Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ages ago there existed deities that made up the fabric of our world. The deities lived in harmony with the humans that Birth, the deity of life had bestowed upon the earth. All was well for years until the remnants of Karma was found dead. Karma judged over the good and evils of the world and was the closest sister to Birth.
This event threw the world into utter chaos. The deities had blamed the humans for the death of their sister, while the humans blamed the deities. It was no easy task to kill a deity.Birth decided to stop the fighting between her creations and her brothers and sisters, so the deities ascended to the heavens to govern over the earth there. Many many years had passed. The chaos settled on the earth, leaving the humans to live out their existence. Birth was concerned about her brother Reaper, the deity that governed over death. Being the only deity to ever descend to earth,
His job was to find a place for the souls of the deceased and to
watch the other deities to prevent another war. It had seemed that Reaper was making unnecessary trips down to earth, and that humans started developing strange powers. Soon the earth fell into dismay. The trees started dying, the lakes turning
crimson red. The most alarming, humans were dying at an alarming rate. Reaper had gone rogue against his fellow deities.
He had descended to earth in hopes of supremecy over his sister Birth. Reaper bestowed the abnormal powers on the humans, all had the chance to control them, while the others were doomed to death, or worst. Birth was stuck. She couldn't descend on the humans for the vow that she had made. With no other options she sent a message to a human, to gather the power needed to stop her brother.

Rules:
1. No godmodding (this one should be the obvious one)

Username:Yizel
Name:Tsuliria
Weapon (if any): Seven small blades and an imitation reaper scythe
Power (If any):Tsuliria controls the chains of Lament, bounded to her skin by the reaper she uses three forms to attack her enemies and further her goal.

1st form.
Lamentation- In this form she uses the chains themselves as weapons hitting her opponent repeatedly, she's also known to constrict her opponent however she cannot do so against stronger opponents.
She is able to draw four chains out without consequence but prefers only using two since the last two cause her some discomfort.
She can pull out more but at a cost.

2nd form-
Atonement- Using the seven blades she attaches them to her chains making her attacks deadlier as she sends a combination of force and sharpness at her opponent repeatedly, she still prefers two and to avoid complications doesn't like using all seven blades.

Final form-
Reapers Apprentice- Combining the chains of Lament and the Seven bladed sins she creates an imitation scythe, this is the only form where she can use any form or dark arts but the chains of Lament can't be used in this form which makes her close in on her opponent for Melee.

Talents: Thanks to her training with Reaper and the Chains of Lament she is more resilient to pain and was forced to become stronger to stay alive.

Weaknesses:With the power she holds comes a sacrifice, the Chains of Lament always harm their user upon use meaning Tsuliria can't overuse the chains for too long less she gain more wounds from herself than her enemy.
The seven bladed sins require blood to use...the more blades used, the more blood required.

Finally with her final form due to the limitation Reaper put on her to keep her power in balance she can't stay in the form for a long amount of time as it drains from her spirit as a cost for it's use.

History: Tsuliria is no longer alive.
Memories plagued her mind as darkness started to close in on her vision, crimson flowing from her mouth.
However, before her soul could pass to the next world a man stood in her path with a grin on his pale face.
Raising his finger he pointed a finger at her and spoke the words that haunt her to this day.
"You might be of some use."
With that she awoke next to the man who introduced himself as Reaper and informed her that he was holding her soul hostage offering a deal for it's exchange...with no other choice she agreed and thus began her life in the shadow of Reaper.

Username:Sir Blackout

Name: Sigmund Mordikai Mikhael, 15 years old

Weapon (if any): Summoned Energy Blades

Power (If any): Mordikai can summon all sorts of swords and blades made of pure energy from a separate dimension, and control all of their movements. He taps into his ability with the help of an off kind of mathematical equations.

