Lost Memories (PG-16)

Lost Memories

Intro:
There is land that exists in a parallel universe to our own. In this land, memories are cast aside. If you manage to end up here, you will lose nearly all memories of your previous life. These memories are reobtainable, but hardly anyone knows how to. The subject of magic is an extremely contorversial topic in the clan based society.

Current Events:
The clans of the world have been divided into two groups. The first group is pro mage. They are the ones who encourage the teaching of magic, and built the Arcane university. The second group is anti mage. They treat mages as menaces to the human race, and have outlawed all magic in their lands.


Plot:
You are lying in bed, trying to get to sleep. You stare into your ceiling as if it knew the cure to your sleeplessness. You close your eyes trying, once again, to get to sleep. Suddenly, something doesn't feel right. You open your eyes to see a change in scenery. It's bright, and sunny, without a cloud in the sky. You look down, to see that you are falling. You try to let out a yell of fear, but you can't. You see nine other people around you, also falling.
You hit the water hard, but it doesn't hurt you. Two things flash into your mind: your name, and that you are now sinking...

You swim to the surface, and make your way to the nearby beach. Here you find an assortment of chests, and a note. Above each chest is a name, most of which you don't recognize, but one has your name on it. Inside of it, is some equipment. Though these things seem foriegn, they seem right at the same time. As if they were perfect for you.

After you get things out of your chest, you move to the note, which reads:

Young Warriors,

You have been chosen here to bring peace to the land. The Clans here are on the verge of war. A war on magic. The South (where you are) is allied with the east, and wish to allow magic users to co-exist. The north and west, however, think magic will destroy the human race.

I have chosen you because of your skills. I believe that you will be able to complete the task I am about to bestow upon you. I want you to prevent this war. However, if it is too late, as I fear, I ask that you instead, end the war as quick as possible.

In return for completing this task, I will return your memories, and return you to your home.

Someone signed the letter, but the name is smudged, preventing you from reading it.

Setting:
The technology of this world has progressed quite differently than that of the other world. Weapons have not progressed very far, with the creation of muskets being rather recent. Other things have progressed quite quickly, such as communication and transportation. There are telephones, cars, trains, and elavators, but planes are not yet available.

The geography for this world is quite simple, and reflects the seasons. The lands of the North and controlled by the Hiems clan. The land is a perpetual winter. The settlements are larger, but fewer and far between, and there always seems to be a snowstorm.
The East is controlled by the Autunno Clan. This land reflects Autumn. The trees are always an array of orange, red, and yellow leaves. The settlements a medium sized, and evenly spaced. The Hiems and Autunno Clans have united and are anti mage.

To the South is the Aestiva Clan. This land reflects the Summer season. The land is fully of beautiful green trees and rolling plains. The settlements are small, but common.
The West belongs to the Scattare Clan. The land reflects Spring and all the trees are blooming, and the grass is fresh. The land is similar to the East when it comes to settlements. The South and the East are allies and are pro mage.

There is a small area in the middle of the land in which there are no hostilities. This place, called Crepusculi, is where diplomatics between the two powers take place.

EDIT: First reply ^_^ Woo-hoo XD

Will request a reserve if you may. WIP....

Name: Rin (True name: Rin Kagetsuchi)
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Specialization: Melee (Hand-to-Hand)
Weapons:
Her left arm is fitted with a silver Gauntlet covering her fist up to her upper forearm and elbow with a light but durable armor while her right arm is equipped with a finger-less black glove extending to her middle forearm with a light, metallic, alloy plating surrounding the exterior of her back hand and forearm cloth while the palm is stitched with rough patches of material to allow for gripping. Both pieces are beginning to see signs of wear and many scratches can be seen across the metallic surfaces.

Personality:
Rin may not remember anything of her past but she does understand to a certain extent on how she behaves. Over the years of harsh and strict training, Rin doesn't remember how to smile or laugh. Rin keeps to herself rather than interact with others, making her less than likely to stand out within a crowd. Because she can be extremely cold in her ways of talking or thinking, many who have approached her do not usually do so again at least to Rin's knowledge of past confrontations. Rin has an intelligent mind and can be fearless, but her naive and quick judgements without thinking things through are a part of her downfall, sadly. She is, however, able to adapt quickly to different situations due to years of training. People find her invaluable as an ally in battle because of her abilities and skill as a fighter.

