Plot: The year is 2011. Things on Earth are becoming unstable. There are more earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural disasters happening now than there ever was before. It seems the world is falling apart--at least, to the Humans.

Meanwhile, the same unrest is affecting the other Realms--Alamea, Ilátoria and the Light. Plants and animals are dying, creatures are going insane--as are some Elves and Immortals. War threatens, and there is no intention of it stopping any time soon. Even in the garden that is the Light, things are falling to darkness and death; the brightness is failing, the light dimming.

What would possibly be going wrong? It seems that the realms, unconnected until now, are starting to merge, starting to unbalance everything. Slowly, so slowly, but so surely, there are rifts opening. As the lines between the realms blur, other...things are starting to drift through the cracks--to Earth. Creatures, beings that don't belong to our realm are invading, slipping through with every passing moment...

You are from one of the realms--Earth, Alamea, Ilátoria or The Light--and have found yourself suddenly on Earth, in one of the other realms or stuck in The Void. Who--or what--are you and just where do you stand? And what does the crazy old man have to do with the so-called 'quest' to save the realms and correct the balance? And just how are you meant to do that?

One thing is for sure--if the realms were to merge completly, it could only mean disaster. And the destruction of the universe as we know it. Are you up to the challenge?

Realms:
Earth; Our world. The world of humans. The Earth we know today. Earth is something like a barrier between the other realms, which crowd in on it on four sides. Although there is a dark side to Earth, there is also brightness--but the balance is barely tilted towards the good, and not the bad. Those who finds themselves here are truly blessed--or lucky--and have no need to fear the dark....unless they realise that the dark is what mankind is truly capable of. The darkest of Human sins.

Alamea; Realm of Elves, a race the Humans thought to be fantasy. Alamea, roughly half the size of the Earth continent of Australia, is mainly covered in forest with a scattering of grasslands, steppes, mountainous terrain and sorching deserts. The beauty of Alamea takes one's breath away. But beware--there's more than Elves lurking in the furtherest reaches of this realm. There are darker beings hiding in Alamea, but the Elves tend to help those in need; they are kind creatures. Those who find themselves here may just start wishing that they were back home....or lost forever.

Ilátoria; Realm of Immortals, beings that are almost impossible to kill. Beware the Prince and Princess--they are the cruelest of all the Immortals, but don't despair. There is kindness to be found here. Just don't attract the attention of the Royalty--they are oath-bound to destroy intruders...from whatever realm they may have come from. Those who find themselves here are indeed lucky---if they can stay under the Prince and Princess's radar, so to speak.

The Light; A place where there is no darkness and no evil. Very much like 'heaven'. The Light is a garden, beautiful and spacious...with high walls surrounding it. It's not a prision, but it's not open to just anyone either. The beings that live here are 'pure'and 'sacred'. To even think about harming them is taboo, but neither are they helpless--or harmless. Appearences can be decieving. Those who find themselves here are the lucky ones...or the not so lucky, depending on one's point of view...

The Void; Also known as the Realm of Shadows. The Void is a palce of nothingness, almost like an aybss or oobliette of some kind. There is, quite literally, nothing there but blackness and empty space. Those that find themselves unlucky enough to be here are also there to be forgotten--the lost, the wandering. Those who have disappeared from the other realms--some can be found here...if they are still alive when retrieved from the darkness.

[b]Up For Love?[/b]

[b]Other:[/b]

Name: Joanna (Joe) Lee

Age: Looks about 20, but she's really 110. Roughly.

Gender: Female

Race: Immortal

Home Realm: Ilatoria

Appearance:

Personality: Joe -Despite being very female- insists on being called a male. She even goes to the extent of bandaging down her breasts to look more manly. Only her brother knows she is a she. Since she has a man's mind, she doesn't normally indulge in lady like tendencies (no matter how much she wants too). She has already throughly convinced everyone else she is male.

She demands the upmost respect and expects people to do things right the first time. She can get very defensive when questioned. She is a true leader at heart. Although sometimes she can be distracted.

