Aeolian Fate

]]]Story[[[

The planet of Ridge was overtaken by super-advanced technology. The economy boomed and man wanted for nothing. At least, in the prosperous countries of the world. But underlying all of this success were the countries that had been stripped of all of their resources for the “better cause”: The creation of an empire that would become the strongest power in the world. Years passed under this autocracy; the population grew to its limits, resources were exhausted, and the people were tired of their unlimited power and wanted something more. Ridge’s water and oil supply was drained.

Naturally, the leader of the world, the Yrles Empire, sought a new means to get resources. It set its sights on a small neighboring world, one that they had never set foot on but was rumored to harbor the secrets of a godly power. The Yrles Empire sent seven ships, known as the Seven Seeds, to survey the planet, called Remme. They returned bearing good news. The world had resources abound, including a vast water supply. Also, the Seeds had discovered a city centered around a sacred fountain…One that could give the drinker immortality.

The Yrles Empire wanted no bargaining. It immediately began gathering troops to start an invasion. The people of Ridge had conflicting views on this matter. Some saw it not as a way to restore their world but rather to gain more power for the empire. Hate crimes surged and the Empire’s control dwindled. Many people were forced to join the ranks of invaders; some people fought back and lost their lives. Slowly, but surely, the Empire regained control, by fear and violence. By this time the resources were vanished. People began dying from starvation all around. Despite conflict within the Yrles Empire decided to invade out of sheer desperation.

The battle that ensued was the worst Remme ever endured. The people of Remme were godly…in their strength and endurance. But they were no match for Yrles’ technology and numbers. They were crushed under the force of the Yrles Empire.

Satisfied, the Empire gradually began moving people from Ridge to Remme, and built a new center for the Empire. But their attack hadn’t gone unnoticed. An allied planet of Remme was furious. They had not gotten there in time to aid the Remmian people, but they weren’t going to let the Yrles Empire get by without a consequence.

The allied planet, Coir, mobilized and began its attack on Ridge. Not ready for another battle, the Yrles Empire began evacuating their people to Remme. Part of Coir’s army split off and began an offensive on Remme. The Yrles Empire, a coward beneath all of its power, hastily erected a shield to protect the center of the Empire. Not all of the people of Ridge had been evacuated yet. Those in space, on their way to Remme, were annihilated. Satisfied, the Coirans backed off, but tensions between Coir and the Yrles Empire remained.

Now, five years later, the planet of Ridge is a wasteland. Its cities are graveyards of broken technology. Any remaining Ridgians are on the brink of starvation, crazed by the desolation of the place, and it’s every man for himself. Because no known working technology exists on the planet, its only hope for salvation is that someday another planet will come to its aid…Or that its people could somehow create a new means of escape…

The planet Remme has been renamed Yrles, still led by the corrupt Empire of the same name. Any remaining Remmians have been enslaved or killed. The former Ridgians are constantly on the war-path, so warped by their technology that they have become but shadows of their past selves. Recently they discovered a new power on the scene, but mystery surrounds the planet and its intentions are unknown.

Coir lives in peace and prosperity, but it watches Yrles carefully. Any move by the planet is recorded. If Yrles does something drastic it could certainly mean the beginning of a new war. They have also noticed a new power on the scene, and are watching it curiously as it develops. They have suspicions that it could be a secret weapon of Yrles.

Finally, the newly discovered planet, the one surrounded by mystery…Known by its people as Halos, its motives are unknown. But this new planet could mean a closure to all past tensions and peace for the galaxy of Aeoli…or a war to end all wars.


]]]Races[[[

Ridgians – A race on the brink of extinction, they have grown harsh in their struggle for survival. Brusque and drastic, they will do whatever it takes to survive. Many have grown insane from isolation; others are blinded by dreams of escape. Some have risen up in an attempt to find a way to escape their dying world, but as the days go by their hope dwindles. They look the typical human save for their starved bodies and slit-pupil eyes. They typically have very dark skin from exposure. Some have gained animal-like qualities in their attempts at survival. Some, twisted by desperate genetics, can even take on the appearance of an animal. These are known as Brinkers, but they are very rare, and tend to lose their human qualities after a while.

