    ~*In the GRAY*~

    There once was an old, almost ancient, story that each generation of humans passed down to the next, story never changing. The story told a legend of eight mythical beasts being sent down from god himself, to protect the world from chaos, and to find the long-awaited paradise…

    It went something like this:

    Long ago, before anything ever existed, god sent down eight creatures of the natural elements down from he heavens. The eight creatures worked together to create the earth, and to bring life to it too. As time went on, the eight creatures slowly started disappearing, until they were no longer seen again. That was before he human race ever existed. However, sightings of these creatures do come up ever now and then; mostly from people who are in the brink of death, but they too, started disappearing. ..

    Now the legend of the eight beast is only a myth, until, that is, the sightings of them re-appeared. Sightings of strange looking animals in the city that is covered in gray..

    The strange animals were sighted in the dark alley-ways in the central city. The animals; they looked…as if they were looking for something.

    They know what it is they are looking for though. That thing, is called Paradise. The reason they are looking for this so-called paradise is not to save the human race; however, they all sense something terrible is happing inside of it. They sense paradise is holding a mass evil inside of it, but they do not know what it is.

    Still, they are not willing to give up that easily. With the power of god inside them, and the natural elements they received, the eight mythical beasts WILL find paradise and destroy the evil inside of it, once and for all…

    (Oh, and before you sign-up let me explain what paradise is:

    Paradise is like what you'd imagine it to be; a peaceful place that all the mythical beasts once shared before they created life. So basicly, it's the past place for them. It is not of the human world now though. They need something special to open it, and they are going to find out what that special something is.)


    You are one of those mythical beasts. You choose from one of the eight natural powers you received from god from below:

    I am so sorry I have not been on PC very often for the last month, but this idea was in my head for a while now, and I wanted to make it for you guys. ^^"

    My sign-up:


    Name: Inferno

    Age: unknown

    Element: fire

    Description: Inferno is one of the few feminine looking beasts. From her pointed snout, down to her little paws. Inferno's body is covered with a glossy, fire-red pelt that looks almost like fire. Accompanying the fire-red pelt is the markings of dark red that cover her entire body. Those markings run through the tip of her nose, down to her long, beautiful, tail, creating a kind of ancient pattern as they run along. Her eyes are an unusual lime-green color, and seem to sparkly almost all of the time, even through the conditions she and the other beasts are in. Fire surrounds the area just above her paws, the thing that turns off most of the human's ideas about her being some sort of dog-type animal.

    Personality: Inferno, despite what element she is, likes to keeps things cool even in the most life-threatening situations. She does not panic at the sight of humans seeing her. She just calmly walks away, knowing that the humans won't dare touch her. She is very clever at times, and can get out of almost any situation with just talk, since she is not to fond of fighting. Ever since the feelings came though, she has been getting these strong urges to just leap forward and kill at no mercy, though her body holds her down.

    Past: At the beginning, Inferno lived with all the other beasts. But, as life went along, they began to split up and go there separate ways. Inferno went to live in the city of Gray, a humongous city that always seems to be…'gray'. The city seems to go on forever, non-stop. Inferno never knew the fate of the others.

    Inferno grew up mostly by herself, in the confusing alley-ways that most humans would get lost in. It is located in the center city, surprisingly, the place where humans are scarce. The reason being is mostly because of the broken down buildings and streets due to a freak storm that happened one day. Most humans call it the 'ruble heap' now. Another reason is because the rumors went on about 'monsters' living there. Inferno DID manage to find the 'monsters' the people were talking about. They turned out to be a pack of abandoned dogs, violent none the less. Not wanting to solve it by words, the dogs charged toward Inferno, only to get themselves killed in the process. Inferno buried them all deep in the ground, despite not wanting to do so.

    After that the humans still didn't show, which made her happy. However, she would come across a few stray animals there from time to time. They would become her mutual friends there.

    So, Inferno really grew up in peace and quiet until the strange urges came. After that she couldn't stop thinking about what really was out there in the world. Time after time she would go to the edge of the central city, or just jump on top of the highest broken-down building she could find in the central city and just stare out.

    Other: Inferno, just like any other of the beasts, can use her element whenever she desires. Breathing fire out of her mouth is a since. She can also use the fire as a sort of barrier from anything that tries to harm her.



    Again, I am really sorry I haven't been on here a lot..

    And before I end my post, I want to tell you guys that there is a newbie here that is going to join. I know her though, so don't worry if her sign-up seems kind of short. She comes from a Hamtaro forum, so the rping there is kind of light-hearted. She wanted to come to this forum because I told her of how umm…'not light-hearted' some of the rps are here. XD She wants to learn how to be a good rper. I already told her some stuff and she seems to know some. Just be nice, k? ^^

    *smiles* ok... i'll describe her personality more, and fix everything.
     
