Secrets Left Unknown (Closed, Started)

I started this SB a while back and really enjoyed the idea, though it didn't last too long. I thought I'd give it another shot with the help of LoyalHeart.
**All profiles go to me before posting**

Plot:

There's a little place called Summit. It's a town cut off from other civilization by ginormous mountains. Or so you think. You come across rumors that the mountains aren't mountains at all, that they're walls put up by the government to keep you and the other freaks under close surveillance. A group of close friends and rivals gather and plan to escape Summit and find out just how deep (and dangerous) the secret gets. Will you be able to cooperate long enough to survive together? Or will you end up tearing each other apart before you can even escape?

Characters:

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Race: Demigod (Daughter of Aphrodite)

Appearance

Spoiler

Rayah.jpg (235.97 KiB) Viewed 371 times

Rayah has bleach blonde hair with brown-ish highlights. Unlike the picture, she has big emerald green eyes, flawless tan skin, and rose red lips. She usually keeps her hair in a braid or down. She's normal height for a teenage girl - 5'5". Since she is the daughter of Aphrodite, to enhance her beauty she usually wears a blue necklace her father gave her. She usually wears ripped skinny jeans or short- shorts with a tank top or just a pain white tee shirt and leather jacket. Wears combat boots. Has lots of curves, a good structure, but is usually underestimated because of that.

Personality: Rayah is very...bubbly. She thinks everythings a game and never takes anything seriously without reason to. She plays around alot and has a dirty sense of humor. She's fun to be around and can cheer anyone up. She isn't girly at all, the exact opposite. She's smooth around guys without even knowing, and feels most like herself around her friends. She's a good swimmer, has a swimmer's body. She never tells secrets and stands up for her friends no matter what the concenquences. Though, she hurts herself alot bother phyisically and mentally. She's really easy to confuse and isn't that smart, but is a really good friend to have. She's also a great singer infront of girls, but around boys it's way different.

But...She isn't the person you want to get mad...ever. She has a temper as vile as a dragon and will explode on you if you hurt her, or her friends. She's a really good fighter at hand to hand combat, but sometimes ends up hurting the person more than intended. She's strong hearted and tries not to cry infront of people, but ends up doing it anyways. When she's mad, it's best not to stay near her, she'll burn you if you touch her when she's angry.

Power: Level 8 - almost nine- Fire and heat. Can heal only on certain times (rarely workds) and whenever she sings, a boy near her will fall in love with her.

Rival: Is good friends with Chase, her rival is Mikayla. She's also friends with her half brother Balthier when he's not annoying her.

Other: Up for love.

Name: Mikayla "Kay" Jagged

Age: 17

Gender: F

Race: Advanced elemental.

Appearance: Mikayla has jet black hair and piercing blue eyes. She has a fair complexion and stands at about 5'8'', with a slim but muscular build. She wears all black, usually preferring either jeans or leather, and always wears a chain around her neck with the charm of a crescent moon.

Personality: She’s outgoing, yet soft spoken. She only speaks in front of those she knows or when spoken to and is pretty good about biting her tongue. She’s undyingly loyal to those she loves and will do what she thinks she has to in order to protect them, which often leads to her own downfall. Her isn't anything to worry about, since she's normally a calm person, but her mood swings are. Once in such a state, it’s nearly impossible to bring her out until she’s finished with the phase. She likes the rain and weather most would hate. She dislikes being cooped up and is quite impatient.

Power: Mikayla has control over storms, but can also follow the same behavior as one. Meaning, like water vapor in a cloud, she can disintegrate herself to mist. She can also use the behavior of lightning and rain just as she does water vapor.

Rival: Her rival is Kami.

