Spoiler for Hidden:
Elemental Classification : False God
Used to a classify a group of 29 semi-deitic elementals. They are rumored to be -very- powerful.



Character/Event Information:
Spoiler for Hidden:
Notable NPCs (Elementals)
Mya (:air): Mya is the queen of the Land of Air. While she has relatively little power, she is a potent representative and very popular with the Air citizens. She is charming, abhors unnecessary violence, and considers her people before anything else when making decisions. (By Legit)

Zerath (:darkness): The elected ambassador of Darkness, Zerath is a well-known figure to the other nations. He is slender and of average height. He is extremely intelligent and pensive, never acting with haste or emotion. While some are wary of his cold, piercing blue eyes and silent demeanor, he has only good intentions for his allies and his people (By Legit).

Sorall (:fire): Lord Sorall leads the Land of Fire. He is large even for a Fire Elemental, bulking and powerful. He is hot-headed and vigorous, often blurting out what most others would keep secret, but he is a just and fair ruler. (By Legit)

Anima (:life): Princess Anima, age 4, is still too young to affect anything in the Elements world. Few have seen her except for her parents, palace caretakers and her pet Leaf Dragon, Flora. Anima is a gentle soul, and wants to help as much as she can.

Vitalia (:life): Vitalia, the Queen of Life, is a mother to her people. Her ability, Empathic Bond, allows her to see into the hearts of living beings around her and understand their feelings. One of the greatest healers on the planet, Vitalia is mainly responsible for why the Forest of Life flourishes in every season.

Vivor (:life): Vivor, often regarded as the least influential of the 12 leaders, is nevertheless a powerful man. He rules his kingdom wisely, and is respected by his people (he has reigned for the fourth longest period of time, second to the leaders of Etheria, the Chaos Realm, and the Desert of Time). He is known across the world for his perfect control of his ability, Adrenaline.

Lady 'Ammy' Amaterasu (:light) : The young queen of Light who has just started her reign.

King 'Heli' Helios (:light) : The young king of Light who has just started his reign. He appears to have connections with Dark Matter.

Eclipse Evanescence (:light) : A Light spy.

Hydrona ( :water ) : one of Aquarius's water nymphs and his favorite, is a business partner of Aquarius. She usually checks on the nymphs that send Aquarius alchemy potions to sell and the customers that buy them. She works hard to reduce Aquarius's prejudice and easily triggered rage and take his place when he refuses to meet others, for his sake as well as everyone else's.

Mobius (:water): Mobius is the unofficial "Frost Monarch", the strongest Elemental capable of Ice Magic alive. He is one of the most potent spellcasters in the world.

Notable Events
Nothing's happened yet.

Player Characters

 :entropy - Psyphoenix - Arum

Spoiler for Hidden:
Name: Psyphoenix
Element: Entropy
Description: A person who somehow confused time, changing it around his body. He is ageless, having lived for millennia. Parts of him are decomposed, steadily turning to dust, and yet, somehow, the time flux continues to make his skin"regenerate".
Background: Having been a permanent victim of the Blade of Discord, he has no memory except for the ones he has created himself.
Ability: The power to control each and everything that passes through an invisible sphere, only 1 1/2 feet at it's widest. Can also sometimes expand his sphere, but other players can control his dome if they are in it when he expands it. Also, his sphere is in a different reality, so if they die in the dome, they are transported to the different reality, but if they are simply hurt, and pull the hurt part out, it will be as if nothing had happened.
Item: A shard from the Blade of Discord, strapped to his hand, creating a knifelike punch.
Anything else: The character is based off Scarlet Witch, The Phoenix, The Living Mummy, and Psylocke from X-Men. XD
Also to clarify, he can be hurt and killed, the "regeneration" only affects the Time Flux.
:life:earth - thispersonisagenius - Ferocio Vivis
 
