Welcome to Gaia! ::

It has been centuries since humans have discovered space travel. It first began with trips just outside of earth, then to the moon, and finally to other planets. In the year 3000 humans have developped enough technology to travel to other galaxies. There they have found other civilizations, some that have become their allies, and others who have become their enemies.

It is now the year 4005, and the human reign of the universe is quickly drawing to a close. With more and more people turning against the humans, it was bound to happen sometimes. But let me assure you that they won't go down without a fight...

The Characters

Gaia Name: argentum.dea
Character Name: Alumit Devereux
Race: Malaiin
Age: 19
Sex: female
Personality/Bio: Alumit is fun to be around. She is pleasant and joyful for the most part, however she gets annoyed very easily. She is determined to get the job done and not get caught doing it. People who constantly complain piss her off royaly. She is very good at acting inconspicuous and innocent. Alumit was born and raised on the planet Sanë, home of the Malaiin. Like many of the Malaiin, she demonstrated exceptional skills in hand-to-hand combat, as well as tracking and maneouvering herself in tricky terrain. She was able to jump higher than any of the other species as well as see in the dark.

When Alumit turned 16 she was caught in between the Malaiin and the humans trying to take over Sanë. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, she was sent to jail on suspisions of treason against the humans. After she was let out, she had made friends with the said Malaiins and now travel between the galaxies with them. They are convicts who harbour escape convicts and steal from the rich, alias Space Pirates.

Weapon: gold plated uzi's and dagger
Side: neutral
Class/Job: outlaw/space pirate
Appearance: Alumit stands at about 5'6". She has an athletic build, however is very curvacious and has quite a large bust. She has an oval shapped face, with almond shaped eyes, full lips and a normal sized nose. Her hair is usually a blackish-brown with assorted highlights, or else it's dyed in whichever colour she feels like. It is usually worn down, or in a half pony tail. Her eyes are hazel (green/blue and have a ring of "rust" around the pupil), and change with her mood (green negative, blue positive...sometimes the orange ring takes up most of her iris, showing that she is very irate). But enough about her eyes. Her skin is tanned, but you rarely ever see it since she usually covers herself in a long dark coloured cloak. Her usuall attire consists of a plain white shirt(button down, and too big for her), baggy pants tucked into knee high leather boots. Her fingers, neck, wrists and ears are usually adorned with jewelery, and she wears a large leather belt around her waist. On her hips, she carries her guns, and she has a dagger in each boot, aswell as one in those "nifty contraptions that attach to your wrist that you can put stuff in". (as you can see, I have absolutely NO idea what they're called, but if you've seen Shangai Knights, the english bad guy had one that held his "mini-gun"). Also, she has a set of "dressy" clothes for..."special occasions"

Gaia Name: jlynn518
Character Name: Tonde Kimochi (Tonde: Fly)
Race: Alterrian
Age: 55
Sex: Female
Personality/Bio:
Ever given candy to a little kid and loaded them into your rusty van? Tonde is that child. She was raised in a temple under the worship of Aenaina, a female goddess. Her parents gave her as an offering to the temple the same day that the goddess Aenaina chose to take it from the grips of Aitaina, her twin brother. The powers doing combat with each other on the holy grounds brought the real world into that of the spirits, and Tonde along with them. The baby watched in awe until hungry, and it is said that her starved cries marked the end of the fight. Whatever the reason for its end, Aenaina was left with the temple, and she brought the infant back with her into the world of substance. Had she been of age the goddess would have left her in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the temple, but she wasn't, so Aenaina put her in the charge of the first true priestess to flock to her cause.

Since that day, Tonde has been cared for as if she were the goddess. Had she known better, the small child might have found it odd that there were servants to do bidding in everything, or that she was not allowed to leave the temple grounds unless she was "needed". Her prayers to her goddess rarely went unanswered, and this was used to great advantage by the shrewd priestess to had taken over, seeking favor from old diplomats by using the child to heal their pained joints and waning sight.

Now nearing the time that she would be put in charge of the temple -60- it has become obvious that Tonde, while a pure soul untainted by the outside world, is unfit for affairs in the world of flesh and blood. She is being sent away from her home with two warnings from her sisters (for the entire temple is female): beware of evil, and beware of men. Both will lead to "impurity".
Weapon: A simple wooden staff topped with a blue crystal the size of her thumb nail.
Side: Good
Class/Job: Cleric
Appearance: A simple, willowy girl with dirty blonde hair and green eyes.

Gaia Name: jlynn518
Character Name: Li Batte
Race: Human
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Personality/Bio:
Li was born different. Other boys played baseball while he practiced smashing a radio to bits and piecing it together again. Other boys tied plastic bags to a cat's feet and watched it try to shake them off, while he was the one tying bottle rockets to the cat's feet to see it shake them off. And other boys didn't actively search out their mates for fights.

So it was only natural for Li to turn as a "real" boy. At twenty-four he had already joined the army and found them too stiff for his tastes. He liked the combat, but the rest of it was too dull for him to pay attention to. Rather than be marked as a deserter and arrested he had left and gone to Alterria, more as a mistake than anything (he'd tried stowing away on a ship to Sanë, but stowing away is tougher than it seems).

Now that he was there, though, he was making the best of things. "rumor had it" (meaning, he'd eaves dropped on several conversations) that the "daughter of Aenaina" (whoever the hell that was) was leaving the temple so that she might learn of the "real world" (meaning, the rest of Alterria) and better serve her faith. Since it had been the topic of seven different discussions he'd listened in on, Li considered this girl to be important. And, if she were important, that meant a big reward for anyone who "recovered her" (obviously after kidnapping her). Why, the reward might even be larger if she were rescued on another planet!

Thus, Li had found a good reason for coming to Alterria. Now all he needed was a ship...
Weapon: Unarmed (for now).
Side: Neutral
Class/Job: Mercenary
Appearance:



Gaia Name: Glein
Character Name: Dion Zeromus
Race: Dragonian
Age: 57
Sex: Male
Personality/Bio: Dion has always been the calm one, even though his people have been known to fly into a blindrage at what could be considered a rude glance, yet Dion never had that rage. He is able to think most things though whilst doing them, but he isn't perfect, so he makes mistakes doing it sometimes. He is extremly hard to defeat in battle, not only because of the natural defences of a Dragonian, but also because of his gear. However, you'd think he'd load it over people, but he is quite humble about his skills.

Gaia Name: Miles Archer
Character Name: Harkon Devris
Race: Human
Age: 29
Sex: male
Personality/Bio: Harkon is a man of principles. One of those tends to be, "shoot first and ask questions later". He is a man of few words, but always manages to add in his piece to a conversation. While quiet, he isn't aloof or distant. His knowing eyes and ever present smirk betray a lively individual who's not afraid to have a good time. He was brought up on a ship, a small freighter, as a grease monkey and hired gun. He learned many things during that time and quickly developed a sense of fierce independence. The crew on that freighter were the only family he ever knew, and when they perished in a freak accident, he silently cursed himself for not being there to help. Since then, he's put the past behind him, but behind his manic grin and twinkling eyes is a grief-stricken man, one who longs for the comfort of his big sister's arms, just one last time.

Side: Whoever offers him more money
Class/Job: mercenary
Appearance: Harkon is tall, tanned, and muscular, but more lean than bulky. He wears his red hair short, and his beard is well-groomed and regularly trimmed. He wears a blue and brown leather jacket, and spacer's pants tucked into calf-length boots.
