You and eleven others were just going about your normal lives when you see a strange door. As curiousity had it, you opened the door and find yourselves in a village almost exactly like the one in the middle ages. Only difference is the lingo- everyone talks like a modern-day person. You were greeted by a mysterious man in grey- hood and all- who shows you the way to the castle, where six stones were at rest. Your host divides the twelve of you in even pairs and the six stones glow at the touch of each pair. Your host tells you all that you were chosen as Gemstone Knights- a secret police force that maintains the balance between the modern world and the Realm of the Knights. All twelve of you are rookies, but face a force of which your host- the legendary Master Knight- knows too well of: a rogue Gemstone Knight who holds a powerful gem known as the Black Pearl. The Master Knight, now injured from a quarrel with the rogue, asks you and your fellow Knights to find the rogue in the modern world, track her down, and- if possible- kill her with no mercy.
Welcome to the Gemstone Knights.

The Six Gemstones
Spoiler
Amethyst: representing serenity and peace of mind, the Amethyst Knights are often cool-headed and calm during assignments and considered the peace-keepers of the Realm of Knights. Reason so is because Knights of this gemstone settle disputes in the village as well as in the modern world. True to certain modern mythology, these Knights can never get drunk because their gemstone makes them immune from intoxication. Common attacks are Violet Flash (which cause temporary blindness), Spear of Truth (a spear made of amethyst), and Cleansing Water (helps recover from battle). Element of the Amethyst is Wind.
Emerald: representing honor and loyalty, the Emerald Knights are the closest of allies the Master Knight has. There is no possible way for them to die of poison and they never break a vow- even if they're in the modern world. They have the nickname Knights of the Wolf because they remain loyal to the Master Knight and find fighting better when battle in numbers. Posion Dart (which can be lethal if taken too much) and Healing Moss (self explanitory) are commonly used by Emerald Knights. Element of the Emerald is Earth.
Topaz: representing faith, the Topaz Knights are those who were most likely to succeed the Master Knight because of their near-religious faith. They're at their peak of power during a full moon. Spirit Mirror (a mirror that shows the face of anyone from the spirit world) and Mind Cleanser (magic-spiked drinking water) are common. Element of the Topaz is Wood.
Opal: representing hope and the future, the Opal Knights often spend time learning to become priests for retiring from Knighthood. They are said to be born oracles. Rat Attack (self explanatory) and Hope Song (musical instruments or singing about hope) are common. Element of the Opal is the Moon.
Diamond: representing strength and purity, the Diamond Knights are as loyal as the Emerald Knights and are traditionalists in the terms of marriage. These are one of the best of Knights, considering that they are strong and will give a theif a lot of problems after stealing. White Flash (temporary or permanent blindness), Thief's Misfortune (change of a thief's luck), and Strength For Numbers (self-explanitory) are common. Element of the Diamond is Fire.
White Pearl: representing kindness and generousity, the Pearl Knights are considered the wisest of all Knights and commonly called "little professors" in the modern world. These were the first of the Gemstone Knights that was founded. String of Pearls (rope made by pearls to bind someone) and Pearl Shield (self explanatary) are common attacks. Element of the White Pearl is Water.


The Master Gemstones:
Spoiler
Grey Crystal: a gem of legend that contains the power of Light and has abilities only the Master Knight can use. This gem can be passed down from generation to generation by bloodline or- commonly in the Realm of Knights- by succession. Unlike the six which become rings or pendants when in the modern world, the Grey Crystal changes to a medallion of any jewel known in the modern world. That's to keep thieves away from the Master Knight.
Black Pearl: a gem of legend that contains the power of Darkness and has corrupt and unpredictable abilities. To get one's hands on this is to embrace the darkness within. A Knight with this gemstone is known as a rogue or- if the Knight keeps his or her hands on it- a Dark Knight.


Rules:
-All basic YWS rules apply.
-Romance is allowed, but no sex (keep the romance as far as kissing and holding hands, never beyound that).
-Don't kill off a character without the character's creator's permission (That means everybody, so don't bust this rule)
-No god-modding or you're out of the picture.
-Minimum swearing (F-bombs are a very big no-no).
-50 words minimum in every post, but long posts are exceptional. Be sure to put character's name and location at the beginning of every post Ex: Sarah | Modern World.
-This SB is modded by Redfang18 (yours truly), so what I say, goes.
-Keep the gender ratio even- we need seven boys and seven girls.
-Don't overdo the violence and no gory scenes. Can't have writers scarred for life here.
-Because it's permission only, PM Redfang18 your profile for approval.

