Looking back at the last ToF topic, I realize I'm making the next RP topic for Lenna once again. But I don't mind 'cause I'm so nice :P

But we have rules:
1. DO NOT CONTROL OTHER PEOPLES CHARACTERS! A few lines are okay but avoid major actions.
2. The limit post is 5 PER DAY. You only get that number, if you didn't use some on one day too bad you can never use them again.
3. Have fun. There might be other rules but we will state them in an OOC if you break them. If you're here not to be serious about Roleplaying then leave. Now.

Anyway...now for the exciting summary!

Summary: 120 years have passed on since the last adventure occured. The book of stories is being cracked open once again to see new faces and challenges ahead.

Terca Lumireis has now been graced with supersition. A new religion has been formed and, since there is no other religion, most people belong to this newfound belief. The arts of summoning and mana awareness has also spread. Few people dare think to make pacts with the spirits though, seeing as the spirits themselves are the ones being worshipped. The Guilds and the Empire are still on their usual neutral attitude toward each other despite all the things that could have unified them. The use of mana is now spreading. More and more often you see mana being applied to machines and other things.

But now this peaceful setting is about to be disrupted. But by whom and the reasons why will soon be discovered . . .

Now here is the rubric for how you create your characters. Just fill it out with the necessay info and you'll be fine :D

Name:

Sex:

Age:

Weapon:

Affiliation:

Build/Weight/Height:

Eye/Hair color/Hairstyle:

Clothing:

Personality:

Short Background:

NOTE: Please don't go TOO in depth with the background. If a plot twist you have planned has something to do with your character's past I advise against stating it in the background.

Now for all the people you put there profiles up on the topic of the same name PLEASE copy and paste it onto here. Not everyone went into that topic. Now as soon as you post your bios you may begin posting ^^ Remember only 5 posts per day!

Short Background: Born to a clan of gypsies, Gene was raised on the road, never having any place to call home. His family raised him as a pickpocket, but always told him to only take what he needs to survive, and never take enough to seriously cause someone trouble.

Weapon: Whip

Affiliation: Spell Artes, particually earth; Time

Build/Weight/Height: Small/110 lbs/ 5' 7''

Eye/Hair color/Hairstyle: Green eyes/Red Hair/ Curly

Clothing: A dark jacket over a blue shirt. Wears white jeans and brown shoes. Has a headband to try and control her curly hair. (Check the Bio topic for an avatar pic)


Personality: Lela is a kind but awkward person who sometimes spazes out. She can usually pull it together when it counts, but makes many failups in the process. It's strange to her how she can be extremely graceful with a whip, yet fall on her own two feet while walking into a room.

Short Background: Lela is the daughter of Sho and his childhood sweetheart, Julia. She is a half-spirit, and lives out her life with an ability to manipulate and move through time. She hasn't mastered this ability very well and her father isn't exactly sure why she has it. Her abilities have lead to meeting many people from the past and future, whether she wanted to or not. She is currently travelling to the different spirits, to ask them personally about her ability.

~Gene~

Several days before

"Oh... Shit..." Gene said, the color draining from his face. "I... I really messed up... This time..." He stared into the inferno he'd accidentally caused, a look that could only be described as sheer terror in his face. He hadn't meant to cause it, but there it was, staring him in the face. "Why the hell did this happen?" He asked, fear literally oozing in his tone. He turned around. On a nearby hill, he saw the silhouettes of three people approaching. "No... I can't... AHHHHHHH!" He shouted. For a moment, he stood still, then he bolted, hiding in a nearby tree.

Present
"Damn, where is she..." Gene mumbled. "Hello? Angry chick? Where the heck are ya?" He shouted. "This is getting me nowhere..." Gene started running, then jumped, grabbing the roof of a street vendor, jumping onto it. "Hellooooooooo..." He said, searching around.

"Will you get off!?" The owner of the cart yelled.

"Ah! Uhh sorry, can you wait just a second?" Gene said in a courteous tone.

"No! Get off my cart n-"

"Oh! Found her!" Gene said, jumping to the top of another cart. One could only describe him as swift.

"Who was that kid?"

~Arken~

Arken walked through the busy streets. "Hm... Not too different..." He stepped into a chapel. "May as well try... See where it gets me."

~Vera~

Knuckles latched to the side of her body, she was sitting at a bench in the crowded town, truly bored with herself and nothing to do. Just not too long ago she faced being kicked out of her family's home after some unknown fire broke out.

