Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright, now that everyone has chosen their characters, I'll tell you the landscape. Oh, and I'm assuming none of your characters will be coming, pancakes, since you didn't tell me if they were or not. But, if I'm wrong, then tell me, and we can get your characters in right now, or I can work something out later.

Anyway, lanscape time.
The entire place is basically one giant circle/square thing.
North: In the north, we have a mountainous region. However, within that mountainous region, lies a tree of life. The tree is exactly what its name implies, but I'll go into that later.
Northeast: East of that (the northeast part of the map) lies the Kingdom of Arelia. It is a kingdom of peace. This is where one of my new characters will be. You will find out more about this place as the RP deepens as well. There is also a beautiful area of snowy mountains behind the place.
East: Here, we have a lovely little lake. It has a small river travelling from there to another small lake connecting it to another lake just beside the forest mentioned below.
Southeast/South: Then, stretching from the southeast part of the map to the south part of the map is the Forest of Respite. (the name is subject to change, if I ever decide on a good name for it.) This is basically a refuge for those unable to pay for living expenses and such. (In short, those who ran to avoid taxes.) Once again, there is a small lake right beside it.
Southwest: This is where Guardian Village is placed. The people in this village protect a cave. The entire village encases the cave. However, it is not to keep the cave safe, but the people outside. The Cave of Death didn't get that title for show. More about the cave will be explained as the RP goes on.
West: Ah yes, this here is the exact opposite of Arelia. For this is the Kingdom of Dagnus. This is where another of my characters will be introduced. Dagnus is a Kingdom of war.
Northwest: And, finally, we have the barren wastland called The Zaltuthe Ruins. Most cannot survive here. However, there are a select few that can withstand the blistering hot temperatures. These people are the Targnites. They guard an oasis. However, it is not any ordinary oasis. More shall be explained about this later, as well.
Center: What's this? Yet another region to describe? Yes, the final region-- and the region of which the plot will be centered around. In the very center of Salin is the overlord kindgom of Telrathos. This is the place people run from. This is where you die if you disobey. This is where creulty is defined. Here, you are either useful to the overlord of Saln, or you are a pathetic worm, living on the streets of nothingness. More will be explained later, but should you choose to have your character land here, prepare for them to be captured and take to the Castle of Telroth. (Conviently located in the exact center of Salin.)


Now that the lanscape has been described to you, you can go ahead and choose where you want your characters to wake up at. However, I would not suggest you place your character in the Zaltuthe Ruins, or in the mountains region in the north. Anywhere else is fine. Just expect harsh treatment toward your character, depending on where you send him/her.
Ex: Sending your character to Guardian Village will result in some intimidating threats, him/her being kicked out depending on their attitude, etc.

P.S. Most of my characters will be located in the field, just above the forest.

P.S.S. I'm going to post a second one right after this, telling where all of my characters are at.

Josline cringed when she started to wake, she blinked her eyes open when she started to wake up. She felt like she had been lying on the ground forever and had terrible back ache. She sat up and looked around at her surroundings. She noted that she was in a forest the sun shining down on her, but it didn't look like the lost woods back in Hyrule, seeing as the sun was shining through the branches. She stood up looking around wondering where she was. "... Well, I know one thing, I have to find Kaze... I hope he's okay..." she murmured to herself, wondering how to get out of the forest.

Diness woke up after a while she blinked when she looked around noticing she was no longer in Swerth, or even in Count Rugen's castle as she looked around. She had been lying down on a bed as well as she sat up. She had no idea where she was, but when she saw outside and noticed it was snowing outside. She looked like it was a snowing, something that you wouldn't see in a tropical area like Swerth.

Silver blinked her eyes open when she looked around seeing herself in a forest as well. Her ears twitched when she heard voices and looked around. What was going on, last thing she remember was going to look for Arious and then being engulfed with black magic. "Arious?" She called out, but there was no answer, however the voice stopped when she called out. She heard footsteps around her, placing a hand to her hilt in case something attacked.

