Welcome to Gaia! ::

Life is a mystery but death is all the more mysterious. Powers of God and Lucifer are at war. Their battle is not fought in the heavens or the pitts but down on Earth. When it comes time to die, Humans may tear his soul from his body freeing himself of his mortal coil and ensuring his eternal existence.

These unattached souls became known as The Fallen. The Fallen are souls of beings who’s time on earth should never expire; however, they are not able to retain a physical body. The Fallen are not quite ghosts but not living either but the soul would gain great power based on their actions in life. Good, honest people would be granted powers of valor and virtue and evil people would be bestowed powers of darkness and chaos.

The realm they live in is known as Purgatory, the eternal battle grounds. In this realm the armies of good and evil are at constant conflict. The one safe haven in this realm is The Garden. A massive structure hidden from the living. It serves as the gateway to heaven, or hell for the departed souls not chosen to remain in Purgatory for the war. The Garden also serves as Headquarters to the Astros, Fallen who are servants of good and virtue. Here Fallen warriors of all over the world gather to accept missions in the name of Heaven.

You are dead! Were the events of your death peacful or tragic?. . . but those etheral powers have been able to keep you on Earth, but your deeds in your life have left you changed forever.

Age: 19

Race: Human
Hieght: 5'5"
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Blonde
Build: Athletic
Bio: Alivia lived a simple life and stayed true to her morals. She worked out everyday, went to work, ate healthy. She was your typical person. However when her death came she never knew what would be instore for her when she reached the 'other' side. It was just a simple robbery in which she resisted and got a knife pulled on her. What was waiting when she opened her eyes was something she never did imagine. The Garden was a beautiful sight and as she was explained what was going on her new purpose materialized inside of her. She knew what she had to do and took the reponsibility with great pride. For if it wasn't for chaos she may still be alive today.
Weapons: Alivia did take weapons class to keep in shape. So she well trained with a sword as well as any other bladed objects. She can also handle a gun quite well.



NPC's can be created by anyone for their story-arcs. They will be treated as main characters and will be subject to the same criteria as User characters. (must have an affinity and be [Astros]/[Chaos]) To create a NPC post a small character skeleton [Name:<>, Affinity:<>, Astros/Chaos:<>, also include a very short bio sentence] on the first post the character will appear in and I will add it to the list. (Characters that only appear in a few posts don't constitute a NPC submission. You may use them and lose them at your choice.)

Until membership increases NPC's will be controlled by either panterajunkie1692 [for Astros]or Fira_Gal [for Chaos]. Feel free to send a PM to panterajunkie1692 with any questions or concerns for any of your active NPCs

Gaia username: xXUchiha_ItatsumeXx
Character name: Perra
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Astros/Chaos: Astros
Affinity: Water/Ice
Race: Dragonborn
Bio: Perra grew up in a small nomadic tribe, the Radiant Scales. Durring the aftermath of the war of the Gods, the different dimensions started converging on one. A brave Dragonborn who was a couple years older than she named Thava, set off on an adventure with some odd looking beings, and was never heard from again. As Thava left, the rest of the tribe packed up their camp and moved on to a new area. Perra was used to this, packing and moving for a couple of days at a time, and then setting back up somewhere new. A couple days after the tribe got settled into a new area, there was an ambush on the camp. Just narrowly escaping death, or so she thought, Perra vowed to herself and her God, that she would find the worthless scum who did this. Shortly after vowing this, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her skull.
Weapons: [x]
Description: Standing 6'8" tall and weighing in at 250lbs, Perra is the last of her kind. She resembles humanoid dragons. She's covered in scaly hide, but doesn't have a tail. Her hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand. Her eyes are gold, and her scales a brilliant scarlet. She has very fine scales over most of her body, giving her skin a leathery texture, with regions of larger scales on the forearms, lower legs and feet, shoulders, and thighs. She wears scale armor.

Rose followed after Ahna, taking a few extra steps, feeling the whisp of air as Ahna slashed her scythe, making a rather large wall of ice, it was rather impressive, but the charging Astros didn't slow down in the slightest, he knew what he was doing and Rose never underestimated anyone, know matter what they looked like. Her hand had moved suddenly to her katana, as Ahna made her dodge backwards, Rose had appeared between them with her katana blocking the path of the Astros' blade.

Rose's golden eyes glanced over at the woman with a trident and then looked back at the Astros she had clashed with, her face was expressionless and didn't change in the slightest. As the rush of water was released from the trident, Rose slammed her knee into the Astros' stomach and pushed him back by pushing her katana up. Using a strong wind, she lifted herself to avoid the water. "come on...step it up a bit" she said in a bored sarcastic tone. She glanced back at Ahna and smiled slightly.