Other: Up for love.

````````````````````````
Name: Chase Jagged

Age: 18 (just recently)

Gender: M

Race: Advanced elemental.

Appearance: Chase has jet black hair as well and emerald green eyes. He has a bronze complexion, unlike his sister, and stands at about 6 foot. He dresses much like his sister, but lighter. He chooses to wear grays or dark blues and greens, instead of simply black.

Personality: He's much like his sister, but quieter. He's not as outgoing and is nearly always absorbed in his thoughts. He's grounded, unlike his sister, and often is more understanding of others and can see where they're coming from. He's accepting of people but doesn't trust easy, merely giving people the benefit of the doubt. He's just as loyal as his sister, but is more self-sacrificing than she and over protective of her. His temper is the complete opposite of his sister, often a bit more of an issue as well. He likes his solitude but does enjoy company. He dislikes people who think they're perfect and being belittled as if he's nothing. He's also pretty terrified of conflict. He just doesn't want to deal with it.

Power: Chase has control over the earth. Like his sister, he can manipulate behavior and use it to his advantage. For example, he can camoflague himself into just about everything with a thought and can easily become as solid as a rock or as small and scattered as a beach of sand.

Rival: Is good friends with Rayah. His rival is Anzu.

Other: Up for love.

Name: Draco Nemesis (Some call him the Vampire Dragon- Vamp Drake for short- behind his back.)
Age:18
Gender:M
Race: Dragon shapeshifter, human form is a vampire
Appearance: In his human form, he wears black from the shoulders down to his feet. He's moonlight pale with bright green eyes- almost similar to the eyes of a cat- and golden blonde hair that's been tied in a tight braid behind him and down to his knees at best. He's a bit muscular for his age, but thin at the waist- thin like rail-thin, but not thin enough to be skin-and-bones. He's six-foot one-inch tall.

Spoiler

Dragon form, but minus the golden band at the tail and having vampire canines for hunting for meat and animal blood.

When he's in his human form and angry in the same form, he bares pearly-white canine fangs as a warning.
Personality: In spite of his appearance and menecing nature, he's relatively quiet and curious about how he got here. His biggest weakness is his temper that's respective to his dragon form. Make him mad and ignore his warning equals someone's going the right way for a clawed face. He's at his strongest when he's not so hungry. When he's hungry, he tends to lose his mind and has to find something to feed on so he'll remain his quiet but sane self. He keeps himself on an animal-blood diet so he wouldn't feed off the others. In addition to this, he loves to suck the juice out of ripe fruit. The only fruit he cannot touch or drain the juice out of are fruit with pits- which include mangos, peaches, cherries, ect. Nobody knows why he can't drain fruit that have pit-seeds in them, but then again nobody ever asked.
Power: He drinks animal blood & fruit juice as well as become a dragon when the occasion calls for it. He can withstand the sunlight and tolerate the heat. Telekinesis is used at certain times, but only if he chooses.
Rival: Balthier. Got tricked into draining a fruit that had a pit in it.
Other: He remembers very little of what he was in the outside world. All he could remember was waking up surrounded by strangers and his name. His memory is all fogged up since he awakened, but currently he's keeping his curiousity to himself in hope of finding answers with the help of his newfound friends.

Name: Camilla "Kami" Marazzi

Age: 17

Gender: F

Race: She has no clue, and neither does anyone else (weird powers).

Appearance: Kami is tall, about 5'11", and has a graceful, willowy build. She has light blonde hair that falls to the middle of her back, which she usually keeps in a ponytail or a braid. She has pale gray eyes and a wide smile, and her face and nose are sharp and angular. She has pale (but not ashen) skin, and a few odd tan lines, mostly on her feet, from sandals. She likes to wear tees, tank tops, jeans, and cargo shorts, and she has a meteorite necklace that she almost never takes off.

Personality: Kami is a doer. She's game for almost anything, and she finds it extremely hard to back down from a challenge. She's sporty and competitive, and likes to be out in front, in the thick of things. She knows her limits, but she isn't afraid to push herself past them. She's very confident in herself, and in a way, she's almost blind to danger. She has a knack for physics, and she'll sometimes tell nerdy jokes just to confuse people. She's caring toward others, but she can be selfish when it comes to her friends. She'll risk her life (and other people's lives) for the people she loves, and she doesn't always like sharing them with others. She speaks her mind, which can make her enemies quite easily, and she won't hesitate to shove people out of her way (figuratively and literally).

Power: Kami can control particles and fields--protons, electrons, atoms, antimatter, gravity, magnetism, etc. She has almost complete control over the physical universe, although creating powerful fields drains her energy quite quickly. Depending on what she's doing, she may eat an extra thousand calories to keep from passing out.

Rival: Rayah

Other: Up for love, straight.

Name: Anzu

Age: 18

Gender: M

Race: Half-Demon

Appearance: Anzu is an average looking person, the type you wouldn't remember from a crowd. He has an amiable face, with brown hair and deep brown eyes that always seem to be twinkling with something new. He dresses simply, in jeans and plain t-shirts, and stands at just under 6 feet.

