Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stuff coming when I have time to update.... o_o'

Synopsis: (from what I posted on the NaNoWriMo website) [NOTE: Subject to change!!!]

In a world not unlike England in the early 1900s, a science that goes beyond what many understand grants knowledge to the select few that dug just a little too deep, with a heavy toll. Alchemy. The science of deconstruction, reconstruction, and conversion of the elements. It's not magic and nor is it known to all, but sometimes, it is the only choice.

Elenora Haine, 2nd Class Royal Alchemist of the Military, struggles between life as an alchemist and a normal 16 year old girl. Just as she begins to find a balance, an obstacle she never thought would affect comes into play. With a threat of death looming over her head and an inescapable past haunting her dreams, the life of a normal 16 year old girl begins to seem nearly impossible.

Rating: Definitely a PG-13, due to language, blood, violence, death, drug/alcohol use (possibly, haven't gotten far enough to really know), guns, and topics that make you think.

Genre: Sadly, I'm not entirely sure. Let's go with a mix of Realistic Fantasy and Adventure. It's kinda like a cop-ish detective book but not really... I mean, come on, the main character is 16 and it's from her point of view... -_- Once I get more written, I may update this. Tell me if you think something else would work better.

Characters

(Will be updated slowly with important characters. Here are just a brief intro from the first 2 chapters. More info will be added as necessary or when I realize another important character showed up/ a minor becomes more important to the plot.)

Elenora Haine: The heroine of this tale. An intelligent, 16 year old alchemist that works for the Military Police, a 2nd Class Royal Alchemist. Can be described as haughty, annoying and untrusting but she has a reason. Is quite caring and respectful when it comes right down to it, sometimes. Also called: Haine or El

Lt Alexander Haine: El's big brother and superior. 21 years old. [more info later] Also called: Lieutenant, Lt Haine, Lex or Brother (latter only by El)

Sgt Carson Nunez: One of Lex's men. Late 20s. Also called: Nunez, Sgt Nunez, or Sergeant.

Officer Pauline Roberts: One of Lex's "men", is El's regular driver. She's in her early 20s. Also called: Roberts.

Officer Claude Branch: One of Lex;s men. About the same as Roberts, early 20s, was in the same class as her in the Military Academy. Deeply interested in alchemy but knows near squat about it. Also called: Branch.

Miscellaneous

Where everything else I think deserves a spot will go... o_o
