You sit quietly on a rickety boat as it sails its way through the waters towards a large mass of land. You've heard many stories of this place. The church here is a very renowned and famous church for taking many people from far away lands under their wing and guiding them to aid God. This is, of course, your destination. The church has summoned you and you answered their call.
The mid-summer air is warm, but on the boat the breeze is cool and the air feels good. As the boat nears shore, you glance up to the sky. You do not see what you are looking for, but you know that it's out there. A red star has accompanied the moon as long as you can remember. For some reason, though, only you are able to see it.
This could be why the church has called you here. You have been touched by God, and that means you were destined to come here, to go to the church and to explore what it means.
The boat finally makes its way to the beach and you are helped out and escorted to the church. As you approach the doors, a smiling priest greets you. "Welcome to the land of Fuuka."
((Welcome to my very first RP, HIMED, inspired by Jennifer Keiri's very successful Dark Ages RP and the anime, Mai HiME. Unfortunatley, all of teh HIME spots are taken up. If you would still like to play, you can be a non-HIME character. If you couldn't guess, this takes place in the dark ages. I suppose this will start out with just my friends and I (in fact, I doubt it becomes anything more than that) but I'd still like to say that you do NOT need to have seen the series in order to play through (in fact, that might make things a little more interesting...). If you haven't seen Mai HiME and plan on doing so, be warned that this RP could contain spoilers.
For those who have no clue what Mai HiME is, I'll give a quick overview. A HiME is basically a girl that has the mysterious power to create a weapon at her will and to summon a beast known as a 'Child'. The HiMEs use their abilities and their Childs at their discretion, but are often pitted against monsters known as 'Orphans'. At first, your character won't know that she is a HiME, nor of the powers she wields. These shall be revealed to her in the RP. That is about all I can say without ruining anything right off the bat, and hopefully it is enough to get started on.
Now that the introductions have been made, let's get started, shall we? The first thing you need to do is create your character. *gasp* Who'd have thought? Here is the character info needed:
Name: (If a nickname is supplied, and you want your character's 'real' name secret, PM me with it so I know)
Age: (can be any age you wish. HiMEs aren't bound by age.)
Appearance: (Please include the location of the HiME birthmark that identifies you as a HiME (it's a little symbol), and what clothing they wear. Believe me, it WILL make a difference)
Weapon: (Leave this blank until you are given one by me. After that, you can edit your post and fill it in)
Child: (Same as 'Weapon')
Background: (Please be as detailed as possible. Include relationships and feelings towards people of your character's past and present. If you do not give me enough to work on here, I will have to make a lot of decisions FOR your character eventually. So the more descriptive you are, the better.)
I realize that I have left little to go on, but trust me, I know what I'm doing. The story shall be reveled as we go on.
NEW RULES: Now that the Childs and weapons have begun to appear, I need to set a few things: In order to summon your Child, simply call out its name, but you end your post shortly after calling it. Don't assume that it came out. There may be certain factors that will prevent it from coming. The same goes for the weapons. So, when you call your Child or weapon (just say you create it) wait until I confirm that what you want has come out. Also, here is wher I must stress not God Moding. If your Child dies, you are no longer a HiME, but that does not mean that you are out of the RP. If YOU die, then don't be a sore loser.
Also, I want to state that when your Child fights, it is not limited to the abylaties techniques I've given it. All Childs can fight with their physical forms. Like if your child has a horn, he can gore with it! Or if he has legs, he can kick! Also, if you have any ideas for further abilities for your Child, discuss them with me. And finally, if you do not know how to pronounce your Child's name, ask either me or Penny (she's pretty good at it).
DISCLAIMER: I'm not exactly sure what company makes Mai HiME (and I DO intend to find out once the laziness wears off) but I certainly did not make it. I am making no money off of this, and am just using the HiME idea to play a game.
As always, standard RP rules apply. Have fun.))

