Introduction

A young elf is caught in a spell, and sealed away. She waited, sometimes patient, sometimes not so much. But it gave her time to get some thinking done. But that was all the time granted her. Just when she thought there was nothing more for her to think over, she blacked out, and woke up lying in a forest.

Confused, she stood and looked around, trying to figure out where she was. When she came across civilization, though, it was to find that a lot had changed. She saw technology that had never existed in her time… and now she must get used to the new time. She wants to find a way back to her own time… though that looks to be impossible.

So now she has to find someone to help her out… that won’t think it’s too strange that she doesn’t know about electric lighting. And, of course, that won’t think her crazy for claiming that she came from so far from the past. And hopefully someone who will at least try to be patient with her… because let’s face it; she needs a lot of help.

But she soon makes another discovery; elves have all but disappeared. There are very few alive today, and she wonders if her brother is still alive. Granted, it is a long time in the future, and he will definitely be older… if he’s alive at all. But what really makes this harder is those few elves cannot reach their full potential, because they have come to ignore their responsibility to nature in favor of the humans technology. So not only does she have to learn about today’s technology… she has to try to show the elves to their full potential through nature. But are they willing to learn?

And the worst part? She was not sealed away on her own. It was another person, causing multiple problems, that was to be sealed away, and he was released when she was. So now not only does she have to try to learn everything new… and try to see whether or not her older brother is still alive… and teach these younger elves how to get a hold of these powers… but she has to be able to find and seal away this trouble-maker before he goes too far in taking his revenge.

Elves- The elves from the past, though they cannot seem to achieve the potential all elves once had, they do have some powers. These powers are either rather weak, and close to useless at times, or completely uncontrollable (as compared to the elves from the past), and cause many problems that they have to keep covering for, especially around humans. They do, however, have some of the physical qualities of the old elves: seeing in pitch black (though their eyes will glow a blood red when they do), superior balance and speed, not as strong as a normal human (though they can be close through years of training), and can instinctively tell the difference between elves, humans, and the other races. All were raised by humans, too. Elves are immortal, and do live for a very long time. They age very slowly, and just stop aging later on (though they, at the very least, have to look like they're young adults when they stop aging). The age they stop growing at depends on the elf's blood (meaning ancestry), personality, and living habits.

Humans- The most common race in this time. There are very few of any other races, mostly because of the humans… not that they remember anything about it. They are, for the most part, oblivious to other races. Only a select few are aware of magic of any kind, and fewer still are aware of other races. Have no magic at all, because of their reliance on technology.

Other Races- I don’t mind having a variety of races, but most of the characters should be human; there is a history, that all humans are unaware of, of humans killing off a good portion of people from other races. They are up to date in present technologies (unless they were the villain trapped with the elf) and, partially because of this, their magical abilities have weakened through generations. Aside from the older brother of the elf, there can be none who directly remember the humans destroying other races; hearing about it from earlier generations, yes, but not a part of any battle back then. All races were also raised by humans who sisn't know what they were. Not all races can be immortal.

((I would like someone to volunteer as the villain; note, I left the race open for you to decide, and the crime, as well. Though, please note again, that the crime must be HUGE; they were supposed to be imprisoned in the seal for a much longer time, but it was shortened only after they realized someone else was caught in it as well.))

Rules

1) No godmodding.

2) It is modern day, so anything you can have today, you can have in the rp.

3) I only want a few other elves, including the older brother, only a few of other races, and most other characters to be humans.

4) Romance is allowed, but keep it pg, people. You all know the site rules.

5) You can create multiple characters, but only if you can keep up with all your characters.

6) Your characters can die, but you need permission from both parties, if it is another character, and you tell me first (which can be done in pm…just let me know).

7) Let me know if you’re going to be unable to post for a while, or if you are just quitting, so we can come up with a reason for your character to be gone.

8) …Not really a rule… but I will send a pm to let you know that your character has been accepted; I will do this for each character you make.

9) And… I think that’s everything… but I’ll add stuff if I think of something, or a question gets asked more than once, so everyone understands. So check back here every now and then.

( * = thinking.)

Zody floated there, calmly waiting for the portal to open. He opened his eyes. There was a fairy in front of him.

"Hello, how are you? I'd like to Introduce myself. I am-"

A sudden flash of light burst through the darkness, and Zody could think or see no more.

Zody felt grass under him, he heard voices. Human voices.

*Humans... Just where AM I? I'll find out soon enough anyway*

Zody opened his eyes and looked into the face of a child.

"Hello young one. I am a.... Wandering Magician. Do you want to see a magic trick?"

Zody stood, seeing a village in front of him. He turned and looked around, feeling his powers return. He was out of his prison. He could get his revenge. He turned to the boy.

"Do you like fire?"

Zody turned around and pointed his finger at the village, suddenly it burst into flames and Zody smiled.

"Now there's a lot of fire, go play in it if you want"

Zody was enveloped within a cloak of darkness, and he disappeared.

Raine was getting impatient. She wasn't sure how long she had been trapped there, but she was sure it was much too long. Though she tried to stay calm, it was only possible on the outside. Inside, she was screaming, 'Let me out already!'

She saw a hint of light, and squinted. There shouldn't have been anything else in there but herself and Zody. Of all the people to get stuck with. But then the light was blinding, and she clenched her eyes shut. Finally, she felt something underneath her. She was out? She pushed herself off the ground, and looked around. It looked like she was in a forest...but there were sounds nearby. She stood, and nearly fell against a tree. She was in that portal for much too long. She waited untl she was a little more sure of her footing before walking towards the sounds. I peeked out.

