Enter the land of Edar and prepare for a magical journey to save the world.
The land of Edar has lived in peace for thousands of years under the rule of the four great wizards, known as the Kinta, who control the four realms; Menal of the sky, Kemena of the land, Alu of water, and Naur of the underworld. Along with the four Mystic Gems, the Kinta have the power to manipulate all of nature. The Kinta have governed in cooperative harmony since the beginning of history, and Edar has flourished under their benevolence. But not all wizards are good. The dark lord Morheru has been plotting for centuries to over through the Kinta and take control of Edar for himself. He gave plenty of warnings, but never doubting the Kinta's power, the people of Edar never gave any heed until it was too late. Now the Kinta have been captured and imprisoned in secret prisons and the Mystic Gems have been stolen. Now, Vakha, the spirit in charge of helping to maintain the balance, Has summoned some of Edar's finest to try and find the Kinta and the Mystic Gems so that Morheru can be stopped before it's too late and the world is destroyed. * * * * * * * * * * * * #1: Story #2: Info and Rules #3: Characters #4: Character sheet and info

Info: Alright, some of the information will be given to the characters at the beginning of the guest by Vakha, but there's some stuff I'll tell you now. First, we will all be starting in the same place. Vakha's home in the Khelek mountains.
Now, this is going to be a bit D&D style. If/when you get into a battle, you will need to roll to see how you do. Unless otherwise specified by me, I'll have you roll three 8 sided die, and your success will be determined by your average using this scale: 1- Total miss, minor self damage 2- Total miss 3- Glancing blow, no damage 4- Minor damage 5- Considerable damage 6- Severe damage 7- Fatal damage 8- Instant death Defense will be determined with the same scale, 1 being a total lack of defense, 8 being complete defense, minor damage to opponent.
Now, this will be explained to the characters by Vakha, but I'm going to get into different details here. In order to free the wizards and to regain the gems, you will need Templa, magic points. Each character will start with a certain amount of Templa determined by their race and any other factors I see fit. Characters will gain Templa by either freeing a wizard, capturing a gem, defeating a magical enemy, by answering questions/completing small side quests, or at my discretion. Freeing a wizard will earn the group 150 T, a stone will earn the group 75. Other points will be awarded as I see fit. I will keep a group total, which I will keep posted on the front page.
If you have any disagreements with my decision, please feel free to PM me saying so. If you make a good case, I will be more than willing to fix the situation. I will not, however, respond to whining or bitching (forgive the language). If you want me to be on your side, be intelligent and civil in your request.
More added if needed.
Rules: 1: No Godmoding. I will be the only one aloud to do so, and only then in the most pressing of cases. 2: No grumbling about my actions. As I said, if you can give me a good case, I might change things, but since I am the game master, my final word is law. 3: Please be literate. 4: Please try and be civil, especially to your quest mates. I can understand with bad guys, but let's not get out of hand. 5: Let's try and keep this PG13. I know there's going to be fighting, but let's not get too graphic, alright? 6:PLEASE DON"T START TILL I SAY TO!!!
More added if needed.

