This is a second Rp I will be running, possibly with Tendusia. It will require advanced RPers. I would like to note, The Black Hand is not over, it will continue. Five years ago, in the year 2008, a large meteorite crashed on the eastern coast of Australia. Inside the meteorite was discovered shards of a strange crystal. Upon further study the shards were shown to give the possessor special 'powers'. The United Nations assembled to decide what to do with the shards. Under the pressure the UN crumbled, along with most other governments. Anarchy took over, with the person with the most powerful shards ruling. Now, in the year 2013, it's an all out war. There are three main groups that could be considered 'governments': Marinae - The militaristic Marinae feel that the shards should be used to invoke a world order, with super human police protecting the innocent. They are the most technologically advanced, and have found how to boost the power of their shards. E'shyum - The E'shyum believe that the shards were given to the Humans as a test, from beings from other star systems, too see whether we are ready for contact with other beings. The E'shyum use the shards the most, and have discovered how to replicate the shards, but each copy is weaker than the last. Suvoj - The Suvoj are religious zealots that believe the shards are a gift from god. They have figured how to partially translate the runes inscribed inside the shards, increasing their control over their powers. When a shard hasn't been given a power, it is considered a 'clean' shard. To 'activate' a shard the user must firmly in both hands. The shard will begin to glow, and the user will feel a tingling sensation. Afterwards, the shard will grant the user a power, usually some reflection of their personality. Whenever a shard has been activated, they have strange engravings inside, in some foreign writing. These shards are called 'etched' shards. For a new user to use the shard, they must repeat the process of activating it, although the power will remain the same. There are also a second type of shards, the fabled Phantom Shards. These shards are purple in color (unlike regular shards, which are blue-green). These shards seemingly appear out of nowhere, already etched. They are still only a myth, and have not been completely acknowledged. Character Sheet Name: Age: Faction: You may choose one of the three above, or make your own smaller faction. But if you do make your own, please include detailed descriptions. Shards: It is alright to have multiple shards, or none at all. If you have more than one, keep it to a small number. No carrying 12 shards around with you, these things are valuable and rare. Also include where you keep your shards Weapons: Physical Appearance: Background: Name: Don Alden Jr. Age: 31 Faction Shards Weapons: He uses his shard created beam sword, an advanced pistol in a shoulder holster. Physical Appearance: Alden wears a traditional military crew cut. He is a tall, well built man, scarred from his years of raising the most powerful military in the world. He wears advanced battle armor, that can block most calibers of bullets, and absorb weak laser blasts. Background: Don was raised in a military family. From a young age he was raised to join the army by his war hero father, Don Alden Sr. In high school he was enrolled in a top class military academy, where he was top of his class. When the meteorite hit, he was a high military official, and was one of the first to test out the shards. When the UN collapsed, he knew that the current forms of government were ineffective, and that the whole world should be united under one ruler. So, using his access to the shards, he set out to establish a world wide government. (Last edited by Floyd Xander on 11-11-06 01:56 AM) |

| Name: Barrek Firehand
Age: 25 Faction: Marinae Shards: He carries a shard that allows him to control the volatile forces of fire. It was given to him by his father, and he carries it on a chain around his neck. His father also entrusted him with a strange crystal that appears to be amethyst at first glance, but has tiny impercfections at the center. He wears this on an armband on his right wrist, but it is never seen due to the leather gloves he always wears. Weapons: The aility to command fires (large and small), 1 9-millimeter pistol, and an M-26 assault rifle (similar to an M-16, but has a laser guided micro-rocket launcher with a C-5 warhead), cigarette lighter with an old U.S. flag on it. Physical descripion: (I am going to do something different with this guy) Standing at a whopping 5 foot 2 inches and weighing a massive 150 lbs he is by no means an impressive figure, but in his heart burns a hate more powerful than any stature. He seems to always have a cigarette lit, though were he gets them these days is unknown. He dresses in camoflauge, usually urban which is a mottled array of blacks and greys, and always wears black leather gloves and black combat boots. His blonde hair is close cropped. Background: He was in college when the meteorite hit, studying to become an astro-physisist like his father. His father was among the first to study the shards, and he had found a very interesting phenomenon within the shards, though he was murdered before he could expose it to the world. The murders were the future leaders of the Suvoj faction. He believes his father's records still exist, and that he could determine what his father had found, and find the reason why he was killed. Seeking revenge, when the Marinae faction was formed, he joined them, hoping to avenge his father's death. (Last edited by Dirk Ralthar on 09-08-06 03:59 AM) |

