Welcome to Gaia! ::

Background information

For those who have not played Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for the Game Cube console, this is basically the storyline of it:

Raem, a dragon resembling a Duel Monster, has invaded the land of Tipa and has infested that world with both Miasma and monsters.

Over time, the races of the land have grown accustomed to such times by staying in their villages that were somehow protected from the poisonous substance everywhere else.

Along with this, it had become common knowledge that in order to maintain the crystal's luminous glow, three drops of myrrh that came from special trees in other monster infested villages, were a must have. And so, this brought about the age of the caravans.

Many caravans have been sent out, some stronger than others, but the one from Tipa Ki was the strongest and took on that wicked dragon and cleansed the land of all miasma as a reward for his demise.

The current storyline

For this role-play, that wicked dragon has somehow been revived from the grave, and this dragon is not alone.

A resemblance of another duel monster called Sly, and a fellow dragon has now agreed to go in disguise to see if he cannot get rid of these caravan based towns, and what's more, the crystals no longer shine. They have all faded since Miasma had vanished.

Raem did not decide to revive the miasma since it had been beaten by a single caravan. However, he did curse the land by having everyone aging faster and then dying with each passing year. For every time a caravan should defeat its boss, a family member dies.

How to be a character

Choose from the four races:

Clavat - sword wielder
Yuke - hammer head fighter and being of wisdom
Selkie - Mages of all trades. They use rackets and they are classic merchants.
Lilty - although small, this race can craft the finest weapons and armor as well as some pretty fancy accessories that have surpassed those residing in the Land of Shella, whom, in Shella up till now those Yukes had beat the Lilties for the accessory contest.

Lilties wield lances and spears. They have a secondary reason for going on this mission, to once and for all reclaim their stolen place in society. They did after all, rule the land of Tipa before Raem his ugly reptilian head.

After choosing the race you wish to be

Choose the career your family and friends back home will have from the following:

1. Medic - mage Selkies that heal and can revert the affect of Raem's curse.

2. Merchant - Selkie based shops at low, low prices.

3. Moogle Mailman - special positions where you are those cute furballs that can withstand anything Raem throws at them. Plus they deliver mail about who fell ill.

4. Alchemist - Yuke based wisdom shop and will sell recipes for armor and weapon upgrades.

5. Rancher - Clavat based shop that sells meat for cheap.

6. Farmer - Clavat based shop that sells produce to hungry travelers, loaves of bannock are included in this list.

7. Fisherman - Selkie based contest location. For a bit of fun, try and aim for the biggest fish! Makes a great side quest. *more info about this later*

8. Blacksmith - Lilty based shop that makes weapons, armor and accessories for you for free as long as you have the materials and the recipe.

Once both race and family have been selected

Its time to head out with your caravan! Once we have all of the family careers chosen, this RP will start.

How to post race and family career

How the RP works

Step 1

Once we are able to start, the FIRST person that chose their character by correctly filling in the formatted skeleton, will "write" one entry into the "Chronicles".

In this "entry", they will state what monsters they faced, what the boss was, and whom they say is now affected with Raem's curse.

They must make up their own monster names and such to add to the fun of this role-play.

Step 2

After 3 people have posted their "entries", I shall play as Sly where I shall meet you in your "village".

There is only one village in this RP, I forgot to mention. The others you go to are all monster infested and other caravans will be monsters trying to attack you on the road.

When you encounter me, we shall have a random number generation battle.

How to use the random number generator

At the bottom of the post you are entering there are two options. One says:

Post Style - this option allows the reader to see a variation of posts. Such as the parchment look.

The other says:

Post Action - THE ONE YOU WANT FOR THIS RP WHEN FACING SLY.

In this beautiful marvel, you will see the "Random Number Generator".

Type in 1 in the lowest box and 10 in the highest box.

Click Submit at that time to see if you beat Sly in this contest.

Step 3

1. If you beat Sly's number, Sly will flee saying "Grr, this ain't over!"

This gives your medics the allowance to heal your "sick" family member to live also instead of dying.

2. If Sly beats your number, there is nothing the medics can do, and the family member dies.

Oh and relax, you have tons of family as there are 100 un-named relatives that each trade a family has since the caravans of old had to flee to the one village making it a super village.

There will only be 4 closely related characters. Your mom, your dad, your sister, and your brother.

3. Once the battle is over, its time to set out with the caravan once more.

Step 4

Once all party members have made their entries (8 total), you face Sly in the final showdown.

If you beat Sly in this showdown, which we start with the first caravan member again of the 8, and win 8 successful times in a row, then Sly disappears!

For every member of the 8 that loses will be forced back to the village as it would be "Game Over" for that character.

Once Sly is beaten and gone, the caravan faces Raem.

Only 1 member from the caravan will win against him.

Using the same method as you did for Sly, you try and beat Raem with your remaining members.

If all members have lost against Sly, then the RP ends early.

All right! We have our merchant!

7 spots left!