Name: Gwyneth Ashdown IV
Age: 23
Appearance: Gwyneth has long, stright black hair. Her eyes are a soft, yet extremlty unremarkable, blue. The HiME mark is under her left breast and is something that she has assumed as a birthmark for all her life. She is pretty much unremarkable in anyway. If it wasn't for her fancy clothing, it would be easy to pass her by on the street.
Weapon: A brown book (looks to be made from a tree) that can tell her where everyone is at that moment in time (as long as she had looked them in the eye for at least a second before).
Child: "Gakuro"- A giant owl. Hehas black, brown and white feathers. His three eyes are large and orange. He has three legs, and large talons. There are three long, thin spike-like feathers on the top of his head. He can hypnotize opponents and make them hallucinate and see images (think mirages) but can't distort their reality (so they will be aware of what all is around them.) He can fire a very destructive beam of light from its mouth. He is a little bigger than Gwyneth.
Background: Gwyneth is the youngest child of Lord Ashdown, a fairly influencial lord of the outer realms. As the youngest of three sisters, she was often treated as the 'baby' of the family and sometimes coddled. However, this is not without good reason, as she has been sickly since birth and continues to be anemic and weak to this day. Since her physical strength was not the best, she devoted herself to a secret-scholarly life, sneaking peeks at histories and journals when she could. She hopes to become a lady worthy of her father's home and finally live down her legacy as the 'weak' and 'sickly' one.

Name: Gracie Sheffield
Age: 17
Appearance: Long matted blue hair that is very unkept and tangled. Her eyes are dull green, almost looking defeated and sad. She wears dirty, torn rags. Her HiME mark is right under her left eye, but it is almost completely masked with dirt.
Weapon: A long, thin sword with a pattern of precious stones in the handle. The blade is decorated with the same types of stones, actually within the metal.
Child: "Iwatsuishi"- A golem made of hard stone. He has sapphire, ruby, emerald and crystal stones embedded in hislimbs running from his wrists and ankles up to its torso. He has no mouth, but four big eyes of each color of stone. His arms and legs are very large and solid. He is very strong and durable, but slow.
Background: Gracie was born to a poor family along with her two sisters, Wanna and Silvie. Unfortunately, her family's financial situation went from bad to worse in the small town they lived in, and both her parents died of an unknown illness. This forced her and her younger sisters to the streets where they have been struggling to live. For several years, they survived off of dirty water from a pond and stolen bread from a nearby market, occasionally making a little money here and there by working with her sisters to swindle people in fake street performances. Unfortunately, they were eventually caught. Their fate had all but been decided until a priest noticed the birthmark on Gracie's face. Once the words "She's been touched by God. She's been chosen!" were uttered, Gracie and her sisters were brought before the king. A matter of days later, she and here sisters were sent to the land of Fuuka without so much as an explanation.

Name: Elizabeth (Liz) Teller
Age: 16
Appearance: Her Hime Mark; on her right shoulder blade. She has short brown hair, and freckles on just her nose. Her eyes are a bright green, and her skin as white as snow.
Weapon: A crystal-blue shield (translucent) with a silver rim. It is as tall as Elizabeth, in the shape of an irregular octagon, with a large spike in the center.
Child: "Katame"- A giant turtle. She is very slow, but built like a tank- almost nothing can penetrate her shell. She has a large crossbow-like gun above her head that can launch a giant harpoon attached to a chain. She can also eat very, very quickly. Katame can also store a lot of water within her shell and can spit it out at will (the water is clean and fresh). She is about the size of a horse. She can retract into her shell for protection.
Background: She was born into a noble family, her father a knight for the kingdom, her mother just a noble women with a very nice dowry attached to her. Elisabeth, or Liz as everyone called her loved her mother, her father always being away, never knew him very well, so all of her effection was turned on her mother. Her mother cared for her and never left her daughter to be cared for by the houses maides. One day her father never returned home, there had been a small war building, and all forces were called to put an end to the fight. They feared the worst, Liz's mother was heart broken, and soon after loosing her husband she became very ill and died of her sickness, they never figured out what it was that she died of, but they assumed that she was so heart broken over the loss of her beloved husband that she couldn't bare to live without him. Liz wouldn't except this, her father was never there, her mother loved her more, but after the depression of loss had set in, she decided that she would never love anyone again, but she was young at the time, and being the only child and now the heir to her parents estate, but too young to officially be incharge the church decided to send her to Fuuka where she would grow and one day (or so they said) Take over where her family left off. She excepted this, but only because she had no choice, plus she was heart broken and alone. So she was put on a boat, and on her way.