Name: Ellis Aune
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Gemstone: Amethyst
Appearance:
Spoiler
Image

She's tall and holds herself like a dancer. She has a serious disposition but does enjoy smiling. She can be imposing and when she's trying to, she can develop a very harsh demeanor. She dresses for utility over style.
Personality: She is very book smart and is extremely studious, losing herself in texts and information for hours on end. However, she does not have much experience in putting her expansive pool of knowledge to practical use. She is a good speaker and very insightful though she doubts herself a lot. She is cordial and can come across as apathetic to some but to her close companions she is very passionate and stubborn. She is always honest but in some situations her bluntness is not welcome. She is very logical and has an analytical mindset but can loose sight of the way emotions play into situations. She likes the rain and sitting on top of tall buildings. She does take advantage of her inability to become intoxicated and enjoys social drinking. She likes people and animals but tends to view people less as individuals and more as puzzles to be figured out. She hates the overconfident and the arrogant. She hates clutter and disarray as well as people who are nosy and invasive.
Weapon: She took the general design of the Spear of Truth and created a personalized longbow, in the style of an English longbow, using amethyst to tip her arrows. It is very durable and extremely versatile. However, it is not ideal for close combat or melee battles. She prefers to use throwing knives of sharpened amethyst which will work for this purpose.
History: Before discovering the door, Ellis lived as an entering college student taking a gap year to prepare for admission into Westpoint to study Military History and Law. She came from a strictly military family who encouraged her to either do this or join the force. However, given her father's cold disposition and her mothers similar attitude, she was not eager to be a part of the military and developed pacifist views. As a compromise she agreed to study Military History and Law if not simply to help maintain peace. Many things have weighed her down over the years, including her older brother's suicide as a result of Post Traumatic Stress after being involved in a war, her younger sister's thoughtless dependence on men who take advantage of her insecurity, and her father's reliance on powerful pain medication to forget his own war years. Additionally, given the high stress family environment, her parents's marriage has dissolved into an extended battlefield. All of these things have shaped her into a person strictly against organised violence and have helped her become a valuable mediator and peacekeeper.
Up for love: Yes, Heterosexual

Name: Nabaat Graveborn
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: A short girl growing up no more than five feet zero, she has pitch black hair, hazel eyes, often prefers tight jeans but not to the point they imped her movements. Tends to wear a black leather jacket with a dark gray shirt underneath. And mainly wears high heels that are customed designed to hold dagger's.
Personality: Before taking on the black pearl, she was a kind and caring girl but after she had started to use the powers of her gemstone she began to slowly change into a much eviler version of herself. She will kill as needed unless its deemed unnecessary to.
Weapon: Her weapon is a great sword at the very hilt at the tip is the black pearl so she'll never loss it. When she is unable to use her great sword, she falls back on the daggers that she put on her high heels.
History: Being brought into the Gemstone knights at the early age of thirteen, she was trained rigeriously, shes been around the gemstone knights long enough to learn even the Angelus' fighting style. She fought him once when she was sixteen and was easily defeated. Furious with not only her defeat, but a defeat to someone who had only been around for a few years when she should have had more training. That's when the Black Pearl began to tap into her inner darkness and blessed her with powers only a Master Knight would have, now shes gone rouge and works furiously to take out her pursuers. And to survive the black pearl that eats her from the inside out slowly.
Gemstone Powers:
Black Explosion: Is an AoE spell (Can only be used a certain number of times the more its used the lesser it hits.)
Black Aura: Is an impenetrable aura that stops attacks (Only used for emergencies and causes joint stiffing.)
Whispering demon's: Continuely gives her intel on all those around her, mainly on peoples personal demon's and secrets. (Bad if shes in a city.)
Recovery: Speeds up her healing process. (Only able to speed up when shes not in battle.)
Up for love: Yes, Bisexual.
Other: Shes able to use her great sword with one hand, she also absolutely refuses the aid of any gun type weapons, Believing the use of guns is for the weak. But to help with long ranged fighting she learned how to throw knives and daggers.

