Rules
· Follow Gaia's ToS! No exceptions!
· Listen and obey the owners at all times!
 That means my sister and me! We are the owners of this roleplay and worked hard to make it. Adhere to our rules, or you will be banished from this roleplay and any others we decide to make.
· No Godmodding!
You CANNOT take over what someone else’s character does. The only way out of this is if you PM the person you wish to temporarily take over and get their consent, then PM an owner or staff member.
· No Cybering!
If you must do this, DO NOT use gaia. It is against the rules! Use another means of communication!
· Keep all romance PG-13!
This is a PG-13 at most rated site, please keep it as well. Besides, if you don’t, you can get banned from gaia.
· Be at least Semi-Literate!
When your character is talking, use the quotation marks.
When your character is doing an action, write it out! No *she walks down the hallway*!! NONE!
When your character is thinking, either put it in italic text or use this method: 'What have I gotten myself into.'
When you are talking out of character, use (( )), [ ], or { }. I will not accept ( ) because you can be mistaken for still being in character.
· No god characters!
You cannot have all powers! No one-touch-and-you-are-dead powers! Your profile should not seem god-like in ANY WAY! Get it? Got it! Good!
· Be respectful to everyone at all times (especially the owners)!

I DO NOT want to see any profiles of an anime show or manga! Be unique! Create a character from scratch or use one you made one day that you normally use! Do not steal one from another person.

· PM all profiles to the owners.
We wish to accept your profiles. After we’ve given you our consent, you can post your profiles on the topic so other members can see them. If we see something wrong with it, we will give you a chance to fix it. When PMing your profiles to one of the owners, make the subject The Boundary Lines and at the very end of your profile, put Mr. Sandman. Stealing someone’s profile is stupid. You do not have to write in complete sentences when making your profile.
· Telepathy
Please refrain from using this as your power if you live in the Magical Realm. It can really mess a good roleplay up. We will not allow this to be one of your powers.
· Put Literature back in English class!
Try to detail your posts enough to have at least four lines. I know at times it’s hard to write a lot, but the more you try the easier it gets. The more detail there is the finer it is to read, however, don’t over do it. When putting literature back into English, you wont use the same words over and over again. Look at how much difference it can make.
BAD!
The girl faced forward and said, “It’s pretty.” She sat down. The girl ate and slept.
GOOD!
The girl had an amazed look on her face as she looked around at the new scenery. “Wow, This is beautiful.

After consuming the delicious meal, she headed to her sleeping bag for a goodnights rest.

Yin & Yang's Biography
In a certain Chinese family, every fourth generation, Yin and Yang twins are born. If not already past on before the next arrival, the previous twins die just before the mother to the new brother and sister gives birth. With the amount of power that Yin and Yang hold, the mother of the newborns passes away about ten minutes after giving birth to the second baby. The mother knows before she gets pregnant for the first time that she will die. Using their time wisely, each mother of the Yin and Yang twins bless the children after naming them. Most cases, the father expects a great deal of responsibility, however, in one instant, the father had no idea about the Yin and Yang twins. After calling his father-in-law, the Yin and Yang father asked why his kids were acting odd.
“They seem to be using magical abilities and I can’t explain any of this. Do you know anything about it?” He was very confused, but the grandfather explained well. Trying to control his children to the best of ability, he found that he could not raise them and hide their powers from the world. The father once again spoke with his father-in-law. Both had agreed that the twins should be put up for adoption; it was the only way out. “Aren’t the people who look at them for adoption going to find it odd that they have powers?” The father was curious, but the grandfather was very wise.
“You are right, they will find it strange, indeed. I will make them an ancient charm bracelet that seals their powers from being used until they are old enough to understand why they must hide their gifts.” The grandfather visited the twins the day that they were to go up for adoption. He placed a charm bracelet on Yin, and another on Yang. After wishing them both luck, the father and grandfather released them to the center, hopefully to be adopted.
Neither Yin, nor Yang lasted very long in the adoption center; as fate had led them, their worlds forever split. Yin and Yang lived in separate homes now, to grow up and eventually grow out of their charm bracelets. When Yin and Yang found that their charm bracelet was too small, they set it aside. From years of building energy, their powers blasted with such a force that it could be felt for miles; many people thought there was an earthquake.
After the short but powerful release, Yin and Yang’s individual powers lingered with them. They couldn’t explain the cause or what was occurring, all they knew was it had to stop before someone saw them. After figuring out how to shut down their powers and what the charm bracelets did, Yin and Yang started to train alone so that they could learn to control their abilities.
Now with the charm bracelets no longer protecting themselves, Yin and Yang switch symbols for one day, their day of birth. Their personalities completely change as does their hair color and what they like. Through the years, they had to keep it all a secret. Now, Yin and Yang stand seventeen and with no knowledge that the other even exists. Will this ever change? Is there something more to the Chinese Yin and Yang symbol? Only time will tell.

