Introduction
We are that smaller one in the middle. We are a neutral planet between Earth and Olympia, that means all races from both planets are not aloud to harm or kill each other on the Effect. You are also to fallow our laws, but you can also become a citizen of our world as well. We are a safe haven for half breads of any kind, as we are aware that many half breads are hated, and sickly.
This RP will take place in the city of Haven
This is the first city to be constructed on the Effect, and is our pride and joy. We are proud to say that this is our capital city. We do hope you enjoy your stay here.
The Races of Olympia/Earth (these are races that can be made)
Angels
Angle's all have a very minor ability to see five minutes into the future. Many of this things they see are not very important. Angle's are to have white wings of any size and a halo.
Demons
All demon's have the ability to cause minor bad luck. Demons can have horns, longer finger nails, leather wings or a tail, if so chosen. you may have a mix of them or just one or all if you so choose.
Merfolk
Many of us know or think we know that merpeople are viscous and drag people to their death by being sexy and alluring, but that is not the case. Only savage and out of the way merpeople actually kill humans, or did. Merpeople do not need a tail while on land, but scales of any colour must be seen on the skin some where. As merpeople are traditionally from the sea, a merperson has to bathe in salt water everyday
Sirens
They are generally female, though a male siren is extremely rare. Up until puberty, the sirenβs powers are uncontrollable β they canβt choose who they try to βsingβ to; thus, they are usually spotted because they have a huge group of friends and are liked by everyone. Once a siren hits puberty, or shortly thereafter, they have more control over their powers. Humans generally hate sirens because they have no way of fighting against the sirenβs call unless they drown out the βsongβ. A sirenβs powers are at their most powerful when they are in their young adult phase since that is the phase when one is most available to pass on their genetics. Their powers are limited, however, in the sense that they can only βcontrolβ two humans at a time
Werewolves
Werewolves have no control over their wolf form in any way. This is controlled by the lunar cycle. Often those that are werewolves don't remember the event's that happened in their wolf form. They also end up naked in strange places
Shapeshifters
Any animal can be there transformation, but only one animal form. Children are an exception because they have yet to hit puberty. Children can shift at will, but have no choice to what that form is. Animal form does not affect the human one.
Vampires
They don't sparkle, they are sensitive to the sun. They are only slightly stronger and heal slightly faster than humans. They can drink the blood of any race. No powers in the sun light
Harpies
These creatures are very well known in greek myth. Though we only ask of you to have wings on your character. Your character can also be any gender you see fit. Harpies of Olympia can fly and have any type of wing.
Nymphs
Nymph's are very alluring. Many, when fully grown, have long limbs and almost elven appearance. Nymph's are fairy creatures that dwell within there element, but for the sake of the RP they can carry something apart of there element with them so that they can walk around.
Dragons
Like shape shifters, they have two forms: their dragon form and their human form. The human form must have some sort of dragon-based deformity such as wings, horns, tail, claws, etc. Dragons can only be in their human form for short periods of time (as in no longer than 24 hours, and they must have 24 hours to recharge once they have used up their human form) in order to communicate. While in their dragon form, they can be a bit unpredictable with their powers which is why they often live in more remote areas. While in their dragon form, they are aware of their actions β the older the dragon is, the more control they have over their dragon form. in other words - if they're in their dragon form, they may not be able to control their powers and can be destructive, but regardless, they are aware of their actions
Humans
Humans are not all that special. Though very few have magical ability's, some can even become "immortal" though only with special cause and if GM can approve.
~Edit~
Pooka/PΓΊca
(I apologies for the picture, yes he has cat ears but I couldn't find a decent picture of any other animal....)
Pooka's are spirits that take on a humanistic form, no they are not dead they will never be dead it is just what they have lead humans to believe. Pooka's in human myth take on the from of a horse, goat or bunny. This is because their are only three clans of pooka's, one for each animal. Pooka's look to be human, but with animal features, and if they so wish they can take on the form of the animal from the clan they are from, but only for a short amount of time can they do this. Some times a pooka can be startled into their animal form. They still have the ability to talk. Most pooka's have the ability to turn into their "battle" forms, though most (even the warriors) choose not to because they have little control over this form, they also often don't remember what has happened after they come out of this form. It is also very big and often horrifying to look at and monster-ish.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 4 authors
"Lame." I drawled out the word, and shut of the TV. That did nothing to quite what was going on out side though. To many people calibrating a stupid mayor, it wasn't like he was a crowned king or anything. I looked over at the clock it was about 1 in the afternoon and this had been going on all day. Well more like 10 in the morning, but I didn't like to get up early or in the morning so I was just grumpy. Grumbling I scratched my stomach as I got off the couch in my spacious apartment, and into the kitchen. I opened the fridge.............. nothing. "Damn it, OI! JEREMY!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Jeremy was my unnecessary body guard that was posing as my roommate. Thing is he was human, a dead human, but human. I closed the fridge and opened up a cupboard that I kept the sea salt in. One box left... Yep. Time to go shopping... I grumbled to my self. I was a prince damn it all, I shouldn't have to go shopping.
