Introduction
Once upon a time there was a magical world called Aires. It was a peaceful world, untouched by the modern human. It was in fact the perfect dream land for little girls who believed in unicorns and fairies. Even boys couldn’t help but gawk at the flock of phoenix zipping into the orange clouds.
There were many flaws there, many indeed. But the largest, was the slight chance of you being devoured by a horrific monster while you were visiting. These are called cyclopean. In native Airian legends it was said that the humans, magical creatures, and the cyclopean lived in peace. They all shared their own fraction of the world. But then a new island was formed. The humans began to settle in faster when it was discovered. But to their mistake, it was cyclopean territory.
The young human emperor Mehn and the cyclopean queen bargained about it. But to make a long story short, it all ended when Mehn angered the queen, and she shoved him down her throat. It was then that cyclopean got the taste for human flesh. She had more cyclopean children, each born having the urge to eat a human. The new generation over populated, and the “vegetarians” of the cyclopean were growing thin.
Soon enough it was Sir Monty who took the crown. His ruling was worse than his ancestors. He gave himself the name “Oblivious.” Why? I could never tell. But He planned attacks on the Airians, as an attempt to take a position on top of the world. War was at every corner, and the sky began to turn red with the essence of death. The magical creatures went into hiding became a rare sight.
In the chaos, a young well-known priestess by the name of Muna escaped near death. She hid herself in a tiny cavern. She then found 12 mysterious stones that took to her interest. She spent lots of time studying them then eventually to her, each represented a month.
Light emitted from the stones. She realized that she could do so much with these. They seemed to have souls…
The stones were people, six men, six women, each with a stone, and power. They spent years restoring Aires, under Muna (who had become the yearly Goddess), and the four seasons council. All was not well…
Plot:
The fate of Earth lies in the hands of a group of special children, whose bodies are inhabited by the month warriors. Each of the children has a birthstone. But no ordinary birthstone, a birthstone with the spirit of a month warrior imprisoned inside. Here is the story of the warriors. Long ago twelve people protected medieval Earth, and a world called Aires with their special powers. They had the duty of protecting the innocent from the Cyclopean race. After wiping out an army of the horrific flesh eaters in the final battle, they went to fight the King, Oblivious. They fought a fierce battle but it came down to a less than desirable finish. After taking numerous injuries from the Month Warriors, and finding he could not win, Oblivious retreated back into the underworld where he was from. Where he sunk into the dirt, stones were left. Having never seen stones like these before the warriors marveled at them. The stones began to glow then pulled one warrior into one stone accordingly. (That's how these stones were given a month.) As decades passed the surroundings changed, and the stones sunk into the dirt or were being drifted away by harsh winds and powerful typhoons. Finally, people have found the stones. Now there's a new generation of Month warriors. These children don’t know about their powers, but by an odd coincidence they are brought together to Central park in new york. The Cyclopean race is back, and has begun to spawn all around Aires, and the monstrosities are leaking into earth. There's some unfinished business to be settled. Will they succeed?
Cyclopean
What are Cyclopean's? What is their life style like?
Creatures of the Cyclopean race are solitary. Some lower ranks like pawns live in groups of three to five and hang around Earth more than the underworld. The higher the rank the larger and more powerful the Cyclopean. Their power hierarchy is built like a giant Chessboard. Hence, it is always about the King.
Pawns| These monsters are the size of dwarfs. They usually lurk around Earth and rarely go into the underworld.
Rooks| These Rooks are the size of an adult male, or female depending on the genders. They can take the form of humans and blend in with the crowds.
Knights| Knights can get to be as large as corner stores. They have large bull horns and are the fastest rank of Cyclopean's.
Bishops| Stay in the underworld. No humans other than the month warriors have been there and no one has ever really seen them before. They may only come out to fight if sent by the queens.
Queens| The queens are the defenders. In times they are stronger than the king. They live in the underworld and their jobs are to protect the king and carry out his orders.
Kings| They are slow, but powerful. Kings are rarely seen and not so easy to defeat. They are the prize that everyone has to protect or the whole race will be troubled.
Birthstones
These stones are woven on necklaces and bracelets and maybe even rings to activate their powers. They start to glow when their powers are activating. Without these stones, these people will be powerless.