Yang woke up from a deep sleep and thought to himself, Yesterday was horrible, I hate my birthday. He had been sleeping in a run down apartment scheduled for demolition. Yang ran away from his home a year ago for fear that someone would find out about his powers and because of his parents selfish and bloodthirsty ways. His adopted parents were the only people he had ever showed anger toward because they would use his brother and him for manual labor and they would beat him if he did something wrong. His parents were always drunk and would act violent toward him.
His brother and him would talk about running away and when the day finally came he found out that his parents killed his brother. They told Yang that if he ever told anyone, they would kill him. A couple of days later he was thinking about his brother when his parents were not home. He got so mad that he used all of his anger built up inside of him as his fire power and released it all at once, burning the house down. When he realized what he had done he ran away so no one would find out. Last he saw of his parents they were on the run looking to kill him so he wouldn't tell anyone what horrible deeds they had done.
Yang got up sluggishly and yawned. He went outside to smell the fresh morning air when he heard a huge explosion. He looked behind him and saw the building coming down piece by piece. "Glad I got out of there in time," he said to himself while running to the nearest restaurant. He went in and enjoyed the scenery of it while waiting to get a table. Yang was shown to his table and and ordered his food. Starting to daydream, like usual, Yang stared smiling at the ceiling.

“Beep, Beep, Beep!” The alarm rang its wake up call. Smack! “Be-“ Silence at last. Hoping to get more sleep, the teen rolled over, trying to find her comfort zone. From behind the door, the girl heard two little voices whispering. She was prepared. The door creaked open slowly and one of the little voices shushed the other. The two had reached the bed and bounced on either side of the girl.
One pulled her black hair back so that they could see her face, while the other shook a can of shaving cream. The door creaked closed with no one there. Both of the kids looked at each other, then looked back at the girl. Once their attention was on her, she opened her eyes then her mouth. Out came black bats that morphed into many different illusions, making screams shrill from the kids. Thumps grew toward the door, and quickly, the girl’s mouth and eyes closed once again. Just before the door was opened, the illusions vanished.
“What are you doing in Yin’s room? What have I told you two? Thomas, Michael, I’ll see you two in the living room after you apologize to her.” That’s Yin’s father figure, John Astoon. It was a married American couple that had adopted her when she was little. They tried but couldn’t have a child of their own, however, eight years after adopting Yin, twin boys came from the mother’s womb. From then on, being an older sister was a responsibility that Yin promised the two. The parents, however, got on Yin’s nerves a lot, but she didn’t show that she was agitated; she barely showed any emotion.
The two boys were caught red handed, but Yin wasn’t in her bed. “It’s no problem.” Out from the shadows, by her closet, Yin reappeared. The twins adored her, as she did them, so when they found her training one day, she made them promise not to tell anyone. She could trust them. Thomas and Michael ran out of Yin’s room, giggling.
John looked at Yin and walked out, closing the door while he told her that breakfast was ready. Yin opened her closet and found that everything was girly from yesterday. “Good Lord.” Yin released her darkness to dye her clothes back to black. She hated her birthday. Looking through her closet while the darkness was finishing restoring her clothes back to normal, Yin decided what to wear to school.
After getting ready for school, Yin made her way to the kitchen, book bag in hand. She silently ate her waffles and drank her milk that had been laid out for her. While she was rinsing her plate, the doorbell rang and Yin knew it was for her. She said her goodbyes and headed out the door, meeting up with her two friends. Not emo, not gothic, but it was a small group of their own that liked to wear black. In fact, it was their favorite color.

