<center>-cue Final Fantasy Prelude-

One day, six strangers unexpected stumbled upon a long forgotten temple--the Temple of Chroma. Upon entering, they hear a booming voice. "You are the chosen ones--predestined to come here and fulfill a prophecy. You must find the six elemental gems, rare stones of great power that have been lost over the centuries and scattered across the continent, and bring them together here. One is hidden within an angry mountain, one in an icy cave, one in a deep canyon, one in a lush forest, one in a holy tower, and one in a dead city. Find them, serve your purpose, and you will witness a spectacle never before seen by your kind."

The six chosen ones, bound together by destiny, must now embark on a great adventure, filled with monsters and obstacles, and find the six elemental gems of power. But what will happen once all the gems are together again? Will it bring peace? Will it destroy the world? ...Or will something altogether unexpected occur? After all, this could only be the beginning.</center>

This is the minimum of what you need to fill out and PM to me (or registeel_rocks77). Once you are accepted, you can post it here and I'll add your character to the list on the bottom. Please make sure the element you want is not already taken.

Also, it'd be nice to have a good mix of male and female characters. I know most of the RPers on Psypoke are male, but I'm a girl RPing a guy, and it shouldn't be harder for a guy to RP a girl.

Edit (8/26/05): Cleaned up the classes section.
Edit (9/19/05): Updated gems section by adding summoned attacks and spell descriptions.

((Sorry for double-posting.))

Name: Silvien
Element: Dark
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Class: Gun Mage
Weapon(s): Spell Gun

Appearance: Standing at 6'3", Silvien is tall compared to most men his age, but very skinny. His ebony-black hair is unnaturally long, even for a girl, his eyes are dark brown, usually hidden by his untidy bangs, and he has fanged teeth like a vampire.

Clothes: Blue, purple, and gold vest with pointed shoulders. Baggy, grey undershirt. Gold arm bands. Dark blue waistband. Blue and purple cloth around waist. Black pants. Tan armored boots.

History: Silvien's parents died when he was very young, leaving him to care for his baby sister, Mina. When they were in their teens, they were separated, and Silvien disappeared from existence altogether. But he's returned recently, a completely changed man...but not for the better.

Personality: A real smart-ass (forgive my French), its seems that Silvien's main purpose in life is to be obnoxious and annoy every person that crosses his path. But aside from being irritating, there's a real mystery about him. It's almost as if he's a small child with a deadly secret. Yet despite his crude nature, he's a very intelligent young man.

((Edit: Fixed typos and added clothes.))
<center>_________________________</center>
"Can you believe this crap?!" Silvien blurted out once he had set foot outside the temple. The ancient structure was surrounded by tall evergreen trees, jetting upwards like skyscrapers. The ground was covered in all sorts of flourishing green plant life, dotted with clusters of flowers. A blue mountain could barely be seen hovering above the trees. "I mean, really. Us? The Chosen Ones?" He stopped, looking down at the grass and shaking his head. "Could someone please pinch me so I'll know this is a dream? We don't even know where to begin looking. But at least I have this." And he whipped out a map, crouching down and laying it flat on the ground for all to see. "Uh...where did the creepy disembodied voice tell us the gems were again? A grumpy mountain...a...icy tower?"

((I know this post isn't as long as most of the ones I've been posting recently. >_O;; ))

Of course, I'm here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Sabin Rene Figaro
Element: Earth
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Class: Fighter
Weapon(s): Claws (They fit on like gloves but they have knife-like blades extending out of them)
-----------------------
Appearance: Sabin has a good height of 6'2". He has a muscular physique, and brown spiky hair. He has blue eyes, and he wears a purple muscle shirt with white pants.
-----------------------
Ability: Sabin can perform things called blitzes. They're special fighting attacks (like in Street Fighter-like games) that vary wildly apart.

Blitzes
Already known before quest:

Pummel: Lightning fast punches that pierce defenses
Aurabolt: Mystical beam deals damage
Suplex: Grabs enemy then slams foe into ground
Mantra: Turns Sabin's energy into health for his allies

Later learned: (during quest)

Fire Dance: Makes fire clones of Sabin
Air Blade: Turns Sabin's energy into an air-element sword
Spiraler: Fully heals all allies, but puts Sabin into critical condition
Bum Rush: Slams foes with max energy, but puts Sabin into critical condition

-----------------------
Background Info/Personality: Sabin trained under a great martial arts master for seven years. He completed his training by beating his master in a duel. He's relaxed a bit more the past two years, but he still practices his blitzes every day.

