Elemental Souls Recruiting (2/12) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=37082.msg465190#msg465190
« on: February 27, 2012, 07:42:19 pm »
In the beginning there was one.  This one was all powerful and created all the universe.  They gave it the eb and tide of the ocean.  The light that shined down from the sun.  The death that take all in time.  The sands of the unending deserts out waiting all.  The stone of the earth that we all stand on.  The green that that grows with every passing day.  The fire that burns through the blazing volcanoes.  the wind that caresses each of our families.  The random chances that make each of our days what we all live for.  The night that brings out the cool haunting moon that swirls all about us.  The unmovable stars in the sky where the souls of lightning reside.  Even the unstoppable pull of gravity containing us to our own reality.

Upon the creation of the world the Creator was happy but wanted a chance to share it with others so it was his will to pass away.  In doing so he created one more thing.  Humans, and with these humans he granted those few lucky humans the ability to balance the world.  Elementals, humans filled with the power to utalise the laws of creation.  But to each one was tied a harmonious element that rings true with its use.  At any given time there is only twelve elementalists in the world and with there passing a new one is born.  The laws of the universe are strong and resilient, but not always unyielding.  More is always learned in the world of ELEMENTS.

Characters are gauged on a scale of 1-10 one being a brand new character and a 10 being able to change the future of the world effortlessly.  All characters start out anywhere from Lv1-3.  Your level is decided by how well your character is thought out and written.  When you feel you have gotten to a point where you can advance another level you pm me and ill review your advancement and decide if you have gone up a level. 

It is not a easy thing.  You can not be a fire elemental and go from NF-w to NF-s with a three line post.  "I feel a fire inside and it flows out of my hands uncontrollably.  I burn the room around me and muster the strength to pull it in and control it with the force of my mind.  Spinning it in the air in front of me I create a ball of fire that i can throw accurately."

Learning something new comes with trials and errors.  Failure and strength comes with practice.  Just...remember that.

1)New Found-Weak    NF-w
2)New Found-Medium   NF-m
3)New Found-Strong   NF-s
4)Trained-Weak   T-w
5)Trained-Medium  T-m
6)Trained-Strong  T-s
7)Elite -Weak   E-w
8 )Elite-Medium  E-m
9)Elite -Strong  E-s
10)God  (Should be unbeatable so...)

(When combating a opponent who's Lv is one higher than yours the fight is hard but not impossible.  Two higher is extremely hard and you will most likely die but there is a small chance that you can win if not flee.  Three higher means that you are pretty much going to lose with the only chance of survival being that some one of a higher level is going to intervene on your behalf.   When you fight someone from another teir you enter a whole new level of strength.  Basically a new found strong fighting a trained weak are worlds apart.  The trained being taught and learned in how to use their ability a new found strong is weaker and too impulsive with their abilities.  A trained knows the ins and outs of the ability and is able to use it to their advantage.  The same is for the Trained string and the elite weak.  The differance is the Elite have hours of actual combat experiance and know what does and doesn't work.  Just treat tier differences as a additional +1 to their level.)

1 vs. 1 +0 normal fight, capable of wearing each other out.
3 vs. 4 +1 Hard fight over powered and out skilled
4 vs. 6 +2 Nearly impossible, overdone in nearly all abilities.
3 vs. 4 +2 Same as above

WORLD
The year is 2376.  Rifts have split open all around the planet and other worldly creatures have begun to walk the earth.  The world began to harried by the other worldly creatures in the 2030's and at first war was raging across the land reaking havok on everything.  collosal dragons flew over head destroying towns and burning building everywhere.  Mankind fought ferociously destroying and killing everything not native to the planet at first but soon the good and the bad began to filter apart and man started to build alliances with other planes.  Light mostly because they were trying to help fix the unbalance that the other worlds had brought in.  The dragons, said to be searching for something, fought over land and dominance but were eventually pushed back into the barren out-lands to wage their territorial wars. 

