"The Elemental Cycle" Part one, chapter one: "The Beginning"
Long long ago... Before even the vast universe was created, there was nothing. Time did not even exist in this bleak uneventful plane. But this disturbing peace would not remain for long. Soon a spark appeared. Light would shine for the first time. And then another... And another... Soon the sparks grew and grew. Eventually it became to much and a massive explosion erupted into a magnificent display of light. Soon atoms even began to spring forth. Years and years passed. Millions... Billions! And soon planets started to form. The fire heated and sculpted the planets. The earth gave it a solid foundation. The water became the substance of life. And they air became the atmosphere, Allowing protection from the outside, and for life to draw it's first breath. These four elements, fire, water, air, and earth, twisted together in unimaginable harmony to create the very thing we live on...
"The Elemental Cycle" Part One, Chapter two: "Elemental Soul"
Of course, as you know. Magic is considered a very powerful and potent art. Magic comes from using a variant of your life energy that also seems to have some mystic origin to manipulate and create spectacular things. Words and movements depict what you do when casting a magic spell. Some may create fire balls, and some may even teleport you... Only about one in three have the ability to learn this art... But in even rarer cases, you may have a talent for something even more potent, deadly, and powerful. This is called bending. Bending is much more natural than magic. All it is, is using your will to bend and manipulate an element. If a wizard uses magic to cast a fire ball, once he creates and shoots it, he cannot manipulate it anymore. All he can do is make and shoot it. But a bender has the ability to constantly change the element at any time, and it does not consume magic energy. But rather it puts strain on your stamina. For centuries, people searched for a reason to why people can bend. And it is now believed that very rarely, a child will be born with an altered spirit. The child's soul will be partially infused with an elemental of one of the four planes. But still...

"The Elemental Cycle" Part One, Chapter three: "Disorder"
Though for the most part, the 4 elements are supposed to work together in an ordered harmony... It is rumored that this can be broken. It is legend that during the first elemental war, milleniums ago, a powerful bender decided to dabble in the dark arts of magic. But his will was weak, and evil spirits infested his soul. With more power, grew his greed. Soon he discovered how to tap into the elemental planes. And by enslaving the spirits that live there, he corrupted the elements, and broke the order with his pure chaos. Thus the rebellion grew and fought bravely to beat him. But in the end, the evil bender destroyed himself because he was not strong enough to control all four elements. It is impossible for anyone to control all four... At least it's supposed to be. It is rumored that if someone of evil intent and a calm mind were able to learn this act. Rather than destroying the natural order... He or she would be able to control it. Bending it to their will. But there are certain things to do in this unlikely event. First you should seek out a...

Prologue part 2,
Prologue part 2,
It is a beautiful sunny day with light winds blowing. A giant island sits seemingly in the middle of no where...
An old man with a dark grey robe on sits at a desk inside of a stone hut. He glances down at the book he is reading for a good long minute. Then he squints and reaches for his reading glasses before looking back down.
"ahhh... Thats much better" he sighs in an aged voice. He licks his finger before slowly turning the page. This continues on for a while before he eventually shuts the book and looks at the cover "The Elemental Cycle" the book is obviously extremely old with many tears in the leather binding.
"damn... If only we had the rest of the book..." He sighs leaning back in his chair and looking at the ceiling. After a minute, he sighs again and stands up clutching his staff. "Welp... Guess I have chores to tend to..." He goes to reach for the door.
"EAAAHHHHHHhhhggh....." comes a gurgled scream of terror from close by
"What happened!?" the old man screams bolting outside and looking around.
soon, a slow moving figure comes walking around the hut smiling. "Hey master... Whats with all the commotion?" He asks almost cheerfully coming up to the old man.
"Nazfurion!, didn't you hear that scream?! And why do you look so hap..." The old man's eyes widen as he looks down at Nazfurion's arms. Nazfurion has semi-long straight black hair with blue eyes. He is very skinny, and is wearing a simple outfit.
"it's ok Khrazren. That old shaman and I just had a little argument and I tried to make him see my way" The black haired youth says to the aged man.
"But why... How?!... Why are you doing this?! You've always been such a good apprentice! Why would you kill Vruden?!" Khrazren stutters taking a step back
"Well..." Nazfurion says sticking his hands behind his head "He was telling me it's impossible to control more than one element with bending. I tried convincing him it wasn't. I mean, I’m supposed to be a water bender... Because my spirit is infused with a water elemental... But if I can find other elemental spirits and control them. Why can't I bend more?"
Khrazren gets a look of pure rage on his face "How could my apprentice become so corrupt? What your talking of is impossible! how could you even access those dimensions, it would take years!"
"Years?" Nazfurion laughs "It's very simple when you have a note book telling you of the dark arts" He pulls an ancient book from his bag and shows it to the old man "you see... A year ago when I left, I went on a journey to find my family. My quest eventually lead me to the magically sealed crypt of my ancestors... No one could get in. Well unless their related. In these crypts I discovered my heritage, and these journals"
"You mean, your!--"
"Yes I am the descended of the one who originally started the war... But from his failure, I can see how to improve. I will not make his mistakes..." He pulls back his sleeve to show this strange black mark and the blood vessels around are also dark
"the tampering with the dark magic has already began to corrupt my body... But I'm off in search of what can fix it"
"though it pains me to say so!, I cannot let you continue on this path!" The old man yells. All of a sudden, giant tendrils of water rise from a near by stream.
"So be it!" Nazfurion screams, he then rises his on and clashes against his master. The water weaves through each other constantly trying to find it's way to the enemy target, but just keeps on getting intercepted by each other's on tendrils. This fight goes on for minutes, but eventually, Khrazren finds an opening, and slams Nazfurions into a tree.
"Give up apprentice... You still cannot beat me" Khrazren states calmly.
"I’m stronger than you could ever hope... Master!" Nazfurion states calmly standing up. Then all of a sudden, the odd mark on his arm glows orange, and a massive fire ball is hurled and his master. Khrazren is hit to fast to react and thrown to the ground.
Slowly, the black haired boy approaches his masters form and pulls out a dirk. "I told you I’m strong... Master..."
"But wh--..."
Khrazren's words are cut off as the dirk plunges through his heart.

