Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pandora's Box has been opened. (How long did it take you to figure it out and be honest? PM me because I want to know. lol.) Once again the world has been plunged into eternal darkness. A darkness filled with things from your nightmares and just as bad if worse. It doesn't take long before Pandora's evils infect the worlds people causing them to sin left and right without a second thought. As many Suns pass, the humans themselves begin turning into horrible creatures of evil that only follow the orders of Pandora. Those that escaped the madness continue to fight against the evil Pandora and her monsters in hope of finding a way to end her terrible hold over the world.

Small

Zombies(Human and animal) - You should know what a zombie is. These are the slow, dumb kind. Not much effort needed to walk away from or to kill them. Although animals are still a bit fast. Watch out for zombie dog packs. Only way for them to infect someone is with a bite or their infected blood gets into your blood.
Murderous Humans - Humans that have taken in the evil willingly and just kill, kill, kill in the chop you in half to see how long you live kind of way. Although some still retain their rational thought allowing them to make traps for their targets.
Crazed Animals(Animals smaller than humans) - Animals that have been taken by the darkness and pretty much attack anything that moves.
Imps - Devilish little critters from the box. Move in groups of 3 to 5. Have the power to levitate 5 feet and have weak dark magical powers. Choice of weapon is a trident or pitch fork.
Goblins - Ugly buggers native of the Box. Move in large groups of 10 to 15 looking for meat of any kind to eat. Show no mercy. Weapons range form knives, daggers, short swords, and weak bows. Wear crude armor and fight primitively.
Orcs - More advanced form of goblin. Stronger, bigger. Move in small groups of 2 to 4, but can easily raise their number when needed. Constantly on the hunt for humans. Weapons of choice are long swords, axes and crossbows. Wear makeshift armor made from pieces of scrap metal lying around and have more battle experience.
Pixies - Mischievous little balls of magical power they absorbed while in the Box. Love to play tricks and pranks and would go so far as to transform their targets into small animal or plants or even plain inanimate objects.
Skeletons - Undead being from the Box. More of a trapper or ambusher. Hangs around areas with lots of dead bodies and bones where it plays... dead until an unwary human comes by and springs into action when their back is turned. Tend to use whatever is around as a weapon.
Dolls - Nightmare being from the Box. Similar to skeletons in terms of attack type. Do not go far from point of original animation. Use anything sharp or pointy. Some can control other dolls and even control living beings into doing their bidding.
Slimes - Smaller blobs created from a blob. Types of attack decided by what the blob is made from. Reside in sewers, swamps or any wetland.
Meat Eating Plants - Flytraps on steroids. Don't get very big, but do have the ability to get up and move to find suitable prey locations.
Big Bugs - Smallest type of bugs scaled and buffed up.
Lesser Demons - Consist of smaller or younger demons that have yet to reach maturity. Still quite strong in magics and illusions. Foxes, raccoons, cats, dogs, and rats are the more common types.
Witches/Warlocks - Humans that have learned to use the dark forces for there own purposes and uses.
Wandering Souls/Ghosts - Best avoid them as they are quite hard to get rid of. Don't really attack, but will if bothered. Use poltergeisting to attack. Reside anywhere where spirits are drawn to or the place they haunt.