She had no idea what had happened. She was only reading a magazine as it occurred, sudden. She heard her parents screams, and only a short time after she found the screams targeted towards her own self. Next thing she knew, she was chased out.

And now she finds her own butt plopped on the wooden bench, her face in her hands, thinking of her next motive.

"Maybe I should find a job or something... Or maybe I should just move where everyone wouldn't piss me off." She sighed, ignoring the crowds.

In a small home, about 100 years before our heroes story, a young half-spirit girl sits with along haired perverted man who carries two swords. They are talking of many things having to do with the yound girl's life. Particularly her power as a half spirit. "Uncle Lee, I know who you really are...are you sure you know nothing of my power?"

"I'm sorry Lela, I was there at your birth. The only thing I know about your time travel ability is that you can take anybody who's around with you. You spooked your mom when you took your father a few years into the future." The man responded. He grinned at the girl. "I'm more interested in that other secret your keeping from your parents." he said, laughing a little.

"Oh, I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what your talking about..." Lela said quietly. She nervously rubbed her arm, thinking of what to ask next. "Uncle Lee...I've already consulted Erica, Rowan, and my dad on this...none of them have the slightest clue. You were there, did anything happen when I moved through time?"

"Only you laughing when your dad tickled you. Lela, I'm pretty sure your not gonna get the answers from the spirits that spend their time with humans are gonna know much. Your probably gonna have to find the more dangerous ones. I'd try to find Rosa if I were you, but I haven't seen her in years."

"Ok...so I'm gonna have to search for spirits? Ugh...I'm half spirit, can't I just talk to them through my mind like you and dad?"

"Sure, if you were a full spirit. Let me clue you in on something. The upper spirits don't like your human half or your time travel abilities. They think they are all a source of trouble. But if you could master this skill, you could become great like them."

"How can I master something I can't use right for my life..."

"You practice." Lee said smiling. "Something your father never liked to do either." The disappointed girl walked out of the home, and headed out into the fields outside of Halewind.

"Practice..." she said, closing her eyes and holding out her arms.

"Let's try...ten minutes into the future..." A strange blue energy surrounded Lela. It released a strong aura, creating a wind that frightened the nearby monsters. The aura brightened, until it engulfed Lela and sent her into the future. How far however, is not what she suspected...

~Gene~

"HEY!" Gene said, landing on the bench next to Vera. "I thought I'd lost ya, buddy!" He said, moving from his monkey pose on the back of the bench to sitting down next to her normally. "So what are we gonna do today?" He asked casually. "I hear there's some really neat stuff and places just outside of town... You know I've been here before, and I can show you around. There's really a lot of fun to be had, you know, can't just let your life bu-become drab and boring, you know? Gotta live it up!"

Gene stood up on the bench. "Look at it this way, you aren't with some crazy adventurer types on some world saving mission, right?" He did a backflip and landed in front of her. "Hey, I have an idea... Let's go fishing!"

~Arken~

"Hm... Something's coming..." Arken said. "Seventh Fonons... No... It's not..." He put his hand to his head. "Not here... Best not to say it again... This is something different." He looked up. "Huh? Is this!?" He got into a defensive position as there was a flash, the force pushing the man back to a wall. "What... Was that force?" He walked towards the center of the blast. "No destruction, but those poor benches are all over the place." When he saw the girl at the center, his hand moved for his blade. Enemy or not?

Lela wavered at she stood, eventually falling on her butt. After getting up from the awkward fall, she looked around, quickly realizing she wasn't in the fields anymore. "Crap! Not again...wonder where I am...or when I am." She saw a man near here, reaching for his sword.

"Whoa! I'm not an enemy...Just a bad time traveler..." Lela walked over to man slowly, not wanting to pose a threat.

"Excuse me, can you tell me what year it is?" she asked, blushing about asking the seemingly silly question.

Name: Faust Decus

Sex: Male

Age: 19

Weapon: A black staff with two downward-curving protrusions on the tip and a dim teal gem set just below the tip.

Affiliation: Darkness, magic with some strike artes.

Build/Weight/Height/Eye/Hair color/Hairstyle/Clothing: He looks like this guy. Yeah, I'm using something else but this look is too good to pass up. http://www.flickr.com/photos/86407504@N00/1763872470/

Personality: Very dark and practical, with a violent temper to match his fearsome appearance. He doesn't like to restrain himself in battle and oftens obliterates his opponents and everything else in the vicinity.

