5. Have fun.

Plot:

19 years ago, a group of scientists discovered a massive river of pure energy flowing through the earth's crust.It was dubbed the "Lifestream" after they discovered it had remarkable healing properties. After being exposed to the golden yellow aura, diseases and other problematic conditions were cured in any life form that came in contact with the energy. Not only did the Lifestream heal, it was also able to power any machine it was applied to. Because of these unique properties, it was decided that the Lifestream would be used as the world's power source. To accomplish this, 16 facilities were constructed worldwide to tap the Lifestream, using the siphoned off energy for power. Unbeknownst to the world at large however, the Lifestream had another purpose. It was created millennia ago to seal away an unstable demonic energy of terrible power. The creators, and secret guardians of the Lifestream, the Sanctum, began to wage a battle to stop the draining of the Lifestream, and to prevent the dark force beneath it from being released. As the fight waged on for months, Sanctum called upon their avatars of the land, air, and sea. The three avatar monsters, The Big Saturn, The Splendid Venus, and The Tyrant Neptune, began attempting to seal the taps on the Lifestream, but were beaten back. After six months the Lifestream was beginning to weaken, and this caused an upset in the natural balance. The weakening caused three great dragons to awake: Critias, the dragon of the mind, Hermos, Dragon of the body, and Timaeus, Dragon of the soul. The dragons began to destroy everything in their path in attempt to destroy the Lifestream, the dark force, and the warring factions in order to bring balance again. Seeing this, the Sanctum knew that their mission was in vain, and they sealed away fragments of lifestream energy with each of the avatars' cards, hoping they would be of use some day. The dragons continued to fight, but the Lifestream was too far gone, and it disintegrated, releasing the dark energy. The world was powerless to stop it, and without energy, systems shut down entirely. Widespread famine and disease ensued, and the dark energy covered the earth, seemingly feeding on the negative emotions from the starving populace and growing larger. Eventually, it took a physical form, and it's birth caused a massive energy wave that annihilated much of the earth's population and burned most of the landscape, turning it into a vast desert. The dragons sacrificed themselves to keep it from consuming the entire planet, and sealed the newborn beast away by sealing themselves in their own cards. As they faded away, the dragons each subtly marked a young Human and a Monster. Each duo was fated to meet one another, and together would one day discover their respective dragon , and use it to fight the coming darkness. As well, the dark beast branded a trio three dragons before its sealing, creating servants that would work toward the destruction of its enemies and is rebirth. They were known as the malefic trinity, and were composed of a corrupted Blue Eyes, Red Eyes, and Stardust dragon. Each dragon's armor comes equipped with a hologram projector and built in duel disk and card database, allowing them to duel. Through it all, about 86% of all life was extinguished within two short years...

Fast forward seventeen years. Earth is now mostly a vast, barren desert, with sporadic fields of farmable, green land, various mountain ranges, and many decaying ruins. It is a struggle to survive in this dark new world. Many human survivors have been transformed by a mysterious mutagen recently. The mutation gives the afflicted person enhanced physical abilities and stature, as well as giving them the ability to harness the negative energy left over from the cataclysm in duels; using it to conduct shadow duels and steal souls in order to gain power and as a form of sustenance. These mutants have been dubbed "newborn" by those unaffected due to the memory loss associated with the transformation. Scorning regular humans, newborn refuse to consider themselves the same species. Banding together, they have formed the first new nation: lokista. The nation is founded on newborn superiority, and it is a theocracy. Lokistans worship three dark entities, of whom little information is known to outsiders. Also created due to to the negative energy, the three dark entities manifest themselves as duel monsters cards known as the wicked gods.The gods feed on souls collected by the newborn, and when they devour enough, they will be able to create a permanent, physical form. The wicked gods rule lokista, sharing some power with high ranking clergymen. The gods select a "bearer" for themselves to communicate through (due to the fact that they cannot come into the physical world for long periods), and reside in their respective bearer's deck until his or her death. The Malefic trinity continue to operate individually, devouring any lifestream energy they come in contact with, and working toward breaking their master's seal. The avatars, Splendid Venus, Tyrant Neptune, and Big Saturn, have been discovered, and have worked with new human partners to recreate the Sanctum organization, which now actively hunts down all negative energy related threats, including the Malefic trinity and even The Wicked Gods and Lokista. Lokista has begun a series of military conquests, meeting little resistance from scattered human populations. Monsters, however, have begun to put up a fight, and are creating problems for the nation militarily. Elsewhere, the humans marked by the three dragons, known in myth and rumor as the "Dragonmarked" are coming of age, and have met with their monster familiars, and soon fate will bring them to their legendary dragons. Now, Lokista is advancing into the wastelands, and waging a genocidal war on all who live there. Resistance is frequent, but the fighters are being overwhelmed by sheer numbers. A storm is brewing on the horizon. Soon, the demons of the past will re-awaken, threatening to destroy an already shattered world...