Limitations: One, I can only keep one equation going at a time without writing it down; if I start a new one, the previous blades disappear. Two, I have to have use of at least one of my hands to utilize the ability. Three, the longer the equation, the longer it takes to complete; a one-step is almost instantaneous, but a three-step is closer to half a minute. Finally, every step in the equation will always do the same thing.

Talents: Mordikai is a polymath; he's extremely skilled with mathematical equations and applying them to real-world situations in the blink of an eye. He's also very good at collecting information and hiding in crowds, because he appears to be a young, trustworthy boy who couldn't harm a fly.

Weaknesses: Mordikai is extremely tempermental, and finds it difficult to suffer conceited and ignorant people. Also, while he's fit and agile, he's also fairly weak, so fighting without the use of his ability is difficult for him.

History: Mordikai was raised from birth by his older sister, his mother having died in childbirth and his father dying while trying to protect his children. Up until recently, Mordikai had lived with his sister in the suburbs of a large port city; Mordikai was a loner, who spent his time helping his sister with her work and wandering about along a deserted beach.

Just recently, shortly after Reaper touched down on earth, Mordikai found his sister dead in cold blood, just outside the city gates. Standing over her body was none other than Reaper himself. "She didn't have to die," He told Mordikai, watching blood seap from the girl's lifeless body. "Deities really have no right to dictate who should die. This blood that stains my scythe...the idea that her blood stains my blade, a death that was not necessary, sickens me."

"But perhaps we can change things," he continued slyly. "Perhaps, without foolish deities to dictate human lives, she can even be brought back. Death is my power, and even I do not know. Perhaps...but I cannot do it alone. I know of the power you wield. Join me, help me overthrow those conceited fools...and we'll see what we can do for her."

Obviously, it didn't take any more than that to convince Mordikai. To get his sister back, Mordikai would stop at nothing; certainly not the murder of countless people.

Username: 5Bulletproof-Marshmellows
Name: Flora Reis
Weapon (if any): She has different kinds of knives and a boomerang that happens to be made out of blades.
Power (If any): Flora has the ability to sprout owl like wings. It is a painful process that takes about a minute or two (it came take less if she feels like she is in danger) but they also can go back under her skin when she desires to do so.
Fire is something that she can also control but she can not create it.
Talents: She is a good fighter but is an artist as well.
Weaknesses: If her wings are soaked with water there is no way that she can take off.
History: Flora doesn't have much of a history. She was left alone at the age of three, her parents had died when the Reaper had come to visit earth. After that she decided to go out on her own, get her own food, that type of thing. She's been that way ever since though she does have more to her than meets the eye.

Username: Miss-Ran

Name: Mirela

Weapon (if any): Violin

Power (If any): By manipulating the sound waves produced from her violin, Mirela is able to perform different actions. These actions are based on the tempo and mood of the melodies played.

Talents: Mirela is a dancer, thus allowing her to move quickly on her feet and gracefully maneuver away from some incoming attacks.

Weaknesses: Since Mirela’s power is based purely on her violin and the sound waves produced from it, any place where sound cannot travel will render her useless. Also, if her violin is broken or taken out of her possession, she cannot use her power.

History: Mirela has no memories of her father. Ever since she was young, Mirela entertained travelers who stopped to rest on the road by dancing while her mother provided music from a violin. While she wasn’t performing, her mother would teach her how to play the violin so she would be able to play for her family in the future.

The strongest memory in her mind is that of emerging from the tent which she called home only to find her mother laying on the ground in tears. After bringing her inside and calming her down, Mirela asked her mother about the reason for her tears. Her mother responded with a long mess of shakily, poorly spoken words. Mirela could only make out one thing from her mother’s babble, however. Reaper. She knew not the reason behind her mother’s distress; she only knew that Reaper had to do with it. For this reason and this reason alone she immediately left the tent to let off some steam.

She strode around, not knowing what to do. She wanted to protect her mother from everything else that would upset her, but how? The next thing Mirela knew, she was approached by a shadowed figure. Mirela quickly blocked the entrance to the tent and repeatedly asked the figure its name. She received no answer, only an offer.

