In the Myth...

There is a tree: The Tree of Life. This tree was said to make life grow forth and cover the earth... Perhaps just a myth, and nothing more.

Few people know the truth: that scattered throughout the world are, not one, but multiple trees of life. These trees grow a fruit unlike any ever seen by man - these trees grow people. They are not humans, though may resemble them. No, in fact, they are creatures made of pure nature who closely appear as something such as a plant or bird. While they seem human, these creatures possess powers like the piece of nature they are tied to, and their blood is of the same as their respective natural force. (A plant person would bleed sap and their hair would change with the seasons, for example.)

If a human is lucky enough to find one of these trees while a fruit ripens and falls from the tree, then they and the being that comes from the fruit will be bonded forever by the tree's magic. The human will find these pure creature's powers will be devoted to their companion's protection and, after a brief kiss, the fruit of the tree will understand human speech.

The History of the First Tree

At the beginning of the world, there were two brothers - some of the first humans. Even though they were always together, they still had an emptiness in their hearts. One began having dreams that were sent from the First Tree, so the two set out to find it. When they discovered the great magic tree, one brother was bound with a child of the tree, but the other was left without a creature for his own. Time passed and, while the brother who the tree had called was happy, the other was very lonely. When he asked the tree why it didn't ripen a fruit for him, it told him he had evil in his heart and would never help him unless he changed.

Slowly, the lonely man began to hate his brother and the tree, so he took his revenge. The tree was cut down and its fruit was devoured. As it lay dying, it cursed him with an unending emptiness. In his new, empty and jealous state, he killed his own brother. When the tree child bound to the dead man discovered this, she became the new heart of the tree and buried her love in its roots. The living brother became known as the Betrayer, and was sealed away. Over time, more trees began to sprout and grow tall, and the First Tree - afraid of having what had happened repeated - scattered her kind and hid them from humans. Despite this, the young trees, on instinct, called to man in their dreams.

After a very long bout of watching, the First Tree understood that the humans had good in them - less darkness than she had seen in a long, long time, and so went to sleep. Now dormant, she didn't know the Betrayer still had revenge in mind. He seeped his evil into the world, corrupting the minds of men, turning the trees' children into cannibals, and plotting his return. Now, he is breaking free and plans to use the power of the First Tree to destroy all humans and tree children to remake the world in his image. The tree children must find the First Tree before he does, or life as they know it will end.

Trees, Humans and The World::

The trees exhibit a power that is both tied to the land, and beyond it. While their world is our own, those who know of the trees have discovered that they give off power of which can be used for human benefit. Thus, small villages have propped themselves around a few of the trees. These villages use the tree's power rather than electricity; in fact, many who have grown up in these villages don't even know that there is such a thing as electric lights, automobiles, or any of the things you and I see every day. It goes without saying that if a life-long villager was to come to a city, they may die of fright.

Humans and Children of the Trees:

They may be known as, "Children of the trees," but not all of them are children. They range in age - anywhere from 1 to 91 when they fall from the tree. And a Child won't be born unless a human is called by the tree itself.
A human that is bound to a Child of the Tree may find themselves responsible for teaching their partner about the world around them. In exchange, the Tree Child will share its wisdom and power. Tree Children and their human partners are known to develop a deep bond which has been known to result in affections being made, or sometimes even hatred.
The term, "Sharing its power," is literal. The human and Tree Child will share their powers. The Tree Child's will grow stronger, and the human may find themselves possessing super human abilities. (Nothing too drastic, though.) This comes with draw-backs; however, if the human or Tree Child grows weak, so will their partner. The pair is bound on a spiritual level, one that can never be broken. If one dies, then the other will as well and if one grows stronger, so will their partner.
Children of the Tree born from a village tree, may find themselves worshiped as a god. This can make it difficult for them to grow close to the human they are bound to, even if that human is treated as royalty, too. Still, it has been known for these pairs to become close and are commonly arranged to wed. This is the practice of picking a leader in many villages. However, it is the council of each village that normally sends the human to the tree, at times ignoring the fact that the tree calls for another not chosen by the council. This can lead to weaker bonds between the human and the Tree Child, and the Tree Child may search for who the tree was truly calling for.

