Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dyrkyrokrx.

A city of ice, of cold perfection. Fantastic beings, called Martyrrs by their opponents, inhabit this city. The greatest of all Martyrrs, the mythical King Odeteron and his beautiful Queen Aia rule the great city with justice and wisdom. However, something unnatural disturbs the legendary balance of all things in Dyrkyrokrx. Minds are being lost to a strange force known only as 'The Darkness', a creature which blacks out the mind and fills it with new, fiery ideas that jeopardize the perfection of the city.
Oh despair! King Odeteron has fallen to the strange illness. He abandons his kingdom and runs to create his own, dark city. Those fallen to the Darkness follow him faithfully. These 'Victims' have banded together in an attempt to overthrow the reign of Queen Aia. But, just as the Army of Victims grows, so does the Ice Warrior Clan, those devoted to protecting their magical kingdom.

Many millenia pass, and the earth has evolved. You awake one morning from a strange dream of people living in cities of ice, and fiery demons who have nothing more in mind but to eradicate them. You feel a strange pull to this story, and slowly begin to realize that those strange powers you have always seemed to posses make sense. You choose to help, but... which side will you choose to align yourself with?

Army of Victims - Your mind has just been taken over by The Darkness. Your greatest joy comes from serving the Dark Lord, the strange voice inside of your mind that seems to accompany you wherever you go. As you are a descendant of the legendary Victims of the ice city, you find yourself blessed with the power to melt the ice people with the fire you build inside of you. Your base lies in Retro City.

Ice Warriors - Your love of water and ice evices you to be a child of those who stayed faithful to Dyrkyrokrx. Your heart is true and just, but you fear the fire more than anything else. Your ultimate goal is to avenge the death of your ancestors by killing all the Victims and taking out the Dark Lord once and for all. Strange whisperings from the beyond guide you on your quest to Crystal Piers... the congregating point for all Ice Warriors.

Human - You were born into Crystal Piers or Retro City, without powers or any other sort of defense. All you can do is serve the superiors or try to escape with your life. That, or try to win the favor of a superior, in hopes of being enlisted into the city's army.

Username: MitashiUchiha16
Name: Holly M.
Age: 20
Alliance: Ice Warriors
Powers: She is a member of the Crest. Her powers include, but are not limited to, the ability to freeze the water in your blood and your brain, the control of your bodily fluids, hence, your muscles, and the power to summon enourmous water beasts in battle.
Personality: Holly is probably the closest thing to Gianna B that there is. Indifferent, calculating, and precise, she never falters be it under pressure, or anything else. She hates it when people make mistakes, but is willing to help if she sees that you are overwhelmed. Despite her direct relation to Gianna (they are distant cousins), she can be very friendly to lower class members and places a great importance on respect for your superiors.
Bio: When she was born, they say a glass of water shattered next to her. And she has used people's fear of her to get ahead in life. Her anger attacks have brought down levys and flooded villages, so as a child she was thought to be descended from the devil himself. Gianna got word of this and had her shipped to Crystal Piers, where it was discovered that they were distant relatives. This helped Holly become an elite member of the Ouroboros Society.
Other Info: Holly DESPISES Christmas. And yes, is is because of her name.

He has no feelings, although he is a well-manicured gentleman and a favorite amongst the ladies, for a reason that is unknown to him. Very loyal, he's a valuable addition to Retro City's secret society.
Bio: Born and raised in Retro City, Aaron was a Youth member since childhood. Very serious about his career, he aims to become one of the most prestigious members of the Aged by killing the next best thing besides the untouchable Gianna... in other words, he's Holly M's biggest problem.
Other Info: Aaron is driven a lot by the idea of a happily ever after. In other words, once he's yours... he's yours forever. That presents a problem considering he's starting to feel an unnatural attraction to... Holly?!? He denies his feelings because he cares about his career, but...

Aside from his studies, Auris has always been free to do what he wants to. (This mostly involves running around doing favors and writing to his friend, Ever Blaize) After waking up from a dream of Dyrkyrokrx from long ago, Auris has decided to trek to Crystal Piers to see what he can do to help.

Username: Epic Irony
Name: Kaine
Age: Unknown
Alliance: Army of Victims
Powers: He can quite literally start and manipulate fires with nothing but a thought or a gesture.
Personality: Silent, cruel, unforgiving, unloving... Unfeeling. He cares for nobody, feels for nothing. Save the Dark Lord, the whispering companion always by his side.
Bio: Kaine was one of the first to 'fall' to the Darkness... And was one of the first to learn of its true glory and power. When, to his joy, the king followed... Why, there was no other sensible thing to do than follow and serve. And in doing so he earned his rightful place by his kingship, and lived on with him through the ages. Even now he is one of the king's loyal council, although he prefers more to get results without relying on inexperienced soldiers. He's a general, you see. After proving himself capable of great feats of strength and skill, he earned the status of Immortal by being so; he was, after all, one of the first to turn. Now he trains them for the war that is upon them; and when the times come, he leads them into battle himself.
Other info: He delights in the shattering of souls. If given a choice to kill someone, or let them live a hollow mockery of a life... He'd pick the second and watch with glee as they did his dirty work for him.

"Are we there yet?" Auris walked alongside Wyntir, keeping pace with the older man.

Wyntir pulled a map out of his pocket and stopped to check their location. "Almost."

He scrutinized his mentor. They were well-dressed enough, he thought. They were in travelers clothes, but they carried remarkably little gear. Aside from a small pack on each of their backs, they seemed empty-handed. Like hobos, But each also carried a small trinket into which was an entire library of books and research papers was stored.

