In the modern world, there are people who still believe in the old ways. The people who try to predict the future; card readers, as they are called. Many of these people exist around the world, most of them trying to discover the powers of old for themselves. Then there are the real ones, who known the are or card-reading for many years; and art passed down for generations. Those that can sense the power in the cards, and they allow it to guide them.
They know who is destined to become the new guardians, now they only have to find them, teach them, train them. For only they can defeat the dark forces trying to destroy this world. There are many cards in a deck of destiny cards, but only ten hold real power. These ten hold a property that can be used to shape the future. They each have an opposite, which they are destined to work against; maybe eventually destroy.
~The Cards~
Every card has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the powers they control is only limited by your imagination and me; so you don't become god. Here are brief descriptions of each card.
Life: The card of life is related to healing and nature, and the holder gains control over both of these. They are able to heal any injury, and can summon and control and plant. Soon after getting their card, their eyes turn a pale green; sometimes only when using their powers. Their opposite if death.
Death: The card of death is related to spirits and the undead, and the holder gains control over both of these. They are able to instantly kill small plants and animals, and they can summon and control spirits and the undead. Soon after getting their card, their eyes turn dark grey; sometimes only when they use their powers. Their opposite is life.
Light: The card of light is related to color, and the holder gains control over light and color. They are able to summon energy, and mold it into shape; along with other things. Soon after getting their card, their eyes turn white: and occasionally shimmer with colors of the spectrum. Sometimes only when they use their powers. Their opposite is dark.
Dark: The card of darkness is related to shadows, and the holder gains control over darkness and shadows. They are able to mold nearby darkness into any shape, and can manipulate shadows. Soon after getting their card, their eyes turn almost solid black; sometimes only when using their powers. Their opposite is light.
Fire: The card of fire is related to heat and combustion, and the holder gains control over these and fire. They are able to manipulate temperature and fire; as well as being able to cause small explosions. Soon after getting their card, their eyes turn red and orange, and they flicker like a fire; sometimes only when using their powers. Their opposite is water.
Water: The card of water is related to ice and liquid, and the holder gains control over these. They are able to control and freeze any liquid. Their eyes turn a bright blue after getting their card; sometimes only when using their powers. Their opposite is fire.
Earth: The card of earth is related to terraforming, dirt, and stone, and the holder gains control over these. They are to move and mold any earth, and ultimately control it.Their eyes turn a muddy brown after getting their card; sometimes only when they use their powers. Their opposite is air.
Air: The card of air is related to wind and speed, and the holder gains control over these. They are able to control the air around them, and can move very quickly. Their eyes turn the color of the sky; pale blue, and have fleck of white that float across them, sometimes only when using their powers. Their opposite is earth.
Mind: The card of the mind is related to movement and control, and the holder gains control over these. They are able to move things with their mind; the size and weight dependent on their training, and they can hear and control one's thoughts. Their eyes turn pink after getting their card, sometimes only when using their powers. Their opposite is body.
Body: The card of the body is related to strength and endurance, and the holder gains control over these. They are very strong individuals, and can continue doing things for a long time. Their eyes turn dark red after getting their card. Their opposite is mind.
~Rules~
1. Regular forum rules 2. My word > Admin > You > Troll 3. I ignore grammarless or troll-esque posts, you should too 4. Be descriptive 5. Romance at your own risk 6. Swear at your own risk
This will use character paragraphs, which is a more complicated version of a skele. It will be allowed for it to be written in any style; journal, narrative, etc, but it will be required for you to stick to the style you chose, first or third person really. In your paragraph you should include your name, rough age, appearance, any items you have, and finally a biography.
I would recommend reserving your chosen power/card before beginning your paragraph, so that no one else takes it before you.

| Crystal Deck has long, glossy, brown hair that cascades naturally in a straight fall below her shoulders. She has a warm, tepid pink color for eyes with a ringlet of violet enclosing around the pupils. Her skin is tanned, and her lips a thin frame on her bony skull. No one is certain of Crystal's age, for she isolated herself from humanization at a young age, but she is said to possess the features of an early college student. Crystal was trained as a child to survive in the world she lives in, but abandoned her training early because of a secret she discovered (TBR). The truth destroyed her view of the world and changed her purposes. From that day on, she ran away and isolated herself from humanity and anything that possessed any source of life. Locking herself away; somewhere deep within the crevasses of a mountain; she studied everyday and night. Until she discovered her ability of the mind. |

Oralia H Montigana is a young woman near the age of 17. She has thick blond hair that's usually tied, and irregular dark red, unfriendly eyes which can hold a mean death stare. She is 6'10 tall, and has extremely strong muscles which fit her large frame, though she's also rather light on her feet as well. Oralia's skin is rather tanned as well, and she doesn't even pretend to be fancy with her gray sweatpants and white T-shirt. Oralia doesn't carry much of anything at all, except for her bag which she stores money, her card, and not much else.
Both her parents were nice people, whom she lived in apartment with. Oriala has a huge interest in the occult and magic, though knowing that it just couldn't be true. It wasn't until then, a mysterious caught her attention, gave her this card, and offered her training and guidance, free of charge.
(alright if there's anything wrong with my bio just tell me what to fix because i dont think i completely understand what's going on.)

(( I'm changing this one from the others ever so slightly, you don't get the literal cards until you reach the training center, but you grow into your powers at roughly sixteen, so if you choose to be younger then that I wouldn't make it by too much. ))

| My name is Randall Niche. Some say I have a rather optimistic and logical personality, preferring to read a lot. The question really is, do I care much about my personality, as long as I show it to others who agree with it? My skin is somewhat is tan, and my hair shows a color of dark brown. I wear a somewhat formal, though cheap, attire, and I have my hair held back in a short ponytail (British ponytail, if anyone is confused). If you haven't guessed it, I am currently a scholar in a philosopher's school in some remote corner of the world. I was originally a high ranking member in some military, but then I took a severe wound from my enemy on my left arm, which eventually evolved in a rather nasty infection. I'm fine now, but my left arm is rather slow, and features random fits of aching, enough to force me out of military service. And so, with my career in war ended, I decided to try one in philosophy, and so that explains my work here as a student researching various matters such as debate, politics, and the likes. |

Both her parents were nice people, whom she lived in apartment with. They both worked as mailmen, as ridiculous as it sounds, it makes a good living. She didn't really life a real luxurious life style, but it was alright for Oralia, and she got by easily with her public education. Oralia has a huge interest in the occult and magic, though knowing that it just couldn't be true. Oralia is also barefoot, and prefers it that way, as her feet are rougher than leather shoes.

| (( You were fine before, if you are under sixteen, you don't have your power yet, so if you want to be younger, either don't or make it by very little time. Your eyes have a normal color, and a color them turn when holding the card that you possess in its, well card form. The eye part doesn't really matter though. )) |
