Welcome to Gaia! ::

Before this techonlogy formed Lelerine was ever there...In the medievial times, there was priestess, selkies, elves and etc.

A group started out with a wandering priestess Christa Tomoe, Kitanna Sesora and Jassu Valaroum. Ordinarily people, who wandered around Lelerine but then the disapperance...

It was written on every history book of what happened, but the last survivor, and the rest from there was total blank.

In the history book it said : 'The world lies cradled in the delicate and fragile hands of Balance. Balance is needed for anything and everything to survive, to exist - light cannot be without dark; day would not be day without night. Life would not be created without death. Whenever one entity overpowers another, the precious balance - whether it be the Balance holding the world, or a person together - is shattered like glass. When this Balance is lost, the world is thrown into a pool of peril and chaos. It will start of slow at first, the panic slowly rising until the destruction reaches its peak, in which case... well, bad things happen. The worst things that can happen, will happen.

So, needless to say, this balance is quite important, yes? And of course, the balance that holds the world in its normal, prosperous state, must be entrusted to the hands of someone equally, if not even more important.

This someone is none other than Chronos, the very creator of the world.

Now, as you know, evil resides everywhere. Of course it does - if it did not, then where would that aforementioned equilibrium be? One can find that dark, cold and ruthless quality in anything that lives. Sometimes, this demon will grow and grow inside someone until it overpowers the light and the good in them, smothering it in its shadowy embrace. And when that happens, the person's important balance in their heart will break into pieces and they will be taken over by this evil creature inside of them.

Then, bad things happen. They will be driven to do reckless and horrible things, with even worse consequences. Let us pretend, for a moment, that this now-evil person is our world. The balance has broken in the person, and thus the balance - the specific equilibrium that steadies our world - has broken as well. This being slowly slips into a dark abyss of wickedness and negativity. The world does just the same thing.

Now you have all this information, what does it all mean?

Simple. Chronos, the keeper of the balance, has vanished. Therefore, there is no one to keep the delicate balance, and hence the world is slowly slipping into destruction. And it all starts in the Maker's home.

The white walls slowly become tainted with a horrible black fog. The warm, comforting feeling has now faded, being replaced by a chillingly cold sensation, the kind that causes ones hairs to stand on end. Faint whispers and wheezes come from the building, as if a great, inexplicable pain is coursing throughout it. The black fog stretches across the building in long streaks, almost like disturbingly deformed and bony fingers. Darkness slowly engulfs the Maker's mansion. Eventually, the walls begin to crumble as the darkness actually eats away at the foundations. It doesn't stop, not even for a second - it is like some hungry animal. It is like a beast that will not hesitate to move onto, to grow to the rest of the world once it is done its meal here.

And that is exactly what it will do. In fact, that is what this darkness is already doing. Slowly, the sky begins to darken, even if it is in the middle of the day. Cold, blustery winds begin to pick up, howling madly as they coarse throughout the world. The clouds even seem thicker and darker than before, while the same, horrible black fog slowly begins to grow in various corners of the land. Animals will become noticably restless and some might gradually start to transform - mutate, even - into powerful monsters. The land has become just a little less rich, and the air has become slightly colder.

But these changes are small, and slow. The majority of the population hasn't noticed any of them. A group might have realized, but the changes are too subtle for many of them to care about. Oh, but time can do many wonderful, and also many awful things.

It is only a matter of time now until the world is plunged into a state of panic, and also before it is completely swallowed up. Unless, of course, Chronos is found. But are even there souls brave enough to take up such a daunting task? After all, where would you start looking to find the very Maker himself? '

Balance was missing because he, was missing. After Dark Maker ruled the world wide of Lelerine, or most of it. Everythign was reformed ruled under his control..

But back to the history..The group, indeed try to save the pure one. Contact was made first from Jassu, but from what he said of what the dark one said.
"'I am back to rid this world of light, to disrupt the Balance. Do not try and resisit, for any attempt is useless. Bow before my might and let the Change occur, or I shall destroy you to fuel the fires of the Change. Remember my name for all of eternity, to be imprinted, burning, into your mind.....

