Welcome to Gaia! ::

The character types are as follows:

Persona Humans;

The persona humans have the ability to manifest elemental powers. The powers essentially allow the persona humans to create and control that element (it’s kinda’ like Avatar on crack). The persona humans evolved as a warrior race. They revel in the fight and strive for perfection. Some are highly powerful and have become involved in the
The elements are as follows; Fire, Ice, Water, Lightning, Earth, Wind, Metal, Wood, Soul, Mind, Light, and Shadow.

Each alignment has an opposing alignment; Fire/Ice, Lightning/Water, Earth/Wind, Metal/Wood, Soul/Mind, Light/Shadow.

Each element has an advantage over one other element and a disadvantage to a different element. The advantages and disadvantages go like this;

(disadvantage on chosen < type chosen < advantage on chosen)
Ice < Fire < Water
Fire < Water < Lightning
Water < Lightning < Earth
Lightning < Earth < Wind
Earth < Wind < Wood
Wind < Wood < Metal
Wood < Metal < Mind
Metal < Mind < Soul
Mind < Soul < Shadow
Soul < Shadow < Light
Shadow < Light < Ice
Light < Ice < Fire

Neo-humans;

The neo-humans are super smart and have awesome looking tattoos and interesting hair and eye color. The tattoos are tribal and on the face, usually around the eyes, cheek, or neck. The colors of their hair are usually blue, green, purple and all the different shades of those. The colors of the eyes are any color in the yellow to red range of the color wheel. They make some really awesome stuff that’s comparable to a persona human’s capabilities (just in the form of technology). Neo-humans are very resourceful; they can make something out of anything (as long as it makes sense). They have a very practical view on life and are often city bound, although a few are found in less advanced communities in the wilderness (these have reconnected with their love of nature).

Neo-humans make everything from useless things like electric toothbrushes to highly practical and destructive things such as power suits and energy weapons.

Inventions (short list of average inventions);

Everyday Items
(anything you could think of from this time period exists in the future)
Holo-emiters
Wrist computers (applicable for any use)
Hover Craft (single transport to bus units)

Industrial Items
Heavy Loader Units (industrial power suit)
Robotic Workers
Industrial Lasers

Military Use
Power Suits (from simple proctetive armor to large super suits with mounted laser weapons)
Laser Firearms (Light Sidearms to Heavy Mounted Cannons)
Hover Craft (single personel units to heavy trasnport units [50 person limit])
Advanced tracking devices (for transport units to finding a particular race of people in as few numbers as 1)
Energy shields (personal arm units to vehicle units to area fields [up to 1000 yards])

This is a very short list that is meant to inspire you for other inventions... the possibilities are limitless!

Daemons;

The daemons are de-evolved forms of persona humans. They were formed from the inability to combine opposing aura types (fire/ice, earth/air, etc.). They had really short life spans and a really short gestation period thusly providing effective super evolution. They got really strong, fast, and agile (not to mention amazingly hot) in the span of 150 years. They have a human form and an animal form. They "hide" in their human form which is so amazingly hot that you can pick them out of a crowd with 99% accuracy of identifying them. They fight, which they like to do, in their animal form which is dictated by the different opposing alignments.

The daemons are very tribal. They stick to others of their type and form tight nit groups to establish closely held systems of rank and class within their tribes. Each tribe has different rules and expectations that follow a fairly primal division.

Fire/Ice = Avian, Water/Lightning = Aquarian, Earth/Wind = Insectoid, Metal/Wood = Reptilian, Light/Shadow = Mammalian, Soul/Mind = Mythical (note: the last is extremely rare and would require a good reason to play one).

Type:
Subtype - General appearance. Abilities.

Mythical:
I am no longer accepting character profiles for Mythical Daemons. Sorry guys but we have like 2 PC's with this status and one NPC and I'm just not willing to involve any more of these super elite warriors into the story.

The Social structure of the planet is essentially this;

The persona humans and the neo-humans don't get along well but they tolerate each other.

The daemons don't like anyone but themselves (even though that's a stretch at times).

The planet has a unified government and all the races are represented so the "peace" can be kept.

