This world has always been a mysterious place. Legends and myths, they were all thought to have been fake, however, each of them contained a kernel of truth. Behind the scenes of history, there have been numerous conflicts since the early years of humanities rise, for humanity needed guides, but more importantly, protectors. What they received were the knights, a group of beings with the blood of the celestials, who’ve silently protected them for generations. From what one may ask. Well, those dark creatures that one hears, who go ‘bump’ in the night of course, and from themselves. But enough of history, time for the present. The current time is within the year 2280. A massive global catastrophe nearly destroyed the planet two hundred years before. It was at this time that the knights revealed themselves to humanity, for without their guidance, the humans, who had been crippled technology and military wise, needed their help desperately. With the aid of their protectors, the world became a cleaner, more efficient place, but at the cost of humanities ability to use their own judgment in global matters, for they nearly destroyed the planet once, the knights wouldn’t give them a chance to do it again.
One may step into this world as a knight, who are immortal beings, at least in the matter of age. Decapitation, dismemberment, incineration, etc, those kind of things may still kill them, but they are still very hard to kill otherwise. The young knights who have yet to mature, or master their powers may either wander the planet and explore, or take up lessons at the Academy for knights, a massive structure, miles wide, thousands of feet high, a place where one is sheltered from all but themselves. It is at the academy where knights are trained to fight, trained in matters of lore, machinery, healing, magic, just about anything that matters. This is a new age, and not every needs to be out fighting.
For those who wish to walk the world as enigmas, there is the reaper, either half blood or full blooded, they live just as long as knights, though they lack rapid regeneration, and their blood, when heated, is explosive, literally, and poisoness, in case someone thinks of biting them. These are men and women who must always walk in shadow, for the sunlight hates their skin, just as badly as their immortal foes, the sanguine vampiric race. They report directly to Grimm, the master reaper, and their duty is to find stray souls of those who have not walked the path to damnation or serenity, and bring them to their respective paths. Their counterpart, the vampires, they have integrated into society in such a way, that in order to keep them from feeding on the public, there are specific blood banks meant for those afflicted by this virus. However, some of the more ancient vampires…..they have a few extra perks, such as a transformation that leaves them nearly bullet proof, oh, and the sunlight doesn't burn them, however, they are strongest at night, same as the reapers.
If one wants to shed the blood of the innocent, there is the hellhound, a situation, where one who is a knight, a human, or some other respective race, changes at will into a seven to ten foot creature with bow legs, massive claws, and the head of hound from hell, whose body is covered in flame and corrupted red armor. When in this form, they are plagued by a rage that is hard to control, and may commit acts of great strength and brutality, such as tossing a limo at some unsuspecting bystanders. For those who wish for the cold, there are the zangerians, a race of many shades who live within the artic, though some are known to explore the earth. The females only ever reach about six feet, and that’s their tallest, while the males tower over them at seven feet minimum. Most males are born with four arms, however, the ones born with two are twice as strong. They regenerate, some are born with the blood of the celestials, so they are granted very long life, and the cold cannot faze them.
The final race I have to give you is the halfbloods, ones who are directly descended from either a demon, or a celestial. They carry their parents respective traits, and power, no matter who they are descended from, they are equally destructive, or equally helpful. Just because a person carries the blood of an evil being, doesn’t mean they’ll use it for that purpose, the same goes for one who carries the blood of a righteous being.

Play the races the way you wish, for this is a free world, fight, play around, get into politics, assassinate the politicians, mess around, build a compound, experiment with science, research into the past, cut your own path, defend the law, break it the same day, be a bard, be a poet, run a business, blow up someone else’s. And for those who really want to be evil, when the character, Dageroth shows up, I recommend you join him to cause some real disasters, while those who wish for the ultimate good should join anyone with the last name, Mystic(name is reserved for characters that’ll be important to the plot.) However, the true cutters of their own path, shall be rewarded the most in the end. For combat, fight as you would wish, but don’t kill another person’s character, unless of course they say they wanna be killed off. Oh, and for the love of Nihil, please, please use proper grammar.
One may come up with their race within this world, as long as they explain it at some point. The rules for characters here are of course, no god mode, for there are no defined gods within this world anyway, and anyone who chooses to create such a character WILL NOT RECEIVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, or my respect. Secondly, characters may have numerous powers, but for the amount of powers they are given, they must have drawbacks to every ability, and their powers must be explained. Age wise, act the age of your character, though I’d recommend having characters 18 and up. If they are ancient, then say their actual age, and then the age which they appear as. One must also name their weapon specialty, or simply say jack of all trades, their race, hybrids are allowed, as are custom races, give a short physical description of their character, and though its not required, a little background info may hel p as well. Oh, and you must explain where your character is currently located, their start destination really. Finally, the best part about this world, is one may stick to their own story, or proceed with others, so that if you miss out on part of the thread, no biggie, you can jump right back in. You may have multiple characters, but you must indicate your characters, either through a change in text style, such as making the text bold, or italic, or by changing the color of your text as well. I’ll leave to let people decide whether they want to join into this world of freedom or not, good day.
This is how you put your character in:

