Open World's Balance

Sylph

Sylph

Take me to Wonderland
A small, frail woman reaches out her hand toward the form of a battered and sickly man lying on the floor. She moves across the floor toward a single line that divides the astral plain in half, placing her hands on the single barrier that separates her from the dieing man.

"Brother, please let me in. I wish to help you, please!"

"No...you're trying to kill me...you're all trying to get rid of me...." croaked the man, curled up in a ball of pain on the floor. He shutters as he coughs uncontrollably on the floor of the astral plain, his thick fingers trying to hold onto something physical. He turns his head and looks up at his sister, noting the tears that stain her moon-kissed skin.

"...Sister...I'm dieing...why am I dieing..."

"I'm not sure...but I will save you! We...I need you...you are the one that keeps the world balanced with me..." She whispers back to him, a pained look in her eyes. Tears roll down her face as she collapse to her knees, her heart aching at the sight of her brother's pain. She looks away from him and lets out a quiet sob.

"The humans don't believe in us...like in the old days...there is no belief, no faith in us now in the world below...we will both die unless I save you and keep a balance. Brother, please...allow me to pass through to help you!"

"I...I'm afraid I can't do that...not this way. I can't break the barrier...but there is another way for you to help me...the doorway...our doorway to our side of this plain. If you wish to save me, then find my door" He whispered back, pain in his voice. His eyes then slide shut, his breathing slowing to a wispy whisper.

"I'll help you brother..."

...

This is the dream that haunted your dreams for the past week, each time seeming more real than the last. For the past week, you've visited an old shrine in your home town, drawn to it by some unseen force pulling inside of you. Each time you visit the shrine, you've found yourself moving closer and closer to the shrine's main building before the spell breaks and you leave the shrine confused and dazed.

Today, you decide to finally find out what is in the shrine, once and for all. You make your way to the shrine through the busy streets of modern civilization, past the sky scrapers and cars to the front steps of the old shrine. You run up the stairs, heart racing as you come closer to the main building. You slide the door open and reveal a small room with others like you, all coming because of a unseen force and dreams. In the back of the room sits a cloaked figure, looking like a woman, with a bundle on her lap. The woman looks up at you and smiles softly at you, her lips painted a deep amethyst purple.

"Welcome. We've been waiting for you."

Objective:

You are one of the 'chosen', picked for your skills and potential. You and others are to help guide the woman and her bundle to the "Doorway" that leads to the plain of drakness and redemption. The woman will bless you with a power that will help you and the others on your journey, be it the power to read minds, talk to animals, or blast a person a country mile.

The woman has a map to where the door could be found, but can't travel alone. She requests your help in delievering the bundle to the doorway.

But it is up to you if you want to help her. *sly smirk*

Name: Emi Abbadon
Age: 17
Gender: ♀

Appearance: Emi is medium-sized and very thin. Her limbs are long, and her hands have thin fingers. She moves with a sort of predator's grace about her. Her hair is black and falls to her mid-back, and has neon green tips. She usually wears it pulled up in a very tight ponytail. Her eyes are brown. Her typical way of dressing consists of black tights under a pair of cut-off blue jean shorts, an enormous purple hoodie, sandals, and fingerless black gloves. She wears a beaded choker at all times. She likes to carry all of her more beloved personal belongings on her person at all times, and is in the possession of a large leather messenger bag for them. The bag contains a notebook, a large pen set, a full dice set (purple with green), a Monster Manual and Player's Handbook, a tiny slightly feline figurine, her laptop, and whatever snacks she feels like carrying at the time.

Personality: Emi isn't the warmest person at first glance, tending to not be very subtle with things that she notices or has a problem with. She will blurt out her thoughts without thinking (or caring) what anyone else thinks about her. She will talk to anyone who she feels she needs to, but will rarely form a lasting bond with any one person. She dislikes small children and stupid people and won't hesitate to tease and humiliate anyone she dislikes into oblivion. She has a sharp wit, silver tongue, and a powerful mind.

Bio: Born and raised in the big city, Emi is streetwise and cunning when it comes to her home. She was taught to be able to worm her way out of any tough situation, so rarely got in trouble as a child, even if she was a holy terror to her schoolteachers. Her mother passed away when she was young, so she was raised by her father. He was kind to her, and taught her everything she needed to know. When she entered high school, she was one of the loner kids, but she was feared by quite a few for her considerable skill with the art of kicking the crap out of anyone who pissed her off enough.

Name: Mystari Endris

Age: 11

Gender: Female

Appearance: Curly, blonde hair; wears random clothes. Somewhat skinny. Seems a little tall for her age. Then again, her birthday's coming up...