OOC Notes
The village bell rings from the large tower safely inside of the walls of her town. Tally sighs and gazes up at the sky. The clouds are moving apart.
“Must I go now?” She whines. Sixteen year old Tally doesn’t like going back to Jennah’s, an orphanage where peasant children. Every day she fears being thrown out as she ages. For unlike earth, you are an adult-- when there is no more room for kids. But Tally possessed this annoyingly strong child-like behavior that would someday become her potential down fall. She could not survive on her own. In ways, she lacked this maturity, and logic of the world around her. This causes her to reject her curfew. “I can make it back later…” Tally gets up and wanders into the opposite direction. The plush grass before her is endless. She enjoys the serenity, the kiss of the wind, and the quiet. Then she admired the wind rushing into her face, the darkness surrounding her and the tension compacting her. Her own shriek of terror. For Tally had fallen down the tunnel.
She fell farther and farther, her locks of hair whipped into her face violently. Then, there was a crash and a snap. Tallyho found she was caught in the branches of a tree, but only barely for her closeness to the tree was limited. She watched as a branch hit the ground and hoped she would not be the same crumpled and snapped piece of matter below her.
OOC Notes
He leaves the training room after an hour and goes outside for a walk. It is a beautiful sunny day without a cloud in the sky. Since it was the middle of spring, the trees were just beginning to blossom. Fiarzyk walks over and picks one, hoping one day he can find the girl who is as beautiful as this blossom, and who will love him for his imperfections.

Snap.
“Oopfh!” She yelped then dropped down onto the grass from the tree. The grass was not nearly as lush and soft as it was on Aires, but it was a lot better than falling on—whatever that hard gray stuff was next to her. She looked around, “Um…”
OOC Notes
"Ow!" Fiarzyk yelled after he reached the bottom. He looked around and saw the same darkness. He thought he was still in the cave but a little lower. He walked to where he thought he saw a small light. He was nervous, hoping he could find his way back home. After walking into the light, Fiarzyk knew there was something wrong. He knew it was not his home, possibly not even his world. Everyone was walking around talking, and yet most had no one with them. They held there hand up to their face, with some strange object in it.
He walked up to one of them and asked, "How is it that you talk with no one around?"
"What are you stupid?!" replied the man, as he walked away. Fiarzyk was confused, but just kept wandering.
OOC Notes
No all her knew how to do was panic.
Her eyes began to glisten with tears. She bit her soft pink lip and looked around at the passing people. This just was not good. The park was near night time and there was no telling what was going on in Aires.
OOC Notes
Also near him was a woman. She was certainly beautiful with flowing blonde hair but she was also crying. He decided to go to her. As he kneeled by her he noticed something else, her clothes were not like the ones he has seen in this area he was in now, but they also didn't look like the clothes the ones he saw women in his home land wear. Although to be fair, he didn't venture far from his mansion. And the few women he saw were dresses in very expensive furs rather than normal cloth.
"What's wrong?" he asked the young woman.
OOC Notes
She covered her face and began to cry, “I really want to go home! I should not have been such a bad Tally!” She said.
She stopped crying, “D-Do you know how to get me back to Aires?” She asked him.
OOC Notes
"You are from Aires too? That is my home!" This confused him. Why would someone else from Aires be in this land? And she fell from the sky? Just magically? That seemed very odd to him.
"I don't know how to get back, I was hunting some strange creature and fell through a tunnel in a cave. You say you fell from the sky however? That seems odd. Where were you in Aires? And on another point, who are you even? I have never met you before, for all I know you could be...I don't even want to think about what you could be." Thankfully she stopped crying, he was never good at dealing with others emotions. After all, he never learned to deal that well with his own...
OOC Notes
“We have to find a way to get home, and fast…” She mumbled to herself. “I will be in trouble if I am not back by sundown. And they are threatening to kick me out anyway… I am guessing Aires is above this place but that makes little to no sense.” She said.
OOC Notes
"What kind of monster is this? I attack and damage it, yet it makes no sound? That is impossible. Especially looking at the other ones moving around!" He sat down next to Tally and began to think more about her words. "Wait a second, you said something about being kicked out, who is kicking you out?" Fiarzyk was lost in this world, but Tally was from his. This made him think, could there be more out there then he ever knew at home. He always knew there was more land than in his home, but he never thought there would be entirely new worlds out there.
OOC Notes
“Wow! What a cutie!” She said as she reached to pick it up.
It bit her.
She sat there registering what had just happened in her brain, “I… Got bit.” She said quietly.
OOC Notes
"One thing I've learned in life, the cutest things can be the deadliest. Never underestimate something small, they surprise you in the end. Are you okay though? Should I find some water?" He was trying to get away from her thinking about what she said, but in his own mind he was processing it greatly.
She was from an orphanage? That must be very sad for her, he wondered if Tally even knew who her parents were. But he didn't want tears to flow from that. Healing a small cut or bite he could handle, crying was much more difficult.
"So, where should we go from here? Should we find some place to stay tonight or just stay here?"
OOC Notes
It was hard to notice but… The tree they sat under creaked uncomfortably…

