(Don't be fooled by the naked avatar; the person may have left Gaia, but this RP is still active. Please, come on in!)
INTRODUCTION
The chosen and her group had successfully regenerated Sylvarant, and the land was on its way to prosperity. However, Not long after, It became known that the Chosen had also joined the two worlds of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla together. Confused, the people do not know if this is good or bad. The joining of the worlds and the revival of the great tree has put an end to the need to regenerate and feud, but from the ashes of a problem has risen yet another. Upon regenerating the world, the churches of each land begun clashing, and the governments of both worlds began a struggle for power. This, coupled with the church's weakened faith over the spreading rumors that Martel was not a goddess, and the angels were just a group of Cruxis elves had caused a shock all around. Struggling to maintain control, the churches fought to maintain faith and their image. The land is still divided between two major forces, and with the two combating over many things, from Magitechnology to the teachings of each side, which, while similar, were almost opposites. The opposing lands grow more hateful by the day, one side looked down upon due to its lack of technology, and the others looked to as tyrants. Now the land is in turmoil, and threats of a second war were beginning to start....
The Chosen's group has disbanded for the time being, each going their own ways. Genis and Raine have gone out to teach those not to hate the elves, and to teach in general. Collette, the chosen, has set off to aid those in need, and help those in pain. Lloyd, now Lloyd the great, left to go gather all the Exspheres so they would not fall into the wrong hands again. Sheena returned to her home town, to start mapping and gathering data on this new land. Her village no longer supports the kingdom as much as it used to, not getting into the war. Presea returned to her home town to help rebuild, and Regal returned to his company to help those with products. He runs the most honorable and honest company in the world. Zelos has returned to Meltokio, and among his own silent works, he casually flirts around, and at the same time, works to quell the fighting of both lands. The group, scattered, works to help stop this fighting, but can they do it alone? Can they bring hope once again? Maybe they can, but new faces and ordeals might be coming into the spotlight.
So that this front page doesn't get so stretchy, I've moved the synopsis to >>this thread<<.
I recommend that you read this before jumping in, so that you have a general idea of what's going on.

NOTES:
This RP takes place one year after the first game and will play out as an alternate continuity.
This is a Symphonia-based freeform RP, meaning there are no particular plans or plot. Let's just make things up as we go along! If you have an elaborate sidequest or arc in mind, feel free to discuss it with us in our resource thread.
Though this may be a Freeform RP, it is not quite lighthearted, it is more serious. That is to say, let's keep it to the Symphonia theme and use characters that are more suited for the Symphonia world. No crossovers and characters from other fandoms. If you're going to stretch things a bit (like race, etc.), be ready to back it up well.
~RULES~
1. The Guild Rules apply. Of course.
2. You know the rules of standard RP, so follow them. Most especially the "No Godmodding" rule.
3. You may of course, use original characters or canon characters. Even Summon Spirits and monsters! But, I will ask that that you don't play a character someone else plays. I dont want two Sheena's roaming around or two Kratos, mkay? :3
4. When you're going to jump in, try to do a little backreading and familiarize yourself with the current situation so that you can figure out how to make a smooth entrance.
5. I know this is a bit of a stretch, but I am nit picky. I demand that you maintain literacy in my thread. No text talk or unreadable blabber, and try to refrain from excessive use of one-liners. Make it nice. After all, roleplay was created as a form of entertainment, as well as a way to exercise your writing skills.
6. Do your best, have fun, and try to make up your own fun, just remember not to godmod. I want plot twists, but I dont want some big boss thing appearing out of nowhere and destroying everything. This isnt Sim city.
Alright~! Go out and have fun everybody! mrgreen

Sheena sat in her traditional folded legs style, a scroll in front of her and a small stack of blank cards to her right. A brush and ink was on the other side, the brush in Sheena's hand as she painted symbols onto the scroll. The writing was a documentary of the Chosens adventure, detailed to nightly happenings ever since Sheena joined the chosens group. She was writing the final sentences, the scroll part of a few volumes to describe the journey. She smiled as she finished, the writing her job, as well as a form of meditation. She let the scroll dry for a minute, then put it up in the stacks around her. She was chief of Mizuho now, so she had a few missions to hand out, and orders and updates to give and recieve. Luckily she had appointed a few other trusted members to help her, so work was not so hard. With her extra time, she stocked a stack of cards in case of battle. Throwing cards with small spells inscribed in them. Her battle cards were of course, irreplaceable. She sighed, longing for the old adventures she had with the Lloyd and the others. Lloyd. ....The chief of Mizuho, and the friend of the heart...

