Introduction
The plot:
Somewhere between the galaxies there's a small world that revives our old conception of our mother Earth - it's not round, it's a flat piece of solid ground. It's called Caelum.
It has many places, but most of the civilization lives in the two cities.
Orientem, where most of the ground is under water, which is shallow enough so nobody could drown.
And Occidens, where we can see enormous trees, who have many homes. They're like buildings with flats. There are flooded grounds too, but are much lesser than Orientem's, and are deeper.
Long ago they didn't really exist. The whole world was covered in united civilization, until the habitats started fighting. Eventually they decided to split into these two cities. Nowadays, few remember the cause of the conflicts. Sadly, few think that the conflict must stop.
It is a law for everyone to start a duel once they meet somebody from the other city in the neutral zone. You may be banished from your birth city if you refuse a fight. You may get injured if you lose... or even if you win. How do you know if the person in front of you is one of the enemies? And how do you know if one of your alliances refuses a fight? Everyone can magically feel these things.
Everything gets harder and harder when there are people who just want peace, but can't do anything about it. It reaches the top of everything if one falls for someone from the other city, which isn't a rare case.
Once they used to fight for the other places besides their cities. However, they got tired of this. Besides, there are some people, who live in the neutral zone and would protest if their land is suddenly claimed. Do you want to know more about the neutral zone? Yes? Then I'll tell you. No? Then skip, although it's kind of an important part of the story.
The Portal - First you think of a place and then step into it. There's 90% guarantee that you'll teleport on the place you were thinking of, as long as it's in Caelum
The Bloody Desert - The red sand isn't the only reason for it's name.
The forests - they are many, different and enormous. Usually banished people, or species connected to nature live there.
Flaming Aurora - Everybody loves this place.
Feel free to add more ideas about the neutral zone.
Education is very important for everyone, so each main city has its own academy, which is includes students at the ages of 4-23. Even if you're banished, you continue going to your school, but your reputation will hit the bottom and make a hole in it.
The Orientem Academy
The Occidens Academy
The characters
Almost limitless choises. You can put in whatever species you want - humans, witches, elves, vampires, werewolves, orcs, trolls, something made up by you, or even mixes! But don't make a mix of more than two species.
Originally, this story didn't have slots, but now I'll put the needed ones.
Habitats from Occidens: (1 needed)
-
Habitats from Orientem: (2 needed)
-
-
And no, none of them is banished into the neutral zone.

Feel free to add more.
I've never rejected characters before and I don't think I'll start any time soon. If there's something wrong with the application, I'll just tell you to change it and then will accept your character. :)
Rules:
- No perfect and overpowered characters.
- If you can't catch up, don't be shy and ask for a slow down in the OOC
- It says it on the character sheet, but I'll put it in the rules too - we have enough characters from the neutral zone, so they should be either from Orientem, or from Occidens.
- Visit the OOC
- Be committed! Post often enough to get this story somewhere, or even... get it done!
- Be creative! For example, your character may find a way to break rules. (Not these, the ones in Caelum)
- Don't separate from the others, make your character contact with the others as much and as soon as possible!
- Feel free to ask questions and give ideas.
- Quality over quantity. Don't write novels, write something interesting and important, even if it takes one line!
- Don't overuse the one liners.
- I won't kill you if you make mistakes, but make it literal enough so everyone can understand and enjoy your creation.
- Don't overuse the swearing. If your character HAS to swear, there are stars. ***
- Write in third person and past tense.
- Don't post more than 3 characters.
- Don't abandon your character at the first sign of inactivity.
- Don't abandon your character in the middle of an important interaction.
- Don't abandon your character... at all.
- When the amount of characters reaches 15, I'll no longer accept, except if we've reached 15, you didn't know that and rushed to spend a huge amount of time making the 16th one.
So... have fun! :)

