I forgot about this one too! Then again, we haven't started yet, so at least there's no required reading to get through. If anyone feels like getting us started, go ahead!

Edit: I added pictures of my characters.

Hi guys! I'd love to get this roleplay rolling, but I would like to scrap my previous character and make a new one. I haven't done a superpowered character in a while, and I miss it.

Name: Adena
Gender: Female
Age(12-25): 19
Dimidium, Human, or Paladin: Dimidium
Element descended from: Fire - Seraphina
Strong power: ability to "control" heat
Personality: A warm soul, she's spontaneous, loyal, and lighthearted. However, she often thinks more with her emotions than with her logic, and her spontaneity can turn into impulsivity.
Appearance: Pale skin, with blonde, curly hair and reddish-brown eyes. Image below displays her wearing an orange dress with a deep, red vest over the top. She's also wearing a shiny metal necklace and matching armband that twirls up her arm.
Other: When she feels strong emotions of any kind, she has a tendency to alter the temperature in the room--joy & anger warm the room, while fear and sadness cool it, etc.
Spoiler for Image of Adena:

Hey guys! Mind if I join?

Name: Kestrel
Gender: Female
Age(12-25): 17
Dimidium, Human, or Paladin: Dimidium
Element descended from (if Dimidium): Air - Niyol
Strong power (If Dimidium): Create whirlwinds/tornadoes
Personality: Cheerful, free-spirited, and optimistic. Often restless and impulsive, Kestrel is always on the lookout for something exciting to happen, bouncing from one adventure to the next. She's prone to spontaneous mood changes, quick to anger but also to forgive. She can be calm and serious when the situation calls for it, but is usually flighty and mischievous.
Appearance: Tall, with fair skin and long, curly chestnut brown hair. She has pale gray eyes and is rarely seen without a grin on her face.
Other: Kestrel has mixed feelings about being a Dimidium at first, enjoying the power it gives her but feeling overwhelmed and a little afraid at the revelation of who she truly is. She has a hard time accepting the reality she's now faced with and the responsibility it forces upon her.

I ran down the crowded streets, hearing the yelling behind me growing louder. They are getting closer! I glance to the sides of me, then up above. There! Perfect.
I quickly dodge to the left, ignoring the exclamations of the people I bump into in my sprinting, and I start to scramble up the crates and barrels on the side of the building nearby. As soon as I reach the top of the containers, I jump upwards and grab onto the signpost of the building, swinging around it a couple times until I have enough momentum. Then I let go mid-swing and fling myself onto the roof of the building next door. I land on my feet, arms out for balance, and then I continue running on the roofs of the shops. Ha! Won't catch me now!

I keep jumping from building to building until I am far away from the shouting voices in that street. Finally I stop, crouching down on the slanted rooftop of one village store, and I pull out my catch for the day. One loaf of bread, an apple, and one small wedge of cheese - a real treat for me! I rarely ever got cheese, because it was more closely guarded against thieves. I carefully ate the bread, making sure not to waste even one crumb, and then ate the apple. Once those were both gone, I slowly ate the cheese, savoring every bite. When I finished, I sat and looked out over the town from my roof spot.

I learned how to take care of myself when I was only five years old, watching the other street rat kids and learning from afar. I learned which grown-ups to avoid, which other street rats to avoid (the big older boys), how to keep away from the guard, where the good safe hiding spots were, how to snatch food from different stores (never taking too much from one place), and most importantly how to run on the rooftops where I was safe from most anyone. I was one of the very best roof-runners there was in the whole town, because I was still small and I had excellent balance.

Well, the guard and the shopkeepers should have given up by now, it should be safe to get down again. They won’t recognize me as the thief either, because I look just like all the other street rats in town - dirty, tan, plain tunic and trousers, small, and barefooted. Practically invisible to the grownups!

