Once Upon A Time, There was a tale of warriors who had fought bravely for the right to claim the throne of several different Gods Of War. They were not immortal nor less than a mortal, So they were Considered Asura, which, In Asian religion, was a Lower God/Deity. The Successors of these beings were at first known as 'Riders.'

There were Four in All, And They were known as the Tenumako (Celestial Horsemen). This was a title coveted by many, that so few could have.

However, 300 years earlier, one of the horsemen rebelled, and granted life to one too many horsemen. So the remaining 3 used all their might, and defeated this army of gods. After reclaiming the fourth horseman from his corruption, they vowed to keep the contest of deciding a successor a secret, even if it meant they had to try and live longer than they were supposed to.

In that time, 3 corrupted horsemen escaped, and died shortly after. They scattered the secrets to the private summoning of not only themselves, but the four original horsemen to secrecy. Each summoning was different, and contained different things the successor had to wear or use.

Today, the legend has gone dry, and few seek the power of the Heavenly Riders. There are few though, that seek this prize of power. Fighters determined to show the world, and the gods, what they're capable of.

So Each went their separate ways, mixing training with travel, as well as endless archaeology.

Eventually, they'd found their secrets, and returned to redeem their prize, as the 'Riders Of the New Century' Or simply, 'The New Riders.'

Only the Gods Of War Did Not Appear: Instead, appearing at the miniature altars that were written in prophecy to summon the Tenumako, had instead summoned a 'Goddess,' of sorts. These girls were half Asura, still on the road to becoming so. But like any teenage girl, They desired jewelry, entertainment, men, and the like. They claimed their family was of mighty Asura, but they did not know whether or not their fathers were the Tenumako.

Now the Boys, and the Girls must live together, through thick and thin, the boys forced to make sure the girls do not cause trouble, acting almost as servants and guardians. But could these girls hold the power the boys desire?...

The Fighters: Young men who have summoned the daughters of various Asura.
1) Ryo Sanshiro (JayZeroSnake)
2) Senzaryu Takayama (Senzaryu)
3) Glacearius (Howl_Asura)
4) -Reserved For Zane Saphire-

The Daughters Of Asura: Each is gifted by Mother Gaia, an actual goddess with more power than the Gods Of War themselves with power. She is also the source of Ki and Chi in the Universe, used by the boys as energy to fight.

1) Celestia (Played By Bluediamond)

Indirectly stated by the legend to be the strongest of the 'Goddesses.' Celestia's powers are mixed and evened out, which leads her element of choice to be Energy and Life Force. Like any of the other Goddesses, she acts like she's to be treated as some sort of princess, and often taunts her 'Personal Rider' (Boy 1) by teasing him sexually and romantically. Deep down, she cares for all living things, and wishes to lead a life with another, presumably with the first boy who wished to become one of the Tenumako.

Her default clothing in 'Goddess' Form resembles greek godesses. Since she has the power of Ki, she can utilize a super form when she charges her Ki enough. (All other outfits decided by player)

Celestia can grant Ki and other neutral, but divine force to her Rider, as well as enhancing strength speed, and the like equally. these abilities are open to her own personal use as well.

2) Eternia (Played by 93SHADOWWOLF)

thought to be the second strongest Goddess. Though similar to Celestia, she has a deep rivalry with her, trying to outdo her at whatever she can, and always putting forth her 'Rider' (Boy 2) to challenge the other riders. Secretly, she and Celestia used to be friends until they both had argued over who was better, and which girl would have the better Rider. She is thought to have ability over time, though it seems more likely she has no abilities over it unless she is threatened.

Her default clothing resembles an ancient mayan outfit. (All other outfits decided by player). When Eternia Powers up all the way, She goes totally red.

Eternia and her Rider share the ability to stop time for a Max of 5 seconds as their ultimate move. Eternia also enhances her Rider's Endurance, making them work longer and harder than normal, as well as the ability to slow down, and speed up time.

3) Neptunia (Galatea/Terra) (Played by Skittle_Overlord)

http://images2.fanpop.com/image/polls/3 ... 6_full.jpg

seen often as the daughter of Neptune, as she was originally to be named Neptunia. Obviously has power over Water and ice, but unknown to many, her alternate name(s), Galatea/Terra, shows a secret ability to control air and earth. currently she can use fire to a small degree. She has the closest ties to Mother Gaia, and is even considered to be her Niece, granting her a minor tune with the Universe's Life force.

She appears as a mermaid in default goddess clothing/form (All other outfits decided by player). She can power up similarly to Celestia, but only her eyes go white, and she gains a fiery white aura.

She and her Rider can utilize the elements in many uses.

4) Lilienne (Played By CryBloodredtears)

http://api.ning.com/files/wLpfuQADv9CeP ... girl80.jpg

The only girl with a name that doesn't end with an a. She is often the symbol of the rider who had been corrupted, and her abilities to use Darkness and Light, and to some degree, Chi and Ki. She's often the darkly dressed of the four, and is very much mysterious.

Her default is just about anything dark, usually greek or roman, like Celestia. (All other outfits decided by player). Her Super Form is similar to Eternia's, as she engulfs half her body in light, the other in darkness.

As mentioned she and her rider use Darkness and Light in various uses. She can also summon creatures, animals, and spirits to her side.
