Pass it on...
"The four elements that had ruled over the earth for billions of years have a story that shouldn't be told." An old voice spoke and coughed. "It is said that the story is something the girls thought of as a my-"
"What girls papa?" A little voice chirped.
"I'm getting there, I'm getting there." The man laughed as he cradled his granddaughter in his lap. "The four special girls..."
Once every ten million years, four maidens are born with an incredible power. The power to control one of the four elements. However, there's a catch. They cannot use this power; they only carry it. Many dark creatures seek it, and the maidens who carry it. This power can only be used once the maidens have married. Though, that is another peculiar thing. It is no ordinary marriage I speak of. It is a marriage of the soul, occurring only when the maiden completely succumbs (one way or another) to the creature who finds her. All four maidens must be married in order for the power to be at it's strongest and most potent. It is about what they decide. Can these four maidens soften the hearts of their captors before their power is unleashed? Or will misery be their fate?
"What does... Does... S-su..." The little girl tried to figure out how to say the word. She was having a hard time.
The old man laughed. "Succumb? Ah... Let's see how to put it..." His voice trailed off as he tried to figure out the best way to tell her. "It means to give up to someone and let them have their way."
"Ooh! Okay. What about the maidens. What were they like? Where they pretty? What where their names? What did the dark creatures look like?" The little girl started to bombard the man with millions of questions.
"Easy now." He laughed. "The maidens were like normal people. They didn't really know about their powers. In fact... They thought of the story to be a myth told by some witch. As for being pretty? Well they weren't as pretty as you my child." He tapped her on the nose and continued. "I'm not sure about their names but I can tell you about the creatures. They could look like you and me. Or be demons. Raawr." He tickled the girl who began to squirm.
"Papa!" The girl shrieked as he stopped. "I meant how did they act. I know dark creatures are normally something scary..."
"Well why didn't you say so? Some could be nice with a heart of gold. Others? Well they were very mean. They would kill someone in an instant... I think it's time you go to bed. Sweet dreams my child." The grandfather tucked the girl in and kissed her on the forehead. He crept out of her room as she fell asleep. The old man laughed to himself. The story had been passed down for the longest time always changing. As a child himself, he always wanted to know if it was real or not and what happened to the people if it was.
~*~*~
Picking up again...
It's the medieval times. No technology. Let's just get that clear so there isn't any confusion. Naturally, people live in villages and the like. The girls have no idea that the power resides in them. They all think it's just some fake story to entertain children. Well... at least, most of them do. They've all heard different variations of the stories since they are always told. Some are impressed, some are skeptical. Either way, they aren't really sure it's true.
A certain amount of people, men to be exact, know of the stories and myths. They are the one's searching for the maidens in hopes of gaining something. What do they wish to gain? Well, that's for them to know and you to find out. Some of the men are mysterious and cold hearted or kind and caring. Just depends on who you run into. Though there is one teeny tiny problem... There is often a few chasing one maiden at a time. They select the specific element for a certain reason. Say the maiden that has control over the element of air has the voice of wind? Maybe they like that who knows. One thing is for sure though, they'd go to any extent to get the maidens. They aren't normal so it is pretty obvious what they'd do... Right?
Now the girls are going on through life normally while the others search for them. I leave the rest up to you my friends... Continue the story.

01: This will be at least a semi-literate role play. At least four decent sentences. I understand writers block, but it doesn't last forever. We're only human and make mistakes. So don't be bitching if I ask for a few more sentences either.
02: This will of course be somewhat mature. The limits aren't going to be strict. Romance is allowed, obviously, but if for some reason you need to go beyond PG-16, take it to the PMs. No one wants to read about that. And if you haven't noticed, I allow cussing. Just not excessively.
03: Bet you're wondering where to get the title of your PM, eh? Well, you'll have to high light this post for it and search. Good luck with that.
04: If you know you're not going to be active, don't bother to join. I want an active role play. If you know ahead of time you're not going to be on for like a week or so, let me know. I understand that school gets in the way and life has unexpected plans, but if you haven't posted for a week, I will message you about it. Woo? = subject.
05:In this role play, you will not be allowed to double up on characters unless, need be or I allow you too. I would like you to send me a sample if I've never role played with you as well as a heart at the top. You may use something from some other RP as well.
