Eden is a beautiful land at first glance. It is technologically advanced with large cities, highways, internet, and everything else. Its people tend to be peaceful for the most part and its neighbors are much weaker than it is - leaving it safe from invasions. Even with the advanced society, mythological creatures roam the land as they always have, as well as magic.
The Royal Line: The Royal Line is a family said to be descended from the Gods, although the truth of this is unknown. What is known, however, is that they have a strange power over their people, dead and alive - that they can easily control masses of people to do their bidding. The Royal Line was once peaceful but as it began to spread and grow, small trifles grew into states of war. Finally, the Crown Prince - a boy named Tsubaki - lead a great number of the Living and the Dead and killed all other members of the Royal Line. He rules now.
Magic: There are many different types of magic. The Royal Line mainly uses Necromancy, which is magic of Death, but there are many other types. Some other agics include: Geomancy (Earth), Chryomancy (Ice), Pyromancy (Fire), Homeomancy (Healing), and Chronomancy (Time) but they are not limmited to these.
Mythological Creatures and Pacts: There are many of these and many different types (dragon, nymph, sphinx, you name it, they have it - apart from angels or demons or anything like that). These creatures have access to a realm limmitless powers, life, anything, but they themselves cannot use it. The only way to access that realm is to make a pact with a human and trade something from that person (which is given the the creature) in return for the creature giving the human something from that realm. One may trade fabulous jewels and riches, but these things will buy a person very little (say add one or two years to your life). The Pacts that will bargain most from the creatures are things with meaning - as in part of one's life, your heart, your luck, your sight, etc.. For these, one may receive power, save lives, add to one's own lives or any of the uncountable proffits of that realm. However, one may not trade anything that does not belong that that person. This means one may not trade another person or something belonging to someone else, unless they are a member of the Royal Line which almost literally owns the people in its power, due to the magic in their blood.
Geography: Eden is very large and is an archipelago. There are a total of thirteen islands, including the main one (called Eden Island). The other islands are mostly unihabbited, apart from small towns with nothing much to offer. The outer rim of the main island is surrounded by mountains. The feet the the moutains is tropical, but the heights are extremely cold and are snowy all year long. Eden Island is mainly sweeping green plains and hills and there are many major cities inside, as well as smaller ones and towns.
Rules: Please be polite to all others. Be literate. Be considerate. Don't spam. To prove you've read everything, write "marmalade" in the section that says "password" in the profile. PM all aplications to me. Title your PM "Eden - YE" (YE stands for Yaoi Essential) Have Fun. Obey Gaia TOS. No flaming. D<

They had been hunted and killed and then skinned so the fur could be used. He's never quite trusted people after that, although he tends to be care free. Pacts:* He has made many pacts with humans, mainly because he's not powerful enough to ask for anything big from the people, but also because he can offer things like the ability to change form and other useful, but not very powerful, tricks and powers.

