Young Writers Society

A paper slips under your door and you cautiously pick it up. It was late night, or rather early morning, and nothing of this sort has ever happened before. You unfold the note and read the elegant script.



You start to crumble the paper but stop suddenly when something sharp pricks the back of your neck. Quickly you swat it, thinking it to be a bug of some sort, but instead you come back with another piece of paper.



The clock reads 4:30 A.M. Honestly you are freaked out so you put the paper on your desk gently rather than crumble it and stare wide eyed as more words seem to magically appear.



You nod twice and try not to collapse.



You heart is pounding and your head is swimming but you nod thrice anyway.



Plot:

You are a Fundamental, one of the core elements left of the earth and The Service needs your help. The war between mortals and immortals is starting to leak into the mortal world. Magical creatures are giving up their disguises and terrorizing the humans. No one can stop them because no one knows exactly who “they” are… except for you and your partners of course. Why, you ask.

It is because Karzai has awaken.

Who is Karzai? You will come to know in due time. For now just know he’s evil, and merciless. Know that it’s time for the Fundamentals to regroup and restore balance between the two worlds.

It’s time for the new generation to stand up and fight.



Fundamentals:

Water: Calm by nature, usually relaxed and easy going. But don’t let the nonchalant smile and gentle appearance fool you; they will cut you down with a smile to protect the ones they care for. Water Fundamentals are placid which can cause them to be easily manipulated. They have nothing to hide, leaving them an open book and easy to read.

Fire: They’re tough and they know it. They know how to fight and will not hesitate to show you what they’re made of. Fire Fundamentals are easily the strongest, but their troubles with control, at the same time, make them weaker than the others. Their temper and lack of self-control will often hurt the ones they don’t mean to hurt.

Earth: They possess power and control. Earth Fundamentals are the leaders of the pack, so to say. They’re tough and level headed but also stubborn. They refuse to take suggestions, much less orders, from another class. Earth listens to only Earth, nobody else. Their refusal to take advice can leave them stranded and in deadly trouble.

Air: Care free and happy, the Air Fundamentals are the “Airheads” of the group. They are very strong, fast, and nimble. Graceful and more powerful than they know, but their lack of seriousness keeps them from honing that power. They prefer using their powers for fun and games instead of training. They need something near deadly to happen before they even start to pay attention and can be as cocky as the Fire Fundamentals, but may not always have a bite behind their bark.

I reserve a spot for a female Fire Fundamental. I will post my profile soon.

Sorry, I can't do this one anymore. ^^'

Name: Antony Cove

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Fundamental Class: Water

Appearance:

Personality: Antony embodies everything about water, he’s cool, calm, collected, and in tune with nature. He’s your classic hippie. He tends to think the best of people, sometimes overly optimistic and accepting, and it takes a lot to cause him to be angry at you.
When the day comes the Ant is mad, well, all hell must have broken through and ate the last of the food.
Though he is calm he can also be strong when the situation calls for it. He will fight to the death to protect the ones he loves but, before drawing his blade and calling on his power, he will most likely try to talk it out first.
Antony is kind, loving, and naïve. And he’s perfectly okay with that.

History (How’d They Discover Their Gift): Antony always knew he was different, ever since the first day of school he felt something that separated him from the rest of the little boys. For one, he didn't drink anything but water once he had that choice to make, refused to have anything else. And while this made him a healthy child it also made him a strange one. His first non-water beverage was chocolate milk and he has been hooked ever since.
One day a ten year old Ant was sitting in his room, watching Tv and listening to music at the same time, or at least trying to. Suddenly he heard a loud yelling from downstairs that made it past the noise of both his ear buds and his TV. Curious, Ant turned off everything and simply listened. He caught snatches of conversation, things like: “This is from your side of the family,” from his mom and “You have to accept this, Darcy” from his dad. The arguing continued and nothing was cleared or explained, but the words “freak” many times. Out of nowhere there was a scream of rage, screams of agony, and then silence.

