Ok I made a few changes to the elements. Again... sorry.
Basically, Plant (now called Flora because it sounds cooler, thanks synchronize), metal and Lightning are separate elements. Water and ice... i really dont know about. Should they be one element? Or 2 separate ones? They are currently classified as separate so Noyuri, you might need to change your character to Ice. Also, pets are acquired only once the elementals reach Nature's Haven. So Noyuri, your character cant have roamed the land with Scylla.
Also, most people tend to forget that it is basically impossible to live outside the city because of the amount of garbage. Theres no drinkable water, nor food, outside of cities.
Elementals are born with their powers, but acquire both their items and pets later. You can have an item before your elemental reaches Nature's Haven, but it isn't enchanted before, just a normal item. So Clarent couldn'thave been found in a museum, or if yes, it wasn't enchanted. I'll just assume the latter.

I might have to drop this RP. I currently have too many with similar concepts, and this one hasn't started yet so I felt it was best not to go on with this one rather than abandon one already going.

i think water and ice should be separate since all the other elements are. but noyuri brings up a good point that there are currently no other water elementals so it doesnt really matter tbh. :p

if we are born with our powers, was it random? or does everyone have powers? im just curious as to why we have powers in the first place and how we obtained them.

also, you should probably update the first post with the other accepted characters. :p

I agree it is vague but everything will be explained to you at the start of the RP.
It is fairly random who got the powers. Like in Xmen, where mutants are everywhere.
Elementals were born out of necessity because they are the only hope. It is a savijg the world sort of thing.

Name: Sullivan AdairAge: 21Element: DarknessAppearance: Before going to a forest to live, he had a handsome, chiseled face and beautiful, wavy auburn hair. Now, he has long, matted hair and a scraggly beard. He'd picked up an infection that inflamed the skin around his face, neck, and shoulders monstrously. The only thing about his face that hasn't changed is his glassy black eyes. He is short and skinny, but without meaning to, he can appear much larger than he really is.Personality: In a community, Sullivan is very vague and reserved, only speaking when he has to. He likes to hide in the shadows, where he can watch the action without getting involved. When one has known him long enough, they figure out that he's remarkably charismatic and would be able to move a crowd.History: Sullivan used to be in somewhat of a position of power. With his reputation at first protected by his wealth and the bias of the media, he was secretly part of a destructive chain of events. When he was found out, he was practically exiled from society and ended up having to live in a forest. It was hard at first, but now, a year later, he fares reasonably well. He wants to atone for his past sins, but stripped of his powerful position, he doesn't know how.Feel for element: Having a keen eye, Sullivan is a natural master of illusions. He uses his element to hide by either turning invisible or, more commonly, manipulating the shadows so that they hide him. He's very grateful for these powers because in order for him to live in peace, he can't be seen by anyone. Still, having recently discovered these powers, he doesn't know how they could be useful.Enchanted items: - Secret: a cowl that completely hides his face by casting it in shadow.- Vice: a dagger that makes no sound when unsheathed and is visible only to Sullivan.Pet: a Great Horned Owl named Luna


Sorry mate, but my character already has the power Darkness.
i don't also think that the GM wants of each elemental.

Nonono, it doesn't matter if theres more of one kind, but It would be better. Way better if there would be AT LEAST one of each.
Theres no cap limit on how many people there can be of one element. However his history isn't good enough because his character apparently lived in a forest. Too bad all the forests are cut out...

For the ones who saw the movie Wall-e, it's like that. Trash everywhere, no plants. Except that here there still are people living in cities.

I'm sorry, as I left this RP I probably should leave it alone.
I just can't help but get a slightly annoyed feeling and I am just going to say them no matter whether they make me unliked or not:
Could you please refrain from calling people's character sheets 'not good enough'? You don't know how much effort someone puts into something, and not good enough is quite derogatory. I know this might be just a form thing, but perhaps phrases like 'Doesn't match the lore' are way less offensive, and actually describe the problem better.
Also, people (or I dont know if I talk for others or only myself so let us just say 'I' instead) usually put some effort in thinking of their sheet. While it is okay to make people rewrite parts, if this happens too often, people will get annoyed (once again, just replace with I if others dont agree). To avoid that, you should think of all rules before people have already started. First you tell people that they can have powerful weapons, then suddenly they can't have those, first you have pets, suddenly those didnt exist in you past etc. I guess it might seem like it doesn't matter that much, but people write back stories that contain them, and it might be really hard for them to rewrite it countless times.

