    Original thread started by Jayney

    The first thing they notice about you is that you are not normal. Whether it be pale skin, strange eyes, fangs, wings, immense knowledge, power, speed, or even your voice. They will call you out, and you will be discarded.


    Secondly, they realize how “inhumane†it would be to simply kill a baby. They are not stupid, they know that the public would notice and that they would be arrested. So they do not. Instead, you are torn from your dying mother’s arms and sent away to be Cleansed.

    Thirdly, they realize that you will be recognized if you are present in the everyday world. You are too strange. So, you are sent away again to a dark, lonely castle in the middle of a dense, “undiscovered†forest.

    Lastly, you cannot be found. You cannot escape and tell of their horrid prison. So they will lock you up. No unbarred windows, no unlocked doors. A trained guard will be at every post, watching your every move. You will be punished daily for your impudence.

    At least... that's how it was.

    Through miracle or tragedy, you've managed to escape the Hell which has been forced on you for as long as you can remember. After venturing through lands you've never known existed, you find yourself in a valley. One hidden from the hateful eyes of the rest of humankind.

    In this valley stands an empty, old Spanish looking town. Well, it seems empty. As you step within the city walls, you begin to notice the city is actually inhabited by people fulfilling their everyday lives. Children in the schoolyard down the street. Teenagers hanging out at the street corner. Shopkeepers announcing sales in the market.

    However, there's something wrong. Something about this town is very different from the ones you've seen on you're way here. A cautious, but optimistic sort of hope seems to thicken the air. All of the people are like you, with some physical characteristic that would label them a gift and a freak in the outside world.

    A boy with wings walks down the street with his friends, a skateboard under his arm. Like it was the most normal thing in the world, to have wings.

    A feeling that you're being watched nags at your mind, and you look to your left to see a young girl with eyes an entrancing snowy shade of blue-gray that couldn't possibly be natural. She approaches you with her hands clasped behind her back childishly.

    "Welcome to Siletste. What's your name?"



    ~.:Two Years Ago:.~
    The O R P H A N A G E was a compound formed to rid the world of Gifts like yourself. One day, a group of these Gifted children escaped from their cells, wandering the castle and releasing the others from their cells. Among these were the only children who survived the destruction of their prison: Eva, Elevir, Ren, Kaylee, and Seth. The Director, the man who started the whole thing, escaped with his life as well.

    One might be wondering how the whole project collapsed. It was the Director's own doing. He destroyed his life's work. Why? It's actually pretty simple. Sort of.

    Along with the other children, a different race of Gifts were released from their cells that day. They were called the Manics.

    The Manics weren't like the other Gifts. Their power was used for the purpose of death, and only that. Not only could they make the most strong-minded of people go insane, to the point where they killed themselves or even other people without even realizing it, but they enjoyed it. They could go on for hours until they drowned in the blood of their victims.

    One of these Manic Gifts would happen to have been the Director's own son. Larenzo, he was called, and called himself the Mad King. Or, at least, the evil part of him. He sort of had a split personality. When one side of him was killed, the truly murderous side took over. The Director couldn't allow Larenzo, or his released followers, to run free. In fact, he had to stop them at any cost.

    So that's how our story ended. Or began.

    Types of Gifts

    Elemental Gifts:
    Gifts who control elements such as fire, water, earth, ice, wind, climate/weather and such. To use this power, they must channel it through a sort of tool or weapon.

    Intellectual Gifts: Gifts with superior knowledge to those around them. They are brilliant and extremely witty and on their toes. Their personalities are sometimes a bit ‘know-it-all’, but they usually actually do know it all.

    Formidable Gifts: Male Gifts who are incredibly strong. They can mean to give someone a hug or handshake and instead snap their spine or break their hand.

    Reader Gifts: Gifts with the power to read and sometimes manipulate people’s minds. They are normally quite quiet, lurking in the shadows and reading the thoughts of other people. Skilled Reader Gifts even have the potential to read the minds of several people and predict the outcome of a situation involving them because of it. Though, there are very few who get to this point. There are also very few Gifts with the power to change or influence the mind.

