I Am...
I am The Emet. Three thousand years ago I walked on this planet with you, my brothers and sisters. Together we were the ruling class to the populace of the Earth; to them we appeared as gods, men and women with powers and abilities far surpassing even that of their wildest dreams. The people of this world gave us each special names based on our powers and appearances; I the Emet, followed by The Ocean Walker, The Sky Bearer, The Eye's Storm, The Time Bender, The Weapon Breaker, The War Ender, The Planet Maker and The Sun Eater. And to each of our names a hymn was sung, and a temple erected.
For a time all was well. We brothers and sisters lived happily among the mortal men and women of this planet, but in time some grew complacent. A group of our kin broke off and went on their own way, fulfilling their wishes and desires in their own ways. This group believed that this world was not truly as great as it could be and that something must be changed for it to truly prosper. However, they never could come to a consensus on what exactly it was that should be changed; the people, or the world itself. And so in lieu of seeking the guidance of each other, they resorted to violence, killing thousands of people at a time and causing the ground beneath their feet to decay as they walked.
I and the rest of the brothers and sisters who believed that this world deserved to be left alone, to grow on and evolve at its own pace into the things which we all desired for it, rose up against the other half. A hundred year war was waged. Brother cut down brother, and sister fell on sister. Both sides employed the help of the humans which still worshipped them, and at the end of the hundred years both sides had completely fallen with only the humans and myself still standing amongst the wreckage.
With the help of the humans I built one final temple to our images. At its completion, I fled within with the bodies of each of you and sealed the temple behind us. For the next two thousand years I alone watched over each of you, nurturing your bodies and minds back to their former states. But when each of you began to come to and finish with your healing, I found that the war had taken more of a toll than originally imagined.
Each of you had completely lost your memories and the majority of your powers had also disappeared. It seems, that all that remains within each of you is a shadow of what you once were. Afraid to face all of you at once, I wiped your memories of ever having seen me and then took each of you to your respective temples across the world. It seems that there at least remains a small cult of our devout followers out there who continue to pray at our temples. They sing the hymns of old and pay respects to our respective visages.
I hope that in putting each of you back into these places with clear minds and pure bodies, you will learn from your followers and grow back into the good brothers and sisters I had once known. But I don't believe all will be quite as simple as that. Your powers have waned, and this world is more conflicted than it has ever been before. Nation fights against nation, brothers fight brothers, and sisters sell out sisters. Their conflicts remind me more and more each day of that which had taken place between us so long ago, and to watch it pains me.
I hope that as you grow and realize that which you had once held within yourselves, you will not become tainted by these events that transpire but instead grow from them. I hope that in ten years time, you will all have grown back into the brothers and sisters that I once knew and loved. Then maybe we can all meet once more and reminisce on the silliness of the old days... as a family...

So how will the RP work?
The story will progress in years. Each year your characters will learn about the world around you in whatever area you're currently in, and solve one of the many conflicts within that place (I will provide you a list of 3 or 4 things and you can choose to pursue one or two of them). Year one will be the beginning of the rp, starting you off by waking up in your respective temple to the singing our devout followers. You will start out with one simple power related to your name and will likely be seen as a simple party magician because of it.
With the progression of time and the solution of events becoming more and more complicated, such as stopping a country from deciding to bomb another country (or aiding it in its attempts if that's the route you'd prefer) so to will your powers. You will be allowed to give yourself a single new power at some point within each new year based both off of your character's title, how they've reacted to the events of the world around them and how you believe they've grown as a person in the face of it all. Of course, I'll still be here to check up on and make sure that you're not trying to go too OP from the start. But for the most part you can build and develop your character however you wish.
Killing other characters is really a big no-no for at least the first several years. Depending on the course of events and actions that each of you take, it may become an inevitability on down the line. But for now, you should just be worrying about why you can't remember anything or use any of the powers that your followers whisper about as you begin to walk among them.
And lastly, this RP will take place across the entirety of the present-ish day globe dealing with a variety of different conflicts ranging from small scale things such as trying to resolve a conflict between two color gangs to massive scale things such as attempting to prevent nuclear warfare on down the line. So don't feel as if you have to force yourself to interact with other characters for the first two years, but instead focus on your own character's interactions. In the first year they're basically babies just getting out into the world for their very first time. Everything will seem strange and exciting to them and at times may even prove to be too much and overwhelm them.

