Welcome to Gaia! ::

OK, it sounds a little out of place here, buty bear with me...

In a sprawling city, (known as Maygatrpolis) busy with the rush of modern life, there are thousands of citizens, all caught up in their urbanite lives.

However, there is an undercurrant, a movement unheard by most. A war, brewing between Spirits and the Living. The spirits have contaminated some individuals, causing them to gain freakish powers. It scares some, but some it twists, corrupts...

But its not the first time it has happened.
There are five beings who survived the last time, and they can tell what will happen. They have decided to guide the next generation of powered beings, or "Spirit Witches". Will they be able to stop the spirits from overtaking Maygatropolis? Will the world be next??

Gaia Name Sara-ane
Character Name Kai Genkoden
Group developing
Age 16
Description

Powers (if experienced)
Background/other info
Kai's had a rough life. He assumes he was born into your typical loving family but who can be sure? He has no idea how he got the long jagged scar that he keeps covered at all times with a black ribbon on his neck and he isn't too sure that he wants to know.
What he does know is that he spent the majority of his life as one of those poor expolited kids you see on T.V. yeah, those. He finally escaped around when he turned ten and still has night terrors that his old 'masters' will find him.
He's terribly shy and downright skiddish around strangers. Most people are really surprised when they find out how old he is. He figures it's due to the lack of food and all that 'explotation' that was being done to him.
He doesn't talk much which earned him the name Kat, for being so quiet. He lived on the streets for about a year and it nearly killed him. Luckilly, he managed to tug at Lucille's, an old spinster that owns a small anything and everything shop, heart strings and she took him in as a stock boy and sometimes an, extremely reluctant, cashier. He has a little room in the apartment upstairs.

Gaianame: Can o whoop a**
Character Name: Morgan Oltman
Group:developing
Age:16
Desciption:

Backround: Lived in a boarding school hiding her powers, but dropped out recently to find out more about them.

Gaia Name Ryore
Character Name Donavin O'Ralldi
Group developing
Age 17
Description
Powers (if experienced) N/A
Background/other info Donavin has always been a show off and a bit of a popular, he has an up beat attitude and a positive outlook on life that makes others rather attracted to him. He is a bit clumsy though, he tends to trip over his own feet and despite his outgoing behavior he can be pretty shy when he is not in a crowd (strange I know, but some people are backwards). He grew up with a nice family and is an only child which explains some of his cocky behavior.

Gaia Name: xEarthsxeyesx
Character Name: Amaya Cinahi
Group: developing
Age: 15
Description:
Background/other info: She didn't know her father, he died when she was around two, but his death left a mark on her mother. She is often reading, or staring at the sky, which leaves Amaya to do many things on her own and for her mother. She has many friends but does not invite many people over to her own house often. This is her usual daily rutine; go to school, and then go earn some quick cash by playing her guitar on the streets or selling her own stunning art. She has also recently applied for a job at a small cafe. She does this because her mother only makes enough money to support one person. Amaya is left to buy her own food, and clothes. Her mother simply lets her live along side her in the house and once and a while throws her an insult, and even rarley flashes her a smile. She used to care...even slightly, until she was around 12 years old and her powers appeared. She would mess around with things in her house, they would fly across a room with just her mind. She would bring home stray animals, claiming to hear them talk to her. These things she could do completely with her mind. Now, at the age of 15 she is worried, she used them recklasly in the past and was now learning how to control them. They are still developing and in an adolesant stage though. She tries her best to keep her powers hidden from the world, even though when she's around something might unexplainably fly across a room or a spoon mysteriously bend or even find her talking to an animal. She doesn't want anyone to know about her family life or her developing powers.
She is smart, persevering, kind to people kind to her, independent, and when needed, she can be very sly and talk her way out of almost anything. Which has helped her earn money. She seems fragile but is the complete opposite of fragile. She is also very stubborn and curious, and both traits get her in to a lot of trouble. She also loves nature.

((Great rp idea by the way! ^^ Is this an ok power? She can move things with her mind or tap in to animals minds. That's all she can do so far, she can't force anyone to do anything, and so far can't tap in to any persons mind.))

Description

Powers Flight, Healing, And can manipulate the wind

No one knows where she came from or who she used to be. She just popped up in town one day and started going around healing people. Some think of her as a holy priestess, some as a wicked witch in sheep's clothing.
She always speaks in a melodious soft tone and her laugh is like the tinkling of small bells. It has been said that to hear her voice sing can lift you out of any depression. No one knows if that's true or not.
She is very wise and is also sought after for her advice on different matters. She seems very patient and kind but who knows?
Yes, the government would love to get it's hands on her. They just never seem to be able to catch her...

