Introduction
From them came time , from them came the world , from them came the people , the beasts and the very balance of good and evil. One such god , tiny in power compared to the others took a aspect no one was expecting him to. He became the god of art. Not only did he bring this aspect to the already growing mortals and their lives , but he gave the gift in many forms. Music came from his every word , poetry from every passing step he took. Beautifull paintings and sketchs and drawings flowed from his fingers when ever they moved.
But with his powers came observation "What are the mortals doing with my gifts?" He asked himself , this unfortunately is what would lead to a event that starts our story. For you see , to observe a mortal a god must become mortal themselves. No fool was this god , to simply make himself mortal and leave his powers behind so he took them with him in a sence. He shattered his very being , turning each piece in to different items of his aspect and keeping the largest ;a massive paintbrush that could bring what it painted to life; for himself.
From there we traveled the world , looking , searching and often enjoying the many incarnations mortals had made with his gifts. The works he would never have come up with , the songs never sung , the poetry that would never have been written. For a time he was happy but in his bliss he made a mistake , he found a type of art he never anticipated. Dark in nature , songs meant to unease and scare , paintings of hellish demons and torture but the god realized these things had there place and in his haste to try out this new breed of art he created....'it'.
The beast. Formless in it's own way , a pure form of fear and darkness , everything that the god had not put in to his original arts , he made it to this one solid mass of tortured art. With it's creation came a hand , larger then a hut and scaled that came down with a sickening thwack and crushed the gods mortal body back in to nothingness. When it rose it took with it it's creators paint brush and with that brush it has created a army that has put most of the world in a vice grip of opression.
Thirty years now have passed in that time and much of the old history has been destroyed by the beast , in hopes that the mortals will come to see it and it alone as the only god available to the world. But there is hope. The other fragments , tho smaller then the paintbrush the beast holds still exist and they have found new masters and mistress's , they have taken form and with their mortal allies they will try to bring down the greatest monolith of darkness the world has ever seen
------------------------------------------------------------.
TIME AND TECH AND GOALS OH MY!
Time? Depends where you are really. The west dark lands and central plains are stuck in a sort of midevil time , tho their weapons tech is far more advanced then anywhere else in the world due to...well , killing each other constantly. The east desert while having alot more in the way of public tech (trains , communications , electricity) has little need for weapons as the desert itself often weeds out invading armies. The southern oceans play home to the merfolk who are reclusive but live in a very magic dominated society. Magic rules there and magic enforces said rule. To the north you have the mountains , not much there as far as anyone knows....then again no one really goes there.
As for the goal? Raise a army , go to war , beat back the evil , get the girl!.....or get killed and let the beast eat the world. Whoops.
Available Characters.
Aspects. (These are the pieces of the god that broke off when he became mortal. For instance a aspect of music might be a harp or one of poetry may simply be something symbolic , like a muse or some forbidden box that has inspired certain great works of poetry. They have human form and are ultimately bound to whatever human holds their true form.)
Aspect of music: Taken- Black Wolf.
Aspect of poetry: Open.
Aspect of ink: Taken- Me.
Aspect of charcoal: Open.
More to come if needed/suggested in OOC thread.
Chosen. (The mortals that have found the aspects true forms and keep those items safe. Their power comes from the aspects items themselves , such as with the example above for the aspect of music being a harp. Perhaps certain songs of notes cause elemental effects of heal. Who knows? be creative! On top of that they have complete controle over Aspects and as such a Aspect CANNOT refuse a order given by them while they are holding the Aspects true form towards them.)
Chosen of music: Reserved.
Chosen of Poetry: Open.
Chosen of ink: open.
Chosen of charcoal: Reserved.
More to come if needed/suggested in OOC thread.
The Generals. (Created by the beast to hunt down and destroy the history of the other gods and the Aspects of it's creator. They are easily as strong if not stronger then a single aspect each and as such are very feared.)
General one: Reserved.
General two: Open.
General three: Open.

(For Chosen their power comes from their aspects 'true form'. A true form is the item by which the aspect is bound , in the same way the beast is bound to his paintbrush the aspect of Ink is bound to a fountain pen. The power the item gives the chosen is up to you but giving it a relation to the item and aspect is always a plus. Be original!)

But still , that mattered little to Tillian. Thieves and ruffians were already warned to stay away from his fishing dock , the knocked out thieves that tried to take his catchs last time made a rather telling 'do not aproach' sign. With a yawn and a yank coming from his foot Tillian woke up , kicking his foot up and pulling a large tuna out of the water and maknig it land on a pile of others in a basket before smiling and lazily getting up , slinging his rod over his shoulder and cracking his neck from side to side with a grin. "That should do it for awhile. Can probably take a couple days off with this." Giving another yawn Tillian shook it off and picked up his basket with his free hand , stomping off his dock and back towards his little paradise farming village "Good thing too , all this works killin' my mood."
It would be a short walk before he reached the town and at his pace it would only take longer. Luckily he never really was in any kind of hurry.

