In times past, there was an emperor by the name of Azozenrath. As much as he was a cruel and powerful warrior, he was also a cunning and corrupt magician of terrible note. He brought the kingdoms of Estaria to their knees and snuffed out dynasties like the flames of a candle. All of Estaria cried out for an end to their woes and sought aid from the ageless ones.

For years the people of Estaria suffered. Their majestic forests were burned to the ground, their villages were plundered and the people were enslaved. Not even on the highest mountain peaks could the Estarians find peace. Azozenrath’s reign left wounds on the land, sea and the very heavens.

It was then that word of great warriors, no champions, had risen in the land. They were strange beings, human like themselves, yet alien to Estaria, though gifted with great powers. Uniting as one force, the Champions of Estaria defeated Azozenrath, and then disappeared, never to be seen again.

Five hundred years have come and gone, though the wages of war still scar the land. The civilizations that thrived prior to Azozenrath’s rise to power now dwindle, many on the verge of extinction, if not extinguished already. Forests have risen where ruins remain, and rivers flood lands which were once maintained. In a sense, the impact of humanity lessened greatly as nature reclaimed the fallen settlements.

However with these changes came new threats. Rumors of creatures preying on those who strayed too near to the wilderness have grown rampant throughout Estaria. Foul beasts plague the lands, a threat to all, though no one knows their origins.

Meanwhile on present day Earth, you’re enjoying your usual pastime on a Sunday afternoon, when suddenly you begin to feel incredibly sharp pain in your head. Before you have the opportunity to deal with the sudden onset of pain you pass out.

Estaria is comprised of four main continents:
Enimos - The uninhabited perpetually snow covered continent of the north.
Stalis - The smallest continent, which houses the golden tree.
Rianan - The continent of the east, known for Alum's spine which splits the continent in two.
Ahbenrah - The continent of the west, on which the Kar'Dak Desert lies.

There were once six great empires, the ruins of three only remain, while the other two were swallowed by the forests and the last hidden beneath the sands.

The level of technology is medieval, though a "crystal-punk" sort of society exists in Bregora.

Username: Infinity
Name: Zane Netratus
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality: Zane is the calm, collected type of person. However, he is in no way quiet or shy. Though, he has some insight on certain things, he sounds a bit naive when he speaks. He is appreciative of the little things or gestures. At times, he can get controlling and fierce. When he is like this, he claims his 'other half' of his personality is coming out.
Appearance: Zane has a little over average build than most teenagers his age. Thick black hair with fair tan skin. His eyes are a deep brown. He's also tall, and most people think he's older than he is.
Bio: Growing up, Zane had a pretty normal life starting out. His father a police officer and his mother a nurse, they occasionally had to struggle making ends meet with the high cost of living nowadays. Nonetheless, they still considered themselves middle class. Zane was the second born out of three, an older brother and a younger sister, named Niko and Janice, respectively. In the summer, Niko would work at a grocery store to earn a little extra money.One day, Zane was 10, the whole family went out, doing their usual Saturday errands, the parents food shopping, Niko was going to get some clothes for school, Zane to get a new video game, and Janice wasn't going to get anything special, but she was too young, and couldn't be left home alone. 14 minutes later, the family crashed into another car. The other car's driver, a teenager who had just learned to drive, had been texting away. No serious injuries, or anything happened, but from that moment on, they became closer than they already was. Perhaps a little too close. They then went out somewhere different every Friday afternoon. If they didnt have any money to go out, they would stay inside and improvise.
Eventually, Niko graduated and moved onto college, and ever since then, the little getaways hadn't been the same. It was like something was missing. Eventually they learned to get around it. One day, Zane had been studying for a test he needed to pass to get into college, the test was Thursday. All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain and fell unconcious.

Username: Green Mage
Name: Akira Ayers
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Personality: Akira is a quiet yet generous girl, if at times air headed. She takes on a entirely new personality switch when wearing masks however. Generally, said personality is much more excitable, prone to theatrics and acting like a "hero of justice".
Appearance: She has a lean build, which is well toned though often hidden under clothing. Her height is slightly above average, but she tends to slouch in a way to avoid attention. Her wavy black hair is at shoulder length, although she keeps most of it in a pony tail, leaving the sides and her bangs long. When in her mask self, she shows a more confident self.
Bio: Born to a Japanese business woman, and a American police officer, most of her early childhood was spent on self-defense classes her father insisted on, and her babysitter, who mostly tended to her needs, and liked watching wresting and cheesy shows, which she watched with him. Up to her high school days were relatively normal, until a certain day occurred. She found one of her friends was being bullied in a alleyway while shopping. Wearing a ski mask she recently bought, she rushed to his aid, fending off the bullies and running off as they were all gone. She felt completely different, a feeling of elation even when doing this. So she wound up doing this a couple times, stopping a couple crimes here and there. She stopped afterwards after considering the problems it would cause for everyone involve, but not after being a sort of infamous icon in the city. Although she quit trying to be a hero, she occasionally wore it in secret, as she felt more free in many ways. On that Sunday day, she was off on her motorcycle, as a recently graduated student.

