IC

In this world, there is a balance. In this world, there is peace. In this world, there is a unity.

However, in this world, there are dark times ahead. The balance broken, the peace shattered, the unity broken. In a world where the six elements reside in perfect harmony, the breaking of this balance is catastrophic. The people live protected by the scions of the elements, the Guardians. There are special people who can summon these Guardians to fight for them, and with their aid, they help sustain the balance of the elements. However, the Ruscave, the people of the western continent, and the master of Dark Summoning, have risen to break this balance. They are strong, and years of peace have led to the other countries to be weak. In dire times, it is said that two Grand Summoners will travel the land to gather Summoners to guide the world back to peace.

This is the story of those dire times....

--------------------------------------------------

In this RP, you play as a Summoner, attuned to one of the six elements: Light, Dark, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind. Also, each Summoner has a unique summon that can only be summoned by them. Also, the six elements are split in half and fall under one of two Divine Elements, Solar and Lunar. Light, Fire, and Earth reside under Solar, while Dark, Water, and Wind reside under Lunar. The Grand Summoners can summon any summon under their Divine Element, and can also summon a Divine Guardian. I will take the role of the Solar Grand Summoner, leaving Lunar open to the first to call it. The two Grand Summoners follow separate paths with similar goals, to recruit Summoners to stop the Ruscave. You can play as either a Summoner, or a Ruscave. Also, you can be a summoner with the dark element, but if you play as a Ruscave, you must be attuned to dark.

These are the Rules for this RP:
1. I am the final decision in this RP. If I deny your character sheet don't complain about it. Just recreate it and I'll look over it.
2. Post at least ever other day, this shouldn't be too hard.
3. Follow standard RPG rules.

Now then, this is the character skeleton:

And the Guardian skeleton:

Name:
Element:
Appearence:
Abilities:

Here is mine as an example:

Name: Arith
Age: 19
Personality: Easy going, charasmatic, and strong-willed. People feel at ease around him, and cooperates well with others.
Bio: When he was born, the symbol of Solar had appeared on his chest. He was raised in the Temple of the Sun, trained in the arts of Summoning, for his birth signified that a great disaster was near. He rarely saw his parents, for the weight of the world rested on his shoulders. When he turned 18 he departed on his journey to find other Summoners who could help him fight the Ruscave. He knew of the existance of the of Grand Summoner, and hoped he would run into them on his journey.
Element: Solar

Summon
Name: Solaris
Element: Solar
Abilities: Being the Divine Summon of Solar, she has the abilities of any element under her domain, along with the power of the element Solar which she channels into her sword.

May I reserve the Dark element? I'll have my Character Sheet up tomorrow :) I have to go right now bed time ^-^"

[Character sheet will be placed here once finish]

Sure...you can reserve dark.

Just wondering, how many people are you planning to recruit, and are there only one person of each element? And what exactly is a Ruscave, other than that he's evidently an evil summoner? Do they have any special skills or any less powerful?

I was trying to keep the recruitment number under 10, and there can be more than one element. Also, the Ruscave are a race of people characterized by their raven black hair and pale skin. They have no extraordinary powers, but are incredible powerful at dark summoning, perhaps the best.

Kk then thanks. So uh... here's mines then!

Name: Nagare
Age: 18
Appearence:
Personality: Studious, sarcastic, generally depressed. He likes to make fun of others to pass the time.
Bio: Nagare was born in a poor village, who knew nothing of the symbols of the elements. So when he was born with a mark on his left shoulder, the village thought of it as a curse. The family had been banished from the village because of this. The parents and the infant had traveled from village, to city, to town, looking for jobs, just barely surviving.

They had come across a wanderer, who had recognized the mark on Nagare's shoulder, and explained to them, the meaning of this mark. At the time, Nagare was only five. The parents willingly gave him away to travel with this wanderer, to learn the art of summoning. He was taken to the wanderer's master, who lived in a temple close to the ocean. This old man taught him everything he knew, though unwillingly, about summoning, and the lore behind the guardians. However when the master died while Nagare was 16, he decided to depart and wander on his own.
Element:Water

Name: Aquar
Element: Water
Appearence:
Abilities: Able to control water to the point of being able to freeze and evaporate it, or even create powerful jets of water, his conductors baton can make the water dance to his rhythmic commands.

Alright accepted.

You call, I answer. Here's the other Grand Summoner.