I hop down from the roof I was sitting on, grabbing onto various poles and uneven pieces of brick wall to climb down to the street below. Then I walk down the street, keeping more to the edges and out of the mob of people. I am aware of everything going on around me, and I am ready for anything - you never know when some bigger street rat boy might decide to grab ya, or some grown up! I notice some kids playing in front of their house, laughing and running around with stick horses together. I watch enviously for a moment. I had never had toys or siblings or a house growing up. Then I shake my head and force myself to keep walking. Don’t gawk like a street rat Mar, even if you are one… and have never had what they have… doesn’t matter. You have a nice hiding spot to sleep in tonight - so long as you hurry up and get there before some other kid finds it!

Ahh I'm so excited! Great post Liri.



The damp sea breeze whipped past my face, tousling my hair and bringing with it the fresh tang of salt. I closed my eyes, letting it caress my face, misting over my skin. The heat from the early morning sun was trickling over the horizon, bathing the entire shoreline in gold. Far below, gentle waves rolled up against the sheer rock cliffs, painted in russet hues.

I braced myself, taking a step backward before launching myself over the edge. The first few moments of free-fall sent panic tearing through me, my stomach lurching. A scream tore through me, turning into a peal of laughter halfway through. I reveled in the sensation of plunging through nothingness, untethered from the world around me. Through the roar of wind in my ears, I heard seagulls screeching in the vast sky, circling high above. For a moment, I envied their freedom. I'd had barely enough time to finish the thought before I hit the water below.
I opened my eyes, surrounded by a world of murky blue-gray. Bracing myself, I surfaced with a gasp, shaking out my soaked tangle of dark hair.

At the base of the cliffs, I found the small boat I'd kept tied up there, climbing aboard and retrieving the small paddle. At this time of day, the tides were calm and subdued, allowing for easy navigating along the many rock formations that towered above the shoreline. I skillfully steered my tiny boat around their bases, to the small openings in the cliff's base that were only accessible at this time of day. Last time I'd come here, I'd had barely a moment to explore before the imminent high tide flooded through the caves.

The first two caves I came across yielded nothing interesting, just the usual array of seashells and strange rock formations. The third one, however...

"Aha!" I crawled through on my hands and knees, my head almost brushing the low ceiling. An odd array of old coins and trinkets littered the floor of the cave, but it was too dark to examine them closely. I gathered up as much as I could carry, tucking them into my skirts, before crawling back out. I had to shield my eyes against the glare of the -

"Oh, no!" The sun was nearly halfway across the sky. I'd completely lost track of time! I made my way back as fast as I could, which was no easy feat. The only way up the sheer cliff face was a tiny path carved into the rock, which was barely wide enough for one person with their arms outstretched. By the time I got home, it was well into midday, and Mom was standing on the porch, her hands on her hips.

"Kestrel! Where were you - , oh, never mind!" she eyed my stained, waterlogged clothing and wild tangles of hair. "Hurry up and get changed, you've got afternoon lessons with Master Leroy to get to!"

"I was hoping you'd forgotten," I hedged, causing her to glare daggers at me. "Okay, okay, I'm coming!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I shoved open the door to the house, collapsing onto the couch with a long-suffering groan. Mom peeked at me over the top of her book, trying and failing to hide her grin.

"Master Leroy can drone on and on about the most boring topics," I complained, letting out an exaggerated sigh. "Can you believe that he lectured us on the detailed history of soap-making for over an hour?" I'd spent the entire time staring doggedly at his thick walrus mustache, trying to look as if I was paying attention.

Mom eyed my dirty, salt-stained dress sitting in the laundry pile. "Well, for you, that might just come in handy someday," she teased.

I flicked one of the odd trinkets from this morning's treasure hunt at her, and just like that, my bad mood dissipated. "I just wish something exciting would happen one of these days. Nothing ever changes around here." Not in this small, seaside town where every day was much the same as the one before. Sometimes I felt as if I was sitting on pins and needles, waiting for my life to really start.

Mom's smile turned a bit sad. "Oh, my little bird. You should enjoy the peace while it lasts. Your time will come soon enough." Her hand drifted to the necklace tucked under her shirt that she always wore.

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Cryptic much? You make it sound like an evil empire is going to descend upon us at any moment," I teased.

She grinned in response, seeming to shake off some dark shadow hanging over her thoughts. "Well, you never really know. Now, will you tell me what you were up to this morning?"