Opal blinked her eyes slowly as she noticed she was inside of a room as she saw a woman standing near her, telling her silently not to say anything. Opal looked confused when she looked outside seeing she was in a kingdom and looked around. "Where am I?" the little girl asked as the woman responded, Kingdom of Dagnus... Kingdom of War! This place didn't seem like a dream resort, besides she had to go find out where Vaati was. She looked over seeing another girl unconscious she knew from Hyrule, it was Ruiny... but what happened? How did everyone get separated?

Darian was walking around a forest, wondering where he was. Everything that happened before he woke up here was almost a blur. He had so many questions running through his mind as he looked around. "Well, let's try and find out where I am..." Darian said, spotting a lake as he walked up to it.

Alanna blinked her eyes when she felt herself waking up as she felt herself in some alley way of a kingdom. The sun started to shine down on them as she looked around. Seeing the depressing scenes of the streets as she slipped into the shadows to avoid a guard walking by.

(I'm sorry Dioji, I know you hate long post's, but you're going to see that a lot.)

Opal jumped in shock when he heard something in her shout, jumping off the bed. She glanced at her shadow, "Dark?" She said, looking the shadow up and down, noticing it moved. Her heart rammed up against her chest at the thought of Dark being here. Maybe the shadow could tell her where Vaati was. Or maybe he could help her find him.

"Yeah?" Dark mumbled from her shadow. At least he wasn't alone in this strange place. If anything, he could always hide in her shadow until he found out more about this place. He suddenly wished Arious or Darious was with him. Both of them were smart.

Arious opened his eyes slowly. His head was hurting but he knew it was probably from trying to fight off the foreign magic that attacked him. The only soothing thought to him right now was the fact that Silver and April were at least safe. When the man looked about him, he saw that he was not in Hyrule or him homeland. He was sure of that. But before he could investigate farther, he felt a sword at his back and someone reaching for his weapon. Arious spun, his sword still in his hand. His muscles screamed out in pain from the effort, but he could not let his enemy know he was weak. The man jumped back and order that he drop his weapon. Arious just looked at the man as if he was mad. "Tell me where I am..." he growled. He really didn't want to make enemies... But for now he just needed information. But the soldier simply called for reinforcements. Now surrounded by eight guards, Arious was running out of choices. He would have to use his already low supply of magic to ward them off. "Stay back.. I do not wish to harm you.." He warned them with a low voice. But they didn't listen they began to ambush him, trying to knock him out more than anything. Arious used the dull side of his to crack people across the back. He had no intention of killing anyone. But he was outnumbered greatly and being in his weak state, he was loosing... Finally he sent a wave of magic, blasting the men back. He fell to the ground, panting as he used his sword to keep himself up. His head felt as if it was going to explode from the pounding of his headache. He knew if he used magic again, he might pass out... But that wasn't necessary... As he wiped sweat from his eyes, someone managed to knock him out from behind. The guards immediately took his weapons and were whispering about the foreign power. They then dragged him off to the castle of Telrathos.

Rugen opened his eyes, totally aware that something was wrong. He was in a castle, but not one he was accustomed to. He looked out the window and saw a huge kingdom before him. It looked vaguely familiar... The layouts... the land... He had seen it somewhere. On a map! Could this be... but how did I get here? This makes no sense... The man racked his brain trying to think of the list of his nobles that were ambassadors. None came to mind as he cursed under his breath. But he did know one thing.. He knew that from the position of the sun, he was in the Dagnus kingdom. At least he knew that Elonacia were on somewhat peaceful terms with them. He actually met the King himself and his queen... But that was so long ago... Perhaps... there was a chance they remembered him. Helios had saved the girl's life after all...