Name: Diane Catania
Age: 16
Appearence: Tall and slim, with silver-blue eyes and waist-length black hair.
Personality: Very quiet and reserved, Diane shuns crowds and prefers the company of nature. She is polite to others, but often seeks solitude.
Bio: Diane became aware of her abilities at the age of six, but hid them in order to maintain a normal life. Since the mark of the Moon only appeared on her stomach by night, she was able to keep her secret hidden from even her family.
Element: Lunar

Summon
Name: Selene
Element: Lunar
Appearance: A spectral silver cat, with eyes that shift colors according to her mood.
Abilities: Selene is relatively weak during the day, only able to fight with tooth and claw. At night, however, she is able to manipulate illusions and drain energy from her targets. Her physical strength also varies with the phases of the moon.

All right, I lied. They're here now. Bios will be up tomorrow, though. (Once I think some up, that is.)

Name: Zeke van Coni
Age: 21
Personality: Quiet, somewhat argumentative if pushed, tends to play devil's advocate. He tends to be tolerant of people if they are tolerant of him, and finds it difficult to lose his respect for people. However, if he does lose his respect for someone, he rarely regains it.
Bio: Zeke was raised by his father and uncle in a poor village. When Zeke was thirteen, his father was accidentally killed by the wife of the butcher down the street. (She thought he was robbing the store, and attempted to knock him out with a fire poker, but caused a fatal head injury.)
Element: Wind

Name: Mazzicks
Element: Wind
Appearance: Mazzicks is about twelve feet tall, and in the shape of an adolescent girl with short brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a short magenta tunic and an open shirt with floppy sleeves over top. Her major wings are long, birdlike ones extending from her sleeves into large, orange feathers with light brown stripes opposite to the direction of the feathers. She also has thin minor wings extending from the small of the back of her tunic, similar in design to her major wings. She has a blue rope around her waist with large round blue beads on it, and she wears thick-soled purple flip-flops.
Abilities: Can alter weather through manipulation of wind and temperature.

---

Name: Luciphor Lee
Age: 25 (appears about 7)
Appearance: Louie is a Ruscave, but he uses his summon's ability to mask his appearance. Naturally, he is tall, lanky, and lopsided, with a long, gaunt face, thick eyebrows, and a large nose. His preferred disguise is that of a young boy with a healthy tan, fluffy blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and freckles.
Personality: He's rather loud and obnoxious, and tends to be bossy if he doesn't get his way. He adores messing with people, and for the most part completely ignores that he happens to be in the form of a cute little boy. He also curses a lot.
Bio:
Element: Dark (what else?)

Name: Skoteinomystiko, (Skote for short) often disguised as an elfy guy.
Element: Dark
Appearance: A large, black dragon, about thirteen stories high, with sea-monster-like ornamentation around his face. His wings are batlike and ragged, and his body has a skinny, unhealthy look to it. His legs and feet are gnarled and aged-looking, and the end of his tail sports an asymmetrical assortment of semi-prehensile ends. His disguise is that of an attractive male elf with long, thin pointed ears and blonde hair that hangs past his shoulders. He retains his piercing chartreuse dragon's eyes, more to confuse people than anything.
Abilities: Can create illusions around things that disguise their true appearance. Aside from that, he's a big freaking dragon.

I would redownload the images and upload them to tinypic so I could use them, but that seems like a lot of trouble to go to to do something that may not be entirely legal. Although, they are really good pictures...

Name: Sieg
Age:18
Appearence: Sieg is 5'9 with short grey hair, pale skin tone, and red eyes
Personality: Sieg is psychotic and sadistic. He is devoid of any morality and fails to see the consequences of his actions. But he posses a tiny sliver of humanity.
Bio: Sieg witnessed the murder of both his parents at the age of seven and it deeply afflicted his personality. He was discovered by passing monks who spotted the symbol of fire on the back of his right hand and took him with them. They brought him to the temple of fire at the foot of a volcano. They taught everything he needed to know about summoning. But the trauma of his parents deaths left him detached from humanity and extremely violent. The monks came to fear what he had become and labeled him a monster and attempted to eliminate him, but he'd learned all he needed to know to protect himself and destroy the temple. He now wanders around seeking strong opponents

Also, it appears sandra.net has caught up with me, so I'm putting in text descriptions for the characters whose appearances have busted links.

Sympathizing with what DCLXVI said, we should be careful and pace ourselves...wait and let others reply in time so that no one's left behind in a wall of text. 'Cuz I see this happen a lot and many RPs die this way.