Trees:

There are multiple kinds of trees - each grows in a different region. However, the type of tree has no affect on the Tree Child's personality. Each Child is grown with their own personality, like humans, no two Tree Children are alike. Two can be grown from the same tree, but one may come out kind, while the other becomes wicked. One may be tough, while the other is timid.

Tree Types:

Winter Trees: Eternally covered in snow, these trees' children are often tied to something involving winter or ice, such as snow, winter or wolves.
Summer Trees: Always surrounded by warmth, the children of this tree are tied to summer, such as sun or birds.
Fall Trees: The branches are always covered in colored leaves and the children of this tree have ties to autumn such as crows and the moon.
Spring Trees: These are always enclosed by a circle of growth and it is said if one sleeps under it, they will awake healed from injury and sickness. This tree's offspring are tied to the season of growth, such as doves and healing.
The First Tree: The only one possessing the power to speak. It has powers tied to the world itself, as such, its abilities are boundless. It could destroy the whole world and remake it. However, this would kill every living thing currently on the planet.

Location:

The story revolves around a small city known as Driftwood. Unknown to many, a great tree lays hidden. A tree always covered in Sakura petals. Known as, "The Tree of the Ancients," this is considered a special tree even compared to the others. This tree's beauty and power surpasses all the others and it is believed to be one of the first of the trees. Many desire its power or wish to make pilgrimages to it. As this rush of people and children of the trees have begun, they have found lodging at, "Open Arms Inn," which is run by an elderly couple and their grandson.

My Name Is: Jack Nickelson
My Friends Call Me: Jacky-boy
I Have Seen These Many Summers: 17
I Look Like: Jack
People Tell me this is how I act: I've been told I'm level headed and mature. Most of the time I just wanna be left alone, that isn't to say I'm mean or anything... I just like my space. Anyways, I've been raised to be hard working by my grandparents and I can't ignore someone who needs help.
I enjoy: Solitude, Rock music, Manga, and Food.
I don't enjoy: Loud Annoying People, Sappy Love Songs, Clingy People.
I am bounded to:
They grant me: Super Human Strength
Soul blade:The power to create a blade of light that can repel any darkness. The blade glows brighter depending on Jack's emotions, or the danger level.
My life story: My dad died when I was little and my mom kind of ditched me. So I've been raised by my grandparents... Well not biologically my grandparents, I was kind of adopted by them. I've helped them run the, "Open Arms Inn" since I was little. I've been thinking a lot about the stories grandma used to tell me about a magic tree that grew people and the two brothers... Because I've been having odd dreams lately. Sometimes they're about a tree covered in cherry blossoms, other times the tree is different... and feels closer.

Aside from odd dreams and running an inn my life is pretty normal. I go to school, hang out with my friends, play a few video games, and watch anime. My friends tell me I'm boring for not going out to party, or drooling over girls. I just think I've got my life were I want it. If I went out and partied, then what would happen to my grades? And if I went and found a girlfriend, then my nice quite life... Would be consumed by my hormones. Besides, no pretty girl would really fall for me, I'm the quiet guy in the back of the class who keeps his thoughts to himself. Girls like confident, funny guys, and that's just not me.

Yep my life is completely normal, nothing weird will ever happen to me. So why does this feeling in my gut seem to say, "You have no idea"? I'm normally not one to belive in gut feelings, hell I never believed in Santa or the Easter-bunny, but I can't shake the feeling that my nice happy life... Is about to fall in on itself.

My Name Is: James Dundian
My Friends Call Me: James
I Have Seen These Many Summers: 24
I Look Like: nothing more than a young researcher
People Tell Me That This Is How I Act: I’m pretty laid back, always willing to make friends. It’s hard to get me angry, although when I do, I’ll probably pull out my vocabulary on you. People tell me that I’m kind, although all I’m doing is what I think is right. I try to be diplomatic, and I don’t particularly enjoy conflicts, but I can certainly hold my own. I tend to zone out sometimes, and I am really focused on my work, though there’s no opposition from me to have a little fun once in a while. Despite my passion for my job, I won’t discuss it with you, to save your ears from falling off of course, but also because…well, that’s for me to know, and you to find out.
I Enjoy: Simple things, quiet, calm, bright sunshine, beautiful views, work, research
I Don't Enjoy: Distractions, disasters, persistent girls, conflict, unclean things/people, disorder
I am Bound To: (Will be filled out later)
They Grant Me: Mastery over energy.
Time step-James's power is works by allowing him to step out of time, in essence, moving so fast it seems like teleportation. Time still passes while James is out of the time stream, but it is minimal, a few seconds or so. To anyone on the outside, it appears that James dissapears for a few seconds. The amount of time that he can spend outside the time stream increases as he practices.