Large

Golems(Elemental and metal types) - Ten feet of pure power of an element. Made from Dark Stone by Pandora during her time in the Box. Tend to stick around areas where their element base in prominent, but do roam for quite some distances.
Drakes - The lesser of the Draconian family. Ranges 10 to 12 feet tall and 15 to 18 feet long from snout to tail. Somewhat slender build for fast movement. Powerful sharp claws and razor like teeth. Acidic saliva and older versions can spit it out up to 20 feet. Roam in group of 5 to 8 and can call for reinforcements. Somewhat intelligent, highly dangerous. Tough scales, but can be penetrated with large caliber weapons. Younger version can be controlled by Pandora.
Dragons - The middle of the Draconian family. Range from 300 to 500 feet long. Smaller ones can fly and gain magical resistance that cuts the damage of all magics of them by half. Some have weaponized tail ends. All have a power over one or two elements. Lone monsters, but highly intelligent and very dangerous. Explosive weapons work best to break its hard scales. Only dragons that gave into the darkness or accepted it can be controlled by Pandora which is not many.
Wyverns - The greatest of the Draconian family. Smallest recorded one was 7 miles long at best estimate. Largest spanned the entire Panama Canal of 50 miles long. These ancient beasts have seen many things and learned a great deal. Probably the only things taken in by the Box itself that maintained its right mind. Pandora herself has no control over these walking mountains. Power over all elements, fully nulls all magics done to them, commands respect from all draconians including ones under Pandoras control, and can speak in all languages of humans. Only thing that can bring down one is the natural flow of time.
Trolls - Fat, ugly beasts of burden. Over 10 feet of muscle and no brain. Easy to control and used as fort crushers. Easy to take down, but hard to take down at the same time. Almost anything can kill it. It just takes a lot of it before it goes down. Use all sort of large things as weapons such as trees, boulders, or really big swords or clubs. Might wear tough armor depending on who and where they are being used.
Ogres - The smaller cousin of a troll. Pretty much the same just a smaller package. Faster, but still slow. Used as building crushers.
Dinosaurs - The Box being made near the beginning of Earth had little to work with in terms of absorbing things and as dinosaurs roamed the world for a long time, the Box decided it would just absorb the best of the dinosaur world which meant the more successful meat eaters. Thanks Box.
Minotaurs - One of several mythical beasts stolen by Pandora. A powerful creature and ferocious to boot. They stand at 6 to 8 feet tall and can mow down almost anything in their way when they charge. Weapons used are mostly great axes and hammers. Used to guard places that Pandora herself goes to to relax.
Centaurs - Another mythic beast stolen by Pandora. Incredible senses and speed. Incredible accuracy with bows and crossbows and masters of spears and the like. Also used as guards.
Gryphons - The sky menace of the mythic times. Incredible fliers and amazing attackers. Fast and precise. Twice as big as a lion. Very dangerous. Used as lookouts, scouts, and trackers.
Hydras - The mythical multi-headed serpent. Can grow two more heads with each one cut off. It's said the hydra guarding Pandoras Box has 500 heads. They are highly dangerous and are very hard to kill when it has more than 3 heads. They can strike lightning fast with razor sharp teeth able to bite through anything. Used to guard Pandoras Island.
Krakkens - The rulers of the sea. Massive sized cephalopods with countless amount of arms with suction cups lines with saw like teeth able to pull down aircraft carriers under with ease. Guard the seas around Pandora Island.
Chimeras - The multi-animal of mythical beasts stolen from those times. Each of its parts adds to its over all power. Very dangerous. Another one of Pandora Islands guards.
Cerberus - The three headed dog that guarded the gates of Hades is now Pandoras personal pet. Highly ferocious and incredibly loyal to her.
Behemoths - Huge hellish monsters of pure hate if various forms. Some look like bulls, others lions, and even dragons. It's easy to see one as they are quite massive and radiate waves of dark energy like steam or mist from its body.
Elemental Beasts - Beasts made entirely of an element.
Reapers - Death itself. They do not attack anyone as they do not have to. If they are there, someone is going to die in some form or another. The only invincible dark beings from the box.
Grim Reapers - Death in the most terrifying way. They do not wait for your death to come. They will kill you themselves. They search out things to kill just to eat their souls even other dark beings. Luckily, because they strayed from their reaper paths, they are mortal and can be killed. Be warned, they do not just die so easily, it takes great effort to kill one.
Giant Bugs - The bigger bugs scaled and buffed up.
Crazed Animals(Bigger than humans) - Animals bigger than humans. Bigger and tougher.
Titans - The great beings of mythic times. Enslaved by Pandora during her last reign. She uses them as personal escort to her relaxation points and to make her Colossi.
Colossi - Made from Dark Stone like golems only on a massive scale. Several miles tall and weigh mountains. To date, she has created 12 of them to watch over her many fortresses of evil around the world.
Werewolves - An incredibly dangerous creature of the night. Fast, merciless, and powerful. Excellent senses and amazing killing instinct. Sometimes move alone or in packs of 5 to 15.
Lycans - A form a werewolf that has retained its human mind. With the ability to transform between forms at will. They do not possess the great strength and speed of the mindless killing brethren, but their ability to think rationally makes up for it.
Vampires - Legendary beings of the night. Powerful, astonishing healing abilities, flight, quick, and knowledgeable. An incredible foe to be up against.
Greater Demons - The more powerful forms of demons. Their abilities have wide ranges from great strength to magical powers. They are extremely dangerous even by themselves.
Wraiths - Incredibly powerful ghosts, spirits, or souls that have accepted the darkness into themselves. They regain reason and the ability to touch things willingly meaning they can cause you damage while you can do nothing. Weapons made of silver work best on them.
Shadow Creatures - The spawn of Pandora herself. She forms them into normal looking people or animals and uses them to find survivors or Pandora Items. Only way to know if one is a Shadow Creature is to see if its shadow is fainter or darker than a normal person.
Blobs - Huge animated puddles of goop or thick liquid. Have been known to eat things the size of elephants whole. They form around a Dark Object that gives them power and life. Almost impossible to kill if not for the fact you can just break the object giving it power. Has the ability to create slimes. Reside in sewers, swamps, or anywhere where dirty liquids are present.




exclaim Don't be shy in adding anything. I know I left out some of the more obvious ones. I just didn't feel like putting them in here.