Personality: Anzu is a sociable creature, though one who prefers to listen rather than talk. He enjoys training with the others, his natural resistance to fire making him a safer target than others for training with Draco and Rayah. Though he has a quiet nature, he has a wicked sense of humour, liking to make the others jump by emerging from shadows unexpectedly and pranking them in other ways on a regular basis.

Anzu does not have a confrontational attitude, rarely choosing to raise his voice or resort to violence. However, his irritation shows easily, and he has short patience for those who annoy him, choosing to either ignore them, mock them or plot revenge silently behind their back.

He has a tendency to use his powers to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, liking to observe those around him and know everything that is going on. Within the town he often appears overly suspicious, always looking behind him in order to catch sight of the people who have entrapped them in Summit.

Power: Anzu's powers lay in shadows; he can become invisible with a thought and blends easily into the darkness unless actively willing to be seen. He can also teleport very short distances. He is resistant to fire and able to create a misty shadow that blocks out most light.

Rival: Though he has never expressed any dislike, he has a strong distrust of Chase, and generally seems quite wary around him.

Other: Up for love

We are starting.

Balthier

Today was one of those days, had to be considering I had just finished a job I found my self in Hawaii an island or two from the mainland of it all. I was there following the winds wherever they had taken me, taking a ship and getting hired on to reunite a couple that had gotten separated by some nasty beasts it had taken me a few days to track down the wife, but sure enough I had done it. I had told the couple that my services were free of charge, but minutes after the job was completed, I had been knocked over the head by someone from behind me. Turns out my job was only getting started, I find myself waking up to two people, a man and a woman. For a second I thought it was the couple I had just helped, but I was wrong I groan in pain as I had a splitting headache. I sat up holding the spot that was hit as I awoke, I shake my head unsure of where I was.

"Owww my aching head, who's the bloody bloke who struck me from behind?" I ask looking at the two.

"We don't know, but your head is bandaged." The girl replied.

"Are you alright?" The guy asked.

I nodded as I slowly stood up still holding my head, I look at the two. The guy looked like he was a little over twenty, the girl looked close to about thirteen. I myself was eighteen, I shake back the pain in my head as I dust myself off and checking if I had everything. My the smell of everything, I knew I wasn't in Hawaii anymore, if anything I was out in the middle of no where.

"Well then, you two want to tell me how I got from Hawaii to, where ever I am." I ask.

"Your in summit, a town surrounded by a mountain range with a lake nearby. I'm Mikayla and this is Chase." Mikayla said.

Mikayla

For whatever reason, Chase drags me out of bed just after nightfall and towards the mountains. I don't question him, or remember doing so, as I rub the sleep from my eyes and watch as he searches the rock face for something.

"It was here before, I swear it," he mutters to himself, "But not anymore..."

I just huff a sigh and set a hand on my hip, giving him one of my "You better not have gotten me up for nothing" looks. Shifting on his feet, he takes a deep breath and looks around. I shake my head and turn to go home just as we hear rustling nearby, groaning. I look back at Chase and ignore the warning of caution in his eyes, heading off towards the noise.

"Kay, what are you doing?" he whispers.

I ignore him and freeze when I find a body laying in the middle of the field, bleeding from his head. Chase swears when he reaches my side and takes a step closer, checking the guy's vitals. Before he can say anything, I run home and grab a roll of bandages to wrap up the stranger's head. Upon returning, I shove Chase aside and tend to the wound.

"I've never seen him before..." I mutter, "How did he get past the mountains?"

Chase stays silent, watching, and pulls me away when the guy starts to stir. We freeze as he looks up at us and wait for him to say something, anything. He just sits up, holding his head.

"Owww my aching head, who's the bloody bloke who struck me from behind?" he asks.

"We don't know, but your head is bandaged," I reply.

"Are you alright?" Chase asks.

The guy nods and stands, still looking at us. He appears around Chase's age...maybe older. I watch as he dusts himself off and checks himself for something.

"Well then, you two want to tell me how I got from Hawaii to, where ever I am?" he asks.

"Your in summit, a town surrounded by a mountain range with a lake nearby. I'm Mikayla and this is Chase," I introduce.

"Where's Hawaii?" Chase asks.

I glance at him, not wanting him to speak at all, and shake my head at the question. Hawaii's one of the outside places, right? I mean... It could be. We don't know...

"Ignore my brother," I tell the guy, "You hit your head pretty hard...whatever happened. We'll save the questions for when you're rested. Just...what's your name?"

"Balthier," the guy answers.

I nod and cross my arms.

"Well, Balthier, why don't you just - "

Someone else shows up, causing Chase to scowl, before I can finish, followed by a few others as well.

Draco Nemesis

