Welcome to Gaia! ::

UPDATED - More Info, including future plans for the RP, please read.


Welcome to the World of Vyrin.


Let me tell you a little about this place, its a troubled world, raped by man and brought under the whip and collar of industry....the Six elementals have long since forgotten this dreay world. turning thier merciful attentions to other, more worthy projects. Theology of this world was always a little strange, rather then an all encompassing god as seem the trend among the cosmos, the world was created by six elemental beings

the elemental of water

the elemental of fire

the elemental of earth

the elemental of air

the elemental of light

the elemental of darkness.

it was said that in the beginning, there were only four, they created the world, its oceans and mountains, pristine forests and bleak desearts....then they attempted to create man, combining each element in small amounts to create a physical form, but the body was a shell, a meek puppet without a soul or sliver of drive.

the elemental of light then came, its breathed into this husk new menaing, a soul if you will, giving it the will to create and maintian.

then the elemental of darkness took a hand, giving man desires and wants, and the abilty to do violence.

This is how it has been told.

Vyrin was a beautiful world....it still is if you are brave enough to seek it, the only place that is safe from the vicous predators that inhabit the world is the cities....and even there you best watch your back.

the rulers of this world are the Conlcave, a group of nigh omnipotent humans blessed with psionic powers, the most prominent of these is Shaylen, the high egoist herself. she has ruled over the conclave for milennia....how she keeps herslef sustained noone really quite knows, but as they say...eternity is a harsh mistress, who hardens the heart and twists the soul.

the world is an advanced one, gone are the threats of disease and famine, genetic engineering long ago snuffed out the last plauge.

ah genetic engineering...this worlds little perosnal sin, call it a life saving procedure or playing god as you will, your words will fall on deaf ears here.

speaking of the high economey, it has spawned something...that for good or ill, changed the face of the world forever. fully nine out of every ten humans are born psionically capable, that one percent are considered lesser beings, but yet are still human, the Psions needed something faster, stronger, more agile then humans, but just as easily controlled.

Thus the Myrrans were born.

a fledgling genetics firm, Genotype 7, made a promise to the Conclave, it owuld produce a single living intelligent spciemin for thier approval....with sufficent funding of course. the conclave agreed and the work began.

they did something so simple it makes one want to cry, they spliced the dna of psionically null humans with animals, they exploted the traits of both speices to the fullest extent, and thus the first myrran, a Feline human hybrid, was born.

with its sucess Myrrans were soon being churned out in a made to order fashion, some prefered a soldier, thus they would engineer is dna with something physically powerful, such as a bear or a reptile, some preferred myrrans of a more carnal nature....thus the dominace of feline dna.

but all in all, the most dominant dna types are feline, for its cunning and amazing reflexes and senses. and Canine, for its unflaging loyaty and its pack oriented mind made them excellent soldiers.

the first problem to arise was obvious...myrrans and psions were not fit to live together....so the high egoist decided that the earth was meant for the lesser beings, and thus summoning the power of the strongest of her race....ripped the cities from the earth and suspended them among the clouds.

in the wastelands that remained, the myrrans and norms carved out an existance for themselves, myrrans were marked at birth with barcodes that identified them, and wheather they were owned or a 'natural' Myrran, born from two same speices adults. removal of the tattoos was punishable by death.

the only other race that occupys this world would be the Jin kazar...and honorable sollem race of hidouesly monsterous people. they are quite bloodthirsty and wholly xenophobic, killing anyone who stumbles into thier volcanic strongholds without question nor quarter. they are massive creatures standing on average seven feet or more, and look for all the world like demons, masivey built in both male and female, they have long twisted black horns that arch from thier browlines over their heads, fanged maws and forked tougens, thier eyes burn iridecent reds yellowes and oranges that are visable in the dark. theur skin is the color of blood, and covered in vital areas by heavy black plates of bone, and massive batliek wings extend from thier backs, their faces though...are like that of alabster starures, vicously beautful. they are fiercely intelligent and are on a tenitieve peace witht the Conclave, essentally, they stay out of thier mountains, they dont reduce every human city in the world to ashes, as they are natural pyrokineticists.

now in this world a struggle for power has begun, Myrrans are getting tired of beign orpessed, and the legend of the Tanar'shael, the psionic myrran, are beign perpetuaed, the opressed want a savior...but the question in the world is now and has always been...

