What about this, for a conflict?

The Underworld (from the early Wars) created a giant crystal used to grant extra powers. It got blasted to pieces (the twelve Shards) to prevent them from taking over the world. Now that the Underworld no longer exists, some people want to put the crystal together, and others want to stop them. Both have their reasons- the crystal itself wasn't a weapon, and could bring about good things, but it gave frightful amounts of power to people near it, dangerous in the wrong hands.

Name:Ireidia Maxsus
Element:
description: Short Purple hair-a few shades darker than 'tanned' skin, 8.5 (gravity elementals I imagine to usually be some of the biggest around, to better match their creatures..), wears glasses to correct vision.
Background: Ireidia is a young Gravity warrior, with only six months of experience under her belt. She's more or less had an ordinary life, although she's always had an interest in some of the 'unusual' gravity powers, as her fellow gravity elementals would describe it.
Abilities: Black Hole- A strange ability not often used by gravity elementals, Ireidia can temporarily 'pull' the magic out of an area into herself, healing her injuries (If she has any.)
Other: Ireidia is in possession of a Titan, however she has yet to master it's full potenial.

After thinking about it, I like the idea of a new magic/new element that threatens the well-being and security of the world. The source of this new power and those who experiment with it are unknown, and it causes tension between certain nations. It soon becomes widespread and affects every elemental in the world, instating panic and fear. Many groups are formed: embracers of this new magic, opposers who are scared of its destructive nature, investigators, observers, etc.

Player response: How do you react to this phenomenon, how will you react to certain events that this new magic causes, stuff like that.

Any thoughts on this?

I also finalized the nation descriptions, so if no one has any objections I can start this very soon.

Iredia-Investigative, curious to figure out the properties and any possible functions of this new magic.

So I guess we're going in blind eh? Works for me!

[ZephyrPhantom]

Updated Lyra/Shaden's ability a bit.

Player response: How do you react to this phenomenon, how will you react to certain events that this new magic causes, stuff like that.

As Shaden was researching 'Void', I suppose he'd show natural interest in the presence of new and unfamiliar element(s). The more variants/individual new elements, the better for him.

Lyra's reaction would be one of fear and curiousity - since she studied the mixing of new elements, she'd probably be interested in seeing how elements 'mix' with the new one, though she'd probably be worried about going too far and triggering something dangerous (or just raining down a bunch of angry mages on her).

Kairos wouldn't really care.  The way I'm seeing it, he would be oblivious until his crew got recruited for some gruntwork in overthrowing Time or something.  And as his mastery of time itself grows, he'd just stubbornly press on, determined to make his own future.  Ironically.

Looks interesting. Lemme sign up.

Name: Renato Feng

Element tiny amount of ?

Description: A rather bookish fellow with long dark hair that sometimes covers his eyes. Has glasses (I'll assume these are allowed ) from reading too much. His mother was an air elemental, while his father was a death elemental that disappeared. Hasn't explored too much, but has read plenty of books and gathered a lot of knowledge. Farthest he has gone was to the desert of time  to study some of their ancient texts.

Ability: Has quite a lot of knowledge, but not much practical experience. Has a flesh spider as a pet and is pretty strong.

Item: Sword left by his father.

Reaction: Not really shocked, looking at it from a more calm point of view. Would like to learn more about this new phenomenon, as well as get some actual experience.

You four are cleared to post.

[ddevans96]

Name: Bhever Raine

Elements: (distant ancestry)

Description:
Male, 19 years. ~5'10, ~150 pounds
Pale skin, down-spiked brown hair, teal eyes.
Swift and intelligent, but mediocre physical strength.
Loyal and caring, but often distant.

Abilities:
Water Control: Can change the state of water and water-based materials. Can absorb and then redirect water.

Items:
Caltrops: I'm keeping these from Special Powers. Consider this one Salestor's descendant.
Magic Wristband: Enhances water control and strengthens body tissue.

Response:
Uses certain forms of the magic but will not use it to harm those who have not harmed him with it. Would like to see the magic limited to those who can use it, including limiting himself if he does not prove himself worth of using it.


Is good?

Here's mine:

Name: Astasia [Annoctatio]
Element: 
Description:
Female, 16, 5'13
Pale skin; slight freckles on her nose; long, dark, wavy hair, violet eyes, quite pretty. She had a crush on the popular, over-arrogant Fire elemental who had moved to the Land of Darkness to spend time with his cousins. However, when she learnt of the Fire Lord's deed, she blanked him, just when he was starting to take notice of her.
Background:
She is slightly reserved, as both her parents died when she was 3. She was raised by her grandmother, an elemental, forced to hide her race due to the scorn of the Aether Nation throughout the Land of Darkness. She taught Astasia how to survive, and also many secrets of the Aether nation. Astasia's grandmother finds joy in the girl, though she is disappointed that Astasia's anger and determination can sometimes cloud her judgement.
When she turned 15, her grandmother admitted to her that her parents did not die of a virus, they were in fact killed by the Fire Lord Sorall in one of his rages. Horrified by this, Astasia became hostile towards the Fire Nation, and would not accept any of there help when the Fire trainers came to town. As there is now a large gap in her training, her grandmother has sent her off to the Dead Marshes to train. ("If anyone can get in, it's you.")
Abilities:
Cloak. She can disguise herself well when necessary.
Item: Vampire Dagger. Why create a ruckus when one can just slip a dagger through their ribs and draw on their power?
Response to the magic thingy:
Astasia isn't really bothered by world events, she is more focused on the task she has assigned herself. However, if she was able to get involved and make a difference in this situation, she would.

I removed the revenge thingy. Is it okay now?

Here's my application thing:
Name: Ferocio Vivis
Element: /
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. Due to his physical dominance, Ferocio attracts the attention of many girls, though he has eyes for only one: Princess Gaea of the Earthen Mountains, who he has long been friends with since they met at the edges of their own empires. The two often meet up in small areas of each others' lands to discuss matters in the world, and have the occasional romantic moment.
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), Princess Gaea of the Earthen Mountains (love interest)
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.
This looks to be SUPER fun. The other characters seem awesome too.
