RPG
Introduction
Opening your eyes, you see that the world is but a dark and cruel place. All that was fought for has been lost. People are no longer people, but slaves to a ruthless elite class known as the la’Ronk. These elites control city, which means, they control the world. The world cripples between their heartless measures and laws. A revolution is needed, but no heroes have risen to the cause.
Oppressed and fearful, the people of Vistilial have come to terms with the darkness that has been cast upon them. There gods have failed them yet again. Time after time, the people of Vistilial have given up. Their faith and belief in the gods has vanished as has all hope and salvation.
However, during these tragic times, it is said that a team of heroes will rise from the ashes of the crumbled city and bring forth an era of eternal peace. These heroes, or guardians of the peace, come from all over the planet. Each possessing a skill and a trait that sets them apart from the others, these heroes will be back to stop any nonsense for if a coup d'état were to come about among the heroes, the traitor would have to be thwart. There is no acceptance for betrayal as betrayal is the worst of all the sins.
So who are these so-called heroes? There are ordinary citizens that encountered something that would forever brand them a hero. Each stumbled upon a legendary item that only they were destined to find. The item called them and they eventually came. Upon bonding with said item, the heroes knew they were destined for something greater. But they had no idea what greatness was bestowed upon them nor did they known the danger that filled their future.
This is the tale of those seven heroes who stood up and fought when no one else would. They, should they win, would become the leaders of the new world. Oppression would vanish. Hatred and war would be terms people feared. In this new era of hope, peace, and light, the seven guardians would help foster a time of wealth, love, and happiness, a golden era where people were free to do as they wished. Slavery would vanish and be banned across the nation.
Now, where do you stand? Are you the hero of the darkened world? Or are you just another helpless citizen who can’t find the courage within?
Explaining the Elementalists
Dark: The hero with this power has the ability to manipulate shadows and darkness. The hero can also store weapons and/or items in an alternate dimension called the Shadow Realm. Only the Dark Elementalist can enter this world, so it should be used as a last resort hiding place. The shadows also allow its wielder to read the truth about someone. The shadows can preform "cat-scans" or read someone. Nonetheless, the hero is weakest when the sun is up, but grows stronger when the sun starts to set. At the noon hour, he is useless and unable to fight as there is no darkness for him to command. Even on cloudy days, Nick will be unable to use his dark powers.
Light: The light hero is the opposite of the Dark Elementalist. She is strongest during the noon hour and hours of daylight. Upon nightfall, her powers weaken, and at midnight she becomes useless. Rather than controlling shadows, the light hero can harness the power of the sun and use it to blind people. She can also create clear force-fields and send pulses of light at enemies. She's more or less like fire, only rather than the attacking being hot, it's blinding. She can also collect light by adding it to her necklace. This light can be called upon later to help light the way in darkness.
Lightning: The elementalist of lightning is able to create sparks, which can create a fire. Lightning and Fire are probably the most similar, but don't let their similarities trick you into thinking they are the same. In fact, lightning attacks are twice as strong as fire attacks. Moreover, lightning is unaffected by water. However, lightning does have its downfalls. Its strength comes from storms, so without storm clouds floating in the air, lightning is only half its strength.
Fire: Fire is said to be the least controllable, however the Fire Elementalist doesn't seem to think so. Able to create balls of fire as well as walls of fire, this hero is quite impressive. With water as its weakness, fire has to learn to overcome its weakness by being able to control hot steam. When steam has been mastered, then the fire hero is given a powerful ability. Fire also has the ability to keep people warm and to help brighten dark paths. This hero has excellent night vision as well.
Earth: This hero is blessed with the powers of life and creation. Unlike the other elementalists, this hero has the powers to create the destroyed. Flowers and planet life can bloom once again under her command. She doesn't really need weapons as she can wield trees, branches, grass, people-eating-plants, and other fun greenery to her will. Mud walls for protection and then creating massive landslides would fall on this hero's turf. In other words, this hero is pretty much free to do as she wishes with the plants of the planet. The only real weakness is darkness and ice, but even then she can find plants that adore that terrain. However, when compared to the others, her offense isn't all that great. But don't let that fool you.
