Thi is going to be short for now, because I feel lazy. Later, prehaps, I will add more professional things to it. Jus for now, however, I will use a basic format.


Rules: Just the basic guild rules.

Character sheet:

Name:
Age:
Abilities:
Appearance:

A few rules about the sheet, though. First, you do not have any magic at the beginning. No sword'smenship or any of that old skills. You start out as a basic teenager, able to do thing's that you, the person typing onto Gaia, can do. And only that, I may add.
You'r appearance is a regular teenager, and will change to a fantasy style once the 'plot event' happens. You will know when it happens.


And now, ou'r feature presentation!

Year 2006, the year of reconing. Throught the ages of science fiction, there has been metiour stories, aelien stories and deep space flight stories. However, you never heard of a sci-fi story like this. All the others reguard the Earth as a standard, keeping it unchanged while all of space is. Now, space shall stay the same, and the Earth will change forever.
It all started with a green star that appeared one night. Over the year's, it became bigger and bigger in the night sky. Along with the green star came strange weather events. Snow, suddenly drifting into the middle of Japan in the middle of summer. Glaciers suddenly forming hudge arrays of cracks. Tornados raging across Antartica. Floods drowning the deserts. All of these thing's following the green star.
A few year's worth of that, and stargazer's wondered if the green star was moving towards earth. Well, that's exactly what it was doing. When the scientists figured that out, they came to an agreement: the human civilisation would not know about it. They would be happier that way.
Well, the green star stayed in the sky for a few year's, glowing brighter and brighter with each passing year. Then, it hit the moon. That was when humans knew that somthing was wrong. The moon shattered, creating five large shards, and endless amounts of small rocks that later, would form an asteroid belt. The green star was still intact, and it was coming for earth. This would not be heald back, like the endless small rocks that burned up in the atmosphere. This would end Earth.
That was year 2006. Somthing happened the day the moon died. Something changed in the Earth. All plate movement stopped. Lava, just came to be non-existant. People could look into the bowls of the volcano for the first time. It was wierd, and puzzled scientists. They never extected what happened later in the year.
Near the end, they knew within the next year, the green star would hit. They also developed a theory that the star somehow affected all these strange happenings. They did now know how, when or what, but that would probably be anwsered. The green star was approaching, and Earth was going to die. However, it did not happen the way they expected.
Tremours started at the beginning of the day. When charted, they found that the epicenters of each and every one made a kind of grid around the earth. The next day, the source came. Giant towars of metal sprouted from the ground, rising from the tremour spots. They came to rediculus heights, all of them spanning to fifty miles above the water level. They covered the heightest moutians, and could be seen from every part of the surface. And it did not stop there. Oh no, it did not. Great metal girders sprouted from the top, connecting each tower with a seiries of metal path's and connections. This made an image of a gigantic grid, covering the Earth. The spaces between this grid were covered with some sort of force barrier, because every rocket that came to passing the tower's exploded. Nothing could pass it.
However, no matter how hard it was, the green star could crush it. This is probably why strange pointy things sprouted from the towars, all of the ones on the green star side pointing at the green star. Within minutes of the tower's forming ion the barrier's, the pointy things were out. A green aura surrounded each one, growing and pulsating. This went on for a few days, the green light shining down upon the people living beneath the barrier's. On the seventh day, they all fired.
There was no sound, but a great blinding light fired from each tower. Each needle of light hit the green star, shattering it. The Earth was saved, saved by itself. People figured out what the green star was, and then they knew how close to death they were. They also understood that whatever this twoer matrix is, it helped them. There was only one problem with it, though:
It did not come down. Weather it was designed like that or there just plain was not enough energy, the system did not come down.
Even worse, every time the cannon's that saved earth fired, i they expelled ten ton's of soil and water. The over shell of Earth was covered by water, with a soil bed. The towars came about a mile above the surface, giant pinnacles over the shallow ocean. It was ok, the towars created sunlight from their tops. They even tuned on and off like day and night. The people eventuially forgot about this day, and their civilisation lived on.
However, the surface was a different matter. The atmosphere remained, and thus people could live on the top. Life could live. And that is exactly what happened. Spores from the origional plant species came up somehow, and made lush forests that covered the surface. These trees caused the water to depressions, forming oceans. It was Earth all over again, except withought humans.


Today, the year 567AE(After Earth), an ad appeared on the internet. Basicly, some scientist claiming that he found a way into one of the towers. Now, the general population beleves that the towers cannot be opened, and started to dig their way into the earth.
However, even with such opposition, there are still a few who beleve. They beleve that there is a way into a tower, and want to see it. They meed this scientist in Lisbon, Portugal, where a tower is located just off the coast.
