What would you do if the world you knew was a lie?

Welcome to the city of Eden, The jewel of the world. Our beautiful and flawless city is where people and their families can live peacefully and content under the watchful eyes of The Protectorate. please follow the law while you are here.

Lies! All lies!


The Protectorate keep the truth from the people. they pretend the world outside is fine, yet cover the city with a white dome to hide the ravaged skies. nobody is allowed in or out, other than the Protectorate's soldiers. The city of Eden is one of the few left in the world that wasn't destroyed by the Invasion. The others were hidden in the forests, seas, and mountains. Only Eden survived being in the open.

What about these other cities? Well, there was Tatartrus, located underground in the mountainous north. There was also Atlantis, under the Nethys ocean. And of course Gaia, hidden amongst the tall trees of Talos Forest.

There were other cities, now ruins, such as the military base Pandora, or the airborne Chronos, or even the wondrous technological fortress Arc. all that remains are shattered shells of these once-powerful metropolises. The Invasion destroyed them. We had to hide for them to leave. People in the smaller villages and towns had to fend for themselves when the mighty cities closed their gates. It's been several thousand years now, and the cities are seen as omens by the inhabitants.

The world has changed... Creatures of unknown like wander the land, the people who survived had to start from scratch. Villages are barely even shadows of their former glory. Castles dot the land.

Who am I? I am Sek. I am one of those who slept. I was once a great man... I was the man who ruled over Chronos. I am one of the few who knows the truth. Those in Eden have awoken, but they are fed lies. they take trips "outside." they are plugged into a machine which gives them a virtual version of our old world. It is truly saddening that Eden has fallen so far. The Protectorate have an advantage, even though they never travel from Eden. But that will change. I will expose Eden and the world and lift the veil of the Protectorate's Blackfire wall of lies and deception, and unite this world the way it was meant to be!

Races:

The world has changed since I was last awake... Here is all I know.


Humans are the most numerous... many can be found in any town or village. they are better at adapting to situations and the environment than any other race. they rarely have any form of technology higher than a forge. these humans are lucky to live up to 80 years. Jealous of City Humans, Distrust Elves, hunt wolven and Katzen, and hate Srik. Hunt Dragons. User Image

City Humans are like regular humans, yet have total access to technology. you will find them in either the active cities or the ruins. Many of them are sleeping in cryogenic pods deep in their cities, waiting to wake up. a few have. They can live for thousands of years, aging ever-so-slowly. their leaders underwent a treatment making them able to live young until killed. They often have vehicles from their city. Ignore any other race unless it directly effects them. Distrust City Humans from other Cities. (note that the other races only know of Eden's Blackfire force, and believe all City humans are like them.) User Image

Srik are the creatures that caused the Invasion. They aren't that bad really, they just look like big scary bug-men things. the Invasion was a misunderstanding. there are hardly any of them around, and they use no technology. They are about 10 feet tall and rarely go inside. They apparently grow from seeds, and are slow moving creatures. they are as long-lived as trees. Get along well with Elves. Dislike City Humans. friendly or confused with other races. User Image

Elves are a long-lived agile, haughty, and graceful race. They avoid any city but Gaia, which they believe is sacred. Elves dislike technology. They are all ageless. Elves are also some of the best mages around. Hate City humans (except Chronos' alliance, since those cities do not touch the forests.) Will tolerate Humans, get along with Srik and Wolven, conflict with dragons. User Image

Dragons are a strange intelligent race with much power and a human form. they often hoard shiny items and are insatiably curious. They often act like know-it-alls until a City Human talks. Dragons are large in dragon form, larger than some small houses. They can live thousands of years without showing age. Admire City Humans, dislike humans, conflict with elves. Fear Srik. User Image

Wolven are a race of wolf-demons that can shift forms between wolf and human. They share many traits with the elves and have an affinity for animals. Wolven are long-lived due to their strange nature. it's not uncommon to meet what appears to be a young child, only to find them thousands of years old. Love elves, conflict with Katzen, hate humans and City Humans. Respect Dragons and Srik. User Image

Katzen Are a race very similar to the Wolven, Just lot as long-lived, since they are not demonic. Katzen rarely live past 200 years. There is such thing as a Wolven-Catzen hybrid, but such are rare and often look more like their cat-like relatives, yet share the Wolven's demonic nature. Katzen can be found anywhere there are humans (not City Humans), except hot areas, or places with water. Love elves, conflict with Wolven, hate City Humans, get along with humans. fear Dragons. Respect Srik.

