Here's the boring s**t stuff; rules. Blech. Can't live with 'em can't live without 'em. I'll put reasons behind some of my rules since some aren't so common.
Un:
Follow Gaia ToS
Deux:
You can control demons as long as I say so in the post.
~~Throughout the RP I may go OOC in tiny a** text in my IC posts. Please look out for it. These will be important footnotes to the RP saying whether or not you can control demons or certain NPCs etc.
Trois:
Assumed Interaction is allowed between PCs/OCs.
~~Please understand the essence of the characters you are to control. Get the user's permission first as well. If at anytime someone controls your character and you don't like what they did. Post in this thread quoting my name as well as the user involved and we'll resolve the issue and have the post edited so the RP as a whole flows smoothly.
Quatre:
Your character(s) must be able to bring something to the table as far as fighting is concerned. At least one skill, even if it's a piece of string that conducts electricity.
~~The world is dangerous and there are demons we are trying to eliminate. Which means at times we may be forced to write super epic battle scenes. If your character is mainly support, please have someone s/he can support. Like a pair working together.
Cinq:
Friendly fire is possible.
~~Now, this falls under A.I. once again. A character can accidentally hurt another with magic or weapons.
Six:
There is technology, but no guns.
~~Let's just say that gunpowder doesn't exist. It's a fantasy roleplay. So use your fantastic mind to create other weapons instead.
Sept:
Feel free to create magical creatures, regular animals, etc. on a whim. Tiny pixie creatures, dragons, wyverns, shape shifting robot ducks etc.
~~However, please let me know before you create a rare race during the roleplay a few posts ahead of time. And as for your own characters; please choose from the list of races I have given. If you want to create your own rare race, PM me and we can work something out.
Huit:
You can spawn demons yourselves. Anywhere but in towns.
~~I'll let you know in my footnotes. But please be as descriptive as I am with demons. For demons, you can use pictures to describe the whole thing. But please describe how it moves, acts, etc. very clearly.
Neuf:
More may be added later as needed. I'll let you know.

And so your find yourself. Staring down at this fragment of physical reality. A ‘hidden’ world for you to choose your next life in the physical realm. You think, and ponder, ‘is this world for me?’ after a brief moment, you decide to descend and explore it. What you find, is more than you have yet been able to imagine. In your previous lives, you have been humans and animals, trees, flowers, bees, and ants. You have experienced the flight of a bird, the birth and death of a single molecule, and smaller than that as well. You have been there. And in this world is something you never expected; a world who’s inhabitants have realized the gods that they are internally, spiritually, all without knowing their true power, yet using it to the furthest extremes.
Dancing, music, as well as thundery wars and medicine that far surpasses anyone’s expectations are easily found here. This world, in all of its beauty and wonder, is called earth, as many other planets call their homes ‘earth.’ But this is an earth unlike any other; far off in a different dimension, in a probable reality completely unbeknownst to most. There are many, hundreds, races who have the ‘spark’ of creativity and awareness as intelligent beings. Humans are only one of the many gifted with the 'spark' as you will know it.
Humans, you know them well. They are a strong people, capable of magnificent creation, artwork, beauty that any can find appreciative. Being born as a human is truly known as one of the greatest gifts in the universe. They are not made of steel or heavy bones like some creatures, they do not naturally spring lights from their fingertips nor are they born flying. . . they are the race that evolves throughout their lives. They are blessed with the gift of choice of becoming who they please in any aspect of life. Any human can fight strong and swiftly, protect dutifully with swords, cast their creations into reality with magic, each through learning. They can heal with magic as they practice medicine. Human beings are smart, capable of memorizing and learning vastly different subjects. The first question for the life of your next life as a human is ”A jack of all trades… or a master of one, which is the true way to experience a life?”
