We have come to realize that ...
In this world ...
Hearts are always connected.
1000 years ago, we all lived on this planet peacefully ... at least that's what I've been told.
What exactly happened back then ... I'm really not sure. I just know that it was something very bad, that pitted all of the races on this planet against one another. What, or who, caused this tragedy - to this day - remains a mystery to all. All that I know ... is that now, 1000 years later, we are still locked in this war of survival. The planet has slowly deteriorated, once bountiful cities turning to rot; once thriving forests have changed to deserts - it's as if the planet is slowly dying ... No ... as if it's trying to stop this conflict that's been going on for a century. For generations - all we have known are battles.
The Lycan race has taken over the forests of this world, their camps number greatly across the globe. They are the closest to the Earth, and as such seem to think that they have the right to take charge of this planet as their own. They are fierce fighters, their strange abilities of changing forms no longer held down by the light of the moon. They kill many, taking no pity on any of those beyond their own species. It's to the extent that some say they are the ones who started this conflict, but I find this unlikely. There are a few nomadic packs of these creatures that pose no ill will towards other races, and wish for an end to this fighting. The Lycans were once great friends with Humans ... however now, kill them on site. They claim that Humans are the route of evil that have slowly brought the ruin of this world, and the Vampires ... well they are considered demons incarnated to walk this planet and plague them.
The Vampire race has taken over the cities, their striking beauty, along with their innate powers of persuasion, deception, and notorious cunning allowing them to control much of - at least what's left of it - the world government. They seem to think that their breeding is the highest in this world, and that all other races should serve them as either food or slaves. The Lycans, and the Vampires never got along perfectly to begin with - they were born natural enemies after all. Humans, have always been a source of food for the Vampires - yet there is evidence to support the coexistence of Vampires and Humans without casualties caused by either race. Though they are few, there actually are those who - like the Lycans - wish to stop the conflict once and for all. They often live for one to two years in one spot before - like the Lycans - becoming nomads that trace through the freezing mountains of the world. Others think that it is the Vampires who started this ... and I would be prone to support that, if evidence hadn't pointed otherwise.
The Humans have been forced to the edges of the map, living in small costal towns. Some have the misfortune to live between both Lycan and Vampire territory, falling prey to both species. Humans want to survive, and because they feel threatened, and are by nature fearful of things greater than them, think the only way to ensure survival is to annihilate anything above them. Humans and Lycans once shared a strong bond, and taught one another many things; at the same time Vampires and Humans also held a strange bond. Humans were the thing that linked the Vampire and Lycan, quelling their battles and bringing them to a complete peace that allowed all to live in harmony. How this was done, is unknown in this day and age. The only thing that is known is that somehow Humans must once more become the link between these two amazing species. How this will be done ... is unknown.
Throughout the years many from each of these three races have come together, gathering to try and stop this quarrel. They have tried many times, and many times have failed. It is now that in this day and age, a new plan of action came to pass. With the technology of both Human, and Vampire; and with the natural link of Lycan's with the Earth the few pacifists of these great races have achieved something astounding. They have created a fourth race, that they believe will be able to stop this age old battle once and for all. The process was rather simple; children of varied ages, and races, were all gathered, and experimented upon. Cruel, yes, but it was deemed necessary by all in order to achieve peace. These children's DNA were broken analyzed before parts were replaced with compounds found in natural elements. Each child held control of one element - some common and others very uncommon. Their natural abilities were enhanced - agility, strength, vitality, etc. - all gaining the ability to rival that of both Lycan and Vampire.
Each of these children were given a bar code with a number which represented which 'series' or generation they were a part of, and it was tattooed somewhere on the child's body. From then on they were trained in many things - combat, strategy, stealth, history, etc - in underground laboratories located in the colder mountains of the world. An army of these 'pacifists' are gathering, planning to use this new race - known as Hybrids - as their "trump cards" to quell this age old battle once and for all. However, the problem lies in the Hybrids themselves, they are seen as freaks of nature by all the races - even those who created them - they are mere tools to be used in this game. Many generations have been made, the older ones placed in observation tanks or cells for confinement. Each were labeled as either failures or were to be used to enhance further generations.