My Life Story: I was born to a middle class family. My dad was a researcher and my mom a science teacher at a middle school. We weren’t a very close family, but my mom and dad did try their best, but they always seemed to be busy. So I occupied myself, studying more about science. It intrigued me, and I made my way through high school excelling in it. I studied in the town of Silverstone, a pretty mountain town with plenty of gorgeous scenery. We had a lot of painters and writers move to Silverstone.

Later, in college I majored in bioengineering. I fell in love with a remarkable and brilliant girl, but in I have recently moved to Driftwood, where some important research is taking place. My research is very very important to me. While I’ve been in driftwood, I’ve felt…compelled. It’s a very beautiful place, but the feeling and the reason don’t quite match up. I when I’m not doing my research, I often wander the streets, trying to reason out these feelings. I like spending time at the Open Arms Inn as well, although I never stay for the night there. It’s an Inn with a rustic feel that I enjoy. I try to avoid places with girls though, they seem to be a little too interested in me. I tell them over and over that I’m not interested, but I don’t think they’re taking it to heart.

And then those strange feelings again…I think that somehow…if I find the source…they’ll help me immensely with my research. I work for the military, and well, my work is vital to me. Now if only, if only…

I guess the art of flirting is over my head. So, yeah, I even if I was good at flirting, it wouldn't work. I'm just "one of the guys."

So, anyway, Robbie and I do everything together until we go to college. He went to Ivy league for nano technology and I went to a state college for anthropology. I want to be an archeaologist so bad, it's been my dream since I was seven. I'm going out on my first excatation soon in a place called Driftwood.

My Name Is: Sidley Blackmen
My Friends Call Me: Sid
I Have Seen These Many Summers: 16
I Look Like: Sidley
People Tell Me That This Is How I Act: Everyone always called me a Coward. I have always been scared of my own shadow. Still, Uncle Tom tells me I'm kind, and noble, and do what's right. He even says he thinks I could rise to any occasion. I'm a bit of a book worm and tend to day dream a lot.
I Enjoy: Books, all they amazing sites of the city, dogs, helping people, fresh fruit.
I Don't Enjoy: Loud noises, the dark, big mean people, people getting hurt or picked on, or freeze dried food.
I am Bound To:
They Grant Me: The ability to heal small wounds, both on myself and other people and to harm.
My Life Story: My whole life, I've been a coward. Everyone in my village knows it. "Look, there goes Sid no courage" or, "Hey there scaredy Sid" pretty much haunted me my whole life. You'd think it'd only be the children talking like that, but even some adults even make fun of me. I suppose it's because I never do anything about it. They see I'm weak and jump on it.

As if being a coward isn't bad enough, I'm also skinny and short. All they other boys like to beat me up, or hang me from trees to laugh at me because they know I'm not strong enough to fight back. And I have no parents. That's right, I'm an orphan.

I grew up by myself with the Village council occasionally checking to make sure I was still alive. These people never gave a damn about me. No matter how hard I tried to be what they wanted, they just ignored me, or treated me like dirt. Some people were always kind to me though. As I got older, I even found out some girls found me cute... Though they didn't want anyone knowing because of who I was.

Just when I thought I'd hit rock bottom... I started having the dreams. When I told the council, I thought they'd send me to go find the tree. Finally, someone who wouldn't make fun of me, or call me a coward. Someone who would love me for me. But I was silly, of course they picked Bruce, everyone loved Bruce. Except me. He was always the meanest to me. Uncle Tom... The man who basically raised me, said I should be the one to go, but the others just laughed at him. Now I came to Driftwood, hoping to find peace, but the dreams keep coming. Of a girl, looking for someone. I often wonder if I'm who she's looking for, but then I think of how silly that'd be. No girl would want to find me... I'm just a coward.

Before I left for the forest I was told that I'm distant but that could just be because I spent my time alone.

