Soul Purpose
Started this at SPPF and decided to bring it here.
Plot
Music is said to flow through the soul of every living creature upon this planet, but one place in particular is known for its many musicians and that place is known as, Guru-vu town. This town runs on music and multiple musical characters have been born here to grace the rest of the world with their presence, they spread the joy of music and rhythm and are complete idols to those outsiders who wish to one day rise up to their ranks. Though through this description, the town may seem the perfect getaway, it still has its problems.
The town is split into five sectors: The centre sector is for those of classical and romantic interests, a place for classical singers and R&Bers. The north sector is home to the rockers and the punks, those who enjoy the more free and careless side of music. The south sector is home to the Rappers and the Dancers, for those who can move all night and day. The east sector is for the heavy metal lovers and gothic tragedy, those who like the more sinister side of music. The west is kept for the lovers of jazz and blues, the mellow and laid back characters.
The sectors are forever competing against one another in the dome at the centre of the town. Music plays day and night as the youngsters (more than anything) practice all day and then compete against one another at the end of the day, ready to prove their superiority. The sectors make little contact other than when they fight head to head after the day is done and the competitions role in at night. The youngsters especially do not mix well when in the presence of another sector.
The species introduced into this town, if born of pure or half blood are known as Rizumu's. They are gifted with rhythm that will one day sprout into a musical talent, whether it is with a guitar, drums, an ocarina or even a trumpet. These species are also graced with one elemental power that can be called upon by using their musical talents. Until now, this ability has been used for displays at the dome in order to show off their musical talent. The greater the talent with ones musical gift, the more one would be able to do with his or her element. A fire elemental musician for example, may be able to call forth flames that could dance to the rhythm of the music, or a water gifted musician could be able to call forth dancers made entirely of water.
Unknown to the residence of this town, a war is breaking out. A group called the commandos are on the rampage, lead by an evil dictator by the name of Carlos. This man once held great power over the land of Takten where our story takes place, a wide land filled with many mysteries, many species and many wonders. Once the heir to the throne of Takten then disowned by his parents, King Leon and Queen Loretta for attempting to poison his healthy and adored father in order to get a fast grip on the throne, Carlos swore revenge on not only his parents, but all those that followed them.
To this day, Carlos had gone into hiding and his intentions were unknown, but little did the land know that he was gaining followers. He had managed to construct and underground hideout, open to all who opposed the King and Queen. Many rogues and outcasts joined this group in hopes of being reacquainted with humanity. Carlos though evil is a fair leader and promised his followers that the land would soon be ruled by their hand.
When the town of Guru-vu is attacked by the hands of these wretched beings, a group of Rizumu's are thrust together and embark on a journey to avenge their lost friends and family and restore Guru-vu to what it once was. Along the way they will encounter difficulties and wondrous things in this modern yet mythical world. Can you get along with one another in order to take revenge on the one who destroyed all you ever lived for?
Sum up
I have always been interested in an RPG that would introduce characters that used music as their weapon of choice. So I decided to make this little RPG. You are one of the Rizumu species that have one or more musical talents and control over a specific element. Before your town was attacked you would compete against one another musically in the dome at the centre of your town. But when the town is attacked and your home practically destroyed, you swear revenge on whoever caused this disaster in order to restore your love for the only thing that ever mattered to you: Music.
You will travel to many cities and towns in order to gain knowledge of who this evil dictator is and then hunt him down in order to rid him of the land. Along the way you will encounter many mythical beings and species that you never thought existed. This is an RPG that mixes the modern world with mythical stories and adventures.
Places of interest (In order that we will visit) Bold = Cities/ towns villages, Italic = Roads/ paths/ highways/ fields.)
This list will be edited.
Guru-vu: This is where our hero's originate from. Before the attack it was a glorious town of lights and decorations, but now all that remains of it are ruins and the poor souls that have lost the rhythm that was generated from the city's dazzling aura.
Rayshadow Highway: A highway that crosses from Guru-vu to Torku. Once one passes the half way point it is easy to tell the difference immediately from Guru-vu and Torku.
Torku: Filled to the brim with slums and pollution. It is the complete opposite of Guru-vu. There is no rhythm, only darkness and gruesome characters. It is the only place in the land that generates power. The general species here consist of Humans, lycanthropes and anthros.
Moonglaze fields: This field is always shrouded in darkness, but unlike Torku it gives off a calming sensation. A river runs through its middle which is inhabited by the most calming waters and creatures. Peaceful species live in these parts.
Summerset: A seaside village dedicated to fishing. While many towns are dedicated to industry, this particular village relies on agriculture and nature. Species such as Elves, humans and the more peaceful anthros live in these parts.