”You wish to protect your mother, correct? I can help.”

Naïve, Mirela quickly jumped to the offer. She begged the figure to help her protect her mother and was relieved to hear a positive response. Mirela grew slightly uneasy, however, after gazing upon the sly smile upon the figure’s face. At this point, her mother’s cry could no longer be heard. Mirela quickly turned to make sure her mother was alright, but her eyes grew wide at what she saw.

Her mother was gone. Frantically, Mirela turned to scream at the figure, only to see that it too had vanished. Dropping to her knees, tears began to erupt from her eyes. Mirela stayed in the same location for a few hours before finally taking her mother’s scarf and violin. Wrapping the scarf around her waist, she sat a few feet away from the tent and began to play, to mourn for her lost mother. She played, unaware of the time-bomb she had engaged. By the end of her short melody, Mirela found herself blown far back from where she was sitting. She quickly looked up to see what had caused the blast and saw that there was hardly anything left of the tent. It was at that moment she realized the existence of the power within her; the one to protect her mother— Even though her mother was not around to protect.

Username: Miss-Ran

Name: Inae

Age: 18

Weapon (if any): Small dagger kept in a strap around her left leg, resting on her thigh.

Power (if any): Inae calls upon the power of Accersitus Fortuna, (a name that she has given her power herself), using the cards of the Major Arcana Tarot as her tools. Each card releases a summon, (each with its own ability) and can only be activated after the name and number of the card has been spoken. The power of the card depends on the number belonging to it. (Ex. 0 – The Fool is the weakest, while 21- The World is the most powerful.)

Weaknesses: Being a small girl in many ways, Inae has a hard time reaching tall places. She hates being picked up, and will do everything she can in order to get away. If she’s interrupted while summoning, the target of the summon will be rendered useless for a short period of time.

History: Inae had always lived with her father, since her mother had died after giving childbirth. This along with the guilt of not being around to protect his first daughter caused her father to become quite protective over Inae. After Inae turned fifteen, she began to charge city-folk for Tarot readings in order to bring in a little more money.

On her eighteenth birthday, her father came home looking a little more off than usual.

“Be careful,” He had told her. “There’s nothing but chaos outside, finish up your reading and then we need to close up for the night.”

Inae had seemed confused when she saw a look of horror on her father’s face.

Inae had returned to her reading, shrugging the incident off as nothing until her father yelled angrily at the man sitting before her.

“Get out of here! Stay away from my daughters!”

Inae opened her mouth in order to correct her father, however stopped as the strange man was seen exiting the building. The words that he spoke as he was leaving sent chills down her tiny spine after being paired with the devilish grin that followed—

“Good luck with your next reading. We’ll meet again.”

Struck with fear, Inae quickly brought her attention back to her cards to see that they had all been flipped face down, with only one remaining face up—
Death.

After hearing a lengthy explanation about her father’s past, Inae made a vow to herself to find her older half-sister, wanting to meet her.

Sure enough, Inae began her journey the following morning.

Username: Masaruu

Name:Yamaru Igaki (Yama for short)

Weapon (if any): Carries a small hand axe, but prefers his claws

Power (If any):After awakening to his powers, he found himself bound to the wolf spirit said to protect his village. The tattooing on his body glows before releasing his bestial claws, his resemblance to the spirit bound to his soul.

Talents:Being bound to a wolf spirit, his sense of smell and hearing is enhanced in his released form. His speed is increased greatly increased while his spirit is released and his nails are hard as diamonds.

Weaknesses:Whilst released his temper is easily flared, leading to recklessness in battle. His attention is easily averted.

History: Yama comes from the snowy mountains overlooking the capital city. Being the youngest of two sons, he was deemed guardian by his brother once he became village leader. The siblings fought for power over the head of the village, but every time his brother came out on top.

