The Crystal, a creation made by the Gods. The Crystal is the reason the world known as Gaea exists, a world filled with light and darkness. But the Crystal was the guardian of light that protected Gaea from the darkness within. It was a peaceful world, filled with green trees and grass, pure water, and beautiful clouds.
At least it was.
-The Crystal War-
50 years ago, the Crystal War had begun. The Crystal War was a war of all nations, for the Gods' creation. The army of the Pheonix Republic had sought out to steal the Crystal from the center of Gaea, yet the Kingdom of Azrael were the protectors of the Crystal to make sure nothing like this would ever happen.
An thus, the first day of the Crystal War had started. The Pheonix army sneak attacked the Azrael Kingdom. The rest of the world learned of this news, and either joined the Pheonix in fear of them becoming all powerful with the Crystal and thought this would keep them safe in the world, or joined the Azrael in order to protect the Crystal from being used for evil reasons.
The second day was full out warfare across the land, two sides battling on another. Villages burned, families killed, all for greed and power. The some empires started to develop more weapons out of their advanced technology, gaining an advantage in the war. Others were not so lucky.
The third day, the Pheonix had started developing a weapon of mass destruction from Gaea's inner energy. They had unknowingly created a nuke that would effect the whole world in only 48 hours.
The fourth day, the war was getting more intense. Nations were starting to be bombed and full destroyed by other nations. The fifth day, was when the Pheonix decided to drop the bomb on at the Crystal's area, where their enemy was guarding it. The effects of the bombing was something they never expected...
It worked, but a few days had passed and snow had started falling even though it wasn't Winter. Then blizzards, then snowstorms occasionally, then they started happening every day across Gaea. The world of Gaea turned into a full on ice planet, a nuclear winter across the whole world.
The Crystal had disappeared, people believed it was somehow destroyed because of Pheonix's bombing. The darkness that was once held back by the Crystal's barrier had come out, and the monsters had started attacking as well.
The whole world, had become a wasteland.
-The After Years-
The remaining life that did survive the bombings, adapted to the never stopping Winter, and learned how to fight for themselves started to rebuild the world. There was no way to go back to peace though.
The darkness had consumed the world, with barely any light to fight back without the Crystal. Some brave or stupid attempt to fight back the darkness, but end up dead, or turned into darkness themselves. People have searched for the Crystal, looking for help. Looking for hope to stop what was happening.
And soon enough, the Crystal was alive still, frozen in ice, but still with a warm bright glow. Most people believed this as a rumor, something to make them feel hopefully. Little did they know, it was very. Very real, and the New Order knew so.
The New Order, an new army, have looked for the Crystal as well. They say they would use it for the right causes, but they want to Crystal for it's power like the Pheonix Republic once did. With the surviving governemts and armies weakened badly, if the New Order found the Crystal, they would be able to take complete control of Gaea.
The New Order is one of the strongest armies to exist, filled with people who have their heart in the right place, but their leader with evil thoughts.
Would the Crystal ever return? Would Gaea ever return to peace again? No one knows, but one can only hope.
-Now-
"You can hear me, I know you can.." A young girl's voice echoed in your mind. "You have to save it." To save what, is the first you thought. Was this just a dream, or were you hallucinating from the cold. Were you dying from hypothermia?
"The Crystal's alive, you have to save it from them, the evil ones." You were starting to become more confused, but the girl was weeping and her voice was in the form of a plea. Maybe this was your mind making up something, but what if the Crystal was actually out there?
"They are looking for it, you must find it first." She clasped her hands together. Her hair was a dark brown color, but her eyes were unnaturally a bright electric glowing blue. She looked innocent, as she wore a white dress with no sleeves. Everything around her was just a dark color, but there was an blue glowing aura around her. Giving off light.
"I'm running out of time, please... hurry!"
And suddenly you woke up, sweating. Back to reality.
I hope you guys are interested in this story idea. Since Final Fantasy is an big anthology of games, I decided to make an RP out of it with an original idea of mine that I'm pretty sure that hasn't been used in one of these types of FF Rps. This roleplay is based off Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy, which is a mini-series of Final Fantasy games that involve some sort of Crystal in them.
Fun fact: Fabula Nova Crystallis is Latin, but it translates in English to 'The New Tale of the Crystal'. I'm currently trying to work on a RPG EXP and battle system for it. As you can't really do Final Fantasy without something like that, unless you guys would just rather go on a regular roleplay type.
I'm looking for people to post at least once a week, but if you can't that's understandable. Contact me before that and if you know so, and try to come up with an idea why your character would be inactive for the time you wouldn't be there. And if you don't want to be in the roleplay, just say so. Y'know?
RULES:
1): Always have fun, no fighting or arguments in the OOC. If you have a problem with another player, take it up with me or them or both of us in PMs.
2): GMs and Co-GMs' word is law (but don't think you can't correct us if we're wrong, please.)
3): Even though this is an Advanced roleplay, I only care about quality not quantity. Your posts do have to be at least 2 paragraphs though.
4): No insta-killing, godmodding, or controlling another character for your benefit and without the character's player consent.
5): Romance is allowed, but keep it PG-13. Since when have you ever seen a sex scene in a Final Fantasy game? If you do want to go over PG-13, bring it to the PMs, please.
W.I.P.
