Fire, Earth, Air and Water

I did make something similar to this before, but it died immediately. So... retry!

---

For centuries, millennia, since the dawn of the Universe, the world has been protected secretly by great Spirits - the Fire Spirits, masters of flames and death, the Earth spirits, protectors of nature and manipulators of rocks, the Air spirits, controllers of the wind, and the Water spirits, lords of the sea.

Every now and then, two or more Spirits would combine their power to create a Sub-Spirit, a being less powerful than ordinary Spirits but with control over something else:

Fire and Earth would create a Lava Spirit, who would have control over volcanoes and the various things associated with them.

Fire and Water would create a Vapour Spirit, who would have control over gases.

Fire and Air would create a Thunder Spirit, who would have control over lightning and electricity.

Earth and Water would create a Swamp Spirit, who would have control over mud and, oddly enough, cleansing.

Earth and Air would create a Desert Spirit, who would have control over sand and dust.

Water and Air would create a Cloud Spirit, who would have control over various types of weather.



At one point, the Earth Spirits had a conference, which would later be known among the Spirits as the Great Conversing of Earth. They decided to permanently inhabit the planet as elders over tribes of Humans, sentient (Yet far, far less intelligent than the Spirits themselves) creatures that the Earth Spirits created to populate the world and use their intelligence to change it - for better or for worse.

The Fire Spirits were never very happy with this decision, and soon an argument broke out between the Fire Spirits and the Earth Spirits. Eventually the Spirits of Air joined the Earth Spirits' side, with the Water Spirits remaining rather neutral.

Soon, a war broke out.

The Humans, oblivious to the existence of the Spirits, were bewildered when they and their elders were randomly attacked by tongues of flames that sprung up from nowhere, and there were many casualties.



As the Spirit War rages on, theories have begun to form over which side will emerge triumphant, but to be honest, nobody knows.

Nobody except the Ocean Prophet

---

If you join as an Earth or Wind spirit, your aim will be to fight the Fire Spirits, and vice-versa. If you are a Water Spirit, your aim is to search for the Ocean Prophet and discover the outcome of the War. If you decide to become a Sub Spirit, you can choose your path.

Of course, the above is just the default role of each Spirit - you can join the war as a Water Spirit, search for the Ocean Prophet as an Earth Spirit or... whatever.

I shall have two characters to aid with both plots (That of the War and the search for the Ocean Prophet)

Name: Zephyr

Element: Air

Appearance: Zephyr has the head and body of a young human boy, with bright blue eyes and long silvery-blonde hair. From the waist down, however, his body fades to nothingness, and if one stood behind him they would feel a mildly strong gust coming from where his legs should be. He can, however, create an illusion of having legs to hide his true identity from Humans.

Personality: This shall be played out.

History: Zephyr started his existence as a mere minor breeze under the rule of the North Winds, but a few millennia ago he was promoted, as such, to his current form. When the war broke out he joined the side of the Earth Spirits, rather reluctantly due to a dislike for violence, and has been fighting ever since.

---

Name: Droplet

Element: Water

Appearance: Droplet takes the form of a small orca, except he is navy and sky blue instead of black and white, respectively. His eyes are a bright, vivid green.

Personality: This shall be played out.

History: Droplet has roamed the seas alone and peacefully for as long as he can remember. At the beginning of the war, he had mixed feelings, and, unable to decide on what to do, he set out to find the Ocean Prophet and discover the fate of the world.

---

Finally, the rules.

1: Although you are a supernatural being, you do not have control over everything.

2: You may control minor NPCs, but no-one too important (Such as the Ocean Prophet itself, the leaders of either side of the war and so on) and definitely not the character of another player.

3: Try to use proper spelling and grammar, and do not use chatspeak. I doubt a nature-controlling, universe-old Spirit would tlk lyk dis, lol.

4: Please post as frequently as possible to prevent thread death.

5: Please keep swearing to a minimum.

Spot reservification!