Sabin is a very energetic and determined man. Once he sets himself a goal, he doesn't stop until it's finished. Sometimes he can be a bit brash, getting him into sticky situations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sabin began to laugh. "You worry too much. This is going to be fun, if not a challenge." smiled Sabin. "We'll journey across every land; we'll solve every puzzle, and we'll tackle any foe that stands in our way!" Sabin began to jump around, excited. "Best of all I get to show you all how great my blitzes are."

Sabin then thought about the voice they heard earlier. "I didn't really like that creepy voice, though. It seems he knows almost everything about each of us..." said Sabin as a chill ran up his spine.

(Edit 9/23/05: Updated class and put list of Blitzes in.)

Name: Ellya
Element: Light
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Class: Gunner
Weapon(s): Rifle (a family heirloom, which she had stolen on the night she ran away), Chakrams, and a skinning knife.

Appearance: Medium-tall. Long, black hair. Dark eyes. Skin tanned from spending long days in the sun. Often wears a wide brimmed hat to shade her eyes from the sun. Wears light, loose, cream coloured shorts and shirt, with a hunting jacket over the top.

History: Ellya was born to a noble family, but never enjoyed that life. She ran away, aged only 10, and lived in a forest near the kingdom where she was born. Learned everyting she could about the forest and the animals inside it and came to respect the forest, almost as if it was a human being. She only ever took what she needed. Only killed animals for meat or clothing, never for selling. When she needed to make a fire she only took dead branches from the ground, and never snapped them off trees. In short she loves and respects nature.

Personality: As I said before, she respects nature and animals, and treats them as her best friends. Shy and uncomfortable around other humans, she spends most of her time away from towns, unless she needs needles for sewing or a blacksmith to repair her weapons. When she is in her element, though, she is proud and sure of herself.

----

Ellya walked out of the temple behind the other two. She was quite shaken up, all this was like nothing she'd seen before. But somehow it felt right. She had always believed that someday she would do something for the world, that she would go on a great adventure and save all humanity, or something like that. She walked up to where Silvien was crouched and sat down next to him, her legs crossed. "Well there isn't much we can do about it, is there?" She said meekly, looking down at the map, "I mean, if we really are the chosen ones. Anyway, I think that you're right," she looked up at the tall, muscular man, "I think it'll be fun, like a big adventure! I always dreamed of someday going on a great adventure, seeing the world, saving the-" Ellya shut her mouth quickly. She could never quite get used to the company of others, and sometimes she kept on rambling, forgetting that the others were there. Then a thought struck her, but if we're the chosen ones, we'll have to travel together, be friends. I hope I can manage it...

"Well, aren't you the bubbly one?" said Sabin to Ellya. "You got spunk hidden in you; I like that. " smiled Sabin. He looked at all the other chosen ones. "Well, if we're going on this adventure together, we're going to have to get along. Sure we can have our little tiffs and arguments along the way, but all in all, we have to rely on each other." Sabin looked at Ellya. "For instance, in the heat of a battle, I can't just let her be open to an enemie's attack. Same goes for anyone else. We have to look out for each other; stay on the alert." said Sabin, sure that everyone got his point.

"Oh ho ho. That sounds a lot like leader talk to me," Silvien said in response to Sabin's little pep talk. The gun mage rolled up the map and stood, moving towards the spiky haired brawler.

Name: Adriaan
Element: Ice
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Class: Thief
Weapon(s): Two small throwing daggers, cleverly hidden on her body and her body (she knows how to fight with and without knives).

Appearance: Adriaan is 4'12", as she puts it. She has shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. She is pretty, but not out of the oridnary: an easily forgettable face. She wears a small backpack that she carries clothes changes and wigs in, should she ever need them. She wears browns and other earthy colors, with her face the only visible skin. When she's sneaking into a place, she covers her face with paints, making her nearly invisible.

History: Adriaan was kicked out of her house at the age of ten when she was caught stealing money from her brother (an innocent prank). She decided to teach her parents and never be caught again. She taught herself the arts of theft, though she always had a knack for it. True to her promise to herself, she has never been caught. Just before this incident, she had robbed her parents of all of their money.