06:Sometimes I can forget things. That means I may add more. Also, size nine-ten font please.
07:Told you, I forgot something. No god-modding or Allah-modding or what ever. I will not tolerate it. One warning. After that, your out of here.
08:Rule 8 concerns profiles. Five-six decent sentences in a paragraph. Short and choppy doesn't cut it. What I say goes. Sorry if this sounds bitchy but this is semi-lit and up. If you can't handle or do this then please do not waste both of our times applying.
09:CONCERNING POSTS MADE I want you to use frickin punctuation. It was created for a reason. If you don't trust your spelling use spell check. If you can't at least get out 2-3 decent sized paragraphs LEAVE!

x--X--Star-Ferns--X--x Name: Star Ferns Age: 17 Element: Earth Appearance: A Picture Bio: Star was always good at a lot of stuff. Whether it be cooking, or planting, she excelled at it. Star was pretty enough to be a princess, or a queen, but always had her mind elsewhere. You could be talking to her one moment, then the next she'd be off twiddling about, or daydreaming about a fairytale ending. Star has, of course, heard of the latest myth, the one telling of the four maidens who had special abilities. Star believes this, and when in her daze often thinks what it would be like to control and store so much energy and power.
On the other hand, Star is well known through the village, and would rather be at home, reading, rather then go watch some fight at the local pub(bar?). Personality: Star is kind-hearted, yet sometimes foolish. Star is all business when it comes to cooking, or literature, but when in a deep conversation or walking, Star is often caught daydreaming. The girl is distracted easily, and loves old folk tales and myths. She is very friendly, but still distant. Star doesn't have time for coldness or negative things, so she tries to look on the bright side of things. YourWhiteRose Name: Sarah Age: 16 Element: Wind Appearance: Sarah Bio: Sarah is the eldest in her family of 7. She has 4 younger brothers, each born a year apart from the next. Sarah's family is one that most know as a very successful farming company. They own a small shop in town to sell seeds and supplies, while their farm is used for growing and raising crops and animals to be sold at the farm. Sarah is a very big help on her farm though is sometimes looked at weirdly for being a girl working in such a man's job, yet most men look at her as the most beautiful in their village. Personality: Sarah is very caring toward her younger brothers and is always looking out for them. She is a big help on her families farm and is also quiet skilled in cooking. She can be sweet at times, but have her shy moments. She normally is very polite when treating guest and can be very tomboyish around her brothers. Nikol_Mosh Name: Fate AlloyAge: 17Element: WaterAppearance: [x]Fate[x]Bio: (coming soon)Personality: She isn't the kind of girl you'd really want to get in a fight with if you hardly knew her. People would probably advise you not to. She is a fighter and nothing of a lover. She isn't interested in boys and only really focuses on what she has deemed important. When she puts her heart and soul into something, you can expect her to go far with it. Sometimes though, she can be depressed. When she is nothing like that though, prepare to be astounded. She has the tongue of a devil, looks of an angel and manners of a well-bred high class noble. Not to mention she is a head turner alright. Arya_Svit-kona_764 Name: AriannaAge: 17Element: FireAppearance: [x]Bio: Arianna was born into a large family of glassmakers. Her parents had expected her to help with the job, but all she ever did was sit by the huge fire and watch it, fascinated. The one time she tried to make glass, she spaced out, leaving the glass in the fire and completely melting it off the stick. So her parents decided to let her do what she wanted, as long as she didn't break anything. She loves watching the dancing patterns of fire, but she is afraid to swim. She feels smothered and choked underwater.Personality: Arianna has a fiery spirit. She is full of energy and helps out wherever she is needed. She's an overall nice person. her beauty could have enabled her to be a princess, or one of the pleasure servants of the nobles in the next village, but Arianna preferred to stay where she was. She is a bit stubborn, and it is very difficult to change her mind, but that stubbornness contributes to a huge dedication to any task she is given. She is a good friend and a lover until the end.