"Damn it, OI! JEREMY!"
The call of his 'master' originated from the kitchen, oh yeah, he must of walked out there while Jeremy was thinking. But, he might as well head over to him.
"What is it, sir." Jeremy mumbled as he entered the kitchen, only to see his master grumbling over some sea salt. That stuff can be used for some good spells, or even energy storage. Although, being dead, Jeremy cannot utilise much spells unless they were simple necromancy. Maybe he could teach his much younger master.
"Yes, that is salt."
The setting changes from Haven Residences to The Effect
His master had already headed off to get ready, Jeremy doesn't sleep, so there is no need to get dressed or anything. Since he is always in the same clothes, unless he washes, but that normally results in limbs dropping off.
"So, we are going for a nice walk I guess."
The setting changes from The Effect to Haven Residences
"One suggests thy walk today, one wants to have a closer look at this new mayor." Jeremy added as he watched his master hunt for his keys.
"One doesn't see why thou doesn't run for mayor. Thou art a prince afterall, lead this place to prosperity."
Jeremy always had a strange way of speaking, being born and raised in the times of great magical prowess on earth and then living through the ages to a time where fairytales were real as aliens. Of course his speech would be mixed up with the modern means of communication.
The setting changes from Haven Residences to The Effect
"Fine we will walk, such a commoner thing to do though." I stormed over to the door to my apartment and opened it. "We will hit up the slums first and get you some fancy energy stones. Can't get toughs downtown, come on we will take the Memorial Park, a lot less people will be down there today." I grumbled. Stupid commoners.
And so, Jeremy opened the door and left first, keeping a lookout for any thugs which may be around. No matter where one can be, there will always be some asshole theif or whatever who wants your wallet. "'tis a nice thing to be walking in the fresh air. Slows down the decomposition process. It takes a large sum of energy to reattach a limb."
"Keep the talk about being undead to a minimum while in public dude. Not all people are going to like the fact that your dead, and walking and talking, oh and have a mind and will of your own." I shoved my hands in my pockets I started to trudge my way threw a crowd of people to make it to the Memorial Park entrance.
"My apologies, sir. One is bound to thee via a contract made by thy father. One cannot live with a mind and will of his own." Jeremy explained as he calmly walked next to his master.
There was soo many people around that day, more than usual because of the useless event which was taking place. People were bumping into Jeremy as he attempted to push through the crowd, preventing the same to happen to his master.
"'tis quite annoying to see these people all together. Makes one's instinct to kill try to take over..."
The two finally made it to the Memorial Park entrance, at this area was less people, which made life much easier for the two. Jeremy would have been lost if he wasn't with his master, he simply pays more attention to keeping an eye on the master instead of the environment.
"What is the temperature?" Jeremy asked, a bit confused as to why people were sweating when he felt soo cold. Well, of course he would, he has no sense of touch and therefore cannot feel any temperature except the coldness of his dead body."
The setting changes from The Effect to Haven Memorial Park
"Tis quite annoying to see these people all together. Makes one's instinct to kill try to take over..." I laughed at Jeremy's remark about crowds. I admit crowds weren't my thing ether. I was far to used to having the crowd part for me. With the help of Jeremy, I remained unscratched, as we entered Memorial Park. I like the fact that it wasn't all that busy down here. "What is the temperature?" I looked down at my wrist band, on the effect we called them C-bands, or clear-bands, it worked much like a cell phone, only it was much more less likely to give me cancer and so on. The temperature read 25 degrees celsius. No wonder I felt so tacky and gross, I was used to far colder temperatures. "25 degrees celsius." I grunted and made to wards the slums. I just might make a impromptu trip to the sports center and go swimming in that salt water pool they got.... or maybe not. They probably use that cheep shit that makes my skin itch.
Jeremy watched as his master looked at his wrist band, it was one of the technologies which responds to living nervous responses transmitted from the brain. Of course, no matter how much he wanted one, Jeremy was unable to use one. 25 degrees... That's a hot temperature, maybe. Back when he was alive, there were no means of measuring the temperature, but it's nice to know some things.
"Could one get some anti bacterial bodywash? One does not want one's skin to quickly fall apart, and it saves energy when there is less bacteria eating away at ones body."
The setting changes from Haven Memorial Park to The Effect
The two had reached the entrance to the slums, the gloomy look was quite inviting. If there was a way to break out of this contract, then Jeremy would definitely find refuge in this place. Maybe he could find some people who could improve his energy levels. Although, as his master said, it is a good place to visit for moonstones and other illegal stuff. Maybe there will be some cool enchanted stuff or something.