Yrlese – Former Ridgians that have been changed by corruption and technology. Their technology has blended in with their previously Ridgian bodies, giving them a scary appearance. Their looks vary; some have become entirely mechanical, others have grown mechanical appendages. It all depends on the person. Regardless, they are very cold and heartless; perhaps from the cold metal that has replaced their hearts. They are extremely powerful, and emotionless to a fault.

Coirans – A peaceful race untainted by technology, they are nonetheless advanced and powerful. Rather than run by technology, their society is balanced. They have just enough technology to run their lives in relative comfort and see what goes on around them. They look the part of normal humans, but their bodies are covered in beautiful iridescent scales, the skin that shows creamy and pale, eyes light-blue and small leathery wings protrude from their backs and curved white horns from their heads. The more powerful and revered of the race are able to take on the forms of sleek, large-winged dragons. These Coirans are called Great-wings. Coirans are naturally kind-hearted, but will not let an unkind act go by unnoticed and are prone to fight back.

Remmians – A previously peaceful race that prospered on its own through prowess in magic, their world has been taken over by the Yrles Empire and forced into submission. Now mere tools for the Yrlese, they wish to regain power over their world, but it has been so tainted by evil that they are no longer able to use the magic necessary to do so. Powers suppressed, they weaken as the days go by and grow tired of their existence. They are a calm humanoid race. They have blue-grey skin and eyes absent of lids or lashes, instead with thin, film-like coverings over the eyeball. They have webbed feet and hands, with large fins protruding from their arms like wings and a fin-spike on their backs. Their noses are just two thin slits in the face, and they have fish or dolphin-like tails, and thin gills in their necks. Their ears are small holes in the sides of their heads, but are protected by fins. As they have become enslaved, some have taken on a more grave appearance, though most owners have learned to regularly water their Remmians.

Halosi – An extremely powerful race, even more powerful than the Yrlese because of their need for no technology, the Halosi are all-the-more powerful from being shrouded in mystery. Their cause is unknown, so it is not easy to assess their overall nature. It is said, however, that they can perfectly disguise themselves as any other race, and the only way to tell them apart is by their mismatched eye colors. Also, it is said that in their true form they are able to use their own bodies as efficient weapons…to the point where they can use their own bones as blades.


]]]Places[[[

Aeoli[i] – The galaxy in which these four planets are housed, it is also home to other, unknown planets yet to be discovered.

[i]Ridge – Now a barren wasteland, this large planet is known for its extremes of temperature and weather. It is so spontaneous because of the abuse it underwent when the Yrles Empire sucked out its resources and overtook the planet with man-made technologies. Most of the planet now is a desert, but there could be an untouched landmark somewhere that the remaining Ridgians have yet to find. In any case, the planet, and its people, are brutal, and only the most hardened warriors dare set foot on the place. The remaining cities are but remnants of their past and most are in ruins.

Yrles – This poor planet, previously known as Remme, has begun a process much like Ridge underwent. Its resources are being usurped, and technology has spread so wide it has grown into the very earth. Corrupt and tainted, it is a planet of power, one not so much focused on its people as its Empire. Still, it has a very large amount of water, though the Yrlese have begun to build out into that too. Some Remmian structures still remain, but most have been built over or destroyed. The sacred Remmian fountain is protected by a barrier kept up with the last of their magic, though the Yrles Empire continues to try and penetrate it.

Coir – Peaceful and prosperous, this planet is known for its comfortable climates and plentiful resources. Its cities are not built on the earth, but rather, intermingle with it. Forests have been turned into cities merely by reshaping the trunks of trees or building atop canopies. It is also home to many animals, which the Coirans love to feast on but do so in moderation. Basically, it’s a calm, peaceable world where society is untainted by outside influences.

