[SU/D] - Spirit Shards

Many years ago in a small galaxy, planets were being formed by the gods. They weaved their magic, creating their perfect worlds from nothing. The gods would rule over their respective planets, creating their ideal worlds in their image and then they’d command their people as they liked.

One planet in particular; Fides Humus, is where this story will focus. Fides Humus was created by two gods, Acerbus The God of Darkness and Aduro The God of Light. The two gods worked together, creating the only planet out of all the gods that was able to sustain life. Acerbus created night and Aduro created day. The planet was beautiful, magical forests, unique animals, rivers and seas, everything needed to hold the life of Man.
Finally the two Gods knew their planet was ready for humans.

Aduro wanted to create humans with freewill, she wanted to watch them move about their lives and live in peace. Acerbus on the other hand wanted humans to be used for war, to battle the other gods and take over their planets. The two could not agree and it tore a rift between their once inseparable bond.
They started to fight and in the end Acerbus stole half of Fides Humus casting it into complete darkness, he created a tree of life and planted the seeds grown from the tree to create life. Only males would be born from the seeds as Acerbus had no use for females. They would rise from the ground for the sole purpose of serving their God of Darkness.
Aduro was left with the other side, complete daylight for every hour of the day. She created humans with her magic, giving them the abilities to reproduce with one another, and do whatever it is they wanted in life.

In between these two sides was one large strip of twilight.

The two Gods lived as enemies on the same planet for Thousands of years; they’d start the odd war here and there but nothing as big as what was to come, these smaller wars would only cause a few natural disasters per year. Eventually the population of their people started to grow and ultimately contact between Aduro’s people and Acebus’s people became more constant.

One day a young lady from the side of light met in the strip of twilight with a warrior from the side of darkness. They had fallen in love and prayed to their Gods to let them be together. This enraged Arcebus and he damned both humans to hell. Aduro was not happy, only she was allowed to decide the fate of her creations, that was the agreement between them both, and thus the biggest war of the Gods began.

The war lasted 100 years, God against God and the Humans from the Light against the Humans from the Dark. As the fight went on, the twilight strip began to crack but it was left unnoticed. Over the years the crack would get bigger and bigger and eventually all the pressure resulted in explosions from within the Planet, separating the light from the dark completely.
The gods stopped fighting as they watched their creation destroy itself because of them, they both rushed to their respective sides, trying with all their might to push the pieces together. If the planets didn’t survive, they too would die as they had merged their spirits within to give the planet life.

As the Gods pushed, their physical beings started to fuse with their planet. They were eventually consumed by it, creating two new worlds. A planet of darkness and a planet of light but not before 8 magical shards exploded from their forms, landing on the planets and burring themselves each in a secret location.


---

500 years have passed since the event and the humans on both the light and dark planet have lived on without their Gods. Praying to their respective statues every day hoping that one day Acerbus and Aduro will come back to them.
The light Planet, which was renamed to Relucesco was blessed with the power of Magic and the Dark Planet, renamed Umbra was blessed with the power of warriors.
The Relucescoians lived in peace, their planet flourished with the power of steam, they created kingdoms and villages and everyone lives as they pleased.

The men of Umbra on the other hand used the power of their Tree of Life, creating things from the cells of their planet, everything was connected, they made lighting from illuminating cells, houses and transport but they were not as advanced as the Relucescoians. They did however manage to genetically engineer the life tree to create females... although it was rare that the tree would produce a female seed.

Each year on the 200th day, the anniversary of their Gods death, everyone from both Relucesco and Umbra would gather around their shrines for the festival of the Gods. They would bring offerings, play music and celebrate what their Gods had given them.
This year was different though, as 5 people from Relucesco and 5 people from Umbra would become the chosen ones, the ones to go on an amazing journey to find the Shards of the Gods.

They just didn’t know it yet.