Ant raced downstairs and saw his Father dead on the floor, blood pooling around him. Emotions Antony never experienced before took over him – rage and unaltered sorrow. Even when the kids would tease him, Antony would not get even remotely sad or angry but now he was shaking with fury and tears. He felt his insides seem to turn to water and it was uncomfortable. He knew his mother did this and he knew his father didn’t fight back – his father was exactly like him.

Antony’s mother turned to him, knife raised, and before she could take more than three steps towards her son, the water flew out of the sinks and every drain in the kitchen, covering his mother and drowning her on land. Her cause of death was left unsolved.
Antony went to a orphanage where he got adopted by a wonderful family. Ester and James have been his parents and everything he could ever want, he even got a little sister Janice. Antony still thinks about his dad sometimes but now he’s a part of the Cove family, happy as can be.

Other: Up for love. He loves chocolate milk, it’s like his crack. He also knows how to play the flute and the gutair. He keeps his father's necklace and him mom's weeding ring as a reminder of them. Even after what she did to his dad and what she tried to do to him, Ant has forgiven his mom.

Other: N/A.

Name: Elijah Woods (Eli)

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Fundamental Class: Fire

Appearance: She's not very tall, only 5"5 and has a slim but athletic body with toned legs and arms.

Personality: Eli is a firecracker. She speaks her mind no matter what. She's wild and can be fun until you mess with her, that's when she gets mean. She may be small but she is fierce, she will scratch and bite and scream. Basically anything she can do to win the fight. She also has a temper that gets out of control when someone makes her made or if someone annoys her to the end of the world and back.

History (How’d They Discover Their Gift): Elijah lived alone with her father and two older brothers so she was always sort of a tomboy. She watched football, basketball, hockey, and soccer with her family, she even played the sports with them every once in a while and kicked their butts.

One day Elijah was playing football with a few guys from her eight grade class. Her team was winning but three touchdowns and there was no way the other team could catch up. She was handed the ball and off she went, racing down the field, faster than all the guys in her entire school. She was about to make yet another touchdown when all of a sudden she was grabbed from behind and threw to the ground. She landed with an "oof" and a yell of anger at being stopped but she got over it quickly enough. The guys that tackled her wouldn't get off though.

"Get Eli," they shouted. And they all pilled on top of her, and at first she could handle it, with a long of will power she was managing to wiggle her way out. But then the fondling started. The started grabbing her through the too big football t-shirt and her jogging capris. She screamed in rage but they wouldn't stop. She felt a white hot anger that suddenly turned to red hot flames. The boys all jumped off of her, screaming and pain and demanding to know what Elijah did, but she was already running home.

Other: She is up for love. She's also always practicing to get better. She hates touching people if she doesn't have to, it gives her shivers and sends her into an instant rage.

Male Air spot claimed

Name: Arwen

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Fundamental Class: Fire

Appearance: Short hair with brown and auburn streaks in the sunlight. She has smoky (xD) grey eyes.

Personality: Likes to have fun, but is determined and brave when the time comes. She is a natural leader.

History (How’d They Discover Their Gift):
Other: UP FOR LOVE!!!

Name: Natalie McKenzie

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Fundamental Class: Air Fundamental

Appearance: Natalie has blonde, curly hair and deep blue eyes. She is average height and weight, and has a slim figure.



Personality: Natalie isn't the brightest of them all, but she's still a bit smart. She likes to have fun and is carefree. Natalie may come off as cruel and rude, but she is more of the opposite. She's generous and kind, and a bit stupid. Though, she is very sensitive to that word. Natalie has an innocent and fragile demeanor.

History (How’d They Discover Their Gift): Natalie was born to loving parents, and being the only child. Natalie was left at home a lot, since her mother and father are always working. At the age of 10, she had a boyfriend she absolutely loved. They're relationship was great... until he decided to quiz her on things about him. When she couldn't answer any of them, he then called her stupid and broke up with her. Natalie was left in depression for about a week, with no one to talk to.

She discovered her power when she was alone at home. She was outside laying on the grass. She started to trace things in the sky with her finger, and notice a little wisp growing. Natalie started moving her fingers around to find out that she's controlling the wisp. Shocked, she never really told anyone.

