Welcome to Gaia! ::

OK, the rules are very lax and simple, except when it comes to battles.

Everyone gets 1 main ability and 1 minor ability, and one main attribute example, mine are

Main-Shadow Limbs-the ability to control up to 4 shadow like tenticles
Sub-Darkness vision-the ability to see almost normally in darkness (if no light is visable at all, it won't work).
Attribute-Speed-fights with speed rather than power

a discription of what your character is like is also required. Example...mine is

A fairly closed person. Someone who remains calm and thinks things through even in stressful or tough situations. His is in total control of his emotions, a very calm and emotionless person...or at least it seems that way.

Normal chatter and whatnot is free roaming, you can do w/e you want

DONT'S!!!

-no controlling other peoples characters
-no double posting

---------------------------------------Fighting-----------------------------------------

-Everyone starts at level 1 (including me)
-Whenever you take an action against another player, both players roll against eachother. Rolling is as follows-

-Both players roll 1 20 sided dice, and add their level
-Bounuses are added for the following
-- +5 to roll if it involves your main ability (i get bounus to attack if I use my shadow limbs)
-- +2 to roll if it involves your sub ability or your attribute
--bounuses are stackable, example, if I make a quick attack against someone in the shadows using my shadow limbs, i get 5+2+2 for a total of roll+level+9

-The winner of the actions gets to choose the outcome of the action
-It takes 5 successful blows to get someone into a helpless position where you can make a final roll to kill them, the person being targeted has to take a -5 penalty on their roll or be killed.

-If you don't reply to an action roll within 48 hours, you automatically loose the roll, killing blows is limited to 24 hours.

If you kill someone, you get xp=to their level
Your level is determined in the following simple equasion
(current level+1)+experience needed for previous level
After you level up, your xp is reduced back to 0

This makes it so the higher level people have more people targeting them, while at the same, leveling the lower level new people, making it more balanced.

---------------------------------------Setting-------------------------------------

The setting is in a post medieval times, when civilization is starting to develop, the current leaders are corrupt and bent on using the new civilization to make their own lives easier (you can choose to side with them). However an underground faction is building up to rise against them and make the world a better place for everyone. This faction is still not organized and has no leader, and no name, but there are people willing to fight for the cause (that would be the other half of us).

I don't really care who joins who, or how it ends, let it be an evolving RPG!

height 5"4
Name: Wynter Riesling
Age: appears 18, real age unknown
Occupation: Unknown
Allies: N/A
History: **EDIT** Was born into an outcast society full of half-breeds, Wynter was born as part human-part vampire. The only vampiric parts of her are her pale skin and fangs. She cannot live on blood, she must eat and live like any other human Can't remember anything past her family's death just before her 18th birthday. Since then, has been diagnosed as bipolar, emotionally and mentally scarred, paranoia, flashbacks common which induce weakness, vomiting, and in extreme cases blackouts. Wynter ran away from her old life and has been wandering ever since. She has been roaming the country for 2 centuries now, refusing to have contact with humans, searching for the sign of the inhuman thing that slaughtered her family.
Mental State: relatively stable, but flashbacks and paranoia will cause problems e.g. outbursts, uncontrollable rages, deep depression, hyper-activity

umbra hears something that sounds like water faintly in the background he looks around and spots a young girl sitting at a table slowly falling asleep while playing with water "strange" he mutters under his breath and returns to his drink after a glasses of what ever hes having then begins to hear snoring as the girl falls asleep "i wonder..." he mutters he gets up and walks into his shadow then walks out next to the girl and sits down drinking waiting for the girl to wake

Umbra jumps back a few feet and raises his blade. When he realizes she was simply waking up he lowered it. "sorry" he says in a dark voice that seems to not have a hint of emotion in it"it is a natural reaction for me now" Umbra sits back down not wishing to draw attention to himself and lowers his head so the only thing that can be seen is a small smile frozen on his lips.

I do not even turn my head, I take a drink, and tell you that my name is not important.
