±sign-up topic±
At last the sign up topic has arisen! Here is where all that wish to join shall sign up! Note to all that this is M for mature because of occasional violence, language, and blood. So remember that I warned all the younger set before hand!
Now on to the plot (note to all those who saw this in the yes or no topic, I added the rest so you might want to read it over so you know everything there is to offer, or at the very least skim it for the new things and fully read the last part)
±±±
Nacrealis, what one could only describe as a world of fantasy. It is nothing less then the entire being of all magic, dreams, and imagination. All existence in Nacrealis revolves around a tower suspended in the middle of all space, a space that can neither be lost nor understood. All life has sprouted from the single seed that grew tall and strong, forming the living tower of Nacrealis and it holds together the fibers of the entire world. The tower of Nacrealis, and Nacrealis itself are the essence of the mind, and that is why the world is held together by the prayers of priestess Hikachiru, her prayers are the light penetrating the darkness of the void and bringing together the essences of life. This world is a mirror image of the world's dreams and fantasies. It is a world in which everyone exists; it is where our spirits thrive.
But the only knowledge of this world is surpassed as
Dreams, no one truly comprehends the base of the entire world in which they exist. Because the only time they are within Nacrealis in mind, is when they are asleep, more specifically dreaming. The world, in which we all exist, is only a shadow of Nacrealis as so many worlds are. And all humanity does not realize it. It is a sad but true fact, that all life forms go about living only shadows of what they are truly capable of. This is mainly because their mind has shut out the idea that such life could ever exist, and in turn it has made them only aware of their short lived lives in their own little world. But there are some humans in extremely rare circumstances that are born and raised away from the walls that chain them to a normal life. Though they may not realize it, they exist between worlds, seeing beyond what others care to. And even though this sixth sense goes by without any concern, those who have it are about to experience something that no human before them could have ever imagined...

Deep within the tower of Nacrealis...
"M'Lord,"A ragged demon says bowing in front of the figure standing in the shadows, "our forces have nearly completely overtaken the Tower. The only section which has not yet been overtaken is the top where the priestess blocks our attempts to advance."
"Order them to draw back, I intend to handle her myself," The dark figure says calmly stepping forward causing the demon to step to the side.
"But master, isn't it risky? The priestess can call down all the powers of Nacrealis at any time! Not even you may be able to compete with that!" Shouted the demon after the figure draped in black.
The tall figure stops but doesn't turn to answer, instead casually replying over his shoulder,"I know what I am dealing with. Never question my authority."
"Oh...u-uh I a-am s-s-sorry I d-didn't mean it like that p-please have mercy!" The creature says falling to its knees, black beads of sweat trickle down it's wrinkled brow.
"Fool," The figure says quickly disappearing up the staircase, leaving the bewildered creature there on his knees. A sign of relief crosses his face. But not a second after it twists into a broken scream as the limp torso below it dissolves away in a flash of light. The head continues to scream, ruby blood collecting in a puddle on the floor where it had rolled before it dissolves into the air like smoke. The other demonic creatures that had been standing along the walls of the earthen room recoiled back to the wall in fear. It was not long before the waves of demons within the tower withdrew to the base while the dark caped figure continued up the spiral staircases formed from gnarled fines twisted together like a rope bridge.
As the figure continues to walk up the staircase, the vines reacted in less than a hundredth of a second, recoiling into the walls and leaving him to fall to the floor. But he stands on thin air, a small dark barrier under his feet, "Now now Hikachiru, you didn't think you could get rid of me that easily?" he chuckled lowly and continued walking up, each footstep creating a dark step that disappeared as he left it.
As his escapade went on, the walls around him began to close in. He merely smiled as they locked around him. After a few minutes of silence between the closed walls the growing intensity of a high pitched whine pierced through the walls, and they dissolved away much as the demon assistant had moment before.
"You really shouldn't waste your energy Hikachiru, these feeble attempts to dispose of me are growing less and less amusing." He said grinning. Now the barrier under his feet moved upward like an elevator. The ashen walls of the stairs remained earthly silent, and the only sound was that off the dark figure's fluttering cape as the barrier neared the top of the tower. It stopped suddenly and the man stepped off onto the highest reaches of the tower, the wind blowing his long night black hair gently as if tugging him away from his goal. He glanced toward the center of the tower were a large growth of branches created a barren canopy of dark leaves. Within the overgrown branches a woman hung, intertwined with the vines and part of the branches. Her long silver hair coiled through the branches, and her lucid skin shone like moonlight. Though she did not move as the figure approached, the branches from which she hung tightened around her as if bracing itself against the shadow.
"Ah priestess, it has been so long since we have been together." He said slyly, bringing his fingers along her cheek. "And look at what you have become, you left me for eternity in the void. You took my rule and destroyed my forces with your five sacred guardians. But you never expected me to return for these last thousand years have you?" He brought the finger down her neck, his sharp nail just grazing the skin.
"you...your darkness was not meant for the world...it was not meant for any world, Cierres!" Hikachiru shouted at him suddenly as if snapping out of a trance, her crystal blue eyes glared at him with pure hatred and he merely snickered. And as quickly as she had snapped to attention light poured from around her, Cierres almost wasn't able to react to the ferocity and quickness of her aggression by creating a dark barrier around him. The force pushed him back to the end of the tower, "Your intentions were those derived from darkness, you are not the one to rule Nacrealis!" The branches lowered Hikachiru to the ground, her long white robe sprawled out behind her and her hair blew out behind her like beams of sunlight.
"Hikachiru, your soft heart is your ultimate weakness. If you hadn't banished me with the help of your pathetic guardians, you could have had power beyond your imagination, you could have ruled as my queen, a rule to destroy the weak and make all bow down to my force. But you instead wanted freedom and light, so you hurtled me into darkness where you thought I would never return. But what you don't understand is that I have already won," Cierres shouted, a violent storm of black wind poured towards Hikachiru. She gasped and recoiled back, bracing herself for the black blast. But light burst forth and held back the torrent of black. Five figures, the five guardians of the tower of Nacrealis and of Hikachiru stood creating a wall of light. They stood strong against the darkness that threatened to swallow the priestess.
"Hikachiru! We can not hold him for long!" They cried, "There is no way for us to save Nacrealis, it is our sworn duty to protect you and the people for all eternity. Before we are broken you must... engrave our souls into our weapons and send them to the only world left that has not been invaded by Cierres's forces!"
"I will never do that!" Shouted Hikachiru over the growing intensity of the black winds;"I could never sacrifice you! No matter what happened!"
"Please Priestess! It is the last hope for Nacrealis! We would sacrifice anything! It is the only option!" They yelled, their blockade beginning to be forced back by the roaring black wave. Tears clung to the eyes of Hikachiru, the five guardians looked to her in sympathy, "please priestess Hikachiru, we wish only to save Nacrealis, it is our sacrifice to protect all who live within the worlds, and will ever live there. Please Priestess do it now!"
