Summary: In a parallel world, Europe is ruled by tyrants and dictators. The government is corrupt and people are either wealthy, or suffer from poverty, while the rest of the world sit and watch, too scared to do anything. The story takes place in a large town in alternate universe Scotland called Ryaes, where the dictator who rules the British Isles creates weaponry. However, when the Scandinavian Ruler, who was blackmailed into supplying him with the materials, suddenly refuses to give any more, he goes mad planning revenge upon the former. He doesn’t have enough troops to patrol the towns while attacking the French, so in an attempt to frighten the other, he sends two of his elite groups of assassins to burn down Ryaes, which is located along the coast, extremely close to Scandinavian land. The story starts the day before the annihilation of Ryaes, and follows the characters through their lives as they meet up, form a group, and try to find their place in the world. (Eventually they will take down the assassins who destroyed their homes and their leader)
Scavengers: People who have resorted to finding abandoned towns, corpses, and no-longer-used stores for things to steal and sell, mainly at the black market.
Seals: Patches that - when in contact with living cells - can drug the target. They are clear, circular, and have the drug name printed on them.
Crystals: Vibrant-colored material from deep inside the Earth in various shapes and sizes. They have special properties, and can manipulate the kinetic energy of one element each, mainly the basic ones, and have one factor depending on their element. They are mostly put into weaponry. (Example: It’s like having a kinesis. Put a fire crystal in a gun: INSTANT FLAMETHROWER!)
Elements and their properties:
Fire- Overheat. Basically causes peoples insides to burst in flame, depending on the crystal strength. If the crystal is weak, all it does is cause them to feel like they’ve been standing in the sun too long.
Water- Serenity. Acts like a sleep drug, but can put people into a coma. Weak crystals will only slow the opponent down a bit.
Earth- Gravity. It causes the gravitational pull on a selected target to rise. Can squash people flat, and possibly split organs from the force.
Air- Disperse. Causes targets molecules to try to move away from each other for a time.
Dark- Desynchronize. It can desynchronize certain parts of the target, such as control over limbs. Strong crystals can detach the soul from the body.
Light- Coordinate. Pretty much opposite of desynchronize. Light acts kind of like a leader, and can gain control over other peoples bodies, if strong enough.
Sub-elements: These are extremely rare and only belong to those who can pay enough.
Ice-???
Lightning-???
Metal-???
Solar-???
Lunar-???
Affinities: When someone has an affinity for a certain element. It depends on their personality, really. Also, everyone will have an affinity for one element and one sub-element, but it must match their personality.
Anyone interested?