Name: Ezelus
Age: 24
Gender: Male (U)
Planet: Umbra
Village: Eternus
Race:Wraith (Assuming it's allowed)
Appearance:From the outside, He's a hooded, cloaked figure, but underneath the cloak and hood is a blood drenched skeleton, shrouded in the thickest, blackest of smog.

Personality:Cold, Distant but loyal to his master. He is determined to his cause, and is relentless in battle. Although he was once human, only small remnants of his emotions still linger, although some say that it is only a matter of time before he becomes completely emotionless.
Speciality: Spellcaster.
Weapon of Choice: Blood-drenched Bone staff
Armor: Black cloak and black Hood. All that can be seen from a distance of the face is his glowing crimson eyes. Being a magical being, he can only be hit by magical attacks.
Bio: While he was a human, he lived peacefully as a mage on the outskirts of the city, practising spells, concocting various potions, but what everyone didn't know, was that he was secretly studying the dark arts. Time passed, and the more he studied, the more he understood what would eventually happen to the planet, being controlled by opposing Gods.

During the Light/Dark war, He took this chance to study the Life Tree, the only plant on this planet that could give life to new beings. He studied the tree for days on end, Discovering that the tree trees male/female ratio is roughly 95/5, with the male percentage being the higher number, due to the genetics of the tree.

The war ended, with the planet splitting in half. Without even realising it, the tree was slowly absorbing Ezelus, aswell. It wasn't untill it was too late, that he realized what was happening around him, but he accepted his fate, thus, being completely absorbed into the tree....

Several years passed, and the tree starts glowing, and a seed shrouded in a black mist envelopes it. The seed cracks open, and gives birth to... "Ezeluz the Wraith". He took a look around, shortly after being reborn, and noticed that everything was so much darker... that was when he was told by one of the guardians of the tree, what had transpired when the original planet split in two... This then gave him 2 options:

1) Continue studying the dark arts, In the hops that one day he could find a gateway to the light world to weak havoc, or
2) Traversing Umbra, and finding the crystals, in order to study them thoroughly, and figure out what else these crystals could be applied to..

he chose the path that gave him more opportinities... (2), thus travelled to the Shrine, where his quest begins...

Other: Ezelus may or may not have a hidden agenda, i havent decided 100% yet.

yup I'll allow a Wraith but I don't want too many people going for overly complicated creatues Could you possibly just make him a tiny bit more human?

The things from Umbra are allowed to be more sinister than the things from Relucesca.

Also so far your Character is fine, when you have some time could you add a little more of a description to his personality, and yeah, obv you'll get to the bio bit later

I'll accept spellcaster

Edit: Anty, the new bio is good One tiny change is they will be getting their shard mission from the Shrine of their appropriate god on the 200th day festival (where the RP will start) But I guess you can edit it so the tree informs him of the shards but Ezelus doesn't really know much more?

other than that, your App is accepted, an alterior motive would be awesome too

Name: Prince Robert Silvermyst
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Planet: Relucesco
City: Divitie
Race: Anthro Wolf
Appearance:


Personality: Robert is a friendly individual. Unlike most royalty who see themselves as a status, Robert sees himself as just another living being, just with more responsibilities. He prefers to spend his time outside the castle and among the people and socialize. He is very loyal to his friends and to the people of his country and places the lives and needs of his people before his own. However, he is not one to foolishly charge into battles blindly and uses tactics over brute force to subdue anyone who threatens the people of the land.

Speciality: Robert would be considered a paladin in terms of ability. He has a strong fighting prowess and commands Holy magic.

Weapon of Choice: A holy katana called the Wolfspirit Blade. It is a weapon that gets stronger as the wielder gets stronger.

Armor: Robert's armor is predominantly made of red valorite plate over a purple minthril plate. On the centerpiece of the chestplate is an enchanted emerald which protects the prince against mental attacks, mind control and other forms of psionic attacks. The metal is light enough to allow for fast and easy movement in the battlefield.