The Titles
The Ocean Walker
I walked, I walked across the ocean
To the island of the dead
I climbed, I climbed the mighty tidal-wave
All other men have dread
I alone am standing
Standing in a world of silence
The tsunami and the hurricane
Bow down
I alone am standing
Standing in a world of silence
The tsunami and the hurricane
Bow down, bow down at my command
All the oceans, all the oceans filled with death
I have consumed in a single breath
I am the fountainhead
I am the fountainhead
I am the fountainhead
I'm bringing back the dead
I am the fountainhead
I am the fountainhead
I am the fountainhead
And I am bringing back the dead
The Sky Bearer
I carried the sky on my back
I Caught it the day that it fell
All of the world had turned black
And stared into the mouth of hell
It crushed all the mountains and the tops of the trees
For a moment it even brought me to my knees
On my shoulders I lifted impossible weight
Up the mountains I bore unbearable freight
It crushed all the mountains and the tops of the trees
For a moment it even brought me to my knees
On my shoulders I lifted impossible weight
Up the mountains I bore unbearable freight
It was in silence that I arose
And in silence infinity closed
There are no words wasted
When death is tasted
IT WAS IN SILENCE THAT I AROSE
And in silence infinity closed
THERE ARE NO WORDS WASTED
When death is tasted
It was in silence that I arose
And in silence infinity closed
There are no words wasted
When death, when death is tasted
I Carried the sky on my back
All of the world had turned black
And stared into the mouth of hell
It crushed all the mountains and the tops of the trees
For a moment it even brought me to my knees
On my shoulders I lifted impossible weight
Up the mountains I bore unbearable freight
I bore unbearable freight
Up the mountains I bore unbearable freight
The Eye's Storm
I cause chaos
and confusion
I put the sky in turmoil
I see the world as the sun does
I wreak havoc in a whirlwind
The wind is at my fingertips
And my voice is the lightning and the thunder
Destruction is my work
To obliterate your petty structures
Destruction is my work
To obliterate your petty structures
To make your weak hearts quiver
To make you tremble
To create in you a sense of fear
To open your eyes to your desperation
Destruction is my work
To obliterate your petty structures
Destruction is my work
To obliterate your petty structures
Oh how I long for you to say,
"Consume my beating heart from within"
From within
From the inside
Tear me apart
Consume my beating heart
From within tear me apart
Consume my beating heart
From within
Tear me apart
The Time Bender
Traversing the infinite
Transcending the evident
Watch as reality bends to my will
Navigating eternity
Dispatching uncertainty
Navigating eternity
Behold in my presence, time standing still
I am the future
I am the past
I have seen you breathe (breathe) your (your) last
Navigating eternity
Dispatching uncertainty
Navigating eternity
Behold in my presence, time standing still
I am the end, I am the start
I am holding your beating heart
Day is night
Dark is light
Eternally self-existent
Traversing the infinite
Transcending the evident
Watch as reality bends to my will
I am the future
I am the past
I have seen you breathe your last
The Weapon Breaker
This is the day you die!
Murder, murder and hatred
Infliction, infliction of pain
And creation, creation of sorrow
Murder and hatred
Total annihilation
Destruction of souls that I've redeemed
Obliteration of lives that I've created
The scars of your lives
The sounds of your cries
Destruction, obliteration
The scars of your lives
The sounds of your cries
Destruction of the souls that I've redeemed
All these shall see their...
All these shall see their end
All these shall see their...
All these shall see their end
I will destroy your destructive desires
And nothing shall remain except
The life you live in me
All these shall see their...
All these shall see their end
All these shall see their...
All these shall see their end
All these shall see their...
All these shall see their end
All these shall see their...
All these shall see their end...
The War Ender
I spoke to the heart of darkness
Let there be light
Let there (let there), let there be light
I spoke to the heart of darkness
Let there (let there), let there be light
I reached into the dead man's chest
And brought him back to life
Let there (let there), let there be light
I am the shock to the system
Reanimation is in my hand
I am he that buries men alive
I am he that buries men alive
I am the shock (I am the shock)
To the system
Reanimation is in my hands
I hold the keys (I hold the keys)
Of life and death
And nothing can stand against my plans
Nothing can stand against my plans
I am he that buries men alive
I am he that buries men alive
Buries men alive
Drowns them (drowns them)
And draws them out to thrive
I make the blood flow through your veins
I am the author (I am the author)
Of your final chapter
The bringer of life and bringer of pain
For a time there is war
So that war can yield peace
Despite the pain and disease
The trials and battles of life
The endless burden of strife
The final breath of these monsters
I will bring to pass
The final breath of these monsters
I will bring to pass
I lay in the ruins of the war machine
I conquer the conquering
War-ending angels I will deploy
The destroyer I will destroy
The Planet Maker
I create beauty out of nothing
Majesty spins from my hands
Worlds take form, creation is torn
To make a new beginning
New life is my occupation
New creatures of My own creation
I make the things that need making
I wake the worlds that need waking
Creation is in my hands
To You my life I give
I make a perfect plan
To breathe the life into your skin
Creation is in my hands
To You my life I give
I make a perfect plan
To breathe life
To breath life into your skin
Creation is in my hands
To you my life I give
I make a perfect plan
To breathe life
Into your skin
I am the maker of the worlds
I am creator of the planets
I am the maker of the worlds
And I am the creator of the planets
Creation is in my hands
To breathe life into your skin
The Sun Eater
With resolve I walked an untraveled path
In anguish endured, unspeakable wrath
I am the one who swallowed the sun
Who boldly declared the impossible done
Who boldly declared the impossible done
Perfection in mortal disguise
See it burning within my eyes
I am the light
I alone make the darkness bright
Darkness prevailed for an hour
Until I had consumed its power
Perfection in mortal disguise
See it burning within my eyes
I am the light
I alone make the darkness
I am the sun
I alone am the light
I alone make the darkness bright
I alone am the sun
For I am the omnipotent one
