Bane of impurity and darkness. </em></span></span></div><br/>1000 years ago, when the world was new, a great evil rained down from the heavens; a cataclysmic being whose only desire and drive is death and destruction. Millions of human lives were lost at the hands of this Goliath's terrible power, and countless more will die if nothing is done. The people of Ivila look to a select few; they look for hope in Summoners' strength. The only hope for the future and the destruction of the evil that threatens the world, is the The Esper of Light. Only with the strength of the Esper of Light can they seal the goliath away for good, and only by banding together will the Summoners of Ivila have a chance of reaching Gaia's Horn, the grand alter where the Final Summoning may be preformed. Yet few still remember the stories and prayers. The old ways were lost and so these summoner's are not yet aware of their destiny or that Goliath may yet still return. . . . Their truth strength wanes until their will to fight is born, while that need to fight is drawn ever near.<br/><div align="center">________________________________________________________________</div><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 36pt;"><strong><em>Gaia Breach</em></strong></span></span></div><br/><div align="center">________________________________________________________________<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>Our Ivila...</em></span></span></div><br/>Nestled in the center of the continent's expansive timberland, lies Alexandria, an immense and regal castle, with a busy and prosperous town at it's base. Alexandria is renown for it's military might and retains control of the largest amount of territory. Their king, the revered and loved Altair Mahrah, is a proud and fair man, but an aged man. His heiress, refuses the stipulations of arranged marriage and so stubbornly renounces her claim to the throne. As a result, King Mahrah set his affairs in order through the aid of an all too trusted adviser, Prash Aulute. Prash is a loyal adviser, but sees his own bidding into the king's will more and more as the King ages.<br/><br/>To the north, following a winding river that connects the two, Serrucia is a mountainous yet still heavily forested region that adjoins the northern mountain ranges to the eastern ranges of Ghar-Urighan. Serrucia is a fast paced nation with cunning advances in magic, engineering, and alchemy; intelligent minds flock to Serrucia to take advantage of the many ether springs present in the region. Prime Minister Altana sees that foreign relations are kept at a plus, but increasing animosity between a righteous Altana and the wormtongue Aulute strains their alliances.<br/><br/>The eastern Provence of Ghar-Urighan is an ancient and desolate city built into a hidden gorge. Little is known about the city, and seldom do people venture out. Some believe it is the last refuge of a dying summoner tribe but none have ever ventured within it's borders and returned to tell what they had discovered.<br/><br/>To the South of Alexandria is the Port city of Esta Ro Sol. The nation is a commercial hot spot for the continent as most waterways lead to or very near to it's spacious ports. Tourism is a flourishing business as guests flock to exchange the forested scenery for salty air, sand, and blue skies. Esta Ro Sol isn't a land ruled by ancient monarchical norms. An acting governor attends to the day to day of political business. A youthful, cunning, and notoriously handsome man by the name of Ezhrus Talkoon is the current acting governor.<br/><br/>And finally to the West, a young nation allied with Alexandria, Madeen is a smaller farming community carved out of the forest. Their citizens are hardworking, and resourceful and though still young, Madeen has a positive outlook for the future. Building is commonplace as expansion begins to flourish. Madeen is still in transition as far as government is concerned. They still pay taxes to Alexandria's coffers but an elected committee serves for the bulk of decision making.<br/><div align="center">________________________________________________________________</div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center">________________________________________________________________<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>The player...</em></span></span></div><br/>You are a citizen of Ivila, a grand and lush continent in a world of myth and spellbound wonders. The continent is divided into five nations as well as a myriad of unidentified villages, cults, abbeys, ruins, or ports. Most stuctures including castles and some homes and shops have been standing for incredible lengths of time; built by ancient Summoner civilizations. As such, much of the continent's architecture both standing and ruined share a similar concept in design [Mayan design elements mixed with romanesque stonework; perhaps with a persian art deco based on Summoner lore and culture.]<br/><div align="center">________________________________________________________________<br/><strong>Rules &amp; Regs:</strong> <br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">We all know the do's and dont's; no god-modding, flaming, etc. There is a lot of creative freedom in this game.

Summoners can have any combination of amateur fighting and magical skill-sets, but must focus their own actions around the use of their summons.<br/><div align="center">________________________________________________________________<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>Summons...</em></span></span></div>All summoned creatures, whether Djinn, Esper, Eidolon, or Avatar, have inherit combat ability not defined by their skeleton; what you actually want the summon to look like, [humanoid, beast/creature, flyer, spirit, elemental, or any combination of these] will determine what sort of natural ability they possess [this includes weapon mastery]<br/><br/>Djinn - Are typically grand in stature and possess immense physical power; These Djinn use pure strength or agility to defeat their foes and protect their summoners. Though their attacks can be imbued with elemental energy, they cannot attack from a distance without the use of a projectile weapon either summoned with them or supplied later by the summoner.<br/><br/>Espers - Benevolent and mystical creatures. They typically assume the form their summoners find most soothing, gentle, or protective and possess great ability over the lifeforces of the world. As such, they can heal mortal wounds, bolster the physical or mental strength of their human allies, and through gifted summoners, even reverse death.<br/><br/>Eidolons - Incredibly intelligent and wise beings with unrivaled mental ability. They can cast a variety of elemental magics that serve to strike foes from a distance; though their abilities are incredibly powerful, their statures are not, and so are not apt at close-range combat and best serve summoners traveling with companions.<br/><br/>Avatars - Mythical beings that live in the mortal realm along side humanity. Most are elusive and aggressive towards people, but in rare instances shine their favor on unique summoners. When a Pact is formed, summoners gain the ability to possess the body of their Avatar in order to utilize their abilities from a safe location. Their abilities can focus on physical, healing and buffers, or magical skills but must choose one skill set to focus on. i.e., like Djinn, Espers, and Eidolons, Avatars have only one skill-set type.<br/><br/><div align="center">________________________________________________________________<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>Character skeletons...</em></span></span></div><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">{Summoner}</span></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">[Basic Info] <br/>Name: <br/>Age: <br/>Birthday: <br/>Appearance: <br/>Personality: <br/>Back Story: <br/>{HomeTown}:[Ghar-Urighan, Esta Ro Sol, Madeen, Alexander, or Serrucia; these are the cities with the largest populous or notoriety.