| Since FX has approved this...
Name: Holly Marina Age: 18 (editing the age...16 was too young.  )
Faction: Not an official faction, but Holly is part of a group of people that focus on searching for and figuring out the Phantom Shards. It is still a very small group of people and while they are not exactly with any of the three main factions, they are not exactly against them either. They work on their own as a sort of vigilante group. Shards: Holly holds only one shard in her posession and it contains a power that she has not been able to master just yet. However, it seems to activate on its own when she encounters any extreme danger, forming some sort of shield around her and whoever else she may pull into it along with her. She keeps this shard hooked on a bracelet on her right wrist. Weapons: Holly doesn't carry any weapons with her, but relies on her agility and martial arts skills. Physical Appearance: While her skin tone is pale, her eyes are a shade of dark blue and her straight black hair hangs down about her waist. She stands at about 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs in at 110 pounds. She wears a snug fitting, long sleeved black shirt that displays a little bit of her shoulders and is slightly low cut. Her jeans are a dark blue and are also a bit snug fitting and she wears black boots that rise only to her ankle. Suprisingly, her attire only makes her look more elegant, rather than something for others to gawk at. Background: Holly was also the product of a military family. While her mother was simply the military wife, who stayed at home and lived where ever her husband was sent to, it was Holly's father who ran the show. Before becoming a part of the Marinae Faction, along with her mother and herself, Holly's father was a United States Marine. He quickly climbed the ranks in the military and as he did so, grew all the more overbearing and strict. He expected a lot of Holly and she was always punished for not meeting her father's expectations, along with having his views and the Marinae faction shoved down her throat. Not long after the meteor hit, Holly's mother died and her father only grew worse. While he wasn't exactly a bad man, he wasn't someone Holly enjoyed being around either. Being as she was like her mother in nearly every aspect, both physically and personality wise, her father became more strict and over protective. This, of course, caused Holly to rebell against her father and remove herself from him as much as she could. When her mother passed away, she left Holly a shard. The shard wasn't activated and Holly didn't think it could be, being as it had been in her mother's posession for so long. But, upon placing her hands on it, the shard roared to life for Holly. However, she couldn't seem to figure out just how to use it. It didn't seem to work for her as it did others, and she had next to no control over it. Her father, on the other hand, tried getting her to release the shard to him many times, thus drawing Holly's interest to it even moreso. Unknown to her father, Holly found a way to train in the martial arts and just before she turned 16, she decided to break from her father and the Marinae faction and pursue her goals to find out how to work her own shard and seek the Phantom Shards that she had heard so much about.

| Name: Leon Machina
Age: 21 Faction: Suvoj Shards: Two shards total. One shard is kept dangling from a chain attached to the bottom of his Customized handgun. This shard's purpose is turning his bullets into something entirely unnatural. This is done by displacing the particles around the bullet after it leaves the gun. In this way, the bullet never loses momentum(no friction to slow it down) and cannot be stopped by any sort of material barrier. Leon found out how to make this work to his advantage by placing a focuser around the tip of the gun's barrel which, as the bullet is fired through, applies the properties to it. His second shard was surgically implanted into his left eye, and with the advances in science, is connected to his brain. In this way he can percieve energy signals, locate shards among others, and read the thoughts of those around him. It also gives his vision a magnifying capability for his one 'eye' and has perfect vision up to a mile away. Weapons: A customized revolver with a thirteen centimeter long barrel. It is coloured a beep metallic black, and inscibed in silver along the handle is the roman numeral XIII, a name which Leon has coined for himself for a long time. There is a strand of silver metal that runs from the chain at the base of the gun tot he barrel, and surrounds the tip of the barrel in silver. The chain dangling off the bottom of this is connected to the shard. Physical Appearance: Leon is aproximately 6' 1" tall and weighs about 145lbs, he does not at all apear to be threatening, but the truth of the matter is he is almost entirely muscle. He is actually a very strong person for one so skinny. He usually wears a pair of tight fitting black jeans, black 'skate' shoes, a black dress shirt (partially unbuttoned) and a dark red t-shirt underneath that. His long black hair is usually combed in front of his left eye, to hide the shard from plain sight. Background: Leon was about 14 when the meteor hit and right away he knew it came from the heavens. Having lived in Australia at that time, he had actually gotten his hands on two scattered shards from the crash. He had left his home shortly therafter, seeking adventure and keeping the shards hidden away in the messenger bag he carried with him. He found a group, the Suvaj, who held a deep respect for these shards and for The Holy who sent them. He appeared to be almost brainwashed by them as they took him in without question. This was where he was taught to activate his shards. The others were jealous, but Leon did not fear them. He grasped a shard deep in his hands and activated it, but it appeared to have no effect on his abilities. He tried different things with it, and studied the runes inside of it, and learned that it had something to do with vision. Leon determined he wanted to use this power, and went to the head of the religious group. Saying it was God who wanted him to see the truth, and that he wanted guidance on how to use this. A team of medical professionals were put together to implant the shard in his eye. They took it, and shoved it deep into his eye socket, where they connected it to his brain using several synthetic receptors. They rounded the outer edge of the shard, making it appear more round and eye-like leaving a glowing blue green mass where his eye ball once was. With his new eye, and his new abilities to see, he activated his second shard, and peering deep into this shard, he instantly deciphered the symbols, and fitted a weapon that would take full advantage of this new power, the power to alter matter around an object, disrupting it. He outfitted it on a chain and connected the chain onto his gun, with a single trail of silver metal running up the side of this gun to a focus point just off the tip of the barrel. Leon realized he had all he needed, with a weapon for God's great justice and an eye to seek out other shards and bring them to God's chosen people. Phew, that took a while to come up with. Enjoy.

