The Zodiac Braves
Long ago folks here had fancy technology.
Then they just up and left it all behind.
Later interlopers came and took your land.
Now it's time to fight for what's yours.
Leap into a gun-slinging wild west adventure
Long ago, There was once a primeval race which called itself the "Golden Tribe". They possessed many powers, including the ability to create Planets and see into the future. They created the race that was known "Silver Tribe", that are today called the Ancients. This race of beings lived alone on the planet, and was the first creation of the Golden Tribe. The Silver Tribe excelled in technology, and came in all different shapes and sizes, as well they had immense collasal power to their disposal, and they were the only beings, other than common fiends and animals to live on the earth at the time, but soon that would all change. The world began to change slowly, and the emotions of the Silver Tribe developed in such way that they felt that they were forced to rebel against the inferior Golden Tribe, who felt that they were greater than them, and that they did. A war broke out between the two, and the war lasted 100 years, up until the point where they equaled each other, and in the final battle, they had killed each other. They then dispersed into the air, and nothing was left, but the technology of the Silver Tribe, that had once exsisted, and no longer exsisted.
Then, humans were born into the spectrum of light, by a small seed known as the "Seed of Eden" which brought life to the world once more. There were many signs that battle had occurred, but this was a planet they would have no problem living, and developing on. They would call the world Filgaia, meaning 'New World' or 'New Terra'. The humans felt and had a strong belief that they had been born again through another means, and after developing the theory on what had occurred before, they felt as if they were the Silver and Gold tribe reincarnated into inferior beings, and that in this way they were forced to atone for their sins. Though some believed this, others believed that was a load of rubbish, and that they were just beings that were created through nature itself, as all other things are created. But still it did not matter how they felt about it, for they existed in harmony, and the had no problem with how they lived. Nothing was wrong, and all was well in the world that they called home. Nature seemed to help as they reconstructed the world to fit their needs. They would later be called the "Bronze Tribe"
Later, out of the blue, a race that were known for their supernatural abilities, otherwise known as "Iron Tribe", they seemed to rain down from the heavens, or otherwise the universe itself upon their world, and called it their home. They seemed almost exactly like humans, except they had supernatural abilities that were not at all normal. They all had different affinities, and different powers that made them unique, as well as a stunning tattoo on their bodies upon birth. They called themselves the higher ups of Humans, and that the humans had been born from them, but casted onto what they would call Earth. Everyone knew this was a load of rubbish, and when they came, they called themselves the Veruni, and began to rule over the Humans with their power, establish a world in which they could live in, above the humans. Some Veruni and Humans believed that one day they could exsist along side each other with no problems, while the others believed that the only solution was war.
Now, its time for the humans to rise to where they belong, and find out what's going on. Its time that the world is changed, and if human, that you get what was once yours, and what you rightfully deserve. Its time that you right back, and get what you know belongs to you. Or if you are a Veruni, its time that the humans learned where they belonged and they got back in their place. Its time that they are taught who are the true supremes of this world, and that it doesn't belong to them, but to you. Or if you are a true being, a pure hearted being, who in the end will rush for peace between the two races, you must make haste and do so, for another force is rising, controlling both sides behind the scenes. Become what you are meant and supposed to be, and gather with your brethren. The Zodiac Braves, must emerge and despite all odds, go against what's coming to them, and liberate the world of chaos that is about to ensue. Prepare for the greatest adventure that you have ever embarked on.

ARMs
Each human is equipped by what is called a ARM. Though allot of variations of the ARMs are guns, those are not the only variations that exist, for they are in a summary like a weapon. They can be a sword, or a gauntlet, a suit of armor, but the weirdest thing about them is, they are obtained by mining and digging the remains of the Silver Tribe's weapons, and their body parts, and using them in invoations that humans use today to fight, or use in creating cities or robots, structures of any kind, etc. These ARMs are most commonly used in this story that is to be told, for battling, and on the battle field. The Scriptures of Germonique, that was written by what seems to be a Silver Tribe Elder, describes themselves, in the scripture below.
ARMs otherwise known as Artificial Remaining Molecularities, come in all shapes and sizes, but all have or once had a specific purpose. Within the ARMs is a incredible life force behind them, that is unknown and impossible to describe with words, and only the right user can unlock and use the ARM to its full potential. Almost like another being exists within the ARMs.
Furthermore, the ARMs are capable of transforming and growing more powerful on a steady or unsteady scale. This is only possible if that being has found the perfect ARM to match him/her completely. This rarely happens, and is most often seen with the elders who have and still posses ARMs. [All of the Zodiac Braves that have a ARM, will have their ARM develop and grow.]
MARKs
These are the symbols that are on the bodies of the Veruni. These are said to stand for the being that exist within the Veruni, and the power that the particular Veruni is said to have. The MARK's can range from elemental, to necromancy, to chi powers, to any type of power on the scale or spectrum [So long as it is not godmodding]. These MARKs were said to have been given to them by the higher beings themselves, bestowed upon them as a gift of their obedience. The power also often matches the attitude that the particular person or character has. The MARKs in a summary is a excuse to have a specific power, or a range of powers. It is impossible to have more than one MARK, but it is possible for the MARK to grow, and with it, gain more power. The bigger MARKs tend to have more power than the smaller ones.
Scriptures of Germonique
This is said to have been scriptures recorded by the final Silver Tribe member to ever live. This was a summary on the events to have occurred, and the many things that existed in the world itself. The scriptures were soon in the hands of the Veruni, after being confiscated by them for the scriptures also told them of the future, and thus the Scriptures soon disappeared from the heads and the ears of any being on earth, never to be heard of again, by mainly anyone. They were known almost as if they were bible scriptures themselves, and when they disappeared, so did the disciples who followed the scriptures and followed the belief of reincarnation into humans, after previously being a Silver Tribe member belief.

Rules
A. I am expecting that we write as if we have sense, and use atleast basic forms of grammar and spelling:
1. No walls of text. Use proper forms of spacing and paragraphing.
2. Always try your best to spell, and get every word right. I recommend using spell check, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. For information on these Browsers and how to get them, simply ask.
3. No size altered text. This means I don't want to see extremely large or small text. If you do this, I will ignore your post.
4. If you use one color, use that same color throught the entire rp. I won't dis encourage this, since this can sometimes be helpful to tell who you are.
B. I am expecting that you will follow the basic rules that we go by here on Roleplaygateway:
1. Do not Godmode.
2. Do not Marry sue.
3. Do not Metagame unless nesscary.
4. No godmodding powers.
5. No trolling.
6. No OOC in the IC.
7. Please do not post and go back and forth between another person, leaving everyone behind. It is ok to post back and forth for a total of 5 posts each, before I ask that you wait on everyone else. But if we are split up into groups, then it is ok to post, until a certain point, that will always be specified.
C. I expect that everyone will be dedicated, and not abandon the roleplay, for everyone that joins is always important to the plot completely. This is part of making the roleplay fun, by having your character interact and become involved in the rp itself.
1. I ask that you post once a day, or once every two-three days unless you post with and excuse as to why you did not post.
2. I ask that you regularly check the OOC for information and for clarification on what's going on with me and others.
3. I ask that you please do not make anyone in here mortal enemies, for that is fatal to the rp.
4. Upon joining, you swear that you will set aside time just for this rp, or that you will remain committed.
5. You have read these rules, and at the bottom of your post you will put 'I Swear'