When it comes to love, she has a habit of trying to hide all infatuations. Because back in their time a man and a man (Seeing as she is disguised as a man) would be highly frowned upon and she refuses to give in to her female body.

History: Joanna and her brother were born into poverty, and their father died of a sickness not long after her birth.Joanna's mother left right after her birth, so her older brother was forced to take care of her.

They quickly broke into the assassinating business after Joanna killed a man who tried to mug her. That's when they discovered the effects of black magic.

On one job, they were after a cultist. Just as it seemed they were winning he cast a black magic spell on Joanna, taking a piece of her mind. Over time, she would die, and it would be a slow and painful death.

Her older brother gave up part of his mind to save her, but it left them mentally linked. If she wanted to live it was irreversable. Since it both made things easier on them, and made her feel more comfortable with this new half a male mind, she started desguising herself as a male. Even though, she is still very female.

Up For Love? If you find out her secret, yes

Other:

Female ~ Earth;

Name: Nerina Daniels.

Age: 17.

Gender: Female.

Race: Human.

Home Realm: Earth.

Appearance: Nerina has long, black hair, pale green-brown eyes and is about 5'9 in height. Her skin is pale and she is slim and athletic She can be ruthless on occasion.


Personality: Despite her somewhat hostile first impression, Nerina is actually kind, loving, caring, smart, determined, loyal and fierce, though sometimes easily distracted. She hates to see those she cares about hurt and can get really defensive if someone she likes is harmed, but be warned; if you start asking questions about her past, she’ll often shut down and just not talk if you bring up anything to do with her family, and if she doesn’t shut down, she’s get mad—really mad. And a mad Nerina is a rare sight, not to mention the fact that she's a water bender and hasn't told anyone-this is not a good thing, either.

Her downfalls are her short temper and those who try to pry into her past. She’s quiet and thoughtful more often than not and thinks a lot before speaking or doing something. Nerina likes to plan things out, if she can, and dislikes when her plans are thoroughly screwed up by stupid mistakes. And she has made a few mistakes in the past, and dislikes when this is pointed out. She also hates being called helpless or a coward—it’s another downfall of hers.

Sometimes she may have a blank, cold and uncaring edge to her expression, like she’s lost all emotion or just doesn't give a damn about the rest of the world. This is because she's feeling sad and/or remember her family or her past, which is a very sad topic for her. It's best to stay out of her way when she's upset.

History: Nerina's childhood was some-what normal and empty. Her parents died when she was young and she was adopted by her Aunt, who married a millionaire. They treated her like their own child, since they couldn't have any of their own. She got into trouble a lot, and fights too, but didn't care. She was good at that--trouble, that is. And she liked it; liked coming home with bruises and cuts and sometimes a new tattoo or piercing---but never where her aunt or uncle could see them.

Up For Love? Yes.

Other: For some reason, this too-big wolf-like thing has been following her. And she can hear it's thoughts---but only when directed at her. Has two tattoos; one on her stomach near the hip and one on her shoulder blade. Hip is a rose, shoulder blade is ankh. Her ears have been pierced several times.

Male ~ Alamea:

Name: Khalid Seóras.

Age: Looks around 21 | 359 Elven years.

Gender: Male.

Race: Elf.

Home Realm: Alamea.

History:

Up For Love? Sure.

Other:

Name: Cameron

Age: 120345 in Human (18 in Angel)

Gender: Male

Race: Lost Angel

Home Realm: The Void (formerly the Light)

Appearance:

Personality: Cameron's mind is warped after spending half of his life lost in eternal darkness. His former spry awareness and good friendly nature have withered down to a cold resent and detachment. He used to be loyal and trustworthy, but now paranoia makes him not trust himself. However, underneath the bleak and barren exterior a sliver of hope remains, if someone spends the time to get to know him.

History: Cameron lived for the first half of his life in Light, as an Angel. He was born to an aristocratic family that managed the gardens of Light's Capital, so from an early age he developed an intense love for plants. Social classes or judging were unheard of in Light, so making friends was easy for him and due to his ability to allow his friends play in the gardens he became slightly more popular than average, so when the Void opened near his favorite tree he was severely missed.

