Ok. So basically there's this superior race that has the ability to control the elements. They took care of everyone else, since these Elementals were more powerful. However the Elementals are a kind race, and they did not control the inferior races. After many years the Elementals decided they wanted to be equals to the rest, and so stepped down from their seat of power and protection. And where good leaves, evil always follows.

One Elemental and her trusted minion went rogue and took over the throne, And now terror reigns. But of course the only ones actually on the Blood Queen's side (thus dubbed by her "loving" subordinates) are only there by force, and for fear of their life. And yes, she will kill them without even a second thought.

But of course, we have our heroes, played by all who choose to participate in the RP. They are Elementals as well (along with some normal humans...) who have decided not to comply to the will of the Blood Queen. They of course have to hide that fact from the public, since her spies are everywhere...
However there are havens were those that believe in freedom and equality can live. And all who dwell there know the secret code... The way of speaking which conveys the truth yet avoids all suspicion...

We are the rebellion. We fight for freedom and equality for all those who roam the earth. We reject the Blood Queen and battle against her tyranny. Will you join us?

There are rules to this thread. Like always, please follow the basic rules of Menewsha. I don't mind if you guys swear, but please no sex... I doubt you'd get sex on here anyways. But please... For the children's sake...

Anyways. Other than that it's pretty basic. Please do not post in the RP thread until I have accepted your bio here. There is no posting order, but please do not post so often that one player is skipped and as such left out... We follow the motto "No man (or woman) left behind."

Not really, but you get the idea.

Anyways. Characters that are way too powerful are no fun to RP with. No god-moding, and no creating characters whose abilities are off the charts. If this happens, I will reprimand you. However, you won't have to completely throw out the character. I am willing to compromise...

However one thing I won't negotiate is that all characters only have ONE element that they can control. Although all elements have a counterpart, you only get ONE. So choose the one that fits best and live with it. It would be very complicated to change halfway through...

Other than that, Have fun! I hope for this to be a fun and interesting RP. We aren't accepting people now, but that's only so that Salvaria and I can get things going. Once everything is set up, I hope to see people joining in on the fun. :D

All elements have a counterpart. Elementals that control each other's counterparts tend to get along the best, and as such tend to be the ones that marry. The counterparts are basically the other half of an element, which is why elementals with coinciding elements get along so incredbly well. I will list the pairings of elements here. And, as I come up with more, I will add on to it.

Chaos - Order
Fire - Smoke
Water - Ice
Air - Wind
Electricity - Storm
Light - Shadows
Nature - Metal
Flora - Fauna
Spirit - Dream
Blood

Elements and their counterparts will be added as I think of them. Any ideas, feel free to help out.

Now this is what the elements do. Each element has three levels of use, small, medium, and large. The amount of level usage is most often going to be 5 small, 3 medium, and 1 large. If it is different I will clarify in the elements paragraph. Once you post, I will put in my next post ((in double parenthesis)) what level it was, and once you have expended your power I will tell you that you are out. In this case your character must have a good 8-hour nap in order to recharge their batteries, so to speak. There are many ways to use all the elements, besides the ones listed here. So please, be creative! If you come up with something new, I'll let you know what type of use it is in my next post.

Also, as a special sort of added bonus, each elemental child cannot be harmed by their element. So, attacking a Fire Child with fire is kind of pointless...

Chaos Children can influence people's actions. It can be little things like switching to decaf coffee, or it can be a totally harmless person suddenly "deciding" to go out and kill somebody. The latter, of course, would be a very large use. It can only be used once a day, and completely drains the Child to the point of utter exhaustion, where they can barely even stand. A medium use would be

Order Children can, just like Chaose children, influence people's actions and their way of veiwing things. However, unlike Chaos children, Children of Order tend to bend people toward the side of good.

Fire Children can, as the element suggests, control fire. They can either create fire (the level of usage being directly proportional to the size of the fire), or bend the fire to their will. For example, a large use for a Child of Fire would be to take a small flame and enlarge it, then molding it so that it took on a shape. This shape could be anything from a shield of fire to fiery tentacles that lash out at you as you draw near. A medium use would be fireballs that you can throw at an object/person, and a small use would be making a fire. Unfortunately, however, you cannot use a large use if you have done anything else that day. So, for instance, you can't spend a small use to make a fire and then a large use to make it dangerous.