Alas, you notice another presence. A Jopodo, at first may look like a doll, but their physical body is ever changing just as the humans talents can grow. They vary in size from small children to tall adults. Many people think of a Jopodo as an inanimate object, or a series of. Sometimes they're considered with a soul bound to its doll-like body. This is a primitive idea. For the puppet-folk are living just as plant and fauna alike. They are born, not in the sense people are, but no two things in the universe are. Their bodies each created, upon birth, differently and uniquely to directly represent their soul. Some made of wood and pieces of clock work, others made of glass and metal, some have limbs or faces of pure energy and electricity even. The shell of a Jopodo is the same as the body of a Human, they feel pain and emotion, despite whether or not they show it… if they can even show it to begin with. Jopodo are gifted with magic, more so than any other race. Capable to conjure flame and water, bring nonphysical into the physical, they are quite fascinating creatures. As before said, they often appear to be made of strange technologies, they can change, fix, repair their bodies. Mend and fix cracks or burns with magic. Stitch themselves up and even re-string their vocal chords. If they want another face, so be it, they carve them themselves. Some moving, some always static. In fact, hardly of them look the same as they were when they were born. They represent male or female, maybe both at once. To them, changing gender is a psychological task. It takes time for them to learn to think as the opposite gender before they will actually change it. Some have even mastered the task and do so freely, altering their bodies to switch back and forth. Gendered but biologically genderless, Jopodo can still reproduce. The common tail is that the Jopodo sacrifices its magic into the earth to bring forth its child, granted with the same magic its father or mother once had. Once without magic, the Jopodo must live the rest of its life, however long, at the mercy of the earth and physical nature. Some live short lives, some live for hundreds or possibly thousands of years. It is a matter as to when the Jopodo is ready to die.
The two races, interacting, their communication fluid and effortless. Your turn your views skyward, high above the village you once pointed your focus. Then you see a city, filled with metal, technology and electricity. And so, you are there. You notice bodies of armor, completely covered carrying large industrial weapons or strange ‘primitive’ weapons. One in particular, looks directly at you, and lifts its hood to reveal its face. And what you see is neither Human nor Puppet, but something else. A body defined to no particular shape; an Oziel (awh-zeel). Oziel are programs, viruses, clumps of data brought into physical reality. Their race is young, created by the spark of a Human and a Jopodo, their true history is unclear. An Oziel is not anchored to its body like Jopodo and Humans. They can discard it and walk freely, bodiless, but some are too bright for anyone’s eyes to care to handle. Some keep themselves, whether under wraps, armor, or only pieces of it, to keep from bothering others. There are those that take the form of holographs and are quite quick to change their appearance rapidly. They are talented in sciences and can communicate almost telepathically with technology. . Physics, mathematics, electronics, biology, chemistry, medicine, are all easily within their grasp. They can, like humans, shift their views from one science to then next as they please, however, they forget their previous focus’ very quickly to make room for large amounts of data. Oziel’s minds are like computers, they analyze, calculate solutions, and spit the response back out, whether verbally or physically. Oziel tend to be emotionally blunt or cut and dry. Some understand little about emotions. An Oziel, if their program matches, can have vibrant, complex emotions too. They are skilled fighters in close combat or at long distances. They can create guns to meld around their arms of electricity and manipulate them as they please to shoot whatever they please; so long as the technology holds up to it. An Oziel is completely incapable of magic on Jopodo or Human terms… But their skills with craftsmanship and tools are so great that they may as well be called nothing but magical. Oziel are often stuck to their ‘gender’ due to the program they may be built from. However, the creation of any Oziel is more of a mystery than the Jopodo. Fused from a ‘spark’ between a Human and a Jopodo, as said before, there was only one. There are infinite rumors of the creation of Oziels, all of them false.
The Oziel creature turned its gaze from you and returned to her conversation. The words melding into one another as you dispersed. The night was slowly falling, and you could see in the distance that there was a mountain village. And so up you went. Finding yourself on an enormous, rocky plateau high above the metal city below, you see a camp of strange creatures. These creatures are known as Raluth on this planet an inner voice tells you. The Raluth are a strange mix of human and fauna. Their minds are granted with the spark of intelligence yet are still partially primitive. They are strong physically and mentally in every fashion. Raluth are excellent fighters and often use fighting as a method of argument. Their bodies resemble animals; mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. There is no such thing as a bird-Raluth. Their faces taking most of the form of their fauna counterpart. Their legs represent the fauna they are apart of, allowing them to go from a human pose to animal quite easily. Raluth are capable of magic, though it is a very difficult art for them. Any are skilled with a sword or something to swing. They can also use technology, though their strange humanoid-animal hands may make devices and gadgets difficult to use. Some Raluth, Frog-People for instance, may stand on two legs consistently, some may prefer to act more as a frog, it is entirely dependent on the person; all are capable of doing so, however. Raluth reproduce naturally, but only within their species of fauna, and especially within their own species as a whole.