Hikachiru eyes were flooded by tears, her heart grew heavy as the barrier was pushed closer and closer to her, small threads of black began to drain into the flickering light. She knew what she had to do.
"NOW DIE!" Shouted Cierres pushing forth one huge burst of energy. But the energy disintegrated, The five guardians of Nacrealis stood in a ring, their bodies were enshrouded in an otherworldly light that had come unto them from the broken hearted Hikachiru. Their bodies fell to the ground as their spirits were engraved into their weapons. The weapons pulsated with energy before disappearing into the sky and then out of Nacrealis. The lights faded and the bodies of the guardians disappeared. Hikachiru stood drained of her energy, sagging as she struggled to remain on her feet.Cierres laughed loudly and walked towards her.
"I will admit that the engraving of the guardian’s souls into their weapons may have sounded like a good last attempt to survive, but you see. Almost every thread of worlds is under my control, wherever they do end up getting to there is little chance that their successor’s will survive." He chuckled lowly bringing the limp face of the priestess eye to eye with him.
"This may be true, but one world still remains free of any signs of your foul play." She gasped, managing a slight smile.
"You mean the human world?" He said staring at her in disbelief, followed by laughter,"There is no one there capable of having such energy passed on to them. Humans have long left their power inaccessible, becoming weak and stupid rather then the strong force they once were. They were not even worth my time you see? That is why I didn't bother to take control of them! The weapons will end up nowhere and the little strength that the guardians did muster will be wasted!" He threw back his head and laughed again, the priestess only glared at him, she knew through her prayers that he was right, she had tried to reach those from the human race and it was true that they were beyond her reach in their greed and stupidity. But also, she had found a small trickle of a few that were past the evils of those around them. They were the only hope for Nacrealis and the entire being of humanity.
"Now we must be going back to my palace. I have many plans for you priestess;"Cierres laughed again. A pitch black horse with fiery wings landed at his side, pulling the priestess with him he got on it and took off towards the forsaken lands at the farthest dark regions of Nacrealis. Unbeknownst to him, the priestess prayed harder then ever before, prayers going out to the inhabitants of Nacrealis, but stronger then any other to the few on Earth who were closest in contact with the lights of Nacrealis. And her prayers would not go unanswered...
±±±
What happened on the Earth not a split moment from that very time (or as close as time can be measured between the whole of Nacrealis and the Human's world) the five power endowed weapons made their arrival to Earth. They searched relentlessly over the lands for any human that was not fully consumed by those around them. But even though they searched with the utmost intensity for the vibrations of Nacrealis, it was a search that could never come to an end. Because trying to find the one small vibration coming from a school of millions was like finding one particular grain of sand on a beach. This had been what Hikachiru had feared, and so she prayed with every strand of her power remaining to send the message to anyone, a message that was so intense that the entire span of all worlds would have been able to receive it, had it not been focused with ever drop of concentration towards the Earth. And at last it was heard, in the form of a dream in the minds of the sacred five, the only ones on the planet who could hear it...
"Please... Hear me... You must... Must save Nacrealis... From Cierres. You must take the weapons that has been engraved... With the souls of the guardian’s sacrifice...They made the ultimate sacrifice... To save... Everyone... Please... Please save Nacrealis, save all the worlds...You are our last chance...Please," The flickering image of Priestess Hikachiru said in the dreams of the five that would have to wield the weapons engraved with powers from the life force of the five guardians. And then in their dream they went through the barriers of Nacrealis, through a barrier to receive the weapon destined to them. And grabbing hold of it, they would awaken.
The weapon, which they were destined to, would be there with them. Upon touching it they received powers that only they as wielders could possess. And even though Cierres would not admit it, he knew that the passing on of the powers of the five great guardians was endangering him more then the five before. Because upon passing their lives to the five humans, they had given more then just their abilities. They had given their life force, and their soul. With it, a human relearning its capabilities would become amazingly powerful. And knowing this he sent forth-small bands of his forces to Earth to destroy the five humans before they had a chance to gain any power. They might have the five guardian’s powers but they would not be able to wield it or defeat his minions now, and once they were gone there would be no force left anywhere to defeat him.
The only chance the humans had now was something he didn't consider. And that was the five guardians, because even though they now no longer existed except as weapons, the five wielders were not fully alone once they held them. Though the guardians could not contact them through words, they could guide the weapons, and it was the only way the humans would stand a chance...
±±±
Even though there were only 5 weapons that were endowed upon those humans who were gifted enough to receive them, there were still a few others in that world that Hikachiru found a small thread to grasp them. And Hikachiru knew that they to were those that were destined to help them. But even with the finding of these others, there was still a lacking of weapons that had gone to the five who had received them and they would not have the power to defeat the evil dawning on them. But she knew more ways then one to help those she could reach.
Because the five guardians of the tower of Nacrealis were not the only power that she had left after Cierres’s raid over the tower. After all, the priestess was the greatest power in all Nacrealis and so she knew what she could do to give the power to strike down darkness to the five humans who would not get a weapon. She let go parts of her own soul, of the very power that she used to rule the different regions of Nacrealis. She let go of five sections of herself, one for each region that she had so long protected. Each one had the slightest essence of a reigning race’s soul. And Hikachiru hoped that this small shard of power could help them, the essence would help them find one of the weapon-wielding humans. It would help them find the one that the guardian had reigned over.
And she sent out these five essences, leaving her empty inside, the world could not live if she hadn’t. She knew, and so she would make a sacrifice to, like the five she had loved, who had sacrificed their lives. She gave parts of herself.
Now as the fiery horse rose farther into the sky, Hikachiru felt her connections with the world fading. She had given them away, in hopes that she could save her world. Whether any of the five other humans she had targeted got the essences she did not know, just like she did not know if any of the weapons did. But in her heart, she knew that somehow they would receive it. They would come and save Nacrealis, they would be the ones to save the world…

Now, to begin the five regions of Nacrealis. It is important you check these out because every guardian reigns over one of the five regions. As well as every race (referring to the empowered allies) lives specifically concentrated in one region. So if you are being one of the empowered allies then the region you pick’s reigning specie will become that which is passed on to you. ANYWAY…
But before you read I will explain one big factor in the regions. And that is the Pogyo. Pogyos are large bird creatures that are incapable flight, but most are capable of very fast running. Their plumage comes in a wide variety, and almost every region is full of them. (for example of what a Pogyo looks like think chocobos from FF but more chicken-like)
Furi-gari Plains~Guardian-Mandaar Omagi~Reigning race-lycanthropes (Nightblaze)
The Furi-gari plains are a vast valley of fields and grasses with occasional small clusters of trees, as well as some lakes and rivers. Many of the lycanthropes from across Nacrealis migrated here. In legend it says that Hikachiru set them free from a dark force and put them there to run free across the plains. Most of the towns are sprouted alongside the lakes, but that doesn’t mean they all are, Since the plains are so vast, most travelers use Pogyos or commonly known as the ‘Furi fowl’ in the Furi-gari plains. The Pogyo of the plain’s plumage is usually a mixture of creams and grays though they have been known to come in a variety of colors. Pogyos are quite common on the fruitful plains and most are friendly and willing to give anyone a ride to wherever they may want to go. The tall Ganeshen Mountains on one side and the Kurusara forest on another border the plains. And of course the tower of Nacrealis in the middle of the borders.