Oddly, however, is her infatuation of cute things, especially stuffed animals. She has repressed the girlish side of her to an extent yet even her willpower cannot overcome her love of stuffed animals; however, she has tried many times to change that part of herself. Because she keeps it a secret, very few people know of this side of Rin, which only includes her parents and older sister. Another thing she was taught within her dojo and drilled into her very core was to protect those that are weaker than herself. Rin has taken the lesson to heart and despite her apparent cold nature, she will defend others who cannot defend themselves in which the act most often wins her the favor of the people she has protected.

Because the dojo taught it's students how to disarm and incapacitate opponents, it strictly forbade killing, which can easily done with the skills learned at the dojo, thus Rin had to learn self control in exerting her power since she was one of few who could fight with pin-point accuracy, leading to her mastery of concentration and ability to use a special form of energy utilization called Ki. Rin takes prides in her swiftness and ability as a fighter and to mock her would invoke her wrath, which is not a pretty sight to see. Her emotions are mostly kept suppressed as they interfere with her combat abilities or so she has been taught, and when it comes to relationships, Rin is oblivious and very dense.

Appearance:
Rin stands at a height of 5 feet and 3 inches and weighs roughly 126 pounds. She has short ebony coloured hair cut to her shoulder length save for a thin tail that falls to a length just below her buttocks tied with a black hairband. Rin's brown eyes are slanted but round and the bangs of her hair fall above her eyes in a sweeping motion to the left of her face. The skin of her face is tough and lacks any form of fat from her training at the dojo and the almond shape of her face joins at the smoothly curved chin. Karin's ears are small but unattached and they lay back on her head rather than open out. Her light skinned body is amply endowed which she finds obstructive to her training, and the firm muscles on her body aren't apparent especially her arms and legs unless they are directly touched.

From the dojo's Gi to the school uniform, Rin is highly uncaring of fashionable trends. She wears clothing that aren't extremely loose fitting which allows little resistance to movement to allow for maximum maneuverability and has a strong dislike for female clothing because they make her look awkward although others would debate the subject should she ever wear them. Her attire consists of a black sleeveless shirt that has a zipper running straight down the middle of the clothing ending above the upper thigh portion, while her lower body can be seen in a knee-length white cutoff pants that exposes her lower legs. A black belt is worn around Rin's waist firmly securing her pants, and a pair of ankle high black socks attempt to hide within the black boots she worn upon each foot.

Rin has some accessories she wears, however, she can't seem to remember the people that gave each piece of it to her. She carries a small silver wristwatch with engravings of the letter K to R on the back of the watch while a hairclip with a beautiful design of an azure phoenix on it also sat within her pocket contents. A locket of gold held a small picture inside of it's closed cover depicting two girls, one small and one standing taller with smiles and grins on their faces. Rin has constantly looked upon it trying to piece back together who the girl grinning next to her was but to no avail, her memory surely held no memories.

Additional Information:
A close combat specialist in the Art of Disarming and Incapacitating as well as special Ki Techniques; still in training

Who do you remember?:
Karin, her older sister, mentor, rival, and Head of their family's dojo of hand-to-hand combat

Name: Ariala Davis

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Specialization: Ranged

Weapons: Bows

Personality: Ariala can be very headstrong and rash at times and hardly ever thinks things through. Her favorite colors are pink and brown and she is almost always wearing those colors. She personally does not see magic as a threat and actually thinks it helps people in their lives. Ariala can be very protective of people even if she doesn't know them and will not hesitate to jump in danger to help them. To her enemies she can be cold, heartless, and cruel seeming to be more evil and scary, but with her friends she enjoys having fun, playing sports and is a very kind teenage girl.

In battle she shows a side that even she didn't know she had. She stays near the back because of her ranged attacks and will listen to orders but still be rash at times. She never aims to kill just to hurt them and can't stand the sight of blood fainting at just the sight. She wants to help defend others but only will kill if she has no other choice but still isn't happy about it. Afterwords if she see's that someone has died or she has killed someone she will give them a proper burial and pray that there soul makes it safely to the afterlife because of her strong religious beliefs.

