Hello all, and welcome to whEN All OTher LiGhtS go OUT, a literate Kingdom Hearts ii Roleplay. Well...post KH ii, anyways. This is the first RP to be run by myself, and I look forward to roleplaying with all who apply! A warning: this RP won't be very light and fluffy, though there may be some comedy and romance. Welcome, and I bid you don't break your Heart.

From Far Away

Far from Destiny Island, on the edges of the universe, there is a world. It is a world whose surface is scarred and Heart is falling apart. Injured by a war started by their ancestors and ended by their parents, the children of this world know only pain, suffering, and the fact their parents are gone. Destroyed by a disease that targeted reproductively capable persons five years ago, their parents never realized the disease would end everything so quickly and brutally. They never knew it would end up killing countless teens as well as adults. The only ones left are the old women and the children. It is a world where children are raising children.

Though the disease is gone, it has left something far deadlier in its wake. The Echoes. Not quite Nobodies, they hold fragments of the Heart they once had. Their shells somewhat resemble who they were in life, though those of a similar type have similar features.
Fighting them is rough. Many children and women have died trying to protect themselves or others. The Heart of the world finally grew tired of it.

The Heart, Gaia, emerged, and began to gather the survivors into one place. She called her twin children, the Hearts of her sun (Sol) and her moon (Luna), and gave them a mission. "Find the Triad of Knight, Princess, and Guardian. The Knight and Guardian wield keys that can weaken the Echoes, and the Princess is full of the Light that shall set them free." So off went Sol and Luna, in search of the Triad. It was a year later they found them...and they certainly were not what Gaia thought they were.

The Triad

The Knight was a young man named Sora, now aged 19, who was married to the Princess, Kairi. Kairi, also 19, was pregnant. She and Sora had dropped out of high school with the birth of their first child, now three years of age. They lived with the Guardian, Riku, who is working on getting a dojo up and running. Although things are going bad, they have a Light behind the burdens...the Light of a hero that has survived.

After some talking and convincing, the three agreed to come along, Sora and Kairi's child in tow. And when they return, only a handful of Gaia's survivors are left. Now they're racing against the clock to get everyone ready for an assault on the Echoes.

(NOTE! This takes place 4 years after Kingdom Hearts 2, and five years after the disease struck Gaia.)

Rules

Literacy This is a literate RP. You must be able to post 2+ paragraphs, with decent, flowing sentences. Using 9-11 font, with no hard-to-read colors, also applies here. I will deal with a few spelling errors...but try to spell check your posts first.

Regularity I want to keep the story going, and so I am asking all of you to be available to post at least two times per week. I know we all have lives, but I would like this to last a lot longer then a week or two.

Characters You may play up to three characters! Don't God-Mod with them, and don't make them too good or too emo CONSTANTLY. You know what I mean, don't give me that teary face!

Romance We all know it, and we all love it. Please don't cyber -- It's SO against ToS, and is often tasteless nowadays. Also, we welcome all sexual orientations in this RP.

Profiles Please post all your profiles in the OOC thread. If you have read all the rules thus far, post from dreams or Angels at the bottom of your application.

OOC We have an OOC thread for a reason.

Fun That's the WHOLE point of an RP!

The World of Gaia

[ Map in Progress ]
The village of survivors is known as New Jerusalem. It is inhabited by 500 survivors, the count including old women and children. It is located in the middle of a dense evergreen forest, and about 100 miles to the north of New Jerusalem's northern border is the largest concentration of Echoes.

Rankings
Rankings in New Jerusalem are based on age, rather than merit.
0-5 years : Child | Children are not expected to do much other than play, grow, and learn how to interact with others in the village. Very few children of this age exist, and those that do are taken care of by the Grandmothers, rather than their far-too-young parents.
6-9 years : Novice | When a child is 6 years of age, they spend 2 months 'job shadowing' each of the six main 'professions'. After the end of the year, on their seventh birthday, they announce which path they shall pursue and are taken on as an apprentice by a Master.
10-12 : Journeyman | Even as a fighter, a child of this age is still considered a Journeyman. On their tenth birthday, they are introduced into a mixed program of practical training experiences and classes. For fighters and mystics, the tenth year is a year of VERY intense training. For others, the intense training does not come until their twelfth year.
13-15 : Master | The 'child' is no longer considered a child, but a young adult. At this age, the young adults join the rest of the village in doing their duties. For Bards and Scouts, an extra year of training is required, and Peacekeepers continue training throughout this time.
16+ : Elder | Only 5 Elders exist in New Jerusalem. Three are male, two are female. Currently, all Elders have a seat on the Council. They are also the 'Five-Star Generals' of New Jerusalem, and are some of its fiercest protectors.
55+ : Grandmother | The old women of the village. They are the matriarchs of New Jerusalem, and ensure that the children don't forget their roots, despite their new society.

