On a distant planet, there's a race of aliens called Akians. The Akians live just like we do, with advanced societies and technology. They are the same as us biologically as well, physically their race and ours are identical. The only difference is that they are able to command one of four elements, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water. The elements form bands, or collections of akians with the same elements. The Akians have lived in parallel to the people of earth for as long as the universe has been. This race has been at war with another, the Targans, for around twenty years now. When the invasions began, the Akains sent some of their young to earth to be safe. Those children never new of their heritage, but are now starting to learn of their powers. Their silent guardian, Damian, has kept watch from a distance, watching the kids grow, keeping them out of trouble as best they could, waiting for the time they would be old enough to learn of their kind. That time has come. Damian - Damain sipped his coffee. He looked down at the paper and saw an article about two pages in titled "Power outage across three city blocks on thursday, police are lost." Hoo boy. He read on. "Last thursday, the police were barraged with phone calls from panicked citizens when all the power went out across three city blocks with no warning. The police investigated, to find a pole supporting a power line bent ninety degrees over a large dumpster, with the lines splitting and launching sparks. No one know how the dumpster got there, but a city engineer tasked with assessing the damage had this to say 'we really dont know what could have happened here. The angle at which the pole is bent suggests the dumpster was thrown by some immense force, but we cant figure out what could have launched it.' The police urge anyone " damian stopped reading. He sighed. He couldnt put it off much longer, these kids were gonna level the city if they didnt learn to control their powers. He made up his mind. Today was the day they would finally know. He stood up and pondered who to talk to first. But he had another thought. He sat back down. They would know after he finished his coffee.

On a distant planet, there's a race of aliens called Akians. The Akians live just like we do, with advanced societies and technology. They are the same as us biologically as well, physically their race and ours are identical. The only difference is that they are able to command one of four elements, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water. The elements form bands, or collections of akians with the same elements. The Akians have lived in parallel to the people of earth for as long as the universe has been. Due to the akians natual farming skills, Akia has always been a planet rich with resources. Many races have sent delegates to the Akians looking to negotiate a deal for resources, and some have been successful, but one race, the Targans, did not negotiate. The Targans are a race of human-like bipedal mantis creatures. They are an incredibly militaristic race, and came to Akia looking to take the Akians resources by force. Ultimately, the Akains were able to repel the Targans, but not without loosing good men and women. The leaders of the government called in their best aquatic and earthen tacticians and began developing strategies for the inevitable return of the Targans, and by the time the Targans returned, the Akians were prepared. They fought on a level the Targans were not prepared for, and this time it was the Akians that took the victory. But the Targans did not give up, and thus war has been raging for almost twenty five years. About three years after the first invasions of the Targans, the Akians decided to send some young to a distant planet to be safe from the war. They decided to send children too young to fully understand the full capabilities of their race so that they would not expose themselves before the time came. They decided to send them to a planet that had not yet learned of the existence of other races, a planet called Earth. The children were gathered up during a lull in the fighting, and put on ships to earth.These children were delivered to an Akian scholar studying on earth at the time, who was chosen to watch the children until they returned to their home. His name was Damian, and he took the children to various orphanages. This was almost twenty years ago, and these children are just beginning to come of age. Bands - Earth: Those who command the earth are apart of the Earthen band, and they have long been the most aggressive faction. The earthen band makes up a large part of the military force on Akia.The earthen men and women who dont join the military are the smiths and armor crafters of the planet. Water: Thsoe with dominion of the water are the Aquatic band. They tend to be the intellectuals of Akia, many scholars are Aquatic, as well as governmental figures and teachers. Flames: The Band of Flames are the artisans of the planet, crafting the finest luxury items on all of Akia. The flames are also the chefs of the planet, some claim is due to the fact that in early times they could light the fires easier than the other factions. Winds: The band of Wind is the least homogenized. No one knows why this is the case. Winds do tend to work in very front -facing positions, like doctors and entertainers. They also often work along side the flames as artisans, and so some other factions think the Winds all desire public approval, and the flames think the winds have a secret plan to undermine them, but no one has come up with a good reason as to why the band of Winds are the way they are. - Sign Ups - Name: Band: Appearance: Age(18-22 plz): Bio: Personality: - Rules - Standard stuff. Nothing extremely vulgar, light swearing acceptable but heavy profanity is not, don't mess with other people's characters, and so on. You can read the official rules thread for more details, but you can always message me to ask about something specific. Have fun!~ Example sheet Name: Damian seken Band: The aquatic band Appearance: Tall and stocky build, with a messy pile of brown hair on his head. Blue eyes, typical of the aquatic band. (pictures are good, but i couldnt find one i liked for him) Age: 52, although people think he’s 44. Bio: Damian has always been a kind and compassionate person, albeit quite timid. Throughout school he was a shy kid, preferring books to his peers, and by the time he had finished the Akian education process he stood amongst the other great akain intellectuals. He was the leader in interpersonal relations on Akia, and server as the governmental mediator 2 years after his graduation. In his mid-twenties, he decided to give up his prestigious position within the government and go learn about the people of earth. The idea of being unnoticed appealed to him as he was used to it from his childhood, and he loved to learn, so he decided living on earth to learn about them was a perfect fit. He had been on earth for almost ten years when the Targans invaded his home planet. He wanted to return home, but he feared he wouldn't be of any use. Sure, he knew Tai Chi, but he was no fighter. He remained on earth, but kept up to date with the war through his friends back home. When the Akian government were deciding where to send the young ones, Damian felt he could finally be of use. He notified the government that the people of earth knew nothing of the existence of ‘aliens’ (the Akains do not have this term), and that the kids could blend in here. In addition, provided they did not send too many young ones, which they assured him they would not, he could get them to care facilities not to far from him, and he could watch over them. The government contacted those who were apart of it while he was a mediary, and they assured the leaders that Damian was trustworthy and capable, and so they assigned Damian the task of looking after the kids on earth. Once they arrived, he took them to different orphanages all around the large city where he lived, and waited. Sooner or later they were all adopted by some miracle, and monitored them from a distance until they came of age. Tl;Dr: Damian is an Aquatic scholar who was living on earth during the first invasion, and therefore became the kids’ guardian.