Water: As the name implies, this hero has the ability to move and command water. Water shields and the ability to create a breathing bubble when swimming are just some more specialties this hero has. However, creating water walls or shields kills all endurance as water is a heavy liquid. This hero is also the only one able to heal people using purified water. The Water Elementalist can also do something a little... darker. As everyone knows, the human body is made up of water. So, if the controller wishes, the hero can control blood. Controlling blood allows the hero to manipulate a body whoever desired. However, doing this puts serious strain on the body.
Ice: This hero has magical powers that allow the user to freeze time. Although this freezing of time isn't necessarily, long, it's long enough that the hero can make a move. Moreover, when freezing time, the elementalist can also slow time. In other words, one second could end up acting like one hour. But the wielder of this ability will easily tire from using this power. Nonetheless, he also has the ability to create weapons from ice as well as shields. Ice shields are said to be the strongest of all the shields, so it only makes sense that he have great defense. The Ice Elementalist does best on cool days and will grow tired during hot temperatures. Moreover, the ice will melt at certain temperatures, and, when it does, he can no longer control it. Ice can only control ice.
Wind [the Forgotten Hero]: This forgotten hero has the ability to phase-walk. Phase-walking allows its user to turn invisible for about seven seconds. However, using this leaves the hero drained and with lower defenses. Perhaps it's because of having these invisible like powers that this eighth hero is forgotten and left behind. Either way, this hero can summon a pair of wings and is the only hero that is able to fly. It is said that this hero is unaware of their powers and is said to be on the Dark Side. Only the Truth Orbs will reveal their true identity.
Explaining Balance and Void
It is said that two people of conflicting interests that can steer the heroes toward their desirable goal. These two people are said to be the leaders of the forces called the Hero Side and the Dark Side. The Hero Side follows the guidance of Balance, an elementalist who has all the powers on his/her side. The Dark Side follows the reign of Void, an elementalist who negates all powers.
The leaders have long since died, but their spirit and fighting will has been passed down to a person in which each believed would help fulfill their wishes. Who they are and what they intend to due lies with the eyes of the gods. One can only pray that peace be found before hell is unleashed.
Balance: This elementalist guides the Hero Side. This leader follows a righteous path and seeks out balance in life. The powers behind Balance include the ability to make magical powers become stronger. Balance also has the ability to restore powers or give people elemental abilities. To do this, a light ritual must be preformed. However, when compared to Void, Balance is without strength. Balance relies of the strength of the heroes whereas Void relies on his own strength.
Void: This elementalist leads the Dark Side. Said to be male, this leader has the power to negate all elemental effects. In other words, magic doesn't work. Void is said to be an expert swordsman who, even with magic in play, can defeat elementalists. In addiction to negating magic attacks, Void can erase elemental abilities from a person by a dark ritual. Once a person loses their magical powers, they can never regain them. Void is the embodiment of evil. Avoid at all costs.
The Lingo
Truth Orbs - There are thirty-two of these palm-sized orbs located throughout the planet. Each nation has its own distinct looking orbs. Their are seven set colors (ROYGBIV) for the seven nations that fall under the la'Ronk rule. The orbs from Kittmund are a mixture of all the colors or are the absence of color (gray, black, white, etc.). When all thirty-two orbs have been collected, they need to be dumped into the Pot of Relevance. Only when dumped in there, they orbs will reveal the hidden truths of the world.
Capturing a Truth Orb is easier said than done. Each of the heroes can only collect orbs from nation whose orb color matches the color of their item, unless in Kittmund. Anyone can collect Kittmund Truth Orbs. Moreover, each Truth Orb will fight their captor. In order to successfully obtain an orb, the hero must defeat their orb be either answering a question, winning in a duel against it, or doing it a special quest.
- Red can only be collected by the Dark Elementalist in the nation of Ciel'fant.
- Orange can only be collected by the Water Elementalist in the nation of Optin.
- Yellow can only be collected by the Earth Elementalist in the nation of Nazzinivia.
- Green can only be collected by the Ice Elementalist in the nation of Nithlium.
- Blue can only be collected by the Lightning Elementalist in the nation of Alshmere.
- Indigo can only be collected by the Fire Elementalist in the nation of Gagdofph.
- Violet can only be collected by the Light Elementalist in the nation of el'Darft.