World:

As stated above, the world is a burnt mad-max like desert, with a few habitable farming areas, scattered communities, Lokistan cities, and myriad ruins. It is populated by three main races: Humans, Newborn, and Monsters. Humans live in scattered areas. Some live in small communities, while others are solitary scavengers in the wastelands. Newborn live primarily in the xenophobic, and a little genocidal, nation of Lokista. The Nation is expanding rapidly, incorporating newborn and killing or making slaves of everyone else. Duel monsters vary greatly. Some of the more human like ones live in human settlements. Others live high in the mountain ranges created by the cataclysm, and have formed their own societies. These groups have gained a lot of influence due to the monsters' natural combat abilities. Crossing them normally does not end well, as only the military arm of Lokista has stood up to them and won. More still are used as beasts of burden, either by domestication or by force. Technology from before the cataclysm is in high demand, and many individuals make a living in salvaging lost technology such as duel disks, machine parts, and even rare cards. As for dueling, it still occurs frequently, and many duels are fought over food, water, tech, or territory. This is made all the more deadly by the newborn's ability to steal souls through duels. Real monsters sometimes partake in the duels instead of holograms from duel disks, normally due to low power on the disks and/or the monster getting a piece of the prize. Needless to say, duels can be pretty dangerous. Turbo duels have declined in popularity due to the lack of runners, but they still occur on occasion. The sanctum organization is growing in numbers and strength, with its new leaders commanding the three avatar monsters. Their ultimate goal is to seal away the malefic trinity and the wicked gods within a new lifestream, and the organization will do almost anything to accomplish this. As for the three dragonmarked and their monster familiars, they are completely unaware of their destinies, and there is no indication that they are the fabled dragonmarked at all. However, there will be no doubt once they come into possession of their legendary dragons. The dragons themselves want to destroy the malefic trinity, the wicked gods, and the sealed demon beneath the earth, eliminating the need for a new lifestream. This will put them at odds with sanctum. The Malefic trinity work toward their one goal of breaking their creator's seal. They seek to accomplish this by preying on anything they come across in order to create enough negative energy to break the seal. They also destroy any fragments of the lifestream they can find. The wicked gods, despite being aberrations created by negative energy, are considered deities by newborn, and each one's Bearer holds a high position in lokista, and holds the card of his or her god. Their main objective is Lokistan domination of the entire planet; making them antagonistic to any and all other forces.

1. Name: Alex Vastre

2. Age: 17

3. Gender: Male

4. Physical description/Picture:

5. Race: Human

6. Faction: Dragonmarked (Critias)

7. Deck type: Blue Eyes/fusion

8. Destined Card: Legendary Dragon Critias

9. Ace Card: Blue Eyes White Dragon(Fenris): Fenris was born with pale golden colored eyes, a rare birth defect in his species. It is considered to be a curse if a Blue Eyes White Dragon chick hatches with this eye color. Thus, Fenris was cursed, ridiculed, and ignored as a child, causing him to hate his clan. Eventually, this hatred turned into violence, and he fought other dragons regularly, snapping at the drop of a hat. One of these fights saw him taking on three other blue eyes, and Fenris killed two and crippled the third. He barely survived, and was exiled and left at the base of his former mountain home for dead. Luckily, he was found by Alex. Alex quickly befriended Fenris and earned his trust by nursing him back to health. The two became good friends after Alex said that Fenris's eyes were "cool": the first compliment he'd ever received about them. Fenris is very violent and is quick to start a fight. He frequently gets into physical fights with people who offend him. It is said that commenting negatively on Fenris's eyes will end in about the same way as a death sentence. Fenris is large for his species, and despite the difficulty, has learned to speak english and is Currently learning to write. His eyes are actually a sign that Critias has blessed him, although he doesn't know it. He is fond of snapping his jaws dangerously close to someone's face to intimidate them, and is fond of making threats. Despite his personality, he is a powerful ally. Fenris has a soft spot for lamb, and will go to absurd lengths to get a hold of it.