    Surreptitious Gifts: Clever Gifts with the power to shape shift. They are usually quite daring people with a love for adventure. What they can shift into splits them into groups. Some can mimic humans, while others can mimic certain types of animals.

    Melodic Gifts: Gifts with the power to control the flow of time through music. By playing a certain tune on usually a wind or string instruments or singing perfectly in time and melody, they can stop, slow down, and/or quicken the flow of time. The limit of their power is up to them, though subconsciously. Some of the more shy and quiet Melodic Gifts are afraid to overuse their power and therefore can only do these things for about five minutes or so. Others, who’s personalities are bolder and more confident tend to be able to draw on for longer.

    Winged Gifts: Gifts who were born with wings. These wings vary in shape, size, appearance and function. Some wings can retract from wherever they grow. Some wings merely disappear when they are not needed. Others cannot make themselves unseen.


    Enticing Gifts: Female Gifts who are beautiful beyond all compare. Their bodies are flawless, eyes normally a gorgeous shade of rouge, lips a luscious red. They have clear skin, varying in color, and a strange glow about them, as if they’re always surrounded by a pale moonlight. Their voices are alluring; sweet and sultry and their personalities are usually a sort of passionate and eager along with some who are more innocent and lovably clueless to the selected audience. They are identified by a rose shaped birth mark across their lower back. These Gifts are very skilled in archery, even flawlessly so. They have a way of influencing people to think their way or do what they want with little effort. Very sneaky, sly, manipulative Gifts at their best.

    Animator Gifts: Gifts with the ability to animate whatever they draw and make it into something real. Some Animators can only animate what's on the page like a cartoon, while others can go as far as drawing doors into walls or drawing a weapon to use in a fight.

    Full Character Name: Elevir Riavfera
    Age: 15
    Appearance:
    5'1 1/2, very fair-skinned. Gray, sometimes purpleish eyes that are often closed due to sensitivity to light. Platinum-blonde hair with about an inch of black at the tips that ends at her shoulders. She has unnaturally long and sharp canine teeth. Her ears are pointed and elf-like.
    Bio: Her mother died during childbirth, as with all of the Orphanage children, but her father, who had a Winged Gift, hid her away before anyone could notice. She grew up in the thickly wooded areas surrounding her mother's hometown, where she honed her Reader skills with the many wild animals, and even learned to communicate with them. However, telepathy, even in it's simplest forms, is no easy task. One day, her and her father were attacked and her father killed. She awoke afterward, in the Hell known as The Orphanage. There, she tried to become a member of the guard to free the other Gifts, but when she was forced to kill Larz, instead releasing the leader of the Manic Gifts, the whole project was destroyed. After realizing that out of hundreds of children within the castle, the Director had only saved four, she flew away and hasn't been seen since.
    Personality: Though quiet at first, she can be very headstrong and seems to rush into things without thinking.
    Weapon [If any]: A knife her father left her.

They lied to her at first, telling her that she had to be taken away because she herself had a Gift when she didn't. After she was on the brink of death and they could no longer do any tests on her, they threw her out like a ragged doll and she was found by someone living in Siletste.

