Introduction
CAUTON, LONG INTRO, READ AT YOUR OWN DESCRETION
CHARACTER SKELLY AT THE BOTTOM
STORY
There is a peculiar group of teenagers living in Grand City, they have no hideouts, no specific rules, they just drift. One day they visit a Scientist's lab, and decide to stay there from now on, but someone wasn't careful with what they touched, and they sent the teens spiralling into the past. Suddenly they woke up near a village, with no idea where they were, and the machine they used to get there had no power. What will they do? There are a variety of choices from slave working to theft, you decide. Also, you could join the Serenian Militia, a group devoted to defending Amaranth from invaders and brigands, monsters and sorcerers. At some pint in the RP, the kids will choose to either stay in Amaranth or return home.
THE KIDS
(Lance, Played By Zody): Agile, quick and daring, he is that one guy you can always count on. Well, nearly always. Has a bad home life, but his friends don't know. He's also been to jail.
(Drake, Played By ShadtheWerepire): Deceptive and smart, drake will probably destory your brains.
(Nero, Played By FrozenShard): A Young Cute Girl With A Very Freakish Shy Personality
(Amoura, Played By Fallen): A fragile, quiet, and emotional girl. Overly trusting and very naive. She is what everyone else wants her to be, and has yet to live for herself. She is a tortured soul, with many secrets.
(Minako, Played By NaotoArisato): Girl who lived with her grandfather, before he died, she was also a juvenile delinquent, but stopped when her clsoe friend was killed.
(Faithy, Played By xfaithyx123): Sweet Girl, Honest, loving and she controls Dark magic and loves new weapons.
(Red, Played By angelwolf123): Ran away from home, from a bad family, her brothers are crackpots, and her mother was weak willed. Doesn't talk about her father.
(Chevette, Played By Soul_Eater): Extremely resourceful girl who likes dark magic.
(Leon, Played By xCrossX21): Guy who wants to be an Assassin, hates loud music and has Claustrophobia.
(Hashana, Played By Nanase): An incredibly smart young girl who despite her painful past has managed to recover and find a new life among the Grand City Vagrants (what she calls them).
(Shayna, Played By Kugorie): Kind girl who is scared of water, spiders and sharks, also has an Uzi.
POWERS
Some people in Amaranth are gifted with powers, some in the modern world have these powers as well, but cannot tap into them until certain conditions are met. The time travel occurance has obviously changed that. Now the kids have powers, but they are very limited, only with training can they have true control. There are a few types of powers. These include:
- Necromancy, the revival and manipulation of dead objects, not limited to humans and creatures. You could control anything that has no life energy, such as a tree or a rock.
- Elemental Magic, the manipulation of elements, such a fire or air. earth can be used to make a shield, and fire can be used to burn wounds, helping them to heal.
- Light Magic, the type of magic used to form barriers and heal wounds, also includes the manipulation of light, and the derivations of light. An example is making a solid spear of light.
- Dark Magic, the use of anger and hate, and darkness, to inflict pain and bad luck on opponents, but beware, such actions will come back to you eventually.
SKILLS
Everyone has skills, if they be art or the mastery of of weapons. Think of your own.
THE KARMIC CIRCLE
The Karmic Circle is a major belief in Amaranth, it is the centrepoint of magic and the focus of many religions and cults. Most people will scold you if you doubt in it's existance, and some will even try to destroy you in its name. The Karmic circle is a powerful thing. Here is your warning. 'Do bad, and it will come full circle thrice'. Obviously the more ‘Scientific’ people will dismiss it as a way to control people, but are they as right as they think they are?
RELIGIONS
Well, lookie here, oh great, religion, we totally need that. Anyway, religion in Amaranth is just the same as in the modern world, still causing wars and death, and brings heaps of cr*p on eveyones heads. Just stay away from the cults, will you. You never know what'll happen.
JOBS
Jobs, give money, make money, die alone with heaps of money. So there are still jobs, but you won't need to have one, especially if you're a Thief or a Bandit or a Rogue or something. Anyway, here's the jobs you can have.
Blacksmith
Baker
Librarian
Scribe
Scholar
Militia
General
Goon
Hired Muscle
Spy
Assassin
Treasure Hunter
Priest
Priestess
Or you could just not have one and steal. Your choice.
TRAINERS
Yep, trainers. You cane either have really bad skills, or train to improve them by yourself, or go find a trainer. They'll measure your skills or abilities, then decide wether they'll train you or not, so yeah, just cross your fingers.
GIRLS
Teresa- The teacher of the dark arts and Necromancy, not very easy to find or get to mentor you.
Beatrice- Will beat you to a pulp, weapons trainer. Trains Generals or up.
Selene- Light magic trainer, really kind and nice. Trains Mages and Wizards.
Lucinda- She's smart, elegant and freakin' deadly, she's meant to be a Ninja or something. Trainer of Spies and other Government people.
Carmen- She's just a Thief, but she can train you better than Lucinda can, she'll teach you everything you need to successfully steal anything you want.
MALES
Judah- Teacher of Nature and Love, is well in touch with his personal side. Trains Preists.
Alexander- Battle hardened warrior, trains Berzerkers. Pretty much war machines here.
Jakob- Apprentice to Selene, trains you so that you can be the apprentice of Selene.
Balthazaar- Dark wizard, master of the Dark Arts. Trains Liches and Necromancers.
Shamael- Teacher of Scripture, teaches Scribes and Scholars.
Blargh, thats a lot of stuff, anyway, theres a lot more NPC's in this RP, you might meet all of them, you might meet none, ah well. I can't be bothered to put in any more stuff, so yeah.