Pot of Relevance - After dumping all thirty-two Truth Orbs in this large silver pot, thirty-two hidden truths will be revealed. These truths will help the Seven Heroes defeat the evil la'Ronk that lay oppression on the planet of Vistilial. However, these truths alone will not help the heroes survive. They will only make the battle a little... easier. Moreover, only the Forgotten Wind Hero can hear the truths. Anyone else would hear lies.
The Fives Gates to the Water-System - The five gates are nearly impossible to get into, but, when the five keys are found, it makes it all the easier. It is said that behind the gates lies a monster which helps the la'Ronk stay in power. Slay the beast and obtain its power. Lose and... RIP my friend.
Book of Maps - This book contains maps for all the nations. It would make finding hidden locations and tunnels much easier. Perhaps, if acquired, la'Ronk knights or hired assassins could be avoided. This map can also reveal the approximate location of a Truth Orb. Neat, right?
Cemetery of Souls - There is a Truth Orb here, and a large one at that. However, it is rumored that Void will appear to fight the heroes in this spot. It really should be avoided, but, that orb is the most important one of them all. At some point, the heroes will have to risk it all and pray not to cross blades with Void.
The Seven Items - Each of the heroes has their own item that makes them stand out from ordinary people. These items cannot be removed (except upon death) and will glow when around the la'Ronk or enemies. These items tend to be activated by the blood of a loved one. They are also said to give guidance and words of advice when a hero is lost or confused. However, there is said to be a forgotten item. If the rumor is true, the following items will be of importance:

I had started this roleplay on another site and some roles have opened up. Not sure if anyone is interested in them. If so, click here. :)
Re: [OOC] Don't Let Your Hope Fade
I'm somewhat interested in this. Are you looking for people to play Balance/Void and if so, how does it work if/when Void and Balance interact?
Re: [OOC] Don't Let Your Hope Fade
I want to be a water hero, and have two personalities. The sweet girl who want to heal the world, and the dark witch who wants revenge and to cause pain to her enemies.

Re: [OOC] Don't Let Your Hope Fade
The Rise of the la'Ronk
I figure people are wondering where the heck these guys came from and why they got to be the supreme rulers of the land, right? Well, it's quiet simple, a world in turmoil tends to look for a strong authority figure. This figure ended up being L.A. Ronk. He was given the a-okay to bring peace to the world by purging the world of darkness.
Everything was pretty awesome while he was in reign. He was a dictator, but he was a kind loving one. However, one day, his son cast a curse on the male. By that night, L.A. Ronk was found drowned in a vile of poison. With his son as his successor, things started to revert back to the evil chaos that once shook the land.
The people lived in this nasty time for a great many years. Finally sick of the oppression, one man and one woman cast their souls away to the gods so that peace could be brought to the land. Balance and Void were their names. Balance sought out the heavens while Void went to get help from the creatures of hell. With both humans sacrificing themselves to summon these two gods, the peace of the world was restored. The Ronk family was removed from power. All was great and the land was finally starting to heal.
About a few hundred years had passed and the offspring of L.A. Ronk was born. With a twisted nature, the young woman flew up through the ranks and landed as a noble among the rulers. Being wed off to one if the royal families was probably the happiest moment of her life. After being announced the queen of the nation of Alshmere, she slew her husband and the rest of her royal court. Calling forth her own set of followers, the woman began her pursuit to conquer the world.
She, single handedly, took command of the entire planet. Throughout her conquest, she began pregnant and bore three children. Each one slowly died after the other, as the spirits of Balance and Void decided to destroy the babies. However, being only two beings, the youngest of all the children was left alive. His grandchildren now rule over the land. And, to this day, the spirit of Balance has regretted not killing the male. Void, on the other hand, had decided to join the man and infuse his bloodline with a dark power.
People fear the la'Ronk rulers as it is rumored that they can utilize the power of Void as they please. With Void at their side, the currently Ronk Family decided to create a new ruling title that would strike fear in the hearts of all - la'Ronk. la'Ronk came about because every member born into the Ronk family was given names with the initials L and A.
With the la'Ronk now enslaving the land and pushing the people into fear, it is only a matter of time before the entire planet is forced to do as the la'Ronk desire.

The Means of Communication
The cities with technological advances can send messages from one screen to another in just mere seconds. Those nations without the proper internet-like tools, have to use regular means of communication - word of mouth, carrier birds, snail mail, or air express.

