 The story of the Esprit is one shrouded in mystery, their past having fallen into obscurity. But as I traveled, I heard a story like this:
Long long ago, before time was even considered time, there were the Prismasia, an almost epic pantheon of gods and goddesses that ruled over a specific domain. With their powers, they created a world beautiful both to the eye and to the soul; one could not help but feel at peace when stepping into the god's garden. Their world was a perfect utopia, where creatures and creation lived freely without fear of death. But, perfection does not last, even in the hands of gods.
Each deity took the control of their domain seriously, so serious, in fact, that overstepping one's limits and crossing over into another god's domain was grounds for punishment. And so it began one day that two minor gods (domains unknown) began to quarrel over whether or not one of them had stepped into the other's domain when using his powers. Their inability to settle the problem on their own meant that the upper Prismasia must decide on the verdict. And this simple quarrel rocketed through the gods like wildfire, dividing the gods into two factions supporting either one of the two deities in question.
Their world rumbled as the gods fought, magical energy lingering on the air. It was at this time, a minor god of Creation, known only by the name of Nami, created a shroud of invisibility, trying to protect each and every living thing from the wrath of the gods. Collecting the magic in the air, Nami was able to create a small portal into another world. He herded every living creature through it (and threw in a couple plants for good measure) and when the portal finally closed, a sigh of relief escaped. There was still some hope for his creations.
Unbeknownst to him, however, the creatures of the gods were not able to withstand the strains of interdimensional travel. As their physical bodies began to fade away, their souls began to concentrate and formed crystals. The portal finally opened up into a new world, the crystals scattering in the wind.
And where they landed, they laid in wait, waiting for the day when they would reawaken.
Is this how they truly came to be?

 g e n e r a l - read everything on this page! there is both important info and backgrounds on this page. it could help you avoid the greylist and answer some of your questions ^^ - golden rule applies. please treat others the way you would like to be treated. respect is a two-way street~ - theft of any kind is prohibited/ any and everything in this shop is (c) to someone. whether it's the art ( (c) to oath ), the concept ( (c) to golden ), or the characters themselves ( (c) to their respective owners ). - co-owning is not allowed/ it gets too messy in my opinion to co-own a single RP-light pet. so it will only be allowed in special circumstances which are yet to be determined. - complaining = greylist. all the stages are pre-drawn and we're sorry about if the character doesn't match how you've developed them but complaining won't do anything but annoy us. - we don't bite! ;D please don't feel like you cannot post or you don't feel welcome. our doors are open to everyone so please stop in and say hi! we're nice, I swear <3
c o n t e s t - drama llamas belong in a corral, not in our thread please check the drama at the door, no complaining about the spirits offered, the winners, etc. it will not be tolerated and is an auto-blacklist - no discouraging others. this includes any shape or form to try and persuade/force others to stop from entering the contest. - follow directions! failure to follow directions can disqualify you from the competition! so please please please read the rules before posting your entry. usually there will be a thread in the guild or something where all the entries should be posted. - originality is key. please use your own work, characters, and ideas to write your entry. don't get someone else to write it for you~
a u c t i o n - please don't bid what you don't have. self-explanatory. - payment must be sent within 24 hours. please send trade immediately after winning. you may take as long as you'd like sending the info but trade must be sent immediately. - auction info will be posted on the front page. usually auctions will be for custom or powerful spirits and their info will be posted on the front page. - total up your bids! I R NOT TEH BEST @ MATH. - please price items at 90% tektek. self-explanatory. - only items accepted are items above 100k. too much hassle trying to sell items lower than that >.>;
r o l e p l a y - activity is loved <3 i don't ask for much in terms of growth but activity would be nice. maybe one journal post every month? if there has been no post/sign of you for 2 months+, we will inquire about a rehoming. - esprit stage and above are exempt from the activity rule. while activity is loved, if you've reached this stage you are exempt from the activity rule. think of it as thanks for all the hard work you've put into your character and the shop. - keep your character, writing, and overall style consistent please. while i do understand that an author's style is constantly changing, please try and keep your style consistent. after all, that could be one of the main reasons we picked you for that character. - please discuss plots/storylines with me beforehand. implementing a storyline that differs than that of the shop may cause your esprit to be caught in limbo. if we find something that is wrong, we can discuss it and maybe think of a new, better one together?
(( i know these rules may seem harsh, but we are nice people. really! <3 ))

 ◊ stage 1 ◊ The Silex
Invited into an elite society by the Keeper, you have been given a Silex. A Silex is more than just a simple stone or crystal. No, it is so much more.
Unawakened, an Esprit sprit lies within the confines of the Silex. A Silex's outer shell is extremely hard (thought to be tougher than diamonds) and can withstand any extremes in temperature or pressure without cracking. However, some Silex's have cracked under other circumstances. If a Silex is cracked, the Esprit spirit inside could be corrupted or considered "beyond awakening". Please be extremely careful to preserve your Silex as reasons of cracking are unknown.
To awaken the spirit within, it must absorb a soul from basically anything. Souls can be found almost anywhere, the way you capture one is completely up to you. Examples are capturing the soul of a pesky shadow, or absorbing life from a dying animal. Seriously, sould can be found anywhere and in anything.
---
◊ stage 2 ◊ The Awakening
The Esprit spirit within has finally awakened. An aura of color surrounds the crystal, making it known to the Awakener that the time has come for it to be reborn. An Awakening is an extremely complicated and intricate ritual that involves absorbing some of the Awakener's mana as well as using the soul it has absorbed. If an Awakener leaves an Awakened Silex for too long, the spirit inside shall become dormant once again.
---
◊ stage 3 ◊ Adolescent (≈6-7 years old)
Your Esprit has finally been summoned. Looks-wise, your Esprit will have some facets of it's soul but will ultimately look somewhat human. This is due to it's absorption of it's caretaker's mana. Also, it may have some small powers depending on it's soul but they are not able to control them. Adolescent Esprits can speak and understand human language but also have a mental connection with their Awakeners.
---
◊ stage 4 ◊ Esprit (≈17-21 years old) [ fin ]
Your Esprit has reached it's final(?) stage. They have matured both physically and mentally and are able to control their powers well. What they do from now on is completely up to you. Niam will happily offer them a job helping out with the upkeeping of the Garden and will help them learn more of their past and deal with their powers.
---
◊ stage 5 Entity (*can only be achieved through RP)
-to be filled in-