Spoiler for Hidden:
Name: Ferocio Vivis
Element: :life/ :earth
Description: Male, 14, 6'2" russet brown skin; heavy, muscular build; piercing green eyes; short mohawk hairstyle, stubbly beard; a wide band around the biceps of each arm, encrusted with the insignia of Earth; a flexible, dark green sleeveless shirt branded with the insignia of all elements with the insignia of life in the center; plain, brown pants, torn at the bottom
Background: Born into a royal lineage stretching back almost to the creation of Life, Ferocio's only wish is to life his life to the fullest. Though his relatives attempt to restrain him from being too wild, his inner passion is to be free. Will fight to the death with anything that dares to restrain him, and exudes power over all in his presence. Surprisingly fast, his pastime is roaming the forest with the most powerful beasts of all elements, strengthening himself and becoming the most powerful human he can be. Ferocio often acts before thinking, simply blasting through whatever stands in his way.
Ability: Adrenaline Rush (when angry or overly emotional, Ferocio grows to the size of a Steel Golem, and becomes physically almost impossible to overcome, however more emotionally and mentally unstable to the edge of insanity)
Item: Pulverizer (his weapon of choice, crafted by his more reserved uncle to maximize his power potential)
Notable Connections: Emperor Vivor of the Forest of Life (father), Empress Vitalia of the Forest of Life (mother), Prince Terro of the Earthen Mountains (good friend)
Response: Ferocio happened to be in one of his Adrenaline rages during both of the power surges, so unfortunately, he has not yet found out about the unknown force.

:light / :darkness Zblader - Lyra (Light) / Shaden (Darkness)
Spoiler for Lyra:
Name: Lyra

Element: Light

Description:
Short blonde hair, light skin,  6' 0"
Has heterochromia: One blue eye, one green eye
Female

Background: Hailing as a prodigy from the Light Academy of Sanctum Solaris, Lyra specializes in swordplay and usage of other elements, something rare in her kind. She has the aid of a strange spirit that possessed her when she was young and nearly resulted in her exile from :light.

Ability:
The Deck of Fools - A magical 'deck' composed of 52 cards and 4 suits (Spade,Club,Diamond,Heart) scattered throughout the world - these cards are easily usable as separate spells by mages but their real intent is to work with each other. Lyra and Shaden start off each knowing 1 card out of 52 at the beginning of their journey and may or may not acquire a full set of any suit.
Possess King Spade
A single sentence can start many stories.
Calls alternate persona Shaden to possess her.

Item:
Short Sword - Nothing spectacular, just your ordinary sword.
Spoiler for Shaden:
Name: Shaden

Element: Darkness

Description:
Dark hair, pale skin,  6' 0"
Fallen Angel (Spirit)
Male

Background: Shaden was an unfortunate Angel who had attempted to unify Light and Darkness by becoming a Fallen Angel. While accepted with open arms by Darkness, he was hunted down and killed by a group of Light zealots, but Lyra trapped his spirit before it could consumed by Death.  He remains bitter but willing to continue his research into an energy never seen before by Light or Darkness - one of a strange magic he calls Void.

Ability:
The Deck of Fools - See Lyra's entry.
Possess Queen Spade
If you only have the end of a book, start trying to make a beginning for it.
Forces Lyra to reassume control of her body.

Item:
None.

Anything else:
N/A

:time Coffeeditto - Coffee Pokegirl
Spoiler for Hidden:
Name: Coffee Pokegirl (Dracomageat will get this)
Element: Time  :time
Description: He is quite young at only 15, but is sent to fight. He has blue eyes, and usually wears an dark blue sweatshirt and some black sweat pants. He has bright green shoes and usually wears a camouflage hat. He has short hair but not quite a buzzcut, and is -sort of- skinny.
Background: He made his mother turn into a teenager when he was 8. His family has been known to be held accountable for things in short periods off time, making Coffee's ability quite useful.
Ability: Fate egg; one GM RNG's a random pet for him to have.
Item: Precognition. He can tell where someone is going next or what the opponent's move will be.
Anything else: Nope.