Bio: Robert was born the youngest of three children. His brother Simon, was always the more serious of the three, while his sister Lilly was the more carefree and fun-loving one. Robert balanced out the two as he generally liked to go and have fun, but would not shy away from his studies and training.

However, every night, he and his sister would break the taboo of leaving the castle in order to go and mingle with the commoners. Lilly liked having friends, and Robert believed that the best way to rule was to know the people and understand them, not treat them as inferiors.

On night, however, tragedy struck. While Robert and Lilly were out and about, rogues stole into the castle and kidnapped Prince Simon. No random note was left, and there was no evidence of a struggle. However, with Prince Simon missing, Robert and Lilly were placed under total survailence and Robert's studies intensified. Should Simon not return, Robert would be next in line.

Worrying for the safety of his brother, Robert would contact Fratley, a friend he made who was a member of the local thieve's guild, to try and track down Simon's whereabouts. After about a month, Fratley returned with news that the last place Simon was spotted was in the village of Primo.

With his father's reluctant permission, Robert left for Primo to try and find his missing brother. Little did Robert know that the kidnapping was staged, and that Simon was actually fleeing the castle in order to avoid being forced into an arranged marriage.

Other: Theme Song

Name: Nami cross

Age:21

Gender: Female (unless you wanted that squiddy?)

Planet: Umbra

Village: Eternus

Race: Monochromisse

Appearance:

Personality: Cold and calculating, yet flirty, she is hard to understand, and even though she lives on umbra her actions do not mirror that of the evils of the place, she seems almost angelic compared to some denizens of that planet, yet her compassion only runs so far, pass that line and you learn why she can be evil, and how much evil her light frame seems to contain

Speciality: Darkness magister (Dark magic specilised: chaos and fire)

Weapon of Choice: Bladed tonfa

Armor: (only appears in battle, as if by magic) Deadra armour

Bio: after being trapped in limbo outside of time for two millenia she is back in the world. she will kill any who stand in her way but will not do so to anyone who doesnt interrupt her way of living, prefering the possibility of death to longer imprisonment

Other: Theme::

Ok, Sir Fratley
Your character Bio is accepted. Just want to know are you planning on having him as the Son of the king of all of (R)? If so, you can change his Village to "City: Divitie"
Otherwise all good Just remember, I'd like the characters to start out on the weaker side of powerful because I want them to grow and develop a lot in RP

Himeno-Pretear
You can have the girl I wasn't planning on taking the girl from Umbra so she's all yours. When you're done with the Application I'll accept her! <3

Well, my initial thought was that his father was king of a province, but that works as well . And since he's the younger son and outside of sparring and practice studies, he's never been in actual life or death combat, he won't be all that powerful at the start, and his blade will be about as powerful as a mildly enchanted katana until he gets stronger, since the blade grows stronger as the wielder grows stronger. He'll be skilled in how to use a sword and the basics of war tactics, but that's about it.

Name: Asher Brighton
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Planet: Relucesco
Village: Primo
Race: Human with Light Elf Ancestry

Appearance:

Personality:
Asher is very modest and caring. She is not very confident in her own abilities and because of this she tends to keep to herself, working on the farm her father left her before he passed away from an illness. A lot of people tend to go to Asher with their problems, they put their trust in her because she is good at keeping a secret and calming people. Asher is a pushover though, so people do tend to take advantage of her, no one has time for her when she has something to talk about and this is quietly eating away at her.

Asher keeps it well hidden but she does have a temper and a stubborn side. She will usually go to her room to throw her tantrum in hiding and if you try to make her do something she doesn't want to, you will have to endure a verbal fighting match before she will give in.
Animals tend to be he best friends rather than humans.

She is one of the only people on Relucesco who wants there to be peace between the light and dark planets.

