Kaijudo: Duel Masters Gaiden
Kaiju - 'Strange Beast' -do - 'way of'
Kaijudo - Way of the Strange Beast.
You are here for one reason. You were selected- chosen above and beyond your peers. You have the ability, the wisdom and the will to master the arcane arts of Kaijudo. You have what it takes to be- Duel Masters!
Welcome to Flux's first Kaijudo RP. This story will be loosely based on the universe that exists in the TV show, 'Kaijduo: Rise of the Duel Masters'. Your characters will be youngsters (older teens/young adults) who, at the start of the story, will not have monsters. The first arc will see you 'encounter' the world of Kaijudo, and you will be brought into it freshfaced and new. You will be forced to become competent quickly- dark forces are moving now. Forces that seek to rend the Veil asunder. Will you be up to the task of saving both worlds!?
Basic Info Many of the basics of the universe will be explained in-RP. For further reading, rather than copy/pasting it I recommend going to this link to check out the basics. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in cbox or pm.
History of the World A long time ago, there was one world. Man and Creature walked, side by side. But Mankind was afraid- for they were small and weak, compared to even the weakest of Creatures. They were kept as slaves, forced to perform menial tasks and back-breaking labour. Some exceptional humans were even forced to fight alongside their Creature masters, for while they were weak they had a strong capacity to channel mana.
This was both their curse, and their salvation. A secret order of freed human shamans spent several years developing this raw ability. They created a martial art, formal system of maneuvers that could control the flow of mana, so potently that it would even control the very actions of Creatures. They called this art "Kaijudo". With it, the shaman led a revolt through all five Civilizations, freeing all the captive humans. They brought the very Creature Monarchs to their knees.
A deal was brokered. The shaman and the Monarchs together wove a mighty spell- the Veil. It split the world into two halves- the Human world, and the Creature world. Finally, they thought, peace at last for mankind.
It was not to be.
The Veil was not a permanent solution. By it's very nature, it was forcing the world to fall out of balance. The chaotic essence of mana tore at it, and holes would form. From these tears in the Veil, Creatures would enter our world, and humans the realm of Creatures. Something had to be done.
The shaman gathered once more, and decided to establish an order. The order of the Duel Masters. They passed on their art of Kaijudo, and using it humans learned to cross the Veil, and to call creatures from the other side. They gathered information on creatures, establishing great libraries full of information on the enemy. Thus, the Veil is maintained down centuries of human development. Creature attacks are explained away by UFOs, Alien visits, cryptids and the like. Of particular use to the Duel Masters is the 'Cyber Virus', a Water Creature that can absorb memories from sentient beings.
You will begin your journey on this path soon enough. However, not all is well in the world. The Duel Masters are not as unified in their approach as they once were, and the truths they tell are not exactly the truth as it is...
Rules
1. I am GM. What I say, goes. I promise not to be a jerk, but if you have a problem just let me know. Santa is Co-GM. He'll be keeping me honest on a regular posting schedule.
2. This isn't the Mature RP board. Treat it like it.
3. Please try and post once a week. Heck, that's about what I'll be able to post as is, but if you want to post more that is awesome! If you have trouble posting frequently, I'll put you on a bus so the plot can keep going. You can always come back!
4. Respect each other.
That's about it, really, aside from the usual forum rules.

*If I have more interest, I'll add spots. As is, I don't want too many people just so I don't get overwhelmed on my weekly check-in >_<
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Age: (15-23) Gender: Appearance: (Pictures are fine, but remember the site rules) Personality: History: (We can play this out, but a little bit here can help me build the universe. If you'd like to have a history with Kaijudo, let me know.). Gauntlet colour(s): (Gauntlets are colored based on your Civilization alignment. Describe it!) Civilization Alignment: (All Duelists can summon and control creatures from all 5 Civilizations, but each also generally takes one Civilization to be their 'favored' one. If you'd like to dual-nature, that's fine too. Your primary creature should match your Alignment) EDIT: If you are feeling froggy, go ahead and use this to make yourself a gauntlet. Primary Creature(Your primary creature will be the main voice of the Creature Realm for you to explore. They will be your good friend and partner in crime in this adventure. Pick one creature that matches your Alignment. PM me if you have any questions). Creature: Nickname: Gender: Personality: Other Creatures(Add to this list as you summon creatures in the RP. They'll represent the utility creatures you can summon.) Spells(Not for a bit, but eventually you will learn spells. They go here.)