Sadly, I guess I need to place some rules in bold, which sucks for me. Anyways, no one hit kills, especially on other people's characters. If you're fighting a random enemy, well, if you have an exact way to take them out in a single hit, you have to describe it, not just stabbing in the heart, shooting them up, and if you cut someone's head off, well, think of how tough that would be for anyone without super strength. Also, weaknesses, for Nihil's sake, you need to have weaknesses, or else your character will seem invincible, and no one will like it. If you have any questions, PM me, or Miss Elegant Serenity, I am the moderator of this thread, and she is the Co-Moderator, because I'm horrid at organization, and she's awesome at it. Thank you peeps, also, stay away from Lamia's cookies.


Okay then, so, to do a little summary of what the story is, well, at least the established one, anyone can have their own story in this thread, I'm just placing the story built behind my characters. The Mystics are a family of Knights who've been fighting an organization led by the cloaked archer, Dageroth, for thousands, and thousands of years. Grey Mystic, the eldest of Serriola Mystic's children, is leading this fight, or he was. He's been captured at the moment, though, he only did this in attempt to bring back Pyro Mystic to the side of his own family. Grey may be imprisoned, but his reach into the outside world still extends, will you be there to answer?

-ENTITIES-

So people may have a bit of confusion about how these things are made, and what the hell they actually are. Basically, they are the true essence of something, and feed off of that essence within the world. There are few ways to destroy them, though the sure fire way is extremely difficult. If they give up their power to a mortal, or immortal being, they become flesh and bone, they are vulnerable to death. They become as vulnerable as a damn human. If the human, immortal being, or whatever they placed their power into is killed or destroyed, their power is dispersed into the world, and the entity becomes nothing more than an aspect of this planet. Few have chosen this path. The other ways to destroy them are unknown to anyone living on the planet, only beings such as Lucifer know. So far, there are three established entities, and one being hinted at.

Genesis- The seed of evil, the first murder, he is the very essence of this. He gains his power from the merciless killing of beings, and is the most hated, and perhaps dangerous of the entities, for he also unpredictable. Normally, he strikes randomly, but if he chooses you as his target, be assured, your life will be a living hell............

Dageroth- Treachery, backstabbing, shooting the messenger. Each of these only hints at this scum bag of a entity. He and Genesis used to be one, though thanks to the actions of Occidio, the hybrid of heaven and hell, the damage they could have caused together was avoided. Dageroth leads a group of the most powerful warriors on the planet, no, they aren't warriors, they're murderers, they're monsters, they are what goes bump in the night, and what one fears when their eyes are opened and closed.

Oblivion- True destruction, endless destruction, and he's working for the Mystics, living with the prodigy, Grey Mystic. Too bad using too much of his power destroys the body of the one he is within. He is mysterious, and for once, his powers are being used to crush the evil which threatens the planet. How long can this last?

Omega- The power to end all life as we know it, and create new life. Plain and simple. Its been hinted at that he lived within Lone, and is now within Grey, probably what balances out Oblivion at times.