10. Biography: Alex Vastre was born a mere two months before the negative energy cataclysm. At the time of the disaster, Alex and his family were living near the epicenter of the final battle. Just before the energy wave struck, Critias noticed something special about the boy, and chose Alex as his dragonmark just before the great dragon faded away. Alex's father was killed in the disaster, and his mother raised him with great difficulty during the ensuing years. A genius when it came to practical, hands on matters, Alex learned to survive in the post apocalyptic world well. He learned how to repair machines from an early age, and helped ensure that his mother and himself would not starve by taking part in salvage operations with various parts dealers. Through this he acquired a love for duel monsters cards, and Salvaged a white MK1 duel disk for himself. The disk contained one card: a Blue Eyes White Dragon, and Alex chose to base his deck around this monster. 2 years ago, Alex's mother died of a viral infection, and he decided to go out on his own. It was in his wasteland travels that he met Fenris, and the two became friends and business partners, with fenris accompanying Alex on salvage jobs and providing protection for the two. Despite the harsh reality of the world he lives in, Alex is kind hearted and compassionate. Unlike Fenris, he does not get angry easily. He serves as a voice of reason for the duo, and often has to reel Fenris in. Alex can get overconfident at times, but still tends to have a clear head.

Interesting, I'd probably join but I like how the three dragons were done originally more, plus you took my fav, plus I'm busy with other stuff.

<----Making own version of DDM.

evilfusion · August 11, 2010

Name: Malefis

Age: She claims no older than 2200. It is best not to argue.

Gender: Female

Physical description/Picture: Observe avatar. More seriously, a Stardust Dragon covered in corrupted black armor, particularly covering her wings, chest, and part of head. Has bladed knee joints.

Race: Monster (Sin Stardust Dragon)

Faction: Malefic Trinity

Deck type: Stardust Dragon (Dragon-based Synchro deck)

Ace Card(s): Stardust Dragon and its various upgraded forms (Shooting Star Dragon, Majestic Star Dragon, Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, Malefic Stardust Dragon)

Biography: Malefis has always been in the shadow of other dragons, in particular her older brother, who is reknowned throughout legends. Every acheivement or accomplishment she ever strived for was compared to that of her brother, and her accomplishment invariably paled to what he could do or had done. This growing resentment was originally used as motivation for her to improve herself through training and taking on greater challenges, but other dragons always remarked how futile her struggles were. As centuries wore on, Malefis' anger and hatred manifested itself as homicidal tendencies, with humans as the scapegoat for her wrath. Humans, she reasoned, were the animals of the world, living as dominant members of society when their power is nothing more than embers before the wind of a dragon's strength. This viewpoint became a firmly ingrained fact in her psyche and she grew to further despise dragons who allied themselves with humans, seeing that it had happened many times throughout all of history, once again giving humans status and importance they don't deserve.

Feeling that her brother, a famed dragon of legend, gave the specie a bad name and her an unfair expectation, she sought to remove the ties to her specie and gain an identity of her own, separate from the expectations of others, many of whom she branded as treacherous to the superiority of the dragon race. Sensing her inner hatred and desire, Malefis was offered the Sin Armor, which she accepted eagerly, shedding the pure appearance of a female Stardust Dragon and emerging as a shadow of her former appearance, nearly unrecognizable, even to her family. With the new strength granted to her, she gleefully acted on her destructive desires and all but laid waste to the human world within the years allowed to her. Viewing the newborn as humans striving to survive, Malefis despises them with equal passion to that of real humans, but is less inclined to assault them. Unlike the expected motives of the other Malefic monsters, Malefis has no interest in breaking the 'master's seal' for she expects that if it is released, her self-appointed reign over the world will come to a close.

I'll get around to posting an application sometime in the near future, hopefully. You chose rather bad timing to start an rp, as far as my scheduling goes, which we've already talked of.

