Sakura Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 [COLOR=Navy]This is just an idea I've been messing with. I've decided to use Underground to check it and see what people think. [COLOR=SlateGrey][B]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/B][/COLOR] The World is only known as Arachaus... The World of Arachaus is a completely technological world where no, I mean NO magic at all exists except the extraordinary ability of the Psychics. The place is being corrupted and destroyed by a grand beast known as the Archetype a biologically organic metaloid beast that has all his spawn all over the place. The children of the Thing known as the Archetype are bizarre humans with reflection less eyes, and runic tattoos placed all about their form. They are well known to wear only wear over size long sleeved style shirts over their form. They are known to have icy shades of everyday colours such as pink, blue, green and so on. They are the willing servants to the Archetype and are emotionless vessels of its chaotic will. No one has ever seen the Archetype and has no idea what it truly is. Humans though exist in small numbers in large protected structures known as the Elysia. The Elysia are large structures that span about the size of ten foot ball fields over an area. They have several cell like rooms for each occupant and large centre garden rooms. Shops and markets litter the hall ways, and large computer system rooms are located in the large dome shaped room above the garden area. The room is filled with large chairs that have VR visors that are placed over the head of a Psychic unit. The Psychic units are continuously used to hack into the Archetype's main frame, and try and destroy his systems are halt them as long as possible. Though the attempts usually fail and result in the death of several Psi units. Another race upon the area is what is known as the Lai. The Lai are elementals in a sense of the old world though hardly any exist today thanks to the Archetype which has them destroyed on sight by its Children. The Lai represent the four elements- Air, Water, Earth and Fire. The Arch Lai though contains the ever watching and powerful element of Spirit. The Lai appear in visages of animals and humanoids that are sleek and even elven in appearance. The animals and coloration of their humanoid form correspond with their own element with everyday animals you know from Earth. Though on Arachaus there are hardly any animals left alive in the planet thanks to the Human expansion upon the world, and the expansion of the Archetypes children and his fear of the Lai themselves. The three races have three base class/job types for each of their areas. These job classes shall be briefly described in each section, and only one player of each class/job type will be accepted. [B]Archetype's Children[/B] [I]The Lyricists:[/I] They use the power of their voices to influence human emotions, and sing lovely songs that draw in humans. They are also known as Sirens. These Sirens though are sensitive to emotion and hold emotion unlike their sisters and brothers because they use it against their enemies. With a song they can inspire courage, fear, and great mourning within a single human being. Though they can prove effective upon the Lai also though to a much less degree. They are usual female though few have been reported to even be male, and some have become traitors to the Archetype because of their ability to feel. They are even used to sign as song called the Chaos Song that drives the Eons to fight with greater power. The traitors are usually killed using whatever drastic measures the Archetype would go to, to destroy them. [I]The Eons:[/I] The soldiers, and they are usually male. They use powerful guns ranging from wide variations of futuristic weaponry, and they can even use medieval style weapons such as katanas, swords, arrows, cross bows, and so on. They are relentless and having nothing more then chaos on their mind. They will never surrender, and they never at all feel emotion. It has been a rarity that a traitor to the Archetype appears in their ranks, and if one does they usually have fits of madness to the point they will destroy anything in their wake. [I]The Junips:[/I] These smaller ones are well scouts. They dart around and steal information from other sources. Usually they are small and shorter then their sisters and brothers, and can be a little nuisance on the battle field. They are powerful though with Psionics, and don't fret to use them if need be. There are rarely at all Traitors to the Archetype in this rank also, and if there are they usually have the habit of constantly snooping into ones business on a non-stop basis. [B]The Humans[/B] [I]Psychics:[/I] Usually they are trained and gifted in a wide variety of psychic gifts from pyrokenisis to telepathy even clairvoyance. They usually wear blue uniforms about the place, and have a circlet around their head to control their psychic abilities. Once it is removed though...they are completely unable to focus their abilities so they usually go bezerk. They are the main focus point of the whole battle