Shinimagami

Nijuu turned to Livia and smiled softly. "I can take care of myself." She commented. "I just need to sort some things out." She added, as she walked out of the building.
Tynan merely closed his eyes for a second, then re-opened them. On one hand he could understand why Nijuu would want some time to clear her head; however, on the other hand, the question of the threat her own father poses on her disturbed him greatly.
At first, Nijuu walked through a park, sitting at one of the benches. The many songs being sung by the birds seemed barely calm Nijuu's restless feeling spirit. She sighed softly, and looked down at the shoes on her feet. They were beautiful...too beautiful for her own feet..in her opinion. She took a deep breath, then got up off the bench, and made her way back to the street.
As she walked through the street, she pulled up the hood on her cloak, and made her way to a grassy area...looking more like a picnic area of sorts. She walked over to the grass, pulled down the hood of her cloak, and sat down. She closed her eyes and began to reflect on the information that she had received.

OOT- way sorry it took me a very long time to reply...I couldn't get on to the site for the longest time

While in the arms of Serenity, Grey laughed in enjoyment as they soared over the city.

Livia, having been suspicious of how long it took for the lady to get back, had followed her, and approached as soon as she saw she was in danger.

Occidio was stabbed through the chest with a demonic blade, as hellfire began to burn him, only for him to spin around, and slam his chest into the man who attacked him.

serenity smiled hearing her husband laugh
"is there anywhere you would like to go"

Grey looks up at her, "How about this....." He drops out of her arms, and immediately draws his wings from his back before flying up next to her.

serenity looked at him concerned
"but doesnt that hurt, are you gonna be ok to fly on your own i just dont want anything to happen to you"

Grey looks up at her, smiling while he moves around her. "I don't mind the pain....not as long as I can observe your beauty my dearest wife........"

serenity smiled
"well as long as your happy my love, just be careful not to strain yourself too much"
she watched as he moved around her
"so i wonder how long we have to rest this time before something comes up. we seem to always run into trouble when we are trying to rest"

Grey smiles, "I figure....taking a break from the conflicts around us will be a nice change of pace.....hopefully we can keep it that way........" He flew up and above her.

"i hope so too it seems we never get any rest, and if we do they are very short"
she smiled and took off flying away from him

Grey turned and immediately flew after her, faster than normal it seemed, as his body seemed to become lighter. He caught up to her, and tapped the back of her head. "Gotcha!"

she looked up at him and smiled
"not quite yet"
she then went into a free fall headed straight towards the ground she turned herself and spread her wings just inches from hitting the ground flying in the opposite direction

Grey's body moved at an unnatural rate of ease as he flipped around after her, though he was beginning to tire out as he pursued her.

serenity looked back at him
"are you doing ok? if this is too much we can rest a bit"

Grey flew up higher, high above her even. "Well....it is a bit tiring......two extra limbs and all.....but I want to continue......."

she watched as he went higher and higher
"are you sure you will be ok, remember what happened last time your pushed yourself"

Grey looks down at her, his body seeping with shadow, "Well, last time I didn't make my body so light.....so refreshed......" He spiraled down toward her on purpose.

Arron finished firing his clip off into his target and flew out to inspect it.
"that is a really nice grouping." he looked around the target range he was in like it was something he'd never seen before.
"can't believe that something like this was build by grey's company, and it was nice of him to offer a invitation onto his ship to come."
he took out his pistols as targets popped out around.
"he really knows how to train, doesn't he?"

when she saw him spiral towards her she panicked and started flying towards him thinking he was falling

Grey retracted his wings, and at that moment, stopped in middair, right as he was looking Serenity in the eyes. "I've decided to rely on my own power for now.......and the power I can use......the shadows.......they grant me a greater deal of peace than you might know....." He leaned in and kissed her, still in the air.

when he retracted his wings she stopped and let out a sigh of relief
"dont scare me like that, i thought you were falling"
she kissed him back when he leaned in and kissed her
"im glad you have decided to use your own power, and that it grants you peace i hate to see you all stressed out and worried all the time"
she flew closer and wrapped her arms around him

Grey's face becomes warm as she hugs him, so he simply kisses her upon the forehead this time. "I did it all for you my dear.........."

she smiles and looked up at him
"and everything i do i do for you my love. i love you so much "
she smiles
"are you enjoying yourself?"

Grey takes her hands with his, still floating in the air as his skin turns back, and he becomes partially one with the shadows, while maintaining a physical form. "I am.......I darkest dark.....and you.....you are the lightest light my dear.........and it makes me so happy............" He floats upward, faster than before, his entire body seeping with shadow, but not in the malevolent manner.