The nights were still cold and patches of ice and snow still held firm to the ground. The sounds of rushing footsteps through dark, grimy alleys echos throughout the empty streets of lost hopes and dreams. More footsteps give chase. Goblins are persistent when it comes to getting a meal. Chase down their prey till it gives in to its fate. They will grow hungry though for the young man they chase is even more determined to live until this nightmare is over. One by one, the goblins fall from the silent flashes of his MP7 sub-machine gun. Big on not wanting to attract attention, his silencer helped with that problem. Sadly, the loud racket the goblins make wasn't. The sounds of the dark city begin to stir. At last the final goblin falls and the chase over. It was time to find a safe haven to rest. He quickly put his old free running skills to work and climbed up the small, half collapsed building next to him until he found a room with no outer way. It made it easier to escape when needed. The scarf around his neck to heed to his thoughts and covered the room to block out watching eyes. He removes his mask, vest, and jacket to reveal his well toned form covered in tattoos. He breath calmly and lets out a sigh. He ruffles his surprisingly clean black hair and slips on his glasses that take away from his wondrous red eyes. He stretches out before collapsing to the filthy floor. His eyes move back and forth in the dark room looking for a presence that has been following him for many moons and suns.
"I know you're there." he says in a calm voice.
One of the darker corners of the room warps as the presence makes itself visible.
"Nice work escaping those ravenous goblins. I wonder whose fault that was that alerted them?" the nameless reaper spoke in a dark whisper.
"It was yours!" he shouted at the dark figure. "You knocked over that trashcan! Thanks to you, I had to waste precious rounds on stupid goblins!"
The reaper laughs hysterically.
"Yes I know. Don't you love it?" it said jokingly. "Don't know why you're so mad. We both knew you could get away and here we are. Having a lovely conversation."
"Tsh! Lovely my backside." he replied a little angrily. "If you're quite done with your stupid death games, I would like to get some sleep."
"How boring. Sleep is for the weak. Why do you not join your fellow man in killing each other? I would get more souls to feast on." it said to get on the young mans nerves.
"Yeah that would be promising for humanities future. Plus what would I..." he stopped knowing what the reaper was doing. "Ha ha. Very funny."
The young man lays his head down on his jacket and shuts his eyes to take a short rest. The reaper a little angry that this mere human would act like that toward a reaper, but that was probably what drew the reaper to him. The dark figure warps back into the darkness as he waits for his target to continue his journey toward his inevitable death.

Troy was lucky he managed to get two Pandora Items that worked so well together. The mask to hide his presence from all the dark ones making it easy to hide and the camouflage scarf that can not only look like something, but feel like it as well. It made getting around real easy. Sadly, it all goes to waste when you have an annoying reaper following you around that constantly gives you away to things looking for a meal. Having a gun only goes so far until you run out off bullets and having to good melee weapon is pointless if you don't know how to use them right. The two swords on his back are pretty much for show. Never practiced any kind of swordsmanship in his life so just swinging them around wildly is the best he can do. The sun was up and most things did not like light even though most of the sunlight was blocked out by the clouds. There hasn't been a clear day since the nightmare began. Everything happened so fast. No one knew what was happening until it was too late. The dark beings swarmed over everything. Sure they were easy to kill, but it made no difference with their sheer numbers. The military everywhere did their best, but all eventually fell when the golems appeared. Heavy weaponry worked on them, but if they got the first hit. No kind of armor held up against such power. Soon people started going mad and started killing each other. Animals too. Soon everything became what it is today. Hell on Earth. He snapped back to reality as the sound of the undead neared his location.
"Damn! Zombies." he muttered to himself.
"Indeed. Not even a soul to eat." the reaper said from behind him. "Get rid of them."
His eyes widened as he knew what that meant. The reaper banged his scythe against the wall he was taking cover behind and vanished.
"Damn you you stup..." he stopped hearing the footsteps moving toward him.
They maybe slow, but they are notorious for ambushing quite well for brainless monsters. He could hide, but there would be no telling how long it would take for them to move on. Plus, knowing the reaper, it would probably give him away anyway. It was time for some classic hack and slash. He drew his swords and moved toward them with a fearless gaze.
"For once, I'm going to do what you say for I have my own vendetta on these undead bastards!" he shouts as he begins the bloody fight.

It wasn't hard to kill a zombie. It's just that it gets tiring after awhile if you don't know how to control yourself and you don't know how to properly use a katana let alone two at the same time. They seem to have endless numbers that come from nowhere. Like they are all linked to each other some how and move to join in when food is found. Annoying things. Suddenly a light appears above him and nearly gets a bite taken out of him when he tries to see what it is. Then the light began shooting balls out light that blew the zombies apart with ease.
"What the hell is that?" he shouted pushing off the zombie that almost got him. "Screw it! I'll deal with it when these bastards are dead."
The massacre continued till none were left. He quickly sheathed his swords and drew his gun aiming it at the light.
"Who or what are you?!" he shouted at it.