:time Drake_XIV - Karios Tempus
Spoiler for Hidden:
Name: Kairos Tempus
Element: Time :time
Description: Dark brown hair matted from the desert air and tanned skin, like leather, from working under the beating sun.  He is usually clothed in a simple linen garb, but carries himself with an air of nobility, an inherent pride that has not worn away with time.  He keeps a golden pendant around his neck with his family's seal.
Background: Heir to a forgotten nobility, Kairos has grown up in the Sands of Time, struggling in the desert just outside of the walls of Time's capital.  With whatever is left of his dignity, Kairos fights to regain his family's name, despite being the last of his bloodline and being merely a grunt in a growing group of bandits.  Unbeknownst to him, he has an inherent skill to reverse time without the assistance of Eternity due to his bloodline, but at the moment is unable to control that power, leaving him in more trouble whenever it accidentally goes off.
Ability: Eternity
Item: Procrastination [When it impacts an object, it is capable of delaying it and the space around it.]
Anything else:

 :water eaglgenes101 - Aquarius
Spoiler for Hidden:
Name: Aquarius (This is the name that he insists that everyone call him, his real name is something he hides)
Element: Water (With strong other affinities)
Description: A young man usually hidden away in a blue cloak (the clothing), but when he's not in it (like at home), it is obvious that he has short brown hair with a tiny amount of blue and blue eyes. He is friendly to elementals from the water alliance, less friendly to elementals from other alliances, and hostile to elementals that he deems insulting.
Background: Someone had the bright idea (sarcasm intended) to rape his grandmother, a water nymph, who then gave birth to his father because of this. Farther back, he sees several nonwater elementalists were some of his ancestors, making him partially other. He tries to keep it a secret, feeling it shaming him, but master precogers already know his history, partially because he defends it. He is strongly aligned by historical events, causing much of his prejudice. He wants to solve the problems he sees, and when he goes, he doesn't stop without a fight.
Ability: Nymph's tears- he can take a cup of his own tears and put it on at least 3 cubic meters of pillar to turn it into a nymph. Using less of either increases the risk that said nymph has something seriously wrong with her (missing body parts, frailty, that sort of thing). (Nymphs are NPCs, with attributes created by the GM)
Item: Giant collection of towers- he has a huge load of them, many of them collected from abandoned fields. He still feels that he's perpetually low on quanta.

Introduction
Power Surge

"Do you sense it?"

Rumble.....

"Ah, good... I wasn't sure if you were awake. It's impossible to hold the Calamity back any longer, is it?"

Rumble.....

"You want me to investigate?"

Rumble.....

"Very well. Be warned. I may 'stray' from your assignment."

Rumble.....

Quote from: The Writings of The Legit
In a secluded cellar near the Palace of Air, the leaders of three prominent nations met in secret to discuss an urgent problem. Urgent may be an understatement, for this malicious development threatened the well-being of the entire world. It was unexplainable, sudden, surprising.

It was an explosion of energy, origin unknown, that spread throughout the entire continent in less than three minutes. Every Elemental felt a sharp spike in energy, agitating and frightening. Magicians could not isolate its source nor dissect its components. It was an alien energy, an undiscovered source of power. This enigma was regarded as a magical anomaly and promptly ignored, as it had no lasting affect. All Elementals were assured that there was no danger whatsoever.

But then it struck again. This time, it set off a chain reaction of disturbances. Natural disasters of all kinds - Earthquakes in the mountains, sandstorms in the desert, hurricanes near Atlantis and the Land of Air. Every living being felt the wrath of this mysterious power. There was no ignoring its significance this time. Unrest was widespread, Elementals everywhere heard countless rumors of the nature of this phemomenon. Was it the result of a crazy magician's experiments? Was it a natural occurrance? Was it a celestial or otherworldly presence? Or was it something else altogether?

Many Elementals demanded explanation, but even the most skilled magicians could not decipher the source. Rulers comforted their people, ensuring them that investigation was underway and no harm would befall them. Queen Mya of the Air Elementals witnessed the strength of this energy and knew she had to protect her people. She organized a meeting with the nations Fire and Darkness - populated and integral, she knew together they would make a keen decision.