Alright. Reserved.

Name: Kasumi

Element: Cloud

Appearance: A shoulder length, white haired boy with blue-green eyes, and almost-white skin, always surrounded in a cloud of fog.

Personality: Is very shy, and hides from humans and spirits alike. He has trouble talking to people and making friends. The rest will be played out.

History: After creation, Kasumi retreated to a lake hidden in a forest, and had remained there until the war began. Being unsure who to side with, he has traveled the Earth trying to find answers.

You are hereby acceptified, but could you make your path a little clearer?

Better?

Why did that RP die, anyway? It would have been awesome-rific.. D=


Name: Saria

Element: Earth

Appearance: Has the appearance mostly of a human. Her hair is light brown and goes almost to her knees. Her eyes are bright green and very big, and she has a lot of freckles and "elf ears". She has huge butterfly-like wings that appear to be made of four giant leaves. She has a sword tied across her back. Even the sword is forest themed, made of green stone and a silver-green colored blade. Usually, a small animal of some kind follows her around.

Personality: Played out.

History Soon after the universe began, she created a valley with a forest in the center, and has always lived there since then. In the center of the forest is a huge tree with many different kinds of fruit growing on it, with leaves that shimmer and change color. This is Saria's favorite tree, and she sits in it most of the time. She is the only Spirit (That she knows of, anyway) that lives there, although she doesn't mind if humans wander into the forest, which happens very rarely. Saria stayed in her forest in peace until the war began. Then she left, ready to help the other Earth Spirits.

Sorry to be awkward, but how will the Wind Spirits give him answers?

EDIT: Accepted, Evoli. And now we can try and be awesome-riffic again!

I don't know yet :3! Only time (and the course of the plot) will tell!

Fair enough.

b]Name:[/b] Hippocampus or 'Camp'

Element: Water

Appearance: When disguised as a human, he has short brown hair and ocean-blue eyes. His favorite form as a spirit is a large, blue gecko, but he often changes to suit his needs or out of boredom.

Personality: PO!

History In the beginning, he spent the eons inside of comets, learning the ways of ice and snow. When humans were created, he lived in a secluded lake in the middle of Albania, helping those who would fall in the lake. He recently moved to Lake Erie in Ohio, USA. When the war started, he flew off as water vapor to meet the other Water spirits to look for the Prophet.

Name: Fade

Element: Thunder

Appearance: Fade appears to be a type of dragon. He has a long snout and sharp fangs, along with cat-like ears and a mane of golden scales. The rest of his body has red and orange scales. Fade has enormous wings which protrude from his upper back. They appear to be made of electricity, however Fade can fly quite well. He also has a thick, very long tail, strong and made of the same material as his wings.

Personality: Fade is strategic and intelligent, but easily angered. He's a great fighter and a good friend to have around. It takes a long time for he to get tired during flight, but he can fly for a while. A couple of hours, maybe? He's also protective of his allies.

History: After being created, Fade immediately took to the skies to keep the raging storms under control. He was once angered by someone and sent violent storms to their home, but after that he only created storms when need be.

Path: Fade joined the Fire's side, due to the fact that both of his elements are that of that side. If that makes sense.

Both accepted. And Cryptica, it didn't really, seeing as Air is on Earth's side, but oh well.

Name: Cyra

Element: Cloud

Appearance: Cyra looks like an eagle made of clouds. She has a small head with a raptor-like beak, and large, elegant wings. She grabs clouds with her talons and moves them from place to place, and spreads her tail and wing feathers to glide a long way. If Cyra were to land, she would never be able to return to the skies, so she stays above the Earth. Cyra eats soaring bugs that fly around in the air.

Personality: Is a good leader, but usually follows others. She uses her intelligence and agility to her advantage, and uses her sharp eyesight to seek out anything that might need investigating. Cyra is welcoming to allies and will always make allies that are uncomfortable able to settle down again. She tends to like rainy days.