"Would thou need one to summon one's scythe? Five hours is the limit."
The setting changes from The Effect to Haven Slums
"You might want to pull it out, You know just to look intimidating."
"Sounds quite fun, sir."
With that, Jeremy held his arm out, his hand in the position as if it were holding something. A black pentagram quickly formed where the hand was at the center. Quickly, the pentagram copied itself into two, one moved upwards, the other downwards. This allowed the long metal handle to form, it was about 1.5 times bigger than Jeremy's body (Who was already at 6'3"). The blade of the scythe grew to about 3/4 times the size of his body. Once the scythe had been summoned, the pentagrams disintegrated into the air.
Jeremy then continued walking next to his master, holding his scythe upside down as he walked, ready to strike at anyone.
Glancing over to his master, Jeremy could see his energy had become disturbed, he was nervous, or even scared. Jeremy himself did not care, it's not like thugs could kill him anyway.

As she travelled down the quiet street, her turquoise skirts hovered above her aching feet and the dirty pavement, making Myra crave the solace of her tree and her natural state. She ran her fingers over her wooden earrings and fought the temptations to end her schedule there, but she knew her managing was not yet finished, and continued on. To her surprise, she saw an undead man reveal a large weapon on the street. There really isn't a need for that, these people don't want any more trouble then they are in. Myra knew this part of the city seemed dangerous, but shad travelled numerous nights alone through the slums and had yet to encounter a criminal. Overlooking the odd couplet, she wondered where they had come from. Myra certainly had never seen them before.
"I think putting that away might be a better idea. To much attention." I didn't feel like gaining anymore attention that I was getting in this place. It all ready made me feel uneasy. "Only pull it out when the fighting starts, if any starts." I scratched the left side of my neck where my scales where, stupid cheep salt. "Now lets go, I don't want to be here any longer then I need to be." I trudged off further into the slums.

"Now lets go, I don't want to be here any longer then I need to be." I trudged off further into the slums.
And now Jeremy is more pissed off than happy. He was told to waste his energy on summoning the scythe, and now it isn't needed? It's not like he can just whip it out when he pleases, he is dead! He can't spare that much energy.
"Sir, One cannot summon the scythe anymore, one has too little energy levels. If one removes the scythe now, it cannot be summoned until one gains more energy." Jeremy explained, speaking with a little hiss in his croaky, death like voice. He was obviously annoyed.
"Besides, One cannot reverse summon. Yet."
Myra directed her path toward the men and placed a sympathetic smile on her face, though she was more cautious than anything. Glancing down to her jewelry of petrified wood, she felt safer, and decided to let her hair down. After shaking her hair out, she stood a few feet away from the men and studied them. "Do you need help? Are you lost?" She particularly eyed the man until she smelled a hunt of salt. Raising her chin in a curious manner, she wondered if he may be a merman.
"Nah, not lost, but maybe you could tell me where I could get some moon stones. I'll be out of everyone's hair as soon as we get them." I gave a confident smirk. I crossed my fingers mentally in hopes that she would tell me so I would spend less time wandering around this place.

She continued walking toward the shop where the moonstones could be found and smiled toward the men. "If you follow me I'm sure you'll find them much faster. The merchant hides his store in an alley to keep wandering eyes away from his-" Myra nodded toward the undead man."-special customers. Anyway, I'm heading there also to buy jewelry for my ladies." Though many people didn't think of using moonstones as jewelry, she found them quite impressionable in the dark hours. Especially while hanging in the cleavage of one of her girls. No one could resist that type of glowing attention.
On evaluation, the woman seemed to have quite a large amount of energy. That's strange, normally it's great magicians with neutral affinities who had large amounts of energies. This is a place where there are many different races present, so it may not be a surprise if she was one of those 'aliens'.
"If you follow me I'm sure you'll find them much faster. The merchant hides his store in an alley to keep wandering eyes away from his-" Myra nodded toward the undead man."-special customers. Anyway, I'm heading there also to buy jewelry for my ladies."
It's up to Jeremy's master whether the two should follow her, but directing the term 'special customers' seemed a bit rude and insulting. Causing Jeremy to scowl a little as he lowered his guard and returned the scythe to one hand.
"Hey, why does't thee contain a large amount of energy? Is it that thou art not human?"
"Hey, why doesn't thee contain a large amount of energy? Is it that thou art not human?"
Myra raised an eyebrow toward him. Energy? I did have three cups of coffee this morning, and I finished my gallon of water. She wondered if the undead needed specific items to stay alive, a moonstone perhaps? Myra wasn't completely sure. "Well no, I am a nymph. I receive the brunt of my energy from the earth." She grinned, "Water and caffeine certainly helps when you're as busy as me though. Say, you're looking for moonstones...is that where you get your energy from? You see, I'm very interested in other races and I wonder about these things."
