Our Current RP Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an age long since forgotten, Chaos ruled the world. An unspeakable
darkness plagued
this land we call Gaia. However, no mere mortal can now recall the true
occurrences of
that age; instead, the tales are like whispers in the night. Ceaseless
tales of heroes,
demons, forbidden knowledge, and mythical creatures haunted the dreams
of the weak
minded and innocent.
There was none who did not wonder, yet not one knew the truth. Was it
all real? What
happened centuries ago? What was this ‘Chaos’…and where did it go?
Little did the people of Gaia know, that there questions, would soon be
answered!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was year MMVI A.C. (2006 After Chaos)
For over two-thousand years, it had long since been a time of peace. The
occasional
arguments between nations were expected and quickly resolved with
peaceful talks and
diplomatic solutions; yet, whispered rumors of unrest and turmoil in the
West began to
entwine the thoughts of the people. Unspoken fears spread through their
hearts, faces that
have long since departed coursed in their minds, and memories of a time
long forgotten
began to flash horrors in their dreams.
The Second Age of Chaos had begun!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is now the year III S.C. (Year 3 of the Second Chaos)
In just three short years, the world had turned itself upside down!
Things that were
thought to be impossible are now commonplace. Truths have become lies
and nightmares
rule the darkness! The ancient rumors of demons, is a rumor no longer!
Knowledge that
had once been locked away has now been released; and all the whispers of
the past have
been proven true, all accept one…..the ‘heroes’!

A powerful warrior who fought in the original wars long ago.
His age is unknown. During the final fight against the Chaos he was
taken and frozen in time by the Faith; now, in a new age of turmoil, his
bonds have been released and he steps out of the space of time to fight
the Chaos once more.
Introduction of Sarevan Is'kelion
“Awaken Hero!” calls out a small voice, “Awaken, for Gaia is once
more in need of you.”
“Huh...my body…I can move,” says a young looking man as he crumples to
the ground, gasping for breath, “Where…where’s my…strength?”
“Patience Hero!” cries out the small voice, “Your strength will soon
return to you.”
After the mysterious hero has had his time to rest, he rises to his
feet.
“What could I have done to attract the Faith?” says the man as he begins
to look around, “and where am I? This place looks familiar; yet, I do
not think I know this land!”
“It’s been more than 2000 years since you were last here,” replied
the Faith, “things are bound to look different.”
“2000 years!” commented the man, “why in the…”
“You have been brought here to stop the terrible plague that has once
more been released upon this land. The Sages seals have been broken and
all that was withheld has been released.”
After a moment of silence, the man began to reply.
“I see,” replied the man, “I will do my part, that I will; however, I
can not do this alone.”
“You must seek out companions to aid you on this quest,” said the
Faith, “or better yet, let them come to you.”
“And what do you plan on doing all this time?” asked the man
“I will lend you what strength I can,” said the Faith, “I shall call
forth Aeons from the past to lend you their strength. One Aeon per
companion is all I can manage. When you meet warriors worthy enough,
bestow them with an Aeon that reflects their soul. That is all I can do
for you now. I must go.”
Moreover, with that being said, the Faith faded and vanished leaving the
man alone on the Great Gaia Plains.
“I’d better be off then,” said the man to himself, “There should be a
village a few miles from here…at least their used to be.
As the man neared the place where the village was, he was surprised
to find a large town in its place.
“This place sure has grown!” commented the man to himself again, “I
think I’ll check it out, that I will.

Introduction of Kyoshi Deishu
"Kyoshi Deishu," a voice in the
distance said. "Wake up, now".
"Just five more minutes mommy," Kyoshi said in his sleep.
"WAKE UP!" the voice yelled.
Kyoshi shot up out of bed in a heartbeat, shouting, "What the hell do
you want!?"
"I am the Faith and you must help the hero save Gaia" he/she/it said.
Kyoshi stared back, confused, and said "Okaaay, first of all, what the
hell are you talking about? And second, who do you think you are telling
me what to do? Now, please leave, and if this is about some war thing or
whatever, I'm not going, so leave."
The Faith became angered and replied "This is about a new Chaos, and you
are to help the hero, whether you like it or not."
"Well, guess what? I don't like it, so why should I go help some guy who
I don't even know save..." he paused, then continued "...a new Chaos? My
great great great great great great...5 minutes later... great great
grandfather saved Gaia with the original hero."
"That is exactly why you have been chosen to help save Gaia," the Faith
replied.
"So, I have to help save Gaia with the hero's very great relative?"
Kyoshi asked.
"No, you will save Gaia with the original Hero," the Faith explained.
Kyoshi sat in disbelief, speechless, he fainted and fell over off his
bed. The Faith woke him up and started explaining everything to Kyoshi.
After the Faith was finished explaining he/she/it left and Kyoshi got up
and said, "Well I'm off to a large city that the Faith didn't name, what
a damn bitch."
He packed his things and left to meet up with the legendary hero, still
alive even after 2000 years.