The fire Astros seemed to focus on Ahna as the water Astros charged Rose. Ahna just dodged every attack, graceful and taunting making the boy fight furiously swinging his sword whenever she was close. Every time it was just another ice double, exploding into shards that scratched the boy. He didn't seem too experienced, of course neither was Ahna, she just had the experience of killing hundreds of people for Lucifer. "Can you seriously not hit me?" She said adding sarcasm to her voice an action she could remember but not use emotionally. This seemed to anger him even more, "you bloody ice demon I'll rip you to shreds and burn you where you stand!" Ahna stared at him," I'll melt silly boy, not burn, and then your fire will go out," at this Ahna actually did melt revealing that had been an ice double too. The boy looked around anger again in his eyes,"where are you, don't hide from me, come out and fight you coward!" Ahna laughed from somewhere hidden, "aren't you tired of being a good boy, of having to do what you're told." The buildings began to freeze, Ahna's voice acting as a trigger to freeze anything around her. The Astros light his sword, creating a warming blaze, his eyes scanned the area, looking for the source of the freeze. "Boo," was all he heard before he was encased in ice. His flaming sword would eventually thaw him out giving Ahna time to asses a different enemy, something she had never seen before...a giant lizard. "Hello, are you friend or foe?" Ahna hoped this was another enemy, but with the strange creatures of Purgatory sometimes it was hard to tell.

((ugh...block sucks!))

Violets tears darkened speckles on the ground as she cried in desperation. She looked back towards where they'd come from. A faint orange glow lit up a section of the horizon. Her desperation only increased as she thought of what might be back there. What might be pursuing them. Rivell still hadn't so much as moved since he passed out from the over-powered firestorm he'd used to save them earlier. His breathing was labored as his chest shuddered with each draw.
"What should I do?" She said aloud as she reached for Rivell's hand. Upon lifting it off the goblin's skin throw, Rivell's hand clenched, embracing hers. The first reaction she'd seen. Simultaneously, a light fog rolled in from seemingly nowhere. Before long it was hazy enough to prevent seeing very far into the grounded cloud. Violet recoiled, still clutching onto Rivell's hand.
"Who. . .Who's there?" She shouted into the fog.
A large figure slowly darkened in the distance as some sort of quardraped creature approached.
"Stay back! Stay away from us!" She shouted again. The shadow didn't react to her statement. It's approach was slow but continued. Violet shut her eyes tightly as it closed in.

A soothing and maternal female voice rang in her head. "Do not fear me, my child. I am a beacon in the darkness, seeking purity and valor." Shocked to hear another voice, in her head of all places, Violet opened her eyes to gaze upon a white mare standing regally in front of her. The horse lowered her head and nudged Violets cheek. The gentle touch healed Violets anguish and Violet wrapped her arms around the creatures neck, still shedding tears. A spiraled horn slowly became apparent in the center of the creatures forehead. Violet gasped as she looked at the newly visible horn.
"That's right, my dear. For the maiden true and pure, I am a unicorn. For you, Ahna I am an oracle." it said telepathically.
"Ahna?" Violet returned slowly. Her eyes opened wide as the name rang over and over through her mind. "Who is Ahna?"
"You are, silly child. Poor, silly child." The unicorn continued. "The memory has been stolen from the light and hidden in shadow deep. Do not despair. Light moves through the darkness, to memory's call. Flame will lead true even to death yet light is life when it shines." The unicorn then lowered her head again and touched the center of Violet's forehead with her horn. The tip of the horn glowed with a blue-white light. The glow remained centered on Violet's forehead as the unicorn pulled back. After a brief moment the glow subsided. In it's place was a pink mark in the shape of an eight point star, each alternating point shorter than the two adjacent points. The color resembled scar tissue that often resulted as a wound healed. The mark flickered with the same blue-white color that created it before it returned to the pink color. "Shine the light. Heal the flame that leads the way and light and memory will be one once more."

The unicorn turned her head and nodded at Rivell's burned body. Violet followed her gaze to Rivell and glanced back at the unicorn. The light in it's eyes told her what to do next. She went down to her knees next to Rivell and held her hand out, palms down over his body. The scar on her forehead began to flicker and pulse with the blue-white light again as light shined from her palms. A liquid field spread from her hands in an organic flowing manner to create an oval shield over Rivells body. Inside the shield, blue-white light pulsated as the dried blood and burn marks began to fade and eventually vanish from Rivells body.
The unicorns voice echoed in her head again. "This power, you were always meant to have. The tides of healing waters can wash away the pain of the world. Memory was robbed so the waters could be blackened in shadow. This, my memory I give to you and with my mark you will keep the gift once complete." The pulsing light in the shield weakened. Before subsiding completely, the pulses turned to bright strobes flashing under the shield. The shield itself then faded and vanished. A smile slid across Rivell's still unconscious face. Violet whirled around in excitement.