Short Background: Faust is the son of famous mana researcher Felix Decus. Having heard that his father had developed a new type of magic, the young man stole the research notes and began using the volatile new spells. He destroyed most of his father's remote research post in the process before heading out on a journey to hone his skills. His appearance was crafted using the chaos magic he wields so well.

At the same moment, a young man was walking through the city. His blue skin and dark clothing drew attention from most people, and one man purposefully bumped into him. "Watch where you're going, brat!" The younger man narrowed his eyes and pulled his staff off his back, striking the man over the head. As he crumpled, the attacker simply walked on...

~Laurence~

Laurence paced down the crowded streets of Dahngrest, whistling his favorite tune. It just so happened to be the melody used to direct the flow of energy, the song only graced his ears once a month but it still stuck at the back of his mind. He turned the corner entering the Spiritual Mana guild’s territory, well what the towns people called their territory, it was just the area around the cathedral that low ranking priest and priestess’s loitered around until services and other church business began. He stopped whistling to allow a smile to creep across his face as the Church came into view; it was the ex-guild headquarters. After all the constant attacks on the town the Union opted to move HQ deeper into Dahngrest, leaving this as a vacant building, leaving it open to anybody you was willing to buy it. “Heh, my favorite time of the month.” all the people in the area gave a collective gulp as Laurence walked by some clergy dared to whisper “Here comes Laurence Hailbringer!”
Paying no attention to the crowd he continued his stroll towards the backyard of the Cathedral. He’d been coming to the church for a little over three years earning him the infamous title of Laurence Hailbringer” because of the damages he caused during his duals with Krista. When ever he entered S.M. territory the whole area went on high alert.

His smile faded as he looked around the court yard, to his left rows of seats full of people that were going to watch his match “more than normal” he mumbled. Laurence glanced to his right and saw the huge circle in the middle of the area he assumed that’d be the arena but what surprised him most was Krista was no were to be found.

He jogged across the dark green lawn until he was at the edge of the chalk circle. “Now entering Laurence Hailbringer Kurokami!!” half of the crowd cheered and the other half booed as the mediator’s voice boomed around the field. Laurence bowed and stepped into the circle, drawing the massive two-handed sword from the sheath on his back. “This will be the tie breaking match, after three years of a the biggest rivalry in all of Dahngrest the Advents, and Kurokamis have agreed that who ever wins this match will gain control over the Guild Union!” the crowd roared again. His smile returned as he remembered when his father first proposed the idea of fighting Krista Advent, he’d been so reluctant to fight he was blown out of the water and woke up in the hospital the next morning, still reeling from being totally defeat. Since then he’d tried his hardest to get better “Man how things have changed” he looked over all the spectators again. “Now entering the Maiden of Mist, Krista Advent!!” again the crowd was divided some cheering some booing.

Krista bowed and stepped into the arena her lute in hand. “Are both contestants ready?” Laurence and Krista nodded. The judge nodded “Then on my mark….get ready…..FIGHT!!” the judge backed away from the circle. The onlookers grew quiet as the air filled with tension, rivals locked eyes trying to force the other to jump first.

Laurence moved first “Freezing strike” he brought his sword down in a vertical strike sending frozen mana particles in Krista’s direction, as soon as Laurence had moved Krista had started strumming, forming a wall of water between her and the arte flying towards her. She quickly changed notes as the ice hit bouncing it off right back at Laurence. The battle to decide the fate of the two leading guilds was well underway. Both contestants finally being able to go all out no restraints, the winner would enjoy the taste of power and glory, the loser would be tortured with ridicule and disgrace.

Unbenknownst to Faust, a young, quite dashing(in his own mind at least) man saw what was going on.

"Damn... What that guy with the staff did was low, even for the streets of Dahngrest... Can't say I blame him, though. I mean, that creep was just ASKING for it," Calvin thought. He sighed, and decided to confront the stranger about it. It usually wasn't his style to interfere in scuffles like this, but his innate sense of justice kept him from turning away.

"I know that guy was being a real jerk, but was clobbering him over the head like that REALLY necessary?"

"Go away. I'm not even your friend, and I don't have to tell you twice." Vera groaned as she stood up.

"What the hell are you doing anyways? I don't need stalkers." Vera hissed as she shoved him to the side and moved on to a stall, peering at items for any ideas on what she could do.

"Mercenary may work..."