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 4 authors
Occidens Academy. Adion's hell. Kids everywhere giving him dirty looks as he passes by while yelling profane statements of misunderstanding and hate. Yet none approach Adion. No, none would ever risk their lives for that which they believed in. Yet they say that the war must continue. How foolish of a way of thinking. Saddening truly. Shadow was what everyone feared, yet if Adion was not exiled, then he would be attacked if he entered the other of the 2 warring cities. Then why don't the people of Occidens attack Adion and Shadow, those from Orientem would without pause. If he was from Orientem, then the same thing would happen over there too.
Adion walked down the halls of Occidens Academy, paying no attention to the countless insults and comments. He was merely trying to get to the next class, in which he would be ridiculed by the teacher and students alike. He only ever came because he had to. What a pathetic reality Adion lived, having only animals treat him with respect. Yet, if he were to disrespect a citizen of Occidens, then all his world would come crashing down on him. He would be flooded with police brutality and jail time. What a joke these people were.
Adion sat down in his seat to hear the teacher do as he did everyday. An insult for being late, an insult for having a pet in school, an insult for being wrong in his thoughts. If the teacher and other students could insult Adion, they went about doing it. They all knew that Adion could kill anyone in the room with a simple word, "Attack." That's all it would take, and Shadow would make sure that only a body remained. That would be murder, and Adion would get in less trouble for murder than he would for just insulting someone. Got to love Occidens.
The teacher then began to go on about today's lesson. Why the war is just, but no, Adion cannot speak his piece. That would be a crime. So he was forced to sit back and listen to the teacher brainwash the students with war fiend propaganda. From this fake historical event to that supposedly honorable battle. Out of nowhere the teacher called upon Adion, asking him what the area of the neutral zone that he lived in was like. To this, Adion responded "Well, where I live is a beautiful place. One of peace and prosperity were all those who exist there stop conflicts when they get to a certain point. A place where nature rules through kindness and respect, accepting the ideals of any who are peaceful. The only rule there is that all have to work together and accept each others differences. Around this time, the trees stand tall with leaves of green and orange, some even being blue. Oh, and no one argues."
"Adion, how could you think such jiberush as beauty. That place sounds absolutely hideous and disgusting. To spew such vile words like they are things that need to be said! What horrible thoughts go though your head?" screamed the teacher.
"Why do you think I was exiled. Sometimes, people just happen to see things differently than most. This does not make those things wrong or vile, merely different. Or maybe that is your description of disgusting and vile, different. These cities and people would not exist if we were not different from the trees and the water, yet you don't belittle them. I fail to see why you think that such comradery is bad." spoke Adion. Just what he needed, to back-mouth the teacher. He would be expecting guards from Occidens to come and visit him sometime soon.

Ellery hated attending school. She's not a banished person but her family are from neutral zone apart from her Father he's from the Occidens but he left so he could marry the love of his life, Ellery's mother; Juniper. Ellery had came along a few years later and now she's the angry faced outsider at the Occiden's Academy.
Ellery longed to be back in the woods hunting with her father, darting between trees like a deer and stalking like a tiger. However this waste of a school is apparently important.
Ellery walked to class late her head darkened by the shadow of a chunky plait which fell just past her chest. Ellery muttered her sarcastic apology and sat down. No one looked at her no one spoke to her, the way she liked it. Ellery sighed school had never been easy. Hybrids were almost as disrespected as the banished.
Ellery's eyes were crisp and dark like autmun leaves and her iris looked tired whilst her pupils showed her restless discomfort. Ellery was a confident girl but something about being trapped in these four walls made her shadow inside herself. Everyone thought she was weak but if Ellery rolled up her sleeves they'd know better. She wasn't ripped but toned like a athlete.
Her eyes narrowed and the torture Ellery knew as.education began, kind of.
Ellery smirked as a kid started to back chat to the Teacher. Ellery agreed with him entirely but she would never speak up about it.

