, Life. Upon this creation, there was no Aeon to control the Spirit, so life ran wild across the land. The Aeons watched as the fruits of their labor began to spoil eachother through crime, and war. They needed a 7th Aeon.

They came upon those on the land and decreed that if one among them would sacrafice themselves for the sake of peace between all races, they would accened into the heavens as the 7th Aeon, the Aeon of Spirit. With their task complete, the 6 Aeons departed for the heavens, but left 7 Gems of Power, each for their own special trait, with the world. These 7 Gems would be a gateway for those accending to the afterlife, or damned to the Relm of Chaos. These Gems would become known as the Chaos Emeralds, the Keys to Eternal Life, or Eternal Damnation.

Upon learning this, the people of the world became seperated into the two governing bodies, the Empire, and the Republic. Both sides thought that their way of government was the right way and would earn them a place among the Aeons. Within both bodies, defacting malifactors knew that their different ways would only breed more conflict. The sought to find peacfull solutions to the war, regardless of the Aeons proclaimation...

That is, Until Mephiles von Rorhek came into power...

He introduced to the world the Collective, one mind, one voice. Though there seemed to be no effects, Mephiles was gathering followers to his cause using some unknown means. He gathered an army that rivaled both the Empire and Republic. In an effort to stop the collective, both the Empire and Republic merged their armies and combated that of the Collective.

Among the amassed army was a young hedgehog, Silber Deliphinies. Though he wasn't a great general or king, Silber fought for his cause, even if it cost him his life. His time came at the final battle of the Great War. With all of his fellow warriors fallen to death, or asimilation into the Collective, he made his last stand. He vowed upon his dying beath that Mephiles would be defeted. He fought off wave after wave of Mephiles' warriors, twarting every attempt at assimilation. Mephiles could not see Silber's goal: Die in the heat of battle, rather than have his spirit assimilated. With Silber's dieing breath, the Aeons decended from the heavens and granted Silber the power of Spirit. Silber became the 7th Aeon and called upon his fellow Aeons to release Mephiles' prisoners that he had assimilated, and seal Mephiles within the Relm of Chaos.

With the 7th Aeon chosen, they departed for the heavens for the final time, leaving the 7 Chaos Emeralds as keys to the afterlife and the Relm of Chaos. Those who gathered them and were able to harness their power called upon the departed souls themselves to use them to maintain that peace that those fallen warriors had fought so hard to gain...

Over time, Silber's power as the Aeon of Spirit began to fade. He was not an etheral being, and thus could not sustain his power for eternity. The other 6 Aeons granted Silber a portion of their power, but they knew that Silber would soon dissapear into the afterlife, and thus reliquish his title as the Aeon of Spirit. The power of the 7th Emerald would be compromised and the seal that was held fast upon Mephiles would become weak. They needed to find a new Aeon of Spirit...

Side Stories/Battle System



This battle system will utilize Gaia's Dice Roll feature. Players will roll two six-sided dice. Play will be turned based with one player attacking, and one on the defense. The overall rule is simple; the player with the higher roll wins the hit. The first player to score 7 hits wins the battle.

If a battle is declared, a starting move must be determined. To do this, both players must post "starting roll" and use the Dice Roll feature. The player with the higher roll posts their attack and the loosing player must coincide with the attack and register a hit.

Throughout the battle, the player on the attack must post their attack AS AN ATTEMPT. If the defensive player rolls lower than the attacker, then they must post a response that conincides with a hit. If the defensive player rolls higher, they simply post it as a dodged, or blocked attack. If the roll is matched, the move is posted as a counter and both players take a hit.

Special Attacks

If the attacking player manages to roll a double (i.e. dual 4's) then the attacking player has the chance to launch a special attack. There are 2 types of special attacks: physical strike and freeze strike. Physical Strikes are just as they sound, powerful physical attacks. Every character has their own special attack like Sonic's Sonic Wind or Sonic Overdrive, or Shadow's Chaos Spear or Chaos Blast. Players that use the Physical Strike score 2 hits. Players can use these attacks at any time, so long as they roll doubles.

Freeze Strike attacks do not do any major damage to the opposing player. Instead, they skip the defensive players turn and scores a regular hit. These attacks include Sonic's Time Stop and Shadow's Chaos Control. During the period that the attacked player is frozen, the attacking player posts their attack as an attempt and the defending player must accept it. These attacks can only be used once per battle. Below are examples of how the battles will work.

