THE PLOT:
To the people of the Kingdom of Anima, the heart is not just an organ or a figure of speech. The heart is the source of one's power and strength, and its magical properties are as tangible as the blood in one's veins. Everyone's heart possesses a concentration of power known as a 'heart crystal'. To consume the heart crystal of another is to rip your own heart inside out, though the more heart crystals you consume the more powerful you can become. To lose your heart crystal would turn one into an emotionless shell.
Years ago a rip in the dimensions brought creatures of darkness to Anima. They fed off the heart crystals of the people, and so they were named the animus. These heart snatchers ate up the Kingdom of Anima until there was nothing left. The guardians of Anima, seven knights whose heart crystals were merged with the hearts of the elements of their kingdom, tried to stop the animus from consuming everything. When all hope was lost for the kingdom the youngest guardian, Spirit Heart, collected the heart crystals of his fallen comrades before they could be consumed and fled to the next parallel world: Earth. Specifically, Meguro of Japan.
However, by coming to our planet Spirit Heart caused a trail that could be followed through the dimensions. The animus slithered out of the rip, but because of Earth's overall lack of spiritual energy people cannot see the animus for the monsters that they are. Spirit Heart must find new vessels for his fellow guardians here on Earth in order to save every beating heart. ABOUT HEART CRYSTALS:
A heart crystal is the concentration of one's emotions and spirit that originates in the heart. The stronger the person, the stronger and more unbreakable the crystal. Heart crystals vary in shape and color, but they are always small enough to fit in the palm of someone's hand. A heart crystal can be extracted from one's body if the person is put under extreme emotional duress or if the strength of their heart has been weakened by betrayal, sadness, or loneliness. Heart crystals are made stronger by only two things: a strong love of self, and a strong and unyielding love for another. Only having both will make a heart crystal unbreakable.
When a heart crystal shatters, two things can happen: if several pieces of the crystal remain in the person, they become a shard. If the crystal is gone from the body, then the person will become a shell. THE PEOPLE:
GUARDIANS OF ANIMA: The guardians of Anima represent the heart of the elements. Each guardian has merged their heart crystal with the heart of an element, and possesses weapons and magic specific to their element. A human can become a vessel by merging their heart crystal with the heart crystal of the guardian. The human will gain the magic and abilities of the guardian they merged with, as well as hear the guardian's voice in their head. However, since humans aren't equipped to handle strong spiritual energy it will take the vessel a while to control their new-found abilities.
SHARDS: Shards are people whose heart crystals have been broken, but shards of the crystal still remain within them. Shards are people whose hearts have been broken, either by force or emotional duress, and could not heal. They usually have an abundance of one emotion above all others, mainly anger, sadness, and loneliness and seek to break the hearts of others in order to replace the missing parts of their own heart. Shards are behind the creatures known as animus, though not all shards are in league with them.
SHELLS: Shells are people whose heart crystals have been taken from them. Shells cannot feel any emotions. Not happiness, love, or sentimentality; nor can they feel anger, sadness, or loneliness. They just are, and they have a blank look in their eyes and talk in a monotone voice. Some shells may smile or feign emotion, but they are only copying what they see others do. Currently there is no cure for a shell, and many die off years after their heart is taken.
ANIMUS: The animus are various monstrous creatures that have consumed the hearts of many worlds and have now come to Earth. Who they work for and their true goal is unknown, but their sizes and shapes vary to take on things that would make one's heart waver in fear. Some of the animus seem more human-like than others, while many are gigantic, monstrous forms of animals that are not very intelligent at all. Some animus have vibrant, human-like personalities which makes them more dangerous than any other of their kind. An animus gains emotions and a more tangent personality by consuming many heart crystals, making them very powerful. THE NEEDED:
As of right now we need all the guardians save for Spirit Heart and Spark Heart, we need civilians, and we need shards. Shells and the animus are currently non-playable.

