Welcome to Gaia! ::

The skies were blue, promising a warm end to summer before the windy season started in a few days... until the wind did pick up and dark storm clouds blocked out the sun in an early twilight. A small inn on the edge of the Wild Forest creaks and groans in the wind but holds up, as it has for more than four decades. Its location so near the wilderness has often made it lose business, as the forest is thought o be ridden with evil pixies and spirits. But to travelers fast getting soaked by the pounding rain, it looks like heaven. They seek shelter and warmth, knowing they will not be able to get anywhere until it blows over (literally).

Here are the rules/procedures:

1. PM me your bio following the template in the next post, and I'll put them all in one.
2. Keep it pg-13- keep the swearing limited, and don't go into detail with any gore. In fact, keep the gore's very presence limited.
3. Follow all gaia ToS
4. NO GODMODING. It's very annoying to others. It consists of:
->Making others say something or move in your posts
->Giving them expressions that your character interprets
->It isn't exactly godmoding, but don't always come out of battles unscathed if your opponent ends up shredded, or something like that. Don't be too powerful.
5. No killing other people either, unless they give you permission.
6. Once we have enough characters, I'll put up the first post to start it. I want to give others time to join.

Also, please be considerate that other writers might want to put in their parts. If three people are together on something and two of you are on at the same time, don't make a bunch of stuff happen until the third person can post too.

That's pretty much it... enjoy yourselves!

NOTICE: I am adding something. You are being assigned a color in the bio post for the visual organization of the characters. This does not mean you have to post in this color, or make the dialogue this color. If you have more than one character (which I will allow if it comes up in the plotline, though for now one character per person should be enough) you may want to make their dialogue this color, though, just to help others know whose saying what.

CHARACTERS: (note: characters with a slash through their bio have been killed or left)

Character name: Alivia

Gaia name: Sali-Ali

Appearance: Black centaur with black skin and long, straight silver hair. She has a green sheath with a green-tinted blade, a quiver and a bow. her gold-hoop earrings and gold headband encusted with green jewels seem molded to her skin; they are marks of her centaur clan.
Character's Age: 20

Gender: female/mare

Personality: shy and untrusting, but also headstrong and brave. Her dark, shadowy demeanor makes her presence often go unnoticed.

Reason for traveling the area: wanderlust/wanted to get away from her clan for a while

Anything special about you: She's a centaur for one, and has a knack for fading into the shadows.



Character name: Brekeena (bre-ick-ee-nah) Flint
(name means Brave and Freckled in Irish)

Gaia name: umm... i guess it would be fangedone11?

Appearance: almost 6 feet tall, maybe 5"10'ish... Freckled with flame red hair, hair so red it's almost orange. Very thin, with some wiry muscles. Fully Developed Werewolf, looks like my avatar but with no white on paws or chest. only on the tail. What you would call a true Irish Beauty, but also a danger during the new and full moon.

Charcter's Age: 17 barely 18

Gender: Female... duhhrr

Personality: Fiery. Much anger from being left behind by her boyfriend when he went off to duel against some god for some stupid reason (so she says). A passionate person, she defends everyone around her, and insults them too... She keeps her head up and is strong, like a rock for everyone to anchor themselves too. She is very bold, and not at all shy. She likes to make talk with everyone she meets, especially boys. She's always trying to make her boyfriend jealous, by flirting with all the boys but she is not at all a slut, in fact she's dutifully bound to her boyfriend with a promise she swore to him when they are children. She acts out only because she misses him.

Reason for traveling in the area/occupation (like if you work at the inn): A Barmaid waiting for her lost love.... so sad...