...The Dark Maker'" It was also said, he was kept somewhere only a portal can get to him, called the Gateway

But as to this day forward, clues of everything was set, but..

Ever since Dark Maker ruled, the light has dimmed, several empires has been placed from either the negaverse or the dark moon..

But back to the future...In a small section hidden deep underground, helped made and protected with help Clock. Everyone mostly was still able to go on with normal life as if nothing happened. While everyone else, lives in torture, work, a hell hole.

This place if for people who kept the hope alive, that dim light still burning for Chronos Maker to this day. Today's society is differnt, mordern time now isn't what you expect to be, electronics, few mangas, pevertedness, of mordern day society...

A teenage group, use the clues set out for them, with new ones, waiting for them...

Tales and Memories

Since in Lelerine, even with the world surrounded by darkness, there are couples places you should know and respect. These original places are copyrighted from the actual Lelerine forum, and will be used as such. These are the proper ORGIN, where you character was spawned, and birthed. If you are on the side of Darkness, but came from somewhere you better in your post have good explanation of your origin. The places and descriptions are as follows:



Ruikka
The capital, Ruikka, lies almost in the center of the continent, surrounded and protected by everything else. Visitors usually comment on how the placement of the city reflects on its people, many of who seem to think they are the center of the universe, or at least Ton'ryne. However, many people disagree with that. Unlike most capitals, it is a rather small, quiet place with only about 37 000 people living there. The overseer of Ton'ryne resides in Ruikka, unsurprisingly, along with his family and the very richest of the continent. All citizens of other classes are nonexistent. Buildings with important documents and purposes - mostly pertaining to the law and order of the continent - have been built there since it started. Although some of the finest shops and most skilled people reside here, there is not much else to the city.

Anitora
The most ignorant of the population usually think Anitora is the continent's capital, as opposed to Ruikka. They can't be blamed, either - the former of the two is much more lively and has an enormous population under its belt. The streets almost always seem to be busy - even in the dead of night. It is the wealthiest city besides the true capital, thanks to the booming trade and industry. Soil in the area is quite rich, and it is located right next to the Yuron River. Most of the residents in Anitora seem to be quite nice, and are much more diverse than those in Ruikka. Because of the comparisons so many people make, the two cities see each other as friendly rivals, though most believe the rivalry to be completely one-sided.

Inside of Anitora: Salurid Market

Rhyde Mountains
The Mountains start towards the North part of Ton'ryne, where they are smaller and more gently sloped. As they move towards the south, however, they gradually become higher and more treacherous. The easy slopes soon morph into violent dips and dives, and those small tops soon turn into monstrously tall peaks. Like regular mountains, the tops of those in the Rhyde area can become extremely cold, with merciless weather and unforgiving winds. Surprisingly, people have and do settle on these mountains, where nature is close and the solitude is great.

The Afiryak Cavern
A wide, gaping hole threatens to swallow up anyone who draws near. Inside, it is damp and dark. The only sounds are the soft fluttering of wings, and the gentle pitter-pattering of water. The Afiryak Carvern lies a ways off from the Rhyde Mountains. From the outside, it looks like a simple cave, albeit a frighteningly large one. But as one goes deeper inside, they will be greeted with many steep slopes, hidden passages and winding paths. Inside it is rocky, with many dangerous obstacles inside. Legends say that there is a great treasure buried deep inside of the Caverns, but someone has yet to retrieve it. Supposedly, only Chronos, the Maker, knows.

Suwet
This barren town sits almost in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't take a genius to see that the town has seen better days. Signs of neglect can be found everywhere and anywhere. The streets are worn, with gaping holes in them; the buildings seem old, tired and faded. Weeds and other plants have dominated most of the place, uncaring as to what was there before. Many houses seemed to have been abandoned, and even more have been extensively vandalized. Few people actually live in the town, and even fewer still intentionally travel there. Still, there must be things that are still worth the time - wisdom, perhaps, or even something more. Who knows, Suwet could very well be revived one day.