Yurkoro Desert~Gaurdian-Illusen Glade~Reigning race-Kitsune (Sheila Rae)
The Yurkoro Desert is a long and scorching desert. The legend of the desert is that when Hikachiru was creating the mountains, some of the purest concentration of the soil broke from it and it was what sprouted the desert. It is how they explain why the sand is so pure and golden. There is not much forests or water. But there is the occasional oasis, most, of which cities are built around, using it as their life source. The Kitsune race thrives here because of its ability to adapt. Like almost any desert, there are bandits. And as most places, Pogyo are used to get around. The Pogyo of the desert are commonly golden or dusty brown, the temperament of them is feisty, its is hard to tame wild ones so it is more common to rent them from stables. The desert is bordered by the Ganeshen Mountains and breaks of on the other end at the beaches of the Umi-garasu Sea. (And of course connected to the tower of Nacrealis in the center of the border)
Umi-garasu sea~Guardian-reserved~Reigning race-Angel (open)
The Umi-garasu Sea spreads it’s clean and clear crystal waters throughout the land of Nacrealis. Despite the fact that all waters in other regions came from the sea, it is at it’s purest there. It is even said that it has magical propitious. It is a place that fallen angels live in the most concentration and that could be the reason the water has strange properties. The angels are said to inhabit there because they are like tears from Hikachiru. And it is said that her tears make up the sea. There are many islands on the sea where settlements are. And it is the only place in Nacrealis that does not have Pogyos. Flightless races that inhabit the sea usually travel in boats. Angels simply fly. Its beaches become the Yurkoro desert and the rivers through the Kurusara forest. And as always the middle border is connected to the tower of nacrealis’s beaches.
Kurusara forest~Gaurdian-Merrow Shirata~Reigning race-Forest nymph (Psychic_Suzanne)
Kurusara forest is said to have some of the oldest trees in all of Nacrealis. It is even said that from a tree Hikachiru was born, and from the seed of the wilted tree grew the tower of Nacrealis with all the power the tree had absorbed from Nacrealis itself. Forest nymphs, the maidens who are one with nature thrive throughout the treetops. They’re powers come from the trees themselves. Most towns are built in the treetops. The Pogyo of the Kurusara forest are usually shades of dark grey or very faint green. They are very gentle, but extremely shy and rare to see. The forest holds many mysteries within it’s ancient canopies. IT is bordered by the Umi-garasu Sea and the Furi-gari plains. And as always, the center border is that of the tower of Nacrealis. The forest is also the closest region to the tower.
Ganeshen mountains~Gaurdian-reserved~Reigning race-Demon (reserved)
The Ganeshen Mountains have stood as a protective border for Nacrealis for as long as any of its inhabitants can remember. They represent the power of Nacrealis. They are the main pathways from anywhere into Nacrealis (although there are some other ways in) Probably one of the only races in the whole of the mountains is demons, of all sorts. Those that appear as human or have slight traits that set them apart, as well as monsters. The mountains have many villages of demons. Many of the inhabitants of Nacrealis recognize these towns as ‘the army of Nacrealis’ because the demons are very powerful and keep out intruders in the mountains. The Pogyo of the Ganeshen Mountains are the only Pogyo in Nacrealis that have flight capabilities, although they don’t necessarily fly. But they can glide from high mountains to the next making them essential in travel. The mountains Pogyo are black or tan and are distrusting but very loyal. The mountains are the borders on the Furi-gari plains and the Yurkoro desert. (And obviously the tower of Nacrealis)
Next up is more in-depth info on the races that are for the empowered allies. Note for the allies-whatever region’s guardian they reside in is the one that they are ‘joining up’ with. And being empowered basically does mean you become that race.
Lycanthropes~Region-Furi-gari plains (Nightblaze)
Although I have heard a lot of different descriptions of Lycanthropes I am sticking with this kind for this RPG, wether it is wrong or not oh well. The Lycanthropes of Nacrealis were said to be created as watchdogs in the Ganeshen Mountains. That was until Hikachiru set them free in the Furi-gari plains. The Lycanthrope is basically a human-isque figure with wolven traits. (Tail, ears, fur, etc.) They are very agile, athletic, and fast. Some are even said to run so fast you can’t see them. The Lycanthropes fight using their sharp claws and teeth and are quite the worthy opponents.
Kitsune~Region-Yurkoro desert (reserved)
Like the Lycanthrope I have heard many descriptions of Kitsune. I am leaving this one a bit vaguer but whatever. The Kitsune is basically the materialization of a fox into a human-isque for (much like lycanthropes and wolves). They have fox traits (tails(s), ears, fur, etc.) They are also quite agile and fast. But kitsunes aren’t quite as strong and not such good fighters. They do however make up for that with their use of magic. Some have control of earth, and some have basic spiritual attack (beams, shields, yeah…), They live in the desert because of their ability to adapt.
Angels~Region-Umi-garasu sea (OPEN)
The angels of the Umi-garasu sea are those who fell from the sky where Hikachiru put them to watch over Nacrealis. They go to the sea because they can watch over those at sea and it is the only place they feel they have a connection with Hikachiru. The only difference between them and the normal angels (besides huge difference in power) is probably in the wings. The fallen angel’s wings are smaller and streaked with grey. However they are still able to fly with these wings. They have great-untapped powers. But until they reach them they are best at healing and spreading light around them. (And their ability to fly makes them able to travel well)
Forest nymph~Region-Kurusara forest (Psychic_Suzanne)
The forest nymphs take the form of beautiful maidens (except for the green aura around them they look pretty normal looking in appearance) They are one with nature and have many abilities including them. They can become plants, move though them, and summon them/grow them. They give life to the ancient Kurusara forest and are the spirit that keeps it thriving, Just being in the presence of a nymph will make you feel at ease and happy (a lot like the angels though I didn’t mention that directly above) Hikachiru was said to settle them in the forest to protect it for all time.
Demon~Region-Ganeshen mountains (reserved)
Okay, as you might have guessed the race of demon is so wide that I am sure that there are at least 100 different things it could describe. But ahead is what I am expecting from whoever will sign up as it. Most of the demons of the Ganeshen Mountains are those that look human-isque but usually have a demon form. Of course they also have something that sets them apart in the more ‘human’ form (body markings, fangs, horns, etc.) But most have the ability to be amazingly attractive to the opposite gender. (At least the ones I’m talking about XD) the range of demon’s powers is so wide that whoever takes it one will have to do it according to what their demon form is and stuff. This is rather a vague concept but you should be able to accomplish it at some point.