    5. Username: Deathsight44
    Full Character Name: Toxyn (real name unknown)
    Age: 15
    Appearance:http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp202/moioku/blahdablah.jpg
    Bio: Unlike most of the children who were abducted, his kidnapping was very simplistic. He was a crack baby. His last memory of his parents were them selling him off for a nice good deal of drugs. From there, he was sent off to be tested on. Due to his powers revolving around electricity, which is generated with an overuse of the electric waves the brain uses, he was frequently tested, performing experiments which monitored emotion, physical stress, etc, to see if his powers worked any differently because of it. What they mostly experimented with though was his nerves since the nervous system is the most effective way to monitor electricity, so most of them involved pain. Because he lived such a traumatizing life, he has grown to be very distant from people of all kinds. After escaping, he has been wandering aimlessly, looking for a place he can stay without people coming by, which leads up to now, which has lead him up to the discovery of a strange town which is populated by what can only be described as people with the most unique of qualities. Also due to the experiments, his body is always in what can be described as a constant pain. Not agonizing, but a constant ache.
    Personality: He is very distant from people. As a person, he is good, always helping whenever if he can. He hates to see people disappointing or having any kinds of negative feelings when he knows that they don't deserve it, since he himself is quite familiar with the feeling, so the thing that drives him is knowing that he might be able to help others at least. From his point of view, he has no problem with getting close to others, believing that as long as he can provide some form of kindness to those who need it, he'll be able of help. He tries his best not to let others get close to him though, due to his own fears of betrayal. He also have a fear of any forms of physical contact. He flinches if he ever feels another touch him.
    Weapon [If any]: Attached to his middle finger is what can only be described as a glove. It only covers his middle finger. It is made purely of steel, and at the edge of it is a tiny needle. Though small, it is sharp enough to be used as a type of claw. It is also useful as a conductor for his electricity.
    Gift: Elemental

    Bio: with him being near the death date he began thinking of a way out by himself. His wings have grown back and the guards have not removed them yet due to his death being near and the fact that his body is not used to the use of them and he would litterly jump slightly farther than a normal human then plumet. After escaping he wandered for some time before finding sanctuary.

    Gift: Winged gift

    11.Username: DPWolf
    Full Character Name: Rei "Wolf" Verd
    Age: 18
    Appearance: http://www.akibanana.com/files/image/0AKIHABARA/0904/Tabi/Horo.jpg
    Clothing is almost the same, but with a red and black color scheme and has additional fur suited for cold temperatures.
    Bio: Shunned as a child due to her red eyes, ears, and tail. After escaping, she wandered far to the North to avoid any contact with others. Her aggressive nature and wolf-like attributes made her an excellent hunter and tracker, and survived by acting as a bounty hunter. The people of the north had no other alternative, so she lived in relative peace hunting for some time. She began to grow restless however, because of hearing stories from other northern inhabitants of the other "freaks in the South"; after discovering that she could manipulate fire, she decided to head south to see what this newfound power could do in order to help others like her gain freedom. Her appearance and behaviour has earned her the nickname Wolf by those who know her.
    Personality: Distant, trust needs to be earned, somewhat of a short fuse and a temper to match, but sometimes seems lonely
    Weapon: Similar to this: http://www.onemanga.com/Inuyasha/382/12
    Also is skilled at hand to hand combat and utilizes her fangs and claws.
    Gift: Elemental [Fire]

    12.Username: Twilightblader
    Full Character Name: Drake Gray
    Age: 21
    Appearance: [insert link here]
    Bio: Like most children with gifts, Drake was taken from his mother's hands and taken to the ORPHANAGE. At first he was just taken because of his strange eye color and did not know his gift but soon enough it was revealed when Drake went crazy and caused a lot of damage. He was locked up with the other manics and he stayed in his cell awaiting the time when he could escape. His time came when the king of Manics Larz set him free although unlike the other manics who were slaughtering everybody, Drake just took the opportunity and escaped from the place that held him
    Personality: Drake has a split personality. At times he would be a pretty calm guy but other time he will become more brutal and sadistic
    Weapon: Claws
    Gift: Manic