The final part of the Hybrids is a fail-safe, in case they go out of hand. Each is created with only half an existence, meaning that they are ineffective in combat without a partner. Because each contains an element, they are paired with another element which 'boosts' or 'complements' their own element and abilities. Without these partners they can't call on their breed's abilities, or knowledge. In the past there were generations created without partners which complemented them ... the result was monstrous. They held power that exceeded that of the newer generations ... and that was the problem. From fear these older generations were disposed of, or locked away. Despite this fact the one truth in all of these Hybrids is that they all seek out their partners. It's a strange phenomenon indeed. It was once described to me by a female hybrid as a "Magnetic pull that starts deep within your chest". She also told me that without their partner it's as if they are not whole - as if they are half of who they are. Because of this many wander aimlessly searching for this "other half" of theirs. Without their partners they are ... "like empty dolls lying in the snow".
Despite the high security of these laboratories, a few of these amazing creations have escaped. Some in pairs, while others set out on their own in search of their halves. Some that ventured out alone may never find those others ... yet some may. I feel that the life of the generations to come lie in the hands of this amazing breed known as the Hybrid. However ... I am fearful; the conditions that these beings went through in their childhood were extreme ... I hope they do not turn on us and wipe all of us from this planet in revenge. I find this highly unlikely, for I have seen the drive of these individuals and see that they - like us - wish to end this war. They wish to live out their lives in peace.
A young girl also once told me something I found very intriguing. I asked her a question, well to be as clear as possible, I asked her: "How do you know who your partner is, if you've never seen their face?" She replied with something that exceeded her young years: "It's like we hear a voice, not the voice of the element we're fused with, and it's not our own. It calls out to us, and we call for it saying 'call my name'." She then paused, looking out to the snow as if something in her had been triggered, before adding something that nearly brought tears to my eyes. It was as if she were speaking to a person she'd never met in her life, never heard or seen - yet she knew they were there somewhere, and no matter the distance she wished to reach them. Those words have given me hope in the races gathered in the name of peace, and that hope allows me to sleep at night knowing that one day, we will see an end to this senseless war.

No, you aren't invincible.
No, you can't kill thousands with a flick of your finger.
Yes, if you try any of this I will kick you out.
2. Literacy and grammar will be enforced ten fold.
I'm sorry but, I refuse to sit around and see incorrect spelling and uncompleted sentences.
3. Posts must be at least two paragraphs.
This is fair, and is the minimum amount. No, two paragraphs isn't too much to ask for.
4. Try to post at least twice a week.
This is the minimum.
I love those who post more than twice a week though, and doing such will indeed get on my good side. :]
5. Be creative for goodness sake.
Simple. This is a pretty open plot line, so use your imagination. No one likes role-playing with a block of wood.
6. Adjectives are amazing.
No one, and I mean no one likes sitting there and reading something that will put them to sleep. Put time and thought into your post, and most of all details. Would you want to read something along the lines of - "The pony jumped." No, I didn't think so either.
7. Let's keep the Race/Race ratio as close as possible.
I understand it can't be neck and neck, but please try to keep it as close as possible. I don't want one race outnumbering another too much, because in all honesty, that's just not really that natural when you're talking of (some) immortal beings.
8. 24 Hour time limit.
If you wish to be part of this, and you want to post a template, but you say something along the lines of "Reserve me a spot!". You have EXACTLY 24 hours, yeah no more - no less, to post a template or you 'spot' will vanish. I'm sick of seeing people say that they want part of something yet do nothing to show it. I will PM you if I feel it necessary. Do us all a favor, post a template ASAP.
9. Please, keep Romance and Language to a PG-13 level.
We have younger people that see this site, so let's be nice to them.
10. Have any questions? PM me.
I'm not mean, and feel free to ask me anything at all.
I love helping. In fact - I can't help, helping.
It's a rather big hobby of mine actually.
11. You fail to follow any of these rules, you will be kicked out on your butt.
Simple. No chances. You fail, then you fail. You're out.
Also, to even be considered the password is 'Triumph'.
You don't post the password - you don't get accepted.
Why yes, I am a very snide little bitty. :]