Other: Natalie is up for love, but it might be hard to catch her.

Going to be my first SB, but I'll try to play along Seeing as how there is a lack of Earth Fundamentals and Males, I'll play both for once. Funny because I use to pretend to be an Earth element with my friends when we had a crew going.

Name: Jayk Hartz

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Fundamental Class: Earth

Appearance: Wears baggy clothes and a hoody. Generally seen as a 'thug' of life and is outcasted by many people. Brown eyes, black hair, and a goatee are some of his features. A deep frown is forever stretched across his face and squinty eyes that look at everyone with suspicion/lack of care. Has a scar on both hands (palms).

Personality: People hate him. Or rather he hates the world. He has a lack of care for everything. It takes a lot for him to get serious and usually tells people to solve things themselves. So although he is a fighter, he will often only fight at his fullest when there is something in it for him. He tends to reject attempts at friends and love, but perhaps he's just waiting for a friend that doesn't hurt him. The loner.

History (How’d They Discover Their Gift): He knew he was different from the minute he was born. He felt betrayal after betrayal in friendship and ended up becoming extremely paranoid of everything. He doubted his parents love for him and soon ran away at the age of 17. As a result, he became an independent person who enjoys being by himself more than with other people. But everyone has to eat somehow and joined a gang. They became his family and he soon rose through their power chain. People said he had great leader ship skill, but he rejected all offers to create a brother gang, claiming that he wasn't doing this for the glory and only wanted to survive until the next day.

He learned about his powers in the first grade. While racing another boy, he had fallen behind. Unwilling to lose, he willed a stone to rise and trip the boy. No one realized what had happened, but Jayk knew what he had done. He continued to use his powers for mischief, but at the same time, making sure no one knew it was him. While he wasn't the brightest student, he wasn't dumb. Everything blew up when he was 16. Angry and in a fight with his friend, he punched his friend in the face. Unconsciously, he had hardened his hand with stone. The impact shattered his friend's jaw. This began the tense relationship between he and his family.

Other: Is not up for love, but that may change as the story progresses. *Cough hint hint cough* Is paranoid, drinks often, scares people on sight. Can be the leader of the group, but does it unwillingly.

Is there still room to claim a spot? If so, I'll claim whatever's left!

Name: Aurora "Rory" Clavelle

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Fundamental Class: Earth

Appearance: Rory has short cropped, dark brown hair and skin the colour of caramel. Her eyes are as dark as her hair and her expression is usually very serious. She dresses in simple clothes, usually strappy tops and cargo pants with sandles or nothing on her feet. She stands at about 5 foot 6 inches and has a slim but muscled build.

Picture:

Personality: Rory is a hard and serious person but also reliable and protective. She isn't one to joke around and doesn't approve when others do in hard times. This is partly due to jealousy though and she will sometimes watch wistfully as normal children play at their games. Rory is a leader. She's got used to taking care of her siblings and - which is more - used to having her own way. She's as stubborn as any other Earth child and perhaps more so since I doubt she will listen to Jake who doesn't seem sensible enough to earn her respect. Rory does have a sense of humour in there somewhere though and perhaps she will warm to the group when she is less worried about leaving her siblings alone and less anxious about trying to keep everyone safe. Being a leader is a heavy burden to bear alone.

History: Rory's parents never had much money but one thing they did have in abundance was children. They lived in a poor area where fights were frequent and it wasn't rare for a family to lose their loved ones. Rory is not the oldest in her family but she is the strongest. There is a sister and brother who are older than her but the sister is a timid creature and the brother a scrawny boy so Rory took on the role of protector. Many younger siblings followed after her and each one of them has been cared for by Rory. She discovered her power when she and her brother and two of the younger children were attacked in the streets. Some thugs pulled a gun on them and Rory placed herself in front of her siblings to shield them with her body but when the shot was fired and she raised an arm to protect herself, the Earth also raised itself to act as a shield.

Other: Love is always a possibility but not terribly likely here or at least it certainly wouldn't be an easy road for your character.

Okay, spots all full I believe. Give me a moment please.