Characters: GM characters: Name: Menal Age: Unknown, ancient Gender: Male Powers: Master of the sky realm Personality: Generally very kind, he also has a temper as fierce as a tornado in a thunder storm. Appearance: MenalName: Kemena Age: Unknown, ancient Gender: Female Powers: Mistress of the land realm Personality: Gentle and maternal, she can turn as cold as a winter night or as violent as an earthquake. Appearance: KemenaName: Alu Age: Unknown, ancient Gender: Female Powers: Mistress of the water realm Personality: As changing as the sea. Gentle and cool one moment, dangerous as a hurricane the next. Appearance: AluName: Naur Age: Unknown, ancient Gender: Male Powers: Master of the underworld, fire Personality: Never exactly kind, though generally civil. He has a rather hot temper that is kept in check by his fellow Kinta. Appearance: NaurName: Morheru Age: Unknown Gender: Male Powers: dark magic Personality: Cruel and evil. He has rather a perverse sense of humor and finds delight in destruction. Appearance: MorheruName: Vakha Age: Unknown Gender: Female Powers: Lesser elemental control, apparation, more to be revealed possibly Personality: Gentle and wise, Vakha is responsible for helping to maintain balance. Appearance: Vakha 1, 2Others: Gaia Name: Neptune Bride Name: Huan Lote Age: 28 Gender: female Race/Breed: inu (dog demon) Powers: Weapons: teeth and claws, carries short sword given her by Vakha Pets: she is almost a pet herself^^ Personality: Generally happy and playful, she is very loyal to her friends and particularly the person she bonds to for her "master". (see extras) She has a great disliking for humans though. Also, don't get her mad, because then she turns into a pit bull. (not literally) Bio/History: Huan was born a tame Inu, and so was destined to a life living with a "master". Unfortunately, though most Inus pick good, kind masters, Huan wasn't as lucky. At first, the human she bonded to was pretty kind to her, but as time went on, he became mean and cruel. He beat Huan viciously and treated her like a slave. Few Inus would ever dare go against their master, and Huan is no exception. As horribly as he treated her, she still stood by him. Then one day, Vakha showed up. She saw how poorly Huan was being treated, and so took her away. For the past several years, Vakha has been Huan's master and Huan is much happier with her kind master. Appearance: Though she looks mostly human, she has the ears, tail, eyes, teeth and claws of a dog. The fur on her ears and tail is white, and the fine layer of fuzz on her skin is mostly white with a few dark markings like a husky or malamute. Her human hair is about the same coloration as the rest of her. (maybe will have picture eventually). Extras: There are two different kinds of Inu; wild and tame. Wild Inus aren't necessarily wild, but they have no connection to other races and instead form packs with their own kind. Tame Inus, on the other hand, have bound themselves to a member of a different species. Unless this bond is broken, the Inu becomes that person's life long companion and willing servant. Base Health: 20 Base Templa: 50 Gaia Name: sab ip Name: Lillth Age: 16 Gender: Female Race/Breed: Elf Powers: Future Sight (costs 2 Templa per vision, unless otherwise stated) Weapons: Bow and Arrow Pets: None Personality: Mostly calm and quiet, but gets angry sometimes. She does not have many friends, mostly enemies. She is always alert and up for a fight. Bio/History: She came from a rich family, but suddenly her village had an epidemic and she was the only one who survived. She left the village and wandered the lands, she was chosen by some one and is now searching for the Kinta. Appearance: [x]Base Health: 20 Base Templa: 60 Gaia Name: DemetriaSky Name: Tenma Age: 15 Gender: Female Race/Breed: Human/Neko Powers: None Weapons: Anything and everything. Tenma carries many hidden weapons at a time, and if need be she could make a feather into a weapon. Pets: None Personality: Tenma is the silent but deadly type. Though she may not talk much she is always listening. She shows little to no emotion at most times and she will absolutely anything to get the job done. She isn't into self-preservation. If she is gonna get beat up is is going to put her all into it so she can, hopefully, take them down with her. Bio/History: Tenma was born as a pair. Yes, that means she had a twin. A twin brother, Tenshi, to be precise. The duo grew up in a milling community out in the middle of nowhere. Their father, Mugoi, was the town leaders, simply for sanities sake. Mugoi helped keep everything in line, set boundaries. Their mother, Uiuishii, was a seamstress. She would mend the clothing of the locals in exchange for goods, such as food and fabrics. Tenshi was intended to follow his father's footsteps, while Tenma was to become the next seamstress. Their parents plans were short lived when the children's individualities and strengths began to show. Tenshi was a 'home-town' boy. He enjoyed the simple things in life and had no problem helping his mother work, even though it wasn't the most 'manly' thing to do. Tenma, on the other hand, showed her strength as physical and mental strength. She strode ahead of all other children her age by leaps and bounds. So, their parents reversed their plans. Tenshi would be more than content to work in homely matters. Tenma, on the other hand, was sent to a teacher, many miles away, in order to learn the way of a warrior. This man was her father's teacher long ago when he was learning to become the village leader. She was sent away at the age of five. The journey alone was the first test. Five long years Tenma worked with her teacher, Ichigo. Now at the age of ten it was time for her to return home. She has learned everything that could be taught by one man. The letter clenched in her hand and a rare excitement danced in her eyes. She was going home. She couldn't even remember home. She had exchanged letters with her family many times over the years, but finding a messenger daring enough to give her the letters was a difficult task. After all, the path to the training facilities was a fairly treacherous one. Upon reaching the village Tenma came to discover Tenshi, and Tenshi alone. Her parents had been killed by an illness that wreaked havoc on the village. Now it was time for Tenma to take over. Unorthodox, yes, however it was all the more necesary. The thirteenth year of Tenma and Tenshi was a painful one, to say the least, for the duo. They both had been drugged on night, Tenshi so he could be captured, and Tenma so she wouldn't get the way. Unfortunately it had worked. The men captured the unconcious Tenshi and Tenma had been little hassle, though she did manage to kill a man. Killing the man had done her no good. Now she had no informants. Tenma was now to spend her years on the road. Even though the search for her brother seemed futile. She placed her most trusted man in charge of the village, Kyoshima.

Character Sheet: please PM this to me Gaia Name: Name: Age: Gender: Race/Breed: Powers: (if any-2 at the most, subject to approval) Weapons: (if any) Pets: (if any) Personality: Bio/History: Appearance:
Races: human elf fairy sprite neko (cat demon) inu (dog demon) others-subject to approval any combination of the above. Just don't get too crazy
After you send me a profile and I approve it, your character will be assigned starting health and Templa points. Health will start at the same base, then be increased/decreased due to strength, injuries, and so on. Templa will be based on race and powers, with humans probably starting with the least. But don't let that stop you from being one, there may be other benefits later.