My Life Story: I was born into a pretty normal family. My parents owned a bookstore in the town of Driftwood and we lived on the edge of the town. Every day while my parents were at work I would wander into the forest, marveling at its wonders. At school I was top of my class even though I really did not care for it and was sort of an outcast. Instead of hanging out with friends I just continued to spend my time in the forest.

One day I found a small rundown cottage in the forest hidden far from any path. I spent the next few months fixing it up and once I finished school I said goodbye to my parents and went to live in the forest.

I've basically become a hermit, living alone away from others, acting as the forest's protector. Most people in the town I think have forgotten about me or just consider me a legend. Since moving out here I feel that something is calling me but I have yet to find it.

My Life Story: I live with my parents, though our house is further out then the others. My parents are easily irritated with me, because I like to push myself when I know I shouldn't. I'm clausterphobic because when I was little, I wandered away from my house, strait to the woods. I found a system of caves and wandered in them, but when I couldn't leave, I became panicked. It took three hours for them to find me, and I have been unable to stay in small spaces for long after that.

Some people say I'm pretty, though I have never been able to get close to people because I'm an oddball, always saying strange things that cause me to get weird looks. I like to wander the forests, though I get heat exaustion easy and have to carry at least three water bottles on me when I go.

My Life Story: As a tree child, she was bound to her tree until someone came to her, as she called. But even so... once, when she was outside, resting against her tree, one villager from her town, of course a little child, came up and directed the sun's srays at her using a clever piece of a mirror.

I Fell From the Tree and Am Now About: Nineteen and one third

People Tell Me That This Is How I Act: If Madeline could be described in one word, it'd be crazy. Tainted just enough by the Betrayer, Madeline's dark side drove the good part of her mad. She enjoys watching chaos, she enjoys causing chaos. Death fascinates her, as well as anything related to it. Madeline likes fun and excitement, and will do everything in her power to have fun - no matter how sick and twisted her definition of fun is. She is known to have random bouts of giggles. However, she is incredibly loyal, and if you somehow gain her friendship, she'll like you for life. Just never, ever get her interested. That would be very, very bad. Things that interest Madeline usually end up being tortured.

Sometimes, she can even freeze time, however that takes it toll on Madeline faster than anything else. Though, given Madeline's personality, she seems to have all her power's affects to be temporary. After a span of 24 hours from when she altered the time, whatever it is will revert to what it was before Madeline altered it. It is unknown even to her if she can permanently alter something's time.
My Life Story: Madeline comes from a village tree. When she began calling her human, ripening, the village council chose someone else to pick her. As she was tainted by the Betrayer, and the man who bound to her was incredibly cruel, Madeline went berserk. As the connection between them was so weak, when she killed him, it had hardly any affect on her. After his death, Madeline searched the entire village for who she was meant to be bound with, killing anyone in her way. When she found that no one in the village was the one, she destroyed the village, killing everyone. The only thing that survived was the tree she had been born from. As she kissed her birth-tree goodbye, Madeline left the charred remains of the village, in search for fun, chaos, and the one who she is meant to be bound to.

The wind picked me up and I arrived at the tiny town in a pleasant spring breeze. The people there had never seen a child of the tree before. The most wise among them took me in. His name is Thomas. He knew that staying in the town would cause termoil, as people would try to harness my power over the winds, so we traveled about. He died one night, peacefully, I was very sad. I was sixteen. He told me that night that I should go to a place called Driftwood. So, that's where I'm headed, dancing all the way.

If you are my trusted friend, you have an ally and I will not turn on you... unless you deserve it.
I Enjoy: Flowers, the color yellow, calmness, and, of course, spring.
I Don't Enjoy: Fear, Weeds, and aggravating people.
I am Bound To: (Will be filled in later)
I am Tied To: Growth and Healing. I can cause people to be sick - I don't think I can make people die yet, just pretty sick. Likewise, I can cause heal people. I can only make plant things grow at the moment, but I'm practicing.
My Life Story: When I dropped from the Spring Tree, no one was around. While I was growing up, I spent a lot of my time alone and grew very quiet. When I learned about humans, I wanted to find the one who I was bound to. I search, but I am curious about those who are like me, Tree Children. When I stayed in a town for a few weeks, wrongly thinking my bounded one was here, I concluded that I didn't mind being around humans, although I did not like being around the sick. So I continually search, and search, and search, wondering all the while what will happen next.