Gaia Name: Kitsunes Fire Character Name: Ryu Takedo Age: 16 Sex: male Height: about 5'7" Weight:* Appearence: ...see pic(he's the red-head!) Picture:* Ryu! Personality: romantic, creative, rather easy-going and shy around new people but once you get to know him he is very outgoing and laid-back History:* Pacts:* He gave up some of his life for magical ability and luck- nobody knows for sure how much though. He also gave up part of his voice, so he can never really yell- it's hard for him to talk normally so he doesn't say much. Position:* seke
Gaia Name: SonataBlue Character Name: Haavyen Iilerpren. (Creature Name. Don't ask. You won't ever use it. ) A.K.A. Oliver Age: 297. Appears to be 20 Sex: Male Height: 5'8" Weight:*122lbs Type: Nix (a type of water spirit/fiend personifying a human. Same attributes as that of a siren. A beautiful, male, shape-shifting siren who lures targeted victims to their deaths.) Appearence: Human: Midnight blue hair and radiant golden orbs are subtle hints that this is not your normal human. Oliver adores taking on the human form and he makes quite the attractive one. His clothing is the same as in the picture, but the bottom hem of each article presents a constant dampness; another subtle sign that he isn't normal. The collar around his neck was an article he received in a pact with his first human. He has a strange affinity for it and has worn it ever since. The glasses were the result of another pact. His skin is fair and healthy-looking. His smile is sweet and playful. Siren: While his fine facial features remain the same, his upper torso is completely bare and his legs are replaced by a merman’s tail, the scales of which are the same as his hair tone with a thin golden stripe down either side. This is the form he usually assumes when he is at home by the springs and water bodies in the forest. His collar remains on. Horse: As a nix, the final shape-shifting form is a white steed. Picture:-Oliver- (Picture original design totally attributed to Rann and her comic)
Personality: He makes a very odd, yet enchanting human. A rather quiet Nix, when you first meet him, depending on his attraction or interest in a human, he will act differently. He's mischievious and deceitful to an extent. Leading humans to where he lives with various methods, he can choose to drown them or make a pact-- if the human initiates the desire of the latter. Oliver is timid and curious in the midst of a crowd. On his own, or alone however, he is quite playful. This concept of love is something that has always enticed him. He does not yet understand it, but often observes it. A blunt inquirer. He despises pain. And once he finds something... or someone that he has taken a liking to, he is terribly possessive. A feral instinct of territory, if you will. History: He's lived through nearly 3 centuries and has seen quite a lot. Yet, amongst others of his kind, he is shunned as a naive child unfit for adult status. (Nix live well over a thousand years if they aren't killed.) He does not know what family is, nor does he have one. There is no sentiment of the sort in his species. Only in the last 100 years has he really developed a human form. He's been hunted like an animal before. Primarily for the skin of his white steed form. Nix have one of the softest, prettiest coats. Pacts: He made a pact with a unique wizard for his eyes/sight in return for access to incredibly powerful water magic. Other than a few pacts for material possessions-- such as his collar-- for a few years of life, Oliver hasn't made any other lasting pacts. Position: Uke. Period. Did you even LOOK at that picture? Look again. Uke. Other:*Finding humans very curious creatures, he enjoys mimicking their actions and watching them from afar and upclose. Nix are omnivores. Humans are considered an option for food. Yes, Oliver has eaten humans before. No, he didn't really like the taste. As aforementioned, he despises pain. He reacts like an animal would to it. Think about pinching a monkey's butt really hard. Think that monkey would be happy? Didn't think so.
Gaia Name: My_Dorebit!Character Name: Hebishi ChimotoAge: Appears to be an older teen, looking about 18 or 19 Sex: MaleHeight: 6'0''Weight: 125lbs.Appearance: Crimson going on black eyes, and dark green going on black hair. Can me mistaken for a human easily unless someone looks extremely closely at him. The glasses are not for sight but to alter his gaze so it is not deadly (can do it by will too but that takes to much thought and it's easier this way) Tall and slender he has the grace of a cobra and the bite of one too.Picture:  Type: BasiliskPersonality: Stoic and cold, has never cared for people. He secretly wishes to have someone to call him theirs but refuses to go soft and seek such a being out. He is calloused and harsh refusing to give any information about himself out. If any come to him with a "little pack" he devoirs them, which is 10 times better then an article of clothing.History: He is considered one of the most deadly in the realm. He usually does not leave his rich cave dwelling and gets no company (which isn't surprising) He was only hunted when he was much, much younger and now the only humans that approach him are ones with large pacts in mind. He usually charges more then he should but since he has talents only unique to him humans are foolishly willing to pay.Pacts: Doesn't give "little pacts" he likes things such as hearts, body parts, emotions and life-force. Position: Seme Other: Since he is a snake he is used to being alone, it does not mean, however, that he doesn't get lonely.Gaia Name: Mie-tanuki Character Name: Zephyr Age: unknown - his human form appears about sixteen or seventeen Sex: male Height: about 5'8" - a little bit short for his age Weight:* about 110lbs Appearence: He is slender with pale, silky skin. His hair is several inches longer than shoulder length and tied back loosely at the nape of his neck with a satin ribbon, usually a dark brown. His hair is a very light - but not at all blond - pale brown. His eyes are pale green. His entire appearance is pastelled and pale - reserved and calm Picture:* none yet Personality: He is slow, quiet, reserved, calm, steady. He never raises his voice and seldom speaks above a murmur. He keeps his opinions mainly to himself. Despite his apparent tranquil frailty, he can be quite strong and adamant about things that matter to him. He is quietly passionate. History:* Zephyr is a weeping willow - a tree. He was born long, long ago... he can never remember exactly when. And yet he is still young for his race - the living trees. Theese trees are exceedingly rare - nearly extinct, in fact. He doesn't have a family and doesn't mourn for one, either. It is normal for his kind. Pacts:* He has not made very many pacts. He never makes pacts with those only concerned with power. He gives out of kindness, compassion and sympathy. As a tree, he has everything he needs. He lives off water and sunlight and desires nothing more than that and kindness. He is gentle and caring and often gives to those in need without taking anything in return. Position:* uke Other:* He can eat human food, but nothing overly processed. He is also vegan as a human. He seldom eats and doesn't need much to servive. Gaia Name: xYAOIx Character Name: Cain Willow Age: 18 Sex: Male (yes please!) Height: 6'3" Weight: 167 lbs Appearence: Much like a willow, the young man named Cain is tall and lean. His skin, once like snow, has attracted a soft bronze glow from spending countless hours outdoors. The sightless eyes, every so often obscurred by dark brown hair, are the colour of grey-green stones. His feet remain bare to have abetter sense of where he is. The lower body of the steady male is covered by bark blue jeans, hanging gently about his hips. A black muscle shirt with dark red pinstripes along the sides hugs the toned torso. Both forearms have leather bands around them much like those of an archer. On Cain's lower back is a gathering of three Nymphs around a Lotus. Picture:* Personality: Cain has always been a little on the serious side. He likes facts and direct answers. Though he will cut-loose of the normal binds around him to dance and give thanks to the Nature around him. His other side loves to wonder about why things are the way they are in the land of Eden. Just because he cannot see does not mean he is naiive. History:* --- Pacts: He made a pact with a Nymph. His sight was traded for powerful Geomancy and Floramancy. Position:* Seke Other: Despite Cain lacking his physical vision, he's become more intune with the vibrations and sounds around him.