This is only a basic social structure. Remember that anything is possible and that the social structure is only typical of the world, there will be exceptions.

That’s it in a nutshell.

Character Creation

PM me with the following information;

Gaian Name:
Character Name:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Body Type:
Race:
Type: (only applicable to persona humans and daemons)
Weapons: (only if desired)
Tribe: (only if applicable)
Appearance: (pics are fine. Make sure to describe your characters transformed state (if applicable).)
Bio: (Basic history of your character. You can add personality if you wish but it's not necessary.)
RP Sample: (How would your character react to the following situation?) “You are walking down a street at night. A street light goes out just twenty-five feet from you and you think you can see a shadowy figure moving. The next street light in line goes out and the next and so on. You can definitely see a figure moving towards you now."

Attacks

You should also include three very basic moves from which all your other moves in the future will build on. They should be highly undeveloped (unless your history would change that fact, and that will be subject to scrutiny) and if you have a need for an element that is not readily available (fire, water, wood, etc.) one of your first elementary techniques should be generating/harnessing said element.

You will get the opportunity to make up new attacks once every week. You're character should draw on some former experience they have had be that a technique they already know or some knowledge they have gained in classes, or something that they realized they lack (point being you can't just learn how to do stuff "just 'cause!").

Edit: The old system where we could update our attack list once every week seems to be pushing it a bit as the forum has been moving so slowly. I'm going to say that you can update no more than once a week, but only if your character has spent time training the technique/attack that you are updating.

Gaian Name: Sabrwolf
Character Name: Micheal Stram
Theme Song: The Red - Chevelle
Age: 18
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 185 lbs
Body Type: Athletic
Race: Persona Human
Type: Fire
Weapons: None
Tribe: N/A
Appearance: Mike has a mane of brown hair, brown eyes, and light skin color. He usually wears a red shirt with a graphic design of a dragon on it, baggy black cargo pants, and red/black/gray tennis shoes. He has an athletic frame and is unusually strong (he possesses the strength of 2 persona human currently).

Bio: Mike was born into a troubled family. His mother died two years after he was born due to an illness that set in due to his birth. His father abused him because he felt that Mike was the cause of his wife's death. Mike discovered his powers at the age of 6 and accidentally killed his father with them. He was sent to a juvenile detention center until the N.E.D.F. when he was 12. He was trained in the academy in the N.E.D.F. complex and became one of the greatest agent's they have.

Flame Start - allows Mike to create fire so he can take control of his manipulative powers. (Perfected It was the first thing he ever learned and can be done so automatically that it's in his nature to do it)

Flame Thrower - Mike uses his create fire ability to shoot his flames up to 30 feet away from him.

Fire Fist - Mike can coat his hands in high intensity flames and thusly burn all things that he touches while using the attack. When Mike is enraged he can coat his whole forearms in the blaze though it is not as intense as just the hands.

Flame Shield - Mike (through forcing himself to relive his worst memories) creates many high heat micro flames in the air and spins them around at high speeds to melt and deflect anything that touches it. The technique is not as hard for Mike to use now; it still requires his rage, but he can maintain the shield under more adverse conditions now (harder hits and faster projectiles.)

Fire Ball - Mike compresses his flame thrower ability to give the attack a longer distance and faster movement. The fire ball moves at almost twice the speed of the flame thrower and can reach a distance of 40 feet away. The only problem that Mike faces with this technique currently is the timing; the technique requires that he focus on making the ball of fire for up to 5 seconds and he can only use the technique every two minutes.

Intensified Flame Thrower - This is a super compacted shot of flame thrower fire and has a short range for a distance attack (15 feet) before the effects return to that of a normal flame thrower shot that fizzles out after a short distance thereafter (5 more feet). The maximum thickness of metal that Mike can penetrate is 3 inches of titanium (which is common on New Earth and most things are made of; Titanium = Aluminum).
*Note* The attack is not perfected enough to have a proper name yet and Mike only calls it by this name at the moment because of it's lack of defining qualities.

