Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the capital city of Sarana, there is general poverty. The rich become richer and the middle and lower classes are reduced to poverty. The reason, Emperor Ramgani. He has reigned over the land for just over twenty years, imprisoning many innocent citizens, children as well as adults. As well as this he has forbidden the use of magic in any form and those found possessing any unusual abilities are murdered by his secret police in the dead of night. The prisons as filled with innocent people that are suspected of treason against the crown. These people as usually taken as a precaution if members of their family show signs of rebellion.

Many of the outer towns have been destroyed by the corrupt police forces, causing the larger towns to become overcrowded. There is general unrest towards Ramgani, and many smaller underground groups have formed, raiding the ruling classes. There is one main group, The Hardians who are stationed at the capital city, Gourd. They have stockpiled many magical items such as weapons, amulets, rings etc and are currently searching for powerful rings that are rumoured to have the power of the elements (fire, earth, wind, water, light and darkness). There are also rumours that there are dragons sealed in underground caverns across Jaral. Many of the magical items can be found as artefacts in the ruling classes homes, situated close to the centre of Gourd. Ramgani lives in a huge castle a couple of hundred kilometres north of Gourd in the mountains.

What makes Ramgani so powerful is that he is a summoner himself and calls demons from the other realms, using them as his army and police. He outlawed magic as it was the main weakness the possess. Only those really strong and trained can cause wounds against demons with physical attacks. Demon's all have the ability to cloak themselves as humans which is why his forces as so affective in capturing people with magical abilities.


Magic is the uncontrolled force in the world. By using worlds, actions and incantations we give will to these forces which unnatural results. Summoning us under the same principle, calling on creatures from other realms, usually the spirit or demon realm with incantations that bind it with magical chains to cause the creature to stay in this world and under the complete control of the summoner. (If you want more information about this stuff just ask)

weapon(s): Magical staff that can send demons back to the other realms by breaking the invisible chains that bind the demon to Ramgani.
history: Vallan was apprentice to one of the three masters of magic fifteen years ago. There were two other apprentices, one that died many years ago and Ramgani. While Vallan concentrated on learning how the world worked and the principles of magic Ramgani centred his studies on the other realms of creatures. When Ramgani was twenty he stole one of the three staffs created by the masters of magic, a staff that could call on demons from the demonic realm. He summoned demons and killed the masters of magic, hoping to get the other two staffs. Vallan found the staff of dismissal by mistake and the staff that could awake magical powers in people was lost through out the ages. As Ramgani took power over the land with his demons Vallan hid, using his powers to hide from the demons.

skills: Has a few natural abilities (most useless in combat): the ability to see in low level light, very sharp teeth (for biting through fish bones), can hold her breath for an extremely long time, and can squeeze into very tight places. She also has an indepth knowledge of the underground world, completely able to navigate the underground caverns.

Furious at her people's plight, Rayel has been a member of several resistant groups, currently in the Hardians.

Gaian name: Taergeht Red na Xela
Name: Marienne "Mary" Orthos
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: Mary is 5'6" and slender. She has waist-length, straight blonde hair, and very light green eyes, a mark of a magic user. She tends to wear a green tunic and dark brown leggings, with strong, but soundless boots, excellent for woodland travel.
Personality: Mary is a rather quiet soul, having lived in the woods with only her father since she was very young. She holds a great respect for all living things, and is very protective over those she loves. Generally even tempered, unless those she loves are threatened.
Skills: Mary can communicate with the trees and with birds [whistling, not via telepathy], and is extremely talented with her longbow. She is also a skilled tracker.
Weapon(s): A composite longbow
History: When Mary was born, her parents knew that she would have to be hidden, out of fear that her eyes would be noticed and she would be condemned. They hid in the large forests and lived a rather hermit-like, but content, life. During the winter of her fifth year, her mother died, and they buried her underneath a large elm tree near their little hut. Ten years later, her father, too, passed away. Since then, Mary has been leading a solitary life amongst the trees.
However, not long ago, things began to enter the forest, killing the birds and animals. The trees began to sicken, and some died. Mary, intent on finding out what is causing their sickness, left her beloved home with everything she owned. Her longbow, a cloak, some provisions, and a ring her father had given her. She made her way to the capital, her face hidden by the shadows of a cloak, to see what could be found out.
Extra Info: Mary possesses one of the elemental rings, that of earth. However, she doesn't know of its special properties, and wears it on a silver chain around her neck. A family heirloom is all she believes it to be, but she takes good care of it, as her father, bless his soul, told her that it had been in her family for many generations.