He plays boardgames in his spare time, managing to organise games over the internet with other like-minded fellows or otherwise collects models of ships, planes and soldiers.

Username: Terra
Name: Christopher "Chris" Lin
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Personality: A rather reserved and shy teenager. Goes with his gut when making decisions for himself, which usually turns out well. Cynical of authority, and always questions in his head the leader's decision-making abilities. Well-meaning when criticizing people(which he does quite regularly), but doesn't realize that he can be annoying to those close to him. Feels physically and mentally vulnerable when on his own.
Appearance: A 170cm Asian, Chris is substantially taller than most of his classmates. He's approximately 60kg, and is slim, but not lean, as he never did much sport. His eyes are black, and his skin tone is pale from many hours sitting in front of a computer. Wears a plain black T-Shirt and jeans.
Bio: When he was just six years old, Chris' Asian parents, "kiasu"(don't want to lose) as they were, constantly pressured Chris with multiple threats if he didn't do well in his studies, get top in his class for everything, and bring honor to the family name through constant amounts of intellectual competitions. It worked, and Chris won multiple accolades, including the Commonwealth Essay competition, Project Earth, and getting perfect every year for the Maths Olympiad, but Chris never felt a connection to his parents because of that. At university, Chris became a very talented speaker and English Literature student, proving his eloquence time and time again in countless amounts of literature discussions with his lecturer. This talent, however, brought him few friends and many enemies(due to jealousy). While doing an assignment in his bedroom, he felt the pain in his head and was transported to Estaria.

Username: Live Grenade
Name: Kassidy Pride
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Personality: Stubborn to a fault, Kassidy is a very independent person. She has little regard for anyone's judgement but her own, and her habit of constantly outsmarting others doesn't do much to change that outlook. She has a bloated sense of superiority, and is rather arrogant. Despite this, she shows unwavering loyalty to anyone who can manage to earn her respect.
Appearance: Kassidy stands at nearly six feet, substantially taller than average for a girl her age. Her height can be attributed to her long legs. Aside from her height, though, she sports a nondescript build. She wears her golden hair in an elevated bob, as long hair tends to be bothersome. Her complexion is fairly clear, but her skin is a very light brown. Her lips are thin, and her eyebrows nearly always form a skeptical arch above her cloudy blue eyes.
Bio: Kassidy has always had a gift for sleight of hand. As early as middle school, Kassidy had been scamming other students out of cash with her knack for deception. She saw others as suckers, imbeciles unworthy of her attention and useful only for what they were carrying in their pockets. Because of this, she had quite a lot of trouble making friends. Those who knew her referred to her as either "Kass", or "b****", depending on who you ask. As time went on, the girl found a more constructive use of her skills and became an illusionist. She traded the potential of profit for the chance to fool people in mass, something that gave her a feeling of smug satisfaction.

Kassidy was at home practicing a card trick when she was transported to Estaria.

Hayden was just the average kid like me and you. Except his father was a businessman, working almost 24/7 with almost no sleep at all. And his mother was an artist, who spent most of her time thinking of ideas on what to paint for her next art exhibition which was in a year's time. So Hayden was sent to a public school, with no one to help him with his homework. As he grew up, he saw that his parents were occupied most of the time. He tried to make his parents happy by getting good grades, but every night the only thing he saw from his parents was a note saying they were at work. Oh, how frustrated he was. The next morning, a kind, but unpopular student became friends with him. She would stay by his side even when things looked bleak. And so Hayden forgot all about his parents. Soon, that friend was killed in a fight with guns. Hayden was heartbroken. From that time until now, Hayden has sworn that he would not let anyone be in danger of dying.. ever again. That is why he does not want to make friends. So no one will get hurt. He soon got into M.I.T studying for a masters in quantum physics. He was extremely stressed by the subject; adding to the fact that his friend died and he could have saved her. He sulked. His classmates gazed at him, wondering why he was so sad.