The three figures stood around a circular table in a tiny, dimly lit room underneath ground level. Mya was dressed in the light blue, ornate robes of her people. Lord Sorall, with a dominating presence, overshadowed his peers with his massive body, dressed in a loose shirt and shorts. Zerath, donning a casual, dark suit, distanced himself from the other two.

"I bet it was those damn Entropy Elementals. Always messing around with their chaotic energy..." Sorall muttered, shaking his head.

"It's not Entropy." Zerath, expressionless, whispered almost inaudibly.

"Oh yeah?" Sorall took a huge step to place his gigantic frame inches from the slim Darkness Elemental. Sorall was twice the size of Zerath, towering over him like a mountain dwarfs a hill. "And how you would you know that?" His booming voice echoed throughout the room.

Zerath was unfazed. He peered straight into his superior's eyes with an almost unnerving, piercing stare. "This is not the doing of elementals. This is a foreign, alien force." Zerath said coolly.

This only enraged Sorall further. The Lord of Fire escalated his voice, enough to cause tremors on the ground floor above. "How do you know so much it, then? Would you like to enlighten us?" The occupants of the small room could feel the slight temperature range.

"Enough!" Mya interjected. "We will have no bickering here. I did not summon you here to argue. We must focus on the issue at hand."

After a few tense moments of silence, Sorall backed off and sighed in surrender. "I have no leads. No information. Surely the magicians of a nation like, say, time, would know something about this.?" he stated.

"I have already contacted all the other nations, save for Entropy and Aether." Mya replied. "They also have no intelligence at this moment."

Sorall slowly paced the room, arms crossed. Zerath, still situated in the same spot of the room, was silent. He was deep in thought.

"Well, it's obvious that we should communicate with Entropy and Aether. But the Chaos Gate has been closed for a while now, and Aether...good luck breaking through that barrier around Etheria." the Sorall said.

"I have contact with Entropy. I will ask them for any information on the subject." Zerath replied.

Silence yet again overtook the room. Sorall stared suspiciously at Zerath for a moment, then quickly shifted his gaze and began pacing.

Mya spoke next. "The Gravity Elementals must have some way to get past the Dimensional Shield around Etheria..." she mused.

Sorall lit up. "Ah, yes! Last I heard they were developing Catapults that could bypass anything."

Mya nodded. "Excellent. I will send one of my men there. Can you send one of your soldiers to the Land of Gravity as well, Sorall? Those Aether Elementals have isolated themselves for too long."

The Fire Elemental smiled. "I can, m'lady."

"The time difference between the two outbreaks was roughly a week. We may have a few days before another power surge occurs to find some information. Let's hope we are successful." Mya concluded. "You know your duties. Together we can solve this mystery and protect our people. Meeting ajourned."

New Quest:
Investigate the Energy Surge

[I suppose I'll start this off. Cheers to a new start to the RP!]

ADRENALINE
Ferocio didn't like losing. He didn't like it at all. In fact, Ferocio despised losing so much that the very thought of it triggered his inhuman ability, Adrenaline. He had been racing a Forest Spirit - one of the fastest creatures, as it was light and had experience weaving through trees - to the center of the forest, a clearing where he often met with friends. The Spirit's ten-foot lead on Ferocio reduced to zero within the span of a second, and Ferocio leapt out in front. He loved this feeling, the rush of the woods in his ears, his feet light yet powerful on the forest floor, the whole world seeming to bend to his physical power.
ADRENALINE
Ferocio suddenly boosted to speeds that not even the fastest Crimson Dragon could match, destroying trees and shrubs in his path and scattering wildlife. He thundered through the forest so quickly that he couldn't control himself; it was only a few seconds before he tripped. What was that? he thought. I've never run like that before.