    Name: Silver

    Age: Unknown, may range from 1 to 100

    Element: Water

    Description: Silver has two heads, much like the wolf in my siggy. His coat is a dark shade of blue with streaks of black in it. Please refer to the picture for any appearance-related questions because I do not want to describe something that I have a picture of.

    Personality: Although Silver has two heads, he is one beast. If he chooses to speak, the heads talk in unison. He is a bit lazy sometimes, and very quiet. Having two heads, he has an excessive knowledge of almost anything. He prefers to be alone to working in a group because he sees groups to be "annoying distractions". If he absolutely has to, however, he is willing to work with others.

    Past: Silver lived as a guardian of a small seaside village. Seeing as no other beasts attacked there, he mostly stopped flooding and rough seas from atop a mountain. The villagers thought of him as a god, dispite never seeing him. They left him food at the base of the mountain, which he collected in the middle of the night. Silver considered not collecting gifts, but he only did so to keep the villagers in an optimistic mood. Not for selfish purposes (he could easily live off anything he hunted).

    Other: Silver can control water as long as it's in his view. He can create illusions from his water, and can part fogs and mists.


    If there's anything I'm missing, I'll add it tomorrow. It's getting late, and my mom has to sleep (the computer is in her room).
     
    Name: Fatum (Fah-toom)

    Age: N/A

    Element: Wind

    Description: Fatum is among the most humanoid of the beasts, with an upright figure. It has two, brown eyes with hints of green, but no other distinguising facial feature. It's skin is a pale speckled color of white and somewhat reddish brown, and seemingly like a mix between skin and down feathers. On top of it's head, it has long, extremely soft brown feathers, acting almost like hair, cascading down to it's lower back. It even shrouds itself in a garment made of these feathers, almost like a long coaat, unless it must fight. The colors, aged by death, are a very, very dark grey, bordering on black. It's only other distinguishing feature is a single wing, of the same, rich brown feathers on the right side of it's back. At first glance, Fatum appears to be a female, but has a deep, rich masculine voice. In truth, it is of no gender, as are all of its kind.

    Personality: Fatum was once cheerful and outgoing, but now suits its namesake well, rarely acting with much energy, and only half interested in the world around it, believing far too heavily in doom. t also makes very few friends, but those who have pursued the effort to befriend it are held very dearly, and the only things that it will put all of its effort into fighting for.

    Past: At the beginning, Fatum lived with all the other beasts. But, as life went along, they began to split up and go there separate ways. Fatum journeyed beyond the limits of the sky, spending most of its time in the abandoned city in the sky of storms, a place of emptyness and solitude, which may have been the reason for its shift in personality.

    Fatum spent many lonely years in the depths of the shadows there, and eventually forgot why it truly went there, and much of it's past life. And so the lonely years of dark and storms passed, with nothing to distinguish time. Eventually, the urges to move finally came to it, and along with it, a rush of some of it's forgotten past. It rose, soaring through the storms and into the light, seeking whatever seemed to be calling it...

    Other: Fatum has mastery of wind and air, which it typically uses in a few ways. Firstly, it can create vibrations to make sounds that can be used to communicate with other creatures, or as a weapon. It can control the air, creating a fast moving barrier that can deflect most light projectiles, and lastly, it can make sharp gusts and countergusts of wind, acting like razorblades...


    OOC: That okay? Sorry but I'm overworked, and it's uber late.
     
    I would like dark. I'm working on my thing right now. Thanks~
     
    JBCBlank- I'm sorry, but youre past is not very descirptive... Declined. (But you can try to re-do it if you want.)

    Garouga! Bare Your Fangs!- Accpeted.

    Shiney- Accepted.

    ~*Concrete_Angel*~- Your spot is reserved.

    Now we just have ta wait for Concrete DragonSlayer and Bloodfire, and then we can begin...
     