Introduction of Maikeru Rosu
Maikeru was meditating in a water cave when he heard a voice come
from behind him.
"Maikeru, you must go and meet the Hero." said the unknown voice
Maikeru broke his meditation when he heard the voice.
"Who's there? And who are you to tell me what to do?" I asked
"It is I, a Faith from the past. You have been chosen to help the
Hero, from 2000 years ago, to stop the new Chaos." said the Faith
"And if I don't?" I asked
"This is your own choice but if I remember right, the Hero was the
greatest warrior in history. Maybe you will learn something from him."
the Faith said
"Just for that, I will do it. Although if I don't learn a thing in
one years time I am leaving." I said
"Now go to the large city to the North of here and you will meet the
Hero." the Faith said.
The Faith disappeared. Maikeru grabbed his gear and left.

Introduction of Lorne Yukihime
I was sitting quietly in my hut thinking about what I was going to do
today; when all of a sudden I heard a voice, "Come help the hero save
the world from a new Chaos."
"Who are you and why should I help this hero?" I called out.
"Because it is your destiny," said the voice.
"Destiny smestiny, if I help this hero what do I get in return?" I
asked.
As I learned more about what was going on the voice told me it was an
ancient faith.
The faith continued, "You will learn many things from the Hero. You
should just come and see what you can learn."
As I started to gather my gear, I heard the Faith say to meet the
hero to the North.
As I readied myself I said, "What's the city to the North?"
The Faith simply replied, "Go".

By: Trogdor Jr. Introduction of Kia
Kia was training in a cave known only to him when he
heard a small voice at the entrance.
"Come here," said the voice
At first Kia was hesitant for one reason and that reason was that
considering only he knew about this cave, who ever the voice belonged to
had followed him and could mean him harm. But he decided to walk over
there But with one katana unsheathed half way.
"What do you want?" asked Kia
The voice replied, "I have come to tell you that the great hero of 2,000
years ago needs your help."
Kia, in a surprised way exclaimed, "The hero who defeated the Chaos?"
"Yes," replied the voice, "he is in the giant city to the east; if you
choose to help him."
Kia thought about it then decided to go saying to himself as he left.
"If the voice was telling the truth then I will finally get to meet the
hero that my Great Great Great Grandpa was friends with."

Introduction of
Ellyria Highwind
It was raining. Hard. Most
people had taken shelter indoors, because the raindrops felt more like
needles piercing their skin. Unfortunately, that also gave the drunks an
excuse to start their evening drinking early.
Ellyria Highwind sighed as she looked outside from the bar window. "This
rain needs to let up soon, I have to go out job hunting," she muttered
to herself, "Business has been bad lately, and a girl's gotta eat."
A very drunk looking man made hismelf comfortable on the stool beside
Ellyria while she was lost in thought. "Hey baby, why don't I buy you a
drink?" he asked in an incredibly slurred tone.
Ellyria threw a look at the man before turning away. "I think I'll pass.
Speaking of drinking, maybe you should ease up, eh?"
The man laughed. "Come on hunny, don't be like that," he replied as he
made an attempt to grab Ellyria's butt.
Now, Ellyria's motto has always been "Never Piss Off a Dragoon", which
the drunken man soon learned as he was hurled through the window.
Ellyria dusted herself off and cracked her knuckles. "Looks like this
isn't a good place for little old me to be anymore," she announced to
the other customers, who were staring at her in awe. With that, she put
her hooded cloak on and headed out into the rain.
The rain hadn't eased up at all, and soon she was completely soaked.
"Ugh, what's up with this crazy weather?" she muttered.
This way, a voice said.
Ellyria jolted, reaching for her spear. "Who's there?" she demanded.
Come this way. It's drier this way, the voice urged.
Perplexed, Ellyria followed the direction of the voice, soon to be
sheltered by a dense forest. "Well, it certainly is drier. Now, where
are you? What do you want?"
Chaos is coming again, just like 2000 years ago, Hero. You must band
together with others to stop it.
"Woah woah woah," Ellyria interrupted, "Listen you, whatever you are,
I'm a mercenary, not a superhero. You want people to save the world,
look elsewhere."
Wait, the voice said as Ellyria began to leave, You will meet
the original hero of the first War of Chaos. It would be a wise idea to
offer your aid.
Ellyria waved the voice off, "Yeah, whatever pixie. I'm out of here."
She spun around and headed back out into the rain.