The Means of Transportation per Nation
Kittmund
Everything is within walking distance up in this floating city. There are horse drawn carriages that can move people from one location to another. There is also a large air terminal here. Airships always fill the air as this is the main mean of transportation. These ships can very in size. Some are one person aircycles while others are full-blown ships.
el'Darft
Carts are about the only things here that don't require a human to push/pull them. However, there are human drawn carts. As you can guess, walking is the only means of getting around this place.
Ciel'fant
Moving sidewalks and elevators help get people from one location to another in a breeze. There are also cycles and a large air terminal in this nation, as the people of Kittmund frequent this location the most.
Optin
See el'Darft's section for information.
Nazzinivia
Most rides are animal drawn. Walking is also pretty popular here, however, most everyone knows how to ride some sort of creature in this nation. There is, as strange as it may be, a landing strip for the airships. It's not super large, but it's big enough to land something the size of the titanic on it.
Nithlium
This place is pretty much a frozen wasteland. Dog teams and walking are the only means of transportation here. Oh, and the occasional canoe or row boat.
Alshmere
See Nazzinivia's section for information.
Gagdofph
Teleportation tubes, moving sidewalks, boats, airships, etc. You name it, they probably have it. This is, by far, the easiest nation to move about in. You can go from one end of the nation to the other in about ten minutes or, if you prefer, two seconds via teleportation.

See el'Darft's section for information.
Nazzinivia
Most rides are animal drawn. Walking is also pretty popular here, however, most everyone knows how to ride some sort of creature in this nation. There is, as strange as it may be, a landing strip for the airships. It's not super large, but it's big enough to land something the size of the titanic on it.
Nithlium
This place is pretty much a frozen wasteland. Dog teams and walking are the only means of transportation here. Oh, and the occasional canoe or row boat.
Alshmere
See Nazzinivia's section for information.
Gagdofph
Teleportation tubes, moving sidewalks, boats, airships, etc. You name it, they probably have it. This is, by far, the easiest nation to move about in. You can go from one end of the nation to the other in about ten minutes or, if you prefer, two seconds via teleportation.

The Technologies of the Era
Kittmund
Weapons and airships are probably the two things that are more advanced and futuristic in this nation. Soldiers are dressed in the finest of armor, too. People here are decorated with elegant outfits and they come from a wealthy background. You can expect to see theaters and sky shows here.
el'Darft
A primitive nation. Think Aztecs and Mayans. They have an open markets that people attend. You could almost think of it like a Hispanic community or even tribal cultures. Tight-knit, but with limited technologies. Story telling, hand-crafts, etc.
Ciel'fant
Very modern. Think NYC meets Las Vegas meets Tokyo. Tons of lights and noisy. Busy all the time. There are moving sidewalks and elevators here. TVs and banner/bounty boards. The law enforcement in this area has airships and aircycles. A very wealthy place. A lot of gold and silver laced objects are found here. It would be the Goldenrod of Pokemon.
Optin
A pretty depressing place it is here. There is very limited technologies. The light source is fire. Carts and wagons are all human (or animal) drawn. This place would be equivalent to living during the Great Depression. If you have money, you can get by perfectly. If you don't, you have to do what you can to survive.
Nazzinivia
Think Nazi Germany. They have lights and other technologies, but these people specialize in fighting and warfare so they didn't spend time getting TVs and computers. They are a very rough group of people who don't rely on anything but the land around them. Native Americans crossed with Nazi soldier would be a great example for describing these people.
Nithlium
Very agricultural. A lot of farming and irrigation technologies. No tractors or anything, but they do have planes, ships, and wagons for trade purposes. They've also built reservoirs, damns, and hydrolysis-related technologies to help with the farming. They would have electricity, but no TV. Think Amish, but with advanced farming tools.
Alshmere
Ancient Rome would match this city. There isn't much technology here, but the technology they do have came from other nations. Though the people here tend to look down on modern advancements. They like being simple and rudimentary.
Gagdofph
The underwater city is highly advanced, so when visiting here, you could see a lot of futuristic things here. TVs, robots, battleships, tanks, clones, jet-packs, etc. Being driven by science, this nation surpasses all the others and is the leader in 'modern technology' (modern as in way futuristic... think Avatar).