History: Cyra was born in the void that was nothing, and learned to fly when the universe began. She spread her wings and soared over the sky, creating clouds that gave planets shelter from the burning stars and sun. She then proceeded to live above Earth, where she helped create rain, snow and bright days. Cyra now sleeps on a large, fluffy cloud that never pours down from the sky, hidden above all the others.

Path: Cyra fights on Air's side, using the weather to help her.

Oh, okay. I guess I didn't read carefully.

Name: Dyfro

Element: Water

Appearance: A tall thin male humanoind (think elf-like) with pale skin, golden hair, and brilliant blue eyes. He wears blue robes.

Personality: Independant and realistic. (Furthur details will emerege as RP progresses

History; Once responsible for the care of ocean creatures, he was for supporting the Earth spirits, feeling that what had occured was too late to rectify. When the war broke out he changed is views and ellected to remain neutral, however he has chosen to take a more practical position and is now acting to preserve the lives of both humans and spirits on both sides, as well as taking direct action to end the fighting

Darksong and TP are accepted, bringing us to a total... eight characters.

We'll start when we get... two more?

Name: Vendetta

Element: Earth

Appearance: He is tall and thin and wears his hair in a devil lock with blood-red dye in his fringe. He wears two fingerless gloves, each inscribed with a blazing red 'FIGHT!' written in strange glyphs. He wears a shredded black shirt, a pair of shredded pants and leather boots. He is the inventor of the guitar and carries a bass guitar with him at all times.


Personality: Vendetta is tight-wound, apathetic, untrusting, untrustworthy and intelligent. He is ruthlessly determined to complete his goals and nothing can stand in his way.

History: Vendetta, like all Spirits, was born at the beginning of the Universe. Unlike most other Spirits, however, he was not interested in doing any protecting. He travelled the spheres in search of 'true power', power beyond that of the Spirits. He has discoverd a number of artifacts evidently created at the beginning of the universe, much like himself. Apparently this commonality was srong enough that Vendetta could bond with the artifacts, which he called Precursors. After finding two in other worlds, his journey led him to Earth. Here he gained his love of music and invented the guitar.

Path: He is seeking seven artifacts (known to him as Precursors) created at the beginning of the universe, which he believe are the secret to gaining true power. He knows there are seven from inscriptions on the second artifact, the Tablet of a Thousand Truths, which will reveal any truth but those that reveal the meaning of life, how the universe began, the future or the location of one of the other Precursors. His other Precursor are the Gloves of Midnight, woven from pure darkness, which can expand to cover his whole body as a suit of shadowy armour. The third artifact is said to be on Earth.

Accepted, TES. Interesting character, too.

QUESTION: When does this RP take place? Modern time? Somewhere far into the past? It seems to me that Teh Ebil Snorlax's character would be quite out of place in anything but a present-day setting.

Name: Felcifer

Element: Fire

Appearance: Felcifer takes on many different shapes to suit the circumstances, but typically he assumes the form of a ferocious bull whose entire body consists of fire (with the exception of his white, glowing eyes). In more casual situations - in other words, those that require him to communicate with people rather than intimidate them - he prefers to appear as a humanoid, but his body is still composed of fire; Felcifer never, ever, ever transforms into anything remotely organic.

Personality: Played out.

History: Felcifer has always been renowned for the sadistic pleasure he takes in torturing humans, usually giving them a slow, painful, fiery death. Since the beginning of the war, he has risen to infamy as a particularly dreaded Spirit on the battlefield, quite personifying his secondary element of Death. Among the Earth and Wind Spirits, he is well-known for being a ruthless and fierce enemy, but with a cold, tactical genius behind his burning demeanour.

Path (If not described in your History): Felcifer is a (seemingly) devoted Fire Spirit, relentless in his fight against the Earth and Wind Spirits. Still, he is mostly out to do what he finds the most pleasure in doing, and will probably not hesitate to abandon his duties in favour of a more tempting goal.