Halos – Enveloped in mystery, information about this planet is unknown.

]]]My Bios[[[
(Use this as an example for your bio if you like. I’m not going to write a sample post because it’s my RP. xD I highly suggest you read these as my characters are quite important to the overall storyline.)

Name: Lucian Kade
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Race: Coiran: Great-wing
Planet of residence: Coir
Alliance: Coiran
Personality: Intelligent and loyal, the other Coirans bask him in praise and admiration, but he is also somewhat defiant. His father, king of North Coir, and also military commander, is a Great-wing as well. As prince, Lucian feels obligated to his country, and never hesitates in battle. Most of all, however, he follows his own whims and not what his father tells him.
Appearance: He has beautiful greenish-blue scales, his eyes light blue and piercing and his hair medium-length and also light blue. He is muscular and tall, with a rather intimidating air that probably comes from his lineage. His wings are a blue-grey, the place where they connect to his body covered in scales. White horns poke through his hair. He usually wears armor of a soldier and a cape. His weapons of choice are a curved short sword and a long pole-lance.
In dragon form, his is long and sleek, his wings large enough to cover his entire body. His haunches are muscled and strong for pushing off from the ground, and his front legs are thinner but strong, with massive claws. His horns curve back; a useful attack is a strong head-butt. His body is covered in large, sharp scales much like feathers, and his mouth is filled with razor-sharp teeth. His tail is long and thin, with a large wedged spike on the end useful for control when flying. His neck is long and thick and also lined with spikes. A large scale atop his head makes for good protection.
History: He grew up on Coir already marked with high expectations. His father, Gavril Kade, was a highly-respected military general and King of North Coir. As prince, he needed to uphold all of the greatness his father was: in battle and in leadership. But as a child his father was often away on military business, and his mother, the queen, brought him up. He soon grew tired of his father, and started to resent him for never being around. He used defiance as a means to strike back whenever his father was around, and was often rude to other members of the castle. Above all, he loved his mother, and treasured all the moments he had with at least one parent.
When the war struck between Ridge and Remme, Lucian, trained in sword and lance by his mentor, Rylan, ached for battle. When Remme was defeated and Coir decided to attack the Yrles Empire, he pleaded with his father to let him join in the fight. But his father refused, saying he’d only get in the way. Furious, Lucian secretly joined the army draft, posing as a regular citizen of Coir. He made it all the way to the front lines, where he joined the King of South Coir and his son, Wrid, in space warfare. He learned how to man a ship, and split off from the main group and shot down many a Ridgian. But then disaster struck. The Yrles Empiire had erected a shield, and Coiran forces were forced to pull back. A Ridgian ship, stranded in space, decided it was fight or die. They readied every weapon they had and aimed them at King Kade’s ship. In fright and desperation, Lucian flew in and shielded his father. His ship was destroyed, and the only way he could save himself was to change. Of course, that meant his father saw his true identity, and knew that his son had defied him.
When they returned home, his father was all-the-more distant to Lucian. He was ashamed at having his life saved, and even more ashamed that his son had disobeyed him. He remained cold and apathetic towards Lucian, treating him not as a son but as an acquaintance. Lucian grew even more resentful towards his father, to the point where he has created a rift between them. Still respected by the people of Coir, and praised for his prowess in the war (they didn’t know he wasn’t supposed to fight), he is seen as a perfect candidate for the next king. But his father doesn’t think so…

((these two aren’t finished))