I looked at the one who woke up as I slowly sucked the juice out of an apple. He looked around my age, but I couldn't tell. Some of the others were staring at me because I was draining an apple the same way I would drain a rat. I didn't mind that. I found myself able to suck juice from fruit as well as blood from animals, which was a shock that took a while to get used to. I unlatched from the apple, held it in one hand, and smiled a little. "I'm Draco Nemesis, but you can call me Drake if you want to."
The awakened boy raised his brow at me. "What's with the fangs?"
I smiled broadly, not bothering to hide my fangs. "I'm a vampire-dragon. Don't think I'll drink your blood. I do drink blood, but only animal blood. Other times, I drink fruit juice from the fruit of my choosing." I resumed draining my apple and walked away.
Mikayla chuckled a little. "He normally doesn't say much. Usually he says one word and walks away like that. You're lucky to get a lot of sentences from him."
I paid no attention to all this. After fully draining the apple, I gathered up some blackberries in a basket as a late night snack for later.

Rayah

Sighing, I lean against the wall as a newcomer arrives. Wait...If he got in...There must be a way out...

I walk closer, standing beside him as I do. Chase glances at me just as Draco walks away and I glance up at him too before looking back down at the boy, something oddly familar about him. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Then he says his name. Balthier. Ah!

I flash my award winning smile before holding my hand out, "Rayah. I believe we are half siblings...?"

He nods and shakes my hand, flashing a smile back. I pull back quickly, not wanting to get the memo he's safe just yet, and glance around at the others. Mikayla glances at me and I scowl, looking away. Something about her isn't worth my time. I then look back at her brother, "Do you think others are coming?"

He shrugs and I sigh, glancing around again, seeing another person walk towards us.

Anzu

I join the group warily, curious to see what had managed to awaken us all. Ignoring the others to begin with, I peer into the centre of the huddle to see a boy who seems about my age, and has a certain resemblance to Rayah. As she catches my querying look at the two of them, she nods, beaming. "Meet my brother!" she announces cheerily, amending herself after. "Well... half-brother, technically."

I nod slowly, reaching forward to shake his hand. "Anzu," I say by means of introduction, and he replies with a firm nod, though his eyes betray his confusion.

"Balthier," he says, then hesitates. "It's great to meet you all and everything, but what is this place?! What happened to Hawaii?"

His question is met with a mixture of blank expressions and avoidant gazes. Mine is one of the latter, as I try to understand how this man has gotten here. The five of us are more than aware that this place is impossible to escape, so how can it be that he has arrived so suddenly? My gaze meets Chase's, whose grim expression matches mine. Though I hardly have much trust for him, I know he must have realised the significance of what it means for Balthier to have been brought here.

This place is a prison for people like us, we were both certain now. What if all of us had been kidnapped in the same way, too long ago for us to remember?

Kami

At first, I didn't notice the new guy. He was surrounded by the others, after all. I figured one of them had seen an interesting bug, or something. Being cooped up in the same place year after year makes people easy to amuse. When none of them came back, though, I started to take a little more interest. I looked over at the group, trying to see what was so entertaining. That was when I realized there was an extra person.

I jumped up and ran over. We hadn't gotten anyone new in, like, forever. Anzu was just introducing himself when I got there. It was a guy--a guy with the creepiest white eyes I'd ever seen. "Hey," I said. "I'm Kami. And you are?"

"Balthier," he answered, shaking my hand.

"My half-brother," Rayah added.

"Yeah, that's great," I muttered. "So Balthier...um...how did you get here? I mean, you can't have just appeared...I can't even do that..."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Balthier asked suspiciously.

"Conservation of matter," I said. "I should just shut up, shouldn't I?"

Balthier

I stand there not sure what to do, the group of people that had surrounded me were weird and I was not accustom to being in a new region so soon. I look around as I see something wrong, very wrong.

"Well the last thing I remember, was that I had just finished a job, reuniting a couple who had got separated from each other. I had to use some of my power to freeze the water in place to get to the other isle in a hurry. But once the job was done, some bloody bloke knocked me over the head, next thing I knew these two had found me." I said pointing to the obviously two twins.

I look at the whole group as tho they didn't understand a word I just said, I think to myself for a second. And understand whats going on here, I had some loose ends to tie up the second I get out of here. I had to find a way out, I looked to the dragon for help.

"Hey, overgrown gecko, how about flying us all out of here." I said.

"Can't, I have holes in my wings no flying for me." He said sneering at me.

"Wonderful, we have a big toothed overgrown gecko who can't even fly. Just wonderful." I said.

Draco Nemesis

I bared my fangs at Balthier. "Don't call me an overgrown gecko. Insult me again and you're going the right way for a clawed face and a tail-whipped bottom. I can't fly not just because my wings are damaged, but also because I don't have a clue as to how high those mountains are. I have a name, you know. I just told you my name. The name is Nemesis, Draco Nemesis. Remember that." I climbed a tree to retrieve a large apple. Still above the ground and with the apple in my hand, I sank my fangs into it and slowly drank from the apple, savoring the flavor of a fresh sweet apple.