Plot,
Plot,
Ok, ok, sorry about the massive prologue! I'll try to keep the plot short >_<
You play a bender. Any kind of bender you want. And recently, you have noticed something wrong in the natural order of the world. Animals may be acting strange. Odd weather sometimes. But mainly it's the fact that your part elemental that is making you attuned to nature. More so than any normal bender would be. And it is your job as a bender to unravel the mystery, and save the world! (yay, cliché!) And in your dreams, some one, or some force is telling you that if you want to find out what is going on, you must come to Serpentmoon Island. The only problem is, it is extremely difficult to gain access to the island. So right now, you are heading to Duskwater Harbor. The only place that takes boats over to Serpentmoon island, to figure out how you can get there. For some reason, you just feel extremely compelled to go. You can be doing anything, at the moment. Remember, you make up the places.
The World, (it's called Terrakora)
The world consists of four major continents. I won't get highly detailed on them, because I want RPers to customize them as you go along. But I will explain them as much as possible
Moredra: Moredra it the continent we all start on. It's the largest and most versatile, with an undefined slightly rectangular shape. It is mostly foresty, with plains, and other common sights. But especially near the middle, in can get pretty mountainous. In the southwest, there is the relatively large Ragefire Desert. Some places to know are, Well first there Duskwater Harbor in western Moredra. It is a home for rogues, villains, Exiles, and much more. And another place to know is the capital city, Torebrius. It is huge, luxurious, and has happy people, and virtually no poverty. One week every two months,
here is a huge trading even in the city, where traders from all over the world come sell their goods. Festivals are also held. It is ruled by King Torebrius the ninth
Loremedra: Lormedra is the sister continent to Moredra. It lays directly south of it. Loremedra is similar in shape and composition. Though it’s mostly tropical, with deserts, rather than foresty with plains. There is a great desert in the middle called the “Dragonscape” which has many towns, outposts, and it’s littered with the skeletons of dead dragons. At the western side of Dragonscape near the Jungle is the main City. “Land of Exiles” because it was originally founded by outcasts of their respected homes or clans. It is a very large city with a rich class, poor class, and very small in between. In the day it is busting with trade, festivities and noise. At night, you may see crime, or hear of the activities of the thieves guild. Though it is a city of rogues, the leader of the City “Lythia” believes it to be a place of freedom, and not judging She is young, but well respected. The town is patrolled by 6 elite guards. They are powerful sand benders They wear dark tank armor with hoods. Each one uses two scimitars.
Cyrond: Cyrond is the small bitterly cold northern continent. At the south is the world’s largest city. Winterspire. Named so for the giant spire in the center. A lot of things go on in this city. But mostly it’s a military outpost. They constantly get supplies in from the harbor. This place is home to some of the most deadly creatures. And the Winterspire army is constantly at war with “Frostreaver” a giant evil ice dragon with an army of evil creatures, and barbarian tribes that worship him. There are also usually nomatic ice benders.
Enigmas: Properly named… It is an almost circular continent to the west of Moredra. It is extremely hard to gain entry to this small continent, and very little is known about it.

Characters, magic, and bending,
Your character is a bender of course. But be original. Not every bender is the same. You may be an exiled monk who uses fire bending to do super heated strikes with martial arts. Or a rogue who uses air bending to bend light to create invisibility, or blind foes. In this world, there is magic and bending. You may use magic, but it must be very limited. There is no elves, or dwarves, or gnomes… But you can be a variant of a human. Like maybe a human that has cat like characteristics, or a human who has dragon’s blood in him. Or even a vampire. All genders are treated equally, unless someone happens to be sexist or something. Please ask if your not sure your character will be acceptable. You may also have some sort of magic pet if you want. It will require it’s own sign up. One last thing. Those who are powerful with bending or magic have increased life spans. The more powerful you are, the longer you can live. Our characters could probably live around 500 years… But lets start our characters out young >_<. And bending is usually self taught, taught by one master, and very rarely, a family heritage.Characters, magic, and bending,

Notes,
Notes,
I don’t want to reveal to much about the plot yet. A lot more will be revealed upon reaching Serpentmoon Island. You may have come from any continent (except Enigmas) But now, your on Moredra, and your heading to Duswater Harbor. I will accept two of each bender type. But not two plain earth benders. One may control hard rock, and dirt, while the other controls sand, and smaller pebbles and stones better. So the two earth benders are different, you see?