Churiko
Sandy beaches, sunny days almost all year round, tons of food, fun and stores - what more could one want in a place? Churiko is Ton'ryne's best - and only - town designated solely for the point of enjoyment. With a prime location right by the Ilsador Sea, it's no wonder either. Hundreds of people escape here for a short break each day. "A dull moment is a wasted moment" is the town's motto. Needless to say, with all the visitors that flock there, Churiko is a very rich town.

The Zelanurr Forest
Like many other things, the Zelanurr Forest has many unexplainable phenomena within it. Also like many other things, most people believe it to be the work of the Maker. How so? None are sure. As for the Forest's mystery? It is permanently night inside of it. The sky above will always seem pitch black, but not littered with stars. The entire forest is almost completely dark, so the majority of travellers that venture in get lost. Some, though, claim that it is not the dark that causes them to get lost, but the actual forest. According to them, the trees in Zelanurr have the ability to animate themselves, and purposely twist and move to create new paths and confuse travellers.

Yuron River
Water has been seen as the best means of transportation for a while, at least by humans. This gargantuan river flows from the Werdyff Ocean at the East and flows through the continent, curving and leading into many other lakes, until it returns to the Ilsador Sea in the West. Many people ride boats along the river to travel, but many people also live either in or on the river. Animals are plenty within the crystal clear waters, as well, which proves quite useful to the people and towns nearby.

Werdyff Ocean
As one of the two great bodies of water in the land, the Werdyff Ocean holds many great terrors. Stories and sightings of ferocious monsters and terrifying dangers lurk among the waters and among sailors. Many ships have been lost here, and the causes for most of those disappearances are - and will most likely remain - a dark mystery. Many believe that the Werdyff Ocean has been cursed by the Maker, hence the violent and overall unpleasant aura that surrounds it.

On Werdyff Ocean: Teydi Islands

Ilsador Sea
For some reason, the Ilsador Sea is significantly calmer than its counterpart, the Werdyff Ocean. The waters are often easier and smoother to ride on, and there are few dangers in its waters. Strangely, although there have been sunken and lost ships, there has not been a large amount. More peaceful and kind races tend to live in these waters, but that does not mean that the horrible beasts common in Werdyff cannot be found here. Remember: with light there must be darkness, no matter what the case is.

Emeryth, the Maker's Dimension

The Maker's Home
Unsurprisingly, the Maker's home is nothing short of breathtaking. Although it is mainly plain and blank, there is something completely awe-inspiring about the enormous mansion. A feeling of serenity and utter, delicate perfection seems to radiate from the walls. The most incredible thing is the view. Through the clear floors, one can see the surface of the world down below moving at breakneck speed. Amazingly, millenias will pass in a single second. Life will begin on the world one second, and the apocalypse will occur the next. After that, things will start over. This is but one of the many wonders that lie in the Maker's Home, let alone Emeryth.

The Gate
A gigantic stone ring lies suspended a few feet in the air above the mansion. Ancient runes and strange markings are etched all around the sides of the ring, telling of The Gate that they are set on. Ornate, yet beautifully abstract designs and detailed drawings are also carved into the face of the ring, which is made of an incredibly lustrous and smooth grey stone. This structure is not simply a decoration... no, far from it. A great being is constrained inside of it - the Dragon of Time, the alternate form to The Maker, Chronos.

Amaryss, Temple of Time
The Temple of Time is a giant square building made of an incredibly strong substance. It has a pale green tint, and it looks very much like rock, however it feels like air, as if it weren't really there. However, on the contrary, it is very much so. In front is a large staircase made of the same green substance, which leads to a large arch opening. Inside is the Essence of Time, however although the opening seems to be free of obstructions, one cannot get through it.