Character name: Kassity

Gaia name: Kasi Karra

Appearance: http://www.tektek.org/avatar/19668326 or: Kassity was part feline part elf. She had big deep black, clanted eyes, small pointed ears and sandy cat fur. She was right handed, but she lost her right arm in an accident and it was replaced by a mechanical arm. Her light pink hair was french braided and had a big red bow and a skull barette in it. She had gold hoop earrings and an engraved gold armlet on her upper left forearm. She wore a blut wrap around v-neck shirt and a blue pair of jeans that rested on top of her aqua colored lace up shoes.
Her pheonix was small, pink, and kinda "feathery" and her staff was simply a long piece of old, but strong gnarled wood.

Charcter's Age: 10

Gender: Female

Personality: quiet, she doesn't really like big crowds and spends a lot of time in the edges of the woods. She's scared of traveling too far into the woods, but it's the only place to get away.

Reason for traveling in the area/occupation (like if you work at the inn): She does the jobs that no one wants to do in the inn, but she does them pretty quickly and has time to goof off and practice fighting with her staff outside.

Anything special about you (just don't give yourself too many magical powers or something. Some magic is okay, but people that are too powerful just push everyone else into the background): She has a pet pheonix, but when the pheonix was first born/created it was deformed. It never grows very big, it does a little damage (minor burns and pecks), and it also spends a long time in it's "rebirth" phase.

Character name: Aurora Sage

Gaia name: Sali-Ali

Character's Age: 16

Gender: female

Appearance: A small, wiry human, she has brown hair with lighter highlights and deep sapphire eyes. She keeps her hair trimmed short, though it is obvious she hasn't used a very fancy tool to do so. Her skin is deeply tanned from exposure to the outdoors and she always wears comfortable clothing in camoflauge colors, along with a thick hunting knife and a crudely made quiver and bow.

Personality: Slightly twitchy, as if she expects someone to attack, and quick to challenge someone if she feels they have offended her.

Reason for traveling in the area: She has recently run away from home and happens to be passing by.

Anything special about you: Not much. No magic or special creatures- in fact, she highly mistrusts anything not human or at least human-like. She's more used to farming than fighting, but certainly knows how to use a blade.

Character name: Davinport Amvis Veysson (or just Damvis :] )

Gaia name: Fangedone11

Appearance: Taller than a fully grown werewolf, about 6'11", and about as strong as a werewolf. Dark brown hair, so brown it's almost black, and ice-blue eyes, with some speckles of freckling. Tanner than leather, and with hands as rough as leather.

Charcter's Age: 20 but nobodies really sure if that's true.

Gender: Male

Personality: Grave, serious. Respectful, in fact he demands respect. Not one to boast of his accomplishments, and helps the poor. Sadly misinformed to believe that all but humans are his enemies.

Reason for traveling in the area/occupation: Coming back to see his woman (who's technically not legal) and to let her know about something REALLY important.

Anything special about you: Damvis is a werewolf, vampire and other mystical creature killer. He is infamous for being fericiously protective of the human race, and is a strong believer that all non-humans should die, but for some reason won't kill centaurs... makes you wonder why... hmmm...
Character name: Anya

Gaia name: nissafairy109

Appearance: Human, but has the power to change her body. Her shape is still human, but she may have a tail and feline fur, or dragon scales and horns. This helps her blend in and people don't always know who she is.

Charcter's Age:15

Gender: Female- tomboy sometimes

Personality: Incredibly shy, hates being in public around tons of people because she is afraid of being attacked by humans like her parents were.Very trustworthy and friendly once you get to know her.

Reason for traveling in the area/occupation (like if you work at the inn): Trying to find a someone to hook onto and travel with, or a mate to be with.

Anything special about you: Has a pet hawk, has ways of communicating but not speaking with animals, loves to sleep outside, even in rain, snow or hail.

Character name: Xyirean

Gaia name: Kasi Karra

Appearance: Xyirean has deep brown skin, but very curly whitehair. He has raptor horns and is blind. He wears a white trenchcoat and black torn jeans and black velcro sandals. There's a chain whip wrapped around his right arm and he carries a scythe.