"Ferocio! Are you okay?"
"Yes, Dad, I'm fine." Emperor Vivor of the Kingdom of Life was a powerful man, but cared a little too much about his son.
"Just checking. We all felt some surge of energy go through us, and it doesn't help that you felt it while you were already filled with energy. I'm going to contact the other leaders about this."
"Okay. I'm going to the Hexacross, so I can see if any kingdom's acting suspicious. I don't trust those Death elementals."
"Sure, but be safe. You don't know what scary things could end your life out there."

[Note: the Hexacross is the meeting place of the Kingdoms of Light, Life, Death, Time, Earth and Gravity on the map. This is what I'm going to post for now, so that I know what everyone else is going to do. Also, should everyone PM ZBlader a description of the leader of their Element's empire (e.g. eaglgenes101 would PM about the Emperor of Water, or whatever he's called)?]

[I'd PM leader profiles as they're introduced - players don't necessarily have to introduce the leaders of the element they're wielding. In this case feel free to PM me/Zaealix with whatever profiles you want me to put in the Character board.

I'm not going to directly move Lyra yet until more players join. However, I will get some background stuff rolling. Added another quest, for those interested.]

Location : Luminaria - Light Capital - Inner Castle
Characters in this group : Lady Amaterasu :light | Eclipse Evanescence :light :darkness
Others :
Players Involved : Zblader


Spoiler for Hidden:
"My Queen, did you feel that?" The royal spy leaped to quickly catch Amaterasu, but the young queen righted herself very quickly.

"I'm fine, Eclipse." She replied.  "However, this surge concerns me. Where's Heli?"

"Still out on a negotiation with Darkness. No doubt this... 'development' has caused them to discuss the project further."

"I see...." Amaterasu nodded, then quickly took out a scroll, writing a quick and terse message on it. Taking out a Fractal scroll, she cast it on her message, motioning to a messenger to grab the messages that came out. "Issue these proclamations to the Houses. They need to be alerted and we must recruit Adventurers to investigate this surge."

"Yes, Milady." The messenger replied. "Any other orders?"

"The adventurers should take note of any other similar disturbances and report them back to Sage Lumiel by appropriate methods. Now, go."

As the messenger ran off, Eclipse heaved a deep sigh, then quickly took out a small mirror. It seemed to twinkle with a small spark of energy that quickly shifted between pairs of colors, from red and blue to white and black.

"Do you really think this is related to the Duality project?" He asked.

"Maybe, maybe not." The queen replied. "But we'll just have to make sure."

Location : Obsidian - Darkness Capital - Near the Edge of Town
Characters in this group : King Helios :light | 'Ambassador' :darkness | Dark Matter :light :gravity
Others :
Players Involved : Zblader


Spoiler for Hidden:
"Thank you for taking extra time to discuss the project with us." King Helios climbed onto his Pegasus, nodding to the female cloaked Ambassador before him. "We appreciate the cooperation you show with us, even in the new age."

"No problem." The Ambassador replied, the shadows concealing her smile. "You and Amaterasu have started your new reign well. Don't let it fall apart." As she withdrew, the shadows enveloped her.

"Alright." King Helios turned towards the impatient figure of Dark Matter. "So, was there as other reason to bring besides protecting you?"

"Not really. It's not like I had anything to fight against." Helios replied. "Dark Matter, I need you to help investigate this crisis."

"Oh, really? Where are Divine Glory and Lionheart at such as time?"

"Already investigating, but they can't cover the ground fast enough. I hope Ammy has already sent out the request for Adventurers. Can you try to contact the Oracle, too? Glory and Lionheart have lost their connection with him for some strange reason."

"Alright, kid. Don't overwhelm yourself, okay? It's only the beginning of your reign, anyway."