    Name: Kali

    Age: Unknown (21 in appearance)

    Element: Ice

    Description: The best way to describe Kali is that of a hybrid. She has human characteristics, but also has those of a bestial like creature. She has pale looking skin and Draconic, amber eyes as well as a mane of crystal blue hair. Her ears extend past the top of her head and take on a pointed shape, covered in ice blue scales. Her hands are also of the same texture and have dragon like talons sprouting from the finger tips, the scaly texture of her skin starts at the join of her arms, whereas her chest, head and stomach are covered in the skin a human would wear. Her thighs are muscular, but as they travel lower, they become lither and end with dragon like feet, tipped with mighty talons. Her chest is covered by a sparkling, light blue armour plate, but her stomach is left unprotected, and shows only a tribal marking that is said to coarse from her upper legs to her face, where is spirals around her left eye. Her lower arms and legs are covered in the same armour, but the upper parts of the two regions are covered only in a thin layer of black material. Her helmet takes the shape of a Dragon's head; her eyes cannot be seen from outsiders, but she can see perfectly through the silver lens that covers her orbs. She prefers to wear the clothes from the ancient times than she does the common folk clothing of the present days.

    Kali could very much run around without the heavy armour as her body is covered mostly by scales. The only regions without this skin condition are her stomach and head.

    Kali also possesses the power to transform into a mighty, ice Dragon:

    She can control the size in which she prefers her dragon form to be, making her perfect for long distance travelling. Only the larger version takes up more strength and determination, the transformation to this particular form is hard to accomplish and painful for Kali to undertake. It takes a lot of strength to keep the transformation. The smaller on the other hand is a common transformation, one in which she can transform into easily.

    Smaller: https://www.saberfire.com/dragons/archivehigh/036.jpg

    Larger: https://www.saberfire.com/dragons/archivehigh/029.jpg

    Personality: Kali is a rather cold and distant, as her element suggests. She speaks only when she feels need to and even then they are words of wisdom. She still lives in the olden days even after the many centuries that have passed. She dislikes anyone who disagrees with her almost instantly; she does not take well to those who treat her as a lesser being. She prefers to take on her original form of the Dragon rather than her human form as she is not particularly fond of the race and would gladly show her hatred towards them if they even dare approach her. But though she appears uncaring, she is in fact good as gold, willing to help those she feels are close to her.

    Past: Kali grew up amongst those of her own race, the beast that came to earth at the beginning of time. Sadly they were separated from each other and Kali grew up alone, forever living in the ancient times of knights and kings that she adored. Only recently has she stumbled upon the existence of a grey city that is inhabited by humans. Instead of entering she lived on its outskirts away from prying eyes. She knew that her draconic self would not be welcomed amongst their ranks and so she fed off of small animals which prowled the fields outside of the city.

    She waits for the day she would be reunited with her fellow beats.

    Other: N/A

    I hope its alright that I gave her a Knight like appearance as well as being a Dragon XP

    Name: Garnet
    Age: Unknown
    Element: Poison
    Description: Garnet's appearance is a strange combination between a dragon and a tiger, the blend between fur and scales providing an almost feather-like appearance. With eyes of deep gold and a covering of black-striped crimson, Garnet is a rather intimidating creature. Upon his back are two sets of scarlet-feathered wings, one set being considerably larger than the other, and upon one wing being a single streak of black feathers. Overall, Garnet's size is similar to that of an average tiger. And, though able to transform into a slightly more human-like form, his bitterness toward the human race often prevents him from doing so.
    Personality: One of the words that may most accurately describe Garnet is "dangerous." Like a rose that hides its thorns or a sharp-edged gem, Garnet has little trouble charming his enemies while subtly poisoning them with an unseen, toxic mist. Not having one of the more powerful elements, Garnet is often dependent upon strategy to gain victory. As such, he has developed considerable perceptiveness and observation skills. Even when irritated, rarely does Garnet evince his anger in a "normal" form. Usually, though, Garnet remains composed, focused, and suspicious--despite how he might act to hide this.
    Past: One of Garnet's peculiarities is his diet. A predator by nature, he is solely able to derive nutrients from blood. Because of this, the tribe of hunters near his territory both deeply feared and deeply revered him. And, for a time Garnet and the humans co-existed--him driving prey near the hunters and protecting the tribe from antagonists, while the tribe drained blood from their game and left it in the woods for Garnet to drink. Though it was unusual for man and beast to dwell so closely, both seemed satisfied with the arrangement.

    As the ages passed, however, the tribe's philosophy began to change. They desired independence from Garnet and began to view him as a threat. Thus, after a particularly fierce battle with another tribe, when one of the hunters glimpsed Garnet's wounded form disappearing into the forest, the tribe formulated a plan. That night, the tribe left the usual tribute of blood slightly within the forest's edge. However, as Garnet arrived to receive it, he suddenly found a multitude of arrows darting toward him. He narrowly avoided the attack. Though the battle that then waged was fierce, Garnet stinging from his wounds as well as the betrayal, the beast found himself hesitant to injure the hunters he had lived beside for so long. Then, one particularly bold hunter sprang forward and slashed his blade down, tearing it across Garnet's wing and rendering it useless. Snarling with mingled fury and pain, the creature surrounded himself with poisonous gas and was finally able to escape--still unwilling to fully release his wrath upon the humans.