During his early life in the Light, he developed a connection with visual arts, and showed potential as both a Painter and a Sketcher. He was also blessed with the uncommon ability to animate his drawings, and bring them to life temporarily.

He was nine when he wandered into the Void, and was severely affected by the lack of company, plants and most of all Light. For another long nine years he wandered through darkness, fighting off other Lost Souls and the warped monstrosities of the Void.

Up For Love? If you can break him, yes. Straight.

Other: Powers: He can talk to plants, and can bring images to life.

Name: Aryorran

Age: 23 appearnace, 170 actual

Gender: Female

Race: Elf

Home Realm: Alamea

Appearance: Her eyes are pale green, almost white.



Personality: Aryorran is a very secluded Elf, she keeps to herself and rarely ever talks. This leads to people not liking her, and she turns even more into herself. But this doesn't stop people watching her, she seems to walk with an ethereal grace and her earth affinity makes flowers and gardens spring up wherever she steps. This astounds some and other just don't talk about it. If anyone gets close to her, they will see that her eyes can hold knowledge beyond her years. People don't look into her eyes because they are afraid that she will see into their soul and judge them.

History: Aryorran has two wonderful parents who have brought her up, and now they resent her. Her eyes and abilities have cause her to be a burden to them rather than a blessing. So she has had to live on her own for most of her life. She built a small modest house near a waterfall and is living the life of a hermit.

Up For Love? Yes, if you can solve her

Other: Aryorran has a book of sketches that she fills her time with, she carries it in a small satchel on her back.

History:

Up For Love? Maybe, although love isn't something that takes up much of his thoughts

Other:

Name: Carter James McRoy

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Home Realm: Earth

Appearance: Carter has long, scraggly-looking brown hair and an odd shade of blue-gray eyes. He stands around 5'11", and is in all honesty a bit on the scronny side - not that you can blame him. The only strong-looking part of his body are his legs. He often has a very focused look on his face, or, at times, a odd smirk. The latter is his "I-have-a-plan" face, and it's very easy to recognize. He doesn't usually just smile for the sake of smiling - if he smiles, it's a stupid grin, his little smirk or a smile that says sick fascination.


Personality: Carter isn't what you'd expect from the Canadian stereotypes. He's far from shy, and even further from being polite or hospitable. He's got an awful attitude problem coupled with rage issues and an over-all "it doesn't matter to me" attitude. It would seem that he doesn't care about anyone or anything. Except for himself. He comes off as extremely cold, selfish, and a bit on the greedy side. He has no interest in women whatsoever, nor does he have an interest in men. Or, that's what it seems like anyways. He's been known to flirt before, but he's never gone far enough to get anything out of anybody. He just likes messing with peoples' heads.
If you talk to him, any response you get will either be cold and serious, or cold and sarcastic - it all depends on what you said to him and what mood he's in.
Night is the only time Carter ever really changes his attitude. The coldness melts a way a bit, and he tends to lay in whatever grass he can find and stare at what little stars are visible behind the city lights. He's more open at night, and it's easier to see the "soft side" of Carter. Night is also the only time he can tolerate company, even going as far as to long for somebody to share his interest in the stars.
He does have a soft side, it's just near impossible to get to. If you manage, chances are he'll be extremely loyal - and he'll lean on you. A lot. Carter's deepest secret is that sometimes he wonders why he even lets himself live - people assume he cares about himself and that's it - truth is, he doesn't care about anything, including himself.