Waking up he started coughing up the sand he had inhaled and rolled onto his back. His body was sore and he felt like he had just woken up from a nightmare. He sat up and looked around, what were they doing on a beach? "Hashana...Where are we?" Drake mutters seeing her nearby. He moved his hands behind him and leaned on them but pain rocketed through left hand, holding it up to his face he cringed. The cut he had inflicted on himself was swollen and clearly infected, sand was everywhere in the small laceration, he hated the beach.

The light passed and there was a brief darkness and the sound of water. Minako opened her eyes, her vision was blurry and her eyes burned; she rubbed them violently till she could see her surroundings “What, happened…?” She picked up her hand and the sand fell through her fingers. Minako looked around her; it seemed everyone else was there too, she exhaled she didn’t know what happened but she was happy she wasn’t alone.

'NO RECEPTION'
Lance looked around, and noticed the lack of civilisation, for which he was happy. He took off his shirt, and rushed to the water, yelling out in happiness, he was free... FREE!. He had no one to answer to now. He was so happy, he swam out as far as he dared. "Oh god, thank you! I'm FREE!!!. YAAAHHHOOOOO!!!" Lance was extremely excited, but then he realised something. He was slowly being swept outt from the shore, and he noticed where he was going. A massive whirlpool hd appeared behind him, and there was something inside it. "Wait, is that a... Kraken?". The monster lashed out across the water with it's tentacles, he went underwater, narowly avoiding it. He started swimming back to the shore. Coming first 7 years in a row in swimming carnivals was definitely going to pay off now. He swam as fast as he could, easily breaking the waves made by the giant beast, and rushed ahsore. He sat back on the sand, laughing. "Holy shit! We're in Narnia! Hahahahaha!"

“What, happened…?”
Hashana turned her head to Minako who was in the midst of recovering as well. "I'm not sure...... One minute we were in the Lab and then there was a blinding light and we were here." Hashana shuddered remembering how she had thought she had died, it was even worse then getting cut by Drake... Speaking of which...
Hashana strode up and quickly strode over to Drake who was still trying to recover and using her good arm she proceeded to sock him right in the face. She rather hoped it would give him a black eye. Immediately though she felt the repercussions of her action as a shock wave of pain and dizziness forced her to sit down again or risk falling over. "Control yourself Drake!" she managed to hoarsely yell out "Nothing justifies murder, certainly not that! LEARN TO CONTROL YOURSELF!... If you try that again, I will do worse then merely punching you." She was trying to speak from her knowledge of the subject though she wasn't sure if he got it but she needed to get that out of her system. "Thank you for bandaging me" she added just in case he lost it again. She forced herself to lay back down in the sand, she really needed to stay still for as long as she could, she could not lost much more blood. "Drake, there's alcohol in my first aid kit, clean your finger." She was pissed but she couldn't hate... She disliked Drake even more now but he was a friend of hers still. Perhaps she was too soft on him...but what else was she to do?