Personality: She is quiet and seems to not care while she is really listening intently; she has a word-perfect memory. She doesn't really have any friends because of her profession, but hey, she's fine with that. It is very hard to earn her trust, but if you can, she'll stick with you. If you get on her bad side, though, be careful, she can fight when she has to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adriaan sidled out of the temple, wondering why she was one of the chosen ones. She sighed inaudibly as she watched (and listened) to the others. Going against her instincts, she spoke up. "We have to visit six places: an angry mountain, an icy cave, a deep canyon, a lush forest, a holy tower, and a dead city." Her voice came out of the shadows like a sigh and vanished as soon as she had finished speaking. She looked at the others. "Maybe the temple did just appear; it has happened before." She sighed silently again. I suppose since I have to travel with these dimwits and strong men, I might as well make the best of it. Still, Adriaan stayed in the shadows, listening to the others and waiting for someone else to make a move.

And Silvien did make a move. Or tried to. "Hey, there," he said, completely forgetting the bizarre 'mystery of the appearing temple' and relocating himself next to the theif, placing one hand against the rough trunk of a nearby tree and leaning his weight against it. "I bet you followed me here, didn't you, doll? Found me fascinating, did you?" He did a quick eye movement down and then up, inspecting the rest of Adriann, and then raised his eyebrows, flashing her a devious grin. "And I must admit, I find you fascinating as well. I bet you're even prettier in the light." So much for everyone holding hands and getting along. "You must be the fire chosen, 'cause you are H-O-T."

((-shakes head- He's embarassing. And he needs to work on his pickup lines.))

((Someone else may be joining, but they have to choose an element first.))

((Wow, that was um...interesting... ))

Adriaan pulled out one of her knives and threw it, embedding it in the tree right next to Silvien's hand. Even if everyone had known what she was doing, they wouldn't have been able to follow her quick motions, she was so fast. She glared at the tall man. "And here, I thought you had some sense, but it appears I was wrong. I guess there's a first time for everything." She glared at him, showing that she wasn't flirting. "Could you pull that out of the trunk, please?" She smiled, as cold as her element, knowing that it would be quite a task to pull her deeply embedded dagger from the tree, even for a strong fighter. She didn't even mind that she would have to sharpen it again after this. She wasn't going to hurt this man if she had to travel with him, but it didn't mean she had to deal with his flirting either.

((By the way, do our characters know each other's names? And who may be joining us?))

((Indeed. And ignoring him would just make him behave worse. >_<; ))

"Yikes!" Silvien withdrew his hand quickly, cradling it close to his chest with his other as if it had been impaled by the knife. The theif had moved so fast that he didn't recall ever seeing her throw the thing. "Feisty, aren't you. Just how I like my ladies," he purred, twisting around and struggled with ripping the blade free from the tree, finding it exceedingly difficult and immediately giving up. "It's really in there. May want to ask the muscle head to get it for you."

He then looked back at the dark haired girl, Ellya. Hmm, she's not bad looking either, he thought, a smirk hovering about his lips. But she seem too...nice. I doubt I'd have a chance. Still, there's no harm trying. But first, he knew he had to concentrate more on finding the gems than on finding pretty girls who properly appreciated his so-called 'manly charm'.

((Good point, Anade. No, our characters don't know each other yet. I guess now would be a good time for everyone to get acquainted and tell their story of how they found the temple. And Sneaky_Sneasel's wanting to join as soon as he comes back from vacation, which is tomorrow.))

((Edit: Sorry. Edited it so that Silvien doesn't get the knife free.))

Sabin gave a frown at Silvien when he reffered to him as a 'muscle-head'. "Normally, I'd give you a good smack upside the head for talk like that, but since we're going to be together for such a long time... I would rather not create dense tensions." said Sabin.

Sabin walked over to where the knife was embedded. He grabbed it and gave it a stern pull. It didn't come out right away, but after jerking it a couple times, he wrenched it out. He handed it to Adriaan. "I believe this is yours."

Ellya watched the 'fight,' slightly detatched from the rest. She was intrigued by this strange behaviour. Firstly the man had said those things from out of the blue, and secondly the girl had thrown a knife at him, even though he was complimenting her. Ellya shook her head and walked over to the others. "Well, perhaps we should... uh... get to know each other, if we're going to be travelling together," she extended a hand, unsure if this was the correct gesture, "my name is Ellya."

