Default Swords of the Forsaken

Long ago, a battle between the gods went on for thousands of year. Finally the gods left the humans to make their own fate. The dark god, Karvuu'n, divided his powers to certain chosen individuals within the human race. These individuals were more powerful, as they soon realized. They also became in control of a particular element of the world. These elements that make up everything in existance were Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth. But the Dark god also had elements unique to his being, Death and Chaos. These six cursed souls were let loose upon the world, bent on laying the world at the dark gods feet.

The God of Light realized too late, as the chosen of the dark god were little by little influenced by the Dark God's intentions, throwing the world of human's world out of balance. Therefore to rebalance it, the god of light imbued six chosen humans to rebalance the world with the elements of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, in addition to Life and Order. Like the dark God's cursed, the chosen humans are compelled to stop the other side little by little, until it changes their moral's to destroy all things tainted by the dark god.

Now the world is in a fight between Good and evil, each side trying to out balance the other. In such a world, it really is winner take all. Whose side will you choose?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See OOC Thread for Information on the Profile Template and to apply for the RP. I will be fair to everyone when they make their profiles so the RP is fun.

Basically this RP is about neutralizing the other side. Even I am fair game, though, I will still watch over you all from a third-person point of view. I also want this to be realistic, it takes time to heal, and so forth. Your first opponent will be your opposing element from the opposite alignment, your characters are opposites and thus are drawn to each other to fight. In a major battle, they would single each other out and attack.
Each element has a particular ability that can help out the team as a whole.
As a side note, each side has no idea of the other sides posts. If an element is left blank, they lose that power to benefit their team, however, they are allowed to be more powerful to compensate for the uneven members, but not so much that its a one sided battle.
**Each team Will start at the shrine of the Light god or Dark God depending on the side you are on. it is approximately two days walk in between each shrine, so that gives you a bit of time to get to know your Elementalists and relax before you meet the other Gods chosen. Each team knows the other starts at their their god's shrine, for it it the day of the gods (who knew).
**Each side has no idea of of the powers of the other team in RP. So you can't devise a strategy ahead of time against people. This makes it fair.
**Until you encounter the other team, you cannot speak to them (since they are two days travel away)

Read the elemental bonuses for your team. You might want to keep certain members alive so that you retain certain bonuses. Take these into concideration when picking your elements:

**If you die, you are not neccessarily out of the RP, there are two special elements that can allow you to come back Life and Death. Both of these elements have the ability to bring their comrades back to life, they are sort of a safety net for characters.
**Earth elements can heal wounds of their teammates outside of battle, making a retreat and then performing an ambush hours later instead of weeks later. They have a hard time disinfecting wounds and curing disease unlike the water elements, however.
**Wind elements double the travel speed of all party members, allowing you to get to a place in half the time.
**Water elements allow their members to breath underwater, making travel a lot easier in certain situations. They can also cure illness, poisons, and disease better than earth elements. However when it comes to mending bones and closing wounds, water elements are not nearly as skilled as earth elements.
**Fire elements can repair broken equipment in only a few minutes without altering the quality of that weapon.
**Order and Chaos elements know where their opposite it once every twelve hours. This effect is not constant, but rather, the connection is only for a second, and they each know where the other is. This can make a retreat more difficult or it let you know how close your pursuer is to catching up to you.

As of current, these are the elemental Slots. Since all the profiles will take up too much room, i'll just post the names and character names here. You can see their Character profiles in the OOC portion by clicking that Characters name (Which is a link to their Character Profile. You can also see the Profiles of all the members by clicking on their name. This is for to make seeing who your fellow RPers are easier:

**Approved Characters, remember the restrictions we agreed on for your powers. These restrictions make the RP fair for everyone [Generally, these restrictions are cool down times for powers or a limit on the area of effect for their power(s)].

Light God:

Earth - Sakari/ Lilly Rose
Wind - Jesse6991/Darsis
Fire -devknight/Cloud Grace
Water -
Order - Healing_Raven/Nyra Lindow
Life -


Dark God:

Earth - Scorpion187/Seth
Wind -
Fire - Zegram/Javen
Water -
Chaos - Ladypuppet/Vithra Loveblood
Death -


**People who do not post for a week without giving me a reason for their absence from the RP will be deleted and their postion will become open again. This is so that each element is involved with the storyline, so whenever an Elementalist dies and is not revived, their god's essence that contained that element finds a new host to inhabit. This means, if your quick enough, you can create a new character if you see any flaws in your last one, or you just want to try something new.
**When one side is victorious, list of Elementalists will reset. A new thread will be set up if everyone liked the RP, and new Elementalists will be created.
**Most importantly, have fun people.

no, basically, every twelve hours, you for a split second, know where the Elementalist of Chaos is. This way the Groups are aimlessly looking for each other. This way they can find each other. But the information you would recieve is momentary and not constant, so they could move to a different location and you wouldn't know.
Order and Chaos are a kind of compass and point the way to each other basically.
Does that make sense?

It was a typo. Its supposed to be:
**Order and Chaos elements know where their opposite it once every twelve hours. This effect is not constant, but rather, the connection is only for a second, and they each know where the other is.

Darsis sat at the shrine of the God of Light. He sighed as he propped up a knee and rested his forearm on it. When are the rest of them going to get here? he thought to himself. He looked up at the dragon statue above him, each individual gold scale fit perfectly with the next, making a flawless skin for the statue. A radiant glow issued from the dragon.
Darsis looked at the statue then snorted, "The gods curse instead of bless it seems. Even the God of Light." He stood up to stretch his legs, the other Light Elementalists should be here shortly, he thought.

Amon entered the temple of the Dark God his stride as strong and sure as ever. Upon looking around he noticed that none of the othere chosen of the Dark God had arrived yet. Knowing that they would be arriving soon enough he simply sat down to wait for them to arrive.