(It's been so long since I've done any roleplaying, hope I'm not too rusty. I can't wait to meet everyone's characters!)

Great posts, Night and Liri!

Night, don't worry. You don't seem rusty at all.

I'll get started on writing my post now.

Breath in

Breath out

Focus

Steady your hand


These were the words running through my mind as I stood parallel to a fellow Paladin, Istila. Every day, the Paladins trained for hours out in the courtyard of our base. We trained to fight against the Dimidiums, whose powers they selfishly kept to themselves. Generosity seemed to be lost on them. They could use their powers to help the nearby kingdoms and villages and people that lived in them. They could give us their powers so that we may also do the same. But alas, they keep it to themselves. Letting the world and its people burn around them while they thrive and their powers grow. We, the Paladins, hope to put an end to that. If the Dimidiums will not willingly help us… then we will just have to take what is rightfully ours. It's quite the onerous task, but it's one we're all willing to see to its completion, no matter what.

"Ready?!" A Paladin Lieutenant who oversaw the training cried out. Istila and I took our fighting stances. We maintained steady eye contact while waiting for the captain's final command. It seemed like it took forever but it was only mere seconds later when we heard his booming voice shout "Fight!", and so commenced another day training.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later in the evening, after dinner had ended, I was walking back to my quarters when I was stopped by Captain Onertho in the hallway. "Agent Psila." I immediately came to a halt and swiftly saluted the man. "Yes, sir?", I asked. "I just wanted to commend you on a fine day of training. I saw you out in the courtyard today. As usual, you've shown tremendous skill in your fighting ability. We're certainly lucky to have you as a Paladin." He said, his complimentary words not matching the serious look on his face. "Thank you, sir." Is all I could say, regardless of whether or not I was a Paladin. Captain Onertho didn't compliment just anybody, especially since most people weren't even on his apparent "good side". It was nice to know that he didn't hate me.
Captain Onertho then looked around the room we were in. I tilted my head in confusion, even though it was obvious he looking to see if we were alone.

But why, though?

It seemed as if we were alone but the Captain wasn't convinced. "If you'll follow me, Agent. I have some pressing matters I must discuss with you. Now." And with that he was off, walking in the direction of his office, which was not too far from where were, thankfully. In fact, it was all the way on the far side of our base. A section of the base that was barely used by anyone, save for a few important Paladin members like Captain Onertho.
I hastily walked after him, not wanting to be behind and lose him from my sights. I wanted to ask him many more questions while walking to the room but I knew not to do so. I was sure he would answer all, or at least most, of my questions when we weren't in danger of possibly being heard by others.

I wonder what this urgent yet delicate matter could be. If we must talk in private, it surely can't be anything good, right?


Once we arrived at his office, he opened the door and I walked in before him. As he stepped in behind me, I saw him lock the door in one swift motion before taking several long strides to his desk. "Please, sit." He said to me while standing above his chair. I did as I was told with no hesitation and Onertho followed in suit. I felt tense which wasn't a new feeling for me. Life for a Paladin is just that. Tense. But this felt like a different kind of tension. I could hear the loud thumping of my heart, which seemed to be beating faster and faster as the seconds went by. I was worried the Captain could even hear it. I could feel a drop of sweat slide down the side of my face, as I waited for the Captain to speak. Yes, this tension, this… anxiety over the situation was certainly a more unfamiliar feeling. A feeling I looked forward to its departure from my body.

Finally, the Captain spoke. "Psila… I'm sure you haven't forgotten why we're here, why we fight, and why you and the other Paladins must train so rigorously every day."
"Of course not." I replied, the nervous feeling in my get getting stronger as the Captain continues to slither around the reason he brought me to his office for an unexpected private meeting. "We do what we do so that we may… deal with Dimidiums accordingly."
"That's a nice way of putting it." He said, appearing to not be entirely satisfied with my answer "Allow me to spell it out for you anyways. We do what we do so that we may take what is so rightfully ours from those evil Dimidiums."
"Yes, sir."
"And you… are especially great at handling Dimidiums. Even better at fighting them." He continued "Thank you, sir." I replied with a nod. I still had no idea where he was heading with this conversation and so I felt no relief from the tension in my body.
"Because of that, I have a special task for you." Onertho said
"A special task, sir?" I repeated, feeling puzzled. Thankfully, Onertho didn't waste any more dancing around the subject matter and proceeded to explain this task. "We… have heard reports of Dimidium activity in the Western village of Acthania. Several isolated events that have sparked suspicion in some of the village people and certainly in us Paladins. We would like you to do some investigating in that area. See if you can find anything Dimidium related and report back to us. And, of course, if you actually encounter a real Dimidium… you know what to do."
I was in shock. Dimidium activity has been at an all-time low for months. Some of the Paladins were even beginning to think there weren't any Dimidiums left and we've just been on this wild goose chase trying to find them.

