Welcome to Gaia! ::

For future references...No, I did not spell the name wrong. It's the name of a city/town/village. And, no, it's not based off the books...It's based off a game.

The world is being taken over by miasma. Monsters are setting camp closer to human settlements as the myrrth used to purify the crystals that grant protection from the miasma fades. Each year a new caravan sets out to hunt for the myrrth needed to live. Each year a caravan fails to return. From a village fondly known as Twilite, a mix of four races - Selkies, Clavats, Lilties and Yukes - set out together to get their village's chalice filled with myrrth.

The Clavats are biologically similar to humans and are a very peaceful race. They are generally farmers or ranchers. In the present day, a majority of Clavats live and work in the fertile Fields of Fum, providing a majority of the world's produce. Clavats are only confirmed to be capable of interbreeding with Selkies and Lilties. Their emblem is a crystal with a wing seen in profile, similar to the ones on the heels of their shoes. Clavats' main advantage in battle is their high defense, which makes them good for being able to withstand powerful enemies. They fight with swords, and use shields as their race-exclusive armor.

The Lilties are a proud, stout race of warriors and knights. In the past they ruled the world in an empire, founded off the weapons forged from materials of the Cathurigian mines. Even though their empire is now gone, the Lilties maintain the roads built then, and form patrols to ensure the safety of the towns and caravans. The Lilties are the shortest race in the game, as an adult Lilty is noticeably shorter than most other characters. The Lilties also have a unique, flower-like appearance, which is perhaps the source of their name. Their emblem is a triple-pronged spear with two banner furls. Of the four races, Lilties are the most powerful, starting with a naturally high attack stat that lets them do heavy damage. They are inept at magic, and take the longest time to cast a spell. They equip gauntlets as their race-exclusive armor, and use spears as weapons.

Selkies are taller than Lilties, around the same height as Clavats, and usually have silver, blue, yellow or light purple hair. They are a rugged race that dress in furs and stolen goods, and are mostly thieves. They usually put their own interests first and are often scorned by the other tribes. In the past, the Selkies were under the control of the Liltian Empire and migrated from their ancestral homes to search for a safer place to live. They also seem to have been more culturally developed than in the present. They had their own language, and modern Yukes are studying Selkic texts on the Miasma, suggesting that they had lore of their own. It is said that they come from the sea. Their emblem is a stylized Selkie dancing, kicking, or jumping. It has two arms raised up, and one leg to the side. Selkies are the speediest of the races, and can take enemies down with a hit-and-run tactic. Selkies' race-exclusive armor is belts, and as weapons they use rackets.

Yukes are tall, slender creatures with helmets that cover their faces most of the time, though it is mentioned by a scholar in the game that Yukes may lack physical bodies and only have souls. They also have long, feathered, striped arms, and small, vestigial wings. In the past, the Yukes were the only tribe not to be under the control of the Liltian Empire. They achieved this by being sieged on the island of Shella, aided by their magic. In the recent past, they built the Veo Lu Sluice, which diverts Lake Shella into the Jegon River and enables the high fertility in Fum. A majority of Yukes live at Shella, teaching magic to others, but they still retain their aloofness. A non-Yuke can enter the city only if they have a Mark of Shella, which can be found at the Sluice. Their emblem is a stylized Yuke seen head on. Yukes are powerful magic casters, but are weak physical attackers. Their defense is possibly the most useful, as it makes them immune to all physical and magical attacks. Yukes use hammers as weapons, and their race-exclusive armor is helmets.

Yay, no one's here!

Created, open for role-playing.
Oh, not everyone is automatically in the caravan, if they don't want to be. For instance, you could have been out of town or taking a nap when the ceremony happened.

Just because you can edit my main posts doesn't mean you should >.>
For future references, please put all profile additions and changes go by me.
You're not in trouble…this time.

Mah mah mah mah...Alright, I think we have too few people to be going on an "adventure" that's supposed to be majorly huge...So, if you think you're up to it, you may have up to four characters, one of each race. Want more than one of a race? Well, too bad, so sad. Don't come crying to me.
June 20th, 2009
Hey, some people are becoming inactive. When we have so few people, that's a bad thing, right? Yeah, it means we can't Rely on them, then hings get boring. So! The help that, I'm now assigning Ghost Writers to people who are inactive for at least a week. They may ask for someone themselves if they must go out and cannot attend to their character.
June 30th, 2009
I'm going to edit the profile set up....I'mma gonnna add a weapons's section, and if you chose one other than your fists, it should be in your character pic, mmkay? If you already have one picked out, that's fine, you can keep it :3
July 14th, 2009
Huh...I wonder how many people actually check to see if I update this page. Oh well. So! I've decided to add puppet masters, and for those inactive people that refuse to help keep this as to what i'd consider alive, i'm just going to see if anyone volunteers to pull their strings. If not, i'm gonna do that. So, yeah, the Puppet Masters are added.
July 27th, 2009
Well, puppet masters are out. And now I'm going to start making this thing shorter, page wise. Old charrys have been deleted, unfortunately before I decided to take note on them. Oh well. So, yeah, I've started making this into a story, too. Writing it down so I may edit it later. Blah Blah Blah. enjoy.

"Being daring could get you killed. And if you die and you put yourself in danger, how would anyone know if you were suicidal or not?" Mae said, starting to get a little impatient with Raiden. "And, if you want to join, maybe I should make you do a test?"