After flying high in the skies for most of the morning, taking care to stay out of sight, Azriel landed atop the Fooji Mountains. The half-elf girl bore a mostly average appearance, but her striking abnormality was her wings---a mismatched pair at that. Her right wing was avian with bright white feathers; her left was leathery and structured more like a dragon's, colored black. They would often draw stares and an unsettling amount of attention, but she'd brush it all aside with the alibi that they were just a costume accessory.
She slowly paced in a circle, staring pensively in all directions over the lands as far as her eyes could see.
"It's been a while, and yet it still feels like much to take in, doesn't it?" asked a voice in her mind. To her mind's eye, the image accompanying that voice was that of herself, only slightly older-looking and bearing the appearance of an angel. Her wings were similar to that of Azriel's right wing.
"Yeah..." was all she could manage to drone out, still lost in her thoughts over what had happened to the world. The lands had changed greatly ever since Sylvarant and Tethe'alla merged. She didn't know the details of how it came to be, just that the Chosen of Sylvarant was involved in it. Even the part that she had come from, Sylvarant, felt new to her in some ways. It brought excitement to her adventurer's spirit. For most of the past year, she traveled all over the world, acquainting herself with places new and old.
What unnerved her the most, however, were the stories she heard all around from passing strangers, word of how the two sides weren't being very cooperative with each other. To her disappointment as well, she found that half-elves were looked down upon in Tethe'alla as much as Sylvarant. And to her great surprise, the well-researched in Tethe'alla were familiar with her curse too. It was fortunate that they were few in number. She frowned over that set of thoughts, sighing and looking up at the sky.
"Why does it all have to be this way? Why does there have to be so much hatred around?"
"Greed, a want to be superior, a fear of the unknown...these are things in human beings that can hardly be erased. Isn't it, eh, common sense?" another voice replied, the image behind it being that of a demonized version of Azriel, her wings bearing similarity to Azriel's left.
"Heh. I suppose...which leads me to wondering when everyone will realize how stupid it all is. But then again, they won't allow themselves to, what with all their hubris. ...Am I getting it?" She laughed a little at herself, at her naivete.
The other entity in her mind nodded and smiled. "I think you are."
She now laid herself down on the grass to relax and continue staring off into the sky, wishing that both sides would coexist someday like the light and darkness within her. They squabbled sometimes, but they were peaceful with each other overall.

"Miss Fujibayashi! There is a stranger in the mountains, close to the village! A female half-elf. We dont think she knows of the village." Sheena sighed as the messenger appeared, delivering the message. She stood. "Probably a traveler. How far off is she from the village?" The messenger, an old friend of Sheena's, nodded. "Just three miles off." Sheena nodded. "Thank you, Orochimaru, Ill check it out." She stood, both of them vanishing at the same time. Sheena was soon near the girls location, eyeing her with a small telescope from afar. She was in a tree, about ten yards from the girl.

(( surprised Apologies if I seem to just drop off for a long while, I'm kinda multitasking. ^^;; ))
The dark one within her began to make sniffing noises. It was in her ability to sense other presences that way, "smelling" souls. It was an ability she used to seek out the remorselessly sinful for her own ends...
"Hmm? What is it, Oscuro?" she asked, rising to a seated position.
"Look alive, Azriel. There is someone else about...but not someone to worry too much about. I sense no ill intent."
She scratched her head and looked around curiously, standing up. Oscuro's senses soon pointed her in the direction of Sheena. She stared intently, but could not see anyone there. She knew someone had to be there, though, as Oscuro's senses hadn't failed her yet.
Cautiously, she began stepping toward the tree.

Sheena, using a ninja trick to veil herself, peered out from behind the leaves, her purple kimono would be a bulls eye in this forest if it became visible. The girl was getting closer, and Sheena veiled herself better, preparing to surprise attack the girl if she made any sudden movements. She tensed, waiting to drop near the girl and make her introduction. She doubted this would become violent. The girl didnt look like she meant to attack. ....The chief of Mizuho, and the friend of the heart... (Is ok. I am too. About 5 threads and two guilds to work on. :3 )

Sheena's trick was very effective, for now Azriel was directly below where she was and looking up, but she still couldn't see anyone. Still, she could not shake the feeling that that had to be the spot. Not like she was losing any more face if she seemed silly to any passerby; after all, she was talking to herself earlier.
Scratching the back of her head in puzzlement and squinting as she peered more intently into the tree, she called out, "Hello?"