Personality: Like most dragon's, he can morph, and is extremly clever. He seems not there sometimes, and most people assume he is oblivious, though he knows more then he lets on. He is more humble then most other dragons, and not as greedy(neither of these things are saying much because practically every human is more humble and less greedy then dragons). He is very calm and logical, and not much will anger him. Hardly ever does he morph into his Dragon form. He gets angrier, faster in dragon. Not only that, though he doesn't use his natural power, he is one of the most powerful dragons. This not only due to is emence power, but also that he is able to think better then most dragons can, since they get angry.

The only people who know her well are the other crew members(besides KC) & Octavian.

Nelash picked through the wreckage of Chronos City, it's bulk strewn across a large plain. He slowly moved through the shattered cryo-pods and broken bleached bones. The remains of a flying machine were scattered about him. He reached down and picked up a large, multifaceted jewel. there was a sound above him, He looked up, but saw nothing...

Sek stood alone on the Dauntless, the massive ship suspended in the air above the ruined city of Chronos. he wiped away a tear for his beloved city, his family, his friends... they were all killed when the traitorous Pandora fired their beam through the city in the chaos of the Invasion. Luckily, Sek had lived, and still had a working, intact flagship by some stroke of luck.

Morris leaned back on his chair, drinking down one of his favorite wines. All was going well in Eden... he thought.

Sequoia jumped expertly from the branch she'd been perched on, landing gracefully and silently on a larger one a good fifteen feet away. She stood and walked down it, feet soft against the rough bark. She peered down below her, her hand looped around a branch, leaning over slightly. She suddenly sprang off from the large branch, landing with a small 'thump' into the soft dirt below. She sighed and stood from her crouched position, crossing her arms at the tall fellow elf watching her. "What?" she snapped.

"Your father wants you back before the sun sets," he replied, a little faltered by her attitude.

Sek ran through his checks on the land, so different, and yet... He ran a confirmation check on every city, showing which had been destroyed. The only allies left were the neutral Gaia, which appeared dormant, and Atlantis, which seemed like it was running in sleep mode. He swiveled his captains chair an pulled some levers. He was going to the forest city.

Nelash thrummed in his native language. The gem was so beautiful. the sky blue jewel was truly a Chronos power gem, but nowadays the once-common jewels were now the rarest jewelery around. Nelash strode into the elven forest. The Srik and Elves were quite fond of each other, since the Srik were almost living telepathic trees. He was going to take this shiny little bauble to the elves. They loved these little things.

Moris brought up a screen, showing the desert surrounding the white-domed Eden. His Protectorate mechs stomped across the sand. A lone horseback rider, some traveler, tried to get to the dome. He was gunned down instantly by the hulking mechs.
PostPosted: Mon Mar 03, 2008 8:50 pm


KC and Surika wandered around the forest, not going anywhere in particular. She stopped and listened to the animals for a moment, then continued onward. She did this every now and then to check ahead for anyone dangerous, but, sensing no one, she moved along.
Yawning, she said, "Well, I don't think we have much to worry about, so how 'bout we make camp for a while?" Beside her, Surika nodded and settled into a comfy spot in the roots of a large oak. KC laughed and walked around the tree, touching its trunk to feel for the sleeping nocturnals within it.

The forest went quiet as the massive airship passed over head, a throbbing hum vibrating through the forest. Sek gripped the controls tightly, praying that the ship would stay level.

Nelash gazed up at the sound, his eyes widened in shock as the huge airship flew overhead, visible and obvious through the trees.
PostPosted: Tue Mar 04, 2008 9:16 pm



Sequoia ignored him, sprinting back before he could stop her and disappearing into the foliage again. She scowled as she ran, hopping from branch to branch. She suddenly felt a sharp emotion come from the tree beneath her. She stopped and walked to the trunk, leaning against it with her ear pressed to the bark. "Someone's coming?" she asked, though she knew it would not answer. She sighed and jumped down from the tree, landing quietly in the soft soil below. She suddenly hear a very loud humming above her. She scowled slightly at the technology, irked by the way it disrupted the trees. Machinery always made them nervous.

She ran towards the sound, but she sensed someone ahead of her. She peered carefully around a thick oak, spotting a tall Srik by the trunk of one of her own trees, a beautiful, young sequoia.

Nelash turned in the general direction of the elf. "I know you are there, the roots speak to me..."

Sek sighed as he gazed about his empty ship from the controls. It once would have had at least 20 people at all times working the bridge, but now he, lord of Chronos City, had to run around his own flagship doing every job.