In the 2100's they became a part of life and were soon turned into a business just like every thing else in all of time.  Hunters were hired to kill the worst of the outlanders while others captured the creatures and turned them into beasts of burden.  Others were tasked with military purposes for assaults and defenses.  In the year 2189 a oracle was born and forsaw the birth of a group of children that would contain within them the bloodline of the creator and they would hold within them the ability to split the worlds back apart and restore the balance to the universe.  These children were said to have their respective elements come to them but the rest of the prophecy was lost in changes of the story from family to family.




Elemental Children Profiles
1)Name
2)Age-Race-Height
3)General Apperance
4)Personality
5)Skills (These have their own rating and are rated NF-w and up. These only represent skill and accuracy, not power)

 :gravity Marcus Dean Searnan :gravity   NF-w
2)20 years old -Korean- 5'10"

3)General Appearance: Standing at nearly six feet, Marcus' body build is fit and slender; his toned muscles obvious underneath foreign-caramel skin without bulging grotesquely and shoulders  only slightly wider than his hips making him efficient, balanced, and quick in reflexes. His ebony black hair grows in multiple directions with an odd texture not straight yet not curly, creating a messy mop which stands up and quite often hangs into his face. Matching his dark hair are his deep chocolate eyes with barely visible flecks of gold spread out at random and a scar on his right eyebrow, the combination making his glare quite intimidating the rare times it is seen. His hands and feet have acquired calluses making it visibly obvious how much he works with his hands and his skill at it. On his back left shoulder blade Marcus has a tribal tattoo symbolizing a wing constructed with smaller odd shapes, almost as though each different shape within the wing had its own meaning and tied together. He wears a simple gold ring tied with a leather strap around his neck almost always hidden under his clothing and a line of five earrings along his left ear.

4)Personality: The Civilian: For the most part, Marcus is a laid back character making it hard to provoke him into a fight without threatening someone’s life.  Spending most of his time relaxing and avoiding things he needs to do and procrastinates to a point of nearly getting himself into trouble with everything he does, this is especially true for his classes in college.  He isn’t big on fashion so he doesn’t buy things from the store very often but he is very impulsive when he does go shopping.  The Athlete: Marcus is competing in several sports on his college teams including football, tennis, track, baseball and wrestling.  None the less he is obviously very competitive and very much enjoys the pleasure of competition.  When he is in the heat of the sports he is lost in the pleasure of the fights and laughs sometimes when he should be howling in pain.  His favorite sport is the UFC wrestling that he had just gotten into.  He seems to just excel at it better than anything else he has tried.  His blows seem to carry more impact than any other competitor in the sports.  The Hero: Marcus has an insatiable urge to help those in danger, plowing into the fray completely disregarding the dangers.  Fights never slow him down and danger seems to only edge him on making him charge harder and faster almost to his definite downfall.

5)Skills- Martial Arts(NF-m), Gravity Abilities(Offense NF-w/Defense NF-w)

Gravity Rough Strength (All this is up to editing and is only for level to power comparisons)
1)NF-w   Push pull cup and knife (Struggling)
2)NF-m   Lift and throw a table
3)NF-s   Infuse inertia into fighting style
4)T-w   Stopping bullets, Fly
5)T-m   Blow through concrete Walls
6)T-s   Lift and throw a car
7)E-w   Uproot a house
8)E-m   Knock over a large building
9)E-s  Crush a large building
10)G   Atomic bomb scales



:air Celesol Ammara Glass :air NF-m
Gender: Female

Age-Race-Height: 25, Eunlaith, 5'7"

General Appearance: Angled facial shape and deep golden eyes and short, fluffy, sand-brown hair. Like all Eunlaith, long wings protruded from below the shoulders. The wings were of an albatross, long, white and flecked with brown.

Personality: Quite, calm, and a little shy around those who she isn't close to, but sarcastic and comfortable around friends and relations. Rather tomboyish and has a male mindset because of her many brothers. She has a burning curiosity for everything, and is always seeking adventure.