±±±
Allright! Finally we make it to the signups! There are 2 different kinds obviously so choose carefully!

Appearance:Your guardian’s appearance. No one actually sees them except your character in their mind occasionally. But still, I’m sure we’d all like this info for reference.
Weapon: What is the guardian’s weapon? I admit I am a little picky on this. I need the name of weapon and a description of what it looks like, not just “a sword with a silver handle” more like “a Japanese sword with writing engraved into it and a silver handle with metal vines running along it called moon dancer”
History: Knowing what you have learned about Nacrealis please put a history here. It should somehow tie in to Hikachiru and them joining the guardians at some point.

±±±
And finally, my sign-up…
Guardian:
Name: Illusen Glade
Gender: Female
Race: Demon
Region: Yurkoro Desert
Appearance: Illusen stands at around 5”7, her outward appearance is close enough to a normal human. Her hair is a dark gold and goes down a little lower then her shoulders in very distinctive layers. Her eyes are a fierce gold, full of spark and ambition. Her appearance is that of a 16-18 year old girl but her true age is one beyond that. The only real thing that sets her off from humans is one major factor, and that is a pair of large leathery black wings sprouting from her back, as well as a black serpentine tail. The skin inside the wings is very dark violet eventually changing to red at the bottom. She wears a Sleeveless almost bikini-style shirt (except for the part about having no sleeves… although I am sure some bikinis don’t…) She has sleeves but they are not actually a part of the bikini-like top. They are just very loose falling red sleeves. She also wears a pair of red low rise loose satin-like pants. The way they are styled is basically tight at the bottoms and tops but very loose and baggy in between. All the places that are tight are tied with a white belt (that differs in length for around the ankles) there are three of them around her waist however. She wears very simple style black shoes that are almost like moccasins how they hold fast yet allow her to run freely. Lastly, she wears a small diamond pendant on a silver chain around her neck, where it came from no one knows but it has a significant importance to Illusen.
Weapon: Sun and Moon Katars- Two legendary katars that are said to be forged from fragments of the powers of the sun and moon. The Sun katar has three jagged blades on it and the moon katar has two curved blades. Both have a distinctive cover that goes over the wrist almost like the top half of a gauntlet. There are straps coming from the cover that Illusen ties around to keep them tight to her wrists. On the cover of the sun katar there is a small ruby sun and on the moon katar there is a small sapphire moon.
History: Illusen was one of the demons that lived in the Ganeshen mountains, except she was a criminal. She was accused for the murder of 4 people. To escape the bounty hunters that seemed to follow her everywhere she fled to within the Ganeshen mountains, she left to seek safety elsewhere. She found herself in the Yurkoro desert, where she joined a pack of bandits on raids throughout the desert. But after almost a year in the desert the bounty hunters from the mountains found her and were after her again. In an epic battle between the hunters and the bandits, she was the only one to escape with their life. She at last fled to the Center of Nacrealis, and to the tower of Nacrealis. The hunters, still on her tail at last succeeded in catching the exhausted girl and decided to bring her to Hikachiru for the proper punishment. But upon seeing her, Hikachiru spared her. Feeling she was in debt to her, Illusen turned her life around and became one of her guardians, as well as the reigning guardian of the Yurkoro desert that she had become attached to.
Other: *slits others neck * die!
Wielder:
Name: Jennifer Sohma
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Personality: Despite what has happened throughout her life, Jennifer still finds a way to stay open with people. She likes to be around others, but she still likes to have her own space once in awhile. She tends to say whatever is on her mind, even if it hurts those around her. She can sometimes be a little headstrong and hotheaded, but when concentration is needed she is always there to keep focused and clear headed. She can sometimes be a bit of a comic relief, when she needs to be, but when she isn’t she can be very serious. And at the same time she can be deep and passionate. She is simple yet complex at the same time, but no matter what she is feeling she strives to do her best and rise above the rest.
Appearance: Jennifer is around 5”5, slightly tanned and decently athletic (not like a bodybuilder or anything). Her hair is a wavy and silky golden-brown, layered down to her chin. Her eyes are light amber that always seem to be in deep thought. She wears a dark tan sleeveless shirt with faded images of horses and flowers in it and on the back. She wears a form-fitting pair of dark blue jeans and a simple pair of tennis shoes. She wears quite a peculiar necklace, it is a metal pendant designed like fish bones on a black string necklace.
Altered Appearance: Her clothes change to those of Illusen, her eyes change to a more fierce and fiery amber, as well as her skin becoming a bit more tanned. Her hair has more of a golden color to it and longer, though she wears it different then Illusen did. It is in a ponytail with her bangs hanging down and a red headband. She also has the same wings as Illusen, only the purple is a bit lighter and the red has more of an orange tint in it. She also has the serpentine tail. Her necklace is somewhat of a mixture of hers and Illusen’s, It is the fishbone pendant with traces of diamond outlining it on a silver chain.
Guardian: Illusen Glade
Guardian Weapon: Sun and Moon Katars
Weapon abilities: The Sun and Moon Katars give the ability of flight and different powers depending on if it is night or day. When it is day, the Sun Katar enables the ability to channel the sun’s rays into power, increasing strength and Speed. When it is night, the Moon Katar enables the ability to channel the moon’s rays into magic, increasing the senses and allowing the creation of magical barriers.
Ally: Reserved
History: Jennifer’s life was worse then she leads people to believe. Her parents divorced when she was young, so she lived with her mother most of the time. Although her mom is nice she sometimes shouted at her and her younger brother. But she eventually learned to deal with it, and thought that maybe she needed to be there for her mother to take her stress out on. Ever since she was little the other kids would leave her out of things. But she never really thought anything of it because she was so young she didn’t understand. Even when her mom moved after she got divorced she was still looked at as someone you couldn’t connect with, because all the people in the school she went to were friends from childhood. And she didn’t feel that she could take away something so precious to people. Despite everything that happened to her, she is still tries to stay optimistic and considers herself so lucky for everything she has.
Relations: Well I can’t really have relations with people until there are signups XD OPEN
Other:Ack! It returns! *burns other alive *
All right, one more note that just because I made my guardian a demon doesn’t mean that no one else can. But more specifically if someone did I would appreciate it being the guardian of the Ganeshen mountains. So a guardian CAN be a race from another region of Nacrealis if they want. If not then this message doesn’t really apply to you ^_^; and for the reservations, I know it took me a really long time to start this so I will give them a couple days to sign up before withdrawing them.
Okay enough of my rambling. Let signing up commence!