Charcter's Age: 18

Gender: Male

Personality: Xyirean is usually very arrogant and doesn't care about others

Reason for traveling in the area/occupation (like if you work at the inn): He's bored and wanted something to do, so he escaped his friends and is traveling around. He thinks there may be people out to capture him for a hostage so they can get rich, but he's not sure.
Otherwise he just happens to be passing through this area.

Anything special about you (just don't give yourself too many magical powers or something. Some magic is okay, but people that are too powerful just push everyone else into the background): Xyirean is blind, but it's like he sees the outlines of everything around him. Sometimes his reflexes are a little slow, but his scythe is deadly.

Character name: Pyedernon Skeezum Robinson (Pyscies [PIE-skeez])

Gaia name: fangedone11

Appearance: like 6'1"ish, maybe more.

Charcter's Age: 28 summers

Gender: Male! Yay! (we need more guys anyway.)

Personality: Scornful of everyone, rarely makes any close friends, and he acts like he's a longer, but he's really not. He's actually afraid of his own powers, and the wildfire magic that resides within himself. He's also afraid of the dark (like the kind at nightfall), and has been battling dark spirit since they captured his sister and brother, both older than him, when he was about 10. He manipulates people to get what he wants. Very intelligent. Sandy blond hair, cut short but not too short, and is thin as a rail. Knows a little bit of magic, but not too much. Like a werewolf, his powers use him when he gets angry, sad, or too happy.

Reason for traveling in the area/occupation: "looking for somewhere to stay in this blasted rain."

Anything special about you: currently, wildfire magic resides within him, but he has no idea how to use it. it could be super powerful, or barely enough to light a candle. also, piercing blue eyes.

Character name: Taqi

Gaia name: nissafairy109

Appearance: To Sali-Ali and fangedone, he looks like andrew. To others, he has wiry puffy dirty blond hair. He's tall and skinny, but has a cute face and a great smile.

Charcter's Age: 15

Gender: Male

Personality: Again, andrew. Very shy, but laughs alot when happy. Smiles alot, and like to be around others. Friendly, and likes almost everyone. Crush on Anya

Reason for traveling in the area/occupation: Ran away from home because of parents that abused him ( that has nothing to do with andrew ,its just a good reason)

Anything special about you: Skin shifter, just like Anya with the same traits of the shifting.

Kassity studied the new guest for a second before disappearing into the kitchen carrying her pail and mop. Her little phenoix stayed on a nearby chair and watched the guest, tilting its head in curiosity.

Aurora ran to the door of the inn gratefully, glad for a place to shelter. She pushed open the door to find the way blocked by someone else- a centaur, to be exact.

"Hey- yeh're blockin' the doorway," she said. To her, centaurs were creatures secondary to humans. "Move it."

Alivia turned around to see a small girl trying to get in. She sighed to herself and stepped farther into the inn, reminding herself this was only to be expected: no one liked centaurs these days. It was a dangerous time for anything not human.

Alivia cleared her throat loudly, hoping to get the attention of the girl snoring at the bar. She looked to be an employee. Alivia looked around and saw no one else was inside, except for the girl now pushing past her. That would make things easier; it was always awkward for her to be anywhere but on the plains of her home. She sighed, cursing again the wanderlust that had seized her to leave her warm hut for this.

Ignoring the centaur, Aurora stepped forward. "Umm... yeah..." she said, suddenly nervous. "How much for a night?" She dug through her pack, looking for money.

"I was just wondering if I could warm myself up," Alivia grumbled, walking over to the fireplace anyway. She would worry about a room later.

(she's not that young. she's 16, and you're barely 1 cool

"I'm no' tha' young," Aurora said, glaring at the barmaid. "I'm ol' enough to be on my ow', and in case you haven' noticed, there's a nice storm goin' on outside."

Alivia watched the small girl with interest, though she had already decided she didn't like her. She had seen the weird look the barmaid had given her, but had shrugged it off. So centaurs weren't commonly seen around these parts... well, humans weren't commonly seen around where she came from. Unless they were there to kill the centaurs, or course.