The sad part of today, for Adion at least, is that people shut up when he was near them. Everyone began to treat him like they do the hybrids, ignore them like they don't exist. No teachers mocked him, no fellow students insulted him as he walked by. He wondered why they suddenly backed off of him, but he guessed that it had something to do with his little speech.
Remembering back to that point, he remembered the hybrid looking like she agreed with him. Adion had many moments where he would have talked to her, but he was afraid that if he did that, that she would be treated even worse than she already was. She seemed like she would like to have someone to hunt with, but Adion was never good at reading people. Animals on the other hand, he hand no trouble seeing into them.
Suddenly Adion heard something. "Adion Volf, come here!" yelled the principal at the top of her lungs. "Well, looks like the guards found out about my little speech." Adion thought to himself. He knew that he could easily escape to the forest and truly live his own life. However, something compelled Adion to walk to the principal and follow her into the office.
In the office, 2 city guards stood with spears in their hands. "Are you Adion Volf?" asked the guard on the left. Adion let out an irritated huff before responding with "Yes." The guards then walked over to Adion and said "Your going to have to come with us, please."
Adion and Shadow followed the guards to the jail. Adion had figured that he would end up here at the speech. It would not have been the first time that he was here, but it would be Shadow's first time. What happened next surprised Adion all together. The 2 guards took him to the guard captain and sat Adion down in a chair. The guard captain looked at Adion and said "Listen, I understand that I should have you interned for this, but if you can keep your mouth shut about your view of the world, I will let you go home without trouble." Of course, Adion said "Yes sir." without a moments pause.
He went home thinking to himself that if the teacher didn't want to hear his view then she should have never asked him about himself or his home.

(short post because I had one earlir that got deleted D:)
If one were to arrive at Adion's house, one would find a broken window.
Inside, one would find a beautiful azure bird with long shimmering tail feathers, definantly not a native species.
On the birds swan like neck, one would find a collar with a silvery tag reading:
Eyäer ina, solin iyr Elunia Fyradova, iè Eludara xè
(if you character speaks Thedalian, or finds a way to translate it, it will read "if found, please return to Elunia Fyradova, of Eludara forest)

Ellery
She silently wished the guy luck because she didn't think it was fair that we had to keep our thoughts and opinions private, They should be allowed to help improve their society, but no we go to jail instead.
Ellery frowned and turned her attention to scratching her name in the desk boredly. Her nail was struck by a wave of pain and Ellery sighed paranoid. Chipped a nail. Ellery laughed under her breath and then shut up before she got a taste of ear aching letures on being a decent person...I'll never be decent...I'm a hybrid for god's sake... Ellery thought miserably.
That's when an image hit her. It burnt her mind tearing her retinas apart as it took over her vision. A tree was on fire burning lighting up the sky with bright orange streaked red and even white in places. Ellery choked on her breath. She knew the tree. It was near where she lived. She grabbed a pencil and began drawing it all over the pages over her book until her mind eased, not before she squealed at the pain.
Ellery's 'gift' from her Tyrelle blood was painting possible scenes from the future but the problem is she never knows when it will happen or if it even will happen, Just that she needs to try and prevent it. Ellery would rather be a standard boring human- Actually, no she wouldn't. Ellery would rather be anything but ordiary...but she still found herself wondering if being human would be so dull. Ellery didn't have anything ordinary about her so she'd never have a clue but the idea to be the same was completely resented by Ellery and her stubborn mind.
She was half vampire to start and was quick and strong which helped her be an even stronger hunter and foe. She was half tyrelle and felt safer and more secure around nature where she could hunt and breathe unrecycled air. She lived in neutral zone...Where she was free to speak because there was no where else to be banished too. She predicited horrid sights she couldn't change. She couldn't bare class but had always been clever and intelligent. What's ordinary about that?

Adion got home to see his window smashed. "Shadow, do you smell anyone else?" Adion asked his wolf. Well, neither of the 2 could detect any other humans. Something was odd, however. The presence of an animal that wasn't Shadow, or even a wolf, but a bird.
Adion opened the door to his home to find that excluding the glass from his window, that his home had been undisturbed. Adion walked over to the bird slowly. He was trying to figure out whether it was natural or not. Adion got close enough to not that the bird was natural, but it had a tag in some unreadable language. So, Adion did what he thought was the best solution to the problem, he ask the bird "Who do you belong to?"
The bird replied with "Elunia Fyradova, of Eludara forest." Well, Adion had no clue who Elunia Fyradova was, but he knew where Eludara Forest was. Thus, Adion put a couple of boards over his window and headed off to Eludara Forest.

