Three Worlds, Three Races
........The World of Humans:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nothing much has changed for the humans, their technology has advanced in the few years that have passed but nothing truly remarkable has happened. Their society, however, is taking drastic steps of change. The poor are getting poorer with the low availability and sky rocketing competition for jobs, the middle class are working harder than ever to continue earning their meagre but stable income. The rich are a different story with their class essentially controlling the world markets as they wage cold wars through stocks and the marketplace. With the sudden outbreak of sudden depression throughout the world, things can only take a turn for the worse...
........The In Between:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They're as their name describes them, the world located between the midst of the two other, larger worlds. The shamans, who are neither fully human nor spirits, live under the rules of the council, with a leader that is renominated every decade or so. For as long as they can remember, their people have had the duty of maintaining the balance and peace throughout all the realms, making sure that nothing out of the norm occurred. However, whispers of change have been flitting around the community with hushed rumours of a certain group going against their stable, tedious and overall invisible roles as the caretakers of the worlds. They were treated as all but useless wives' tales until the crack appeared, causing stories to spread like wildfire and force the council into action. In retaliation to the unnatural crack, the council sent a few agents to gather more information and control the situation that was happening in the human realm. What the council haven't realised is that at the core of every rumour lies a single silver strand of truth. The group of shamans that had been sent and now effectively trapped in the human realm consist of both the loyalists who have sworn their eternal faithfulness to their government and the rebellionists who are determined to take a step forward to make their race truly shine. With the stakes climbing higher and the tension rising, which group will claim victory?
........The Land of Spirits:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A world that would be renowned for its breathtakingly stunning scenery if the humans knew of its existence, the land of spirits is a natural sanctuary for the spirits. Teeming with lush forests and clear water, the spirits that live there harbour a simple mindset, similar to a flock of sheep. As with every flock of sheep, the spirits too come with a shepherd, an ancient being that has existed long before the shamans started their written records. Their peaceful existence was however ruined by the crack, which disconnected their world from the energy stream. This caused the world to slowly decay, pushing the spirits to the brinks of their destruction. However, for a short amount of time, a portal leading to the human world spontaneously appeared in front of the spirit world, leading the spirits who were frantic with hunger to rush towards the energy filled world of humans.

Three Wars That Became One
........The 'Crack' and the Rumour:
The In Between was relatively in peace before the event known as the big 'crack' happened. This caused an error in the energy stream which then in turn caused the three seperate worlds to collide. There are hushed rumours that certain people may have caused it, but overall, no one knows how or why it occured. The shamans were sent to the human world to explore the sudden explosive population of the spirits in the human world whilst the 'crack' was still open. The shamans who have travelled into the human realm can communicate back to the In Between but cannot return to it. As such, the agents need to contract and contract fast or else they will revert back to raw energy and return to the energy stream, losing their identity forever in the process.
........The Fleeing Spirits:
During the 'crack', the Land of Spirits lost its connection to the energy stream. The world then started to slowly wither and waste away, effectively cutting off the spirits from any means of survival. With their simplistic, 'herd' mindset, when the crack opened the path to the human realm, a world filled with raw energy otherwise known as 'emotions', they flocked towards the defenceless realm. The spirits are especially attracted to negativity as it is extremely powerful as a lone energy source and easy to 'harvest' once latched onto their human bait.
........The Troubled Humans:
The humans have started to become more and more depressed as the spirits invade their world, powerless to do anything against them due to their inability to physically feel or see them. There has been a sharp increase on the graphs for both suicide and stress related illnesses. The doctors are at a loss at how to deal with this phenominal occurance and are almost at their wits end as they try and figure out what's affecting the human population.

Rules
........The Grand Rulers of this RP:
The two masters of this RP are The Flying Duckman and A Minor Crisis. If something goes against our wishes then you're in trouble.
........Regarding Spirits:
Spirits are not player characters. The reason for this is that spirits are;
1. Not sentient. They're ruled by survival instincts, not thoughts. They don't have the free will to make significant decisions in the RP.
2. If we did make them intelligent enough to be RPed, they have a very high chance of being 'killed'. We don't want to receive complaints that spirit characters were killed because that's the purpose of the RP.
Yes, there is a leader and he does have some sentience, but he will be played by A Minor Crisis and The Flying Duckman.
........Humans and Spirits:
Humans can't see Spirits at first. A human character may get shivers down their spine while being fed off, but that's all. They can only start seeing spirits when they are contracted with a shaman. And even then, at first, all they see is faint blobs. It's as they start to trust the shaman they're contracted to that they start to see the spirits more clearly.
........The cycle:
In this RP, there is a cycle of what can harm what. Shamans can harm spirits, spirits can harm humans and humans can harm shamans, but shamans can't hurt humans, humans can't hurt spirits and spirits can't hurt shamans. We do not want to see shamans going haywire and killing humans or humans stabbing spirits.
........Shaman aging:
Shamans age differently to humans. They age slower, as the time in the In Between is constantly changing between the worlds around it. A shaman will look younger than s/he is, but the actual age to appearance difference is no bigger than 10 years, with 3 years being the minimum.
........Teenagers:
We don't want too many teenagers in this RP. There are just too many RPs that are full of teenagers when, if the situation was real, there wouldn't be any. We want to step away from this. Yes, your shaman may look like a teenager, but actually teen aged shamans wouldn't be ready to go out into the world quite yet.
........Contracts:
You have to talk to the person you're wishing to contract with and there must be a logical progression of story that leads to the contract. Also, contracts are not automatic relationships. Characters in contracts can fall in love with whomever they wish, and making a contract doesn't cause instant love. There may be contracts where both halves despise each other.
........General RPing rules:
The rules that should apply to any RP
No Godmodding. No human has gone training in the mountains and can already see and kill spirits. No shaman can harm a human and they can't kill all the spirits in the World of Humans in a single smash.
Be nice to your fellow Role Players. Characters can be at each other's throats, but not you guys. Be civil, thank you.
With posting styles, make them pretty but not overcrowded. It is up to you for the style, but size 11 font is a must for the actual RPing and text colour must be something that's easy to see, thank you.
Minimum post length is 1 paragraph. That's about 3 sentences or more. You may post more than one paragraph if you wish, but nothing under 3 sentences.
Grammar, punctuation and spelling is important. We are a Semi-lit ➙ lit RP. Typos are allowed as long as they're honestly just typos. If there is constant issues with grammar, punctuation and spelling we may be led to remove you from the RP
Profiles are to be sent to The Flying Duckman with the title of the RP as the PM title. If The Flying Duckman takes some time accepting, it may be that she's discussing the character with a third party, off gaia friend who has agreed to help us with the sorting of profiles. If both decline, then you will be told.