±sign-up topic±
At last the sign up topic has arisen! Here is where all that wish to join shall sign up! Note to all that this is M for mature because of occasional violence, language, and blood. So remember that I warned all the younger set before hand!
Now on to the plot (note to all those who saw this in the yes or no topic, I added the rest so you might want to read it over so you know everything there is to offer, or at the very least skim it for the new things and fully read the last part)
±±±
Nacrealis, what one could only describe as a world of fantasy. It is nothing less then the entire being of all magic, dreams, and imagination. All existence in Nacrealis revolves around a tower suspended in the middle of all space, a space that can neither be lost nor understood. All life has sprouted from the single seed that grew tall and strong, forming the living tower of Nacrealis and it holds together the fibers of the entire world. The tower of Nacrealis, and Nacrealis itself are the essence of the mind, and that is why the world is held together by the prayers of priestess Hikachiru, her prayers are the light penetrating the darkness of the void and bringing together the essences of life. This world is a mirror image of the world's dreams and fantasies. It is a world in which everyone exists; it is where our spirits thrive.
But the only knowledge of this world is surpassed as
Dreams, no one truly comprehends the base of the entire world in which they exist. Because the only time they are within Nacrealis in mind, is when they are asleep, more specifically dreaming. The world, in which we all exist, is only a shadow of Nacrealis as so many worlds are. And all humanity does not realize it. It is a sad but true fact, that all life forms go about living only shadows of what they are truly capable of. This is mainly because their mind has shut out the idea that such life could ever exist, and in turn it has made them only aware of their short lived lives in their own little world. But there are some humans in extremely rare circumstances that are born and raised away from the walls that chain them to a normal life. Though they may not realize it, they exist between worlds, seeing beyond what others care to. And even though this sixth sense goes by without any concern, those who have it are about to experience something that no human before them could have ever imagined...

Deep within the tower of Nacrealis...
"M'Lord,"A ragged demon says bowing in front of the figure standing in the shadows, "our forces have nearly completely overtaken the Tower. The only section which has not yet been overtaken is the top where the priestess blocks our attempts to advance."
"Order them to draw back, I intend to handle her myself," The dark figure says calmly stepping forward causing the demon to step to the side.
"But master, isn't it risky? The priestess can call down all the powers of Nacrealis at any time! Not even you may be able to compete with that!" Shouted the demon after the figure draped in black.
The tall figure stops but doesn't turn to answer, instead casually replying over his shoulder,"I know what I am dealing with. Never question my authority."
"Oh...u-uh I a-am s-s-sorry I d-didn't mean it like that p-please have mercy!" The creature says falling to its knees, black beads of sweat trickle down it's wrinkled brow.
"Fool," The figure says quickly disappearing up the staircase, leaving the bewildered creature there on his knees. A sign of relief crosses his face. But not a second after it twists into a broken scream as the limp torso below it dissolves away in a flash of light. The head continues to scream, ruby blood collecting in a puddle on the floor where it had rolled before it dissolves into the air like smoke. The other demonic creatures that had been standing along the walls of the earthen room recoiled back to the wall in fear. It was not long before the waves of demons within the tower withdrew to the base while the dark caped figure continued up the spiral staircases formed from gnarled fines twisted together like a rope bridge.
As the figure continues to walk up the staircase, the vines reacted in less than a hundredth of a second, recoiling into the walls and leaving him to fall to the floor. But he stands on thin air, a small dark barrier under his feet, "Now now Hikachiru, you didn't think you could get rid of me that easily?" he chuckled lowly and continued walking up, each footstep creating a dark step that disappeared as he left it.
As his escapade went on, the walls around him began to close in. He merely smiled as they locked around him. After a few minutes of silence between the closed walls the growing intensity of a high pitched whine pierced through the walls, and they dissolved away much as the demon assistant had moment before.
"You really shouldn't waste your energy Hikachiru, these feeble attempts to dispose of me are growing less and less amusing." He said grinning. Now the barrier under his feet moved upward like an elevator. The ashen walls of the stairs remained earthly silent, and the only sound was that off the dark figure's fluttering cape as the barrier neared the top of the tower. It stopped suddenly and the man stepped off onto the highest reaches of the tower, the wind blowing his long night black hair gently as if tugging him away from his goal. He glanced toward the center of the tower were a large growth of branches created a barren canopy of dark leaves. Within the overgrown branches a woman hung, intertwined with the vines and part of the branches. Her long silver hair coiled through the branches, and her lucid skin shone like moonlight. Though she did not move as the figure approached, the branches from which she hung tightened around her as if bracing itself against the shadow.
"Ah priestess, it has been so long since we have been together." He said slyly, bringing his fingers along her cheek. "And look at what you have become, you left me for eternity in the void. You took my rule and destroyed my forces with your five sacred guardians. But you never expected me to return for these last thousand years have you?" He brought the finger down her neck, his sharp nail just grazing the skin.
"you...your darkness was not meant for the world...it was not meant for any world, Cierres!" Hikachiru shouted at him suddenly as if snapping out of a trance, her crystal blue eyes glared at him with pure hatred and he merely snickered. And as quickly as she had snapped to attention light poured from around her, Cierres almost wasn't able to react to the ferocity and quickness of her aggression by creating a dark barrier around him. The force pushed him back to the end of the tower, "Your intentions were those derived from darkness, you are not the one to rule Nacrealis!" The branches lowered Hikachiru to the ground, her long white robe sprawled out behind her and her hair blew out behind her like beams of sunlight.
"Hikachiru, your soft heart is your ultimate weakness. If you hadn't banished me with the help of your pathetic guardians, you could have had power beyond your imagination, you could have ruled as my queen, a rule to destroy the weak and make all bow down to my force. But you instead wanted freedom and light, so you hurtled me into darkness where you thought I would never return. But what you don't understand is that I have already won," Cierres shouted, a violent storm of black wind poured towards Hikachiru. She gasped and recoiled back, bracing herself for the black blast. But light burst forth and held back the torrent of black. Five figures, the five guardians of the tower of Nacrealis and of Hikachiru stood creating a wall of light. They stood strong against the darkness that threatened to swallow the priestess.
"Hikachiru! We can not hold him for long!" They cried, "There is no way for us to save Nacrealis, it is our sworn duty to protect you and the people for all eternity. Before we are broken you must... engrave our souls into our weapons and send them to the only world left that has not been invaded by Cierres's forces!"
"I will never do that!" Shouted Hikachiru over the growing intensity of the black winds;"I could never sacrifice you! No matter what happened!"
"Please Priestess! It is the last hope for Nacrealis! We would sacrifice anything! It is the only option!" They yelled, their blockade beginning to be forced back by the roaring black wave. Tears clung to the eyes of Hikachiru, the five guardians looked to her in sympathy, "please priestess Hikachiru, we wish only to save Nacrealis, it is our sacrifice to protect all who live within the worlds, and will ever live there. Please Priestess do it now!"