The Voice Inside My Head Is: kirara_the_nekomata
My Name Is: Hazel Wolfsbane
My Friends Call Me: Wolf
I Fell From the Tree and Am Now About: 17
I Look Like: Hazel Wolfsbane
People Tell Me That This Is How I Act: Hazel's personality changes depending on her mood. Often the way she acts would be considered odd by a normal persons standards and at times she can be lazy. She either does not completely understand the concept of personal space or chooses to ignore it. Also she has developed a fondness for wine and other alcoholic drinks that she takes from the town.
I Enjoy: Dusk, Metal, Autumn and Winter,
I Don't Enjoy: Summer and Spring, extreme darkness or light,
I am Bound To: (Will be filled in later)
I am Tied To: The moon. Hazel has power over the moon's light, even to the point of making it into a weapon. However like the moon itself her powers wax and wane over the day and year. At dusk and in autumn her powers reach their fullest while dawn and spring are their low points. Also thanks to her wings, Hazel can fly.
My Life Story: Hazel came from an Autumn tree deep in the woods around Driftwood. For a while she waited, calling for someone to come and when they finally did she fell from tree. However the man that had come had never even heard the myth of the trees being from a city and he fled, leaving Hazel alone. For many months she waited next to her birth tree, calling like she had before, for someone, anyone, to come yet they never did. Eventually she strayed from her tree to the edge of the forest near Driftwood but she never actually entered the town. To her it seemed that the person she was looking for was there but since no bond was ever formed with her she would not be able to communicate with him if she found him there. So she went back to her tree to wait for him to come though she still visits the edge of the forest every now and then.

The Voice Inside My Head Is: GoldenSparrow
My Name Is: Taro (Tair-o) Cress
My Friends Call Me: Tar (Tair), or T
I Fell From the Tree and Am Now About: 19
I Look Like: Taro He is tall and muscular with dark hair and deep blue eyes.
People Tell Me That This Is How I Act: Gentle and loveable. Sometimes I can be found daydreaming, although I’m actually reaching out to the minds of others, studying them. I’m charming and mysterious (because I seem to be able to comprehend people too well), and quite flirtatious. I’m rarely found to be impatient and I’m friendly. If you get on my bad side, I’m not easy to forgive, though I won’t usually lash out at anyone I dislike.
I Enjoy: Snow, nighttime, forests, women, food, the moon, and… did I mention women? I also like exploring, the outdoors, laughing and occasionally reading.
I Don't Enjoy: High temperatures, extremely bright light (it’s my weakness), seafood and being indoors for too long a time.
I am Bound To: Carissa Alnyx
I am Tied To: Winter. My original power wasn’t very strong, but over time, as I continued to live in the snow-filled area where my mother tree grew, I became partially nocturnal – the light of the stars and moon on the snow lit my way, until my power became very strong, and now I can completely see in the dark without snow. I can also see ‘through’ people, (of course, I keep this secret) understand how they work and what their motives are before I really get to know them. It can be very hard to keep secrets from me.
My Life Story: When I fell from a tree, I survived happily in the mountain forests surrounding it. I learned to explore at night, the light of the moon and the stars lit the snow that blanketed the land for most of the year. I learned to see very well in the dark, even in the time of year when the snow had melted and could no longer aid me. After a while, I ventured farther down through the forests to watch the humans in the valley below. I learned much from them, while staying hidden, and developed my power to understand others. Stretching it out, I discovered how to use it well. And now I’ve had an urge to call to someone – a human. A desire to bring her closer, to draw her to me.

Pairings.

Alright, now what we've all been waiting for. Time to list the pairings. Here we go!

Jack - Hazel
James - Madeline
Chiko - Zaza
Gigi - Zero
Sid - Gloria
Lawrence - Serina
Carissa - Taro

If anyone dislikes this, please PM me. Also, I'll need the PM for the extra power you get from the tree child you are bound to. I will then look at these and either accept or decline them. Note, one pair is two girls. There doesn't need to be any girl-on-girl going on, they can be simply sisterly. (They can be lesbians if you really want, but it's up to you. I'm not for it, but it's not against the rules either.)