    14.Username: Legion
    Full Character Name: Larenzo, Kendrith
    Age: 22
    Appearance: [insert link here]
    Bio: After being buried in the demolishion, Larz and his fellow survivors took half a year to escape the rubble. Starving, they decided to feed upon few of the gifts who were not manics. The rest were drafted as lackies and spies. Larenzo's troop traveled through the forests for three days until reaching the city of Gifts. By that point, Larenzo said screw it and ordered his army to disperse into the populace. He spent the rest of his time going from job to job, trying to find his will to complete his plan. I believes soon that day will come.
    Personality: sadistic, cruel, inconsiderate, and a master at reading things upside down, Larz is everything you'd not entirely consider for an evil overlord. He'd probably agree, but that would just so he could get close enough to scramble your brains. However, on rare occasion, Larz has a kinder side. Usually it is intended for those he considers pets.
    Weapon : claws
    Gift: Manic

    15.Username: Periwinkle
    Full Character Name: Charis Laverna
    Age: 12
    Appearance: http://media.photobucket.com/image/a...mall.jpg?o=182
    Bio: Charis is a lonely young girl that moved to the town of Siletste a few years ago. The only relative to her that is possibly alive is a person named Claire, who happened to be a teenage victim in the Orphanage. The odds are very slim that Claire is alive, but Charis refuses to believe that she is dead. Charis doesn't know how much of a relation she has to the girl or who she is exactly, but if she happens to find her alive, it just might be possible for her to learn of or find information on her father. A friend of Charis's mother told her that Siletste was one of the closest towns near the Orphanage, making that her area to move and spot for Claire at. Her clue to finding the girl was a picture that was given to her from her mother, before she died.
    Personality: Optimistic, kind, childish, can be serious during a certain situation. She also seems to have a slight obsession with sweets.
    Gift: Animator

    Illian's eyes opened to meet the darkness of night; the only light to be seen was radiating brightly from the moon and stars that dotted the sky. Quickly, she hopped off of her bed and changed into her school uniform, as it was the first outfit she could grab. Slipping on her shoes and her jacket, and clipping her thick, somewhat overgrown bangs back, she rushed out of her room, down the hall and out of her home, and continued down the road to the town gate. She had to be fast if she were to meet the new girl in time.
    She slowed down around the corner of the only street into their silent hamlet, to out of breath to run any more. No one was there, yet. She was lucky. According to her dream, the new girl was going to be there in a little longer than a minute.


    Elevir looked around the town she had found, trying to assess whether it was safe to stay there or not. There hadn't been any wooded areas like she was used to for days. Only mountains, valleys, and small towns and villages where she was sure to be spotted. She hadn't eaten in the three days it had taken her to find this place, and though it wasn't nearly as bad as what she'd endured for a week at the O R P H A N A G E, it wasn't helping her judgment at all.
    "Oh, hi!" someone called over to her, as though they knew her from somewhere. It startled her, and she looked over to see a girl about her age, in a familiar-looking outfit. The Reader couldn't recall why it was familiar, but it was.


    The new girl didn't seem intent on approaching Illian, so the younger girl stepped closer, until she was only feet away.
    "Welcome to Siletste," she spoke as usual, "What's your name?"


    The girl's name was Illian. Elevir could hear that much. And she didn't have bad intentions.
    "I'm Elevir..." she responded, and after a little more searching through Illian's thoughts, she understood that this town was different from the others she'd been to.

    "So you're a Reader, then?" Illian spoke.

    "I never thought that a place like this was possible," Elevir said, "If it's really like what you think of it."

    "It is." Illian replied, grateful that the one person who'd found Siletste in the middle of the night was a Reader, and she didn't have to explain."Anyway, you look like you could use some rest. Come on."

    Illian led Elevir to the place where new kids, or whoever happened to wander into town without a permanent residence stayed. It wasn't like an inn; actually, it was far from it. Elevir couldn't find the right term to use, though. Perhaps this was what her father used to describe to her as a home, like where her mom lived before she was born. Except bigger.
    Trying to remember what her mother's home looked like started to give her a headache, so she shook the thoughts from her mind and stepped inside the bedroom that the lady who greeted them at the front of the home showed her. The lady's thoughts on the town and the new girl proved to Elevir that she was safe here, as though the fact that the lady herself was an Elemental wasn't proof enough.

