Plot
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Zodiac;
Most people are aware of the twelve constellations, and some might happen to know their sign and what it stands for. A few may even know the old lore, about how one can call the Zodiac down from the heavens themselves to ask for protection or help.
But what they aren't aware of is the fact that the Scions of the Zodiac- the very embodiments of the twelve signs- are able to be controlled. Manipulated. If you are the one who holds the key to their gate, you can summon one of the Scions of the Zodiac to you, and, according to Celestial Law, own them. But the Spirits will not be controlled without a fight. . .
And a fight they will have. For there is not just one Zodiac. The Chinese Zodiac, better known as the Shēngxiào, are ready to go to war, and that has divided the Scions. . .

Obviously, the zodiac. For those who don't know the Zodiac- and also those who just want to know who has and hasn't been taken- I'm going to list them here with their symbol. I also want to say: The Zodiac Scions are much like a pantheon- each Scion has specific duties, and a title. You can choose your own, but please, make them make sense, or I will reject them. Their characters do need to represent the stereotypical astrological sign. So my tip is take a few personality traits and awesome powers from ideas given by an Astrology website. (BTW, their names are not their signs, just so you guys don't have to be introducing yourself as Sagittarius. Instead, you can be (random name) Zaik the Sagittarius. Alternatively, they could go by their sign if they prefer.)
At this point in time, I am not allowing people to claim the Shēngxiào. I would rather see the interplay between the Scions first, before I decided if we even need to add them. Me and some of my friends have some drama planned already, so don't worry.

 Rules______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________First:
This is a semi-literate to literate role-play. That means a good, solid paragraph, preferably two, or even three. That also means NO CHAT SPEAK, ever, and NO ONE-LINERS, ever. And, pretty posts. A picture, maybe a quote or some song lyrics, and even an icon... Go nuts. (Just don't be an eyesore.)
Second:
Please be kind and courteous to others OOC. Even if your character doesn't like them, doesn't mean you can't.
Third:
Keep it PG-16. things may get a bit violate, but this is not a slasher movies- blood and guts will not coat the walls. This is not a porno- take it to PMs if you must, but don't put it here. Ever.
Fourth:
The usual (not that all the rest of that wasn't. XD): No god-mods, no character-killing without permission, no auto-hitting, none of this. That's rudimentary stuff, and doesn't need to be here.
Fifth:
PM all of your profiles and requests to AnalogueAssassin, under the title of "Lil' Slugger". Bonus points for those who are awesome and catch the reference! Also, a small (or, um, large, your choice) sample of your role-playing needs to be either in the PM, with the profile, or in a link.

 Setting
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This is all going to take place in the world of the Scions, as far as I know. The world of the Scions is very diverse; there is one communal area, for everyone to hang out (such as a banquet hall, a garden/courtyard area, whatever) and twelve offshoots, one for each Scion. Inside the Scion's "room" is whatever you like.
To get into a room that is not yours, you need the Scion's key or the permission of the Scion. The Scions can get into their own rooms regardless of the keys.

►►► Those who need protected
Stand behind me
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♌━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Cael stood in the courtyard, letting the breeze play havoc with his hair and chewing furiously on a wheat stalk. Stupid Shēngxiào. They were all ready to attack, start a war, over what? Probably nothing, as per usual. Heavens, how he hated this. Politics and s**t baffled him in general; give him a sword and a target any day. And yet, the worst thing was, politics often boiled down to war.
He sighed, brushing his stupid lion's mane of hair away from his face. He needed to find a way to protect all the Scions from the upcoming war. And that included making war mongers step down and back off. He was the Guardian, but did anyone listen to him in times of war? Well, a few. But not a huge amount. And not that stupid Scorpio.

