The Idea: This is an RP that begins with all the characters as normal humans. Throughout the RP each character will evolve into something more. The evolution process is a long one and will take time, so be patient. Some characters will learn powers such as levitation, telekinesis, clairvoyance, extra limbs, extensions of limbs, etc.

Introduction:

On the world of Eferaen there are many who would deny those transcending humanity their right to evolve. In the struggle for survival, will you play as a human undergoing metamorphosis, gaining strengths and weaknesses as you progress, or will you play as a normal human, hunting down those who have exceeded your own level of humanity. Whether it be for greed, power, ambition, or envy, most humans have decided to mount an assault on all the transcendents. Some humans have decided to find the secret to metamorphosis and others may worship the transcendents as gods. What is your place in the world?

About the Transcendents: Transcendents are a strange group of people, much like the mutants in X-Men. If you know what I'm talking about, you'll know that Transcendants can be born from both human and Transcendant parents. It is possible for occurences to happen where someone will be born from two transcendant parents, but not be one themselves, or be born from two humans and become a transcendent. There is, at the moment, no explanation to why this occurs, and this causes hysteria in all cultures.

Current Characters....

Fiye
Gaia name: Fiye
Character name: Schala Scura
Age: 19
Race: Transcendent
Gender: Female
Height: 5'3
Weight: 104
Special abilities: Mind's eye, Pulse (large), Vault, Bolt, Prehensile tail (large).
Equipment: Large backpack filled with several days worth of canned foods, three days of clothes, and a simple sleeping bag.
Description: Look for the character labeled Fiye
Character Goal: To take as many people to the transcendant's sancturary as possible before her tiem on the world is up.
History: She was born and raised int he transcendent's scanturary, and shortly after hearing about the reports of people still transofrming inside the cities where they were vulnerable to humans, who sometimes liked to hunt their kind, she set off. She has reached what is thought to be the climax of a transcendant's evolutionary life, seeing as she hasn't changed in the last five years.


Nephthys Assyria
Gaia name: Nephthys Assyria
Character name: Iris Messagaire
Age: 19
Race: Transcendant
Gender: Female
Height: 6'0
Weight: 148
Special abilities: Two Extra Arms (short) (Capable of carrying cups!)
Equipment: Leather satchel filled to bursting with clothes, 'nutrition bars' (think granola), and the equivalent of $100 in cash. Not much, but she's a working girl who'll do anything for the cash to get her through the day.
Description: Iris Messagaire is a very unusually fast sort of person. A fast talker, a fast walker, a fast worker, and, most annoyingly, a fast spender, usually on her random 'round the world trips. Which explains her lack of money and her inability to pay rent for more than a month or two. Currently Iris has taken up running errands for other people, usually actually running because she finds automobile travel to be boring and stuffy, and running has always been her strong suit. She often says that it makes her feel like she can fly, "Like the transcendants must feel, the winged ones at least..." She remains unaware of her own transcendant abilities, but lately she's had the most annoying itch on her shoulder blades, above and behind her arms.
Character Goal: To travel the world, and learn everything about every culture so she can come back home, where ever her home is that month, and spread the messages of other cultures. She especially wants to learn about transcendants, they fascinate her.
History: Born in the small city of Ruvast, Iris has always respected transcendants after her mother and father both evolved into strange new beings. However, when she showed no signs of changing, Iris was not allowed into the sanctuary with her family, and was left to be raised as a ward of the state in her home town. Iris quickly got bored living in one place and found herself travelling, generally by foot, throughout Eferaen and eventually wandering into Vislev. For the past year she's been learning the ins and outs of every part of the city, relishing in the fact that to travel into a whole new world she only has to walk a few blocks. To her, even if the city is one culture, there are so many subsects that she's never bored... Well, not always, at least. The one thing that always amazed her about the city, however, was people's attitude towards beings like her parents. Apparently it was completely taboo the think of a transcendant as 'just another person' and Iris always had a little trouble with that.


Darkmoonlady_1984

Gaia name: darkmoonlady_1984
Character name: Gallatea
Age: 22
Race: Trascendent (if I'm still within the first five)
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 160
Special abilities: Fangs
Equipment:Kriss dagger, basic leather armour and a raier (feel free to edit, I'm not too creative today lol)
Description: She has tanned skin and green eyes. Her hair is black and she keeps it in hundreds of braids that fall down to her thighs. Her body's slightly curvier than average and she's always dressed in black. She hardly laughs and bears a neutral expression on her face most of the time.
Character Goal:She seeks to eliminate all the anti-trascendent groups that thrive in the city.
History: She lost her only good friend to a group of trescendent haters during a confusing attack near her opld home. Since then, she swore to rid the city of the "misguided humans" once and for all. Being an orphan since she was fifteen, she's spent the last seven years moving from one place to the other and training herself for what she thinks is her role in the world, to eliminate all those humans that posses a tainted mind, in other words, all the humans that hate trancendents. She's very reserved about her past and rarely talks about herself to others. She has a habit of talking to herself aloud and has a very analitical mind.