Finally… finally, it's happening.

I quickly recovered from the shock I was feeling and gave the Captain an answer. "Of course, sir. I will do what you have asked of me and will see this mission to completion. I will not fail you."
"Good. I know you're the most capable person here. You're perfect for the mission."
"Thank y-"
"And I know you won't fail me either. You know what the consequences would be if you were to fail." Captain Onertho said with a dark shift in the tone of his voice. One didn't even need to know what would happen. The look in the man's eyes said it all… and it wasn't good.
I gulped, "Yes, sir." I tried to keep my voice from wavering and showing any signs of fear and weakness.
"Good." He replied with the same dark and malicious tone, which went away in a snap when he spoke again. "Well, you may go now and prepare for the journey ahead. You leave for the village first thing in the morning."
I stood up and saluted him once again. "Yes, sir!" I turned to exit the room but was stopped by the sound of his voice before I could even open the door. "One more thing… do not speak of this to anyone else. This mission is to remain a secret to everyone, do you understand?"
I could feel myself hesitate for some reason. I didn't know why. Perhaps it was because I've never been on such a mission before. Or maybe it was because I was quite close to several Paladins here and kept very few secrets from those people, so the idea of keeping this whole thing a secret from everyone was a bit new. It didn't matter what the reason was, though. I couldn't get out of doing this now and even if I could, I didn't want to. "Of course, sir." I finally said after a few seconds.
"Excellent. Now leave." Captain Onertho ordered. He was already starting to engross himself in the papers that were lying on his desk.

I hurriedly exited the room, not wanting to be in the man's presence any longer. I felt like the longer I was there, the more he could see into my soul. The more he could… feel my tension and anxiety. I thought he'd be able to sense any hesitation I may have felt. In fact, I'm almost sure he did even though he did not comment on it.

Thank goodness he didn't. I said to myself as I headed back to my own quarters. I had a big day ahead of me. I needed to quickly pack for the long trip to Acthania and then I needed to get a good night of sleep. Strangely, I had a really good feeling about this mission.


Author's Note: Oof, that was longer than I thought it would be, haha. Liri, let me know if I got anything about the Paladins wrong. I was worried I made them sound too much like the Dai Li in this post.

Haha, thanks Alexa! And I think we're all more than used to long posts by now, so don't worry about it. Yours was great!

You know Liri, I was also wondering about the Paladins. What do they do once they encounter a Dimidium? They can't just want to capture them since, like Alexa said, that'd be a little too similar to BiotB. I interpreted it as, the Dai Li hate the Gifted and see them as less than human, so they try to turn them into weapons for their own gain. The Paladin on the other hand want to steal the Dimidium's power... How do they go about doing that, though?
I think the differences will be made more clear as we go along, since Believe was mostly about the conflict between the Clann and the Dai Li. Whereas here I think our characters will probably go on the run at first to escape the Paladins?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm just really excited to see where we go with this!

Nice posts everyone! Liri, I know this is a bit odd, but I changed my characters' ages on their forms. It's been a couple years since I first posted on here, so I felt like aging them up a bit.



"Goodness, yet another charge?" Miss Marlee sighed and ran a hand through her graying hair. "I don't know how we're going to get through this winter. Funding has been scarce this year, and the amount of mouths to feel just keep growing."