"You're not cut out to lead this village Yama. Go back to defending the gate, where you belong."

The night Reaper descended, Yama was standing at his post, the hatred for his brother brooding in the air. It was then the voices filled his head.

"Well well, you seek power to defeat your brother...I can give it to you."

It was then when Yama had awakened, the extreme pain filled his body as his body changed, his arms growing thick gray fur and his nails growing long and razor sharp. A howl filled the air as he had seen what he had become.

Yama has now left his village, searching for the man that made him this beast, searching for the power and skills to beat his brother and take his village.

Vanity- An ethereal mirror that once looked into, shows the user their inner self

Sloth- An unearthly pocket watch made of black metal which distorts time and time fields.

Name: Birth

"Virtue, be a dear and smack Luck for me"

The deity of life and birth. She resides in the heavens with her other siblings and overlooks the progress of the humans. Since Reaper's defect, she's been scrambling to make a counter attack but with limited resources. Her envoy, Jazz, being the only real line of attack at the moment.

Virtue, her closest sibling, has finished preparations on the gate between the world of the deity's and the humans. Birth is now on her way to confront her rouge envoy and to face her brother Reaper.

Weapons: Birth has no real weapon. Similar to jazz she can wield light, but being a deity, her power trumps Jazz'.

The deity who governs over Judging, she is the one who instigated the war between Reaper and Birth and caused the humans to fight each other.
After Reaper’s death she has descended to earth to judge the beings who fought with each other.
Judgment is now bringing forth the end of the world.

Clink
The sound echoed through the field as the spear went flying in an alternate direction, a woman standing in it's original path, her right hand was extended and upon closer inspection a chain was wrapped around her hand.
Upon lowering her hand the chain sunk back into her long sleeves that covered most of her arm minus the tips of her fingers.
The air around her seemed lifeless to a point even the flowers seemed to lean away from her as she walked through them.

"I was woken up because of this....."
The woman's glowing yellow eyes settled on the man currently sprinting in her direction, her long dark hair blew behind her before she started walking towards him a black chain falling out of her left sleeve, she gripped it and kept her steady walking pace her gaze focused on the man closing in.
Her face held a blank expression devoid of any emotion and she staggered a little as she walked, reaching up she rubbed sleep from her eyes with her sleeve.

"Because of you the little sleep I obtained has been interrupted."
She raised the chain once before slamming it on the ground causing the petals of the flowers to pop up and hover in front of her as her eyes formed into a glare.
"I will beat you and use your corpse as my pillow for your insolence!"

She took a step the chain reacting with her movements shivered as she extended her arm and threw the chain directly at the man aiming for his chest.
The black chain moved back and forth but remained focused on it's target, the owner's hatred pouring into the metal.

"Running at me full force, you must be a fool. Why don't you tell me your name so I can mark it on your tombstone."

She staggered for a little and put her hand over the side of her face letting out a small yawn.
She pulled the chain back to her upon it hitting him, the chain rested on the ground as she watched him summon two orbs before taking hold of the chain with her hand, the chain clinked with her touch and seemed to go still as her eyes took on a dazed look.
The seven daggers resting on the back of her clothing clinked as she continued moving toward him.


She threw the chain in the air before moving it over Jazz, moving her right boot back as she slammed it down towards Jazz while doing so she flexed her other hand, her eyes narrowing as she moved her other hand to the top of her chain to control it's momentum, she felt her sleep closing in on her once again.

Looking up at the the man who called himself Jazz she nodded before throwing the chain to the ground attaching the chain to the ground before turning back to the orbs.
She raised her right arm a chain coming out of her sleeve only to have the two of the lights hit her, she glanced at them before stepping on the chain.

"My name is Tsuliria."
With those words she pushed down on the chain causing it to shatter into nothingness, she jumped towards the still falling jazz a chain in her left hand.
"Remember it, for your fate was decided the moment you met me."
