• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Keepers of the Stones-Signups

StyliBoy

Help me build my weather machine my evil minions!
Many centuries ago, a harsh war was fought between the empires of the world. Greeks, Romans, Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Persians and Phoenicians all were locked in a bloody battle that seemed to have no end. Finally, there was a stop to the fighting. A portal emerged in the middle of the battlefield and twelve young men and women stepped out. They each carried a stone in their hands.

You must stop this madness, or the world will fall to ruin. These stones, we hope they will be able to subdue the thoughts of war and bring peace to this once tranquil world. But, we need watchers of the stone to ensure their safety.

Slowly, one man and woman from each empire slowly came up and took a stone with them. They held it tight, for fear of the consequences of losing it.

All that now possess a stone must carry a great burden with them. But do not fear, for the stones have powers which will help you to protect it. We must now go back, to our world. May peace be with all

The empires went on to forget their differences and create treaties. They traded together and prospered with one another along side. But then, one day a new Emperor of Rome came to power, Manius Plinius Silvanus, and he set out to take over the other lands. The empires weren't prepared for such betrayal, and soon fell to the mighty Roman Empire. After a few hundred years, though, the Gauls came to Rome and destroyed the city, and the empire along with it. But what had become of all the keepers of the stones? No one knows. There are rumors about them throwing the stones in the sea before committing suicide, some about them going into hiding, breeding and raising their children to guard the stone.

Now it is 2012, the year the Mayans predicted the world would end. Many fanatics are scaring people into submission. The world economy has collapsed. Government has been corrupted. Militaries are ruthless and will kill civilians without a second thought. It is time for the keepers of the stone to emerge and save the world from an Apocalypse only it created.

You are either one of the keepers, or a part of the corrupted government. The keepers will have a stone to guard, and each will have special powers you can use. The people in the government will have armies and all modern technology at their disposal (to an extent). There is one position for world dictator, but he already has a name. He is Remus Romulus Silvanus, the direct descendant of Manius.

Each keeper of each stone is eligible to be a leader. Each stone corresponds to a certain month. The leader role is rotated every month based on what stone you have. See Stones section for stone/month correspondences.

Name: Isabella Lightheart

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Stone:
Emerald(my birthstone)

Appearance:
Isabella has long, blond/brown hair that falls to her waist when out, when tied back it is at between her shoulders and waist.

She has bright green eyes and has a skinny figure. She usually wears 'normal' clothes like Jeans and T-shirts, not too much out of the ordinary.

Personality: Isabella is a nice yet short tempered girl. Also a determined yet cheerful person she is easy to make friends with yet can be annoying to be around.

Bio: Before going into hiding she lived a normal life with her parents, her parent's location is unknown. She used to be the 'Princess' at her old school but after years of living roughly her want for beauty and stylish clothes was mostly gone but a part of her still had it in her.

She used to live in a five story house and had a room as big as a living room as her room. She was quite spoiled and always missed school to go shopping for new clothes for her large wardrobe, her friends did so as well.

She found it very hard to adapt when she was forced into hiding, taking as many clothes and money as she could carry she tried to hide. But while running from place to place she was forced to leave her unwore possessions behind.

She only has one reminder of her past and that is an Emerald necklace. However the original Emerald had been stolen, for some odd reason the thief only wanted the Emerald but once she got her special Emerald that gave her the ability to fortell the future she found it fit perfectly in her necklace so she kept it there, never taking off her necklace.

Uh yeah...pretty much Copy-Pasted with some edits ;)
 
...Uh! Uh!
She took Emrald!
That is my birthstone too!
That's it. No emerald, no me. Bye bye now!
 
I reserve Turquoise.

Name: Felicia Godwin (Ah, ah, see what I did there? Felicia..? I should be in jail. For this. Somehow.)
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Stone/Government Position: Turquoise (Gaspshock. This is my actual birthstone.)
Appearance: Felicia is rather normal-looking. She has short, bright red hair that goes only slightly past her ears and eyes an unusually bright shade of blue. She is always wearing silver wire-framed glasses. She is very small for 15, about 5'2. She loves wearing weird, often video game related tee-shirts; Her favorite is a "Blue Screen of Death" shirt, which is exactly what it sounds like. Along with the glasses, she really does look rather nerdy. She is always wearing her favorite necklace out of habit; a small, egg shaped topaz on a gold chain.
Personality: Felicia is very upbeat and always laughing or smiling, even when things are looking bad. And why not? She seems to have the best luck ever and nothing bad seems to happen to her. She's very energetic and loves people in general. The downside of her extremely cheery outlook on life is the reason why; nothing really bad has ever happened to her. Because of that, when something inevitably does go wrong for her, she's not going to take it very well at all. For the same reason, she's rather immature and lazy to the point of being irritating. A self-described "Champion procrastinator".
Bio: Felicia had, until recently, a rather pleasant and predictable life. She and her family lived on a farm in the "middle of nowhere", where she was home schooled until the age of ten. Then, they moved closer to the city and she started going to school. She was ten. That morning, her mom gave her Felicia her beloved topaz necklace for good luck. And, somehow, it worked. She fit in pretty well at school, making a couple of friends and getting good grades. She joined the soccer team there and immediately fell in love with the sport, and continued to play in all her schools. That is, she did, until her family suddenly had to move back to their old home and start homeschooling again for some reason..

Can I reserve Peridot while I write up my form?
*hurries*

Name: Petrothilan Catoast

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Stone: Peridot (zomg! I'm not original at all! *totally using my birthstone*)

Appearance:Rather nondescript... He has light brown hair that is a bit too long, and green eyes almost always locked in a blank stare. At 5'6", he is slightly shorter than most people his age. Petro usually wears green t-shirts and blue jeans.

Personality: Petro is usually thinking about random things in the universe, which makes most people think he's quiet or slow, but when he isn't spacing out, he is hyperactive. He forgets to fill his Ritalin prescription, fueling his hyperactivity. Petro is so forgetful that he can forget what day it is several minutes after someone tells him... again...

Bio: His super paranoid family went into hiding after a History channel program in 2008 said that the world was going to end in 2012. Unfortunately, possessing the Peridot made his father even more paranoid, and with the failing economy and the world being... the... world(?), killed himself and left the stone to Petro. Petro is... somewhere... haven't decided where though... after the government recently killing his remaining relatives looking for the Peridot.

Okay, next batch...

Callisto: Accepted (Bio was freaky but epic...)

Mewtwo: Still reserved, but looking good so far
 
Ummm....I get that, Callisto. I'm writing the full names of the people under the characters' list. I'll call her Ari during the RP, as the other RPers might if you ask them to
 
Name: Eddie
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Stone/Government Position: Topaz
Appearance: Uh, well, he's Asian. Okay, obviously he has black hair. It's smooth and straight, and bangs go down to his eyes. His sideburns go down to his ears, while the hair on the back of his head goes down to his neck. He's about 5 feet tall, and pretty skinny.
Personality: Eddie's usually really curious and inquisitive, and also sometimes immature and silly. However, he can be very hyper and weird. Hie curiousity sometimes leads him to being annoying.
Bio: Eddie was living in a normal house with a normal family. One day, he decided to take a walk since both of his parents were out of the house. His walk turned into something different once he found a topaz (which is a birthstone :o) lying in the ground, and realized he could control temperatures (to an extent). Now he forever cherishes it.

Okay, I edited that in.