Reserved Alright, this is where I'm going to keep useful information, like plot updates every few pages, the group's Templa, and anything else I think might be useful. If you have any suggestions of things to add, please feel free to PM me the suggestion. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * Alright, we are officially open. Also, I have created a map of Edar. At the moment it is completely crudtastic, and I don't think the quality will ever improve, at least not for a great while. However, the amount of info on it will. As of right now, you can kind of decide if you have a specific area you want your home town to be in. The dark brown mass toward the top is mountains, the light green mass towards the bottom is lowlands. The light brown below that is beachy type area. The two medium brown marks are large caves. The town mentioned by Vakha is the little pink dot with yellow righting to the left of it. Any questions, just ask. Thanks Map

Over the millenia, the Kinta had been known to sometimes take leaves or go into hiding without notice. But Vakha was sure this wasn't one of those times. Something just felt wrong. The entire world was slowly starting to fall out of balance.
Within a day of her first noticing the situation, Vakha had her confirmation in the form of a note from Morheru. It was rather long winded and more than a bit rude, but the basic gist was that he had captured the Kinta as well as the Mystic Jewels. He had imprisoned them and had no intentions of releasing them.
"Old fools." she thought to herself of the Kinta. "I told them over a century ago that Morheru was no good. But would they listen to me? Of course not! Well, too late for that now. I suppose I'll have to summon a questing party. I'll have them meet me in Doltal."
(Alright, kinda a cruddy intro, but it gets us going. Things will be better once we meet up. So OPEN!!!!)

Lillth was walking on a muddy path when suddenly, she had a sight. She was talking to Vakha and a group of people in Doltal. Seeing this, Lillth turned around, walking towards Doltal. " What is this all about?" she mumbled to herself. In a few days, she got there but the streets were busling with people pushing her around.

Tenma stared around the bustling streets of Doltal. Where was she supposed to go? She had recieved the message a few days ago and had arrived promptly, earlier than most people would have been capable of traveling. Now there was one more leap, find Vakha. Then she would know everything.

Vakha could sense two of people she had summoned. They were in the city. Using her crystal ball, she located where they were and in what direction they were headed. "All right then. Huan, dear? Could you come here for a moment?"
Huan had been watching all the hustle and bustle down below through the window of their hotel room. When Vakha called to her, her ears perked up. "Of course, M'Lady." She hopped off the chair and scurried over. "What can I do for you?"
Vakha smiled gently at Huan's perky temperament. Well, I don't think it would be a good idea to send her after Tenma. She may only be half Neko, but... no sense in taking chances this early in the game.
Bringing up the other girl on the crystal, Vakha looked at Huan. "Huan, I need you to do me a favor. Down there in the city is a young elf named Lillith. This is her," she pointed to the image in the ball. "I need you to go and find her and bring her back here, alright? While you're doing that, I be collecting another member of our team. We'll meet back here, alright?"
Huan studied the elf girl in the crystal, then nodded when she had her face memorized. "Sure thing. You can count on me!"
Vakha chuckled. "I know I can, Dear. Alright, go to it then. I'll meet you back here." Waving her hand to 'turn off' the crystal, she went over to the closet, retrieved her cloak, and left to find Tenma
Vakha walked through the streets of the city, using her powers to help her hone in on Tenma's signature. When she finally saw the young woman walking down the street, she got a block ahead of her, then covertly turned and waited for her to come past. "Hello, Tenma. I believe I may be what you are seeking."
Huan had recognized the area that Lillith was walking in, so as fast as she could, she made her way there. It was difficult to find her in the crowd, but eventually, the Inu's sharp eyes spotted the elf girl walking down the road. Running up beside her, Huan smiled. "Hello there! You're Lillith, right?"

Tenma stopped infront of the woman. A small smirk played on her face as she looked her over through the corner of her eye. It hadn't been very long. For that she was thankful, she had no money for food or lodging, so the longer she was the there the worse off she was. "I was wondering when you would come get me." Tenma muttered quietly, ready to follow the woman wherever she may lead her.

Vakha smiled. "I'm sorry if I took longer than you expected. I had to send my assistant to retrieve another of your party. And, unfortunately, Huan doesn't posses my magical ability for sensing life forces. But I'm here now. So, shall we?" She motioned toward the road that would take them back to the hotel. "The other two should be returning shortly."

Tenma, still with a smile playing on her features, nodded curtly and followed a step behind Vakha. Tenma's eyes darted back and forth, taking in every detail of the crowded streets. It was a habit of her's. Plus it was part of her training.

Lillth saw the inu running towards her and said, " Vakha's your master, right? " She had seen the inu in her sight. " Wonder if there are others looking for the Kinta, " Lillth thought to herself.

Vakha looked at Tenma with a small smile. "No need to be so on guard, Dear. We're perfectly safe for the time being." She pointed with one long, pale finger. "The hotel is just down the street."
Huan smiled. "Yes, she is. I'm Huan. Mistress Vakha sent me to find you and bring you back to the hotel. She's bringing another person there." Wagging her tail, Huan started back the way she'd come, then turned over her shoulder. "Ya comin'?"