Sabin grabbed Ellya's hand, but loosely. He shook her hand lightly. "Pleasure to meet you." responded Sabin. He let go after a couple of seconds. "Yes, we need to really know each others names, so that we don't have to say 'Hey, uh, you! Go over and help...uh...him!'" laughed Sabin.

Sabin then jumped up onto a little platform, to declare. "My name is Sabin. Hope to eventually be friends with all of you." said Sabin as he jumped down from the platform.

"Yeah, yeah. That's great," Silvien muttered sarcastically, quickly disregarding Sabin and waving his hand impatiently. "They don't want to know who you are. They'd rather hear about me--Silvien. Never heard of me, girls? I'm surprised. I'm only the most attractive, most eligible bachelor in all of Alenui. And one smokin' gun mage." As he said this, he detatched a bulky S-shaped gun from his waistband, which was blue, black, and gold, almost like his clothes. Once his fingers came into contact with the weapon, strange runes appeared and began to glow and spin in a circular motion around where the nozzle of the firearm would be.

"Impressive, isn't it? It's called a spell gun. It can absorb enemy attacks, embedding the move in its memory, and use it against them." As Silvien returned the gun to its place against his hip, he took Ellya's hand gingerly in his. "A pleasure, Ellya," he said, and he bent to kiss the back of her hand.

((Edit: Changed the wording a bit.))

Ellya stood there, unsure what to do. "I - I'm very pleased to meet you..." she said, caught a little off guard. She withdrew her hand and rested it on the knife at her belt. It's familiar handle felt good under her hand, and it made her little more at ease. "So... we need to find out where to go, don't we? Do any of you know an... uh... angry mountain?"

"Hmm, well let's consider the clues, shall we?" Silvien turned away from Ellya to face the others, appearing deep in thought and stroking his chin. "Okay, so the voice said the gems are hidden in an angry mountain, an icy cave, a deep canyon, a lush forest, a holy tower, and a dead city, correct?" he went on, looking over at Adriaan for confirmation. "I'm guessing that 'angry mountain' means 'volcano', but I guess the stupid voice can't just tell us that straight out. And icy cave has so be located somewhere cold. Probably on the north side of Alenui. The only canyons I know of are out in the middle of the desert. A forest?" He paused, wrinkling his nose and frowning. "That's a toughie, considering the continent is covered in them. I guess the 'lush' part is all we have. As for the holy tower and the dead city, I have no idea. I never was really good at geography. That's why I entrusted my map to Sabin. Can't read one to save my life.

"And then there's the gems themselves. The voice said they were 'elemental'. I dunno about you guys, but the only elements I know of are fire, water, earth, and air. But that's only four. Maybe the six locations can give us some hints." After all that was said, Silvien shrugged and then walked over by Sabin, leaning his back against a large stone.

Sabin took a gander at the map. "Well, from the looks of this, a place that fits the description of a 'deep canyon' is actually not too far from here." said Sabin, pointing at the map. "I don't know what the canyon is called, but I've seen it before. I tried to descend into it, but theres a ton of antlions; big suckers. It's like they're guarding something." said Sabin, trying to make it sound mystical. "I'm betting we're supposed to find that something."

"The desert is also cactuar country," Silvien added. "Very strange creatures, but dangerous when angered. I say we should avoid one if we see one...as well as those termite things you mentioned."

He pushed himself away from the rock, looking over the blitzer's shoulder to the place he was indicating on the map. "Hey, is that a town?" he asked excitedly, moving around Sabin and pointing to a black dot on piece of paper. "That's great. We can stop on our way to the canyon and stock up on supplies--as well as see if anyone has any useful information."

"A... town?" Ellya whispered, frightened, "do we really have to go to a town? I mean we could probably just hunt for what we need... right?" Though Ellya didn't want to admit it, she was scared. She was scared of the towering buildings, and the smells, and all the people. Everything in the towns were so unnatural, so disrespectful to the things she had grown to love. The grass covered by cobblestones. Horses struggling to pull carts. It all gave her the creeps. She shivered once without meaning to and walked over to the map. "But what is this... desert that you speak of? I've never heard of such a thing in my life."

