P R E M I S E
Life in the Union has never been easy. Overlord is constantly watching every step and listening to every word. People go missing all the time for saying or implying the wrong thing. Protectors patrol the streets armed to the teeth and ready to ‘assist’ anyone who breaks protocol. Every broadcast and educational information is altered to fit the agenda of the Union. The old religion of the world and knowledge of the Way is outright removed from the collective consciousness. There is only the Union and obedience to it.

One day, a missile strikes the outskirts of the city of Oakridge. This kind of attack is usually ignored. There are three Unions in the world, and they are constantly at war with each other. The city of Oakridge is in a Union called Elkoss Combine. The relentless propaganda machine of the Union tells everyone to go about their business. However, later the same day, panic strikes the city when strange creatures emerge from the Underground and begin to attack everyone on sight. Overlord orders a total lockdown of the city. Protectors in hazmat gear and heavy firepower swarm the streets. Those who have been attacked by the creatures appear to mutate and come back to life, but seemingly devoid of all humanity.

Resistance Forces within the city seize the moment to overthrow the Union. They launch an attack on several key locations and structures. A small cell of volunteers finds itself in a bizarre situation deep within Union Headquarters. The volunteers discover a strange specimen in what appears to be a research laboratory. The creature looks nothing like anything they have ever seen before. They also find texts and instructions in a completely alien language. Moments later, they are ambushed by elite Union Forces that appears to have been mutated. The volunteers barely escape the building. After attempting to make contact with the Resistance, they hear a distress beacon coming from the other side of the city.

The volunteers arrive at the aftermath of some incomprehensible conflict. They find the leader of the Resistance at his dying breath. He speaks cryptic words about something called Project Agora and the fusion of planets. The volunteers are told to contact the Resistance forces of a nearby Neutral Zone. The volunteers learn that an Aesir of the Solar System, or beyond, may have been forcefully awakened and on its way to the Earth.

In this story you play a citizen of Oakridge. While a citizen, this person is not ordinary. Not only do they sympathize with the resistance, but they also belong to a minority of powerful individuals born as such. By the unfortunate events of the story, your character is by chance put together with others of the same nature. You thereby become an extremely dangerous force to be reckoned with.

Your character is best suited to be between teenage years and the middle of their lives. With age comes greater power, but also more responsibility. The youngsters will look to you for guidance and knowledge. Your character will also be what is known as an Aeon. It is a powerful individual whose talents are prohibited within the Unions. Chances are that your character knows the characters of other players, already. It is not a requirement, but older Aeons usually offer training to younger ones in the Unions, so there is a network of trust.

There will be no specific order in which players should post. Past interactions can be completed through Flashbacks, if someone falls behind. There may be several timelines in posts, anyway. There will also not be any posting schedule. If you cannot post now, post later. It is that simple. The same goes for post length. Include in your post everything that is necessary in order to create substance for others to work with. The story has elements of many things such as Action, Drama, Adventure, and Slice-of-Life. Some sections of the story may be slower than others.

I really like the balance for the Aesir summons, Bahamut is a much more alluring choice now than he initially was and works perfectly for the character type I had in mind.

I'll add my character as soon as I've gotten something up for the Aesir part. I'll be making my own so I'll have it up as soon as I've polished some of the details

Reworking my character.

Didn't like what I had made before.

Stay tuned! LOL

Cheers!

Also, how did you guys create that Aesir sheet? I plan on making my own as well.

I think Sync was able to redo it in Photoshop, which is where I did it. I can make it for you, though, if you send all the information and the image.

Awww thanks! But actually, I'll just use one of the ones you made since it fits the theme of my character surprisingly well.

Cheers!

Oh gosh, I've had such troubles with this. But, it's leaning towards being someone entirely new.

Uh oh.

Have your creative juices been stifled by the stresses and pressures of real life? lol

Seriously though, what kind of idea do you have rolling in your mind right now?

Pretty much. Well, I've got the Aesir down and I'm debating on two different paths for my character: either be similar to the Aesir or contrasting. But it's coming along, slowly.

So, I went through some of the character sheets. I'll look at Aeolian's and Lionhearted's next, when time allows it.

For those whose character sheets I checked, post them in the character tab once you've look at my notes below.

@Sync
You can remove the 'height' and 'age' words from the quick info. Other than that, the substance of the sheet is all good. Remember to list which Techniques Griffith knows. Check the Combat hider.

For the Aesir, can you send me the picture of Alexander? The original one? I'll make an 'official' sheet for you. I'll have to edit some of the stats and info, if that's alright. We'll discuss the final version, together, of course.

@crouchingbacon
Cool character art. Seems to capture the character quite well!

You can remove the 'age' and 'height' words from the quick information.

The 'Memories' section seems to have a different color for the text than all the other sections. Was this intentional?

I like your different perspectives in your writing, as in mix between first and third person. I hope you are okay with third person past tense, as well, as we'll be using that for the in-character thread/story thread. Let me know if there is an issue here.

You chose Quezacotl as Aesir, but not the Orb technique for your character. Was this intentional? Quezacotl has a lot of modifications to the Orb technique.

@DeadDrop
Looks good! You chose Ifrit as your character's Aesir, but you didn't choose the Cluster Bomb Technique. Was this intentional? Irfit modifies the Cluster Bomb Technique quite a bit.

Also, could you put the Ifrit sheet image into your character sheet? It's mostly for myself and quick reference when I look things up.

@Prisk I usually look for a picture and write a character based on the image, haha. The cover makes the book, in my case! Did some edits, thanks for pointing those out. I suppose I didn't catch that effect the Aesir had on the Orb attack, but I've fixed it now. And yeah, writing in 3rd person, past tense is perfectly fine.

I'm actually the same way so I completely get it.

I find a picture that inspires me, and then I tailor my character's background, personality, etc around on the image that I've found.

So sometimes, the hardest part for me is finding an image that "speaks" to me. LOL

That's why the entire essence of my character changed when I re-did it. A new face meant a whole new story to tell. And I'm much more satisfied with what I landed on this time.