"I did it. He. . ." The unicorn was gone. The only trace that she'd been there were small concentrated wisps of cloud that were working on mixing back into the rest of the cloud. Violets confused expression turned to excitement over the events that just occurred and she turned back to Rivell. With a smile she grabbed his hand again. "I did it." She said with glee.



Zephyr was in torment. His mind barely able to maintain his eye-sight while the befuddlement was destroying his physche. In his second life as an Astros, he had lived a thousand lifetimes. Each age filled with death and carnage and pain and loss. He felled equally large numbers of Chaos fallen, lost just as many allies to nothingness, and watched the reaches of the living world destroy itself with war, famine, pestilence, and death. Scelia was inexperienced in comparison but knew the archive of memories from such an ancient at her disposal created the perfect heart buffer for her bullet. As her playing continued and Zephyrs heart-rate increased the magic in the bullet began to react. It vibrated violently, adding physical pain to the intense mental attack. It was over. The added stress only served to increase his heart-rate further. The faster it went the more the bullet vibrated. The bullet reached it's capacity and released in no time.

The bullet casing shattered sending tiny pieces of shrapnel into nearby organs. That damage was nothing in comparison to what the hundred tiny wisps of air that had released from the bullet would do. They spiraled in all directions in any least resistant path as they fought to escape his body. Zephyr called out in agony so gut-wrenching all including Gorignak took immediate notice. The wisps ripped through his body and red puffs of mist erupted from random points on his body as they individually escaped. Blood speckled Scelia and her fiddle and she stopped playing her epitaph. All fell silent, as Zephyrs limp body slowly lost altitude. Blood gushed down the length of his body from his wounds and dripped from his feet as he gasped for each blood soaked breath. He folded to his knees as he touched down. Gorignak's sickening demented laugh exploded in the silence as Zephyr began dissolving headfirst into golden dust particles that floated up directly above him.

The golden particles stayed grouped together as they rose. Slowly the concentration tightened into a smaller swirling orb. Once the orb began to rotate at blinding speed Gorignak's laughing subsided and his amused expression turned to a scowl. The orb increased in speed and velocity before releasing a blast of air in all directions. The blast was followed by a blinding flash. From the epicenter of the flash erupted a eardrum shattering roar. When everyone’s vision returned to them a dragon at least forty feet long floated in mid-air. With a strong beat of its white angelic wings it bounded and clung to the rocky cliff side housing the goblin camp below before releasing another roar. It was primarily white but had a main like ridge of golden hair running from the back of its slender head to the tip of its serpentine tail. All four of its appendages were equally strong with a powerful four finger claw at the end of each. Each embellished with a golden striped pattern. the lake of fire Gorignak had already started to cool and re-harden as both Chaos exchanged concerned glances. Alivia and Arrgon exchanged similar glances out of confusion rather that fear. The air around the dragon seemed to be moving constantly as he let out another ferocious roar.

The dragon vanished in a flash of light. The resulting explosion sent Selicia and Gorignak careening into each other and eventually to the ground. Once the flash subsided there was no sign of the two astros or the dragon. Nether recieved serious injuries, as such Scelicia returned to her duties at the Pitt. Gorignak would continue his search for her puppet and her escort in the depths of hell.

Zephyr, Arrgon, and Alivia reappeared in Purgatory. Their exact location was mountainous but it was uncertain where. As Alivia and Arrgon dismounted Zephyr let out a roar before taking flight. His figure disappeared as he flew into the sunlight.
"We failed, then?" Alivia said still staring at the sky.
Arrgon returned. "Rivell is alive. I know it. Right now, let's return to the garden. We have to tell Lily."
Arrgon and Alivia activated their gauntlants and were teleported back to The Garden.

((Rivell and Violet's Entrance into the Ninth Circle story-arc has been placed on hiatus as til such time as the involved members that are on leave of absence can return. Rivell, Violet, Scelicia, and Gorignak will all be inactive characters in the meantime. The thread will resume in a new thread titled, True Geist - Heaven and Hell and will start from a neutral stand point. Any storylines that have yet to be resolved will be considered concluded, details on the time-skipped events may be filled in as the RP continues.))