Gaia Name Kaydell
Character Name: Gianni (Her real name is Jo)
Group: Experienced
Age :21
Description
Powers: astral projection, pyrokinesis
Background/other info : Jo was dumped on the doorstep of a childless old couple wrapped in a blue blanket and with a scrap of paper with only two words on it. The couple took her in and named her Johanna, guessing that was whomever dumped her there's intentions. When she was sisxteen, Gianni was involved in a freak explosion accident and when the survivors were rescued from the rubble, she was completely unscathed. That was the beginning of the end. When her powers began to show, sometimes violently, they tried their best to control it but when her adpotive father got hurt in about of temper tantrum, Jo decided to leave before she caused more damage. She's had to "learn" to control these strange new powers on her own and without much help.

Gaia Name: Lira-chan
Character Name: Acheron
Age: Twenty-Five
Description: Acheron is relatively tall but not particularly "filled out" despite his apparent age. He's lanky bordering on skinny, possessed of stringy muscle on bone but little muscle tone or fat. His face is oval-shaped and "long," bordering on gaunt. He could be considered malnourished-looking, but could also be considered handsome, if you go for that sort of thing. His complexion is olive-toned; otherwise it doubtlessly would have gone pale and sickly-looking from lack of exposure to sunlight. Lack of natural light or no, said skin is completely devoid of blemish or mar, wherever one might look. Acheron's hair is a dark forest green shade, not quite shoulder length, lank, and usually tied back in a sort of tail, despite the fact that this by no means prevents long, unkempt bangs from falling into dark, slanted eyes. Said eyes are technically dark brown in coloration, sharp despite being somewhat sunken, and would probably be mistaken as black were it not for the few scant flecks of gold the dark irises boast.
Powers: Acheron can manipulate people's feelings of happiness or sadness; he induces, removes, or strengthens either feeling. He is also mildly telepathic; he catches stray thoughts and can converse mentally with other telepaths or those open to suggestion.
Background/other info: Dislikes any and all physical pain with a violent sort of loathing, and hates any visible signs of another's endurance for such pain because he himself is very susceptible and sensitive to it; seems almost emotionless himself, but tends to almost revel in rash displays of emotion put on by others; is very manipulative and doesn't hesitate to exploit others' emotional weaknesses, especially with his ability to control and inflict either joy or sorrow.

Background-wise, Acheron has always lived in Maygatropolis. He was pretty much a non-entity throughout school. His powers came with the onset of puberty and since first coming into said powers Acheron has practiced his skills often, frequently on unsuspecting people, and has become quite proficient with his abilities. Job-wise, Acheron is skilled as a hacker and sees no reason to pursue a “day job.” He also spends a fair amount of his time hunting for people of his kind, or other spirit witches.

Gaia Name: Kyprioth07
Character Name: Tsunade Ishikawa
Group: experienced
Age : 22
Description :
The more serious type and inclined to brood over even the smallest problems. Though young, his past experiences have made his knowledge wiser than his years. He is a bit of a loner, but has no objections to company and the likes since he is used to it.
Powers: Telekinesis--the ability to move things with the mind.

Background/other info
Presently, he lives with his fifteen year old brother; Remo and five year old son; Koji. Tsunade's mother had died when he was seventeen and from there he had to take care of his brother and make some type of living. Later he falls in loves with a girl and makes her his wife. Soon they have one child; Koji. For some time they lived in a kind of stability for she had a job and together with him working they could support the family. But like all couples do, they ended up in a very heated argument about how the rent was going to be paid since the car bill was long overdue and on the verge of getting towed again. Tsunade, ignorant of his power, accidentally killed his wife. She had thrown a miniature lamp at him. Not wanting to get hit, his telekinesis sent it flying back at her. The porcelain lamp shattered on her head and she died instantly. Grabbing the infant, he practically runs out the apartment not wanting to get caught and arrested and picks up his brother from high school. He would have given himself up to the police had it not been for the fact that he would be compromising his brother's and son's life. Soon there are much worse problems arising with the Spirits and the Living. Caught up in this conflict, his survival was uncertain and through this time period he trains himself in order to have complete control over his powers and soon fights against the spirit-infected foes. With his drive to protect his remaining family, he was successful…though losing an eye in the process.

Background/other info

unexperienced Witches can develop powers throughout, but will be unstable, so can't simply get out of a problem by suddenly developing the ability to fly or something.
Experienced Spirit Witches may have a familiar (animal aid) that they will play, and developing spirit witches may have a pet that could be turned into a familiar later. I will assign Spirit Witches to each other (experienced as guides to developing).

Thats it for now... i think...

(so are we allowed to start?)

((ah the hell with it. start now!!))