ELLERY
She couldn't take it much longer so claiming she needed the toilet she snuck out of school and started the long journey home. She'd have to stay out in the forests around her home because her Father would kill her for ditching her classes for lazing in the woods but then again he didn't see how life at her school was.
Sighing she kicked logs and head down she watched her feet take turns to take up ground. The earth and leaves were kicked up in the air by the toe of her brown fur boots as she walked. As she got deeper in the forest she felt happier and a sense of freedom and joy filled her heart. She laughed as her inner Tyrelle glowed within her. Her dragged walk became a jog and then that slowly evolved into a full blown sprint she dived over logs quicker then cheetah this was only because her mother was a vampire though no Tyrelle could run like this. Her laughter echoed and bounced off trees until Ellery found a lake blocking her path.
The lake was practically green a nice shade of dark sea green to be precise and the sun blinded the ripples white. Ellery smiled she knew this lake but it wasn't where she had intended to be. She thought about diving in but she wasn't in the mood for being wet so instead she kicked off her boots rolled up her trousers and dumped her legs up to the shin in the water watching the occasional bird swoop in to steal a fish and then watch it disappear again.
Ellery laid back breathing deeply cloaked in the harmony of rippling water and singing birds. It didn't take a genius to figure out she had to be related Tyrelle the way the sun beams seemed to naturally find her face and the way she was so relaxed with her feet being surrounded by possibly dangerous fish. She closed her eyes smiling and let her skin soak up the sun. Who needs school anyway?

It was no about 6:54 PM and Adion found his way to the lake that marked the halfway point to Eludara Forest. He came out to the lake with Shadow at his side and the bird that broke into his house on his arm. It sure was beautiful. The way everything just seemed to come together. From the birds to the fish in the lake to the tree line to the sun sitting just high enough in the sky. There was one thing that was out of place yet had the feeling of being in place. It was the girl that was the hybrid.
Adion approached the girl and said "Hi I'm Adion. What's your name?" Adion had never talked to the hybrid and would at least like to hear her story, but if he could manage to make a humanoid friend, all the better. Shadow sat down very happily next to his master as the bird moved to Adion's should so that Adion could put his arm down. Adion knew one thing for certain, he and the hybrid were both very connected to nature.

Ellery almost fell forward into the water...someone spoke to her. She stood up making the ground she'd been sat on before wet almost as wet as her very own skin.
"Hi...I'm Ellery." She wondered if he knew of her mixed blood he must do as despite never telling a soul everyone else at school seemed to know. She looked at him with big dark eyes and then at the animal by her feet. She smiled brightly however when she saw the bird. It was beautiful to her beautifully stunning and it made her smile. Ellery loved animals especially birds so to see one of such beauty really made her smile. Her smiling however calmed as she looked back at Adion.
She was a bit embarrassed about being caught but what could she do? Ellery had never spoke to him before so she didn't even know what to expect. Would he grass her up? Somehow she doubted it...mostly.

The girl, who introduced herself as Ellery, had not yet attacked Adion. She smiled at Shadow and the bird, but it faded when her eyes had come back to Adion. He wasn't sure if the look in her eyes was slight hate, or just plain discomfort. Adion guessed that it was the discomfort.
"I have never ran into anyone at this lake. May I ask why you are here?" asked Adion. It was true that Adion had never ran into anyone by the small lake, but he would normally travel around the forests from 8 PM to 11 PM. Still, Adion knew that this lake was off the radar of most, but animals seemed to be attracked to it, so Adion guessed that is why Ellery was here.

Ellery sighed softly. "Honestly I don't know...I ran out of school and ended up here..." She waited for him to take the mick out of her heritage but part of her doubted he would but the rest of her was so used to it. Her brown eyes qere stuck on the guy and his animals she eventually looked back at the floor like she usually did.
She played with the hem of her blouse. She was normally confident but then again socialising was her weaknessShe sucked in a silent breath and felt the sun burning her shouldera in pleasently.