    Since that time, Garnet's wing has healed, the only sign of his wound being a stripe of black feathers. He has also distanced himself from humans, preferring to watch them from afar with only rare interventions.
    Other: Garnet controls multiple poisons, some more deadly than others. However, due to the very nature of his abilities, Garnet prefers more deadly methods of fighting.

    I may be 13, but I got in on the first try. That's more than I can say for YOU.
     
    Hey guys. There is to be NO fighting in this thread. If I see anyone fight with ANYONE after this, they will be thrown out. =/ (sorry, but I just hate fighting >.>) Plus there are two mods here; it would be pretty stupid to lol.

    I am looking over Bloodfire's and Kogenta's sign-ups now..I most likely think they will both be accepted lol...and that just leaves Keikokandie and dragonSlaver....I really want to start this though. x__X;;;
     
    Name:Aakura

    Age: N/A

    Element: Dark

    Description: Aakura resembles a cat. She has a long, thick gleaming black coat. On her belly, she appears to have what look like "stars". The strangest things are the wings on her back. They're big and dark, dark blue. Also, she has smaller wings at the end of her long, sleek tail (kind of like Kero's from Cardcaptor Sakura). Around her paws, she has feathers and stars. On her forehead she has a crescent moon, silver-gray, as well as a star on her right ear the same color. All of her markings and feathers (along with wings)are said to glow brightly at night, only on occasion. Her eyes are a bright yet dark purple.

    Personality: Aakura lives up to her element's expectations. She has a rather dark streak, and she isn't very social, so it may take a while for her to get close to you. She holds on to pain and suffering, and lets go of the joys in her life. And that is her greatest downfall. Aakura is usually found lurking in the shadows. She rarely rests, and when she does it's only for a short period of time. She's a head-strong, head-first type, so she's blind to the things in front of her, or the things people mean. Using metaphors on her would go through one ear and out the other.

    Aakura lose friends easily, but the ones she has had will stay with her forever. Aakura's willing to make sacrifices for anyone or anybody. She may not seem the type, but once you get to know her, you'll find that litle piece of light hiding inside. She can be happy one moment and in tears the next.

    Believe it or not, Aakura hates being alone (and likes being by herself). She'll try to stop you from leaving her. She enjoys the warmth of having someone close by. It makes her feel she's not alone.

    Past: Aakura prefers not to think about her past, but if she remembers just one little thing, all the memories will come back to her. Her father left her at a very young age, leaving her with her mother. Aakura and her mother don't normally get along, but when they do, they share an amazing mother-daughter bond. She swears to find her father and tell him of the pain he made her mother go through go through. She still remembers the shrill cries of her mother.

    However, Aakura left her mother and Gray years ago, going nowhere specific. She was looking...looking for something. She wasn't sure what, all she knew was she had to get out of that place.

    The adventure she went on was potentialy dangerous. She had gotten into fights, she had caused fights. But, she made friends who have helped her in a way. They've helped her trust others.

    Her parents were both cats, normal-looking cats, no wings, nothing. Which made Aakura feel self-concious. She wonders if she was gifted or cursed.

    Aakura has an older brother, whom she's never seen before. Her mother never spoke much of him, which made Aakura wonder. Maybe he was "different" as well? Or maybe something was wrong with him? All Aakura knows is that her brother is alive. She hopes to run into him someday, to talk to him. Maybe he understands how she feels.

    And now, Aakura has returned to Gray, searching for that one missing piece she left behind..

    Other: Aakura has yet to master her dark techniques. They never appear when she needs them to, mostly only when she doesn't. If she's under stress, she might attack the closest thing next to her. Her powers include a breath of darkness, which is formed by oppening her mouth largely enough to blow dark orbs. Her moon also sends out a wicked attack, sort of an explosion, like a microwave blowing up. This takes a lot out of her though, and after that she can't concentrate well and eventually collapses.

    Also, Aakura can fly. High. Very, very high. Her wings a basically the only things she can control. She can also enlarge her wings up to five imes the size of her own body for shelter.

    Aakura's tail is very sensitive. She will either cry or hiss or attack you if you touched her tail.

    Also, Aakura can tell how others are feeling. No, she can't read their minds, she just has a heavy sense of understanding.

    Akura hates water. The only time she'll ever go near it is for a drink.

    Fine...As much as you hate fighting, I hate having my RP skills underestimated because of my age. Yes, it's happened before.