Yang was still day dreaming so he didn't see when a group of about five of his friends walked up to his table. Among these five were Yangs best friends, Jake and Ron. Jake was a year younger than him and was a little shorter. He had short brown hair and was just as muscular as Yang. He wore white baggy pants and a green shirt. Yang met Jake in karate class while Jake was beating him in a sparing match, they have been best friends ever since. Ron was a little taller than Yang and was thinner. He had spiked red hair and was wearing a long white and green jersey and long green pants. They met when Ron was getting beaten up by a group of bullies. Yang saved him and they became best friends. White and green was picked out when they were younger to be there colors because they were there favorites. These were the only two he ever showed his powers to. Since they were childhood friends he knew he could trust them.
Jake walked up closer to the table and lifted his hand forming it into a fist. He slammed it on the table and Yang jumped up with a surprised look. He looked at his friends serious and there was a five second pause. Then all of a sudden all of them burst out laughing. "Sit down, take a load off," he said while siting back down. Yang looked at Jake who was just siting down and said, "So what brings you to my side of the neighborhood."
Jake laughed and said, "Just coming to see an old friend. You stopped coming to karate practice so we came looking for you. When we found out that your house got burned down we thought you had died. Then we heard about you in the news a couple days ago and came to look for you. Now, here we are."
The waitress came with Yang's food and set it on the table. He looked at his friends and said, "How about a round of soda on me." Everyone at the table nodded there heads in agreement and Yang turned to the waitress. "If you don't mind me and my friends would like some soda please." She looked at him and said in response, "Not at all." Then she walked off to get the drinks.
They started to talk about the things they have done, people they have seen, and places all of them have been. Yang looked toward the door and saw his adopted parents walk through. He got up quickly and said, "I am very sorry but I must go." While Yang ran toward the back door he waved back and said, "I hope we can finish this conversation some other time." He ran out the door and down the street as fast as he could Without looking back.

While walking to school, the short black haired girl with red highlights talked a little to Yin. She was part of their group and Yin's friend, but she couldn't act more gossip-like. Yin loved her though. She had many brain farts and would gossip a lot, but forever and a day, they had been best friends. Lindsay said, “Lunch?”
“Sandwich.”
“Got it.”
“Like always.”
“Now, if she’d just get it through her thick skull.” Lindsay and Yin laughed. Only the two of them could ever get her to do that. The twins wouldn’t know where to begin. Nick had natural black hair and natural brains, unlike Lindsay. He was tall, lean, had short hair, and all the girls crushed on him, but he didn’t care.
Even Lindsay had once crushed on him, but she likes him more as a friend now. Yin hides her feelings so well that you wouldn’t know if she liked him as a friend or more. So the answer to that question is: who knows? Yin once thought she’d show her power to her two best friends, but thought about it more and decided not to. She wants to eventually though.

Yang looked at his watch and started to run faster, "I'm going to be late for school if I don't hurry up." He had been going to a new school so his parents wouldn't find him and would change schools if they found out where he was. He turned the corner and saw the school on his left, "Finally, I'm here. Maybe if I hurry I can get to class on time." Yang was looking at the school and did not notice the group of friends all wearing black. He turned his head at the last moment and saw the group in front of him. He opened his eyes wide in surprise skidding to a halt almost running into a skinny girl with shoulder length black hair and side bangs.
"I'm very sorry," he said while bowing quickly. "I was not paying attention to where I was going. I should have been more careful. If there is anything I could do to make it up to you than meet me hear after school at four. Right now I must get to class or I will be late." Yang runs off and looks back, "And again, I am very sorry." He turns his head back around and runs off as fast as he can to his class.

Yin saw the boy and stopped walking; she didn’t like to run. The boy just yapped his jaw and ran. Lindsay, as talkative as she was had to say something, “That boy! I swear, I’ll knock him out!” She raised her fist and shook it at the boy who was running away. Yin was staring at a wall but when Lindsay finished talking, she looked at her quizzically.
“You couldn’t hit a fly, you have bad aim and you’re a coward.” Yin always told the truth, blunt or not. Okay, so she didn’t always tell the truth, but she always told her friends the truth. If she was with other people, she would lie through her teeth to keep her image so that everyone would stay away with her, except for those who where with her now and the twins.
“Put your fist down now, it’s of no use, now or ever.” Yin smiled at Nick’s comment. Lindsay looked at Nick and shook her fist at him. “Now, now wannabe, let’s not get mad.”
“I’ll show you a wannabe!” Lindsay started to jump so that she could prove him wrong. Yin caught her book bag as she leaped off the ground. Lindsay turned to face her. “You are sticking with him? What! Aren’t you my friend?”
“I befriended the two of you. I don’t want to have a war going on. Not now, not ever.” Yin never looked up from the ground since she pulled Lindsay down from her leap. Lindsay saw Nick smile and she looked at him as if she wanted to tell her and he shook his head as to say, ‘You’ve said enough.’

Yang skidded to a halt throwing up dust in front of the front doors of the school. "This is one big school" he said while looking around to examine the front of the building. He slowly walked in opening the doors in front of him and looked around the hall. "Well, I better go to the office. I wonder where it's at." Yang started to walk around and noticed wherever he went there were no people. "They must all be in class" he said while continuing slowly down a long hall. When he reached the end of the hall he saw a sign that said, 'Main office this way' and had an arrow pointing forward. Yang walked into the office and went to the front desk.
The woman at the desk looked at Yang and said, "Hello, my name is Deloris. You must be the new student. We were expecting you. "She handed Yang a sheet of paper and pointed at the chairs behind him. "You go sit down there and we will call you up when we have your class list ready." Yang turned around while looking at the paper and sat down. He took out a pencil and started to fill it out.