The Nature Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Rebecca Roscoe Age: 43 Gender: Female Appearance: Rebecca is a homely woman, who dresses in conservative attire. She keeps to the robes of the Kaijudo Master while in the Temple, changing to sensible outfits based on the weather. While she has some element of green or brown in most of her outfits, she doesn't seem to match her fellow Master's penchant for 'color coded' wardrobes. She does have an embarrassingly large number of kitty sweaters. Her brown hair is starting to grey, and she keeps it tied up in a bun. She has put on a few extra pounds since she became the Nature Master, though it doesn't bother her too much. Personality: Rebecca is a mother, not just to her family but to the entire Temple. She is directly in charge of training the new recruits to the Temple, and weeding out those who lack the conviction, skill or drive to become Duelists. She takes a 'tough love' approach to these new recruits during training, but is generally a sweetheart outside the Dojo. She is patient, though not as patient as Master Zhen, and acts as mediator between the other Masters when they disagree on something. History: Rebecca has the longest tenancy at the Dojo, second only to Master Zhen himself. She was born in London, and has never really left the city. During the day, she is a schoolteacher at a local elementary school. She teaches earth sciences and ecology, and manages the school garden. She also keeps a garden at the Dojo- or rather, on top of it. Her rooftop greenhouse is filled with specimens that have managed to make their way from the Creature Realm to ours, and she hopes that by studying them she can get a better understanding of the nature of their challenge. Gauntlet colour(s): A forest green cover, with a brighter green highlights. Civilization Alignment: Nature Primary CreatureCreature: Forsett, Heroic ShamanNickname: Torcon Gender: Male Personality: Torcon Forsett, or simply Torcon, is a mediator and an intelligent Creature. Unlike most of the other Master's creatures, Torcon has endeavored to be an envoy from the Creature Realm to the Human Realm, and has learned to speak several languages (namely Spanish, English and Chinese). He values balance and peace-seeking efforts, but is not afraid to fight when an attempt at diplomacy does not go well. Other CreaturesShe prefers to use Nature creatures, and she has a distaste for using Darkness creatures. SpellsMost of her magic spells revolve around healing her creature, or helping her allies. Her favorite spell is Energize
The Water Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Derrick Dempsey Age: 33 Gender: Male Appearance: Derrick has bright red hair, green eyes and freckles- just like his sister. Unlike his sister, He prefers to dress in ‘sensible’ clothing, preferring lightweight and form-fitting outfits. His wardrobe is dominated by blues and cyans. He is rather short for his age, and many disrespectful youths refer to him as the ‘Leprechaun’. Personality: Derrick is an emotional man, who wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s brutally honest, laughs from the heart, and while he’s been known to bend the truth he rarely outright lies. He has a knack for engineering and approaches problems like a puzzle- even if he doesn’t get it, he’ll bodger it until he does. History: Derrick and his sister, Dierdre, are both natural Kaijudo Duelists. Their parents ran a dojo in Dublin, before they moved to the London branch to help deal with the greater outbreak of creatures. While he was still an Adept, Derrick went to school for, and obtained, his engineering degree. Now he uses his knowledge to provide tech support for the Temple, and sometimes creates new gadgets to help the Adepts. Gauntlet colour(s): His gauntlet has fish and bubble qualities, looking much like an Aquan hand. It has a neptune green primary coloration, with turqoise highlights. Civilization Alignment: Water Primary CreatureCreature: Reef GladiatorNickname: Hydrus, Reef Gladiator Gender: Male Personality: Hydrus is a passionate fighter, mirroring his master’s personality. He is strongest when fighting in or around water, and so prefers to fight in that terrain. He has an eloquence to him in the creature Realm not unlike that of a quintessential ‘gentleman’. Other CreaturesOccasionally summons Fire creatures, specifically those that carry guns. SpellsHas used a few, with Veil Vortex being his signature spell.