Gaian name: Angelic_Illusionz
Name: Lucas (Luke) Barathame Endrult
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Luke is so slender he looks frail, but he’s quite beautiful. His features are almost feminine they’re so delicate, his dark brown hair only a couple inches long and his green eyes bright. He’s 5’9” and usually wears noble attire.
Personality: He’s quite the charmer, and a ladies man. He’s never seen without an escort, and usually there is more than one. He’s got a good soul and doesn’t object to doing the right thing, but he is very selfish, so much that he may feign from doing good if it means protecting himself from some sort of loss.
skills: Luke grew up under some magical guidance from his mother. He learned to brew potions of all sorts. He's also quite talented in casted Enchantment and Illusion spells.
weapon(s): He has a rapier at his side. The blade is made from ice, magically imbued to never melt and be as hard as steel. It’s cold enough to freeze liquids.
history: Luke came from a wealthy family from one of the smaller towns that once thrived, Sandrin. When he was 17, his parent’s estate was taken away and his family was thrown in the poor house. His parents and sisters went to stay with family to the far corners of the country, but he refused to leave the area, determined that he wouldn’t live the droll life style and that he would regain the wealth and prestige that was his birthright for being an Endrult.
extra info: Luke is part of the rebellions but he has a main goal in mind. He seeks out the Ring of Manipulation. It’s said to give them wearer the power to charm anyone who makes eye contact with him, and he finds this much more valuable than any weapon of mass destruction. blaugh

((accepted, except try not to make your character too powerful Angelic. Might as well start, but still want others to join as well. Leafy I'll make it that your character has just arrived in town and demons are attacking you, I'm sure you wont mind blaugh ))

Vallen glanced up from his pilfering as he sensed the appearance of demons. Pocketing a small throwing blade that always returned he turned to Peter. "Get the others, the demons are attacking a girl just outside. She had a considerable magical aura around her, that must have been what attracted the demons." Vallan left without another word, sensing his way down the stairs and out of the Buran's home. He suddenly brandished his staff, the small red gem embedded in it glowing. There were about ten demons, each closing in one the girl, a longbow slung over her back. He could see the demons true self, there were four that were weaklings, two that were of average strength and four that were of a higher level. "Ramgani has gotten lazy in his summonings," Vallan remarked, loud enough for the closest demon, a weak level one who could hardly move in its human body. The demon turned, slowing walking to Vallan.

One of the average demons grinned, "And what business do you have with Ramgani you blind fool." Vallan's face suddenly changed, anger evident in his gaze. He swung the staff in an wide arc, cutting the hidden chains of command around the low level demon. The demon was suddenly sucked into the portal that appeared at its feet, returning it to the Demonic realm.

Peter was currently at the balcony of the house, looking down at the demons. He had already alerted Lucas and Rayel, who were heading out of the house now. A large bird appeared by his side, called Tyre. Tyre was a spirit animal, large enough to have two or three people on its back and could hold about 200 kg in its claws. Smiling at Tyre he jumped of the balcony, feelings her talons grab him around the shoulders. Tyre swooped down, flying low enough for Peter to accurately throw a magic orb at the closest demon. It exploded on impact, destroying another weak levelled demon. Landing lightly on his feet he pulled free the whip wrapped around his left shoulder. Tyre suddenly disappeared, returning to the spirit realm. Peter grinned at the demons, some of the weaker ones edging away from him.

((OK, low level demons are easy to destroy, the average ones should put a a good fight and most of you shouldn't be able to destroy the strong ones unless using powerful magic but physical attacks can weaken them. I want you to leave 3 high level demons but you can kill the rest. Remember that they should have the upper hand, they each can create orbs that explode on impact.))

Mary had entered the city, her hood still shadowing her face. She hadn't expected to be attacked as soon as she entered the city. They seemed to be human, but she could feel a dark aura emanating from them. What were they?

An older man appeared, taunting her attackers, and destroyed one of them... she wasn't sure how. Two men, around her age, destroyed another each, leaving seven of them left. She reached for her bow and fired an arrow the next moment, the strength of her draw and the excellent make of the arrow allowing her to destroy a medium level demon, although she didn't realise its strength then. What did amaze her, was that they disintegrated as they died, completely disappearing from sight.

Using a bow in close combat wasn't ideal, but it was the only weapon she had. Another one shuffled towards her slowly, and Mary wondered why he was even bothering to attack. She reached for another arrow and stabbed him through the eye. He too shattered, and disappeared.

"What are these?" she asked the young man holding the rapier, her eyes wide. "Humans don't just disintegrate when they die, do they?"

[[Oh, my weak demon was the last weak one... Oh well. All five weak demons are dead, 1/2 medium strength demons are dead, and none of the four strong demons are dead.]]

Mary was distracted as another girl entered the scene and impaled a demon between her two swords. She stood, amazed, and forgot about the fact that she was in danger until a bird whistled at her in alarm. She turned around, moving out of the way at the same time, but wasn't fast enough, and sustained a large, but shallow cut to her shoulder.

She winced. It wasn't fatal, but it still hurt. It was her drawing arm, and it was rapidly losing strength. She knew she wouldn't be able to draw her bow now, so she held the arrow she'd used to stab the demon earlier, and attempted a stab at this one. However, it was faster, and dodged it easily.

Mary grimaced. This wasn't going to be as easy as she thought.

[[Edit: No wait, if you look carefully he actually took out a weak one.]]

Gaian name: TallTwin

Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Phillip is incredibly tall (7'6") and buff. He has green eyes. His size and mass make him practically useless on spying missions.

Weapon(s): A simple, non-magic halberd, which he uses solely to inflict physical damage. He prefers to use the natural weapons of the beings he changes into.
History: Phillip grew up with his parents Professors Blake and Hazel Loftus, like them studying the origins, nature, purposes, effects and uses of magic. He was unfortunate to only learn a limited amount, as recently when his parents were taken away by Ramgani's minions.

Like many, Phillip fights against the injustice that Ramgani has left behind.
