Welcome to Gaia! ::

The City of Rawley, a sprawling metropolis of towering skyscrapers, a bustling financial district where men in suits scurry about, trying to make their financial windfall, high end stores sell their wares to the people. A forked river reaches to the sea, creating a central island part of the city, and the port wharves groan with warehouses and containers packed with goods. Even the lower class end of the city seems to bustle with activity, and poverty is at a low, the number of those without homes or work is negligible. Many sports teams call Rawley home, and the Tech Center hosts many science and cultural events throughout the year. Despite the high functioning nature of the city, there is still crime, or was. No one is quite sure when or where they came from, but a protector with unbelievable super powers rose from the dust to defend the city, Petty crime, terror attacks, even the occasional giant monster attack all repelled by this protector. By day, the sun shines and reflects off the glorious buildings, and at night the bright city lights illuminate the world, but cast long shadows. It is in these shadows that the biggest threat to the Protector arose, spawned by greed and fear and malice that lies in the hearts of men, who feared that should this " Protector" not be truly on the side of the angels, they would be defenseless. And so it was they brought into being a Destroyer, a being whose purpose was to conflict with this hero. What they did not count on was his utter disgust with being controlled, and now, even they must fear the monster of their own making.


Fire erupted from a store front, a roiling clod of smoke poured from the shattered window, alarm ringing with frenzied panic. From the smoke stepped a young man, clad in red and black, blood red hair hung over his face, concealing the red and black eyes so many had come to fear in the city. "haha, so easy, it's almost like they WANT me to take their stuff." He cackled to himself with a certain amount of glee. What he really wanted, though, was the protector's attention. After all, the protector was the reason for his existence, and two forces like that could never stay apart for long. Cause enough chaos and pandemonium and they were bound to show up.

" Come out Come out, and Play with me! " He called, flicking his finger in the direction of the street corner, and another explosion of fire launched a mailbox into the air, soaring twenty feet before crashing to the ground with a loud clatter. " Or dont you like me any more?" He asked the empty air, adopting a hurt tone.

OOC: Sorry this took so long, I had to get my head squared away on this!

The rush of water signaled Alvara's arrival, and soon the sweeping current washed away the signs of his misdeeds. She berated him for the destruction, but there was no way she could understand. Water splashed across him, striking with probably more force than the protector had intended, but Drex had the unfortunate tendency to invoke her ire. He staggered back, but only for a moment as he lurched forward again, clothes and skin steaming. " Splish Splash, I like Ash." He laughed, swinging an arm violently in her direction, a torrent of flame searing forth from his gesture. " Go Away, Go Away, always the same with you. I cant go away. I need, no have to have you close. You just dont get me. No one does."

Wisps of flame marked his breath now that he was engaging against the protector. His existence was made, just for the sole purpose of beating her, and no matter what actions he took, he always found himself drawn back to this never ending fight, a fight he was often on the losing end of. Not for lack of trying, though. He could raze an entire building down upon her and She'd pop back up like it had never happened. Still he had to try, the compulsion in the back of his mind like constant whisper.

" You'll have to make me go away forever, if that's what you want." His voice filled with seething heat.


[OOC: I am to please! Let me know if you get any fun ideas for these two!]

"Oh my dear, dear fool, afraid of you? Ha, Im not afraid of you, I NEED you." He told her strolling to the side, his dark eyes always watching her. " You are the reason I exist." She arched backwards, and the groan of the ground signaled the approaching attack. As the branches rushed forth from the darkness, he was surrounded in a wreath of flame, turning the branches to ash on contact. " Immaterial and insufficient. You know it won't be that easy. Now, lets try a fun little game." He grinned at her, his dark eyes burning with inner chaos. He then looked up at a nearby building, and one by one the windows on the outward facing side of the building erupted in gouts of flame.

" Oh my my, now surely there are people in THAT building. Poor dears, always crying for their protector, who brings them ORDER." he quipped, spitting the last word with vehement disgust. " Everyone knows that true power is derived from chaos."

" Now, get to work Alvara, you need to help the poor humans. or will you leave them to burn, and try to stop me?"