Tsubaki smiled as he watched the small boy scamper enough. He was that scary, wasn't he? After all, the fact that one eye was a eery blue-white and that he had what looked like black tattoos all down one side of his body - not to mention his peircings - could be a bit intimidating. Of course, the boy had no idea of who he was or he would have been much more afraid. In fact, no one outside the Royal Line had ever seen Tsubaki for at least ten years. He was perfectly disguised. But just to make sure... He grabbed a baseball cap from the counter, paid for it, and left the small shop, pulling his long sleeves down over his arms to hide the majority of his markings. He could almost be normal now, with the cap shadowing his face and the sleeves and pant legs covering the majority of his markings, unless one of the people here recognized his markings for what they were - the marks of Pacts - rather than a bit of an obsession with tattoos. Finally, he reached his destination - the flower shop. He came here nearly every day - the only exceptions being when he used flowers from his own garden. The people at the shop recognised him by now, but had no clue as to why he bought so many flowers. They probably thought it was for a girlfriend or soemthing.
((Edited the post. @Nolas: Woo!
Hnn... I good way to interact with Tsubaki would be to have someone who works at the flower shop. After all, he goes there VERY often for reasons that will be revealed. :"D He's so crazy. Sorry if my posts seem a little weird for a while... I'm working on a laptop and the time between when I type a letter and when it appears on the screen is... annoying.... So it's hard to... type normally... Dx I have to deal with it any time I'm at my dad's (which seems to be happening a lot, although I'm usually at my mom's).))

Sitting behind the register, there appeared to be a new worker at the flower shop. Red hair fell slightly over one side of his face and by his grudged expression, he didn't look all happy to be there. A dark green apron had been folded in half and tied around his waist. In one hand he held a copy of what looked to be a 'Country Flowers' magazine, but if one were to be paying attention, it was obvious he was holding another book in front of it. On his chest was a little white and green sticker that announced 'Hi! My name is Kotoro!' A little smiley face was printed on the corner of the nametag. He had only been working at the shop for a few days, yet the smiley was already getting on his nerves. When hearing someone new enter the shop, Kotoro didn't even bother to glance up. He left his one foot propped up on the chair opposite of him as he continued to be engrossed with the magazine in his hand.