"I caught a lucky break after answering the teacher's question. I answered it as honestly as I could.... He shouldn't have asked the question if he didn't want a true answer, or at least my point of view." said Adion, almost going off track. He quickly followed up with "I can see why you skipped school. It's not like it's a heaven for those who believe that we can live without constant warfare."
It was becoming more and more obvious that Ellery was not a people person. She showed obvious signs of being nervousness around Adion. Maybe if Adion was lucky, he would make an ally today. This did not seem likely though.

"Yeah...or a hybrid..." she sighed. Ellery didnt know for certain that hw kbew what she was but she assumed he did because everyone seemed too. "I agree with you by the way. Every last word you said before you got sent out made sense." Her second sentance was quieter then her first as if embarassed to agree with him. Ellery hated confessing...even the stupid confessions like that.
Ellery's eyes fillowed a brightly coloured butterfly and the green tint to her iris became more obvious has inner tyrelle rejoiced. Ellery had always had a thing for butterflies and she hadn't a clue why but something about them made her stop and think

Adion watched the butterfly as well. Maybe not for the same reason as Ellery, but still, his yellow, wolf-like eyes followed the butterfly. To any half good beast master, the butterfly was singing a most beautiful song. One of peace and life, the gentle flows of life and nature and fate. Adion found himself seeming to be distracted by the butterfly, its voice being beautiful like all the other butterflies. On the other hand, Shadow and the bird failed to even take their eyes off of Ellery.
"I have something to ask you. Do you also hear the voices of animals? So often I hear songs by lakes and forests, and cries in cities. The animals don't care if they are put to work, but they still want room to be allowed in." Adion said, obviously speaking to Ellery. It was said a bit quieter then the rest of their conversation.

Ellery knew what he meant even half blodded Tyrelle can hear nature's songs. She just nodded. "I thought it was a Tyrelle thing..." She confessed her eagle eyes were fixed on the butterfly and her lips tipped up slightly in a shy smile. She went to turn away from the beautiful insect but her eyes were firm on the creature. The butterfly started to fly higher and higher until it dissappeared from her sight. Freed from her trance she turned to the man before her.
Ellery's smile had faded when the butterfly did and it made Ellery wonder if she was just a sad person but how could that be when some things give her such joy? She picked at the question for a bit then smiling politely said "I better be going...I have a few things to sort out before I'm due home." She half lied. Ellery did have things to do but she didn't have to be home at anytime sometimes Ellery stayed away weeks at a time and her parents barely battered an eyelid at her return.
She smiled and with a small wave she was gone. Ellery searched for 'her' tree. Where she hid a spare bow and quiver. She retrieved them and started her hike up hill to the water hole she had better chances there but her bow was always poised with an arrow ready to fly.

"Hey..." A voice next to Adion could be heard. A blonde woman with pale skin, green eyes and freckles was standing there, observing the lake. "I heard you had problems." She said. "That girl went away fast." She was referring to Ellery. "I guess she has problems too. Hey, did you know that the blue ravens can befriend all animals, even their natural enemies? Pretty awesome, eh?" The woman started petting Shadow. "My name is Livenine. I'm a serial killer." Livenine joked. "I used to have some quarrels with the teachers and the principal in the Occidents Academy. Sometimes I tried to murder the land separating beliefs, but being a serial killer isn't that easy."
"Beast masters gain the ability when they bind to their first animal." Adion responded to Ellery. They were both just watching the butterfly fly around singing, before it flew away. Adion's eyes fell back to Ellery at the same time hers fell to his. Ellery then said that she had some things to do at home began to leave with a wave. Adion responded with "Good bye, then." and a wave.
Out of nowhere, another woman, one who had skin his color, freckles, and green eyes. She then said something about problems and blue ravens. Blue ravens were a good animal to began to try the abilities of a beast master on. They were a peaceful and talkative bird that could also teach beast masters a thing or two. Adion responded to the new woman with "Blue ravens are also used by beast masters as a starter for speaking or control. They are peaceful and very rarely resist when someone goes poking around in their mind."
The woman then intoduced herself as a serial killer, while petting Shadow. Shadow wasn't saying anything about her indicating that she wanted to kill Adion. The woman then went further into detail, but Adion could not tell if she was an "idea" killer or a people killer. She had also introduced herself as Livenine.