She woke up near the road where she found her families carrage ablaze and her family nowhere to be found. With hatred in her heart she became a theif head hunter and searched the lands for the band of theifs who killed her family. One day while she was praying for her family for a sign from above to who and where the theifs she is searching for are. While doing this she was overheard by the priest. While he came over to her to confort her he saw her mark behind her ear. He said, "You child are gifted by god and I believe that if you go to Fuuka you shall meet your destiny." Heeding the words of the priest Sara headed off to Fuuka.

((Well, it would seem that I am ready to start up.))
You sit inside a nicely built stone church along with four other girls. They all look just like you: confused and unsure of what exactly will happen to you. All you know is that when someone saw your birthmark, the words "She's gifted!" came up, and you were sent here.
The priest that brought you in continued to smile warmly, making you feel welcome, but still nervous. "Father Conner shall be here shortly. Please rest from your journies, and perhaps get to know each other. I will return with water and food."
With that, the priest turned and vanished behind a door in the back of the church.

Gracie sat towards the back of the church, not saying a word and not really looking at anyone. She had been cleaned up before she was sent here and it made her feel unnatural. she was also very worried about her sisters who had accompanied her on this trip. She didn't know where they were, or if they were safe. All three of them were in hot water due to getting caught, so she wasn't sure what would heppen to them.

*Once the priest left Liz curled up in the chair bringing her legs in close and wrapping her arms around them. She didn't want to talk to the other girls, she figured they were here to be taught by the church so they could be proper heirs just like her. She stared at the ceiling, the memories of her mother passing through her mind, small tears started to fall down her cheecks, but she shook her head and wiped them away, pushing the memories to the back of her mind, and tried to think about what the future may hold for her. She continued to look at the ceiling.*

Name: Anguline Mclaen
Age: 20
Appearance: Anguline has a lean figure, only granting her long blue hair to accent her form. Her hair is down to her lower thighs, and she either brades it, or keeps it in a bun. Her lips are often described as pouty, even though she often doesn't show emotion. Her cheecks are full despite the lack of nutrition in her village. She has emerald coloured eyes that only seem bigger because of her glasses. Her tanned skin is a result of her often reading on the village beach. She is never seen without a book that has caught her intrest or the Bible. She wears a gray long-sleeve shirt and a dark red wrist band on her left arm in memory of all that she has lost. Her lower half is covered by a long/medium dress. Often the colour of her garb is gray or black because that is all that she can afford.
Weapon: A long whip with a yellow spike at the end. Small, purple blades dot the length of the whip. It has a yellow handle with another yellow spike at the end.
Child: "Kitsuni"- Two foxes, both about the size of wolves. Kitsumoru has purple fur, and Kitsugeki has orange. A trail of large spikes lines their backs. Kitsumoru can create a small shield around herself and Anguline, and Kitsugeki can fire a blast from his mouth. Both are fast and evasive.
Background: As a child, Anguline's mother died in a village attack. Her father was left to tend to her as she grew into the intelectual writer that she is today. She spends most of her time either reading the church Bible, or venturing to her own pieces. She hopes that one day she will be skilled enough to scribe a new testamate. One day when she was tending to the vegtable garden, her father collapsed, grasping his chest in agony. The town doctor told Anguline that her father has fallen ill with a disease that if not treated will kill him. He said to her that the only herbs stoped growing many years ago. Heart-broken at the desparity that had befallen her she went to the church to pray. Cluching her hand together, crying to God, she was noticed by the priest. He leaned over and gasped in astomishment at the mark that was on the back of her left index nuckle. He immediately grabed Anguline and took her into his private quarters. In the confines of that room he told her the origins of the mark and about the church in the land of Fuuka. Not long after her father passed on and with his body burried she set out for Fuuka.

Sara looks at the other girls that were gathered and wonders how they are all related to her. She hasen't been very social since the accident so she decides to sit with a bit of distance from the rest of the girls. She thinks this little trip is a waist of time so far and believes that she should still be looking for those murderous thieves but she will stay and hear out what the priest has to say.

Soon, the priest returned with a pitcher of water and six tin cups. He sets them down on a nearby table and takes a look around the room. "Well, aren't you all a social bunch." He let out a soft chuckle and turned away again. "Father Conner is almost ready to speak with you." Again, he left to the back.