Tsubaki looked over at the counter as he entered. There was a new worker he'd never seen before, he was sure. After all, he had been visiting the flower shop nearly every day for the past six months. He knew practically everyone in the shop by appearence, if not by name. He picked out a nice bouqet of white roses with firy orange edges and bits of yellow between the two extreme shades. He walked to the counter. "How much?" The cap was still shadowing his eyes, but he pulled it down further over the left side of his face to make sure that eye was hidden.

It took a moment for Kotoro's light brown eyes to look up at the source of the voice. An obvious sign of curiosity passed over his features once he took in the appearance of the man across the counter. Covered from head to toe, it was almost impossible to make out any of his features. He was mainly used to only women entering the store thus far. The disguised man came as a surprise. Closing the magazine in his hand and setting it in his place, he came to his feet to examine the chosen flowers. "Neat," he commented in a quiet tone. Not having cared to much look around the store since he got the job, he hadn't noticed that particular brand of flower. He looked at a small roster list on the counter showing each flower and their price. Neat and expensive, he noticed. "Those babies will add up to be.. 145.53."

((Yes. <3 He's dropping it on the -bleeep- (=you'll find out. Or not. Most likely you will. It just... shows how crazy he really is... o.O))) He nodded and pulled out a wad of hard cash. "This should be enough." He leaned back slightly, tapping his foot as he waited for his change. His didn;t bother with credit card. They were annoying and they could be traced. Any way, paper money didn't mean anything to him. He had plenty of gold - the land, in particular one island in the chain, was rich with the stuff and it was enough to keep the other countries grovelling. A slight smirk played across his lips as he watched the man who was so obviously out of place behind his small counter. It didn't suit him at all.

(Of course I'll find out! I can't leave a mystery like this unsolved.)
'Rich a**' was the first thing to cross his mind when he spotted the wad of cash. Who would seriously waste so much money on flowers. Maybe he was buying them for some chick he was trying to impress. If someone were trying to impress him, he knew he'd rather be handed the money instead of flowers that'd die in a week. Kotoro glanced up just in time to see that odd smirk on that shielded face of the man across from himself. His eyes immediatly shot back downward, leaving him a little.. disturbed as he finished counting out the other's change. "You're going to end up spoiling whoever these are for," he said, handing over the remaining cash. "Try not to get dumped within the next week."

He smiled. "Don't worry, I won't be dumped." He took his change, pocketed it and took the flowers in hand, making as if to turn away and leave. But he turned back. "After all, how can a dead person possibly dump me?" he asked, that strange smile glinting not only in his smile, but in his eyes - even the one that didn't work - as he turned his head slightly, unconsciously allowing the other to catch a glimpse of his face. ((Nn, by the way, it's winter in the RP, which is why he can get away with his clothes. =o))

A.. dead person? Ok, Kotoro officially labelled this guy as crazy. Once he caught that flash of the other's eyes, the quick appearance of that odd face, his suspicions grew of who the boy might be. He had heard rumors of the missing prince -now supposed king- before, but no one had actually seen him in so long. But still, his curiosity questioned- "Woah, wait one second.. Tsubaki, right?" the red-head asked curiously. He couldn't help but check. If his probably unlikely suspicions were right, what would the guy be doing out in disguise buying flowers for a dead person?

Tsubaki looked up. "Tsubaki? Sorry, nope. My name's Aoi," he said with that same, strange smile. It was his alias, of course. But the man knew - or, at least, suspected - that he was Tsubaki. Perhaps he should kill him as well, as he had killed any of the servents who might have known his identity. He had always kept hidden from even them and only the royal family had known of him. It was as if he had vanished.

"Aoi, huh?" Kotoro mused, masking any of the slight disappointment for the possibility this could be just an ordinary guy. But then again, he couldn't be too ordinary. Not with those markings, not with that eye. "My mistake.. I just think that Tsubaki kid is kind of a p*ssy for hiding away all these years, you see. Then again, that's just me. After all, we've got lively guys like you prancing around delivering flowers to dead people. What more does this world need?" A rhetorical question.

He smiled. "Sorry if I disapoint you. Anyway, who's to say Tsubaki's actually alive? Maybe an enemy nation killed them all and masked it by saying he did it," he said with a shrug. "You never know, do you?" He grinned at the man's words. "Well, we also have people like you who pretend to be reading flower magazines instead of just admitting that they don't like their new job."
