From Above
This is not a gentle world.
Then again, it never was.
Then again, it never was.
Though the organization Radiance maintains peace on the sky city Vivarion, those dictated unworthy are forced to live on the floating island’s underbelly- the Grey zone.
There, the city is rife with energy- anxious youths itching for freedom and fighting one another in order to thinly grasp at some pre-established sense of purpose.
Live. Fight. Die.
These are the iron rules of the new world. They hold true for some more than others. In the Grey zone, everyday life
And then there are the Abhorrents. Beings with the appearance of man but with powers that threaten the stability of Radiance and all it stands for.
One day, you discover you are one of these Abhorrents.
Whisked away and sent to the surface, you discover the cruel truth behind Vivarion and the lies Radiance has fed you since the moment of your birth.
The surface is indeed habitable. But only by those strong enough to survive the decaying metropolises of long lost civilizations and the monsters that lurk there. Other Abhorrants, each like yourself thrive within the darkness - gifted with extraordinary speed and strength as well as other unique abilities.
A battle system where the winner gets to survive and the loser is left to starve.
Rewards for destroying the deformed Beta creatures that roam the city's outskirts.
And all are ruled by Regis, master of this strange domain- a figure shrouded in mystery.
From Below
Things are unchanging here in the shadows.
But maybe it is better that way.
Every day is a challenge- at any moment you could be the next body to grace the sky with ash, no more than a smudge beneath the vastness of clouds and grime.
This is how it has always been.
The only way to survive in this world is to fight to become the strongest. The more battles you win, the better the perks. If you fail to succeed, you will disappear along with the innumerable masses. It is a dog eats dog world, but its the only world you've ever known.
Live.FightDie
These are the rules that govern this fragile excuse for a society, and no one is above these laws. All are equal in life as they are in death- the Regis is not one to take pity on the weak.
And yet, within this endless grey, something seems to be changing, and a sense of doom hangs in the air. Will you be able to survive the oncoming storm?
Live.
A new world, a new life thrust upon you. Only challenges lie ahead.
Fight.
Abhorrents run rampant here, some stronger than others. Survival means being the strongest.
Die.
But, if you’re lucky, you might still have a chance at survival.

RULES
*Please send me your profile before posting to the storybook.
*LANGUAGE IS ALLOWED, however, only if the later part of the curse is starred, as to be respectful of other readers
*Please, no sexual content. Kissing, hugging, holding hands- that's all well and good. BUT SEXUAL CONTENT OF ANY SORT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
*No God-moding. For each character's ability, there should be a draw back. In other words, the stronger the ability, the more qualifications it should require to be able to use it.
*The DT is your friend. Once we get a few submissions for the storybook, I will create a DT thread where we can discuss our plans for the storybook. A good DT can make or break a story, so please make use of it. Your opinion is valued.
*I will leave the length of each post up to you, but please do not post twice in a row. The general rule will be one in two- you can post again only after two other authors have submitted. That way, everyone has an opportunity.
*HAVE FUN!
