Welcome to Gaia! ::

You are a resident of Sleeping Meadows. However, the reason/back story etc, of how you got there is up to you as long as it's realistic. Example: Born and raised, married to a local, moved there as a kid. You don't have to be born and raised there, just that you are there now and have been for a while. No time travel, or anything bunky like that.

You are allowed one ability that sets you apart from your average person, a list of which I will provide prior to the creation formula. Depending on how you make your character and the power you choose, depends on what happens to you.

Your relationships to other characters are up to you, but keep in mind that it is a small town. Most everyone knows everyone on some level.

Your objective is to figure out what is causing the problems and try to stop whatever is causing it. And surviving is not necessarily guaranteed, so be careful with how you deal with situations.

Empath: the ability to feel the emotions of others around you. (Levels one through three, variance depends on character creator preference.)
--Level one: animal emotions are easily known, while humans are very difficult to read unless emotion is extreme.
--Level two: animal and human emotion easily read, emotional projection low capability. (projection allows the empath to send emotions they feel at others, even the ones whose emotion they are.)
--Level three: animal and human emotion easily read, emotional projection high capability.
Warning: High capability forces the empath to get sucked into the emotion they are projecting, causing potential harm to themselves as well as their target. However, this level of projection also incapacitates the target, causing near instant black out.

Clairvoyant: The ability to see into the future. (Two levels, variance depends on character creator preference.)
--Level one: able to see a minute into the future.
--Level two: able to see two minutes into the future.
Warning: ability is unstable in either event and can only be used once in a day. Trying to force a vision will result in exhaustion and possible bodily damage. The character has no choice on what they see, and the future is not set in stone, only glimpsing at what could happen.

Medium: The ability to sense or see spirits.( Levels one through three, variance depends on character creator preference)
--Level one: can sense energy in a room, or small location if standing in it. Cannot communicate with entities.
--Level two: can sense energy in buildings and can see entities, but cannot actively communicate. Entities can sense character and can do things to try to communicate, regardless.
--Level three: can sense/ see entities and can communicate with them. Warning: to communicate, the entity enters characters body to use their voice. Useful if benign, but can be potentially dangerous if entity is malicious.

You may have as many characters as you wish. However, they may only have one of these abilities at which ever level you wish.



A list of possible things your character may do that will effect how they play. If more than one person chooses the same occupation, they may be co-workers. The relationship is again, up to you.

apothecary worker: Be it for medicine, or for killing off those damn barn rats, you know more about plants and herbs than most in the town.
teacher: knowledge is your power, and books are your ready source if you don't know what to do.
ranger: you know the valley better than anyone, and all the critters that inhabit it.
preacher: your faith guides you, and the town looks to you as a mentor.
cop: you protect and you serve. The town looks to you for leadership and strength.

(side note: Your character does not have to have these specific jobs. Like if your character is an old retired man, then one of these would be more like a past career. If your too young, then it is more a personality or social outlook. example: the preacher might just be a person who is an upstanding person in the community and gets strength from whatever he believes in, whatever faith that is. But if you wish, one of these can actually be your characters' job. Your choice.)

Gaian name: Saia Kakaru
Character name: Adiana Ves'an
Age: 19
Appearance: Adiana
Ability: Medium, level 3
Job: Apothecary worker
Background: Her family moved to the town when she was eleven, and her dad has been one of the local preachers ever since. However, strange things have happened around Adiana that make people question her family. She used to talk about seeing things that others couldn't, but after a few years she's learned to shut up about them. Quite the loner, she keeps to herself and rarely goes outside her house for things other than groceries and her apothecary supplies. She does enjoy spending time in the woods though; it helps her to calm down and "meditate".
Element: Water

She'd been working on her inventory for most of the day, keeping tabs on which plants and herbs she needed to restock and what usual mixtures restocking. Setting down her notepad and pen, she noticed a silhouette in the window. She had kept the curtains drawn since her eyes had become sensitive to bright light, and went over to see who it might've been. Opening the door, she shut her eyes quickly to save her from temporary blindness. "Umm… excuse me, but may I help you?" She asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

(ok guys so this one is a little different. Bare with me. ^'^)

As the officer stepped into the doorway, Adiana felt the temperature drop as if a small breeze brushed passed her. Behind the man's lighted silhouette a faint shadow passed by. The shadow was a head shorter than Ovan, but no other distinguishing features could be made out.

((So are you joining or are you gonna be the spirits and bad guys? Foxi?))

Ovan can tell she is either nervous or shy and goes on the impression she is shy as he is not really one to place the bad guy persona on someone unless they act and look accordingly. "Water is fine, thank you. I am here because, well I just arrested someone outside and handed him off to my fellow officers. I am not needed back for some time really as crime is not that big here as you probably know. So what does an Apothecary shop sell and what do you do?" Ovan asks quickly glancing where she did, not seeing anything but a bit of darkness and then looks back.

Staring at the shadow, she watched it fade away. Still, she was on guard, since she could still feel its waiting presence in the room. Shutting the door softly, she answered Ovan's question. Adiana found it odd that this man didn't know what the apothecary shop sold, but then again, she didn't see him around that often. "W-well… m-mostly medicine, re-really. B-but I sell anything th-that has to do with p-plants. So like sl-slug repellant or r-rat killers. P-people also s-s-sometimes ask me about h-h-herbs or pl-plants." She explained, tripping over her words. She wasn't used to talking to someone for this long. Her customers were usually in and out of the shop, with as little words exchanged as possible. Moving towards her kitchen, she grabbed a glass and filled it with water from the tap. When it got to an adequate amount, she handed it to Ovan.
