Welcome to Gaia! ::

-Story
The streets were riddled with evidence of scientific experimentation that the government had just decided to shrug off and not notice. You couldn't turn the corner without a chimera crossing the street in front of you, those poor animals that were transformed against their will into abominations against nature. These monsters came along with the introduction of all chemistry or alchemy as the townsfolk called it. It was one level up from chemistry, the level at which you not only had the perfect understanding of the composition of something but you could use electrical currents transferred from your very own body into circles to transform or reform that composition. This was all within the laws of conservation because you could only use what you already had; you could not make or destroy anything. You could just sort of play around with the stuff. It was meant to help people, to help recreate flesh and bone that had been lost from stepping on land mines that were scattered and left behind after the war of 3094. It was successful but then people started to learn to use it for creating things, bad things. It's been sixteen years after that war and alchemy is illegal all throughout the world but people in small neighborhoods or far off country side villages that had no one to enforce the law could use alchemy whenever they wanted and with no shortage of material. The state of Geofried hasn't enforced the laws in these places because they want Ancient Alchemist that need circles and Eager Alchemists that have no need for circles. They train children into Alchemists from the shadows and since these areas are not inspected by the Anti-All Alchemist Association, they become training grounds. The state of Geofried wants the Alchemists in the military to take down a long standing rival, the state of Omakaiza and the few young Alchemists that find this out are either killed or captured. Non military Alchemists are more common now but still only a few at a time are noted. None military Alchemists now have one goal, to take down and take over the corrupt state of Geofried for the better.

-Whatcha got to work with?
The state of Geofried is vast, mountainous with plateaus and vallies and forests. Very foggy weather on the east and lighter on west. Sparse, very dense and large cities.

((BTW this is a story i wrote and posted on the fiction writing part of the art arena, its titled Eager Alchemist.))

((State alchemists work for the military and hunt escaped alchemists who don't wish to work for the state.))

Character Name: Axel Blaze
Alchemist type:Eager
Alchemist from: Escaped
State Given Alchemist code name (before escape): X-Blade Alchemist
Feelings on alchemy: depends on the situation
Bio: While escaping from the squad sent to find him, he got in a swordfight with a member of that squad, his rival Aravel Black. Aravel cut off Axel's left arm and left him to die, but Axel made his way to a nearby village which happened to have a doctor who also built custom auto-mail limbs. Axel worked off a small debt and started to wander. He kept his sword, but also turns his left arm into a sword. His nickname, "X-Blade" comes from his signature attack, the "Blazing Cross" which leaves an X-shaped cut on his opponent's chest.

Character Name: Aravel Black
Alchemist type:Eager
Alchemist from: State, then Escaped
State Given Alchemist code name (before escape): Darkwing alchemist

Bio: Worked for the military alongside Axel Blaze, before Axel's defection. after Axel left he personally led squads to find him, and when they first met as enemies, He cut off Axel's arm. After the second fight with Axel, he discovered that his brother, who was a stste alchemist, was killed by a state squad, for the false crime of assisting escapees. Aravel then left to find Axel, secretly defecting, so he could hunt his brother's killer.

((yes, i was hoping for more people though. whatever))

Orcus laughed to himself as he hunted down one of the escapies. He turned a corner and there was The Mountain Summoner ancient alchemist with his circle ready. Orcus was taken by sirprise but took off at the alchemist. The Mountain Summoner touched the circle and out of the ground came small, perfect cone shaped mountains that were more like spikes. Orcus jumped up and was careful to not touch the tips of the spikes, he reached the alchemist and dodged the two spikes that he sommoned on either side. "You have me in a good position. Unfortunatly for you, the mountains destroyed your circle." The alchemist looked down and noticed the breaks in his outer circle, he knew there was no chance and gave up.

Axel Blaze waited in the tree for the second squad sent after him. He knew Orcus wouldn't be in this one, he was for the high profile cases. Axel heard voices and slid back a little, trying with all his might to conceal himself. "She's this way! Let's get her!" he heard a guard shout to the rest. "Just great, they found someone else. I gotta warn her, and quick." The X-Blade Alchemist quietly climbed down and took off in the direction the guards were headed, trying to find this other alchemist in time...

Maria cleaned the rock off again, looking up fearfully when she heard voices. They'd found her, after she'd taken all the precautions she could. They'd probably found her camp too, just a little way off. Putting the chalk back in her pocket, she glanced around wildly, seeing only trees around her. She ran over to the nearest one, jumping to grab a low branch. Her feet kicked against the trunk as she scrambled up. She climbed until she thought she was high enough, then took a rocket from her pocket, throwing it in the opposite direction of the voices.

Axel stops when he sees a girl stuffing something in her pocket. "Hey, over here! Quickly, before they get you!"