Name: Clay
Age: (???) Looks to be around his mid-twenties
Gender: Male
Race: Halosi
Planet of residence: Ridge
Alliance: Neutral
Personality: Brusque and unwisely outspoken, Clay’s always likely to get himself in some kind of fight and usually comes out on top. He has a knack for getting on people’s nerves and blatantly enjoys it. Underneath his tough and slightly dense exterior is a cool-headed, tactful guy, but it takes a while even for friends to see that part of him.
Appearance: His appearance is just as brusque as his personality. His hair is short and messy, a dirty blonde, and one of his eyes is auburn, the other dark blue. His skin is tan and he’s very muscular and tall. He looks like a normal human until he begins fighting. Then it is apparent that he is definitely not human. As he is able to fight with his bones, his clothing is made of a very flexible material that can be pierced and close itself back up. He usually wears a tight tank and pants made of that material, as well as gloves or gauntlets and combat boots.
History: He woke up on Ridge 4 years ago with no memory of who he was or anything about his past. He had no name, no home, and no family; he had only the clothes on his back, made from a material he later discovered was not native to that planet. Frustrated with himself, he frequently got into fights whenever he happened to run into other people. He noticed early that none of them looked like him, and that he seemed to be fairing rather well while they were dying out. After a few weeks of drifting, people simply began calling him “The Clay Fighter” after the way he was able to reshape his body into anything he needed to fight. Amused, he started calling himself Clay.
One day, trekking through the desert aimlessly, his body became exhausted from the heat and he collapsed. He woke up inside a cave, and discovered he had been saved by a secret underground organization called Red Moon. They told him one of theirs had found him on his way through the desert and had saved his life. He then learned that Red Moon’s purpose was to somehow find a way to contact the outside world. They informed Clay of everything that had happened before he had woken up there, about the war with Remme and Coir and how the remaining Ridgians had been stranded and were now slowly dying out. Clay, lost and with nothing else to do, decided to join Red Moon on their quest, hoping that it would lead him to discover his past.
After a year he became leader of Red Moon through his prowess on the battlefield and his great leadership. They managed to build a series of tunnels through the earth, hoping to find a secret source of water above or below, and perhaps the means to create new technologies that could lead them to safety. Meanwhile, the remaining people of Ridge are growing more and more desperate and crazed, and Red Moon may become the mediator in an inner war…

Name: Rain Couler
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Remmian
Planet of residence: Yrles
Alliance: Remmian
Personality: Calm, friendly, and loyal, he’s an easy person to get along with. Naturally, that makes him an easy victim to any Yrlese bullies and a dutiful slave. He’s also very idealistic and insightful, and constantly questions whether he should be so obedient or if he should find some way to strike back against the Yrlese. In any case, he only wishes that everyone could somehow get along, and doesn’t understand the hatred in Aeoli.
Appearance: He is thin and cute, with large, clear green eyes and matching light-green, short choppy hair and bangs. His skin is a pale stormy blue, with fins on his arms, back, and head and a long, mermaid-like tail. He is short, but a very swift swimmer.
He usually wears simple clothes and a broad hat to shield his sensitive skin from the sun. An earring adorns his left ear-fin and a shell necklace decorates his gilled neck.
History: Brought up as a guardian of the sacred fountain shrine, he lived in the wealthy Remmian city of Lumerre. With his job came much teaching in magic, and he soon became quite skilled at it. He lived a calm, peaceful life, with cool summer nights spent in the shrine garden listening to crickets and gazing at the clear night sky and warm spring days crouched in prayer among the water lilies. He had a Coiran pen-pal whom he enjoyed writing to about the wonders of Remmian culture. Their planets had been allied for many years, and he secretly hoped to one day visit Coir.
Then the day came when the Yrles Empire invaded Remme. He was praying at the sacred fountain when it happened. A ship’s missiles rocked the earth, creating a crevice in the Ameen Lake that split the waters in two great waves. Rain remembers looking out towards the lake in awe, completely unaware of what was truly happening. The shrine elder ran towards him, shaking his shoulders. “Rain! It is time!”
Then he remembers running back to the shrine with the elder and retrieving two scrolls, spreading them out on the floor. He wrote “Aegis” in blood and slammed his hands on the floor simultaneously with the elder. Immediately he was drained of all energy and collapsed. A great force-field spread out before them and around the area, protecting the sacred fountain with the depths of Remmian magic. Other guardians ran forth and joined in, and slowly Rain regained his strength. With their combined powers, they were able to protect the center of Remmian culture from invading forces with a shield that remains to this day.
Now, five years later, he is a slave of the Yrles Empire, serving a small family on the edge of the capital. Thankfully, his family is not cruel, but he still wishes he were free. Each day the remainders of his magic are sucked out by the evil tainting the air, as well as the shield that still stubbornly guards the sacred fountain…

1 Coiran
4 Halosi
2 Remmian
2 Yrlese
1 Ridgian

Name: Keita
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Race: Yrlese
Planet of residence: Yrles
Alliance: Yrlese (seeing a trend...?)