Queltix, Temple of Reality
The Temple of Reality is in the shape of a large, equilateral triangle. The walls are extremely high, and tilt upwards until they meet at a point, which is the ceiling. Unlike the Temple of Time, the building is clearly made of very smooth, and pitch black granite. There are no stairs leading up to the entrance, which is simply a wide, rectangular opening in the building, decorated with marble designs and runes around it. Inside is where the Essence of Reality is safely kept. Access seems to be denied to the Essence, for an invisible wall stops anyone from passing the entrance.

Isle of Gods

Library of the Unknown
In this vast chamber lies all the knowledge in the world. Yes, every piece of every information is all located in here. Apparently, even more than that can be found within its walls. What else could there be? Only those higher than us know. How this is possible, and just how it was created is beyond human understanding. Our minds cannot easily conceive the works and ways of the higher beings.


Considering how this beautiful land mass, is now like runes, Dark Maker hasn’t completely finished his task at hand yet. His current goal, to destroy this beloved world along with the creator and everyone with it. But some where in the place Ruikka, a small barrier holds the beloved city that was able to slightly advance. It is tempered that medieval has mixed with some technology but not much.

But some place was able to bloom despite the difficult time difference.

If you live in Ruikka and going to be part of the group, here some settings you should know of your own home.

Midnight Hallow

The founder is currently Reva. This place is slave chamber/ Current setting of it.

The slaves are all held captive in Midnight Hallow, a large nightclub/bar in the city of Marine. The city is always covered with dark clouds and is for most of the day, covered in rain. The city itself seems bleak and low tone but on the outside of the city its surrounded by forests. All sorts of kindred and beings gather in this city of Sins, some just to for fill fantasies, travel, and there are even some who reside there.

The Midnight Hallow is a large mansion like building, consisting of many different floors. Slaves are often auctioned off in the Room of Sins, where most of the seductive shows are performed. Though most of the shows are performed there, one can often see the submitting of slaves through out the whole building. Smoke clouds the bar area of the Hallow, where the nightclub consists of loud rave music and sends out a feeling of maturity and deluded feverish thoughts. The lights there are often hued red, which match’s the red carpet flooring and tiled areas. This is the home of various female and male slaves, most of them young and either captured and held captive or entered slavery willingly. These slaves are tortured and used everyday and often they feel worthless, while few feel a slight bit of pleasure. Men and women of all types search for the perfect slave whether for intimate or other more malicious deeds.

How the slaves arrived there is a tale of their own, but all that matters is that interested masters can pick anyone to their liking...

Yuromeshi High is the only current high school for teenagers.
Its students and teachers tend to get out of hand some times, but it is fairly good environment. But the only one. Kind of different from the original school, most of the setting is quite the same, but less tech-y. (If you don’t know what I am talking about there is the Setting of Yuromeshi High in the guild Role play forum.) The only difference is the classroom (For instant almost like this 1. 2. 3. )

The city, is kind of like this expect with the water surrounding it. And not that much lights.

THREAD IS NOW OPEN AND IN SESSION

It lept from what seemed like the 100th floor of the building and continued to glide parallel to its stone walls. Frigid air blew throughout it's ivory cloak as it danced in its chills. The figure, though almost entirely covered with its long tattered robes, had a small smile nearly visible by mans eye.

67th floor.

It's body stood upright in the wind, lifting its arms slightly, showing grace and elegance. The harsh winds continued to brush it's cheeks, anyone would assume they would be ice cold to the touch, that is if only they knew, it was always that way...

48th floor.

It was anyone's guess why exactly this creature would have even been at the Library of the Unknown, or how it even got there, but with a mid-sized booked clutched in the left palm of this beings hand, it was obvious: there was research to be done...

30th floor.

That research wouldn't matter after this, from the looks of it, the figure was merely just going to die in a small puddle of white and red from just the mere impact of the fall, let alone the spiky rocks that lay awaiting its fresh corpse. Wrong.

27th floor.