((NOTE: The special attack is negated if the defensive player matches or bests the total roll))

These are just basic examples that illustrate basic use of the battle system. I expect players to be creative and post exciting actions. If you have any questions of suggestions, feel free to contact me.

The Festivle of Peace-Grace Maria

Known as the worlds last true sactuary, Grace Maria was the site of the final battle of the great war. Since those times, the city has known nothing but peace in its exsitance. Dr. Eggman's hand has yet to even glance at the city, and people of it praise the Aeons of Chaos for this blessing. Upon the last scatering of the Chaos Emeralds (Shadow the Hedgehog), the Emerald of Spirit happened to land amidts the people of Grace Maria. They saw this as a blessing from the Aeons and displayed it as the Holy Relic for the anual Festivle of Peace. A celebration that comemorated the end of the great war, the Festivle of Peace has been a tradition of Grace Maria since the end of the war it self. It is set on the date that the war ended and filled with signing, dancing, stories, and great food.

Now working as international government agents, Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat, and E-123 Omega have been assigned as security detail. Knowning that a Chaos Emerald would surely draw Eggman out of hiding, the government saw fit to send them to protect the Emerald...


Missing Upon The Wind

Our hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, has not been heard from, or seen since the fall of the Black Arms. Several rumors have arised in his abcence, sightings of him in Station Square or elsewhere, even few of them considering his possible death while pursuing Eggman. Needless to say, those closest to Sonic (Tails and Amy in particular) have begun a futile search for him, but even their hopes of him still being alive are starting to dwindle...

In the cataclysm that was once the mighty Egg Fleet (refrence Sonic Heroes), Sonic searches among the desbris for his dark counterpart Metal Sonic, only to find that it has broken free of its iron-clad prison. Fearing that perhaps Metal has been reborn once more, Sonic sets out across the globe in search of the menaical machine...


His Greatest Creation

Now facing the prediciment of 2 Hedgehogs ruining his plans, Dr. Eggman has returned into hiding to create his greatest weapon. Using data he has collected from his past experiences with Sonic and Shadow, as well as having obtained both of their DNA, Eggman succesfully combines all these veriables and births one super hedgehog. The Dr. dubs his new creation, Shadic the Hedgehog. By manipulating his genetic structure, the Dr. has now perfected a weapon that can think and act on its own while remaing loyal to Eggman's imperial designs, but this is only half of Eggman's true plans...


Deep beneith the planets sufrace, the symbol of the Dr.'s fearsome power has been rebuilt, the Death Egg. Nearing its completion, Eggman now seeks the power of the Chaos Emeralds to power his massive and near invincible battle station. With word of the Chaos Emerald in Grace Maria traveling about the wind, it doesn't take long for the Dr. to plan an attack. He surmises that this would be a perfect oportunity for Shadic to show his true power, and possibly rid him of his arch enemy, Sonic...



Evil in the Shadows

Upon the floating Angel Island, Knuckles the Echidna has resumed his training and his duties as the gardian of the Master Emerald. He too has heard little of Sonics whereabouts, but it does not defer him from his training. Knuckles' life has become peacfull and this tends to lead him into a sense of security. He would leave the Emerald within the shine ungaurded to seek new challenges upon the Angel Island. Little did he know, that this act of carelessness would loose him the Master Emerald...

Something came to the island that Knuckles had never seen before, a swarm of locusts. The decended upon the island and devouered everything in their path. Not sure of what to really do, Knuckles began swatting and squishing every single insect he could reach, but their numbers seemed endless. With nearly half the island consumed by the swarm, they turned upon the Master Emerald and quickly engourged upon it. Unable to fight his way through the mass to safegaurd the Emerald, Knuckles could only watch as the locusts engourged the Emerald, but something more terrifying was occuring right before his eyes. The swarm upon the Emerald melded their bodies into one, and they took the fearsome shape of the once great Neo Metal Sonic. With its deep crimson eyes upon Knuckles, Metal Sonic gave a chuckle. "Now nothing can stop my Master." These were the words it spoke as his body disintegrated into the millions of locusts once more. With one final swat, Knuckles managed to slay one of the pesky insects and took the shard of the Master Emerald it had consumed. With most of the Emerald in their bellies, the swarm departed the island, leaving it in shambles. The swarm buzzed and zipped about in their knot as they drifted upon the wind in the direction of Grace Maria. Without a moments hesitation, and the greatest fury, Knuckles took flight and pursued the massive swarm...
