You Awaken Amidst Destruction...
There is a hole of some sort. A hole in the universe. A Rift. Beings, people, even monsters have arrived through it. Torn away from their lives and everything familiar to them. Who are you? or What are you? Human? Monster? Something else...

Is the Earth Prepared?
The otherworldly beings are not the only ones aware of the Rift. There are people on Earth who have noticed that something has gone terribly wrong and they seek to find out what has happened and fix it... before it is too late...

Why has this happened to me?
There are some, from earth, who have simply appeared. They seemingly have no reason nor connection to this event... At least, that is how things appear at first glance...

Will we ever be the same?
That, my friend, is up to you! The power is in your hands!

1. Normal rules of the Casual forum all apply.
2. One character per one player please.
3. Have fun!

Wow! That was easy!

There are three groups of characters.
1. Other World Folk.
2. Members of TRIDENT - Secret organization devoted paranormal and supernatural investigation.
3. Innocent bystanders from earth

If you want to play an Other Worldly person...
- You are from another world or another time.
- You can be of any class, species, or profession.
- You can be from an already made fictional universe such as from a book, video game, movie, etc. If you do this your character should still be original!
- Please no one who already experienced in time or dimension travel... that would just create a really big plot-hole really early on...

If you want to play a member of TRIDENT...
- TRIDENT is a multinational secret organization! Most people in the world do not know about, or do not understand the para and super-normal. Nor do they have the means to properly deal with it once such things get out of hand. TRIDENT is the exception to this rule, and they seek to lend a helping hand when needed.
- The organization is loosely organized into a few specialized teams. The team that has been sent to investigate the Rift is called MERCY. Mobil Emergency Reconnaissance Contrl Y-team (Letter is a team designation. Yes, they totally thought of MERCY before they decided on the acronym.)
- TRIDENT recruits discretely. Members of TRIDENT have likely either encountered something strange before being recruited, or are a bit strange themselves. Many members of TRIDENT have special talents and abilities.

If you want to play an innocent bystander...
- That would be great!
- Seemingly normal person with little to no previous knowledge or encounters with the super or paranormal.
- Seemingly normal.

**A quick note on 'power levels'**
Authored by Jdh97 Co-GM Extraordinaire.
A few things added by Eyeris.

To avoid unfair impact upon the game and the possible derailing of this plot and character driven role-play game, it is respectfully requested that you keep the strength of your character low. What does this mean?

- Your character should not be able actively seek conflict without fear of reprimand or consequence/ We do not want to kill characters off prematurely, but that doesn’t mean bad things won’t happen to those who leave no other option.

- Your character should not have powers or a power set that allow you to directly manipulate the actions and other PCs and NPCs. Powers such as mind-reading may people allowed, but exactly what can be discovered from this would be decided between the players involved and our lovely GM.

- Weaknesses should be more exploitable with stronger characters, at least at the start of the game.

- Weaknesses should be weaknesses. Something an average human could use against your character.

- Many of the characters are normal humans. This is the scale we are working with.

- Don't worry! Your character will 'level up' as the game goes and you may learn new powers and abilities! But we are starting from the beginning of a story! We should be playing appropriate characters for that!

If there is anything you want to be a secret, please feel free to PM me the information.

DR. TWAIN - Team leader of MERCY


ZESIRO - Communications technologist of MERCY


ICARUS - Member of MERCY.


DZEL - Member of MERCY

Xela Reiva is one of two twin planets that orbit the star Xelasenno. It's atmosphere and biosphere are very similar to Earth's. It is about 1.6 times the size of Earth.There are 5 continents(Sendai, Olitai, Xelar, Condu, and Hiequa) and 4 Oceans(Cestia, Brendu, Kegna, and Tensai). The planet is ruled by a monarchy set up by the original Reiva Xela after a crisis involving the twin planet Xela Redna. There are two intergalactic factions the Reivan faction which has it's base on Xela Reiva and the Redna faction based on Xela Redna.

Alex is about 6 ft tall with an athletic build. He has short black hair and his skin is tan. His eyes are normally dark brown but in certain situations they look like there is a storm happening in his irises(tip: if you cause this to happen RUN). He has a square jaw, a prominent nose, and a few miscellaneous scars that make him look like a veteran of battle.