9. Ace Card: Organization XIII The Freeshooter

10. Biography: Once the son of an all-powerful mighty immortal being, he was killed during a plane crash. His father then decided to revive his son, and so he called forth his son's Heart, Soul, and Mind and created a Body for them. But the result had no personality or appearance. The father knew he needed a personality and an appearance, and they would only be gained by interaction, and thus he sent the being to a different dimension, which one he didn't know, or care. The being, Anon, then began building up a personality and an appearance, but they weren't complete. He currently began fending for himself and his life, origins unknown.

BANZAI!!!! · August 11, 2010

Not accepted. Why? Because the character has nothing, litterally. No personality, no memory, He isn't even in his own dimension. I kind of like your deck though, but i'm not sure it would work here. try to whip up a better character if you wish to re-apply.

Merci · August 11, 2010

He's been in the dimension two years, so he already has a personality and an incomplete appearance.

The father knew he needed a personality and an appearance, and they would only be gained by interaction, and thus he sent the being to a different dimension, which one he didn't know, or care. The being, Anon, then began building up a personality and an appearance for two years, and he finally obtained a personality. But then Anon realized he could only gain appearance through dueling, and thus so. Soon, he wanted to help end the sufferings of people, despite being in the world only two years, and so allied with the Sactrum.

Aeolus is a very quiet character who rarely speaks outside of duels.

TotalObelisk · August 11, 2010

I'd like to reserve a spot, I've got a character idea already, I just need to write up a deck list...

BANZAI!!!! · August 11, 2010

Obelisk: sure. not sure what you want reserved though.

Lizard: not accepted. Your character has little to no backstory, and what backstory he has contradicts the rp world. not only that, but your deck is op'd. Fix these errors and re-apply

TotalObelisk · August 11, 2010

K...Question, if we have a dragonmarked character do we need the legendary dragon cards or can we/do we obtain them later?

BANZAI!!!! · August 11, 2010

the dragonmarked will obtain their legendary dragon later. the link to the cards is here: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/208093-legendary-dragons/page__p__4339449__fromsearch__1#entry4339449

Oh yay can I use a card similar to the original legendary dragons, the 1 I have in mind fuses with spells to make monsters.

1. Name: Kauki

2. Age: 19

3. Gender: Male

4. Physical description/Picture: Old picture is old ><

5. Race: Human

6. Faction: Dragonmarked (Hermos)

7. Deck type: Sunlight Warrior (uses custom cards)

8. Destined Card Legendary Dragon Hermos

9. Ace Card: Alcadeias, Elemental Lord of Light / Trigon (familiar)

10. Biography: Kauki was born shortly before the cataclysm but has no memories from before it. He was raised by his older brother in a small community living in the ruins of an old city. There he learned to duel and along with his brother used this skill to defend the community from would-be-raiders and in order to gather any supplies they needed. However, because his brother was gathering old technology to repair a duel runner he'd found, they where often the target for attack and eventually his brother was killed. Kauki managed to hide the duel runner but practically everything else was taken by the raiders and their community soon began to die out. A few years after this happened, Kauki came across Trigon, a monster that had deserted his companions in an attempt to seek new hope for the world's restoration and had sensed that Kauki had been marked by Hermos, though he has yet to tell him of this fact. Trigon artificially powers Kauki's duel runner and duel disk with his own abilities and swore that he'd help Kauki get over his brother's death and allow him to fulfil his destiny. In exchange Kauki has become Trigon's loyal companion and the two of them travel in search of anyone who may be able to help them restore the world to how it should be.

Kauki is a very quiet and solemn character, appearing not to care about anything at first glance. However Kauki is a determined duelist and very keen on the idea of 'restoring the light of the world' to paraphrase. Due to his duel runner, he is often the target of people trying to take it off him and so he has learned a great deal about dueling because of this as well as what was taught to him by his brother. Kauki's duel runner doesn't work completely, its duel functions don't work unless Trigon is powering his duel disk (in which case the duel runner won't move). Similarly his duel disk can only produce holograms and Kauki needs to do everything else such as shuffling and sending cards to the graveyard manually. Trigon remains inside Kauki's duel disk when he's dueling in order to power it except when Kauki plays Trigon, in which case Trigon will partially emerge from the duel disk in order to take part in the duel.

[spoiler=deck list]

Links included.

Kuaki's deck is mainly cards he's scavenged over he years, as such the strategy is very loose hence the number of cards which gain effects when there are no other monsters on his field. It follows a sunlight theme, coinciding with his ambitions and uses mainly LIGHT Machine-type monsters.