Speciality:
Asher is a Magic user. She specialises in Light Magic and Healing magic due to her ancient ansestry of Light Elves.
She is not very good at using Light magic, often failing at even conjuring up a spell when she decides to train on her own.
healing magic on the other hand she has found to be quite easy to master. She is often healing her plants and livestock on the farm meaning that she always has ripe juicy fruit and healthy animals for the larger cities.

She is able to learn other elemental spells but is not very good at using them and will never be able to master them.

Asher is also able to summon creatures but for now she can only summon her pet Dyllis who she uses for transport around her farm.
She hopes one day she can train in the art of Summoning.

Spells:
Some beginner spells Asher knows are:
Heal Aura:
Heal Aura is a simple spell where Asher casts her hands over the target. Healing energy will waft from her hands to whatever she is focusing on.

Heal Arrow:
Asher will focus her healing magic through her bow creating an arrow. She can shoot it at an ally from a distance. The arrow will instantly heal whoever it hits.

Light Pulse:
Asher will raise her hands in front of her body, and let out a pulse of light energy pushing back whatever she is aiming at. This attack doesn't really harm anyone unless she pushes you into something harmful

Light Arrow:
As with the Heal Arrow, Asher will turn her magic into an arrow made of light. Shooting this arrow at someone will harm them rather than Heal them.

Light Net:
Asher's light arrow can form into a net of light capturing anything within it. usually its too weak to hold anything inside for too long but it is very effective against dark creatures and users.

Asher will eventually learn new and more powerful spells over her journey for the shards.

Weapon of Choice:
Asher will use a bow and a magical arrow for long distance magic. She will focus her energy through her hands into the bow creating an arrow out of her magic. The bow will be a blinding yellow/gold in colour if she is using Light magic and a pale green if using Healing magic.

She will stand back behind all the other warriors in battle, shooting her magical arrows at her targets. This is handy if an ally gets hurt in battle and is quite a distance away from her.

Asher is also able to use her hands to emit her spells but she must be at close range to cause any harm to enemies or heal her allies.

Armor:
Asher doesn't wear much armor, she wears a cloak with her regular clothing underneath (See picture). Her battle strategy is to stay back and fire magic from afar.

Bio:
Asher inherited her fathers farm when she was just 15. Her father passed away because of an illness leaving the Girl to fend for herself. She does however have some hired help. A young boy who tends to the animals named Rei and an older man who helps her with the crops called Jon. They make farm life less lonely for Asher.
When Asher's father ran the farm it was just a fruit farm, they'd sell a fruit called a Gooji Fruit, it was large, oval shaped and red but on the inside it was purple and very juicy. Asher's love for animals however eventually meant that she started to breed livestock. Selling them to the big cities for a nice sum each.
Asher is the best farmer of Gooji fruit. She manages this by using her healing magic to keep the fruit in the best shape possible, Making them juicier than anything anyone has ever tasted and because of they way she grows them, they also contain healing elements.

She has lived in the Village, Primo for her entire life and although she loves the village she finds the people in it to be very fake. Her farm is located on the outskirts of the town, closer to the Shrine of Aduro.

She eventually taught herself to summon a creature for riding, making it easier to travel over her large farm. Dyliss eventually became her best friend.

Other:
Dyliss: Asher's summon. It is as big as a horse but stands on two powerful legs its face looks like an eagles but it has two long pointed ears, it has a long neck and a sterdy body with two small arms coming out from its chest.
Dyliss is an Earth Summon, it is great at taking care of plants with Asher and is very fast but it isn't great in battles.

i re-did it / completed my bio

Hime, could you make her Bio a little longer? Also she'll need to be born from the Tree of life <3

Lol... So we're starting from the factions respective shrines, correct?

How will the battles with the demi-gods go? i mean will you control them if no one else picks them?

Which reminds me, iI wanna reserve the Dark Demi-God. i'll bio him up later.