Kalm seas: Like the name indicates, this part of the great sea is inhabited by calm and peaceful creatures.
Vicious seas: When crossing the border, the calmness of the sea changes abruptly and becomes rough. This part of the great sea is totally unpredictable and full to the brim with sea monsters.
Species
This list will be edited when more areas are reviled above.
Rizumu's: These creatures are human like in appearance but are graced with long pointed ears and sharp eyes. They have elegant features and can take control of one element.
Humans: Your average humans.
Anthros: Half humans and half animal.
Lycanthropes: Wolf people or werewolves. They take on a human like appearance when the full moon is not in wane, but when it is take on a wolfish appearance and are not capable of controlling themselves.
Elves: These look much like the Rizumu's only with shorter ears and an above average life expectancy. Elves can be found in both forests and cities.
Mermaids/men: Inhabitants of the great sea. They are human like from the waste up but an aquatic tail adorns their lower half's.
Elements
Your character can be gifted with one of the following elements:
Fire, water, ice, lightning, wind, light, darkness, ground, flower (grass) and gravity.
With the help of your instrument or your voice, you can control one of the above elements. Before the attack they were used as parts of displays and talent in the competitions, but now can be used as an attack method. You can conjure fire clones, attack with a blade of pure water, cause a rockslide or a gust of wind. As the RPG progresses, you will learn to control your element more.
Instrument's
The below are just recommendations for instruments for each section:
Centre: Orcarina, Violine, chelo, flute, clarinet, guitar, vocal.
North: Guitar, drum, keyboard, vocal.
South: Keyboard, vocal, dance.
East: Guitar, drum, keyboard, vocal.
West: Trumet, Sax, chelo, guitar, vocal.

My sign-up
Name: Kaida Hitachiin (Kai)
Title: The Dancing Flame
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Description: Kai is a half-breed, a cross between a Rizumu and a tiger. She has long flowing red hair that reaches past her shoulder blades and light orange highlights that grace the stream of darker red. The top of her hair is kept at bay by a long strand of black material which makes the top of her hair stick out in all manners of directions (some think it to be gelled in place, but it is in fact natural). Her eyes are cat like and are colored a deep emerald which tends to stand out shockingly in contrast with the mop of flame red hair atop her head. Kai has a lithe frame which lacks bulging muscles but is still lightly toned.
Upon her physique she wears a black short sleeved crop top and an even shorter, black denim jacket with silver chains and clasps, leaving the hem of her crop top visible as well as her bare stomach. Covering her lower half are a pair of ragged, baggy blue jeans that fall slightly to reveal whatever underwear she wears underneath her attire, the right leg of these jeans is cut short to just below her knee join, the legs leg is then left to flare to cover a pair of heavy, black and orange vans.
Multiple leather belts wrap around her waste and attached to these are an equal amount of silver chains and trinkets. Around her neck is a black bandana and multiple bracelets of bright colours decorate both of her lower arms and her ankles. Her eyes are decorated with heavy amounts of black eyeliner and an overly large amount of orange eye shadow, her long, sharp nails are also painted the same orange and black colour as are the gems that are pierced through her bellybutton, her right eyebrow and her tongue (orange).
Accompanying her first set of pointed ears are a second set that lay perched atop her head, but unlike the average Rizumu ears, these are a pair of tigers ears, decorated with orange, white and black fur, both sets are heavily pierced with earrings. Another tiger addition to her physique are the black stripes that decorate her slightly tanned skin. The two sets of stripes that decorate her feline shaped face are the most obvious as are the ones that decorate her exposed stomach, back and right leg, the rest are covered by her clothing. She bares pointed fangs that jut out from beneath her full lips and a tiger's tail that sprouts from a hole in the back of her loose fitting jeans.
Personality: Kai is cocky, witty and always looking for a bit of fun. In all she is a mischief maker and always seems to rush into things without thinking, which normally either gets her into a heap load of trouble with enemies, or at least her allies. Though she has a quick thinking nature, she is in fact a strategist and can always be counted on to think of a plan in a tight situation. As her element indicates, she has a fiery temper and finds it hard to keep her comments to herself. At one moment she can be well behaved (if not a little sarcastic), and than at another moment angered beyond control. Her moods come and go like the wind, but her fiery personality always remains the same.
Music Genre/ Sector: Punk- Rock/ Northern sector
Instrument Description: Kai carries a guitar upon her back. Its base colour is black, but it has a tribal-flame pattern running up its right side. On its back is a picture of a tiger made purely out of flames.
Element: Fire
Half blood or Pure blood: Rizumu/ Tiger half blood.
Weapon: A pair of chackrams.
Beginning abilities: Will edit
History: Will edit