The foreign bird had been watching Ellery the whole time, never taking it ochre eyes off the hybrid. When she walked, the bird remained there for a little while. When the other girl seemingly appeared out of nowhere, the bird glanced at the girl, before turning back in the direction Ellery walked off to.
The bird opened its wings, and with one, powerful flap, was off in the direction of the Hybrid.
Arriving at the tree Ellery was at, the bird landed on the ground. It just stood there for a few moments, before tilting its head
"you have been there, haven't you?" it asked.

"Don't worry. I don't kill people." Livenine said. "They're too fast while running for their lives, and I'm too lazy to chase them." Livenine was peacefully watching the lake. Breeze blew her hair and caressed her face. "You know what? Not everything at the academy is awful. You need to find the good things there. I managed to do it years before I graduated. Can you do it by yourself? Well then, nobody will help you. Ok, I lied. I will." She looked at Adion.
Adion noted as the bird that had been resting on his shoulders flew away. It was nothing that Adion hadn't expected, he was just standing there after all.
"The only 2 good things about the academy were that if you tried hard enough you might find a fragment of unbiased knowledge, and that it keeps the people away from the neutral lands. That's all that I had ever found." Adion said with an obvious dislike of the academy. He thought the girl in from of him was pretty, but that was all that he could tell. He had some trouble believing her, and he didn't know why. Maybe he was just a little bit on guard. It seemed like Shadow liked the girl.

Ellery gazed at the bird boredly swearing because it scared away her hunt.
"What, I don't know." She answered the bird quickly calming from her outburst of curses. "Sorry, forgive me...I shouldn't of...acted like that." She added with a soft sigh.
Ellery had been moments away from claiming a young buck fresh from the spring but the bird had sent it running. No problem, I'll track it... Ellery thought quietly. Her nose creasing slightly as she thought away busily at so many different things, but most of them things she'd never talk about with other people because other people judge and gossip but the silence can't gossip or judge

"Well, if you try hard enough, you'll find something actually useful. Or, I'll just tell you what I found. You know? Spells are something good. I've learned them at school. They are awesome. You know? I've met people from Orientem. They're not much different. Some of them want to end this either. I can see who is fed up with all these rules. I knew you were one of them in the moment I saw you. I wouldn't be able if it wasn't for spells. I wouldn't have known how to use them, if it wasn't for the Academy. There we go, a reason to like the Academy." Livenine told Adion. "We can't start a revolution out of sudden. But meanwhile, befriending people around Caelum is an option. The neutral zone won't be the only place that can make you feel peaceful..."
An arrow whizzed through and a brunette beauty rocketed behind it. Amary had learnt to be quick at retrieving her kills because animals scavenge and people steal and anyway Amary was freakishly hungry and wanted to get this rabbit on the spit quickly. Petit brown boots batted the soft dirt harshly leaving clear obvious footprints behind her.
Amary reached her meal with a hissed 'Yes' of victory. The rabbit's eye was pierced by her arrow and quiet obviously dead. Amary ripped the arrow out and picked up the rabbit by the ears. Body held high despite her small height Amary stated her march back to her place. When she. Wasn't sulking back in the city she was in the woods in her red wood cabin. She loved it here and she had more belongings and memories here then at home.

"I didn't learn a single spell from the academy. I learned them all from a beast master after I brought in Shadow here. It is kind of hard to learn anything in that academy through all the propaganda and bull shit that they force down our throats." Adion said. He thought that it was more than true, and he had learned all of his skills through a master beast master. "And who in Caelum would be foolish enough to just start a rebellion without having 'friends' to help out? But it is not the fact that this is the neutral zone that makes me feel peaceful, but the fact that there is nature all around me. It is the animals and the plants that make me happy, not having to deal in politics." stated Adion. Livenine seemed like she had a plan, but Adion wanted to figure her out first.