Still high on this flat plateau, you see, far off in the distance, a strange floating... what is that... land? You diminish again into nothingness and are now approaching, floating, toward this country-size piece of land. Lights can be seen reflecting off the clouds. So you ascend and find an enormous city of golden towers jutting out of the ground. It's a city with inhabitants resembling closely to humans but with characteristics somewhat like the Raluth and magical qualities similar to the Jopodo; the Flaudian race. These people, before their discovery, were believed to be angels. The reason? They are, essentially, harpies. Now, they are not the evil or mean creatures you may be familiar with, however, it is not beyond them to be such. Flauda people are the closest looking to humans comparably speaking. They are very tall with thin bodies and pointed faces. Their wings protrude out of their arms as any harpie, yet they seem to sink back into their body slowly if not used for few hours or sleeping. However, in an instant, they can be extended out of their arms to take immediate fight. Flaudians have attitudes as dynamic as humans and beliefs to match. They are capable of magic as humans and are quite skilled with long ranged weapons because of their excellent eyesight. These harpie folk have lightning fast reflexes, but are physically weaker than most races. Their skin varies in color, as they are not covered in feathers, only their forearms and shins. Their feathers, on the contrary, are often quite vibrant colors passed down from genetics. Some are speckled as an owl's, some are more flamboyant than a peacock's with intricate details.
~~~
Aside from the common races, you notice that there are lesser life forms now. Animals was the word you would previously use. But these are different from any flora and fauna. They are not peace-loving like many of the life forms on this planet. They attack any that are not their kind and even then, they sometimes eat their own. These creatures are generally called demons, and the name rightfully fits. It is commonly believed that they are from another dimension, existing between neither here nor there. They wreak havoc on towns, travelers, and countries alike. Thus creating a large job market for protection against these evil beings as well as a black market for demon teeth, tusks, fur, and the like. These demonic creatures vary in power, some are quite strong, some are mere crawly-things. They do not have organs, emotions, souls, nor thought, they cannot learn, and they do not care for life. One could try dissect one of these monsters, provided you can keep it alive before it melts to water, disappears into the air, or freezes to stone. Some drip poison from their mouths and spikes, others have strange magical abilities. Little is known about them except that they come to this earth through large portals.
Since the appearance of demons, the world has been trying to find ways to eliminate them. Using various technologies and magic, scientists and scholars alike have been able to trace an individual demon's energy-trail back to its portal. And, in rare cases, trace the portal to strange destinations, some desolate, some in highly populated cities. And so, some believe that there is someone bringing these demons here. However, it is impossible to go through a demon's portal... Unless there is a force on the other side bringing these creatures here.
This is where we start our story, in the Kingdom of Puppets in a town called Kroya that hangs over and around lake Ice's side from cliffs high above the water. In the far north there is a gulf in which the Flauda country is currently found, floating abnormally low above the ocean. If one goes east, there is a no-man's land a few miles outside of the city. It is called the Land of Black which is known for having extremely high demonic activity through its vast, hilly plains and dense forests. To the south by a few miles, one can find Fort Palanayuke. It's a city-slash-embassy of Raluth and Humans working together to help protect Kroya from the demons. In recent weeks, a demon gate came into being made of strong obsidian rock, impossible to destroy. It is the first of its kind and its appearance has shaken the governments of our small world. Now much of the city is desolate. There are a few who have decided to keep their homes and shops despite the dangers.

Please read the rules and PM your character profile(s) to me. If you have any questions, post them here (and quote me) so we can answer it for everyone to see.
Character Profiles Here
Examples of what some races could possibly look like:
Male Raluth
Female Raluth
Male and Female Jopodo
Male Jopodo
Female Oziel
Male Oziel
Male Flaudian
These are just to give ideas. For the Jopodo, imagine something Tim Burton would create. For the Raluth, imagine any animal taking on human characteristics. It's up to you on how human or animal they are. Oziel are physical even though they may not look it. The Flauda boy is just a general idea. The wings are a lot bigger to support a body.
Current Characters:
None yet!

I've messaged the people who have shown interest and I'm expecting two character sheets sometime tonight-ish. Everyone's busy... Probably because of mid-terms or something. Feel free to recruit anyone you might think that is interested!