Hikachiru eyes were flooded by tears, her heart grew heavy as the barrier was pushed closer and closer to her, small threads of black began to drain into the flickering light. She knew what she had to do.
"NOW DIE!" Shouted Cierres pushing forth one huge burst of energy. But the energy disintegrated, The five guardians of Nacrealis stood in a ring, their bodies were enshrouded in an otherworldly light that had come unto them from the broken hearted Hikachiru. Their bodies fell to the ground as their spirits were engraved into their weapons. The weapons pulsated with energy before disappearing into the sky and then out of Nacrealis. The lights faded and the bodies of the guardians disappeared. Hikachiru stood drained of her energy, sagging as she struggled to remain on her feet.Cierres laughed loudly and walked towards her.
"I will admit that the engraving of the guardian’s souls into their weapons may have sounded like a good last attempt to survive, but you see. Almost every thread of worlds is under my control, wherever they do end up getting to there is little chance that their successor’s will survive." He chuckled lowly bringing the limp face of the priestess eye to eye with him.
"This may be true, but one world still remains free of any signs of your foul play." She gasped, managing a slight smile.
"You mean the human world?" He said staring at her in disbelief, followed by laughter,"There is no one there capable of having such energy passed on to them. Humans have long left their power inaccessible, becoming weak and stupid rather then the strong force they once were. They were not even worth my time you see? That is why I didn't bother to take control of them! The weapons will end up nowhere and the little strength that the guardians did muster will be wasted!" He threw back his head and laughed again, the priestess only glared at him, she knew through her prayers that he was right, she had tried to reach those from the human race and it was true that they were beyond her reach in their greed and stupidity. But also, she had found a small trickle of a few that were past the evils of those around them. They were the only hope for Nacrealis and the entire being of humanity.
"Now we must be going back to my palace. I have many plans for you priestess;"Cierres laughed again. A pitch black horse with fiery wings landed at his side, pulling the priestess with him he got on it and took off towards the forsaken lands at the farthest dark regions of Nacrealis. Unbeknownst to him, the priestess prayed harder then ever before, prayers going out to the inhabitants of Nacrealis, but stronger then any other to the few on Earth who were closest in contact with the lights of Nacrealis. And her prayers would not go unanswered...
±±±
What happened on the Earth not a split moment from that very time (or as close as time can be measured between the whole of Nacrealis and the Human's world) the five power endowed weapons made their arrival to Earth. They searched relentlessly over the lands for any human that was not fully consumed by those around them. But even though they searched with the utmost intensity for the vibrations of Nacrealis, it was a search that could never come to an end. Because trying to find the one small vibration coming from a school of millions was like finding one particular grain of sand on a beach. This had been what Hikachiru had feared, and so she prayed with every strand of her power remaining to send the message to anyone, a message that was so intense that the entire span of all worlds would have been able to receive it, had it not been focused with ever drop of concentration towards the Earth. And at last it was heard, in the form of a dream in the minds of the sacred five, the only ones on the planet who could hear it...
"Please... Hear me... You must... Must save Nacrealis... From Cierres. You must take the weapons that has been engraved... With the souls of the guardian’s sacrifice...They made the ultimate sacrifice... To save... Everyone... Please... Please save Nacrealis, save all the worlds...You are our last chance...Please," The flickering image of Priestess Hikachiru said in the dreams of the five that would have to wield the weapons engraved with powers from the life force of the five guardians. And then in their dream they went through the barriers of Nacrealis, through a barrier to receive the weapon destined to them. And grabbing hold of it, they would awaken.
The weapon, which they were destined to, would be there with them. Upon touching it they received powers that only they as wielders could possess. And even though Cierres would not admit it, he knew that the passing on of the powers of the five great guardians was endangering him more then the five before. Because upon passing their lives to the five humans, they had given more then just their abilities. They had given their life force, and their soul. With it, a human relearning its capabilities would become amazingly powerful. And knowing this he sent forth-small bands of his forces to Earth to destroy the five humans before they had a chance to gain any power. They might have the five guardian’s powers but they would not be able to wield it or defeat his minions now, and once they were gone there would be no force left anywhere to defeat him.
The only chance the humans had now was something he didn't consider. And that was the five guardians, because even though they now no longer existed except as weapons, the five wielders were not fully alone once they held them. Though the guardians could not contact them through words, they could guide the weapons, and it was the only way the humans would stand a chance...
±±±
Even though there were only 5 weapons that were endowed upon those humans who were gifted enough to receive them, there were still a few others in that world that Hikachiru found a small thread to grasp them. And Hikachiru knew that they to were those that were destined to help them. But even with the finding of these others, there was still a lacking of weapons that had gone to the five who had received them and they would not have the power to defeat the evil dawning on them. But she knew more ways then one to help those she could reach.
Because the five guardians of the tower of Nacrealis were not the only power that she had left after Cierres’s raid over the tower. After all, the priestess was the greatest power in all Nacrealis and so she knew what she could do to give the power to strike down darkness to the five humans who would not get a weapon. She let go parts of her own soul, of the very power that she used to rule the different regions of Nacrealis. She let go of five sections of herself, one for each region that she had so long protected. Each one had the slightest essence of a reigning race’s soul. And Hikachiru hoped that this small shard of power could help them, the essence would help them find one of the weapon-wielding humans. It would help them find the one that the guardian had reigned over.
And she sent out these five essences, leaving her empty inside, the world could not live if she hadn’t. She knew, and so she would make a sacrifice to, like the five she had loved, who had sacrificed their lives. She gave parts of herself.
Now as the fiery horse rose farther into the sky, Hikachiru felt her connections with the world fading. She had given them away, in hopes that she could save her world. Whether any of the five other humans she had targeted got the essences she did not know, just like she did not know if any of the weapons did. But in her heart, she knew that somehow they would receive it. They would come and save Nacrealis, they would be the ones to save the world…

Now, to begin the five regions of Nacrealis. It is important you check these out because every guardian reigns over one of the five regions. As well as every race (referring to the empowered allies) lives specifically concentrated in one region. So if you are being one of the empowered allies then the region you pick’s reigning specie will become that which is passed on to you. ANYWAY…
But before you read I will explain one big factor in the regions. And that is the Pogyo. Pogyos are large bird creatures that are incapable flight, but most are capable of very fast running. Their plumage comes in a wide variety, and almost every region is full of them. (for example of what a Pogyo looks like think chocobos from FF but more chicken-like)
Furi-gari Plains~Guardian-Mandaar Omagi~Reigning race-lycanthropes (Nightblaze)
The Furi-gari plains are a vast valley of fields and grasses with occasional small clusters of trees, as well as some lakes and rivers. Many of the lycanthropes from across Nacrealis migrated here. In legend it says that Hikachiru set them free from a dark force and put them there to run free across the plains. Most of the towns are sprouted alongside the lakes, but that doesn’t mean they all are, Since the plains are so vast, most travelers use Pogyos or commonly known as the ‘Furi fowl’ in the Furi-gari plains. The Pogyo of the plain’s plumage is usually a mixture of creams and grays though they have been known to come in a variety of colors. Pogyos are quite common on the fruitful plains and most are friendly and willing to give anyone a ride to wherever they may want to go. The tall Ganeshen Mountains on one side and the Kurusara forest on another border the plains. And of course the tower of Nacrealis in the middle of the borders.