Boys: JinxFlux0 Name: FreyaAge: 20Race: Fallen AngelMaiden Being Pursued: Maiden of WindAppearance: The One and Only!Bio: Like his race implies, he's a fallen angel. Which basically just makes him a demon. He literally fell from heaven on a midnight breeze and landed, just like superman, in the back yard property of a kind and loving family of farmers. Of course they didn't lie to him about where he came from. So he grew up, learn things, learned some more things. And then became an important figure in the chapel. And in the church is where he heard the story's and myths about the Maiden's of Power. He spent hours searching through church documents and scrolls, searching for a way to be reinstated to his former status of full and true Angel. That's where the Maiden's come in...Personality: Freya is a thinker. He isn't one to do things on impulse; everything he does and says requires thought. He has a thoughtful, dreamy nature, and is often found staring off into space or lost in thought. He keeps to himself a lot, but if you and he makes an effort he'll reveal what an intelligent and engaging conversation he can hold. Freya is a very composed person - he isn't the type to let his emotions out, or even to let them show on his face. He keeps everything inside. He is extremely patient and seems to have no temper whatsoever. He understands to the point of frightening people because he is so mysteriously good at knowing exactly how people feel and what they need to hear. His sixth sense to emotions makes him a kind and compassionate person, and an excellent shoulder to lean your head on when you're down. He's dependable and loyal and isn't the least bit shallow, but is at the same time brutally honest and will tell you if he doesn't like you. Freya has an air of loss and mystery about him that is both alluring and charming, but frightening and intimidating at the same time. Jefffy Name: Ceallach[Pronunced KEL-uch]Age: 18Race: DemonMaiden Being Pursued: Fate Alloy-Maiden of WaterAppearance: XXXXXX)Bio:
"So...Seal-ache-"
"It's Ceallach, KEL-uch."
"Right, Sea-latch. Sorry. So tell me about yourself."
"Well for starters, I'm from Hell-"
"No, really."
"... stare ..."
"Sorry, continue..."
"But it wasn't always that way. At a time I was human, living and laughing among
others like me. I was around 17 and I could remember the guys laughing about the
fact that I was still a virgin. A few of them, the ones I didn't like, set up a bet with
my friends. If I could get a girl by New Years Eve (3 Weeks away) they would give
us a car and a computer. If not, well, apparently I didn't deserve to live. Harsh, I
know, but they said it was too disrespectful to the human race. As you have already
guessed, I lost that bet."
"But, wait....You didn't do anything wrong! Why did you go to Hell?"
"Apparently I stole a blue crayon from somebody in 3rd grade and never asked for
my sins to be forgiven."
"O___o"
"After several years of living with the lost souls in the land of the underworld,
rumors started to float around. Some story about girls that held a mysterious power
to control elements, they can't use it though. I overheard a few of them discussing
an escape route so they could steal one away from earth and then maybe their
souls will be free, Satan likes power. I figured it was a pretty good idea and before
they could even stand I ran to talk to him."
"You talked to the lord of the dead?"
"Yes, not something I'll be doing again soon, tell you that. I almost died a second
time out of fear."
"So, what did he say?"
"He liked my plan, sending me out in search of one of the girls-"
"Wait, wait. Let me guess, Fire?"
"What? No, no. Of course not! Don't you think it's already hot enough down there?
He wants water, something about needing to quench his thirst. I really don't know
what he's talking about (haven't been thirsty in ages) but whatever it it'll get me out
of Hell."
"Doesn't making a dead with the Devil only make things worse for you?"