THE GUARDIANS SPIRIT HEART over a century old – male appearance, but no set gender – guardian of spirit - npc The guardian of spirits, as well as the youngest guardian when he was back in the Kingdom. Spirit possesses the ability to absorb energy and redistribute it through touch. This ability allows him to shape-shift, as well as merge heart crystals together and sense presences of heart crystals. He is really kind and warm-hearted, but also rather anxious and blames himself for the presence of the animus on Earth. Currently this character is an NPC.

THE OTHERS
We need people to also play shards and civilians! Shells and animus cannot be played as of right now. THE APPLICATION [center][img][/img][/img][/center] [blockquote][blockquote]Name: Age: Gender: Race: Guardian, Human, or Shard. Nationality & Ethnicity: Keep in mind the RP takes place in Japan, so while your character doesn't have to be Japanese I highly encourage that they should be.
Applying for: if a guardian, which guardian are you aiming for?
PERSONALITY: Please give five positive and negative traits, either in paragraph or listed form.
BRIEF HISTORY: Just a note, a character does not join already as a guardian. They will be a made a guardian via threading. However, shards can join just as they are. Only guardians and shards can see the animus, so please don't make a civilian that can see them, too. If you are joining a shard, please explain how your character became a shard.
Overall, try to keep this section to two to three paragraphs at most.
ABILITIES: In addition to having their natural abilities that are listed, guardians also have two powers related to their element. It is up to you whether the attacks are offensive, defensive, or healing. Shards have one ability that focuses on them altering the pieces of their broken heart or the heart crystals of others. A shards' abilities can range from altering memories, moving through shadows, moving fast, having super strength, etc. They cannot control elements.
WEAPON: Guardians only.

yea Name: Nikaidou Masaki Age: Fifteen Gender: Male Race: Guardian Nationality & Ethnicity: Japanese
Applying for: Guardian of Metal, Steel Heart
PERSONALITY: + cheerful, friendly, helpful, responsible, protective - lackadaisical, insensitive, selfish, aggressive, playful
BRIEF HISTORY: Born the first and only child to the Nikaidou family, Masaki was raised with particular love and care from his parents. Alas, his father was a drunkard, while his mother was (as Masaki called her) an old hag running the family business -- a bathhouse. His father was, more often than not, drinking with customers, while his mother was content to gossip with the neighbours. Masaki was allowed to roam and mingle with the customers and their children.
Despite being inept at academics, Masaki has proven himself to be quite the fighter amongst his peers. Over time, the bathhouse had gradually became the centre for gang meetings, with him acting as a mediator between them. (His drunk father, on several occasions, mistakes him to be their leader and showers praise on him for his accomplishments.)
Now months away from high school placement exams, Masaki faces a dilemma: to drop out and run the family business or continue on with his schooling. On one hand, the bathhouse's situation with many gangs filtering in and out without his parents' knowledge is a dangerous one; on the other, he does not wish to personally taint his hands in gang fights.
ABILITIES: tbd from rp events.
WEAPON: An electric guitar. Masaki uses heavy sound waves to disrupt, disturb and distract the enemy while inflicting internal damage, especially to those with sensitive hearing. It is possible to manipulate it into different weapon forms, but he hasn't discovered how to even use his abilities, let alone attempt this.
FACE CLAIM: Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle, Daimon Kaito

Any kind of civilian, though preferably those with weakened heart crystals that would attract animus attacks. I guess since most people are making teenagers, high school student civilians are ideal but not necessary. And you can also plot so the civilian can be a family member or somehow related to another character. Basically, you can create whatever kind of civilian you want. If you have an idea for a civilian that can get in on the action - a government agent, perhaps, or someone sensitive to magic - then I think that would be intriguing!

Okay, well, two ideas: 1) Anyone want a sibling? One that apparently stood at the back of the line when fate was handing out get-out-of-animus-attacks-free cards. 2) Anyone want a kid detective--or maybe a school newspaper journalist--that's investigating strange occurrences? 3) I guess nothing stops me from doing all of the above.
