You come to a small town known as Alveiran. Alveiran is a small river town with a few shops and a large amount of farms. The town is close to the end of the world where all you can see is sky. With your weapon in hand you walk towards the town feeling confident that you'll find some sort of adventure or task awaiting you.

As you reach the town, you come to a small pub. You take this opportunity to find some gossip or stories on any bounties or such that would give you a chance to show that you are heroic. Unfortunately, you are just a beginner still and not many people take you seriously. With a small sigh, you begin to walk out of the pub feeling a great amount of defeat. As you push the door open someone stops you. The guy has a brown cloak over his head and has a grim look upon his face. You cannot see his eyes but you could have sword you saw a small glow where the eyes would be for a second. You back away from him a bit and he extends his hand.

"Tell me, what is your name?" The man inquires. You answer and he nods his head. "I trust you are looking for some work." The man seems very suspicious but nevertheless you nod your head. A smile is displayed on his face. "How excellent, you could be the one I'm looking for." The man says and then opens his cloak and takes out a small bag. "This is a small bag of gold, if you accept the job, you can expect ten more bags of gold, maybe even more if you do a good job." You have no money left to your name and you are full of unpaid debts. You have no choice. Despite his suspicious behavior, you nod your head and he drops the gold into your hand. This feeling of gold between your hands almost seems so foriegn to you now. It was a pleasent feeling to have that feeling again. You ask for his name but he doesn't give you one. "Names are cheap, if you are a true mercenary, you'll just do your job and be off." You nod and then ask what the job was.

"Oh, the job... of course you'll want to know what it is." The man takes out a small map of the surrounding areas. Since you are new to this part of the world, you have no idea what is around here. You sit down with the man and he shows you a path to your destination. Apparently, you are to cross the river from this town, go through a swamp known as Forgo's swamp, then walk through a small plain until you get to a town known as Razrerall. After a small rest, you will go into the Forest of Lost Children and then you will go to youe destination which is a large tower known as Maiden's Tower.

He hands you the map and then smiles. "I shall accompany you there, as well with your partners. I'm sorry but I most get there within the next few days, I also need to be protected from the horrible monsters that I might encounter. I am not a fighter so I must resort to hiring people like you." You ease up a bit to his explaination and you both get up and walk out of the bar. There, he gives you a key to an inn not to far from here where you will sleep for tonight. You yawn and see that it is getting late. you decide to head there right now.

As you get to the inn you open the door to find your other partners. You pause and begin to greet each other. There are 6 of you all together and then there is the mysteriously cloacked man. You are a bit cautious not knowing any of the other people and are unsure of what their intentions are. Nevertheless, you are partners now and you have to just accept it for the time being. It is late and you say to yourself that you'll get to know them tomorrow.

At 6 am, you wake up to a rude awakening. The mysteriously cloaked man is there telling you it is time to go. With your weapon at hand you begin to set out. He has a boat at the docks and says to everyone to meet him in an hour at the docks to cross the river.

EVERDRIFT
CHAPTER 1
RETURN TO DARKNESS


Alright, so this roleplay is actually only going to accept 5 other people total so you better apply quickly if you want a spot, if not then you are on a waiting list in case someone feels like leaving.

Lezalia, Holy Agrias, and I will be the staff for this RPG. We will be the evil characters and the event characters. This will help move things along more smoothly and people won't have to make new characters every single moment. I will also be one of the good characters that will be in the party. There is no leader, remember that. You are all equal unless the party feels someone needs to take the initiative and be leader. However, we will wait until that time becomes necessary.

QUESTION! Why such a small amount?

I don't want 50 million sasuke rip offs or the same personality over and over again. I want all the characters to have a unique personality that is creative and has a lot of thought put into it.

QUESTION! Are there any requirenments?

RULES


1. Obey Lezalia, Holy Agrias and me.- we are the people who made this.
2. Don't god mod or power play. - you are all equals, you just have different skills, don't think you are like the best out of the 6, remember you are a beginner
3. Your skill really is based on how well you write. However, you are a beginner so don't be too omnipotent. You can and will get hurt.
4. Be a good partner. You have 5 other people in your party. Don't ignore them when you are fighting. You'll have to back each other up and such. Mages can't fight alone they'll die because they need time to cast their spells. Archers need to be protected. Fighters need back up. As you get to know the people around you better, you will most likely will be able to bring up the partnership levels. Don't be afraid to show you need help too. You are not gods!
4. First come, first serve.... deal with it.
5. Please PM me, Lezalia or Holy Agrias with your profile
6. Don't fight, cyber, argue, in OCC or anywhere for that matter. You can roleplay fighting and not getting along with your partners but don't gang up on one person unless they are asking for it.
7. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE DETAILED!!!!
8. Follow the basic rules of conduct and roleplay.
9. You are not better than anyone else... I know I've said this, I want you to remember your place.
10. You don't have forsight. Remember, you are still new to this atmosphere. You the roleplayer probably already know what is going to happen but your character doesn't
11. No matter what you do, you can't know what other people are thinking unless they express it.
12. When other people are offline, don't go to far on with the RPG.
13. Don't join and leave.
14. If you aren't going to be here for a while then please tell me, if not, I will PM you and if you don't respond to that, I will kick you out of the RP and have you replaced.
15. There will be other Chapters after this. If you feel like you don't want the character to move onto the next chapter, then you will be killed in this chapter.
16. Have a fun time and enjoy yourself.
17. Oh and most importantly, I might not accept you if.... A) Your roleplaying skills are not what I want. Or I don't feel as though you can handle the roleplay. B) Your personality or parts of your bio are not that wonderful or creative ((I will be reading every single word.... EVERY SINGLE WORD))
18. Don't worry, I'll send you a PM if I find anything wrong with your profile and you can correct it.