Smoke Children can manipulate smoke. Which is, in this world, any air that has foreign particles in it. Examples would be smoke, mist, gasses, anything visible. So laughing gas would not be counted as "smoke", whereas chlorine gas would, since chlorine gas is visible. But you don't have to be that specific. Just saying "gas" or "smoke" or "mist" will do fine. A small use would be to make the smoke fill a small room. A medium use would be shaping the smoke and possibly manipulating it's color, therefore creating an illusion. And a large use would be forcing the smoke into someone's body, therefore suffocating them, or temporarily taking them over. This is, of course, avoidable by the person being affected, but certain requirements must be met. We'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

Water Children can, as the name suggests, manipulate water. This could be anything from making a splash (small use) to forming a rain cloud and making it rain (large use). However Water has two sides to the equation. You have the benign uses, such as creating a small puddle (small use), filling a pool or pond (medium use), creating a bubble of water (medium use), or the aforementioned calling of rain (large use). On the other hand, you could make the water dangerous. Such as molding it into a certain shape or throwing it at somebody. The first is a medium use, and the second is a small use.

Ice Children control ice. They can change water into ice (differing levels depending on the amount of water), or make the area around them colder (large use). Also, if there is enough ice already around, they can form it into something (dependent on size). Small uses would be shifting a small puddle of water into ice, or turning a small area of rain into hail. A medium use would be turning a medium-sized puddle, or a small pond, into ice. Also, forming the ice into a distinct shape, or making a decent area of rain turn into hail. Large uses would be turning a sea into ice, forming huge amounts of ice (like a glacier) into a distinct shape, or turning an entire rainstorm into a hailstorm.

Air Children

Wind Children

Electricity Children

Storm Children

Light Children

Shadows Children

Nature Children

Metal Children

Flora Children can control the growth of plants, such as causing a seed to sprout or maturing a sapling into a young tree. Small uses would be

Fauna Children

Spirit Children

Dream Children

Blood Children

Lastly is the format for the bios. There's two bios. The one for Elementals, and the one for normal humans, or peasants. All Elementals are known as "__ Child", the blank being the element they are linked to. For example, an Elemental of Fire would be known as a "Fire Child".

We are in a time that is before guns and serious technology, however medicine, indoor plumbing, and clothing is still the same as it is now. Except for the fact that there aren't huge hospitals... There are just small ones...

Elemental
Name: This is the name of the Elemental.
Gender: This is the gender of the Elemental
Age: This would be how old your Elemental is.
Element: This is the element the Elemental has the ability to control. Please remember you are only limited to one.

Other: And then there's all the stuff we need to know that hasn't been clarified by the above sections. Elementals typically don't fight with weapons because they can use their abilities, but if your Elemental prefers to use one anyway, please describe that weapon here. Also, if they have a deathly fear of the color pink... You could put that here too.

Age: The age of your character... Pretty self-explanatory so far.
Pesonality: How your character would behave in any given situation. You know. The usual.

Weapons: Whatever your character would use in a fight. And if the answer is "anything they can get their hands on", please list a favorite weapon, or whatever they prefer to fight with.
Other: Anything else we might possibly need to know about your characters. Please, spare no gory details.

Ok. This thread is now open for bios and posts.

Finally...

And I would like to thank Diamond for condensing this all into such an easy-to-read format. Good job : D

Also, Diamond, thank you for changing all of this.



'The first time they got beaten by their father'? ROFL. I'll be sure to include that in my bios.

Shall I put the bios of the bad guys up here? I don't think people usually do that...

To your question, Dia: I believe that it would be good to put up the bios. But don't go extremely in dept on history and personality.


Name: Zheydien [Zay-de-en]
Gender: Male
Deity of: Electricity
Personality: Zheydien is usually pretty talkative and animated. When he gets vehement, he is LOUD. Especially when he's mad. And sometimes, he just randomly explodes with no discernible reason. It's a good thing that Solia is really good at calming him down. He is very quick and calculative when needed to be, though.
Mate of: Solia
Appearance:
As Deity: His eyes are bright electric yellow. When he gets mad, they glow. His hair is mainly black, but it has many yellow streaks in it. It's long, and constantly stands on end. He wears a a long black jacket, and it's always open. The collar is bright yellow. His shirt underneath it is skin-tight, and dark gray. He wears light gray skinny jeans.
As Human: His eyes are hazel, but more gray than anything. His hair is not as long as it is in god-form, and it has only one yellow streak. He wears a black skin-tight tee, and his skinny jeans are dark gray with lightning-shaped bleach stains.
Other: Electric Children have the ability to have ever-present static electricity. It is stronger than normal static electricity, obviously. However, it can reach up to a foot when charged, and only a few inches when used frequently.

That sounds good. I am, by the way, going to use this post right here for all the bios. Does anyone know how to make that collapsable thing on her that some people have? Otherwise the post might get kind of long...
