----- May 25th ----- ~Approximately four weeks ago in the middle of a park lake, an enormous oak tree sprouted. Reaching a mile and a half high, the tree was instantly full grown in only a few days. The bottom of the tree trunk is held up slightly by the roots, which are deep into the ground underneath the water. The park, which has the lake, is in the middle of a very large and populated city with skyscrapers that do not even reach the half way point of the oak tree's height. ~The scientists that live in the area immediately quarantined the area and set up shop on figuring out why the tree grew there and how it grew so massively. One of the scientists, Dr. Grover, insists on seeing people in the branches of the tree. "Many of my colleagues persist to inform me that seeing people within the tree just simply isn't logical, but I know that there is more to this ordeal than we think," Dr. Grover says to the Daily Article. On another note, a handful of other scientists are trying to rule it out as something 'magical'; something to deal with sorcery do to the following events. ~The Army has decided to intervene without granted permission of the scientists and they gradually regretted their decision. The Military took the first shot, firing at the trunk from the lake's edge and trying to set the tree on fire. However, every time a bullet would almost hit the trunk, it would bounce back and hit its shooter. With the fire, it would instantly be put out, sending a cold rush of air throughout the area. The Air Force took their turn with the tree, sending in numerous jets. Every missile that was fired at the tree was decimated before they were even close to the tree. Massive arks of lightning would stretch out of the tree and destroy the air-crafts as they flew by. ----- June 3rd ----- ~More information has been gathered and it turns out that Dr. Grover's sighting was true. There are, in fact, people living within the Great Tree (which has been given a title [obviously]). Scientists began calling them the Obsidians because of their appearance. The Obsidians (Obsidian being a black stone) have: black hair, completely black eyes, black nails, and surprisingly their fingertips were black, having them fade back to the usual pale skin tone (making it look as if they were dipped in paint). Also, a few of the Obsidians have been seen with black upside-down crescent tattoos on their palms, but only a rare few. The Obsidian's clothing seems to be handmade or scavenged from the clothes that are around the city. The Obsidians never seem to just walk out of the tree, but have been seen riding large wolves out of the base of the tree. The wolves freeze the water underneath their paws, making transportation over the lake very easy. The ice seems to melt almost instantly so travel for humans makes it more impossible. Large birds have also been spotted flying in and out of the top branches of the Great Tree, assumed to have Obsidians riding on them. The Obsidians seem sophisticated, intelligent, and nothing like savages. There seems to be something... Magical about them. ----- June 7th ----- ~The Army has gathered a group of skilled soldiers and is planning to have them infiltrate the the tree with negotiation. The plan is underway, but there doesn't seem to be any improvement...
(It's Essential [For Information Purposes] That You Read All of That ^) ~~~~~ Rules:-
1. No Gmodding/Ubering/Flaming/Trolling, Etc... 2. No Being Able to Blow up the Great Tree 3. No Instantly Infiltrating the Great Tree 4. Romance is MINIMUL, If That 5. Put "Obsidious" Under Your CS if You Read EVERYTHING 6. You Must Be Accepted Before You Can Continue 7. No Mary Sues/Gary Lues 8. Be Creative and Have Fun 9. *Unicorns* ~~~~~ Extra Info:-
First of all, the Obsidians are indeed Sorcerers. They control elements (which I will specify). The black crescent tattoos are to show the leading family members (ask to be one) in the Obsidians. Transportation for the Obsidians are large wolves (horse size) and large birds (also horse sized). Once an Obsidian rides a bird, that bird is theirs. Keep that in
mind.
If there's anything you need to specify, just ask. ~~~~~ Elements (Ideas):-
Fire Water Ice Wind Earth Plants
Lightning/Thunder is ONLY For the Leading Family Members
Others if You Think of Them (No Death Element) ~~~~~ Character Sheets:-
Soldier Form: Name: Codename: A.g.e.: (20+) Gender: Rank: Appearance: Primary Weapon: Secondary Weapon: (No Bomb Type of Things) Branch: (Military, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Etc) Personality: Bio: (At Least Two Sentences)
Obsidian Form: Name: Nickname: A.g.e.: (20+) Gender: Element: (Just One - Lightning/Thunder is ONLY For the Leading Family Members) Leading Family Member?: (Ask to be One - I'd Rather You be Out of the Leading Family) Appearance: Bird Type: (What Type of Bird Do You Ride?) Personality: Bio: (At Least Two Sentences) ~~~~~ Will Post My Character After This |

Here is mine~
Obsidian Form: Name: Jay Reede Nickname: Panther A.g.e.: 24 Gender: F Element: Lightning Leading Family Member?: Yes - The youngest of her seven siblings. Appearance: Jay has silky pitch black hair that reaches her waist. Her hair has random large curls and the hair that's setting on the sides of her face is braided. Her facial features are soft and gentle and her skin tone is a creamy white. Her eyes are the familiar Obsidian black as all the Obsidians and she's very slender. She stands around 5'6" and is only 102 lbs. She wears a black v-neck tee shirt that fits tightly on her torso, has shredded white skinny jeans that show her completely bandaged legs, and she's barefoot. Her palms have the upside-down black crescent tattoos and she keeps a necklace around her neck at all times. The necklace is a silver chain with a black lightning bolt charm on it. Bird Type: Raven Personality: Curious, Willing to Understand, Fierce, and Determined. Bio: Jay, being the youngest of her siblings, knows she'll never be the successor for her parents. The highest rank she'll be brought to is the one she is in currently... A member of the Leading Family. Her father does take time to train her in all of the areas: lightning control, offensive, and defensive skills. Jay had learned of the group of soldiers that are going to attempt to infiltrate the Great Tree and so she has decided to help with the negotiations. |

(Here is mine. You help clear up on the apperance for me. Apperance: He has buzzed black hair and pale skin. He has a scar on the right of his cheek.He wears a White T-shirt and shorts under his brown jacket. Not the best. Just hard for me when it comes to apperance with set standereds because I normally base it off myself. :/) |

| (I am confused on element control. Like how well do we control it. Is it like Avatar the last airbender bending or cast a spell of that element?) |

| (I guess the Avatar metaphor explains the control pretty well, but that's how it works. There's no actual spell casting, it's just element control.) |

A few questions: Since Obsidians ride birds, how tall are they usually? and: Can I join as a character that is just a little human child that just happened to live somewhere near that area and ended up in the area somehow? |

(The Obsidians are human sized. The birds are the abnormal ones, being the size of a horse [which I mentioned in the first post]. And, are you asking to be a human child which is being raised in the Great Tree?) |

| Thanks. (I think I skipped over the part with the size of the birds.) I meant a human girl raised by humans, but somehow (didn't quite think that part through) found herself in that area, apparently wandering around looking for a way home (where ever that is, didn't think it through too much). |

| Then I'll just take a human that was raised by Obsidians, if that's okay. |