Is Humanity truly only skin deep?



Ok this is the recruitment thread for this roleplay, ill require the following info to be posted here

A breif profile, name, age, etc, plus a description and a breif history.

Also, to avoid the potentil for powergameing, i would like a description of your most potent Psionic power if you are a psionic human.

and if you are a warrior, an RP post of you facing a equal opponent

these will be forgone once i finish my thread on character classes, upon which we will switch over to that system of roleplay, i will allow moderate history changes to existing characters if a class you read about seems appealing.

a few notes about this world

NO JIN'KAZAR! these are my psedo-villians, and since this will be a mostly city based RP, they would be a silly choice for a character, since they are killed on sight.

NO PSIONIC MYRRANS! Myrrans are bred to be psionically null, so they can be subjigated and controlled, there WILL be a single psionically capable myrran who may be able to pass thier ability on to others, but they are a NPC controlled by ME, if you dont like that, tough.

ONLY THE RACES I LISTED HERE! if ONE person comes in wanting to be an angel/demon hybrid, you can piss off, and hope the door doesnt hit you int eh a** on the way out, this roleplay is supposed to allow for a degree of great yet controlled creativity, if you want to play a freak, choose a myrran as your race and mix up a few DNA types, like a Tiger/human/Wolf, the idea behind the engineering is that they use a generic DNA 'bridge' that allows naturally incompatable DNA types to cross over and exchange protiens and chromosomes.

I WILL ADD A LIST OF FIREARMS AND EQUIPMENT! this will come later after i hav worked out a few things, so dont walk in saying you have 'bullet proof spidersilk armor that is paper thinand can stop a tank round' because that may or may not exist in my world.

I WILL ADD A LIST OF BASIC AND ADVANCED POWERS. Psions work off of a set of disipcles and powers that can be maniplated and used creativly, i will create a list of basic powers and a list of ways they can be used in advanced ways.

Alright, thats all i have for now, enjoy.

good idea, i just copy/pasted this at something like four in the morning....the thought of rewording it didnt even cross my mind xd

ill do that.

Very nice, but a few minor changes i think you need to make;

Myrrans are considered less then human, and soliders are only Gentechs, Gentically 'optimized' humans, they would not allow a myrran into such a role.

you COULD be a member of a myrran underground fighting force, there is a rebellion in the works, or you could be a personal boydguard for that family that owns you, but since you are not a pureblood human the Psions wont let you join the Armored Core.

Just fix that and it would be perfect.

[ Message temporarily off-line ]

i want to get at least six people other then the two NPCs ill be playing, Baalia and Eliath, ill post thier looks here when we start, but as for thier abilites, well you'll have to find them out for yourself. wink

Ok. ^^

Yeah, people! Join!

Name Ryan

Age 17

Race myraan lion.

a short description
Ryan is short with a compact and musculer with tawny fur. he has a rather feline looking face and a long black mane. He wears loose black jeans with two large dagger's on each hip. His eyes are a deep green.

A breif but detailed history.
Ryan grew up in a small
village close to a large settelment of myraan people taht was rather close to settelment of Jin'Kazar. unfourtnetly a group of farmer refused to listen to the village council and enroached on the Jin'Kazar terriotory and they wre slaughtered. but it didnt stop there they invaded the village and killed evryone in it. fourtenitly Ryan and his father had been in the city selling pots his mother had made. Upon returing to the village Ryans father was devestad and asked him for realese. ryan did so he reached into his fathers memory and removed all memory's of his mother and himself. Ryand returned to the city as a young man and made somthing of arep for him self as a body guard never know ing what became of his father.

if psionic, your concept of your most devistating power, this is a failsafe to prevent powergamers.
Ryan can reach into somone's mind and rip away thier memory's it can be perment it can be temporay. He can remove speciicmemorys or all.

if a warrior, a breif paragraph of you confronting a equal opponent, another failsafe.

oh good I am sooo tired can I convice you that I wont god mode in the slightest?plaese I am really tired and if you need it I will write it later.

also give me a occupation, and place of residence, this will be taking place in the capitol cities of Psylin. in the capitol city slums.

Alright, Fish, its all good except that Myrrans are Psionically null as a rule.