Yes Alex likes to cook, but he enjoys eating more. He has the ability to use Xela which translates to Storm of Unity or Unifying Storm it is basically a fusion of the 7 main elements Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Darkness though he usually uses Fire, Darkness, and/or Wind. He is able to make clones of himself that are much weaker than his main body and will eventually disappear. He is telekinetic but can't use it without concentrating on the object(s). He is telepathic but can't read peoples minds unless he is allowed to he mostly uses it for communication. He also has the ability to fly and teleport but can't teleport instantly he has to be able to completely concentrate on his intended location and he has to know in what general direction it is. He is very intelligent by human standards but is pretty average where he comes from. He has received extensive training in melee combat and prefers it to ranged fighting.

Killing Alex isn't any harder than killing a highly trained soldier if you can negate his powers or match them.
He is not immune to fatigue in fact if he were to use his powers without rest it would kill him.
He will hold back against an opponent that he thinks is unable to kill him.
He must take time every 2-4 days to gather energy which he automatically does while asleep but doing it while awake is more effective if he does not gather energy he will be unable to use his powers and can even die.
Alex has seals that will activate to keep his powers from being stolen. These seals render most of his abilities unusable or extremely weakened.

Crenaxela- a sentient crystal that can transform into a spear/staff and swords of varying sizes only 1-2 swords at once and if 2 they are more like long daggers

Alexavier's life was different from the start. When he was born and given his soul crystal it revealed his name and it's own as Alexavier and Crenaxela respectively. It also revealed that Alex had three personalities and was destined to be the Reiva Xela. The Reiva Xela is one of two masters of Xela that lead the two factions. While anyone can learn to use Xela only the Reiva and Redna Xelas can master it. His father Coran the King of Xela Reiva determined that his son would be treated just as any other child with an elemental affinity on the planet. While this was his father's wish Alex still had powerful seals placed on him that would activate and seal most of his power if someone were to try to steal them. When Alex reached the age of 4 he was sent to the off-planet Veneran Academy where all children born with an elemental affinity from both factions were sent. There he met the other children destined to be the other seven Reivas and eight Rednas of the future. He learned and trained there for 10 years before he was sent home. For the next two and a half years he fought in the military and became a highly decorated soldier. When he hit 17 the time had come for him to take his place on the Reivan Council as the leader. As he was returning from a mission to Xela Reiva for the ceremony the Rift took him.

Alexander is a bit violent. He prefers solving disagreements with force and is extremely confident in his own abilities. He is bold, hotheaded, and is an extreme extrovert.

Xavier is almost the complete opposite of Alexander. If there is a disagreement force is a last resort. He is introverted, analytical, and makes calculated decisions.

Alexavier is between the other two's personalities. He will use force to back up his words if he thinks it will help his position. He is confident in his abilities but doesn't rush in blindly. He is outgoing and friendly, unless you get his bad side(aka threatens someone her cares about) in which case he is terrifying and he will stop at nothing to protect those he cares about. He is feircely loyal to his friends. He will help people without reason other than that it is the right thing to do.

Temperance,The Eastern Ridges. Temperance is a Planet with a Magical core that is somewhat a conscious entity. Temperance residents use catalysts forged at one of the four Great Catalysts to wield various forms of magic. This method was developed by artisan blacksmiths throughout the ages once the greater population realized that tapping into the core’s raw magic was detrimental to the environment. It only took a major re-terraforming of the world which the core initiated through its agents, and decades of seeking out what little syphons or veins were left across the new land masses for everyone to realize that days of using raw magic were gone.

Some of Temperance’s most pristine breweries and distilleries are found within the Eastern Ridges and due to the favorable climate, some of the largest plant life known to Temperance make their homes around this landmass. Some bloom flowers the size of men with vibrant colors and sweet fragrances, while others remain smaller and more subtle. Needless to say that a walk in a well kept garden would be a fond memory to recall long after the visit, and you will find no gardens finer both natural or made across any of the other landmasses.

The mountainous regions of the Eastern Ridges are the natural habitat for a few species of wildlife indigenous to this Landmass. Among the higher mountain ranges an Avian species known as the Winddancers claim the jagged cliff sides as their homes. They are a winged creatures and are regarded as quite intelligent. The monks of the Eastern Ridges have a monastery nestled within a small mountain range. Dimitris Monastery. Over the years they have developed a bond with the Windancers not seen anywhere else in Temperance. It is not uncommon for them to be seen riding on the backs of these great creatures.

A catalyst is linked to a person’s soul and this link is what causes the reaction of the magic, they can have multiple catalyst linked to their souls, but too many of them would send a person into madness, and the use of all of them at once would cause physical and mental fatigue of the person until they eventually, could no longer fight or outright died. The larger the catalyst the more powerful it is. Most catalysts look like crystals varying in color and shape.