Castor and Pollux rested on Auris's head, tired after an entire morning of flying. They bobbed up and down as he walked, chirping away at each other. Mute, Wyntir's pixie, was curled up in Wyntir's bag, asleep and quiet for once.

"There you go," Wyntir noted as they came over another hill and arrived in Crystal Piers. "What about you go run off and do what you wanted and I'll go find us a place to stay?"

They parted company unceremoniously, Auris now without his backpack even.
Where we going now where we going now? his birds chittered, communicating via a mental link.
There. He pointed at main building of the Ouroboros Society and headed there in a brisk walk, taking in the city sights as he walked.

Finally he reached the building and let himself into the lobby. It was empty and he did not see any signs directing him anywhere so he simply wandered, boots clicking lightly against the floor. He stared upwards, examining the golden fixtures. "Hello? Anyone here?"

"Oh! Good afternoon m'am!" Auris said politely, looking up at the lady who had just come into view. "I was um, just looking around? And I was wondering if I could help? With um.. he trailed off, lost as to how he was supposed to say he was looking to help with a war when everything he'd seen indicated there wasn't a war.

"I had a dream about a city of ice being run over by a bunch of fiery creatures," he explained bluntly, hoping he didn't sound like a fool as he said it. "And even though I can't fight really well, I'd like to help with anything I can."

She didn't call me a moron! Auris followed her quietly and sat when indicated to. She seemed nice enough, he decided quietly. Castor and Pollux abandoned his head and perched on his chair, their heads craning to see every detail of the room.

"I'm called Auris, m'am. Auris Wyn. I travel with my teacher, and I don't know much about the place but I'm learning..." he was quiet then, just watching the lady before him. To him, she seemed to radiate authority of some sort and he dared not say a cross word--not that he would anyways, but he was careful. He sat straight, feet flat on the ground and hands folded neatly, like he had been taught. Ouroboros Society. Wyntir mentioned it on the way here....I think I've got the right place.

((Retsu, the only way to become an Ice Warrior is to join the OS. Anyone who is not OS is not involved in their affairs. And you're not being rude at all! smile I welcome all members. Btw, to anyone else reading this post, WE NEED VICTIMS!! Multiple RP charries allowed. -Mitashi))

"Well Mister Auris Wyn," Holly replied, smiling. "I'm glad to see that you have found your way to the Ouroboros Society. First off, I should tell you that your dreams are wonderful things. It means that you are reconnecting with parts of yourself that many people will deny exist. And secondly..." she continued, leaning over her desk towards him. She winked. "It means you're special!" she whispered. Maybe this whole kid thing wasn't so hard after all... She smiled, sitting back into her chair. "We value every member of the OS, regardless of age. I myself was accepted when I was five. So tell me, young man, what exactly is it that your dreams tell you?"

May-Belle hurried down to the reception to see a young man standing there, gazing at the dome. Nearing seventy, May 's forehead was covered in sweat as she waddled over to the receptionist's desk, a cup of coffee in one hand and a stack of files in the other.
"Hello young man." she said in a strong, Irish accent. "Are you here to see Miss Holly?"[

Aaron shuffled down the dusty road, his melencholy obvious in his gait. On his way back to the Inner [inner city], he had discovered a group of travellers that had advised him on the way his life was going. It had proven to be very helpful in many aspects... except for the one aspect that was bothering him the most.
Forget her, boy! The Dark Lord hissed, but Aaron ignored him. Forget Holly? Impossible. He had to kill her to forget her! Kill her and bury her in the ground, where she wouldn't plague his thoughts any longer!
Suddenly, he saw a figure walking by the side of the road.
"Hey!" he called. It was definately a girl. Blond hair... He stopped. An Ice Warrior? Near Retro City? What the...? Something must be wrong. He jogged up to her, grabbing her shoulder.
"What the hell are you doing here, Ice Warrior?" he hissed, looking straight at her with hispiercing green eyes.

Holly nodded the entire time Auris was talking. So he really was another one of them. But... that he was still so young...?
Aia must be getting desperate... she thought, flipping a strand of hair out of her eyes. She smiled when the boy spelled out the name of the city. But he's definately one of us. Aia would want him here. What a coincidence, that she would send him directly to me, of all people...
"Dyrkyrokrx." she corrected politely. "The name of the city is Dyrkyrokrx. And the Queen's name is Aia."
She began to shuffle through the papers on her desk until she found a roster of available jobs and offers from the OS. "Hmm..." she mused, looking at Auris every once in a while. "Allow me to clear some things up for you." she offered, flipping through the pages. "Dyrkyrokrx was neither rebuilt, nor was it destroyed. In fact... you're sitting on it right now. Crystal Piers was built directly on top of it to preserve what once was. And as for the crown..." She put the clipboard down and walked over to Auris, crouching down next to him and pulling her hair away from her neck, revealing the little tattoo in a shape exactly as the boy had described. "Your dream was telling you to come to the Ouroboros Society. It is the symbol of our Guild. It is a sign."
She sat back down, resuming her scouring of the clipboard. She frowned. All of these jobs were for people that were at initiation age. This boy was still prepubescent! She thought for a moment, when suddenly, an idea occured to her.
"Say, Auris... how would you like to be my personal assistant? I could use a fresh-minded young man nowadays." she offered. "Please feel free to refuse. But if you do, then I would advise you to wait until your sixteenth birthday to return to the OS."

[[@Silver--> sure! I'll be waiting. And the name of the city is pronounced (da-eer-KAH-ee-roh-kerks) lolol]]