against the Archetypes seeing their unique abilities are the only thing the Humans have to battle the Archetype itself. They though have a sort of semi-link to the Spirit Lai and so in which are sensitive when about the Lai usually the Circlet's power being negated by the presence of any Lai in an area of 10 yards. [I]Soldiers:[/I] Humans unlike the Archetype's Children have been reduced down to nothing more then the typical Medieval era style weapons. They though have made their weapons very finely using the Psychics abilities within the blades to induce special charms within it. The Soldiers are usually very mildly gifted in Psionics and rarely does it affect them to a harsh degree unlike the Psychics. They usually wear a bit of cybernetic armour though, and wear teal uniforms through the vicinity of the Elysia. [I]Medics:[/I] They are gifted within the healing varieties of the Psychic powers, and also have knowledge of Modern Medicine. They are usually a vital part of the system and have a great importance to the system of the Elysia and usually a Medic is a partner to a Psychic because of their usually raids on the Archetype's system. They are usually seen wearing grey uniforms about the place. They do not have any form of attack though and only have Psionics that can heal. [B]The Lai[/B] [I][U]Note:[/U] They do not have any classes, just elements[/I] [I]Fire:[/I] They are the fighters of the Lai and the bezerkers. In their animal form they are large wolves with flaming fire fur, and with a horn protruding from the centre of their head. Usually their eyes are of a black hue in this form. In humanoid form they have tanned skin, and red hair with the other normal elf like attributes. They also wear red, orange and yellow coloured robes in their humanoid form. [I]Water:[/I] They are the healers with their healing magicks they usually stay along bodies of water. They usually in their animal like form are large Sea Faring Serpents with draconic wings spanning forth from their back. They in their elf like form appear with blue or sea green hair, with blue eyes normally, and blue tinted skin. They wear very light blue robes in their elfen form. [I]Wind:[/I] They are the Scouts of their kind, and always in their animal form do they look like large birds. The birds have long necks like a swan?s and look as if pure white phoenixes in this form except their tails are like those of a sparrow?s. They in their humanoid form have large white wings, and usually dress in white robes. Their hair is a white colour or silver colour and hues of a sky blue or ice green. Their skin can be rather pale at times. [I]Earth:[/I] They in their animal forms appear as large brown cats with a horn protruding from their heads. They are the mediators and lawmakers of the Lai world, and have the last word in how any argument should end. They decided what is right and what is wrong within the community of the Lai and the Arch Lai decides if that is to be the law. They are in human forms tall and well built for elves, with brown hair and brown eyes and rich darkly tanned skin. They usually wear robes of brown and tan shades. [CENTER][B]...the Plot...[/B][/CENTER] The Elysia, Piel-5, is the main centre of all the Elysias within the area of the continent of Mercy. IT is also the main area in the battle against the Archetype seeing that the Archetype is rumoured to be upon the continent itself. They are also, they not knowing this, the final Elysia standing. The Archetype having fooled them into believing the other Elysias were still present in the world. The Lai though are growing thinner, and even there is word of them deciding to soon forge an alliance to the Humans to team up and destroy the Archetype. The truce though comes with a great deal that the Humans must agree too also once the war is done, and only the Arch Lai knows what it is so far besides her high Earth Lai. The Archetypes Lyricists have begun to show signs of Rebelling though the Hives of them with their leaders and even the Eons have forced them into the Archetypes control once more. The Archetype fears the Lyricists would begin a mass betrayal so then any of the Sirens suspected turning to a traitor would be eliminated immediately. The Archetype has begun to lose a grip on his children it appears also, so no one knows for sure if the Archetype is still living or not. So the Lyricists are being Slaughtered, with the Archetype supposedly weakening; the Lai are planning an alliance with the humans, though no one knows what it is; and the Humans are still duking it out with the Archetype believing their comrades are still alive without knowing they are the world Arachaus' final hope. Simple enough?

Revelation Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 [size=1][color=#696969]Like always, Ohkami, you know what to write. It's just powerful and interesting. I wish I had the creativity that you have, but alas, my mind grows old..lol. I love this RPG because it doesn't really have magic. It kind of reminds me of one of Takuya's RPGs. But, overall, awesome. Oh, save me a spot man![/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