In complete contrast to the filthy, men-infest castle, she emanated softness and grace. If it hadn't been for her blood-splattered dress and weapon, anyone that saw her would of thought she was lost. But no, she was the victor of the battle; she was the murderer, the one responsible for the death of the entire place. It had been her who had massacred countless men, but who also was not done yet. There were a few left, and they hid behind the door that she stood in front of.
Cecile extended her palm and rested it on the large wooden door before giving it a gentle push. She wasn't surprised when it didn't open, nor was she surprised when she heard the grunts of the men behind it as they summoned their strength to further barricade the entrance to the only room her bloody hands had yet to touch. Their efforts brought a smile to the lovely creature and also made her giggle, which undoubtedly sent a horrified shiver to the men.
"Shall I sing you a song?," Cecile murmured as she picked up her heavy staff with both hands and slammed one of the ends onto the stone floor. A wave of blue-violet light rippled the ground soon thereafter, introducing the beginning of her spell. It traveled underneath the door and continued its journey inside, which produced horrified screams of the unknown from all inside. Following suit was her seraphic voice that sung in latin words the phrases of agony. "I promise it'll make your dreams come true. It'll make you suffer, it'll make you beg, it'll make you bleed, and you'll do unspeakable things to yourself with your own hands. But that's the price you pay when you challenge me; that's the price you pay for not letting me in."
Beyond the door, everything Cecile had spoken of became reality. The nightmares the men had dreamed throughout their entire lives took a form and made their last minutes on Earth miserable. Their screams and their begs resonated the walls within the room, amplifying the torture. And blood escaped through the bottom of the door before everything was all over. "I wouldn't of been so cruel, had you let me in," she smiled.

A high pitched note that was off-key caught her attention.
The orient dressed woman distastefully glanced towards the ever stumbling girl, whose fingers kept missing a note, and Yue could tell that the girl was well aware of her displeasure. Her fan was put shut, irritation, although not shown on the woman's face but instead a calm smiling charade, was beginning to be poking at her nerves. "Yiko," she called the girl's name, and the music stopped, as the younger's head was turned towards the older. The girl, Yiko, laid in a corner, her instrument in tow, and her plain clothing contrasted to her surroundings, making her seem out of place. The girl twiddled with a strand of long brown hair, before had she nervously reply back. "Y-yes?"
Yue didn't seem to be as affected with fear as Yiko was though. "Your playing seems to be getting out of practice, hasn't it?" She tilted her head in a way of innocence and free spirit, which only further added anxiety to the smaller girl. "S-so it seems. I must be getting older, since my vision has become a bit blurry."
She sat back up in a straighter position slowly, "is that so?" Yue opened the fan again, and waved it towards her face once. "I see. It has been quite a journey for us both, hasn't it, Yiko?" The girl looked in frightened eyes, like the prey in the den of the predator. "Y-yes. Uhm, where are you going with this, Lady Qiyue?"
The girl sat still in almost shock, as she watched the elegant woman before her close the fan once more, and have a dark, cold glare headed her way. A smile crept up on the woman's graceful features, as her hands reached for her sword that was never too far away. She stood, and approached closer. Yiko had sunk back, instrument left, her back against a wooden wall, the bumps of the road steadily getting louder.
"You know.. I, and the rest of the world, don't have much use for ugly things that cannot play a simple melody."
The girl couldn't even scream, as Yue's eyes widened when she slashed the girl's throat, before it mended itself in painfully slow manner. "I think that this journey had gotten me hungry. Aren't you, Yiko?" A truly sadistic smile crossed her features, blood splatters had already splattered onto her cheek, as she took a finger to swipe it off and glancing at the beloved color of red that she truly yearned for. The blood on the wall decorated the pretty cloth occupying it. She watched the tears of the girl, as a pale red tattoo-like mark appeared on Yue's forehead; she continued watching as Yiko shriveled away to dust. Within the slow, agonizing seconds of her final moments, the girl finally let out a shriek, before becoming gone from this world.
Minutes passed, before the mark disappeared, and the sadistic smile made way for a laugh of entertained pleasure. "Ahh~ I suppose that I'm going to have to find another piece of entertainment to indulge into." At least she had a meal. Such a lovely carriage service this was, indeed.
Her eyes turned to the pile of dust that stood out from the beautiful fabrics in the carriage, Yiko's clothes left in a slump. The smile turned into a disgusted scowl, and she pulled out her fan once more, as if to hide her nose from an awful smell. Yue could feel the carriage come to a stop. The driver peeked through the cloth that served as a door. "We are here, miss."
She looked towards the young man, and let a deceivingly warm eyed look let through as she spoke. "Have we? I was getting restless," she walked her way out, bare feet hitting soft grass. Yue breathed in some air, as she looked over the view of some forest. There was supposedly a village ahead. As she walked, she stopped mid-step, and turned slightly. ".. Oh. Be sure to dispose of the mess inside. It's disgusting to look at." The man looked on in confusion.
As she walked away, slowly disappearing into the forest, sword and dagger tied to her waist. Yue smiled when she heard a terrified scream from the driver as she could imagine that he must've found the remains of her boredom. The enjoyable feeling of knowing how she loved to see the suffering of others coursed through her veins. Her skin tingled in excitement of what fun she could have with the humans up ahead.
She couldn't help but laugh in eager excitement.

Re: [OOC] Colors to fill the world.
what will happen if someone...for example...uhm...a general or another human steals an aspect...will they become...the chosen of said aspect and can command said aspect? or they can only order the aspect and don't become the aspect 's new chosen?... because you know...you said in the rp introduction that when the chosens hold the aspects' true forms...the aspects cannot refuse the orders given by the chosens...
and can an aspect recognize another aspect when they meet each other? are they like...brothers and sisters to each other? if they are, then does that mean the generals are also...somewhat...a part of the aspect family, too? 'cause you know, you wrote that the generals are kinda like the aspects...only with more power
