Welcome to Gaia! ::

Races:

Jurain- Jurain's look and are very genetically similar to humans, with minor differences. (Jurain's tend to have odd colored hair or eyes; green hair, pink eyes, etc.) Jurian's are naturally good at magic, and do to their natural ties to it tend to have very long life spans. (exceeding 4,000 yrs: The magistrate of of the magic council is the perfect example. She looks like she's 9, she's roughly 1,245)
-jurain's can learn more then one form of magic

Human - Humans are rare, do to lack of space travel, but not non-existant. Humans are good at anything they put their heads to except magic, its common for a human only to be able to learn one type of magic and exceedingly rare for two kinds of magic. Humans tend to lean more towards gun, swords, and piloting ships. (humans rarely live past 80, however with jurain enhancements there liespan is increased to roughly 3,500 yrs) However enhancements take a long time to get used to (4 yrs)
-Humans can only learn one format of magic, because they are very flexible characters

Anima- The anima are essentially furries. (this is for you vox ^^v for those of you who dont know what this is; imagine a being who has verying degrees of animal or human qualities. Either nearly human but cat ears and funny eyes, or barely human like with fur all over and looking like a giant dog) Imagine any kind of mammal (dog, cat, mouse) now give it humaniod form and this is an anima. Their very handy with technology and have an extreme prefrance for swords and pilots.
-Anima are good with technology, and sword fighting

Promethan - A race created by machines. The Promethan tend to wear metal suits to protect their fragile bodies. Very similar to humans, except promethans are very exceptional at using guns and swords.
-Promethan's cannot use magic, but they make up for this with their ability to shoot and cut down the impossible.

Andriods - A machine who has a specific purpose; often times it is "To similuate life". Most andriods are used as mindless workers, but occasionally you'll run across one thats sentient and free. Andriods are very similar to humans (think ryoko from tenchi) but like promethan's, lack the ability to use magic.

((If needed I will add more later; suggestions will be taken and if their good enough will be added to this list))

Magic:
Magic has been an integral part of life for the Jurai, who are only happy to teach others of this ancient art. Dark magic however has long since been lost since the age of antiquity

(because of this, if anyone ignores this they will be insta-deleted for putting anything even resembling dark magic, and you can either leave or learn and remake your character).
((I'm tired of the stupid cliche's of "Flames of... dark magic!!!" or "Shadow magic" >.> so, no one gets dark magic, and dont even bother asking.))

-feel free to apply the magic types listed in combos or w/e as well as using it in creative ways to get what you need done. ((Ei. combining water and fire to create steam, boiling your enemy to death))


Fire based magic is primarily used for extreme combat. If nothing seems capable of killing it, kill it with fire.

- (water magic has 2 formats, unlike most other forms of magic. You can only learn one of the formats this applies to jurain's as well)

Format I
Water magic is often used to wash away your enemies or drown them in a torrent of maddening waves.

Format II
Ice magic can be devistating and life saving. Cut your enemies to shreds and cause hypothermia, or put a wounded ally into cryogenic sleep.


Lighting magic. Shoot beams of lighting into people and get something similar to bacon. Also, users of sky can fly.


More for defence then anything, used to encase the user in a suit of stone while they make a get-a-way; though modified versions have spikes that rocket out of the ground impaling any who get in the way.


This is commonly referred to by many as wuss-magic. It's used primarly for making people slightly faster, slightly stronger, and for healing those
who have been injured.