Yurkoro Desert~Gaurdian-Illusen Glade~Reigning race-Kitsune (Sheila Rae)
The Yurkoro Desert is a long and scorching desert. The legend of the desert is that when Hikachiru was creating the mountains, some of the purest concentration of the soil broke from it and it was what sprouted the desert. It is how they explain why the sand is so pure and golden. There is not much forests or water. But there is the occasional oasis, most, of which cities are built around, using it as their life source. The Kitsune race thrives here because of its ability to adapt. Like almost any desert, there are bandits. And as most places, Pogyo are used to get around. The Pogyo of the desert are commonly golden or dusty brown, the temperament of them is feisty, its is hard to tame wild ones so it is more common to rent them from stables. The desert is bordered by the Ganeshen Mountains and breaks of on the other end at the beaches of the Umi-garasu Sea. (And of course connected to the tower of Nacrealis in the center of the border)
Umi-garasu sea~Guardian-reserved~Reigning race-Angel (open)
The Umi-garasu Sea spreads it’s clean and clear crystal waters throughout the land of Nacrealis. Despite the fact that all waters in other regions came from the sea, it is at it’s purest there. It is even said that it has magical propitious. It is a place that fallen angels live in the most concentration and that could be the reason the water has strange properties. The angels are said to inhabit there because they are like tears from Hikachiru. And it is said that her tears make up the sea. There are many islands on the sea where settlements are. And it is the only place in Nacrealis that does not have Pogyos. Flightless races that inhabit the sea usually travel in boats. Angels simply fly. Its beaches become the Yurkoro desert and the rivers through the Kurusara forest. And as always the middle border is connected to the tower of nacrealis’s beaches.
Kurusara forest~Gaurdian-Merrow Shirata~Reigning race-Forest nymph (Psychic_Suzanne)
Kurusara forest is said to have some of the oldest trees in all of Nacrealis. It is even said that from a tree Hikachiru was born, and from the seed of the wilted tree grew the tower of Nacrealis with all the power the tree had absorbed from Nacrealis itself. Forest nymphs, the maidens who are one with nature thrive throughout the treetops. They’re powers come from the trees themselves. Most towns are built in the treetops. The Pogyo of the Kurusara forest are usually shades of dark grey or very faint green. They are very gentle, but extremely shy and rare to see. The forest holds many mysteries within it’s ancient canopies. IT is bordered by the Umi-garasu Sea and the Furi-gari plains. And as always, the center border is that of the tower of Nacrealis. The forest is also the closest region to the tower.
Ganeshen mountains~Gaurdian-reserved~Reigning race-Demon (reserved)
The Ganeshen Mountains have stood as a protective border for Nacrealis for as long as any of its inhabitants can remember. They represent the power of Nacrealis. They are the main pathways from anywhere into Nacrealis (although there are some other ways in) Probably one of the only races in the whole of the mountains is demons, of all sorts. Those that appear as human or have slight traits that set them apart, as well as monsters. The mountains have many villages of demons. Many of the inhabitants of Nacrealis recognize these towns as ‘the army of Nacrealis’ because the demons are very powerful and keep out intruders in the mountains. The Pogyo of the Ganeshen Mountains are the only Pogyo in Nacrealis that have flight capabilities, although they don’t necessarily fly. But they can glide from high mountains to the next making them essential in travel. The mountains Pogyo are black or tan and are distrusting but very loyal. The mountains are the borders on the Furi-gari plains and the Yurkoro desert. (And obviously the tower of Nacrealis)
Next up is more in-depth info on the races that are for the empowered allies. Note for the allies-whatever region’s guardian they reside in is the one that they are ‘joining up’ with. And being empowered basically does mean you become that race.
Lycanthropes~Region-Furi-gari plains (Nightblaze)
Although I have heard a lot of different descriptions of Lycanthropes I am sticking with this kind for this RPG, wether it is wrong or not oh well. The Lycanthropes of Nacrealis were said to be created as watchdogs in the Ganeshen Mountains. That was until Hikachiru set them free in the Furi-gari plains. The Lycanthrope is basically a human-isque figure with wolven traits. (Tail, ears, fur, etc.) They are very agile, athletic, and fast. Some are even said to run so fast you can’t see them. The Lycanthropes fight using their sharp claws and teeth and are quite the worthy opponents.
Kitsune~Region-Yurkoro desert (reserved)
Like the Lycanthrope I have heard many descriptions of Kitsune. I am leaving this one a bit vaguer but whatever. The Kitsune is basically the materialization of a fox into a human-isque for (much like lycanthropes and wolves). They have fox traits (tails(s), ears, fur, etc.) They are also quite agile and fast. But kitsunes aren’t quite as strong and not such good fighters. They do however make up for that with their use of magic. Some have control of earth, and some have basic spiritual attack (beams, shields, yeah…), They live in the desert because of their ability to adapt.
Angels~Region-Umi-garasu sea (OPEN)
The angels of the Umi-garasu sea are those who fell from the sky where Hikachiru put them to watch over Nacrealis. They go to the sea because they can watch over those at sea and it is the only place they feel they have a connection with Hikachiru. The only difference between them and the normal angels (besides huge difference in power) is probably in the wings. The fallen angel’s wings are smaller and streaked with grey. However they are still able to fly with these wings. They have great-untapped powers. But until they reach them they are best at healing and spreading light around them. (And their ability to fly makes them able to travel well)
Forest nymph~Region-Kurusara forest (Psychic_Suzanne)
The forest nymphs take the form of beautiful maidens (except for the green aura around them they look pretty normal looking in appearance) They are one with nature and have many abilities including them. They can become plants, move though them, and summon them/grow them. They give life to the ancient Kurusara forest and are the spirit that keeps it thriving, Just being in the presence of a nymph will make you feel at ease and happy (a lot like the angels though I didn’t mention that directly above) Hikachiru was said to settle them in the forest to protect it for all time.
Demon~Region-Ganeshen mountains (reserved)
Okay, as you might have guessed the race of demon is so wide that I am sure that there are at least 100 different things it could describe. But ahead is what I am expecting from whoever will sign up as it. Most of the demons of the Ganeshen Mountains are those that look human-isque but usually have a demon form. Of course they also have something that sets them apart in the more ‘human’ form (body markings, fangs, horns, etc.) But most have the ability to be amazingly attractive to the opposite gender. (At least the ones I’m talking about XD) the range of demon’s powers is so wide that whoever takes it one will have to do it according to what their demon form is and stuff. This is rather a vague concept but you should be able to accomplish it at some point.