The Fire Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Master Zhen Tong Age: 79 Gender: Male Appearance: Master Zhen is an aging man of chinese ancestry, who favors the traditional colors of a fire master- reds, bronze and burgundy. His head is bald, with wisps of white hair sticking out of the sides (and his ears). He has a long, well-kept beard. Personality:Master Zhen is the current Head Duel Master, and as such carries himself with purpose. He is a calm man, though in his youth he was known for his fiery passions. He is perpetually calm these days, and none in the temple can recall a time when Master Zhen ever raised his voice. History: Master Zhen’s history in the Kaijudo Temple of London is a storied and impressive one. He emigrated to the city when he was a child, and was inducted into the order when he was in grade school. His parents had signed him up thinking it was a simple martial-arts school. After completing his final tests, he was allowed to begin facing the threat facing the world. He eventually began teaching at the Temple, and then became Head Master 40 years ago. The past three decades have seen Master Zhen take on a more mentor-style role at the Temple, and he rarely takes the field of battle. That said, when he does he has myriad creatures to call upon. Gauntlet colour(s): Zhen’s gauntlet is red with orange highlights, with a golden gem set in the back of the hand. It appears to be made of a cured leather type Civilization Alignment: Primary CreatureCreature: Sledgehammer SlammerNickname: Mezger Gender: Male Personality: Mezger is a mighty warrior who has fought at the behest of Zhen for the better part of his career. Mezger is a creature of few words even in the Creature Realm. Other CreaturesUnknown. Master Zhen is rumored to have summoned as many as seven creatures and controlled them, at once. SpellsUnknown at this time. It is expected that he knows a wide range of them.
The Light Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Dierdre Dempsey Age: 33 Gender: Female Appearance: Dierdre Dempsey looks very much like her twin, Derrick. She doesn’t keep her hair long, and the resulting short hair has led to her being confused with her twin on several occasions. She is of slighter build than he, and a bit taller. Unlike Derrick, Dierdre does wear glasses. Her clothes are predominantly yellow and tan, but unlike one would expect they often have clashing, bright colors. Personality: Dierdre is a rebel with a cause, and doesn’t pretend to hide it. While her brother can swing emotionally from morose to ecstatic, he is usually clear on how he feels. Dierdre can come off as brash and rude on the best of days, and on the worst of days she’ll just ignore most others. She is not terribly satisfied with being Light master, but she is also too proud to turn down the position. She also feels - and perhaps she is justified in this - that she is currently the most potent Light Master in the UK, and to let someone else do a worse job is something she hates more than the bureaucratic mess that can be a Master’s life. History: As with her brother, Dierdre moved to London after spending her young adult life learning Kaijudo. She was very strict as a child, and an exemplary Duelist. Like her brother, while an Adept she obtained her degree. Unlike her brother, Dierdre studied business in school and took on the business aspect of maintaining the London Temple, creating a lucrative business model out of it. Gauntlet colour(s): Golden highlights on the fingertips and back of the hand, with the main section of the gauntlet being a warm tan color. Civilization Alignment: Light Primary CreatureCreature: Alcadeus, Winged JusticeNickname: Alcadeus Gender: Male Personality: Alcadeus is a very strict creature, and follows his orders to the letter. He and Dierdre form a potent team on the battlefield precisely because he is so quick to respond to orders. He does have a strong code of honor, though, and refuses to attack a foe that is unaware of his presence, or unarmed. Other CreaturesHas been known to summon Shaw K’Naw for fights in smaller locations. Aside from that, uses all the other nations with equal frequency. SpellsMost of her spells revolve around using light to debuff her opponents. Her favorite is Stormspark Blast
The Darkness Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Mina Martin Age: 21 Gender: Female Appearance: Mina is a lanky, skinny girl with tanned skin, a dancer’s figure and bright pink hair cut into a pixie cut. She has a nose piercing, a pair of ear piercings and a few tattoos as well. At first glance, one would think she was a rough and tumble kind of girl. One would be right- but they’d also miss out on the fact that she is incredibly enthusiastic about her job, and an earnest friend to anyone who gives her a chance. Personality: Mina is another hot-headed master, perhaps even more so than Derrick. While Derrick’s emotions wax and wane, Mina is almost always on a crusade to protect the integrity of the Veil. She is more inclined to punch first, ask questions after more punching. This does put her at odds with the other masters, especially Master Zhen. History: Mina began her meteoric rise in the ranks of the