Character Update:
Descriptions of King Vivor, Queen Vitalia and Princess Anima are below:
  • Vivor, often regarded as the least influential of the 12 leaders, is nevertheless a powerful man. He rules his kingdom wisely, and is respected by his people (he has reigned for the fourth longest period of time, second to the leaders of Etheria, the Chaos Realm, and the Desert of Time). He is known across the world for his perfect control of his ability, Adrenaline.
  • Vitalia, the Queen of Life, is a mother to her people. Her ability, Empathic Bond, allows her to see into the hearts of living beings around her and understand their feelings. One of the greatest healers on the planet, Vitalia is mainly responsible for why the Forest of Life flourishes in every season.
  • Princess Anima, age 4, is still too young to affect anything in the Elements world. Few have seen her except for her parents, palace caretakers and her pet Leaf Dragon, Flora. Anima is a gentle soul, and wants to help as much as she can.
[Note that Princess Anima will be featured in a future post.]

[Oh, and Mobius, who I submitted, is not known as the leader of water. I'll get the leader of water together as I make my mind up.]

It was a strange morning. Only one of the 5 nymphs that usually visited his house in Atlantis during most mornings was here. As a man of serious business, Aquarius had managed to make his nymphs visit him every nonholiday weekday morning for the last several months. The two waited he rest of the morning for the latecomers, but none came.

At lunch, Aquarius told the water nymph that came, "Go contact the other nymphs and see what they are up to. Tell that I want to see them now."

The water nymph went off to find the other nymphs. An hour later, she came back to Aquarius, sad and dragging a corpse behind her. "They are dead."

Aquarius was stunned. Quickly, he dug through his mail for the newspaper. On the front of the newspaper was news of a Great Disturbance. Next, he quickly dug through a number of texts about history, mythology, and other topics in his living room. He only found a slight reference to a disturbance that he convinced himself was referring to something else.

After that, he asked the nymph watching him, "What about the other 3 that did not come?"

"I found them locked in their houses, tightly sealed in water that they couldn't breathe. They probably died by drowning."

Aquarius quickly swam to the basement to get supplies. "I'll find the source of the disturbance, and when I do, I'll find a way to remove it."

Description of Hydrona, the water nymph (Thanks for the recommendation!):
Spoiler for Hidden:
Hydrona, one of Aquarius's water nymphs and his favorite, is a business partner of Aquarius. She usually checks on the nymphs that send Aquarius alchemy potions to sell and the customers that buy them. She works hard to reduce Aquarius's prejudice and easily triggered rage and take his place when he refuses to meet others, for his sake as well as everyone else's.

[As far as that water Nymph's name, i've a few ideas: Serena, Hydrona, and last but not least, Oxica]
New Quest:
Halt of Alchemy?
If you are a  :water elemental
Something has severly impacted the stocks of alchemy merchants in the Frozen North, there are rumors that some non-water nymphs have perished by drowning.

The telephone rang. Hydrona ran for it like she did on all other days.

"Hello?"
"Hydrona, add 10 more luciferases to my order."
"I'm sorry, but Aquarius isn't ready to do business right now."
"Um. WHY? I thought--"
"Yes, I know the guarantee. But because of the great disturbance--"
"What? You're telling me that Aquarius shut off business because of a few dead suppliers?!"
"No, it's deeper than that. Aquarius wants to find this disturbance source and remove it so it won't disturb him again."
"Oh fine. But I want my order of luciferases ready as soon as he gets his [sarcasm] "noble quest" [/sarcasm] done."

Meanwhile, Aquarius managed to dig out ten bottles of nymph's tears and several towers.
"I'll get all this to the shore of the frozen north over a few trips. Can you watch over what I carry there?"

Did Zaealix approve you through PM?

Also, are you accepting the following edits he suggested?
Quote
After discussing with Zblader, here's more or less what the conditions on your 'Niddhog' will be.
1. Quintessence eating is out. That's more likly than not going to end up ludicrusly expensive.
Instead, you'll have to just 'send it hunting' for food. If a fight starts up, you can 'call' him, but he'll show up after a few turns.
2. Using 'Niddhog' when you're in a building will limit his abilities- he'll either end up having specific attack spots, like reaching a claw through a window, or lightning blast, or he might have to circle around if the local elementals freak out..
In short, he's awesome, but impractical as a general rule, be prepared to fend for yourself without him.