Abilities: Flight (Winged Defensive NF-m) Shock waves (Offensive NF-m/ Defensive NF-w)

Right now the story line will start out that we are all in a mixing pot city with tons of different races(Edit:I mean Asians, Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, All Other Races) and different ethnicity all over the place.  Everyone's abilities are all dormant and unstable but the "Government" seeks us out and injects us with a clear liquid.  This clear liquid is a elemental essence and upon being injected you pass out and wake up in your bed as if you had fallen asleep and just woke up. 

There will be a thread made for all the participants soon.

Edit: Base Race is humanoids, not dragons and such, and any acceptions will be have to be thought of case by case.  Also you can be a nonelemental and have your skill be all hand to hand (Or and modification there of) but your threat level can not be more than EL-w

Note: Make a thread with your name and the subject on it. 
     ex. Elemental Souls Marcus
A thread? You want each person who plays to create a thread solely for their character? Isn't that a bit... excessive?

Yes but it is because if every one uses a single thread then it will get over cluttered except for when we are writing between each other.  For now i guess that we could use one but after a few people get on we would have to use more of them.

Edit- We will use one thread for now and more if we grow.

It'd be simple to keep things uncluttered by fairly frequently editing the original post(s). But that can be discussed that when more people join, I suppose. Until then... can I be your first recruit?  :P Before I make a profile though I would like a little more detail on what I should be explaining (if that's not to much trouble.)
I'd also like to say
It is not a easy thing.  You can not be a fire elemental and go from NF-w to NF-s with a three line post.  "I feel a fire inside and it flows out of my hands uncontrollably.  I burn the room around me and muster the strength to pull it in and control it with the force of my mind.  Spinning it in the air in front of me I create a ball of fire that i can throw accuratly."

That I love ^this.^ Character development is my favorite thing about writing and I love that you are focusing on that.

Ugh god, I am so happy to find some one else like this.  I have this thing about having my characters earn what they have.  As for the Characters we can have a few good requirments...

1)Name
2)Age-Race-Height
3)General Apperance (Min. 1paragragh)
4)Personality (Min. 2paragragh)
5) (This one will be a little more difficult.  A list of abilities like GRAVITY:Push, Defensive shield, inertial punch, Gravitational Flight, blahblahblah...   This is so that anyone attempting to get a level up has a list of abilities that can be used as a gauge for their growth.)

What you think?  Up for sugestions, also what element?

Name:   :air Lunette De Celeste :air
Age: 21
Race: French but born and raised in America. Can not speak French.
Height: 5’7
Appearance:  Black thick rimmed glasses give Lunette a stern, older look than her actual age. Short spiky, slightly messy hair gives a tomboyish appearance, especially with her usual clothing choice being jeans, giving off a much more casual air. Her facial shape is slightly more angular than most, and her build is more like a washboard than an hourglass.
Personality: Since before she was born her father had been a lieutenant in the military, he was hardly ever at home, but he often brought back souvenirs form wherever he happened to be stationed. This gave Lunette a love of different cultures and places and she loves to explore. She also has a natural curiosity, which may lead to some sticky situations. Air is the element that naturally attracts her, as it involves flight and exploration.
Abilities: Wind wings (Winged Defensive NF-m) Shock waves (Offensive NF-m/ Defensive NF-w)

Yes a good explanation is somewhat called for because this was meant to be a world of humans being introduced to ELEMENTS.  So you can imagine my reasoning to wonder about the wings.

*doublefacepalm* I read through all your posts! I swear! ....I just forgot later...  :-X
  Eunlaith is a Gaelic word meaning 'feather' which can refer to any type of bird. The Eunlaith are bird-people who were of one race but have different varieties of wings and feather patterns, like real birds . I must apologize, I completely forgot about that in your post. When I come up with a different race, I'll change my original post.

Its cool, I didn't mean that you cant have wings, i ment it like....

Its a world controlled by humans, they are the dominant race and have been sheltered by the Government.  If you are a winged race it must be a secret race and if you are caught you will be on the news kind of thing.  If you want wings you can have it be that you developed the ability to sprout wings on comand after you have reached...i dunno Trained Level-weak?  What you think?

Now wonder I'm confused! I didn't realize we were in the modern world.  :P Your OP began with the creating of the world, so I just assumed it was fantasy.