Personality: Cold, quiet, and utterly militant; she is uncaring to the brink of sociopathy. The be-all and end-all is the art of war and the destruction of enemies - there is no other way of life. Well versed in the balance of tactical knowledge and brute strength, this woman has become an asset in the warmongering world of Yrles by sheer brutality.

Appearance: Like all Yrlese, Keita's looks are dominated by technological implants. She retains a more human appearance than some, but only by a small margin. Pale due to some machine or another, the female has a willowy body laced with silvered cables and black wires. Armor-like acoutrements are formed of metal over her shins, knees, hands, forearms, elbows, shoulders, chest and back, much like a suit of highly advanced armor. Her face prominently features a permanent datascreen over her left eye, attached to a small earpiece. Beneath the machines, her eyes are dark, her face plain and sharp, her hair unremarkable blonde silvering early in life. The only bare human skin shown below her jawline is a small stretch of throat, etched with an inked 'X' above her collarbone.

History: Like most of her generation, Keita was born on Ridge, and, though young, was instrumental in planning the invasion of Remme. She progressed quickly through the military ranks as the people on Ridge began to rebel; skilled in putting down the citizen riots and covering the tracks of crimes, she came into her element in the first battle on Remme. Preferring to move into the front lines rather than plan from the background, she proved herself a worthwhile soldier and an asset to the new order that would form itself on Remme.
When the Coirans attacked, a stroke of luck kept Keita on Remme, getting her eye-implant altered by a master technician. It was after the destruction of her people in space that the usually heartless woman engraved the black 'X' of loss into her throat, tattooing her undying loyalty to Ridge and her people in that single image.
Now a denizen of Yrles, she finds herself among the top of the heap of war and politics, and fights to fight further and destroy the enemies of Yrles once and for all.

Um, Brinkers are part of the Ridgian race? xD;;;;

oh...LOL then ignore the brinker part ^^

Name: Tiegra
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Race: Yrlese
Planet of residence: Yrles
Alliance: Yrlese
Personality: Cold, merciless, composed, and manipulative, Tiegra is an introvert, more intelligent than she appears though not much is known about her. Those that have heard of her, merely knows that she is heartlessly atrocious. No one can identify with whom she associates with, if she does at all.
Appearance: Resembling a human more so than a machine, Tiegra possesses a svelte figure with medium-length auburn hair and odd computerized neon-green eyes—the foundation of her photographic memory. The upper-right side of her face in a diagonal stripe is made of metal while the remainder is of human flesh. A tight suit of pure black adorns her overall appearance, exposing only her collarbone area as well as her two hands—the left, a technological implant.
History: It is rumored that Tiegra was born in Ridge. After the Yrles Empire overtook the planet with their man-made technology, however, she was ‘mutated’ from her former human self into a creature partially composed of metal. Since Ridge has been in ruins since that unruly day, Tiegra has traveled to Yrles; keeping to herself and always independent. Unfortunately, her factual tale is unknown.
Sample post: Is this truly required? If so, I will type a sample post or perhaps dig up one of my old writings, not necessarily from another role-play; if not, I will not waste my time and instead, work on my other two bios I have planned.

Alright, accepted.
I'd like some other races now though...
Ridgians, Coirans or Remmians anyone?

Errr... I'm going to have two characters, both are Coiran though.

And... Akael told me to tell you that the two other character she's going to have are Ridgian and Halosi. >.>