±±±
Allright! Finally we make it to the signups! There are 2 different kinds obviously so choose carefully!
Weapon Holders sign-up sheets-
Guardian:
Name: Your guardian’s name. Please something at least a little special. I don’t want any Bob’s or Sarah’s here.
Gender:No both unless the race has something to do with it
Race: This can be almost anything you want. It doesn’t HAVE to be the race of their region unless you want it to be that.
Region: What region does your guardian protect? Be sure to check that it isn’t taken already!
Appearance:Your guardian’s appearance. No one actually sees them except your character in their mind occasionally. But still, I’m sure we’d all like this info for reference.
Weapon: What is the guardian’s weapon? I admit I am a little picky on this. I need the name of weapon and a description of what it looks like, not just “a sword with a silver handle” more like “a Japanese sword with writing engraved into it and a silver handle with metal vines running along it called moon dancer”
History: Knowing what you have learned about Nacrealis please put a history here. It should somehow tie in to Hikachiru and them joining the guardians at some point.
Other: other…stuff

Gender: Female or male, it’s that simple

Appearance:Your character’s normal appearance. Whenever they hold the weapon their appearance changes a little. This is what they look normally,

±±±
And finally, my sign-up…
Guardian:
Name: Illusen Glade
Gender: Female
Race: Demon
Region: Yurkoro Desert
Appearance: Illusen stands at around 5”7, her outward appearance is close enough to a normal human. Her hair is a dark gold and goes down a little lower then her shoulders in very distinctive layers. Her eyes are a fierce gold, full of spark and ambition. Her appearance is that of a 16-18 year old girl but her true age is one beyond that. The only real thing that sets her off from humans is one major factor, and that is a pair of large leathery black wings sprouting from her back, as well as a black serpentine tail. The skin inside the wings is very dark violet eventually changing to red at the bottom. She wears a Sleeveless almost bikini-style shirt (except for the part about having no sleeves… although I am sure some bikinis don’t…) She has sleeves but they are not actually a part of the bikini-like top. They are just very loose falling red sleeves. She also wears a pair of red low rise loose satin-like pants. The way they are styled is basically tight at the bottoms and tops but very loose and baggy in between. All the places that are tight are tied with a white belt (that differs in length for around the ankles) there are three of them around her waist however. She wears very simple style black shoes that are almost like moccasins how they hold fast yet allow her to run freely. Lastly, she wears a small diamond pendant on a silver chain around her neck, where it came from no one knows but it has a significant importance to Illusen.
Weapon: Sun and Moon Katars- Two legendary katars that are said to be forged from fragments of the powers of the sun and moon. The Sun katar has three jagged blades on it and the moon katar has two curved blades. Both have a distinctive cover that goes over the wrist almost like the top half of a gauntlet. There are straps coming from the cover that Illusen ties around to keep them tight to her wrists. On the cover of the sun katar there is a small ruby sun and on the moon katar there is a small sapphire moon.
History: Illusen was one of the demons that lived in the Ganeshen mountains, except she was a criminal. She was accused for the murder of 4 people. To escape the bounty hunters that seemed to follow her everywhere she fled to within the Ganeshen mountains, she left to seek safety elsewhere. She found herself in the Yurkoro desert, where she joined a pack of bandits on raids throughout the desert. But after almost a year in the desert the bounty hunters from the mountains found her and were after her again. In an epic battle between the hunters and the bandits, she was the only one to escape with their life. She at last fled to the Center of Nacrealis, and to the tower of Nacrealis. The hunters, still on her tail at last succeeded in catching the exhausted girl and decided to bring her to Hikachiru for the proper punishment. But upon seeing her, Hikachiru spared her. Feeling she was in debt to her, Illusen turned her life around and became one of her guardians, as well as the reigning guardian of the Yurkoro desert that she had become attached to.

Wielder:
Name: Jennifer Sohma
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Personality: Despite what has happened throughout her life, Jennifer still finds a way to stay open with people. She likes to be around others, but she still likes to have her own space once in awhile. She tends to say whatever is on her mind, even if it hurts those around her. She can sometimes be a little headstrong and hotheaded, but when concentration is needed she is always there to keep focused and clear headed. She can sometimes be a bit of a comic relief, when she needs to be, but when she isn’t she can be very serious. And at the same time she can be deep and passionate. She is simple yet complex at the same time, but no matter what she is feeling she strives to do her best and rise above the rest.
Appearance: Jennifer is around 5”5, slightly tanned and decently athletic (not like a bodybuilder or anything). Her hair is a wavy and silky golden-brown, layered down to her chin. Her eyes are light amber that always seem to be in deep thought. She wears a dark tan sleeveless shirt with faded images of horses and flowers in it and on the back. She wears a form-fitting pair of dark blue jeans and a simple pair of tennis shoes. She wears quite a peculiar necklace, it is a metal pendant designed like fish bones on a black string necklace.
Altered Appearance: Her clothes change to those of Illusen, her eyes change to a more fierce and fiery amber, as well as her skin becoming a bit more tanned. Her hair has more of a golden color to it and longer, though she wears it different then Illusen did. It is in a ponytail with her bangs hanging down and a red headband. She also has the same wings as Illusen, only the purple is a bit lighter and the red has more of an orange tint in it. She also has the serpentine tail. Her necklace is somewhat of a mixture of hers and Illusen’s, It is the fishbone pendant with traces of diamond outlining it on a silver chain.

Ally: Reserved
History: Jennifer’s life was worse then she leads people to believe. Her parents divorced when she was young, so she lived with her mother most of the time. Although her mom is nice she sometimes shouted at her and her younger brother. But she eventually learned to deal with it, and thought that maybe she needed to be there for her mother to take her stress out on. Ever since she was little the other kids would leave her out of things. But she never really thought anything of it because she was so young she didn’t understand. Even when her mom moved after she got divorced she was still looked at as someone you couldn’t connect with, because all the people in the school she went to were friends from childhood. And she didn’t feel that she could take away something so precious to people. Despite everything that happened to her, she is still tries to stay optimistic and considers herself so lucky for everything she has.
Relations: Well I can’t really have relations with people until there are signups XD OPEN
Other:Ack! It returns! *burns other alive *
All right, one more note that just because I made my guardian a demon doesn’t mean that no one else can. But more specifically if someone did I would appreciate it being the guardian of the Ganeshen mountains. So a guardian CAN be a race from another region of Nacrealis if they want. If not then this message doesn’t really apply to you ^_^; and for the reservations, I know it took me a really long time to start this so I will give them a couple days to sign up before withdrawing them.
Okay enough of my rambling. Let signing up commence!
