The game WITH NO NAME AKA: TEH WNN AKA: STICK + METAL = ANONYMITY AKA... World Status The world is a blasted wasteland, with many lightning/heat storms, being deprived of the wind and water crystals. There is a minimum of plant life, although certain places can maintain them. There is water, in some places, but the only rivers that survive are huge and fast, the most notable being the Yu'nom River. The oceans are there, but receded, and just as stormy as the land. Winter is more like 'fall and spring mashed together, but the animals behave a bit differently', so much so that humans can't tell the difference. Player Characters Arisa Lockheed - Height: 5'3" - Desc: Arisa looks like a half elf, with strawberry blond hair, cropped short with a red hairband. Her face has light freckles and green eyes on it. Her face is kind of cute and she looks more built than your average elf, possibly by cause of the fact that she carries a huge scythe around that she makes no attempts at all to conceal. Her expression most of the time is distant and maybe a little zoned out. - HALF ELF! NOT HUMAN! - She is from a coastal region, near the Glasteel Mountains, in whatever world she comes from. Her mother is from a mountainous clan of elves. - Wind User, but she also seems to have a healthy interest in plants and healing.

Her most striking feature is her bi-colored hair; All of it growing forward of her ears is red, everything behind is blue and cut short at the base of her neck. The hair on the left side of her face is usually combed forward and over her face to cover the remaining scars from the car accident. She also has violet eyes. - Human, from Japan, on Earth - Ice User, who seems to be able to use lots of weapons. - Called herself (and her copy) the Knight of Cups, and it seems to be tied to her worries about reincarnation.

Ba'loo - A meat dish, apparently Op'Hak in origin. Julie loves it. Gul'tari - A ribbon/strap-like dress worn by Ru'Hak females. It tends to end up looking like, on a human, a pair of ribbony high-riding shorts and a upper body wrap that covers the shoulders and entire rib-cage area, but not the arms. The way it's worn also makes for almost suspender-like ribbons that connect the top and bottom part, since it is all one piece. Kunj'lo'nap - A black Op'Hak fashion. The top is tight, and the fabric is an interesting one, sort-of stretchy. There are a number of strategic cuts in the fabric, at the navel (an Op'Hak has no bellybutton), along the sides, and between the breasts. It goes all the way up ones' arms as well, to the wrists. Below the waist, it is not tight, but it is sheer, going straight down ones' legs, with a long slit along the right side, and a shorter one down the left.

Url'go'nam - Yu'Kan, Female - Ancient head of the 'unified religion' Brn'ral'ska - One who split the 'unified religion' World History, as told by Krystal and Julie Before all beings, and all animals, and all gods, we know not what existed. And then there were the plants and animals. And the four gods. The Earth Goddess, Va'bul. The Fire God, Or'ma'kal. The Water Goddess, K'lra'K. The Wind God, Shr'mi'wry. Their powers were great, so great they created four peoples, based purely in their own aspects. The people were immortal, perfect, almost as gods. But it did not last, for the peoples were not happy with what they had, and what the others had which they didn't. So they asked their gods for ways to take what the other peoples had. And they engaged in a great and terrible war. Their powers were terrible, their god-weapons amazing, and the world was nearly ripped apart at its very foundations. The four gods, having realized that they had failed, met, and realized that what the people they had created lacked... was the existance of the deepest feeling, love. Love for others, and love for the world. The gods, having created them in their own images, had not considered that they wouldn't be just as happy as they. The gods considered, and realized what they must do, to bring their peoples love. Va'bul and Or'ma'kal, K'lra'k and Shr'mi'wry, each pairing, one of the heart, and one of the soul, mated. The heavens shook, and the ground quaked, and when it was over, each of their races had a partner of the other gender, and the gods were gone, never to return. In their place, the crystals of essence existed, supporting the god-children throughout the years, throughout the Disaster War, where the world was once again shook by the great powers that the races could command. But only now have things been so dire, that the crystals of the wind and the water were destroyed. The water and wind and fire people were at war, and the fire were losing, and so pursued a peace. And while on the battlefield, where the peace was talked about, the fire people made a strike to destroy the Yu'Kan's Jumo crystal. The water people literally fell to the ground, dead, as one, in front of all their eyes The Om'Kan, the wind people, engaged in what was called the 'Disaster Counterattack', or Shr'om'kral, where they did horiffic damage to the Op'Hak and themselves. And then there was the long siege of the earth people, which ended on Arisa and Taki's actions against Vrmy.
