Before i post the storyline background for the roleplay i would like to say that although the story is set in the future, weapons, buildings and transport are extremely basic. More so than we have in the world today so cars, phones, computers, etc, will not be around during the story, neither would any of the characters really understand what they were, with the exception of the humans/desert people having slightly more technology than the other races.
During a world war in the year 3006 many people and parts of the world were destroyed by technological electronic bombs which destroyed technology as the human race knew it. All seemed to be ended until 300 survivors from underground bunkers across the world were released from the safe-prisons they had been sealed in for several years. During the following months (Now 3013) anarchy broke loose and the last remaining humans split into five seperate clans who later became known as: (Members wishing to join must roleplay as one of the following races in order to join the rp)
The air walkers: A race of humans who moved into the mountains and slowly became adapted to the cold weathers and evolved over the next 1000 years and had slowly grown wings. Now able to fly through the air this race rules the world from air. The ability to fly means that this race can easily abduct prey from the air and carry it off to high cliffs. The air walkers worship a diety which they believe controls all of the skies in which they fly. They believe that snow, thunder and rain all come from their God.
The hunters: A race of humans who stayed level on the earth and moved to the forests. Over the next 1000 years they adapted to the ground and grew paw like feet and hands which held large claws made for hunting and tree climbing. Their speed and sight on land is extremely high and they are able to hunt any creature during dark hours. The hunters are a lot like werewolves, able to switch between a human and beast form to appear almost like the human race.
Water dwellers: A race of humans who moved out to sea and over the next 1000 years developed gills and webbed feet for moving quickly and swiftly through water. They are able to move onto land and appear almost human when their features are hidden. All water dwellers have a small tattoo on the backs of their necks which contain runes to enter the temples. The water people believe the world to be watched over by a Goddess of the sea. They believe that ths storms that plague the seas are caused by the anger of their Goddess.
Human race: The only race to have not visually evolved over time. Their skin adapted to heat over the next 1000 years and they now reside in the desert where they live as humans once did. The human race are more developed with technology than the other four races and have created wind powered transport cars, with sails, to cross the desert with ease and also have access to a very small amount of basic firearms through years of salvaging. They worship a God that they believe creates thunder to water the deserts and sustain them.
Earth crawlers: This race crawled into caves after the human race split. Their eyes adjusted to the dark and their skin to the coolness of the earth. Their teeth and nails soon became sharp from weaving tunnels deep into the earth. This race can not take sunlight anymore and are only spotted above ground after dark. Over years the earth crawlers have dgu a labrynth of tunnels which are almost impossible to escape once you have been dragged deep within.
Now in the year 4013 a prophecy approaches and the races, the ancestors to the survivors, are oblivious to the up-coming events that will take place to tear the earth apart if it can not be stopped. It is up to intelligent members of the races to discover this prophecy and join in an attempt to force the world together once again....

My Biography
Name: Kaeria
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Water Dweller
Weapons: Twin sai (the daggers that electra uses) which are strapped to a sheath belt around her waist and a large cross bow which hangs across her back.
Appearance: Kaeria stands around 5'10 with raven black hair which falls not far below her shoulders. Her Hair is braided with colourful blue threads to match the sparking blue of her eyes. Her attire consists of black skin tight three quater length trousers (made from the same kind of material wet suits are) and a black matching top cut just below her breast to leave her tummy out on show. Up her back and across the back of her neck Kaeria has her clans black tattoos, etched into her skin using natural dyes when she was still small, but is currently the last remaining member of her clan.
Brief Biography: Kaeria grew up with her grandmother after her mother died during childbirth. Kaeria had no clan siblings and her father had already left the clan to sire new clans across the oceans (as was customary for the male members of most water dweller clans). Kaeria's grandmother taught Kaeria how to fish, hunt, salvage from underwater and to often leave sacrifice at the water temples beneath the ocean for the water Goddess 'Wave'. After Kaeria's grandmother passed through old age and Kaeria gave her body back to the waters she inherited the small boat on which her clan had lived and sought to travel until she found her clan mate.
**********************************************
She steadied her breathing, her chest rising and falling steadily, her pupils narrowed to slits as she concerntrated her view down the length of the bolt. Small bugs chirped loudly all around her and the quiet thud through the leaves of the forest echoed around the clearing as it moved towards the lake, the silver glinting around its neck. She took one last deep breath and let it out slowly pulling the trigger as the air left her chest. The bolt flew through the trees, tearing through leaves until finally it struck.
A deafening roar filled the trees as the bolt lodged itself among the fur on the shoulder of a hunter. "Driad!!", Kaeria cursed a little too loud and the Hunters head jerked in her direction, he had spotted her. She had only a few moments to sling her crossbow into place on her back and turn to scramble away before the creature came crashing through the trees behind her, hot on her heels.
She pulled her Sai from their sheath as she ran, her feet pounding on the floor, the sai wouldn't be fantastic against a hunters claws but she'd rather have those than her bare hands. Kaeria's mind flew quickly to the pain on her leg as a low branch tore across the skin but soon darted back to her head. The path ahead of her looked different, this wasn't the way she had come, she was lost...
The hunter behind her was getting closer, almost upon her. The trees around the area begun to thin out, and the ground beneath Kaeria's feet became more moist, the smell of sea water was being carried inwards from the sea.
Kaeria struggled to slow quickly, stumbling a little as she did so. The cliff edge had come into view and she had stopped only a few meters short of it falling onto her knees to stop herself from going right over. She leapt back onto her feet and spun around, her sai held high ready to face the furious hunter.
He must have seen the cliff a little before Kaeria had for he slowed down to a stop a short distance from Kaeria and bent down onto the floor. Kaeria watched him with her eyes transfixed as he groaned in pain until the fur that had once covered his body had now disappeared replaced by human skin. He stood straight and pulled a dagger from a sheath on his hip - the only thing he was wearing.
"Little girls should never play with stray dogs, they never know when the dog might bite!" The Man looked around his mid twenties, 'old enough to have sired at least two clans' Kaeria thought to herself. His hair in his human form was the exact same color as his fur, slate gray with flecks of brown all over.
Kaeria leapt at the guy before he had the chance to attack her. She brought her sai down from above and he blocked her blows with his dagger one after another. For a man with only one small dagger he fought very well. Kaeria had managed to keep the fight going her way until the hunter caught her face with a blow from his fist.
Feeling slightly dizzied she fell to the floor only to be hoisted up again by her neck. Her breath caught and she coughed struggling to gasp for air as the hunter changed back into his beast form and walked towards the cliff. "Your going to regret that arrow shot", he growled in a deep throaty voice as he held her out above the water.
Siezing her last chance Kaeria snatched at the pendant around his neck and slashed down his chest with the sai in her right hand. Kaeria heard the deafening roar of the hunter for only a few moments before she crashed into the water below. Her gills struggled to take in as much oxygen from the water as she could manage as her muscles started to relax and ease with the familiarity of the cold sea water around her. |