"Maybe, but I'm willing to take that risk.")Personality: Cellar (Ceallach: It's Ceallach!) Whatever, Ceallach is a very
opinionated person, refusing to listen to comments and remarks of others. This can
be good in some cases but many find it irritating. He is also stubborn and selfish. (I
am not!) Yes he is. If he finds something that can be of some use to him, whether it
be laying around or in another's possession at the time, he will take it. There is one
other important thing about him, he is Bisexual. (What? No! Not true! I'm gay.) No,
seriously. He's Bi. Gay! He just doesn't know it yet. (*Grumbles* Next time I'm
writing this myself...everyone here is such a screwup....) Nikol_Mosh Name: I have two. A human and demon. Riho Tripe versus Hiro Pirte. Riho is human so obviously Riho is demon.Age: 19Race: I just said it moron. DEMON!Maiden Being Pursued: That down to earth girl.Appearance: His demon form involves wings and claws or what not.Bio: Ian us- Yes. At one point in time he was called Ian. Lovely name right? Anyways, he use to be full human... Until he stumbled upon a demon portal. His life story is pretty cliche in my opinion. ANYWAYS! Before he pulls Hiro out on me, he stumbled upon a portal from following a murderer. Yes. That insane kid followed a murder when he was sixteen. Why exactly? I have no ******** clue. It is obvious he wasn't the smartest kid there was at the time. But, when he went in he became half demon. Radical right? Periodically, he can change into demon when he wants, but whenever something he cares about is destroyed or something bad happens he can't stop himself from turning into a demon. It's like... A second nature thing. You know how you just do it? Involuntary like breathing. How is that put for morons out there? Simple enough? Good.Personality: Usually he is a generous and kind young man. What you may call... Chivalrous or something along those lines. I wouldn't know seeing as I'm the narrator since he's to la- I mean... Not lazy at all. Anyways, that's his human side. A kind young man. Slightly innocent. Devilishly charming. RAWR! But his demon side is cold-hearted and ruthless. Seriously. He literally has split personalities. No, not a disorder... He sees it more as a curse then disorder considering the fact that this is so old school and they don't know what the hell disorders are at the time. Continuing with the demon side. He is sly and cunning. He knows what he wants and he always seems to get it. He won't care if blood is shed in order to achieve goals. Like I stated. Ruthless b*****d. It all just depends on which half you get from him. Katasaku Name: Katasaku Batu Hitai Age: 26 Race: Human Maiden Being Pursued: Maiden of Fire Appearance: KatasakuAppearance: Bio: Katasaku was born into the world stricken with disease."The Elements Bane",or so they called it. The carriers of the disease often died young due to abuse of the diseases mutations. The disease left the skin sensitive to the environment around it, allowing for what seemed to be unexplained communication with the first element a carrier would run into. Often those who suffer from the disease will burn themselves to death in a fiery inferno,or drown themselves within their own lungs. Religions started to branch off,inducting members with the disease to learn to cope with their "God given" abilities.
Katasaku was born within the mountains and ended up first coming in contact with the icy northern winds. As he grew he became more and more aware of his cursed gift. Leaving home at the age of 17 he went out seeking the Aero Faith. Those blessed with the gift of Aero often died at a very young age due to the extreme stress placed upon the body during it's use. As Katasaku learned to cope with his disease and not abuse it he started to travel the world on his own,unaware of what to make of his life. He sustained his first injury from the disease while attempting to make use of his abilities on a large scale. Severe scarring was left on his lungs, giving him a rather distinct hacking cough. As he traveled more and more he heard rumors of a "Maiden of the Fire",a woman who had complete and total control of an element. Someone that could assist with is own issues. Personality: Katasaku is very shy and often avoids conflict. He has a warm heart and strong motives, aiding the weak and the poor whenever possible. He seemed to strive off of helping others with their issues, finding it as a cure to thinking about his own issues.

~*O P E N*~
Fate was pretty grumpy. She had left the village she stayed in earlier that morning. Standing there alone in the forest she stared at nothing. Yawning, she went and looked around. The girl began to hum and sing, her voice filling the forest.
Ending the tune, she came across a river with a waterfall near her. She took most of her clothes off so they wouldn't get wet. Seconds later, she dove into the water. It felt nice which suprised her. Normally this early in the morning, it would be freezing. She looked at the bank and saw a thin layer of ice. She shrugged it off and continued to swim.
After awhile, she got bored. Carefully, she climbed out making sure not to slip. A slight breeze made her shiver. Quickly she pulled her clothes on. Humming, she continued through the forest. The sun was peaking through the trees as a hint of the first rays of sunshine. Strolling out of the dark forest, she blinked her eyes. It took a few minutes for them to adjust to the brightness.
Eventually, she stumbled across a village. Still shivering, she walked into town. She found a small tavern and walked inside. Her hair was covering an eye and she brushed it away so she could see. Fate took a seat and looked around. It took awhile for her to settle on staring out the window. With a soft voice, she started to sing a song she had made up about the legendary five maidens.
"I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
There is a legend
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And do the girls and demons truly exist?
And will they see what we see?
I think it's not to be
What will become of the girls?
Where will their actions lead them then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will they ever end up together?
no, I think not, it's never to become
For they do not belong"
She sighed and looked out the window giving up on finishing it off.
[I love the fact I just copied/pasted a lot of this stuff]
