The Story

You don’t remember when you first found out about your powers. You only know that society hates you for having them. Your parents wanted to forget about you, to keep you locked up in some asylum where you’ll be tortured for the rest of your life. Your friends, if you have any, always feared you. Society didn’t want you to exist and treated you like garbage. You felt like you had no purpose in your life. Your powers were nothing but a burden, something that would keep you from being normal.

That was until you heard about The Valley. Perhaps you read it in a musty old book you found in the attic they locked you in, or one of your friends told you about it. Or perhaps you heard about it from a wise old owl. Maybe you overheard it in a conversation between strangers. All you know is that for you, it was your chance to be normal..

So you ran.

You took your chance, you wanted to be able to lead a normal life, one where nobody would give you a dirty look, or be frightened. Where no one would lock you in a small room all day or abuse you.

A place where you could be free.

The village has been here for generations. Neselted in a secluded valley, far away from modern society. Those who come here are forced to give up their technology, their modern comforts, to live in this primitive society. Most Elementals like you don’t mind that, the technology reminds them of bad times in their old life. Those who are born in The Valley will never know what it feels like to be shunned for what they are. They are able to experience freedom from the moment they take their first breath.

This is what you must protect.

You woke up one morning, to a faraway but familiar sound. Helicopters. You rush to the window to see what’s going on. A white spherecial thing has just propped up overnight. Its on the far end of the valley, but you can still see it. It sticks out like a sore thumb. You hope it’s nothing bad. That whatever it is. It’ll go away. The leader of the village calls a meeting, it seems that the scouts have found out that the Helicopters have come with ill intent. They wish to capture every last one of you, even the children, and do scientific research. They say that this research involves capture, testing and something called “forced human euthanasia for scientific purposes.” There’s an outcry from the population, everyone is afraid. Nobody wants to die or go back to living in a cage.

But the leader has a plan, and she needs the best from every element in order to rid The Valley of these evil people. Her plan is drive out these scientists once and for all. Will you be the one to step up and help? Or will you cower in fear of the scientists?

You make the decision.

-I am goddess, my word is law.
-No Godmodding, your character cannot be a Goku’s second son or whatever, your powers are limited to only one element. While Elementals can perform an array of tricks with their powers, they’re very limited with what they can do.
-Do not mini mod.
-Do not intentionally kill off a character without asking me and the character’s creator.
-If you’ve read this far, put your favorite color down in the “Other” section of the character creation sheet.
-No mary sues/Gray Stus
-For this roleplay I expect one full paragraph (Which is at least 5 sentences) per post. I understand writers block, but do not use this as an excuse every time.
-Also, your limit is ten.
- To keep the story flowing, do not constantly post back and forth with one or two other people. This makes it hard for others to catch up.
-Okay, you’re doing good. Put your favorite animal, after you favorite color in the “Other” section.
-If you’re going to be away for a while, let everyone in the topic know. This way, nothing major happens.
-Use OCC if you’re going to say something unrelated to the role play
-Keep romance to at least pg-13. Anything past kissing fades to black or goes to PM.
-Similarly, do not go into the gorey details if you find yourself in a fight, A little blood is ok, just not a whole lot.
-Only as many characters as you can handle. If you can handle 5 or 6, then by all means. :^)
-Original Characters only please!!

(Honestly, you aren’t limited to just these, feel free to be creative!! I'll add to the list if people can come up with more!! :^) )

There are four kinds of elementals.

Ice Elementals- They cannot freeze in the cold weather and they don’t like the fire. Will do anything they can to avoid it. Ice Elementals don’t even like having fire in their homes. They make good scholars.
Fire-Similar to the ice elementals, they cannot burn up. They do not like the winter, and prefer to stay indoors during the rain. They make good blacksmiths.
Water- Loves the rain and swimming. They can hold their breath for a really long time. They make good fishermen.
Earth-Earth Elementals love the earth and love all kinds of weather. They can connect to animals and plants very easily, make good farmers.
(Ice elementals aren't limited to being scholars, Fire elementals aren't limited to being blacksmiths. You get the idea. Be creative and have fun!!)

The Valley and the Village..

The valley is small, but its teeming with wildlife.It has dense forests that stretch all the way up to the snowy reaches of mountains that overshadow The Valley. Your village is primitive, meaning instead of huge skyrises, you have buildings made of stone or wood. The houses are usually one or two rooms and can fit at least one small family inside. The leader, Helene Liama, lives in the largest house in town. It rests on a hill, this way she can oversee the whole village.

(Accepted. Welcome to the Valley)

((Accepted!))

(Accepted, Welcome to the Valley.)

Helene focused her gaze on the white round object, barely visible above the tree-line. She had sent a scout out early that morning, and was awaiting news. She hoped, she prayed, that it would be good news. That whomever this intruder was would leave as quick as they showed up.

She thought back to yesterday morning, when the horrifying sound of helicopters rang throughout their tiny valley. The elementals who were born in cities and in towns where modern civilization thrived, recognized the sound in an instant. The young ones who were born here looked up to the blue sky, terrified.

Drip..Drip...Drip

Her thoughts were interrupted by rain. As a fire elemental, she didn't like the rain. Today, rain seemed like a bad omen. The was a loud, sudden knock at the door. "Helene? It's urgent." It was one of her scouts.
"Come in." Helene said firmly, without taking her gaze off of the white object, she felt that if she did, it would get bigger and overtake the valley. The scout approached her.
"It's some kind research facility." The scout said, fear at the edge of his voice. Helene nodded, listening intently. "They plan on capturing Elementals, and doing experiments." The scout finished.
"Are you sure?" Helene asked, her blood had run cold. The scout handed her an official looking piece of paper. "We found this. A list of experiments they plan to do, along with brief description." The scout pointed at the words on the paper. Helene read them, but they make sense to her at the moment. Right now, nothing in the world did.

The only thing that she knew was that she had to protect the valley at all costs.