The human like figure held out the other hand, raising it higher up. A small clank could be heard from the strange mechanism in its right hand. The being held down a button. A nearly impenetrable wire emitted from the device, shooting into the clouds and the surrounding heavy fog. The spike on the tip of the wire scraped across the sidelines of the ancient building, seeking refuge on one of the large window sills.

12th floor...

The face of the figure ceased to change, though it was obvious if something wasn't done soon, they would die here, after all that hard work. Alas, another clank was heard, this one directed towards it's right, on a window on the tenth floor. The wire from the device continued to stretch out, growing larger as the person continued its drop. The wire tightened its grip as the creature reached the 2nd floor. The spikes still smiled at the creature with an anxiousness. Would they be the new owners of this benevolent creatures corpse?

1st floor...

It's speed slowed down drastically, almost to a halt as the wire extended to its full reach. Slowly, the creature set its foot down, standing gracefully on top a large tip of rock. It was still alive... and it was still smiling. Releasing the button on the grappling hook, the hook loyally returned to its owners hand, clicking in place on the mechanism.

For now... It's job here was done. The small smile on it's face faded, the joy ride was over. Oh well, maybe it should do this again sometime. With that thought in mind it began to leap toward a safe location, which it found to be a small dirt/stone trail about a mile away from the large library tower. As it jumped away from its large stone walls with book in hand, it began to murmur to itself. Slowly the tower disappeared in the fog surrounding it, to again appear hidden among its background.

The air grew cold, and the light dimmed. Electronic lights flickered and went out. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. A dark feeling would come over everyone within the city. As if something horrible was about to happen. It grew darker, and darker, and darker, till nothing could be seen...

And then, two, large, glowing red eyes appeared above the city, along with a loud, insane, evil laugh that shook the very foundation of the city. The laughter continued on for several minutes before dieing down, to be replaced by a deep, sinister, voice.

"For centuries this place has eluded me. For centuries you lived on. But now the barrier is breaking. I am coming, and destruction will follow in my wake to all who exist. I am the Dark Maker..."

It chuckled, shaking the earth once more.

"Now run..."

Fire shot into the air from a crack in the ground, creating a hail of fire on the city, all the while the voice laughing. The darkness parted from the light, showing thousands upon thousands of large, dark creatures with no eyes, mouths, anything. They swarmed into buildings and houses, engaging all who lived within.

The day had come when all hell broke loose.

Sitting at the bar, amidst the chaos was a tall man wearing nothing but black. He wore shorts that were long enogh that his knees were covered by the dark fabric. He wore a tank top shirt and leather straps wrapped around his biceps. His immaculate skin was a fair tan color, his face was perfect as soon as you got around the huge scar that ran down the left side it. His left eye appeared to be fused shut, upon further inspection. That was the case though, that entire side of his face was a perfect form but all the tissue was completely immobile, and of a slightly lighter shade than the right side. His jacked was draped over the back of his bar stool, which was, you guessed it, black. It had no real design concept, at all, it was just pitch black.

He looked around as the dark creatures swarmed the bar. He just continued to drink his selection of wine and watched as the other patrons were being devoured. There were quite a few moments where somone's limbs had flown at his head, he didn't care he simply moved ever so slightly, just enough to dodge the flying disembodied parts. He stood and wandered slowly about the room which was now on fire. Without the smallest change in his emotional state he watched the senseless slaughter of the patrons, without the slightest desire to help. He figured, why bother they were bound to die anyway?

"Please, sir.. help me, " cried the voice of a small woman. He gazed down at her with his one good eye, and tilted his head to the right. After standing there for a quick moment he crouched down beside her. The right side of his mouth opened.

"Certamen," He uttered in a tone that was too droning to be made out, eventhough he was practically speaking into her ear. The second that the word passed his lips she caught fire. She gave a loud screech and burst into a smoldering heap upon the ground. The man smirked as best he could with his deformity and left the bar. Pausing as he got outside he stared up into the clouds and shook his head. Turning on his heel, he contined on to wonder aimlessly through the condemned town.