Appearance: Ariala is of average height weighing only 120 lbs (54 Kg). She has long platinum blonde hair that she usually keeps up in a ponytail so it doesn't get in her face. Her eyes are a deep green in color and stand out against her pale skin. She dresses in a pink tank top with it she has a light brown belt, a dark brown skirt, and boots the same color as her shirt. She has a birthmark on most of her left leg that makes the skin look darker and on stomach there is a scar from a childhood accident. Hidden beneath Ariala's bangs is a single heart shaped birthmark.

Additional Information: none
Who do you remember?: Jolon. Mortal Enemy

Name: Jenna Brogue

Age: (18)

Gender: Female

Specialization: Magyk

Weapons: Gear Staff (I'm going steam punk :3)

Personality: Jenna is one of the craftiest girls you will ever meet. She'll take all of your money and leave you stranded in the road, wondering what the hell happened. She is a beauty, and she uses this to her complete advantage as a con artist. She is quite possibly the least trustworthy in the entire universe… er Universes. She acts like a bandit, which is odd considering that she specializes in Magyk. (Although it's not that strange since she was really into the Arcane arts before she wound up in this universe.)

Jenna only truly looks up to a few people as idols or mentors, and most of them aren't even known for being masters of a specific skill. They just have lots of cash. Jenna respects the successful, unless they're her competitors. Jenna has only ever cared about a select few, mainly her family and her deceased friend Sky.

When it comes to competition, Jenna throws her morals out the window. Provided that it's not something that will get her removed from the competition, she will do almost anything to win. Jenna is a rather smart girl, and she knows how to get inside of people's heads. She uses this as an advantage all the time She will usually use it in an attempt to romance a boy(or even a girl in some cases) into doing favors for her. Jenna occasionally has a spell where she gets incredibly angry. For example, if she hears someone call her ugly, she immediately goes ballistic, bludgeoning the one who said it with the nearest blunt object.

She's incredibly smart, and she likes to invent things, which is part of why she's so into Steampunk. She carries bits of gears and springs with her everywhere just in case she has an idea for an invention.

Appearance: Jenna is a rather lean girl. She stands at a height of 5'5, and she is rather thin. Her hair is black, and is usually worn in a tight ponytail, although she has been known to let it down now and then. Jenna facial expression is generally one of mild annoyance, and many say her brown eyes feel like they're constantly judging you. When she's conning someone, or trying to take advantage of someone, she's all smiles. Her gaze is said to be able to stop a man in his tracks. Occasionally she'll wear fake piercings

Before she arrived in this world, Jenna had become rather obsessed with a certain style. Steampunk. She had 5 different steampunk costumes that she had made herself. The one that she is currently stuck with however, is her simplest one. For her torso, Jenna wears a black corset with a brown blouse over it. The lower part of her corset extends past her hips into a short skirt torn halfway up her left thigh. She has a special belt/fanny pack thing that she uses to store all of her tools and gadgets. She also has a pair of Aviator goggles covered in metal bits and gears and a gear bracelet.(It's one large gear.)

Additional Information: She's Bi.

Who do you remember?: Sky, her deceased Best friend

Of course you three are reserved!
@pikakip definitely accepted!
Can't update right now. Im not at home.

SU:

Name: Michael "Mike" Harnel

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Specialization: Melee

Weapons: A Halberd ( A five foot long pole with a heavy steel blade on the end. This blade is a flat, curved piece of steel and has a slight point at its' top. There is also a blue piece of cloth tied decoratively to the pole itself close to the blade. ) and a small dagger for back-up.

Personality: Mike is some one you would call a bit lacking in the 'think before you act' department. He's not necessarily dumb, but he's not the brightest of the bunch either. There are things he can figure out quite easily on his own, but throw a complicated problem in or perhaps something involving math and science and he'll be left there scratching his head. Now this doesn't mean he can be easily swayed to follow one person or another - in fact it's the one thing that has helped him get through life thus far: his strong sense of morality and justice.