I kept my eyes on the floor, trying not to seem as if I was listening in. All I wanted was to finish sweeping this room as quickly as possible. I never meant to eavesdrop, but sometimes adults tended to forget or not notice I was even in the room. Mainly because I hardly ever spoke in front of the orphanage's matrons, and usually kept my head bowed low, letting my long black hair fall over my face. That complete with my petite stature and soft voice helped me become all but invisible most of the time.
It wasn't as if any of our caretakers were cruel or uncaring, just the opposite. They liked to make all of us orphans feel like this was a kind of makeshift home, always asking about our day and chatting with us about our interests. There was nothing I hated more than being the center of attention like that.

"We'll manage, somehow. We always do," Miss Edith responded reassuringly. "If it means one more child that gets to stay off the streets, we'll do whatever it takes."

I finally finished, gathering all of the grime into the dustpan. Hurriedly, I turned to leave the room.
"Miyuki?" Miss Marlee called out. "Is that you?"

"Yes, miss?" I spoke up in a voice barely louder than a whisper, my eyes downcast. "Do you need me for something?"
"If you're done all your chores, do you mind watching the children for an hour or so? Kyra had to go take care of some errands," she explained.
I smiled. This was one chore that I never minded. Somehow, I was always more comfortable around the young kids than I was with adults. "I don't mind, miss."

"Yuki!" Leila bounced up and down on her toes as she saw me walking in. "Are you going to tell us a story? Are you?"
I laughed, feeling her infectious enthusiasm. "Well, if you'd like. What would you like to hear today?"
She scrunched up her face in consideration. "The one about the pirate treasure!"
"No! I want to hear the story about the flying saucer!"
"The one about the island where children never grow up!"

I smiled, holding up a hand. "How about a story you've never heard before?"
Wide-eyed, they all gathered close, blinking up at me.
"Long, long ago, when the world was still new, it was a very different place. A place of emptiness, waiting to be filled with all the beauty and wonders one could imagine. And out of this void, four great beings were born. The first was Air, known as Niyol. Then came Water, called Misu, and Earth, named Kaia. The last to come was Fire - Seraphina. They were known as the four Elements, and they were beings of great power. They helped the world to grow and shift into the way it is today, creating vast oceans, lush jungles, and raging storms. Their power could be as soothing and calm as a gentle breeze, or as wild and untamed as a raging inferno."

"Eventually humans came to be as well, and soon their numbers grew to fill the corners of the world. The Elements kept themselves separate from our kind at first. But as great as the Elements were, they still shared many similarities with humans, such as the ability to love. They met four humans, who welcomed them into their midst, and taught them the intricacies of human emotion. Soon they were wed, and all four couples bore children. For a time, the Elements lived among these humans in blissful harmony. But the peace was not to last."

"Eventually, news of the Elements' existence spread, and attracted a very different kind of human. Those who would steal their powers for themselves, to serve their own ends. To do this, they captured the four humans who were beloved by the Elements. The four great beings were heartbroken, and longed to saved their loved ones, but they knew that whatever may come, they could not let their power fall into the hands of these greedy humans. For if they did, our entire world would suffer the price."

"And so, though it broke their hearts to do so, the Elements decided to hide their children, giving them away to ordinary human families and concealing their power. They knew they could not let these abilities fall into the wrong hands. And so they no longer walked among humans, and after many centuries, the Elements faded from human memory."

They were all silent as I finished. "Is that true, Yuki? Are the children of the Elements still out there?" Leila stared down at her hands, as if she expected fireballs to start bursting from them.
I laughed. "No, of course not! It's just a fairy tale." One of many that I'd heard, sitting on my mother's knee, with my father stroking my hair. I had never forgotten any of them.
There was a strange sensation at the base of my throat, as if a small ember had stirred to life. I put my hand there and felt the necklace I always wore. The one my mother had left me, before she and my father had succumbed to the fever. It felt warm to the touch.

I was distracted by the sound of Kyra returning to resume her turn at babysitting. I gave her a quick smile, then got up to leave, to a chorus of groans and complaints.
"I'll have another one for you next time - promise!" I waved at them as I left the room. Past the dining room, beyond the foyer, then outside. With my chores done for the day, I was free to do as I pleased before dinner.