"I may have the stubborn attitude of a bull..."
"..but I have the strength to match..." Alephonze The Protector Kaido
As Cael came to the courtyard he would see Alephonze doing what he usually did when a bit stressed, training.
A tall man, Alephonze's stature was muscular, his armor like shoes were dug into the ground leaning his body forward dirt piled up in mounds behind his feet as he slid back slightly. Badge hakama pants led up to a skintight shirt showing his straining upper body two red suspender straps crossed up his body, he hated the color red but because he did he always kept it on, wanting to show no weakness. The short sleeved cut off at his biceps which were flexing harshly, his muscles shown.
One armored arm reached up the hand grasped around a translucent green horn. his other unarmored hand was wrapped around another. Alephonze himself was locked in with a large translucent bull spirit made of the green energy that signified him. He strained as the bull pushed him slightly back.
With a grunt Alephonze leaned his body downards and to the left at the same time using his monstrous strength to throw down the bull into the ground, as he did so he turned on his right foot spinning his body and turning once more to face the bull. The creature rose to its feet and sized up Alephonze stamping its feet in place preparing to charge.
"Let's end this."
Alephonze took on a strong stance distributing his weight evenly, positioning the right side of his body towards the being and placing his hands to catch the bull. The bull began it's charge kicking up dust in its charge. Alephonze grasped the bull by it's horns stopping the charge in its tracks and giving new meaning to the phrase. The bull was unable to take a step forward and Alephonze wasn't willing to take a step backwards. With a grunt he leaned his body backwards and with a strain pulled up, slowly the bull began to raise off of the ground. As it ran helplessly on air unable to make a move Alephonze grunted hard and fell backwards onto the ground effectively suplexing the overly large bull. As he stood the bull struggle to move from its position near paralyzed.
Alephonze walked over to it and kneeled down at its head.
"Good job, Partner"
stated Alephonze rubbing his hand over the bull's head. The great being made of energy struggled to its feet and gave a great roar, taking on a proud stance as it became energy once more and traveled into the the circular black section of his shoulder armor. The Taurean symbol appeared and faded signalling his spirit's return.
"...So watch it"

 ᴏｐɧｅℓｉａ ƚ ԋ ȩ ɧｅａℓｅɾThe sound of rushing water filled the as a young glides into the courtyard where the other two Scions were. Her hair was the color of the sea, her eyes an icey blue color. Both colors reflected her nature which was that of the Healer, known as Aquarius. She wore a solemn expression while she stood there, observing the Protector spar with his summon and the Guardian ponder in through his thoughts. Ophelia simply stood to the side, behind a pillar before stepping out into the open to confront the two. "What is the matter? The way you two act is like you're agitated about something. What has happened?" came her melodic, yet sorrowful voice. Her saphire eyes flickered from Alephonze then to Cael. ♒ "No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight, In the shadow of your heart..." ♒

Cael smiled at Ophelia, inclining his head and pulling the (frankly disgusting) wheat stalk out of his mouth and making it disappear. "It's bad news. The Shēngxiào are preparing to make war against us. And it seems like this is going to turn into another game of politics for the Scions- those who want to fight now, have the first strike, against those who want to wait and prepare for the Shēngxiào to attack first."
Cael looked away, realizing who he'd been talking to. This was one of the ladies, and not a warrior- he shouldn't be putting a warrior's worries in her mind. She should know there is a threat, but not how badly they were dealing with it. "I'm sorry, Ophelia. I don't mean to upset you."

"I may have the stubborn attitude of a bull..."
"..but I have the strength to match..." Alephonze The Protector Kaido
Alephonze shook his head sweat beads flying from the brown mane of hair upon his head. As he walked towards the others he ran his fingers through it just catching the last portion of what Cael said to Ophelia. Cael was always so diplomatic, always worried about only preparing the warriors in their midst, truthfully they didn't have enough. Alephonze often found himself worrying that he would be unable to provide a tactical advantage should the fight come to Scion. The previous war took place on neutral territory and it was only thanks to that they were able to protect everyone.
Everyone needed to be on their guard. Alephonze looked to his armored hand, he knew what he would do in the worst scenario, but prayed it would never come to that. It was Cael's job to protect everyone but Alephonze knew his own duty was to protect this world which superseded his desire to remain dwelling as a living being in this spiritual world.
He passed Ophelia on the right and eased his left, armored hand onto her right shoulder as he passed a small gentle squeeze to let her know there was no need to worry, then continued forward allowing his hand to slip from her shoulder and back down beside him. His face remained a straight and serious one, he moved to a column in the courtyard like set up for their main area and leaned on it crossing his arms over his chest and leaning his head down shutting his eyelids over his intense blue eyes. He was a man of very few words, he felt the current situation called only for Cael's careful speech. Alephonze wasn't as apt to such.

ᴏｐɧｅℓｉａ ƚ ԋ ȩ ɧｅａℓｅɾOphelia listened, silently contemplating the information Cael was explaining to her. Another war, it seemed that tension had risen between them and another group. Her gaze drifted downward while Cael explained what actions he and the others were taking to defend against any potential attacks. "Nothing good ever comes out of fighting. Only pain and suffering stem from conflicts," Ophelia stated turning away from Cael. She gazed up at the sky when Alephonze approached, placing what she thought to be a reassuring hand. Ophelia placed her hands over his lightly until he pulled away. She let her hand fall to her side as the silent Protector leaned against the pillars. "I don't want to heal you two, or anyone in as a matter of fact. Because if I do... you'll probably be in terrible condition and I don't want to see anyone hurt," Ophelia said turning back to Cael and Alephonze. ♒ "No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight, In the shadow of your heart..." ♒
