Welcome to Gaia! ::

We are the Phares.
We are the air you breathe, the water you drink, the soil you cultivate.
At the dawn of Creation were we tasked to protect this world, to defend that which could not defend itself.
When the wind became too dense, we sent it to the seas.
When the seas swelled, we safeguarded the land.
When the land grew barren, we returned the seas.
In an eternity, in an age, in a moment. . .from our actions rose life.
As the races grew older, by our will did they learn how to care for the Potah, for nature, themselves.
We imbued ourselves into relics- staves, swords, wands, rings, necklaces- and had the races scatter us through out the land, ready for the day when we would be needed again.
We are timeless.
We are not accustomed to deception.
We erred.
The greatest of the Phares, imbued into what became known as the Sword of Truth, has gone missing.
Others of us have been tricked and deceived, destroying parts of the world that we worked so hard to cultivate, to bring life to.
But this must not be.
Those that are left of us must band together. The days of us spread across the globe must come to an end.
This world, that we have built, that we have made, is our home.
We must protect it.

You can either be a Phares or a normal person. A Phares can take physical form by manifesting, but they must wear the object in which they have sealed themselves on their person at ALL TIMES, or if it is a weapon and they use it as such, must never lose their grip on it.

Phares can either take human form or an animal form of their choice- in ancient times they were the basis for mythological creatures, for example when they chose to take the forms of gryphons, phoenixes, dragons, ect.

They are also aligned with a particular element- they have some control over all elements, but they have the most influence over the one they are aligned with and the least over the opposite of their alignment. For example- A Fire-aligned Phares would be able to summon up a torrent of fire from the sky in the blink of an eye, but he would have a hard time summoning a simple rainstorm.

Special Note: There are no 'evil' Phares. Those who fight on the side of evil are simply those who have been persuaded that the others, and that the races on the world, are somehow harming the Potah and want to preserve the world.

Name: Kouryou

Age: untold millions, since all Phares were created at the beginning of the World.

Phares or Human/Neko: Phares

Element: Earth

(Phares Only)Artifact Bound Into:

Appearance:

Bio: Kouryou is one of the most ancient Phares to walk the earth, literally- he was one of the original 5 who manifested physical form thousands of years ago, the very first being the Sword of Truth. He is wise and very kind, with a special place in his 'heart' for children and animals. He has tried to help bring other Phares back into the world and worked hard against those who think that he has turned against the Potah.

Other: The Greatsword he manifests from is always strapped to his back, and he only uses it in case of emergencies- more often he resorts to hand-to-hand or to smaller blades hidden in his boots.

Name: Amaya
Age: Unknown
Phares or Human/Neko: Phares
Element: spirit
(Phares Only)Artifact Bound Into:
Bio: Amaya has fought for the children of gaia before, however after the last time a great threat drained her of her powers and she was forced to enter her artifact and sleep for many years; unable to comfort those who have passed and give reassurance to those who were left behind. Once she was drained her dear friend took her artifact and wore it to keep her safe while she rested, unsure if Amaya would ever return from the artifact back into the physical world.
Appearance:

Other:
Her dear friend is Lunar, a wolf water spirit who has protected the earth for a long time. She is as old as the Phares herself and some rumor that she could be the water phares, however it seems she has a little too much spirit in her to be the water phares.

She usually wears this around her neck along with Amaya's necklace that she keeps safe.

*He blinke da bit as the shadow overtook the park, glancing up as a hand instinctivly moved toward his boot- all too often in the past a shadow had been a bad thing. He relaxed slightly as the shadow moved on, smiling softly at the little girl's words and standing , stretching slowly* "I wonder what that was all about..."

Lunar sighed as she landed on the side of a tall building. That was strange... The chain suddenly felt so heavy... Amaya? Are you gaining strength again? Do you exist once again? The white wingged wolf sighed some, looking down at the shiny cross that wasn't her own that hung next to her necklace.

Lunar sighed and laid down on the roof the wind rushing through her fur as she watched the little people running around below.

*He took to the sky, gradually soaring higher, and rotating slowly as he hovered on the updrafts that took him higher still without any intervention on his own part- blinkingin surprise as he spotted Lunar on the building, the greatsword from which he manifested humming softly for a few moments as he laid eyes on the angelic wolf*
Another of us?

"I wonder where she's going..." *he murmers to himself, tilting his head as he debated whether or not to follow her. As he mused he turned in the general direction of her flight, his broad wings flapping once ot keep himself aloft as he left the warm updrafts*

*There was a soft thump, ilke a landing, a short distance nearby, and the leathery sound of draconic wings being retracted. After that there were no sounds as he watched, tilting his head.* weakened? But by who?