| Government approved!
Name: 'Jae' Age: 34 Faction: E'shyum Shards: Two partial. Fragments of the first were given to him before he left the service. The fragments allow him to move almost completely weightlessly. These fragments are carried on metal bands on both his arms and his ankles. He uses these to persue those whom he is tracking down to bring them into custody for processing. Always using them to at least some degree, he appears to have almost normal movement. when he removes them on rare occasion, he can only weakly get around due to the blast injuries. The other shard he keeps secret. Buried in his chest near his heart are the fragments of another shard. Much of his upper left lung was destroyed, but the shards were unable to be removed. This was due to the fact that they let him phase out of the normal physical world, allowing him to cross short distances between matter. This aided him in moving through walls and brush without making a sound to catch his target unaware. Weapons: Carries a 9mm sidearm for personal defense, and a utility knife, which he is far more apt to use. Physical Appearance: Standing well over 6 feet tall, with jet black hair and a defined jawline, he might be considered good looking. Most wouldn't say it though due to the look in his eyes that could only be defined as a thousand yard stare. Much of his chest and body are scarred from the blast as well, so he rarely removes his shirt, much less his coat. Very 1920's in appearance, he likes to wear a slate gray suit, with a longcoat on, and uses a walking cane to get around most of the time. Background: Having once served as an engineer in the military, he was wounded in action during the early wars several years ago. An explosion ripped into his section, killing most of those near him. His best friend shielded him from the blast and spared his life, but as result, the shard he owned was embedded into his chest and lung. The military was unable to remove the shard fragments, due to their properties, and he was discharged. Having been given the other shard by his section leader before he died, he took both with him when he left. Officially, the shard fragments in his chest never existed. 'Jae' as he's called (few know his true name or identity) now works for E'shyum. They believe that the shards were sent with a perpose. Jae wants to know the truth. And he doesn't have much time left. Officially, he searches out others to bring to the cause who have shards. Jae is secretly looking for a way out of the war and conflict. Having lost most who were close to him, and bringing new people in for a continuation of what he sees as mindless slaughter, he is seeking for a way out, and to take with him and care for the few remaining who he cares about, most of which are people he's met in his searching for 'talents.' |

| Character Sheet
Name: Zaku Yaiden Age: 28 Faction: The Yaiden Marauders (not really a faction; just a street gang of thugs in the lawless, ruined city of Phoenix) Shards: 1. Zaku has one on a necklace around him at all times which enhances his uscular fortitute to emulate properties of steel; his muscles can even resist bullets. Weapons: MP5 Submachinegune and a Desert Eagle .357 Handgun. Carries a combat knife with him too. Physical Appearance: Zaku is about 6' 3" and 280 lbs. His mohawk is spiked and bright green. He wears basic denim garb, a black tee-shirt underneath his shredded jacket and large, black boots. He has an earring in his left earlobe. Background: He was always rebellious, even when he was a child. He dropped out of high school early and left his broken home. When the war started, he saw this as a perfect opportunity to live out his dream of being a feared gang leader, and with all factions preoccupied, this would be the ideal time. Once Phoenix city was demolished in the fighting, he organized a group of marauders after obtaining a shard found in a safebox in an abandoned building. He now travels with his gang on his army of motorcycles and stolen weaponry. |