NeoNexus
Gaia name: NeoNexus

Character name: Yuoh Hanju (pronounced U-Oh)

Age: 14

Race: Transcendent

Gender: Male

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 128 lbs

Special abilities: Wrist Blade (small)

Equipment: A blue backpack he seems to constantly carry around, his wallet and a picture of his family.

Description: Yuoh stands out in a crowds thanks to his brilliant stock of white hair, which flows down to his shoulders. His green eyes are an incredible rarity for his particular lineage, being that of a half asain appearance, however they seem to sparkle mischieviously whenever he has a grin upon his face. He is still developing, however he is already rather nimble and strong for his age, able to surprise the thugs of the city that regularly attempt to rob him everyday with his hidden strength. He is very body concious and it shows through the balanced diet he leads. He doesn't "diet" as those silly girls at school seem to do, but eats properly, and exercises by walking through the park everyday.

Character Goal: Currently, to just get through school. Secretly he wants to become a Transcendent so that he can be seen as something special in the eyes of the world.

History: Yuoh was born in Tu'rel, his family and himself moving to Vilsev City soon after his birth. His mother and father work hard throughout the day and night to be able to provide their son and daughter, Yuoh and Sane (Pronounced Sa-Ne), with education for surviving in the city. Because of this, Yuoh, being the elder of the siblings, would be forced to stay at home with Sane to babysit.

One night while babysitting, a burgular barged into the place and attempted to rob the place. That was until Yuoh put up a fight. After only a single hit, swinging his arm like a baseball bat and smacking the crim right in the gut, the burgular had blood staining his shirt. Without thinking, Yuoh threw his arm into him again and more blood came out. the burgular ran, and Yuoh slumped to the floor as he looked at his wrist, which seemed to be hurting the most from being in contact with that criminal. His eyes caught it, sliding right back into his skin, but there was certainly no mistaking it. What was sinking into his skin, back into his wrist, was a blade.

Nowadays, he has tested his new 'ability' in secret and found that both his wrists were able to produce a pair of blades each, and he tries his absolute best to cover up the perpetual scarring both of his wrists carry by wearing a pair of leather-esqe gloves wherever he goes. He knows the consequences of showing his 'ability' to anyone, knowing the persecution he'd receive just for existing. He also hopes that perhaps one day he could find someone who might actually care about his life after he tells them his secret. For now though, school is his priority.

How to get your extra abilities:

First of all, you need to be a transcendent. In order to be one, you need to be one of the first five to join this roleplay. If not, wait. It'll eventually come to you within time. How much? I don't know. Depends on how many people join.

Anyways, you'll need to be active in order to gain experience. Experience works this way.

20 EXP can be gained by simply posting lengthly, but good, posts. Going by this equations W/100. W = Words in post. Lets say you have 90 words in a post. You'll get no TXP. If you have 95, then you'll get away with 1 TXP. 190 will get you 1 TXP, and this pattern will continue on until you get 5 TXP for that one single post.

You can only gain up to 20 TXP this way. Four posts can get you the 20 TXP to max that out for the day.

You can also get a free 10 TXP by being active; posting 5 posts for that day of decent quality.

Other TXP is reserved for posts of the day/week/month. PotD winners will receive 10. PotW will receive 40, and PotM winners will automatically gain a level. So, it is possible to gain 40 TXP a day, but you need to be literate and active. So, it's fair on all ends.

Note about levels: Levels work this way. When you become a transcendant, you will start off about level 1 with one basic skill. When you advance to level 2, you're basic skill will advance to one advanced skill, as you receive another basic skill. Once you hit level 3, your Advanced skill will become a mastered skill, your basic will become an advanced, and you will receive yet another basic. This pattern will continue on to an infinite degree.

Level progress: This is where TXP becomes useful.
Level 1: Gained by merit.
Level 2: Gained by having 100 TXP.
Level 3: Gained by having 200 TXP.
Level 4: Gained by having 400 TXP.
Level 5: Gained by having 800 TXP.
Etc... Etc... Etc...

Human abilities: Human abilities work in the same manner as TXP, but they're an entire different thing to be honest. It'll still be counted as TXP, and you'll receive one skill for every 100 TXP you get. This can be used to purchase a basic, advanced (if you have the basic), or eve a master (if you have the advanced). These traits will carry over once you become a transcendent.
