Pristine Dark
Supreme Cookie Overlord
Story
A little over four hundred years ago, Terra was in the grips of the largest war in it's history. The great Demon Kaizen returned to the world, waging war against the whole of life itself. Through his great and terrible power changes occurred in the once peaceful people, presenting mother Terra creatures with startling potential, talent, and skill. Those bestowed of his power found that they cursed as well, forced to follow his commands.
Neighbor took up arms against neighbor in a paranoid struggle for survival, never sure who would be the next to succumb the Kaizen's will. Faced with the prospect of their own extinction, humanity did what history has proven time and again comes easily to them, they fought. The battle was long and bitter, spanning a century and a year and brought the world of Terra to the brink of death. In it's last moments, five cursed managed to break free of Kaizen's will and turned upon him.
With the aid of the escaped cursed, humanity pushed Kaizen back into the depths of the abyss and crafted great seals to trap him there again. Terra had been spared destruction, and humankind began the process of rebuilding. On their deathbed's, the original cursed warned of three omens that would mark the weakening of their seal's and the return of Kaizen.
The first foretold of the reappearance of the cursed ones, though rather than changing they will be born amongst humanity so as to hide their nature. The second foretold that cursed will destroy a mighty key, revealing the doorway to the abyss itself. And the last foretold of a night that would last for seven nights, the prelude to disaster.
The first omen has already happened, each day more of the cursed awaken to their power....will you be able to stop the others?

World Background
The world of Terra is nothing like the world you live upon. It is entirely broken apart by barriers called world-lines that encapsulate the space in which all things live, each individual area being called Districts. All world-lines have a passage condition that must be met before one can enter it. Though most are as simple as being there during a certain time of day, there are many usual ones as well such as requiring a certain hair color. World-lines are all translucent and may contain environment's and even time's of day vastly different to those beside them (you can walk from a tundra to a desert if you pass the world-line)
There are three major cities in the world of Terra, each possessing their own unique cultures and knowledge's, and each taking up the entirety of their district.
New Ostria, the district city of mirrors: The district city of Ostria is always described as immense towers of marble surrounded on all sides by translucent mountains made of pure ice, but this is only how it appears upon the surface. The city is built upon and inside a massive frozen ocean, spreading down hundreds of miles. Despite all of the ice and the city's constant snowfall, the area is actually a pleasant temperature.
The city has a long and prominent magical history and is one of the few places in the world that magical lore and equipment can be found.
It is said that the ocean's of New Ostria froze when a goddess fell dead to Terra, and that her magic permeates the land to this day. Those choosing New Ostria as their birth city possess an extra magical ability due to their long term exposure to this magic (obviously this ability is not a curse, just something more than normal)
Xiou Murin, the district city of night: The district city of Xiou Murin is primarily filled with rolling hills and valleys, surrounded on three sides by an incredibly dense forest called "The Dragon's Pass". It is always a full moon night in Xiou Murin, and it is said to be the place the first cursed created by demon Kaizen appeared.
Xiou Murin's history is filled with combat. It is the pride of every native Xiou family to rear one martially adept child into the world to carry along their family name. As such, most Xiou family's have their children trained extensively, allowing those that choose Xiou Murin to know martial skills (Being a Swordsman and being a Martial Artist are two separate skills)
Neopine, the district city of fire: The district city of Neopine is actually built into the northern face of one massive volcano named Mt Veser. Mt. Veser is constantly erupting, generating a huge lightning storm that covers the entire southern half of the volcano.
The emotions of the people living in Neopine tend to to run as hot as Mt. Veser itself, though they are also adept at sensing the emotions of others. Those that choose Neopine as their birth city possess the ability of telepathy.

I don't know if it's the size or the amount of formatting i'm putting into this post, but it keep wiping out entire sections of text!!.
Anyway, I wanted to apologize for yet another delay in my poor story. I passed out going up my stairs and dropped my computer in the process. I never noticed that I hadn't actually saved the document and lost the information defining the curse abilities. Since I don't wish to delay things any further than I already have, I wont be defining the extent of each ability. Even with that said, I still wont allow over powered uses of one's ability.

| Name: | I think this one is obvious O.o ) |
| Appearance: | feel free to use either a description, a picture, or a combination of the two |
| Age: | Anywhere between 15 ~ 35 |
| History: | We don't need to know what your character ate for breakfast on their 4th birthday, brief is fine, but tell the important things |
| Curse Ability: | ONE ability acquired directly because of the curse. While I may make exceptions for thematically similar abilities, the idea is that your curse is a bit of a one trick pony so to speak. Creative uses of these single abilities are encouraged, just make sure they make sense |
| Skills: | Physical or mental skills your character has acquired in life BEFORE their curse awoke inside them. The world starts just as the cursed one's make a reappearance, nobody is "trained" in their ability....IE, your all novices >_> (Limit 5) |
| Personality: | Not needed, post it if you want. |
| Birth City: | Each has a benefit of some sort, but for the purposes of this RP, your Birth city is wherever you grew up. (If you want to be born in one city and move to another, you need to pick which one counts as your Birth City) |

,but I have a question about the Curse Ability.Do mean like a person can controls fire or a physical ability,such as enhanced agility?