    After changing into the nightshirt that Illian let her borrow, she laid down on the bed(it was the first time in her life that she'd ever actually seen a real bed) to sleep

    OOC:// Okay, I know it sucks xD. But w/e, I needed to start this.

    Evangeline brushed dirt off her knees, then stood up, rubbing her head. She sighed, then smiled. There was so much done. She went inside, then put her gloves in a drawer. Now......grabbing a book, she curled up in one of the couches, and started reading, losing herself in the characters of a book. At least they didn't lose anything.

    "The hell am I..." Toxyn mumbled. He helled his head, a slight headache occuring. He had not recieved proper rest for what had been a good week. It started with him having paranoia of every human he came into contact with, thinking they wanted to capture him. After seeing that they were different though, the lack of sleep lead to his tendancy for his powers to go out of yack since his powers could not function perfectly unless his mind was stable. Whenever he slept, his powers might react if even the slightest bit of metal was aloud near him. When he was awake, everything around him would become staticly charged, which was easy to tell when peoples hair would begin to stick up. He had just entered the town though, quickly searching for some where that he might be able to grab something to drink and eat. A bar perhaps. He'd tried a fast food resturaunt, but the last mcdonalds he went to......well, to put it best, he found out that they were definatly putting something not meant to be ettible to humans in their food, due to the reaction.
    His body ached at the time. The past experiments made it this way, and the drowsiness wasn't helping. He ended up laying down against a stone wall next to the side walk, and rested his head against it. He felt almost dizzy at the time, and was tired enouph to admit that he may have very well hallucinated a little.

    Curled up in the reading chair, Evangeline eventually let her eyes drift shut, her head pounding slightly. She got so many headaches these days...and she couldnt' shift as easily either. Snuggling deeper into the chair, she slowly fell into a dreamless sleep, Larz haunting her dreams.

    Bent over a table covered in paper work and bills, Victor tried to balance his funds. His fast food chain was a huge success, but even after two years there was alot of red tape to push through. Pushing his lime bangs away from his tired eyes, the entrepeneur decided to take a break from his finances.

    Stepping into the adjacant room, Victor stumbled upon Evangeline, his pseudo daughter, sleeping in a chair. He cracked bitter sweet smile. He had lost one child to his sins that were commited in a hell he made personally. Looking into the childs eyes, he was afraid he'd lose another.

    "Eva." he murmured softly, shaking her shoulder.

    Jumping awake, she almost collided heads with Victor. "Ah!.....Oh..I'm sorry..." she smiled weakly, rubbing her head. "I fell asleep instead of helping you, didn't I? Do you need more help now?" she stretched out her legs, then slowly got herself out of the chair, closing the book neatly.

    OOC: Just to note I changed Seth and Ren's age

    BIC: Seth walked down the streets of the town with his hands in his pockets and eyes closed. He soon sighed and opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. I wonder how everybody is Seth thought to himself

    Just somebody walked into the restaurant. The restaurant immediately fell silent as this person walked in

    "Don't worry about it." Victor quickly blurted, rubbing his forehead to dispell the impact. After the pain lessened to a dull ache. "I'll do more tommorow. Why don't you go up to bed, I'll tidy up here." Taking a step forward, Victor opened his arms wide to offer Eva a hug."

    Eva hugged him, closing her eyes for a bit. He was stressed, and she knew she was worrying him too. "I'll make it up to you tomorrow." she murmured, stepping back and smiling brightly, trying to dispel his worries. She grabbed the book and walked up the stairs, her hand gripping the railing. At the top, she turned left, and walked into her room. Collapsing on the bed, she closed her eyes, hoping this stupid spinning would stop.

    Everybody in Victors restaurant fell silent as they watched the man walk in. The man smirked. He was huge and some of his friends walked in with him "everybody get the hell out of here now. This is our turf now" the man yelled as everybody ran out in fear except for one person who was still at his table with his drink in hand ignoring the men