Professions
Fighters : 11+ | The fighters are the main line of defense. They aren't all shock troops, however. Among the ranks of the fighters are archers, swordwielders, axewielders, gunners, and martial artists as well as your average pike and shield. They're a fairly rowdy lot, but are the most disciplined force you'll see in a fight. They're often paired with mystics, to balance things out.
Mystics : 11+ | The shamans, black mages, geomancers, and summoners of New Jerusalem. They are quite often quiet and contemplative, unlike their fighter counterparts, though mystics specializing in fire have been known to be just as rowdy as the fighters. Often paired with fighters to ensure balance and protection.
Healers : 13+ | Just as the name says, these are the healers of the village. They are also the defense casters, and maintain the shields around New Jerusalem. A calm, wise lot who don't mind getting into the thick of things. And do NOT mess with a healer's patient. They've been known to take a nearby crutch and shove the offender out quite painfully.
Bard : 14+ | The historians and storytellers of the village. Some spin tales of old, some are skilled with an instrument, others with their voice, and some have all of the talents. But no matter what...the bards are the life blood of New Jerusalem. They keep the spirit of the people alive.
Scouts : 14+ | These are the advance party. They patrol the forest surrounding New Jerusalem and watch the Echoes for any signs of attacking. Many a scout has lead a group of fighters and mystics to an Echo hidey-hole and just decimated them.
Peacekeepers : 15+ | The Judges. They are the ones who settle disputes, soothe hurt feelings, and generally watch over the harmony of New Jerusalem. They are also the ones who carry out any punishments decided by the Council. It's rare...but they have enforced banishments. The results of the returnees if they don't get permission to come back...is a bit gruesome. The peacekeepers are good at their job.

The Council
The Council consists of 30 people. Gaia, Luna, Sol, The Family Matriarch, The Battle Matriarch, the 5 Elders, 1 Master from each profession, 1 Journeyman from each profession, 1 Novice from each profession, and 2 Children (1 male, one female).

Names
The names of those under the age of 16 are often names they've chosen or names that describe them or nicknames they remember. Some of those 16+ also chose new names.

The Characters

The Major NPCs

Gaia - Mother Earth. The Heart of her world and the 'center' of New Jerusalem. She is the one who gathered together the survivors and helped them set up a new order. She's a very loving, caring Heart who views all of New Jerusalem as her children. However, she's also very stern when needed, and will fight with all she has to protect her people. Gaia does not forgive easily.

Luna - The Heart of Gaia's moon and the female twin. She's much more forgiving than her mother and brother, and is the one to shelter others under her wings. She's not much of a fighter, but she does have abilities that allow her to turn the tide for those fighting.

Sol - The Heart of Gaia's sun and the male twin. He's a strong, free-spirited person, with a habit of being far too honest. He's strict and short-tempered, but he really does care about his mother's people.

The Canons

Sora - The Knight. One of the three Keyblade Wielders.

Kairi - The Princess. A Princess of Heart with the potential to be a White Mage.

Riku - The Guardian. One of the three Keyblade Wielders.

The OCs

Nephilim (Taibreamh Aingeal) played by Ammy! O k a m i - The youngest of the five elders and a fierce protector of New Jerusalem.

Acantha (Thorei Siv'skadi) played by lurkindarkness - A Chaos Mage who cares more than she seems to, and paid a high price to survive.

The Echoes

There are fourteen types of Echoes, named after the seven Vices and Virtues.

Charity These Echoes all have pale yellow skin that gives off a glow like candlelight. Rarely seen without other Echoes, they are the healers.

Chastity These Echoes all have white skin and no pupils. From their back sprout white feathered wings that are slightly tattered, and they wield Light magic.

Diligence Echoes with wolf ears, tails, and dull claws rather than toenails and fingernails, these creatures are vicious, and won't stop attacking until their enemy is destroyed. They have a wolf form, as well.

Envy These Echoes are green skinned, with snakes for hair much like the Medusa of legend and snake-like fangs. Their bite is extremely poisonous, and the afflicted must be healed immediately if they are to survive.

Forgiveness These Echoes are often considered the most dangerous. Appearing like gentle parents with deep blue eyes, they have voices like sirens and can make someone forget about the war. And then the victim is killed by the Wrath Echo hiding.

Greed Golden skinned and silver haired, with eyes like precious gems, these Echoes are cunning and shrewd. They prefer to get their hands on things, and are fierce hand-to-hand fighter.

Gluttony Seemingly heavy set and rotund, these Echoes are actually very quick. Their skin is grey, with vein marks, and they actually eat things to heal! They can also spit a corrosive acid at their enemies.

Humility The muscles of the Echoes. These creatures have black eyes and dark skin, and are built for heavy lifting. Often found with Pride Echoes.

Kindness These Echoes have pale yellow skin and sharp claws, with a mongoose made of shadows ever at their side. They are the ones that will turn you to stone if their claws scratch you.

Lust These Echoes have black skin, draconic wings, horns curling back from their temples, and a long, whip-like tail. They are the black mages of the Echoes.

Pride The strategists of the Echoes have white eyes and silver skin. They are frail looking, and resemble a smug little child.

Sloth Cat eared, tailed, and clawed, these lazy Echoes are deadly when roused. They also have a cat form.

Temperance These grey skinned, willowy Echoes have webbed hands and feet, and are master water magicians.

Wrath Red eyed, violent looking Echoes who often follow Forgiveness Echoes. They are skilled at back attacks, and often sneak in the shadows without being seen.