Personality: Can be hyper, but is usually calm. Sometimes with an attitude. She doesn't live civilization, so she is solitary, hates being partnered up, and only has one or two friends.

Bio: When Mysti was in elementary school grades (or years, wherever you live) 1-3, she was pretty popular because of her acing grades. Then one day, she got a C on her paper... and then it stopped. Bullies picked on her, most of her friends turned on her, and she only had Sarah Petrie, who moved soon after. This is how she came to be solitary and defensive, not offensive.

Then one day, for a week straight actually, she had this weird dream. When she was out doing errands for her mom, going to the library, or just going to hang out with her one friend, Bailey Clark, when she suddenly was near the shrine. This kept happening for days on end. Finally, she appeared at the shrine. There was - the woman from her dream!

Other: Whoah! The first half of my bio and everything not about the shrine, eg. only friend Bailey Clark, shoildn't be called "Bio". It should be called "Story of Mewtwo's Life".
 
FMC + Mewtwo: Accepted.

Name: Tina Barstow
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: She has very, very short black hair, even for a guy's. Dark brownish-black eyes. About 5'5, and very thin. She walks with a slouch which makes her look even smaller. She likes wearing weird clothes, one day a fancy silk kimono, the next day overalls and cowboy boots.
Personality: She is a bit of an oddball, with seemingly unlimited energy and enthusiasm about things that interest her. With anything else, she is a shameless underachiever and doesn't care much about school, getting straight B+'s. She almost always has a serious look on her face, and doesn't really joke around or laugh very much, even when excited. Even when she's really upset or happy, she shows little expression, which freaks out quite a lot of people she knows.
Bio:She was adopted at age four, but doesn't remember much from that time. An only child, she then grew up in a very rural town without too many people, and so she was pretty much allowed to do anything she wanted. This is one of the main reasons why she is the way she is. When she was twelve, her family moved to [Whatever town this is] so they could have more contact with people.

Personality: Ramn is a serious person. He can also be a little selfish, but is an overall nice person.

He's also very intelligent, and aspires to become an engineer.

Bio: Ramn was raised by a successful buisnessman in New York. His life has been a somewhat lonely one, as he's never really fit in with other people.

*shapeshifting power get kthxbai* =DDDDDD

Name: Vai Kisubo

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Appearance: Vai is pretty boring, in terms of appearance. She always has her hair back in a low ponytail, no exceptions. She is EAST ASIAN, DAMMIT and will kill anyone who gets that wrong. Vai has black hair, brown eyes, and is just below the average height for people her age. She usually wears a black down vest over a dull green jacket, and a black shirt. Vai wears cargo pants and sandals, and is usually smirking.

Personality: Vai is rather quirky, and gets angry easily. She is close minded, but pretty laidback. She doesn't care for school, and likes to be running around is foresty areas, or skipping school. She easily makes friends with kids older than her, and is somewhat a loner. Vai is one of the people you'd expect to be doing drugs, but isn't. Seriously.

Bio: Vai is the second oldest in her family, consisting of her mom, dad, older brother, and younger brother. She lives an average blah life, going to school and playing with friends in her free time. Until those messed up dreams started to bother her, and she started going around to that shrine place, never.. actually sure of what she was doing.

Name:Jacob Arlington

Age:14

Gender:Male

Appearance:
Jacob is around average height for his age at 5" 4'. In terms of physical qualities, he has jet black hair, usually uncombed, deep blue eyes, and a skin color resembling a Caucasian person with a good tan. His clothing is the most noticeable, as he has the odd habit of wearing all of one color every day. If he had to choose among his color-coded closet, he would probably pick his dark green outfit, consisting of a dark green t-shirt, a dark green cargo vest, dark green cargo pants, and dark green sneakers (he doesn't wear socks with this outfit because he couldn't find any dark green ones).

Personality:
Jacob, or Jake as a lot of people call him, is a casual person. He dislikes hard work, and tends to procrastinate. He's sarcastic almost always, but he never intends to be mean. He's mainly sarcastic for humorous reasons. Jake is normally pretty quiet, but he can make conversation if spoken too.

Bio:
Jake led a fairly normal life. He went to school, got pretty good grades, played the guitar, liked playing video games, normal things for a kid his age. In fact, Jake didn't really want change. He liked his little set routine, and was fine if every day was the same as the previous. This was the reason the dreams bothered him. He felt something significant was going to happen, but he didn't want to get involved. But it couldn't be resisted. After 14 years of the same thing, Jake was headed towards adventure. As he walked home from school on the same path he had taken for years, he noticed some thing different each time. Something glistening in the distance through some trees on the side of the road. He tried to ignore it, but every day he found himself subconsciously moving toward that side of the road as he walked down it. It was almost as if he wanted
to see what it was, but he couldn't see why; he'd never wanted to break up his daily routine before. Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer. He broke into a dash through the trees towards whatever it was he saw. Maybe, he thought, if he just figured out what it was, it wouldn't bother him anymore. So he ran. and what he found startled him beyond imagination.