May I take an Emerald knight? Female or male...doesn't matter. Whichever evens out the gender ratio. I'll PM you the profile once I figure out the gender.

Name: Kiara 'Goldie' Goldflower
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Appearance: I am so sorry about this but I have no other pictures apart from Anime
imagesCAY2Y2GH.jpg
imagesCAY2Y2GH.jpg (9.92 KiB) Viewed 589 times

Personality: She is very friendly and has a bubbly personality. She loves animals but hates Kookaburras. She also loves Kookaburras, just so long as they don't laugh!
Weapon: Can we have magic powers to do with our crystal? If so then I choose...The ability to see and control spirits and create an army of Ghouls.
History: She can't remember her life from before she turned 10 because of a terrible accident that killed her parents. Somewhere, within her brain, the memory is trying to escape. If that memory ever escapes, she will go insane with shock and grief.
Up for love: Hells Yeah!
Other: From the moment she touches the Topaz, she gains cat ears and a cat tail, therefore, becoming a Neko. She also gains the skills of a cat.

Name: Angelus Pacis (Villagers in the Realm of Knights call him Cresselia)
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Appearance: When in the Realm of Knights, he's only seen wearing a grey cloak- hood and all. When it comes to combat, he wears grey armor with the helmet's beaver down.
Spoiler
This is him in the modern world Image

Personality: Rather secretive about his past, but seems to have a craving for sweets from the modern world- specifically dark chocolate. While watching the rookies train under his unseen watchful eye, he tends to eat red and white dragonfruit to contemplate their potential of being his possible successor. He has a temper that can get in the way of his judgement, but is very patient with the rookies. Deep down, he questions the decision of the six Knight Gems.
Weapon: He has three in his arsenal. He has a dagger on his right hip and a double-edged sword on his back. When the situation gets too sour, he has a six-round gun to level the field. He rarely uses this unless he wants to get the rookies' attention by firing a shot in the air.
History: He once was a pianist when he discovered the door at age 18. He was initiated as an Emerald Knight and was friends with Nabaat until they challenged their generation's Master Knight. Angelus stood victorious over the Master Knight and earned his right as the new Master Knight. Nabaat challenged him for the right and the Grey Crystal, but Angelus easily defeated her in friendly combat. Now he's hoping that one of the new twelve rookies will earn the right as Master Knight and take his place as the Grey Crystal's new holder.
Up for love: Yeah, but you'll have to get passed his mysterious persona and the fact that he's bi.
Look down and show some mercy if you can.
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.

Imagine her without so much makeup, and not as nice clothes.


Personality: Carrie is realistic and optimistic. She has always been the goody two shoes at her school. Carrie is shy, but very smart. She is fierce when mad, but is usally calm.

Weaknesses: Carrie can be easily provoked and is rash at times. She doesn't like to be in the lime light, and is very shy, as mentioned.

She got more money from stocks, and on a walk with her friends found the door to the other world.
Up for love: Yay.

Name: Samderon "Sam" Russando

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Appearance:

Spoiler
Sam.jpg
Sam.jpg (29.12 KiB) Viewed 537 times



Personality: Strengths: Sam is loyal and very in control of his power. He is also very trustworthy and obedient.
Weaknesses: He's clingy, almost too loyal, and has the mental stability of a small child. ADHD and anxiety are also things that he struggles with.
Likes: He really likes friendship, though his clingy personality drives people away from him sometimes, and secrets. He likes to feel appreciated. Rainy weather is his favorite thing though.
Dislikes: He doesn't like being lied to, or empty promises. Empty threats also get on his nerves, whether it be towards those he cares for or himself. He hates insects and lightning.

Weapon: Sam relies on his attack powers more than anything, but also carries two emerald bladed swords. The hilts of the swords are basic, black leather bound to the actual emerald handles by golden twine. At the very bottom of each hilt, his initials are carved into the exposed gem.

History: In the modern world, Sam was diagnosed with ADHD and severe anxiety at age seven, causing him to be different and pretty isolated from the start. As he got older, his life worsened and worsened, bullying and personal demons facing him every day. When he came across the door, he didn't hesitate, his curiosity and hope to wake up in a different place overwhelming him. He wasn't surprised when he ended up in the village, glad if anything, before the anxiety set in.

Up for love: Sure. He isn't quite sure what his orientation is at this point, so anything goes.

Other: Not at the moment.