Hashana could see Red rushing to her side and stammering out questions, at least everyone was alright. "I'm fine I'm fine. It was an accident. I just need to lie down for awhile and watch for infection." Okay... perhaps that was an understatement, truth is it hurt like a bitch and she could use some serious pain killer and probably some stitches but she didn't want her friends to worry about her. Hashana lowered her voice so only Red could hear her. "Don't worry so much about me I'll survive, after all I have you all now" she smiled hoping to show her confidence "..... I actually could use some help Red. Later, once we get everything situated.... Could you help me stitch up?" Hashana was a little embarrassed to ask and a little scared, partly why she had asked Red to do it. She trusted Red and well..... she didn't want a guy doing it. Plus, she was still a little self conscious about the scars, the less people to see, the better.

"Is that.... is that a.... village!?". Lance rushed downstairs to tell the others, he got to the bottom of the stairs and leaned against the wall. "Guys, when the rain stops, we need to go West, to Serenia, which I suppose, is a town". Lance motioned to the stairs, and he climbed back up, and shouted out: "You can see it really well from here!".

Hashana stood up and walked into the back room with her backpack, this would pretty much use up her the rest of her first aid kit but with a town nearby she could refresh her supplies. She bent over to light the fireplace but as she was about to strike the match she felt something inside of her and without thinking she slowly reached out her hand to the wood in the fire place and it seemed to spring to life. Immediately afterward though she felt a rush of strength leave her and she stumbled but recovered and sat back down. Hashana stared at the fire amazed. Had she done that? No it was impossible, but she must have... Hashana shook her head, no it was impossible.
She laid out the required tools and stuck the needle close to the fire to cleanse it. "Okay Red, everything's ready" she said as she began to unwrap her bandages.
Red entered and helped her with them and as she got to the last blood stained bandages off. The rush of air stung but Hashana could bear it, this was a relatively normal wound for her anyways and she remembered having to do this herself. Still, it was a gruesome sight and blood still ran from the wound. Hashana laid down, her face a more then a little red. It wasn't her indecency though, she was actually fine with that, it was the scars.... "I'm ready Red..... please remember to clean it before you begin sewing though....." she doubted this was necessary but she wanted to add it anyways. "If.... If I start screaming don't stop, if I move to much, bring in the others and hold me down." She said it honestly but she had too. Memories and flashbacks have been brought on by pain before. It was possible for her to lose control of herself in this. After all, the last time she had to do this she had a sort of pain killer.
(I don't know but I might make her loose herself and have to be held down, she's getting stuck with a burning needle and an alcohol dipped rope with no pain killer. The last time she did this she had to make herself become very drunk to kill the pain. She does not have that help now.)

When red had finished and the wound had been sewn Hashana let out a sigh of relief and perhaps a bit of the pain she had kept locked up in her mouth. Hashana was quick to put fresh bandages on and threw the old ones, including her old shirt in the fire. She was forced to use up the ramaining strands of her bandage role, that normally depressing loss turned thankful that a town was nearby. After all, the bandage rolls were of good quality. "Thank you for your help Red, I'm glad your here with me."
Hashana returned to the other room where her friends and the rest of her stuff were and sat down on the floor. She went through her backpack and pulled out one of her books, it was a small book and a fiction about WW2 but it was very descriptive and contained lots of images and more importently maps. It did have a few world maps and though Hashana thought she was good at world geography she had never heard of Amaranth before. After quickly flipping through the maps in the book though she was disheartned to learn that Amaranth was not on a map. She had no idea where they were, either Amaranth was too small of a place during WW2 to matter or tey trully wern't home anymore. It was a scarry thought but not one she wanted to voice aloud.

yes she has a spare shirt in her backpack, she dosn't want to put it on until the bleeding stops.
Re: [OOC] Amaranth: The Dark Lands
anyways I am not sure what my theme song for Hashana will be, I used an archetype that I use pretty often for her design but she's different from usually, stronger and more determined. I'll have to find a new theme song for her. Also Drake, she doesn't hate you yet because she's thought you were a little crazy from the beginning, but she definitely misjudged you on your control and she will be pissed about it.
another point, The wound was never that dangerous, while it looked bad it missed all major arteries thanks to the knife ricocheting off her bone, but then again Hashana has always been lucky when it came to knife wound. I mean hell, the girl had a knife go through her eye and she managed to even keep her sight. You can't get much luckier with wounds then her.
Hashana's new Theme Song: (much better then the last one)