How did I get here? she asked herself in her head. She wandered into the park, and found her way into a tree. She looked around curiously; maybe she'd be able to find her way back if she could see far enough! She climbed back down, and wandered through, looking for a taller tree. She saw a couple of people, one looking like they had been crying, and the other talking to her. She debated for a second walking up to them. Instead, she stopped under a tree nearby, wanting to climb it, but not wanting to look too childish, she leaned against it; then she heard one of them mentioning starting a fire with one of the trees. She panicked a little, and stepped forward. "You can't start a fire here; you'll get in trouble!" she cried, then, suddenly aware again that she was tlaking to strangers, she started stuttering.
"...Umm...you'll get into trouble...'cuz you're not...not allowed to...umm...star fires out here...'cuz you'll get into trouble...and it's illegal...and the whole...whole park will burn...and that'd be...it'd be bad..." She paused, staring at them for a few seconds. "...Sorry...I interrupted...just...you'll get...get into trouble...like that..."
OOC Notes
She sighed, "Well I was supposed to be back by sundown but--"
The tree instantly collapsed, nearly crushing them both. Tallyho barely got the two out of the way, by kicking him, and rolling backwards.
"The tree! It..."
She looked around, the park was near empty.
"Something... Is not right. I feel. A disturbance."

"What's going on?" She asks, peering around the place.
she sees a tree,it looks weird. "And what's up with the tree?" She walks closer to the people and twirls her hair, which falls away to reveal a gleaming diamond attached to a silver chain around her neck.
"Oh, I am V - Voltaeria." She says in a shy undertone. she feels like she's breaking into a conversation, though ...
OOC Notes
The new girl introduced herself as Voltaeria. "I am Fiarzyk," he told her. "I chopped the tree up it...fell it seems. Not to be rude however, but why are you here?"

Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
If they win, the cyclopeans will disperse or die without a leader and the guardians will most likely also die, because they live forever only to guide their champions. Once those champions defeat their enemies for good, the guardians' job is done. We're going to miss them, but there will be victory.
If the warriors lose this final showdown... Actually I don't want to think about that.
Because I don't want to think about losing, I will discuss something else. Perhaps controlling scenes but not characters. One must be careful in that endeavor, but I believe this has already been done successfully in this rp. At Karma's Combat Academy, Karma controlled the scenes when our warrior characters battled her, and once they tumbled into Nemises Shrine Tally controlled that scene. Cana generally controls all her scenes with Jackson, but I play both those characters, so that's not a good example. I also think that Jackson pretty successfully controlled the scene when scouting out the party. He led Tally and Rei to the house and got all three of them together setting up without controlling Tally and Rei.
The basic idea seems to be forcing a favorable decision while retaining free will. With Jackson, Tally, and Rei, Tally and Rei had the choice to either follow him or not. Not following him would sort of defeat the purpose of going with him in the first place, and would also mean it would be more difficult to accomplish the mission, so the favorable decision was to follow, but they still could have chose not to. I'm getting quite verbose lately, and I don't know how to summarize this so bear with me.

Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
If we're stuck, I wonder if we could timeskip to the conversation with Noah, since that was the goal. Actually a few minutes prior to that conversation might be better since I want to introduce a new character in time for said character to return to Aires with them. I already have permission to use them.
Re: [OOC] A Special Topic for Re-Caps on the Story.
After all the kids arrived in Central Park again, Haru told them their target was located in a rich man's house, and the way to get there would be through an open party said rich man was holding the next day. Well they didn't know the party was going to be the next day until later. In the meantime, they neeeded to get party clothes and a place to spend the night. That night was the first time they were separated since this adventure started, because no one house could keep all the kids and three guardians for the night.
Cana and Soren of the Guardians went to Kiara's apartment, because it was too big for just her and her Grandmother. Jackson stayed there also, after a lot of debating and uncertainties. Raine went back to where she was staying with her younger sister alone. Since she was responsible for her sister and friend, she had not much choice. The building also didn't have enough space for more people and it would probably be rude to invite guests when she was a guest herself. That's what Cana would say if she knew all the details too. Tallyho and Rei started out at Kiara's, but after an incident they both went to spend the night with Haru.
Everyone knew where Haru's loft was, because they were supposed to meet back there again the next morning, but plans changed and new ones were made. Instead they met at the shopping center where Haru outlined his plans for completing the mission, and most went right to shopping. Tally and Rei bought their party clothes earlier than Cana, Raine, Jackson, and Kiara. Karma showed up at Kiara's door in between Tally and Rei's shopping and everyone else's, because she was part of the plan Haru outlined at the shopping center. Of course none of the kids were happy to see her, except maybe Rei. But no one can ever tell what makes Rei happy or not.
Jackson had another discussion with Haru, but this time he sort of initiated it. When they went to Haru's loft the first time, he got overwhelmed and ran off so Cana had a chat with him and he decided that he needed to apologize to Haru about his behavior since they got to Aires. The two had their discussion, and then a cyclopean attacked Tally, and threatened all of them. Jackson witnessed the entire encounter and tried to fight said cyclopean, even though he had no idea what he was doing. Luckily Haru stabbed the cyclopean's hand with a throwable blade, and he left.
Because of this encounter though, the cat-guardian told everyone to be ready for the party in an hour. Some of the kids including Jackson had concerns about the ultimatem, but instead of arguing, he suggested changes on that plan which Haru agreed on. Since they were his suggestions, Jackson was the first to move on them.
Now everyone is at the party and the first steps in these plans have been taken.
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Okay, so I didn't rewrite the whole post, but added something for Jackson and reworded some things for Cana.
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Blech! Double posting. Since this post is here anyway, I'll just add that only someone who knows Mr. Charles should use the courtyard entrance. If your character has never met him personally and has come to a level where he considers you a friend, please use the intimidating front entrance. All characters may use the courtyard as an exit though.
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Since Lauren wants to get on with the plot, I'll simply assume Tally and Rei followed Jackson to the courtyard and inside the house, and post stuff for the setup procedure. Then Raine and Kiara can follow. I don't know what Lauren wants to do with Karma right now. She could go with Raine and Kiara or someone else.
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
I'm glad I'm not the only one who puts music with characters, either.
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Nah I'm just kidding. I just need to try harder. But yeah. I try. I have conducted this roleplay many times with different groups of people. And this is one of the few groups I have had that really, truely gets into the plot, to the point of character ideas ot work or school. To tell the truth music stimulates my ideas for this roleplay, and the views of its characters. And sometimes I take the music I have and associate it with one of the Birthstone characters.
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Does anyone else want to guess the inspiration for Jackson's attire? Personally I think it was a rather genius idea and have been considering it since the announcement of the ball. Again the hint is that the character isn't only in a movie, but also in a rather famous play.

Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Crystal, I wasn't saying anything bad about your guardian character. I just was identifying a trait the character might have when created. I've never had a character idea at a convenient time either. Most of the time, my ideas come when I'm trying to sleep. I think my original idea for Cana come while I was at work.
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
...I do think everyone's ready to go. Everyone's dressed...all we need is a reason to go early...or something to do while we wait. :P
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
Re: [OOC] Birthstone Spirits: The Shining Crystals
I thought Kiara and Soren were outside though, and I didn't think the procession got there yet. I do believe that Haru, Rei and Tallyho just left the room, but they were going very fast and Jackson got winded trying to catch up.