History: Carter is Canadian-born - and he wasn't born into wealth. His father didn't stick around, and his mother turned to drugs and alcohol shortly after he was born. He was part of the foster-care system as a child, and went up for adoption when he hit twelve. Nobody took him in permanently, and his record was twelve homes in twelve days - he spent the night with one family, and then was moved in with another one. The twelfth family decided to adopt him, but there were complications. Before the adoption could be finished, the father of the family died and the judge refused to sign the papers.
It was the only place Carter had ever felt at home with - his cold attitude was too much for most of the families. There were some who tried, and others who took him in for the benefits they got - the government's money.
He was seventeen - he had stayed with the family for four years by then, and had grown very attached to his "little sister," Hannah. She was twelve when he left, and leaving her was the hardest part for him.
The next family he went to was an old, cranky couple and their pet dog, Nix. The couple hated him, and he hated them - but loved their dog. He took the mutt and ran, and he's been on the streets ever since. Nix died last year, but not before having a batch of puppies. Carter kept one, and sold the rest of a little cash. He's managed to get himself a job at a local gas station in Toronto, Ontario, and when he can, he sneaks into skyscrapers and makes his way up to the roofs at night. There's one in specific that he likes - and that's where he keeps all of his stuff. There's a man there who's willing to hide his stuff, and help him bring it up at night - as long as Carter doesn't stay in his house, and the man gets half of his already-small salary, he's Carter's "best friend." (He's a forty-seven year old dentist named Gregory Waters.)

Up For Love? Good luck with that one.

Other: The puppy he kept is a female named Hannah, after the sister he "lost." He keeps a backpack of his valuable things with him at all times (he doesn't trust Gregory with his personal possessions as far as he can spit) - An old rag-doll that Hannah decided to give him before he left, an old tennis racket from Hannah's mother (He hates the sport - despises it actually, but he can't bring himself to get rid of the racket), a guitar book from Hannah's father, a watch he stole from the old couple he was last with, among other little things and a very small amount of money. Gregory doesn't even know he has the dog - Carter keeps her hidden in an old shed behind a house nobody lives in a few blocks down.

Name: Aleyda Sarel

Age: 19 in appearance | 274 in Elven years.

Gender: Female

Race: Elf

Home Realm: Alamea

Appearance:

Personality: Aleyda is a sweet and sometimes too trusting young woman; her great weakness is that she is too naive for her own good. A girl still holding onto her childhood, Aleyda has great compassion for the weak and innocent, stepping in to help whenever she sees them afflicted. She is too optimistic, however, and is easily cheated. Her hobbies including reading and experimenting with odd potions. She also tends to be rather unabashedly childish. Aleyda dreams of travelling out into the world.

History: The only child of High Lord Sarel, Aleyda has been sheltered from the outside world since she was born. As a lonely girl, she often found comfort in the companionship of servants, a trait she still holds on to now, much to her parents' dismay. It is also the reason she aspires to becoming a healer instead of taking her father's place in politics, also another thing her family doesn't like. Aleyda is a free spirit, having rejected the many courtiers she has had and continuing to do so.

Up For Love? Yes - if you can break through her flightiness.

Other: Nothing at the moment.

Hey I'm sorry but I can't do his anymore: got a bad term grade and parents are cracking down on my schooling.

Name- Alyssa Monroe Jones

Age- 20 1/2 But she is still pretty mature.

Race-Human

Home Realm- Earth

Appearance- She is about 5'7" with small hips and an even smaller waist.

Personality- She's very closed off. She does not judge people, she is never mean, and she is extremely loyal. But she prefers to not let you in. If she finds the right person she will, but it is very rare. She can be sarcastic at times. She is painstakingly honest, but very good at lying. She has this sort of honesty that people think is weird. She has a lot of pent up emotion that is always in the back of her mind. And sometime soon she is going to crack. She has a weakness for rabbits and pina coladas. She is a very fast runner and can probably beat almost anyone, though she has very low upper body strength. She is a real softy inside and can't help but loving the people who have an inclanation to be decietful, cruel, and mean. She thinks that it was her fault that her parents got hooked on drugs even though it is completely ridiculous.

History- Alyssa was born into a very poor family. She grew up in a tiny house in the poorest part of New York City. When she was 11 her mother and father became hooked on drugs. They began hurting her. Torturing her even. She had no idea what they were taking but at some point her mother had to keep up with her addiction and become a prostitute. In two months she followed her better judgement and took her parents to a rehab center. She had always gotten far above average grades in school, therefore she got a half-scholarship to an exclusive school. A foster family took her in and cared for her; an elderly couple who were very kind to her. She graduated high-school with flying colors and got a full scholarship to a college in Minnesota. She became very closed off when her boyfriend, who she trusted completely, assaulted her.