About five minutes later, Yin, Lindsay and Nick arrived at school. Being late today wasn't going to be a big problem. This school was the only one in a hundred mile radius that held its pep rallies in the mornings to get everyone awake for class. No one was forced to go to them, but almost everyone went. Lindsay tried to get Yin and Nick to go one day but failed horribly.
The three of them had five more minutes before the bell would ring to let others know the pep rally was over. Yin and Nick waved as Lindsay walked across the school to her locker. Since kindergarten, Nick and Yin had been friends. Lindsay didn’t become either of their friend’s until third grade. Nick and Yin had the same homeroom and therefore always picked lockers near each other.
The school made everyone go to homeroom before the students went to their first period classes. Grabbing the books she needed, Yin headed off to her class where Nick was waiting. “Another dull day, just waiting to happen.”
“You expected more?” Nick raised an eyebrow and then let out a small laugh while rearranging his face into a small smile.
“As if.” Yin slid down the wall she was leaning against while waiting for the day to begin. She smiled a bit, but because she was sliding down the wall, Nick didn’t catch it. “I’ll be happy when school ends. I have something to show you two today.” Yin blurted it out, thinking about her charm bracelet and powers. There was no stopping it, so she let it slide.
“Show us what?”
“You’ll see in time, and maybe have to suffer a longer day then me.”
“Well, that’s not fair.”
“As fair as it gets.” The bell rang and the class started to fill up. After the stampede ended, both of them went inside and sat down.
The teacher was just outside. There was cheerleader that intended to sit in front of Yin everyday. She whispered to one of her friends. “Watch this!” Looking to see when the teacher was to come inside, she slapped the side of her head and raised her hand. “Mrs. Fern! Yin slapped me!” The cheerleader always acted like she was two instead of seventeen. This happened everyday.
“Yin, office!” Nick and Lindsay told her to do something about it, but she said that she’d rather not. They all know that one-day, she’s going to get what’s coming to her though. Yin was walking to the door while the teacher was watching her. Nick slapped the baby, stood up and followed Yin before the cheerleader could say a word. Mrs. Fern knew why. Up at the office, both entered without a word and sat down. Neither of them noticed the boy that had almost ran into them earlier.

Yang looked just over the paper to see who came in. He realized it was the girl he almost ran into earlier and hid is face behind the paper hoping she wouldn't see him. He noticed she was with another student. He was a tall short hared guy wearing all black. He got up slowly and walked with his head held low to the desk. Yang put the piece of paper on the desk and went to sit back down in the same chair as before.
He started tapping his foot impatiently and he thought, What is taking them so long. I mean, how long dose it take to get a persons schedule ready. He got up and got a drink of water from the water fountain just outside the office. Yang started pacing around the hall and finally went back in.
"Yang, I have your schedule ready," said the woman at the front desk. He took the schedule from Deloris and looked over it making sure she didn't make any errors. He looked at one of his classes and started smiling. Yes, I'm in band this year! I have always wanted to be in band, he thought to himself.
Deloris looked at Yang and said, "Now all we have to do is find you a guide so you can get around the school." Yang looked at her and nodded. He bowed respectfully and said,"Thank you very much." He went back to his seat and pondered over his schedule.

Yin and Nick noticed the boy; neither of them turned their heads to show it and no words were exchanged. When the boy had left however, Yin started to talk with Nick. “You going to keep doing that?”
“Doing what?”
“Hitting Claire each time she acts like a two year old.” Yin looked at him. “You can get in a lot of trouble for it.”
“I take responsibility for my actions. Plus, if she’s going to blame you for something that never happened to her, she should have something to complain about.” Nick never looked at her. It was one of his touchy subjects. “People should get what’s coming to them.” He hates the popular people. They are almost always snobs at this school.
There was silence until the boy that had left came back in. He received his schedule and some talk about a guide. Before long, Yin was called in to the principal’s office. “Yin!” Mrs. Deloris smiled when she noticed the two kids names went together like peas in a pod.
“Yang,” she said after a couple minutes had passed. “I think I found your guide.” Nick heard Mrs. Deloris call the boy Yang. Yin and Yang, huh? He shrugged it off. Maybe that’s what she wants to show us… Nick thought about what Yin would reveal to Lindsay and him later.