Other:
That bio turned out a lot longer than I thought it would be.

Name: Summer Winters

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: Auburn hair and greenish-hazel eyes
Torn up tank top, ripped jeans and a tattered coat
Worn old boots that she’s walked right through
Dull-looking yet tan skin, often looks a bit dirty
Incredibly thin and weak, almost emaciated-looking

Personality: Patient and sweet, but very serious. She can’t stand it when others seem to look down on her because she doesn’t have nice clothes, or as much money as they do. She hates resorting to violence, and won‘t fight unless it‘s dire. She also seems to have quite a bit of trouble voicing her opinion in groups, which often hampers her ability to communicate. She’s a very nervous girl amidst people she doesn’t know as well, and begins to stutter when she’s made to be nearby strangers, making her look weak and timid. Often, things will come out of her mouth the wrong way in these situations, even though she means well, and will often result in her coming home bruised and crying.

Bio: She’s never known either of her parents. She grew up alone with one younger siblings and a group of other girls of similar ages, her being the oldest, in an orphanage. Then the owners of the orphanage were made to close it down when she was eight, and all the other girls were taken in by families except for her, her sister and five others. These five girls cared for each other very much, viewing themselves as their own little family.

She’s grown up in severe poverty since then. She had to scavenge for food for herself and six other people and was often chased away by people, resulting in her fear of strangers. She often barely found enough for even herself, but shared it anyway. Then she started having the strange dreams and finding herself at the shrine, and she has no idea what’s going on.

Other: Has a southern accent

Name: Barry Lindsay
Age: 14
Gender: Male

Appearance: Barry is very pale, as if he doesn't get nearly enough sun, except for his healthier-looking arms. This is generally explained by his tendency to remain indoors while staring outside with his arms hanging out, and his t-shirt and pants outfit, but that does not explain his face's colour. His long, messy black hair, however, might. He is fairly short and can be mistaken for a 10-year old, especially since his blue eyes usually express childish cheerfulness and innocence.

Personality: Barry acts as much like a kid as he looks. He's fairly innocent and often cheerful, at least when he's got the energy to run around. He can easily get into trouble, as he generally doesn't think much about the consequences of his actions. He likes to play, so he'll often badger people into making something fun happen, or ask a lot of questions because there's nothing else to do. Sometimes he'll be annoying on purpose, because getting a rise out of someone is also fun.

No matter what mood he is in, Barry can very, very quickly become angry. He won’t hesitate to attack his target even if it’s a bad idea. Of course, anyone that hits him or gets in his way during one of these rages also becomes an enemy, and quite often he will turn on the most recently-made enemy even if it’s one of his friends or allies. He is practically uncontrollable during these rages, and pain and exhaustion won’t stop him until he literally drops from either or both. Letting him win will not always satisfy him, and sometimes running away will worsen his mood. As long as he can burn out his anger by aggressively pummelling his victim, Barry will forget whatever caused him to become angry.

The fury is truly unpredictable because, not only does he have a wide variety of berserk buttons, but many emotional states in themselves will be quickly replaced by anger. Loneliness, sadness, despair, annoyance, anything that makes him unhappy. Even boredom, or during a calm moment when he’s not focused on anything, or if he simply hasn’t exploded recently enough. Also, sometimes the rage doesn't come out even when it's expected to, just in case someone wanted to predict his reactions.

Perhaps to absolve himself of the blame, Barry insists that whenever he becomes enraged, it’s not him that controls his body. His anger is another entity entirely, which he calls Wrath.

Bio: Barry seemed to have been born with a sort of dual nature - he was usually a sweet, obedient child, but he would sometimes throw terrible tantrums if things weren't going his way. The easiest way to minimise these - as his father was out working and his mother didn't know how to deal with it - was to smother him with happiness. As he was never forced to grow up, he didn't, especially since he was home-schooled.

It was thought that he had some sort of mental disorder, so he was taken to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis when he was twelve. The psychiatrist was convinced that the anger was an alternate personality, and used techniques like hypnosis to try to prove it. It worked to convince Barry, but not his parents, and they cancelled the sessions after deciding that they didn't want to medicate him for life.

He recently started having dreams that he really, really didn't understand, so he decided to go to the shrine to figure it out - something told him that the shrine was related to the dream. Every time, though, he kept getting intimidated and went back home, until the one day he decided to overcome his fear and walk inside.
 
OMG epic sweeeeeetness =D Because it is somewhat psychicness, I'm so happy with my power =D