Humans. Nothing but humans. ...Well, she knew humans were trying to get rid of everything else; maybe this was just one of the human territories, or something. But the foods they were eating were unfamiliar. She looked up, and stared. What had the humans made? Whatever it was, it was much bigger than other buildings. She shook her head, deciding she'd figure it out later on. For now, she had to see how long she had been trapped there, and where she might find someone who knew what was going on.

Re: [OOC] The Sealed

...I suppose we're just waiting on a history, then. :P


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Yeah, the demon/possession is okay.


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Demon/Possession alright? Because, I am not going to lie, my guy is going to be....Well...
On a "Beast" scale of 1-10, he's like, 26.


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

lol...sounds like fun. So we'll both be confused. :P


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Well yeah...always get those two mixed up....

Anyway, I was thinking I'd keep him kind of confused by technology. "Bangstick?! What be this foul sorcery?! *Stabs guy with longsword.*


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Lol...it's been forever since I've heard that. XD

Anyway, I would think the idea would...well...actually be similar to that. That, and I would imagine he would want to take out his revenge on everyone, cuz my thought on sealing someone away would have to be some sort of agreement between a bunch of higher-up peoples...so naturally, he would hold that against everyone. Though I had kinda left that open, too, because I'm not too good at seeing things from too many points of view. My general idea was just that he would be upset at being sealed away and, because it would have been decided between different races.

And, on top of that, he, too, would be confused about the change in time. I don't know how much time he would spen trying to understand it, though, or if he would just destroy anything that he didn't understand. :P

Oh, and a littl side note: protagonist would be the hero; the villain would be called the antagonist. :P


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Well, I've read over the story, and I'm honestly a little confused. But I'm sure that's just ME! And you know me.

What exactly would the protagonist be trying to do, besides slaughter our little elfy-welphy heroine?(The same thing we always do, Pinky: Take ov-..sorry. Forcive habit.)

I've already figured out why he was sealed away....


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Alright, done! ^_^ I think you can go ahead and make the main protagonist; if he does remember, I'll just tell him that we weren't sure he'd be coming back...maybe have him as a lesser character, is all. So go ahead and make the protagonist, and we'll just kind of ignore the previous posts with him as the main protagonist. :P


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Yeah, we do have our main protagonist...but the poerson playing him has been grounded for a month -_- ...so i don't know what to do now...because i can't gaurantee that when he does come back, he'll jump back in...just give me a min to think about what to do here; i'll let you know in a sec here


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

I'll totally join, Crystal. Do you have your main protagonist yet? I totally have a badass that is
e-vile....

And if not, I totally not have another character.


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Hmm...I don't think I'm going to get anymore people...I may just have to start with what we have now...which kinda sucks. I had hoped for more people from the future to be completely confused as to why she doesn't know what electric lighting is. :P Ah well; I'll wait one more day...and then see if I have anyone that wants to join. If not, we'll just continue as the three of us; that sound okay? If any others want to jump in, I'm sure we'll be able to manage to get them into the rp.


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Ah...we have three characters...and I kind want to wait for at least a few more before I actually start it...I just want more people to be trying to help try to teach about this time...but I will start it soon enough.


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

lol...making me think i should have waited a little longer before going to bed last night...

Anyway; no, I don't mind that he was a catalyst for the war. The only idea I had for the wars was that it happened, and the humans nearly wiped everyone else out. So I guess that would be a good thing; give a reason behind it. ...lol...someone with military training...yeah, actually, that might be a good idea...If it's that bad, I may be having problems XD Ah well, yeah, feel free to make that character, Talis.


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

hahahahahah. Trust me Crystal Talis is a magnificent Roleplayer. Im almost thinking of joining just to pit wits against him.
someone with military training


Re: [OOC] The Sealed

Well, I may put my foot forward for the evil fellow that was sealed away. However, I have a few questions before I hand in my character sheet... Wow, it sounds like I'm doing homework...

At any rate, the idea I have for the character... Seeing as I got the idea before a name, and a race... And an appearance. Yeah, I didn't say I was done...

Anyway, Idea. I was thinking that my guy be reason why the other races are so rare. Such as a catalyst that caused the wars that destroyed the other races... Of course, I plan to elaborate further if I am green lighted (And as soon as I cobbled together an elaboration...).

Now, if you had a set idea of the history already in mind, then go ahead and smack my hand away. I'll come up with something less nefarious.

Either way, expect him to be a magnificent bastard and not one of those doom and gloom evil fellows.


[OOC] The Sealed

"The Sealed"

Alright; this is the OOC for The Sealed...though the name may be changed soon. :P Now, in the rp, I do expect good grammar and punctuation; I understand typos and not knowing how to spell big words, but at least try. However, here, in the OOC, I really couldn't care less. As long as people understand what you're saying, you can mispell and use text speak, just make sure everyone else understand it, okay?

This is where you can ask questions about the rp, and make suggestions as far as plot...or anything else, really. If there are questions, comments, or suggestions, make them here, not in the actual rp, okay?

I would also like arguments to stay out of here, unless they are little "play-arguments." I don't mind characters having an issue with each other, but don't bring them out of the character. Just because your characters don't get along doesn't mean you can't all get along and behave civily towards each other.

...And...I think that's all I wanted to say. If you have any questions you don't want to ask here, just send me a pm.
