Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mysterious, beautiful - but above all, powerful in the ways of Magick and Illusions,
the Angels are the supremes of the Clan. It takes many centuries of magical training to
become one, and the immense power may drive one towards insanity or beyond -
but in the end, is the authority not inviting?

Elites, the ever-powerful backbone of the Clan, second to only the Angels,
are those that have reached the pinnacle of physical prowess.
Ranging in power from the lowly Bronze Elites to the nearly invincible Amamantean,
Elites are made - not born.

Warriors, to use a skeletal metaphor, are the bare bones of the Clan,
the purely physical presence. Broken down into two subclasses, the samurai who
lay their lives on the lines and the paladins that wield holy blades,
warriors are an ever-vital part of the Illusions Clan.

Silent, deadly, and - above all else - wearing black, assassins of the Illusions Clan are
death under the cover of night. Generally wielding only the barest bit of magic, assassins are
also divided into two classes: ninja that destroy the other clans from within and
snipers that shoot down our enemies. The assassins don't ever fall until they're dead.

Mages, ah, yes, useful mages that can slow down opposing forces are the organs of
the Illusions world. Broken into four classes - white, black, necromantic/alchemic,
or summon - magery does not do justice to its undermined reputation. Rather, it surpasses it.

White mages are holy beings, sentient for a time, waiting for
the right chance to restore lost allies with the help of white magic or defeat darker enemies
with the power of light. They grasp only a rudimentary knowledge of anything beyond
white magic, but their fierce monopoly on holy powers more than make up for it.

Black mages are the polar opposite of white wizards, focusing on earthly attacks
controlled by their own powers. Lightning, ice, wind, fire - the black mages can do it all,
except heal and revitalize. Not the same as necromantic wizards,
but still as vital, dark-magic users are bomb. Literally.

Powerful to be able to revive the dead, necromancers are almost strictly limited to
that, for anything else using their powers would be incredibly dangerous.
Still, though, these death-defying deviants are especially useful
against a strong horde of enemies - because they see dead people.

Alchemy, the trade of Reine Ar'kzal. They have the special ability to convert anything
into everything, but are bound by Science's laws. But, however, they are the creative wits
of the Clan, experimenting with their powers to no ends. So, if your potion explodes,
just blame it on the Alchemists.

They're not in the same class as mages for a reason - elementalists
and druids don't have reserves of magic to expend at their every whim. However,
they do hold a energy that is used and reused to harness the natural earth's magic.
Really, the druids are a bit like the muscles - recycling energy to power the body of the Clan.

The psychics are in a class of their own, born with their potentials.
They wield the power of the mind in both telekinetic and telepathic abilities, ranging from
simple tricks that look like nothing more than pulling a rabbit out of a hat -
to possession of the weak-minded and manipulation of the matter around them
without the need for alchemical chants. Yeah, you should fear them.