Harriett hit the streets, her bag flung over her shoulder. Another day, another squat house she'd fled before sunrise. Leaving a care home with no money and no plan wasnt the best of ideas, but it was better than staying there. At least she was free. She could go anywhere now, do anything. A stray moggy brushed around her legs, following her as she walked. The black and white tabby brushed against her cheap scruffy skate shoes, purring loudly.
"Hello." Harriett stopped, and stroked the cat. "Arent you sweet. You remind me of my grandmas cat..." She scooped up the cat, identifying it as male, and tickled his belly. She chuckled, the cat purred friendly. "Oh you're gorgeous... you're mine now. I'll look after you. And you can look out for me as well. My names Harriett. Whats yours?"
She heard a voice whisper through her mind
"Morodin"
She glanced around, her eyes widening. Again... she couldnt explain it.
"So morodin... that's your name."
she put the cat donw, and they continued. They seemed to understand each other. They knew already. Harriett was powerful... or would be

In a flat, shabby and badly cared for, in the cheap end of Maygatropolis, an alarm clock set off.
The lump of duvet on the bed next to it groaned loudly, and a rough, strong arm protruded, trying to hit the snooze button.
Silence.
The duvet groaned again, and Gregory Sion sat up. His scruffy, black hair was even scruffier than usual, and his rough, chiseled features denoted a story of travel, drink, and pain. And that was just last night...
Suffering from a letha hangover, he rolled out of bed and threw on a pair of jeans and a black shirt. He stumbled into his kitchen and threw the last few rashers of bacon in his fridge into a frying pan. He groaned again, the smell of bacon lessenning the pain of Hangover. His palms itched, and he cursed under his breath.
He had felt, last night, a powerful presence. Something that told him things would change. It had worried him. It had worried him so much he had gone into the nearest bar and forced several pints down his throat. Hence his pain.
For his first day in Maygatropolis for a long time, yesterday had been bad. But now, he was slowly recovering. Taking a teatowel from the rack, he held his palms over it. a layer of ice crystallised on the towel, and he held it to his forehead. Relief.

Harriett and Morodin walked further into the city, getting knocked occasionally, but mostly going unharmed. Harriett was used to the hustle. She liked it. They eventually came to rest on a bench, in a small park area. Harriett sat, stroking Morodin. For a stray, he was suprizingly healthy. He was strong, and seemed to care for himself. But he was affectionate. She looked at him. She wondered....
back at the care home, they'd had a hamster. Once, not long before she'd run away, she'd actually had a conversation with it. That was when things had started to go weird. She'd had a psychic conversation with a hamster, and from then on things just got stranger and stranger.
She wondered if she could do the same with Morodin. She looked at him, and concentrated realy hard. She... almost heard a whisper, in the back of her head, but not loud enough. She tried really hard
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
"Yes girl... i can"
she nearly screamed. The cat was staring at her, with a look of wisdom in his eyes. She tried again, but she couldn't do it. It was gone.
"Oh. she sighed. "Sorry, Morodin."

Gregory had mostly recovered from his beast of a hangover, and was starting the routine of washing, cleaning and unpacking that came with a new flat. He had rented this place when he'd arrived in Maygatropolis the previous morning. The rent was cheap, and it was the best flat available without waiting. It was dark, depressing and dirty, but at least it was a shelter. He cast his hand over his glass of orange juice, and ice cubes appeared in his glass. He'd mastered his powers through years of practice. He gazed out the window into the bustling streets. A woman on the corner was thinking about her father n hospital. A man next to her was thinking about football. There wasn't much out of the ordinary, but then... A girl, young, with long black hair... he'd caught her thoughts without meaning to, and was distressed by what he'd heard... he knew those thoughts... he'd HAD those thoughts... the powers... but he'd lost her in the crowd... she was gone. Gregory sucked air in through his teeth. Ah well. Maybe he'd heard wrong. He ruffled his hair and returned to unpacking.

"Kai! Go deliver my order. I had no idea that Mrs. Bunsby would want so much milk this week! She's cleaned me out."
Kai quietly stared up at his caretaker. The woman had been nothing but kind to him, a little strict maybe but kind, since she had taken him in. He hopped off his little stool at the table where she made him study and took the list from her.
"Yes Ma'am."
Lucille frowned at the boy and stuffed a quarter loaf of bread in his hand. "I've been stuffing food on you everytime I see ya and you're still as small a mite as ever. You eat that bread yourself. No giving it to stray animals like I caught you that one time." She fussed over him for a second more then patted him on the shoulder. "Hurry back or your dinner will get cold."
I don't eat all the extra stuff cause I'm full. I've never had so much food in my life before. I wish you could understand... I wish I could tell you that. I do wish I could grow though. Even a little would be nice.
Instead of voicing his thoughts, Kai just nodded, said another "Yes Ma'am." and stepped out of the shop.

Emile felt a shadow cast over her and she opened her eyes and glanced up. She waited for the boy she was looking at to scream and run away from her, but he didn't. She tilted her head to the side looking at him. "I'm sorry. Am I in your way?" she asked softly.