Adriaan had accepted her knife with a nod and had listened to al of the introductions. No one had asked her her name, so she hadn't given it out. As she had thought, Silvien was mostly just a charmer, and Sabin was, indeed, a muscle man. This girl, though, Ellya. Such a little feminine thing, so easily distraught by guys. Adriaan snorted quietly, Just what I'd expect, I'm stuck with the idiots of the kindom. She smiled silently as Silvien mentioned four elements, for she had heard the true elements mentioned a few years ago when she had almost been caught had she had snuk into mage's shop. The mage had an apprentice and wa teaching them about the four elements: fire, earth, thunder, ice, light, and dark. Adriaan snorted as Ellya spoke her fears of of a town and spoke up in her whispery voice, "Hey, if you want, Ellya," she put scorn on the other girl's name, "you can stay here and make yourself all the supplies you want. Me, towns are pretty small, they never have enough people to blend in, but for a one night stay, it'll be great." She smiled coldly.

((Sorry I took so long, but schoolwork is getting the better of me.))

Name: Nikolas Safin
Element: Thunder
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Class: Alchemist
Weapon(s): Mech Gun

Appearance: Standing at 5'11" and weighing in at 188 pounds, Nikolas is a bit short and stocky for anyone consider his being an alchemist seriuosly, since he has quite a bit of raw strength. His hair is strawberry blond, and in an almost military style cut. Along with his hazel eyes, he has a jagged scar that goes right below his left ear down to his left lower jaw.

Clothes: A red sweater vest on top of a normal gray T-shirt. Beige (sp?) cargo pants, with many alchemy formulas and such in most of the pockets.

History: 4th generation in a line of successful alchemists, Nikolas was always pushed by his family to continue the tradition. This in turn gave him little time for things like friends, so he always had to depend on himself for everything.

Personaility: Since most of his life was based on training, he never was very social. He usually keeps to himself, unless his input is really needed, which to him is very rarely. He always thinks things through before action, though his glass half empty style of reasoning makes him a party-pooper at times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nikolas just hung back and leaned on one of the dilapidated pillars of the temple, idlely listening to the others talk about where to go and whatnot. His hazel eyes closed, thinking about his great ordeal he and the the rest would have to go through/

"Of all the people..it had to be me. Why me? I mean, it is a great honor and such, but I'm not ready for this. But if I was chosen, then I am ready, but I don't know that do I? Maybe I should crawl under my bed while I'm at it.

"A desert?" Silvien scratched the back of his head. "It's a...um...y'know. It's a sweltering hot place with all sorts of creepy critters and an abundance of sand as far as the eye can see." He shrugged again, having given his best explaination. "And maybe while we're in town I can buy you a pretty silk dress. Get you out of those hunting clothes," he told Ellya, giving her his most debonair smile...which just looked painful. "But then again, we're going to be doing a lot of traveling. A dress would most likely get ripped to shreds. You'll have to remind me to get you one as soon as we're finished with this whole rounding up of the gems...thing." He winked, then returned his attention to the other chosens, waiting for a signal from them to start moving.

Sabin was disgusted by Silvien's behavior. I like beautiful women too... but I wouldn't dare to even think talking like that... Sabin put some distance between him and Silvien. Sabin then noticed a guy leaning against a pillar. He decided to walk over to the unknown person.

"Whoa, I didn't even notice you there!" greeted Sabin. "I saw you earlier when the voice told us the...stuff...but you seemed to had disappeared afterwards. I guess you were just hiding." smiled Sabin. "You gotta name? It'd help me if I knew it."

Ellya looked coldly at the girl. It didn't take an alchemist to tell that the girl was insulting her. "I've a strange feeling that your element is ice," Ellya said to the girl, returning the cold look. Her royal blood turned it into more of a condescending smile. Ellya turned around and started walking off in the direction taht she thought the town to be in. "Come on, Let's go!" She shouted to the others, her voice a little more high-pitched than she had hoped, "I don't want to waste any time getting to that town!"

"Right behind you, darling!" Silvien shouted back. Girls can be so sensitive, he thought to himself, secretly rolling his eyes and shaking his head. He then went to join Sabin, ignoring the burly man's wishes to keep as wide of a berth between them as possible, curious as to who he was speaking with.

"Oi, who's this?" he asked, wondering how he could've missed him earlier. Probably because he didn't wreak of estrogen. The mage's eyes fell to the large mech gun the man had with him. "Are you an alchemist?" His face lit up. "So you're skilled at making potions, right? Now we don't have to pay out the wazoo for the overpriced ones in town. I don't know about you guys, but I didn't have much time to plan for this trip...so I'm a little low on gil."