Tris rubbed her eyes and sighed. She had a small headache, but that was to be expected after drinking that much. Her hands shook lightly as she did so. She had an odd feeling in her stomach that she was not liking at all. Something felt very odd... Looking up, she saw herself in a different place that she could never remember being in. She got up slowly, brushing off her dress. When she looked up, she was amazed to see a village around her and a big cave in the distance. She froze to her spot, seeing people come at her with weapons. She felt a small pang of fear grab at her. She immediately fell to the ground and opened her arms. "Please! I come in peace! I am very lost... I have no weapons... I just want to find a way back home..." She murmured, forcing a little bit of tears. Yes yes, she would indeed play the role of the helpless maiden. She was VERY lost and needed to gain information of where she was. The guards hesitated for only a second at her words. they still ran at her. She cowered and hid her head. She was a little bit worried, but not much. Should they actually try to kill her, she would fight back.. but for now, she must keep her hidden powers unknown to them. But they only pushed her down and bound her hands and and tied her feet together somewhat so she couldn't run, but still walk. The girl continued to sob, hoping that they men wouldn't notice that she was more curious than afraid of them. They led he away, speaking of some kind of trials...

Treize carefully picked his way through the forest. He was hardly excited about his mission. He had heard so much about the Terra Tribe's beautiful princess. The men of the Lunarian Tribe talked about her as being some kind of Celestial maiden, her beauty incomparable. He didn't care much about it. He had no choice in the matters. His leader had commanded him to this mission. He had no choice but to obey. His mission was simple... He was to find the leader of the tribe and propose his tribe's idea to end the war. He hated the war period. There was always constant fighting among the people. There had been a land dispute centuries ago between the founding leaders. Nowadays, you were brought up to hate the other tribe. Half of the people didn't even know WHY they were fighting the other tribe. About half of his tribe didn't even care for the war. He was one of them. But he usually kept to himself. But for now, he had a mission. He ran between the trees, his long midnight blue hair flowing behind him. It was almost black, but it shown blue in the moonlight. He was lean and tall. He had muscle, but he wasn't a body builder. He simply loved to run in his wolf form. He was nearing the border between the lands when he heard something. He immediately pulled out his poison darts from his pocket. It was possible that the noise could be an intruder from the Terra Tribe. He edged around the tree seeing a girl. The Lunarian crest was on his tunic and he wore it with pride. This girl didn't wear the traditional garb of an okami, but well enough she was one. He could smell the distinct scent in the air. He revealed himself. "You there... you are not of the Lunarian Tribe. What are you doing on this land? Are you a spy from the Terra tribe?" He made sure that his weapons were visible as to warn her not to make any sudden movements. "Stand slowly, and state your purpose.." he commanded. She didn't look too young.. Maybe her late teens...

Milliardo stood when suddenly he felt that energy explode behind him. He turned to see that Alanna had vanished. "What?! ALANNA!" he rushed to the spot feeling for whatever kind of energy it was. But he had never felt anything like it before. In his mind's eye' he felt several people with strong magic disappear. He knew one very well. "Tris..." he whispered, clenching his fists. Even if she was a pest, she was still his sister. He cursed and went off in search of someone who would know about foreign magic. He disappeared into the shadows in search of Darious.

Lisaya smiled at Shadow, but it son faded. She felt darkness hovering over the land. She gave him a small hug then whispered, "Do you... feel that?" She shivered. "It feels... so ominous..."

Vaati growled, he hated feeling so helpless. It didn't look like he had much of a choice but to cooperate with the stranger. They had an advantage after all, he knew where he was. At least the stranger addressed him as 'boy'. He couldn't count the times he was called a girl for his long, lavender coloured hair.

"Just for fun. We're bored." Saya mumbled as Seth spat his pacifier out of his mouth. He reached for his father again and Saya reluctantly passed him over to the other shadow. Seth would have a fit if he didn't get what he wanted.

Darious sighed and gathered his things to put them back. He would have to look for the little runt himself if he didn't want to come back. He was about to warp away when he noticed Miliardo close by. "What is it that you want?" He asked out loud, aware of the fact that Miliardo could probably hear him.