Now what Mike lacks in problem solving he makes up for in sheer strength and willingness to follow orders. Generally he will label someone as 'leader' if he is in a group and, even if he doesn't say this aloud, Mike will look towards him/her for answers or instructions. If someone told him to go knock down a tree using only his forehead he'd do it, as long as you gave him a good reason too. Don't give him a reason to 'do this' or 'do that' then he will just shake his head at you and say 'no'. However, if he has known someone for quite a while and this person has made rather...smart decisions in the past then Mike will slowly start to give blind faith into this person.

Well what about his friends? Simple, if your Mike's friend or companion then you've basically got someone who will risk everything for you. He'll take the blame, he'll take the fall or even the punishment if it comes to it. He is deeply loyal to his friends and would hate for anything to happen to one of them.

All of this isn't evident at first, though. When one first meets Mike he's a very nervous looking guy and even intimidating to some. Once he opens up and starts to get to know someone...that's when you get to know the real Mike.

Appearance: He's a fridge with arms and legs. Plain and simple. Wait, you wanted details? Oh, fine.

That 'fridge' joke wasn't an understatement, it's an almost accurate representation of the man. Standing at six feet and four inches tall he's quite a sight, but throw in a broad chest and shoulders, a very well built upper body, and a square facial structure and you have a walking fridge.

A deep brown tan doesn't really hurt either, in fact it goes really well with his blonde buzz-cut. To compliment this are his piercing blue eyes that usually tell much more than what Mike lets on - the eyes are the windows to the soul, you know.

Normally adorned in nothing more than light jeans, a black tank-top, and a blue button up shirt ( that he likes to keep unbuttoned ) Mike just kinda looks like the average walking fridge in the area. To keep him out of the 'normal crowd' he also wears black tennis shoes, a leather necklace with a silver ring attached to it, and a full black tribal tattoo that runs down his right arm, starting at his shoulder coming to a stop just before his wrist.


Additional Information: Doesn't like to be called Michael.

Who do you remember?: Bryce, close friend since Jr. High School and throughout High School.

OP updated.

Unfortunately, there are 4 slots open, and 6 people reserved.

Any SU's from here on are gonna need to be really good. If there are many good ones, I MAY add an extra slot.

SU:

Name: Kuro Usiku

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Specialization: Melee

Weapons: Katana (primary), Stilletos (secondary)

Personality: A man of few words, Kuro speaks the "language" of actions. Though he may seem to be cold and uncaring at first glance, he is quick to help if anyone is in danger. He rarely engages foes in combat, but will fight fiercely if someone he cares for is threatened. He respects all life, and will mourn even his enemies.

Kuro is never rude, but he isn't neccesarily polite, either. He doesn't like to take sides in an argument, prefering to just watch, amused. He has no idols, and looks up to no one. Kuro is his own leader, and will almost never follow another's order unless he believes that the reason is a truly pressing matter. He believes everyone is on equal grounds, and that nobody is richer or poorer than the other. He is not easily influenced by others, an will almost always follow his own path. However, his silence and his seeming lack of emotions make it difficult for his companions to see where his path actually leads. As a result, very few people trust Kuro, if any. That's perfectly fine with Kuro, though, since he doesn't really trust others or himself.

Appearance: Kuro is tall, about 6' 2", and thin, weighing in at about 135 lbs. He has long, black hair that often covers his blue eyes. He wears a steel chain about his neck, at the end of which is an iron cross. He wears a gray tee-shirt and a black jacket, and dark blue pants. He wears somewhat worn out, brown leather shoes.

Kuro's katana is kept in its sheath, which is attached to his belt. The belt itself is just a plain brown leather belt, and the sheath is of the same material. He keeps some of his stilletos in a secret pocket in his jacket sleeve, and the rest in his pants pocket. The stilletos are small, expertly crafted daggers, and a final gift from his old master in this other world. The katana is made from steel, and the hilt and handle are black. He rarely unsheathes the sword; instead he uses his stilletos, a major part in his subtle yet deadly fighting style.

Additional info: He enjoys a good game of cards, perferably poker.

Who he remembers: His girlfriend.

@A Monocled Hawk Looks great, you are accepted!

@Chef30, Blayze~, and SeekerOfDarkness I like where it is going, but it needs to a little bit longer.