So yeah, I'm sorry for butting in on something that no longer is my business, but I couldn't help it.

I'm quite intrigued by this role-play. These kinds of stories are my favourite. If you were still needing people I have an idea for an Ice-type character, and it would seem you have an opening for that. But I do have a few questions: 1) What year is it? 2) What standards do you want with your RP? I have a preference for high-casual.

You're absolutely right. I didn't mean it that way but that doesn't change the fact I wrote it.
About the changes. Its my first RP ever and I'm still learning how things work and I generally have the tendency over internet to assume that people know what I meant. I do realise it's confusing to follow and there's no one to blame but me for that, editing the front post 5 times a day isn't the best way to get info through.
I apologize for everyone here for the mess and also for my rough language. As I stated before, I do read and take into consideration everything you write and like all your creations and everything. If I do something wrong let me know like Noyuri did.

There can be more of each elemental, not just one, check the first post, I'm sure its written there. Somewhere...
We don't have a fire Elemental though yet
And you should be gentle with me since this is the first RP for me aswell. All I ask of you is to read the plot and everything if you haven't already from the first post and try to get into the world of the RP.
Pets are just a way I called them, if you look over Synchronize's Character Sheet linked in the first post, the nameless unfinished character, there's a non-animal "pet".
Pets are summonable and "un-summonable", no estrictions. Could even be a giant worm if you want (that would fit an earth elemental though) just don't have a fire fish or something with too much contrast even though it would be quite funny now thinking about it.

Year? 2014 :P
Also in the RP though it is a sort of alternate universe where Vygorns exist and took control without the humans knowing it.
About standard, I don't expect anything really but would like to see a lot of character development and unexpected turns.

This is pretty important and has a big role,
Xzayler said When the RP starts, you are in total control of your character! You can start digging a hole in the desert if you like or go to parties and not give a damn about Vygorns and the end of the world. However it is advised to do things related to the plot. Please.
I repeat and I can't stress this enough You are in control!
Keep it reasonable though. You won't be creating an explosion the size and power of an Atom-Bomb just after having gained your powers.
So guys, no super mega beams of darkness that annihilates everyone. No mega killer golem who can take missiles to the head and laugh at them as they explode and do nothing. Action packed fighting is whats needed. Most Vygorns aren't that strong, (most) but they are great in numbers, I guarantee you. And if you cause trouble and get attention the humans will be on the hunt for you as well, with guns and helicopters. It will get more intense as you get stronger.


Frankly, I don't know what high-casual really means as I started recently.
But to give you an idea:
Creatures born from the Void, the Nothingness.
People able to control certain aspects of nature and have summonable pets, helping embodiments of their element

What I'd like to see:
Action packed fights with explosions, near-deaths or actual deaths. Rockets flying, blade-to-blade battles, giant trash golems smashing things.
Extremely unexpected twists that will make you rage.
Characters taking different turns, not just following the plot like puppets. Rebelling, saying no! Now I will kill that dude whether you like it or not. And other characters reacting to other character's actions.
I'd like this to be kind of dramatic as well at times and hope it can create hints of actual emotions as if it was happening before their eyes.

Its up to you how you use your character's powers, I won't be telling you how to use them, just don't exaggerate. The characters should be in real danger, there is on one swipe of the hand and the whole city gets razed sort of thing. And there's a LOT of people trying to kill you.

Elves as a race aren't in the lore of the RP but you can create a human which has sort-of-elvish features like slim body, agile movements and a large control of his/her element compared to the others.
And have a bow as an enchanted item :)

To add to what Xzayler said, this RP is going to focus a ton on action, combat, and character interaction. Writing-wise, I don't think I would consider it completely high-casual (at the moment, there's no set post-length requirements other than what is necessary for a casual roleplay), but I would say that the openness of the plot and the emphasis on character would go well with that style. Tl;dr: we're not technically high-casual but we might as well be.