Kaijudo Masters in her homeland of Australia. The Veil is weaker than average there, and many larger and more powerful creatures tend to come through. Thankfully, many of them do so in the Outback- which is where Mina cut her teeth in Dueling. She had a knack from an early age, and managed to tame the mighty Bonerattle Dragon, Cuddles, and purged many a powerful monster. When the position opened up, her home Temple decided to send her to study under Master Zhen, hoping he could temper her uncontrolled zeal. Gauntlet colour(s): Main body of this bone-and-scale looking gauntlet is deep purple, with pale lilac colored highlights. Civilization Alignment: Darkness Primary CreatureCreature: Bonerattle DragonNickname: Cuddles Gender: Female Personality: Cuddles hasn’t displayed much personality, as she has usually been summoned in time to tackle a powerful monster. Mina swears that Cuddles earned her name in a heartwarming manner, and that she is very well behaved. Other CreaturesMina is not a subtle master, and prefers to summon either Nature or Light creatures for their might. SpellsMina is talented at spellcasting, favoring spells of banishment such as Terror Pit

Human
Name: Kimiko Ikeda Age: 19 Gender: Female Appearance: Kimiko has light brown hair and purple eyes, standing at 5’5”. She usually wears a simple light purple dress with a white belt and white flip flops. Hair braiding is one of her guilty pleasures, and when she has time she often plaits her hair in a neat French braid. Personality: Though Kimiko is a rather quiet girl, she possesses confidence and spunk in spades. Prone to being cynical and distrustful of strangers, she often comes off as a little cold or shy, but beneath the cool exterior is a warm and loving heart, and she can get very attached to other people who she spends a lot of time with. However, few people ever get to even glimpse her warmth, as she tends to be rather reserved and doesn’t like to disclose her feelings much. She’s not the most social or outgoing of people, but she’s not averse to making friends if she finds them tolerable.
Kimiko’s very active and likes keeping fit, participating in a variety of sports at and outside of school. She’s a passionate horse rider, and somehow finds time for tennis, badminton, cycling and cross country on top of that. She’s a bit too shy for team sports, and feels much more comfortable around animals.
History: From an early age, Kimiko has lived a fairly independent life. Her Japanese father left her British mother when she was two, and Kimiko’s mother, a software engineer, was often too busy with work to pay her much care or attention. Nevertheless, the two have a good relationship, and on the rare occasions her mother gets time off, they enjoy spending their time going shopping or travelling together. Thanks to a decent income, hefty inheritance and wise spending, Kimiko grew up in comfort and luxury.
At school she found herself easily bored by her peers, and she often spent time sitting by herself in the playground and reading. Though her odd behaviour and personality quirks attracted some bullying at first, her sharp tongue and a few good kicks soon convinced her would-be bullies to find some other target. Kimiko flourished into a bright, confident young lady with a strong interest in economics and politics, albeit a little lacking in the social skills department.
After finishing secondary school, Kimiko has begun her freshman year at college, planning to major in economics and do some good in the world.
Gauntlet colour(s): The base of the gauntlet is a deep crimson, adorned by a fiery golden pattern licking along its back with a bright orange flame symbol at its centre. Civilization Alignment: Fire
Primary Creature
Creature: Kenina the Igniter Nickname: Kenina Gender: Female Personality: Kenina is a friendly, cheerful and enthusiastic little bird, who keeps a positive outlook on life. She’s confident and sure of herself, never afraid to speak up or state her own opinion. Though she is often a little blunt and doesn’t think before she speaks, she possesses a big heart. She can be rather hotheaded and impatient, in contrast to Kimiko, and has a tendency to be rather stubborn.

Added a little paragraph on Howl's personality he's now the boy scout geek...
I didn't added in the history, but we can safely assume that he's going to be in the city where things are going to happen due to university reasons?
Other than that, there's else I should take care of in the sign up or other creatures and spells are to come later?

@Kay- all is well, you are set for your character!
@Shine- Looks good! If you could please include a reason your character is in London and/or explain in the first few posts how you got there, that'd be the only thing I can see still being needed (since your japanese/american heritage implies an american upraising)

I'll try to get it up this week, but if not, I don't want to hold anyone up. Sorry about that. Also probably going to change Menou a bit so she doesn't duplicate things too much with other characters so I'll have rethinking to do...
Having two Japanese heritage girls in London just doesn't make sense so I'll come up with a new character somehow.