Gavin AEtherae
I am actually not too sure what a shadow frost wielder is. It's probably ok, so long as its not over powered or anything, could you explain to me what it is, if its not too much trouble? and i am really glad you want to join my RP <3

Shinya
Yup, we're going to start in the two starting Towns, Primo for R and Eternus for U. I was going to have everyone travel to those towns for the festival of the Gods, then figure out how to get them to the shrines together from there. So all 5 from Umbra would meet at the shrine by accident, then get their Quest and the same for Relucesco.

If we don't get enough people wanting to be a demi god, I will just take control of them in battle

And A demi god wont need a huge Bio. Maybe a description of how they look and their power and any specific spells they might know. They're only side characters who must be defeated so they don't need a great deal of detail.

Thanks for showing interest guys <3

Ok that seems fine with me. You can be a Shadow Frost Wielder!

I have a question, what would the Guardians do really? i mean minus progress the story? would they be involved in the whole story?

and can I reserve a Relcesco?

I gave people the option to own a guardian pretty much to help me out with the guardian fights They don't really have much to do with the story other than being in the lore and guarding the shards. I really just didn't want to do all 8 fights as all 8 guardians.

and sure I will reserve a spot in Relucesco for you <3

Spot for Umbra, pl0x? :3

Temp forthcoming.

EDIT: Temp not complete, but will be tomorrow.

Name; Gios
Age; 24
Gender; Male
Planet; Umbra
Village
Race; Human with Fire Demon ancestry

Appearance;

Dashing good looks, Gios’ hair flows down to his mid-back, with a shade of pitch black. Eyes glaring at you would give you a close-up, and you would see golden eyes complemented by a light tan. To hold his bangs golden tiara-like accessory keeps his hair up from covering his eyes. To the left, a red hair tie holds a part of his hair in a braided fashion. In a complement to his hair and eyes, a marking that every Efsves is branded with, the symbol of fire is underneath his left eye, shaded a basic red color, with a dim-white outline. Lastly, about his hair, Gios keeps his hair tied up in layers of braids and small ponytails.

In a compliment to his hair, Gios’ height comes up to six feet even, and with an athletic build, he comes to a two-hundred and thirty pounded-weight. Though muscles are not seen because he wears a Chinese-traditional robe. A tan-colored underling, and fire-red overcoat holds this robe together is a brown, leather belt layered to a three inch height. At the edge of the shoulders is the symbol of the Chinese Fire Dragon. On his wrists are black wrist bands where it cuts off to a triangle shape with a golden, metal plating right before the beginning of his hand.

Personality;

Warrior spirit runs through Gios’ veins. This is present in the way he fights, and the way he acts. Honor and integrity is the most important thing to him. On first meeting him, Gios is respectful, and courteous to whomever is in front of him. He will offer up his name as a sign of mutual respect. Battle-wise, he is scary, but valiant; not showing weakness, but also not being heartless. In times of peace, his free-spirit evolves into a guy who enjoys a good time, and takes great pride in what he does and who he is. Also religious, Gios does not take kindly to disrespect to his “master”

Specialty; Like all men born on Umbra, Gios is trained like a warrior, but due to his athletic build, he is able to perform acrobatics that one would see from Ninjas. And as such, he is not just limited to the ground work of a warrior.

Weapon of Choice

Gios Is skilled in many different types of weapons, and while that may be so, he personally chooses to use dual swords as his primary weapon. In some instances, Gios has been seen to be using throwing knives for ranged attacks, but mainly he sticks to his close-range instincts. That will, and always will be, sword-fighting.

Some things to note:

• Gios' dual swords are short swords.
• His throwing knives are kept in a latch on both sides of his rear in a pocket of sorts.

Armor(Minus the sword) - Gios’ armor is composed of a special steal that does indeed have the same resistance of steel metal, but the weight is half of what it usually come out to be. The armor(in color) is a default red with metallic silver for the steel plates on torso(front and back), shoulder, forearms, knees, and only when battle nears, the head, mainly forehead. The armor has a black cloth that holds the armor in place in case there approaches a fight.