Introduction of Damien Okinawa
Damien sat in the corner of
the bar, watching the events unfold. As he pushed his long silver hair
out of his good eye with his hand, he noticed the woman throw the drunk
that had come on to her out the window. He smirked slightly as the bar
went silent, everyone staring at the woman. She threw up her hood, and
walked outside.
Damien smiled to himself, before finishing his drink. He tossed a few
coins onto the table and stood up, his muscular form towering over those
sat near by. He slowly walked towards the door, but as he went to open
it, the drunk walked back in, bleeding from the cuts caused by the
glass.
“What was her problem?”
“The same as my problem,” Damien replied, as his hand drifted to his
sword.
“And what’s that?”
“You.”
With blinding speed, Damien drew his sword, Makurayami, and slammed the
drunk in the gut with the grip of the blade, sending him flying outside
again. Damien smiled, and stepped outside. The rain was coming down
harder then ever, but Damien barely noticed it. He took his bearings for
a couple of seconds, looking for the woman.
This way.
Damien stopped, a puzzled look on his face. The voice seemed to be
coming from a nearby forest.
Quickly.
Damien slowly started to follow the voice, Makurayami still in hand.
Cautiously moving forward, Damien entered the forest, just as the woman
was about to leave. The two stopped a few feet apart, and the woman
spoke.
“I suppose someone’s asked you to come after me. Perhaps that guy I
threw through the window.”
Damien didn’t answer immediately; instead he tightened his grip on the
sword in his hands.
“No… but I was in the bar.”
“So you think that you’re going to get some action? Is that why you
followed me?”
“Action? Only if you force me to. No… the reason I followed you was
because I’m impressed. Let me introduce myself… the name’s Damien
Okinawa, ex-Warrior Monk, now mercenary. You?”

Ellyria meets Damien
Ellyria smiled coyly at the
man named Damien. "Well, Damien Okinawa, I also happened to be a
mercenary. But, how well do you think you can wield that sword?"
With lightning fast reflexes, Ellyria drew her spear, Elune, and charged
the young man. Unfortunately for her, Damien seemed to have excellent
speed as well. He brought his sword up to parry Ellyria's attack, the
sound of metal against metal echoing through the rain.
Ellyria jumped back. "Tsk!" she muttered.
Damien smirked. "Not bad. But, how well do you think you can wield that
spear?" he said, parroting her taunt back at her.
"Quite well, actually," came Ellyria's reply. She got into a position
where it seemed she was going to charge again.
"A one trick pony?" Damien laughed, "Don't you realize the same attack
never works twice?"
Ellyria ignored his words and moved forward. Damien prepared to parry
again, then realized that the woman had not charged ahead. Rather, she
seemed to have disappeared.
"What the...?!"
Damien's sentence was cut short as Ellyria came down, seemingly from the
sky, with Elune pointing right at his head. A quick jump backwards
prevented the mercenary from being impaled and flattened, but Elune had
managed to clip his arm, creating a gash on his upper arm.
Ellyria smiled. "A Dragon Knight, rather, a Dragoon, is the master of
the skies. Looks like you're just ground-bound." She laughed.
Damien rushed forward quickly. "You let your guard down!" he shouted,
taking a swipe at her with his sword.
Ellyria jumped back and held her bleeding arm. "Dammit, everyone tells
me to stop being so cocky... Enough."
Damien sheathed his sword and crossed his arms. "I believe we are even
now, aren't we, Miss...?"
"Highwind. Ellyria Highwind," the woman replied, holding out her hand to
him.

The Group Grows Larger
As
Maikeru Rosu went walking into a town he realized that the rain had been
pouring down harder since he got within eye sight of the town. As he was
walking down the road he saw a few people dragging a drunken man in side
a bar. Maikeru guessed that he drank too much a passed out outside, but
a second look he saw the broken window and the minor cuts from the glass
on his body. He started walking towards the bar and a voice called to
him.
Voice: Walk this way.
Maikeru: It's you again, where are you?
Voice: Walk towards the forest.
Maikeru grabbed his Yumi and held it close with an arrow at the ready.
As he got closer to the forest he saw a man and a woman fighting and
then after a few minutes they stopped and shook hands. Right after they
shook hands he walked up too them and asked if either of them was the
great hero.
Maikeru: Are either of you the Great Hero?
The two warriors answered together: No and who are you?
Maikeru: The name is Maikeru Rosu. And you?
Man: The name is Damien Okinawa.
Woman: The name is Ellyria Highwind. Why are you looking for the Great
Hero?
Maikeru: This might sound crazy but a voice told me to look for him.
Damien and Ellyria: Me too.