Looking at the other summon spirts, was a relief. The whole world almost ending, really did scare me a bit. But now, we can relax in the new world. Who knows what will happen next. I then ran my hand through my hair, looking at all the summon spirts once more. It was weird, after 4000 years of being apart, we were all together again. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I quickly turn around to find Efreet, the summon spirit of fire standing... or floating behind me.
"Celsius, is something the matter?" He asked in his deep tone voice.
"Nah. It's just... weird you know? Seeing everyone again. I know it's been awhile since we all got together, but, it just reminds me when we were with Mithos." Just then I heard someone yell... someone yell 'Hello.' It wasn't Sheena's voice, or anyone else who we met on our journey. Who could it be?

Sheena leaped down, behind the girl. "Do not go for your weapon." She warned. "What brings you up into these mountains?" She asked, trying to sound demonding. Her summons could appear at any time, but summoning them herself took a bit of effort. The summons mostly just had to choose when to appear, or Sheena would have to charge up to use them in battle. She huffed. Sheena was a slender girl, with black hair tied up in a ribbon at the back. Some people called it odd, but it was normal for many of her tribe. She sported a large bust which hung openly out from a small white bra beneath her kimono, also dangerously open. It was as if her kimono were to small to keep her chest in. Nobody knew why she wore it like that... "Tell me your name, and why you are here." ....The chief of Mizuho, and the friend of the heart...

Azriel's eyes expressed a slight surprise as she turned to look at Sheena. Her clothing was unrecognizable, drastically unlike many of the passerbys she had seen. She assumed that the girl was from a part of Tethe'alla she had not yet discovered, because she knew practically every nook and cranny of Sylvarant by now. Then she paled at Sheena's question. "Um. Well. My name is Azriel Serafina and..." There was only one way she could think of answering that next part. She was simply taking a rest stop after having flown for a time. That would mean she would have to reveal that her wings really are working wings, and not just some costume accessory. And for any race, real wings certainly were not a normal thing to have. She might then have to explain how she got them, which would lead to her having to explain her curse. The prospect made a bead of sweat run down the side of her face.
"Whoa, sensory overload," Oscuro piped up, wide-eyed.
"Huh?" She looked out the corner of her eye as if Oscuro was right behind her.
"This close, I can sense now that there are other beings with her. Beings that are not human, and of a higher plane...tied to the elements, maybe, if I can sense a potent darkness among them."
"And light. I can sense a strong light-aligned one. Something tells us this is no ordinary person. You might perhaps be able to be truthful, Azriel. As Oscuro said, she senses no ill intent."
Hoping that her light-self, named Chiaro, was right, she decided to come clean little by little, starting with, "Er, right. I was just, uh, taking a rest. I had been flying for hours." She smiled nervously.

Sheena calmed, lowering her cards. "Wh-what are you that you can fly? Those wings arent cruxis. You cant be one of the elves can you?" She looked surprised, staring at the girl. "Your not evil. I would know if you were." Her summons would tell her, but so far they had remained silent. She was ready to call Celcius, her most trusted summon, but decided not to. ....The chief of Mizuho, and the friend of the heart...

Cruxis...Azriel had heard the name of that organization thrown about in the rumors regarding the churches, but she knew nothing more about it than what she had learned when she was young. However, she took the way Sheena mentioned it as sort of apprehensive. It made her even more curious about the rumors she's heard, but she decided to put that thought away from her mind for now.
"I...I'm just a half-elf..." She was hesitant to admit that, knowing that half-elves were looked down upon all over, and she didn't know Sheena's standing on them. "Well yes, these wings are functional, but..." She pointed at the golden collar on her neck, which had a triangular ornament on the front; one part of it was a diamond, one was an onyx, and the last was a sapphire. "There is a strange, ancient magic in this collar that cursed me with quite a split personality complex, and these wings more or less represent them---one aligned with light, and one aligned with darkness." There was hesitance in admitting that as well, but as long as Sheena firmly knew she harbored no malice, she thought there wouldn't be too much harm in mentioning that. Curiously, she added, "I'm relieved that you figured that...that I'm not evil, I mean. The few who are familiar with this curse usually think the dark one is. But how could you tell?"

 (Sorry It took so long to reply!) Listening on their conversation, I found that the girl's name was Azreil Serafina. I couuld tell she had no evil within her. But... what was odd about her, were her wings. Why would someone have such wings? Then Azreil began to explain that it was a curse by the collar around her neck.
"Sheena, Sheena, can you hear me?" I called to her.
"I can sense that there is no evil within her." I could sense that Sheena felt the same way I did.
"I... I think we should take her to Mizuho. I know that it's not for outsiders but, I think we should learn more information about her. What do you think?"