Gaian Name: Teridas

Bio: Neffis is a tactivist lives by the motto "Mind over Matter" uses his Mind abilities for Telekinectic attacks and defense manuvers, also an extreme smartass so get used to his random jokes and him stating the obvious. Not much is known about his past at this time but he future actions will determine the path he chooses.

Abilities

1. Telekenetic Blast Lv. 3 - Allows the user to pick up objects using one's mind and shoot small shockwaves to throw a target of balance. At level 2 this ability allows the user to lift heavier objects and blast them with medium sized shockwaves at the same time also allows user to crush targets. At Level 3 the user can lift Massive objects and throw them effortlessly and shockwave radius is increased.

2. Mind Blade Lv. 3- Allows the user to create a weapon somewhat out of thin air this item takes the shape of a sword, axe, knife, whatever the user chooses (non-projectile) and cuts through objects as if it were the object chosen. This item is purely compossed of mental energy. At level 2 this ability allows the user to concentrate ones energy in the blade and allows them the throw it up to 10 ft., Also allows a greater weapon to be formed. (Greatsword, Scythe, Lance, Etc.) At Level 3 the power of the Mind Blade itself becomes so immense that it actually develops a mind of its own allowing the wielder to not even grasp the blade in order to use it. The blade cannot be taken control of for it only listens to the user's brain waves should someone be able to recreate them then perhaps they can control it themselves...but the blade has to be formed of course.

3. Trickster Lv. 2 - A form of telepathy this ability allows the user to read the targets mind not only to find vital information but also to learn of the targets weaknesses, (for instance should the target be frightened by snakes the user can create an illusion to terrify the target) Trickster is mainly used for stealth/gathering information. At level 2 Trickster's can now cloud a target's mind to render the user to be invisible from it for 1 minute.

4. Schizm Lv. 2 - Causes the users mind to fragment allowing one to do multiple tasks (Grab multiple targets with Telekenetic Blast, Allow another Mind Blade to form, Trickster multiple targets, and the ability to link abilites together ex. Have Mind Blade formed while using Telekenetic Blast) however with the split of the mind the level of power for each task drops by 1 level. At level 2 level drops to .5 a level

5. Concentrated Shield - Causes the user to be enveloped in a protective barrier of the mind this barrier may block incoming physical, projecticle, and even mind affecting attacks. The barriers maximun range is 10 ft height and 5 ft diameter. Requires a 3 second cast time.

6. Copycat - The user projects an image from a previous time allowing it to come to life. This ability allows the user to use an ability of another however its effects are not with its original element, due to the fact that this is an image brought to life by the user it is automatically converted to mental energy thus giving it the 'Mind' element. This ability requires that user to have seen the ability and/or know it effects for this ability to work. This also requires serious concentration so the cast time is a 5 second minimum however should the concentration be longer its effects will be greater.

Bio: Renyth grow up without parents his older brother Altdoth took care of him. Renyth was 3 and Altdoth was 11 when their parents died. They didn't go to an orphanage, cause Altdoth knew that him and Renyth would get split up and he didn't want to lose anymore of his family. So they would go from town to town never staying in the same places for more then two day so that they wouldn't get found and taken to an orphanage.They would get caught a few time but they would get away by fighting back. And Altdoth was a good fighter and swordman so he taught Renyth how to fight and use a sword. They did this for about 7 years. Then one day they got caught by two guy that were a lot more strong and looked different then the other people that tried to catch them before. Unfortunately Altdoth died trying to protect Renyth.

Bloody eye seem to come out when Renthy Become extremely angry or in high stress situation. And the reson Bloody eye come out when Renthy was fight Gab was a mix of angry and high stress situation. From the small argument wait Mike to Eli not wanting to fight part way though their fight and a few other thing. this is only the 2nd time bloody eye has came out.

The first time was when Renthy first got his powers. A mix of Fear, sadness, Anger cuesed Renthy powers too awaken and created Bloody eye. Bloody eye was the one who "killed" the two men. And Renthy did gain his powers before Altdoth died. But Bloody eye didn't like Altdoth so he killed Altdoth, Not before Altdoth used what power he had left to seal Bloody eye away. And unfortunately sealing away some of Renthy power away.