Name: Shida of the Swift Death
Age: 22
Element: Fire
Race: Human Male
Appearance: As Below


Personality:
Cunning, cautious, spiteful and playfully argumentative,materilalistic, judgmental, arrogant, idealistic, callous, deep hatred of those who abuse power, looks down upon those who let themselves be used, enjoys hurting bad people, and has a warped sense of justice. When emotional, he has a hard time holding back his power. Has always had a disdain of mankind and all of its scum, no man was safe from his judgement; and at the same time calm, but quick to anger can be rash and reckless on the attack but always thinking ahead. Willing to sacrifice a lot to kill his enemy, has no perception of value of human life, he once burned down an entire village to chase down the guy that stole his bag of silver. People to him are just things to be used or burned if it would help him destroy his enemy. There is almost no light to his person despite the low flame that burns deep within him. All he wanted was the power to save his family that night, when he accidentally burned down his house defending it from raiders attacking his village; he was fourteen at the time. On top of killing his only remaining family and having lost his home; Earth, this fucked over planet had gone to shit, everybody was either being oppressed by the army or mindfucked by politicians and dwelling in denial. Some people he thought he could trust turned to be too violent for his liking and needed to be put down. He found it revolting, people letting their self-preservation slip away.. Society was a joke to him now, hopes, dreams, love, all just things that people use as a crutch to feel ok with getting ripped off beaten or sneered at. The only form of resolution Shida was ever concerned with, was execution by flaming. (Will reveal more about him inG)

History:
He mastered the bow from a very young age, being the best of all his contests at school, but that didn't stop the others from calling him a freak. Ever since he discovered his power, he had always been alone, estranged from others, afraid of hurting them. He knew something was different about him; he felt as though the flames spoke to him telling him to kill. There was no more fear of death, along with that, his value of life. He found himself quite attuned to the chaos of this broken land, he loves risking his life and feeling alive in combat. But as he began to use his power, he saw the destruction, and complete helplessness he could make others beg for their lives while holding the fire in his eyes to them. Being trapped in the his isolation of his own power, he forgot what friends were like, what care and love were. He hardly enjoyed the friends he made, they were all either trying to use him from the start or brag to him about something he didn't have time for. There was a burden that came of this long and desolate world, pressed into him. But he wasn't going to let this rotting planet stop him from shaping the world around him. Sometimes he thought he noticed if there were forces at play that he could not see, people acted strange sometimes and never lived up to there dreams, happy people commit suicide, experienced unnatural confusion. These were all ailments of an anonymous plague that infected the minds of people here, but he has never been sure. In his eyes people were not what they once had been to to him, not willful. The strangest thing was, no one else saw it; but him it seemed. Losing his faith in humanity, he had turned to face an even darker side of his depression. Cut off from human life constantly finding himself exiled from everywhere he went. He ended up joining a band of cutthroats and sharks, misfits, he hid his powers from them as long as he could, learning to fight, and use fear as his weapon without much help from his ability's. As they stalked the wastes together, he eventually became a master of espionage, taking out caravans and looting rich peoples ordered goods. No matter how many guards there were or how many of his comrades died, he always lived on.. During a raid he conducted one night he lost control of his powers just for a moment, it was a close with a gun a merchant unexpectedly had. At that moment, he exposed himself as; a freak. When one of his comrades began to call him out, he slaughtered them all without a second thought. He took what food and gold he could could carry, then walked away. Behind him a pile of burning scum and bloodstained swords in the dead of night, he was truly, alone.

Feel for element:
Shida can create fire by focusing his energy somewhere he can see. He could potentially light a person or house/object on fire, without anyone having seen it was him. He prefers to fight at a distance with a bow firing exploding arrows at foes, lighting his targets on fire and killing any witnesses before anyone can know what happened. Tactics are whats important to him, assuring victory in the first seconds the beginning of the fight. Killing his enemy is always the number one priority. If things do heat up for him he can usually find a quick way to escape as he is very agile. He is a skilled fighter as well, wielding his proclaimed The Blade of Scorn that he manipulates uses to launch quick arcs of flame; not to shabby at decapitating a head either. Aswell as his flame whip Firedancer to trip up his enemies with. If caught without his weapons or to take down surrounding foes he can summon fire to incinerate his foes in a great cage of flames although he will be vulnerable to attack afterwards from energy depletion. Or he can fight through his enemies Releasing fire balls through his hands and legs quickly showing prowess in movement and escape. Drop attacks, evasive strikes, getting in between foes ect.

Enchanted items:
Bow of The Undying Flame - Shoots explosive fire arrows. Firedancer, a flaming whip that trips up his enemies quickly, and Wrath of Scorn a sword that shoots flaming arcs with each slash lighting distant and close foes ablaze.

Pet:
A Phoenix named Tath that he can share a mind with and get a tactical overview of the battlefield beforehand and send flying into enemies to explode and ignite and area. Can also pick up Shida and carry him to heights and away from danger to get a vantage point. He shares a strong sense of companionship with Tath, as he feels she is the only one who truly cares about him.