6.

Gaia Name: Ratherion

Name: Ether Post
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Class: Mage
Weapon:

A quarter staff- The staff is made out of a finely cut wood that seems pretty durable; however, upon first inspection, the staff appears very flimsy and weak. The reason behind the durability is the magic enchantment that surrounds the wand. Like most beginning mages, the staff enhances their abilities a little. Upon the top of the staff is a small blue sapphire crystal to further enhance the person’s magic. The staff can hold it’s own when it comes to just hitting the enemy however when sharp weapons hit it, the staff will most likely break with the magic power that is kept within.

Book of Spells- The book is covered by a brown leather with a small strap lock. It is decently large and filled with many blank pages. A few pages on the front have writing in it. For a mage in training, it is up to the user to learn and figure out new spells. Once they figure out a new spell, the words will magically be inscribed into the book so that the user may view and learn the spell permanently. The book is stored in a small open brown back pack sack that can just be pulled out at any instance. This book also enhances spells slightly. If the user loses the book or the book is destroyed, the user either has to find the book, return to the mage guild or create a new one through magic.


Skills:

Fire- By distorting the elements in the air, the user can create a highly flamable air that can be burned by the snap of the hand or by pointing the staff towards the area where the mage distorted the air. Once the air takes a form of flame, the user can move the flame by controlling the wind to push it towards the enemy through the use of magic and/or the help of the staff.


1. Fire Ball- A few to many fireballs hurled at the enemy.
2. Light up- When one is in a dark place such as a tower or cavern, Light up can light up the path.

Wind- By the use of magic and/or staff, the user can slowly guide the air to move by the user’s will. The user can then use the wind to push the enemy back, help with the other spells that the user has, create a small tornado, pick up dust on the ground to provide cover and run away, and many other uses. Out of all elements that the mage uses, Wind is the most fundamental and is considered the building blocks to learning new spells.

Skills that are learned through wind….
1. Dust cloud- Creates a small amount of dust from the ground around user’s surroundings- this can help in escape; however, dust needs to be around.
2. Tornado- by creating a whirlwind, the user can create a small binding wind that can restrict enemy movements for a few seconds.

Water- By changing the elements in the air, the user can cause the elements in the air to moisturize. Then by using the power of the wind, one can hurl water at the enemy. However, water is one of the weakest elements and are used for status changing effects.

Skills that are learned through water….
1. Stun- By summoning water into the persons mouth quickly, the person has a chance of gagging and coughing for a few moments giving a person a chance to strike.

2. Drentch - Slows the enemy down by drenching the person’s clothing or armor with water.

Elements yet to be learned

Ice
Poison
Lightning
Earth
Darkness


Appearance:

Over all appearance- Ether has pale-ish tan skin, as if he hasn’t gotten much sun in his life. He is a short as he stands about 5 foot 6 inches. He is a bit skinny and lacks muscle definition in most of his body. His hair is brownish red and is cut short so the hair in the front goes to almost below his eyes and the hair in back is in a small fashioned ponytail. His hair seems very neatly kept. His hazel blue eyes are covered slightly bi his bifocal glasses.

Clothes- Ether wears a black cloak that has a hood attached. It drapes over most of his body. He wears a very baggy blue skirt that is tucked into black Arabian like pants. His brown leather boots are also tucked into his black pants. His clothes are made of a light silk that helps him move quickly however the cloak is enchanted with a small amount of magic to protect the user from attacks.

Personality: Ether is a bit of a nerd. He is fascinated by books and tends to always be caught in a library. He tends to not socialize much; however, when he does, he is very sarcastic. He is not very confident in most of his abilities but he is very knowledgeable when it comes to identifying unknown things. He doesn’t really know how to talk to girls when they try to play around with him and tends to blush a lot when that happens. He is not a fan of idiots and his personality tends to attack them at any stupid remark that they make. Ether is nice but in his own special way. He tends to be athletically challenged and gets very tired easily. He will want to rest occasionally.

History: Ether was born in the capital city of the Yahiro Empire, known as Zewua When he was young, he was a sick child who could barely get out of bed. He never was able to make too many friends in his condition. All he could do was read and sleep. By the time he reached the age of 10, his body seem to have gotten better with the help of magic. Incidentally, the reason why Ether was so sick was because of the magic genes inside him were unstable and caused diseases within his body.

Because of Ether’s special magic in his body, he was accepted into a magical institution and learned magic much quicker than other students and eventually became one of the top students in his class. However, instead of meeting new people, he studied and wrote theories. He never made any friends and never would up until the time he was kicked out of the school for proposing ridiculous theories on something known as the dark index.

When Ether left, he began to travel to different libraries learning different and unusual things about the world. Ether finally met a man who offered him a job and promised that his answers on the dark index will be explained. Seeing this opportunity, Ether accepted.

Interests: Books, knowledge, (food) crab, (food) fish, (food) apple, ruins, quiet places.
Dislikes: Fighting, idiots, working out
Strengths: Able to learn quickly and access the situation, Able to plan ahead, Able to identify unknown items, things, etcetera.
Weaknesses: Very uncooperative, tends to be very weak, tends to show emotions, cannot walk for long periods of time.
Fears: Fears heights