Up For Love? Yes. Straight. Though under certain circumstances. They have to be a little mean at least. Actually, no, they have to hurt her multiple times before she can even begin to like them. She feels like she has to have that.

Other- This is what she looks like.

Joe

I ducked behind the tree and nodded to my brother as we approached our target. That thing didn't look like it belonged here. I placed an arrow on my bow and pulled the string tight as the little creature walked into the daylight. It didn't look as terrifying as the villagers said it was.

"Don't be so sure of yourself, little sister. Remember looks can be deceiving."

I glared back at my brother. Must he always be snooping in my mind? Sorry, our mind. It still didn't give him the right to access my thoughts without permission. He put his hands up defensively and nodded back at our target. It looked more like a rabbit over anything they had described.

"I bet it's harmless." I thought back at him.

He raised an eyebrow at it and shrugged. His thoughts were something along the lines of, 'don't say I didn't warn you'. I rolled my eyes at him and slowly walked out from around the tree towards the little creature. It looked up at me and took a wary step away.

I crouched low and held my hand out to it, showing it I meant no harm. It hopped towards me, and I shot a smug look back at my brother who stayed in the bushes like the coward he was. He shuffled out of the bush slowly. Was he still uncertain of the bunny? It was freaking harmless!

Just as he was about to say something, the rabbit jumped up at me and snapped. I shrieked and kicked the thing away from me. It jumped up at Harry, who in turn yelped and tried to throw it off of him. I loaded my arrow and told him to stay still, but of course he kept flailing like a bear in a trap.

I fired the arrow, getting the... thing through the shoulder blades. It flailed for a second before Harry took out his dagger and slipped it between the creatures ribs. It stopped struggling and went limp.

For a moment we just stayed still, catching our breath. Then we looked up at each other and chuckled nervously. That definitely wasn't what I was expecting. Harry's eyes went wide and focused on something behind me. Before I could react something was pulling me back. Sucking me in.

I looked over my shoulder to see a black hole. That was was not natural, not. Natural. Harry grabbed my arm and tried to pull me away, but the hole sucked harder then he could pull.

"Harry! Help me!" I begged as my foot reach the mouth of what seemed the end.

"I'm trying little sister, I'm trying! Don't give up on me!" he begged.

I could see the strain in his muscles as my fingers began to slip through his. I felt another wave of panic hit me. My hand slipped through his and I dug my nails into the ground. I looked up to him and let out a quick exhale. He scrambled to grab my hand before I could get sucked in. My hand slipped and I felt myself getting pulled in.

"Joanna!"

For the next... I'm not sure. Hour or so, I just felt nothing. Darkness surrounded me. Finally a thump on the ground signaled my trip was done. I coughed and peeled my eyes open to see a bright blue sky. Where was I? I rolled over and spit up on the ground beside me. Then it hit me. Harry.

"Harry? Harry! Harry!?" I cried out, as I scrambled to my feet and looked frantically around the meadow.

Aleyda | Fields in front of the Manor

"Harry! Harry! HARRY!" Aleyda watched as the strange boy in front of the manor screamed out for someone several times. He looked strange to Aleyda - he was certainly, by no means, an elf. Perhaps he was something else? Aleyda wasn't sure...after all, she didn't see much of the world at all. He stopped turning as he saw her, standing at the balcony. "Oi! Did you see my - "

He stopped, and stared at her strangely. "WHAT THE HELL?!"

Aleyda took a step back - what was with this strange creature? She bit her lip, feeling at a loss on what to do next. "Did I...do something?"

"WHAT'S WITH THOSE POINTY EARS? WHAT THE FREAKIN' - "

Aleyda ran into her bedroom and closed the balcony door behind her, feeling a tad breathless and uneasy. Why did the creature suddenly start attacking her in that way? Aleyda didn't understand. All she knew was that she had to tell someone...and quickly. She quickly ran out of her room, picking up her red coat from a hanger on the way.

"Daddy? DADDY! There's a weird creature out in the yard!"
