SKILLS: THE IMMORTAL JOURNEY
Skills, this can be defined as a person’s talents or abilities, the things that they can do that separate them from normal people. This one word carries so much meaning for a lot of people and is what can set apart normal people from extraordinary people.
In this new earth, the world Skill means something else though. Skill is the word given to those that have been born with powers beyond measure, powers that can vary from something simple like being super strong, or amazing like controlling the elements of the world. Not everyone can have these powers though and as thus the people with them have been called Skill Users.
For 400 years Skill users were divided between three fields, Life Energy for those that could control the energy from the people and nature around them thanks to a special type of pores in their skin that allowed them to condense that energy into their bodies.
Magic, a special type of energy that only people born with a certain magic organ can control, this ability allows them to use spells of all kinds and the abilities that these field of Skills produces are the more fantastic of the bunch.
And lastly PSI, the ability to control the power of one’s mind, giving them psychic abilities beyond any measure, people with this Skill could accomplish great feats of the mind and could even heal people or teleport to the farthest edges of the world.
For 400 years after Earth’s resurrection, a story that by this point has long been told, these Skill Users were the minority and in turn they used their abilities to help the rest of the world in anyway they could. Bounty Hunters was the name given to those that helped make the world a better place.
Lots of great Bounty Hunters came and went as the ages past and no matter what threat struck the world was always at peace in the end.
But that all changed 20 years ago. With the rise of more Skill Users normal people began to feel threatened by their power and war broke out between Skill Users and normal humans. In order to fight against Skill Users humans perfected a fourth and fifth manmade Skill.
Cheats. Special technological weapons created to give humans a chance at fighting against Skill Users. The Triggers can be adapted into anything such as a watch or even a body part and when the owner commands it they will turn into a powerful weapon for them to use with different abilities.
But alas manmade weapons could only do so much against real living ones, so people strived to create their own Skill Users. Unfortunately; this had different results to what they expected. Instead of just receiving the ability the people that were experimented on mutated, they had received their own Skills but by using them they would end up transforming into something else. Whether an animal or another creature entirely, their body was now their weapon.
The war eventually came to an end two years later but the result ended up creating restrictions for Skill Users. Skill Users now had to follow rules such as not being able to use their powers in public or hurt others unless they had a license. This was all an attempt to stop another war and to create a more balanced peace.
Of course not everyone agreed and as thus many Skill Users have broken the rules that they were given so that they could live with the public, using their powers for evil things and crimes or sometimes….something not quite evil, but regardless the rule applies and you have to follow them.
You are one of these “criminals” and after being captured are now being sent to the biggest prison in the world Neo Tartaros, located in the middle of an island in the sea. Prisoners are kept here with special fields to keep them at bay and they are allowed to do as they want in the island, a world with no rules where only the strong survive.

Introduction
Well that was long wasn’t it, the story was there because…well I wanted to write it to be quite honest.
But anyways if you don’t feel like reading my wonderfully written story then I’ll write this summarized version of it, well basically I’ll just cut to the core of it.
You live in Earth 520 years into the future after being changed by a big accident that doesn’t matter here and was reconstructed into four continents, known simply as North, South, East and West continents. You are a Skill User, a person with a special power or weapon that has been captured by the Seekers for breaking the Laws of Equality, which basically prohibit Skill Users from using their powers or Cheats unless they have a license.
To pay for your crime you are now being sent to Neo Tartaros, an island prison located in the middle of the sea. Criminals are thrown into this island where there are no rules and yes they are allowed to use their powers. Essentially the island is set up so that criminals could end up killing each other and having their fill, they can’t escape thanks to a special barrier that keeps them locked in the island and if they try they will be executed by the Wardens.
Now I will explain the 5 Skills that Skill Users fall into.
Life Energy or Ki for short: People with this Skill are born with special pores that allow them to absorb the energy of the living things around them and use it to form their powers, these people rely more on physical abilities and powers and are known as Warriors.
Magic: People born with an organ that release magic energy are able to use different types of spells, some have a specific magical ability that they can fight with while others rely on different spells to fight, others can even use magic to heal wounds, or summon spirits. The people that can use this Skill are known as Mages.
PSI: The ability to tap into the mind’s powers and use psychic abilities of different kinds, these can go from something simple like telekinesis to something a bit more on the fantastical side like creating clones or teleporting anywhere. The people with this ability are known as Psychicers
Cheats: Cheats are technological weapons created by combining magical energy and technology. When not used Cheats can take the appearance of every day objects or even body parts and when activated they can turn into a weapon of their users choosing complete with an ability unique to them. The people that use Cheats to fight are simply known as Cheaters.
Mutants: People that descended from the original Mutants, people created during a war 20 years ago after experiments to give them skills went wrong and gave them ability to change their appearance instead. They can use special powers too but their appearance is altered with they do.
So basically you can pick one of these 5 Skill classes for your character to use in the island.
Magic: People born with an organ that release magic energy are able to use different types of spells, some have a specific magical ability that they can fight with while others rely on different spells to fight, others can even use magic to heal wounds, or summon spirits. The people that can use this Skill are known as Mages.

RULES
No godmodding, don’t give your character a power that makes them too powerful, remember that everything has their weakness and you should make sure to keep up with them.

Don’t argue with other users, if you want to fight them your character can always fight theirs if that helps though.

My Sign Ups
Name: Klay Spring
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Klay has short spiky and messy brown hair that he has combed so that it points all around. He has white skin along with a pair of crimson colored eyes. Klay has a slightly thin built with toned abs and arms and has a small slash shaped scar on his cheek.
He wears a black colored short sleeved jacket with a hood that he usually only wears when it rains. Underneath his jacket he wears a simple white shirt with a heart shaped pendant around his neck. Lastly he wears a pair of black pants and black and white sneakers.
Skill: Life Energy
Power: Klay has inherited the ability to use a special kind of energy known as Yellow Energy, an ability passed down in his family, however he can only use it to increase his overall abilities such as his strength and speed and such. This isn’t his main ability though. Klay’s real power allows him to copy other people’s skills by touching them and absorbing their energy. Unfortunately; this only applies once he’s actually able to touch them so he has to rely on his physical abilities until he’s able to do it.
Background: Klay was born in a small village away from civilization, because of this he was able to have a mostly quite childhood dreaming of one day traveling to the big city and accomplishing something. From a young age Klay had shown a great ability to control Life Energy, though his power proved to be a bit difficult to control due to its special condition.
Klay was named after his great grandfather, a member of an old group of Skill Users known as the Slayers, his great grandfather died in the war between normal humans and Skill users and his mother decided to name him in his honor. From a young age Klay had shown an interest in his lineage and their pasts, though his mother never revealed much aside from key facts; this was enough to leave an impression on him though, wishing to one day become powerful and renowned.
Unfortunately his parents died when he was a young age, the events of the accident that killed them is still hazy to him though as he seems to have lost his memory of that event. From that moment on he was raised and trained by his grandfather Kai who focused on trying to help him gain control of his ability.
He ended up leaving his home when he was 15 years old and started to travel on his own to the capital of the North Kingdom, Wayward City. The city wasn’t what he expected though as it was tough for him to adapt to its ways causing him to have to use his abilities in order to get food or money.
It didn’t take too long before he was put on the Seekers wanted list and he ended up running back to his hometown where he was captured by the Seekers, though not before his grandfather gave him a book that his mother had written and wanted him to keep.
Item: A book written by his mother detailing the story of previous generations of his family, their stories and other secrets.
Other: He hates fish and is afraid of bugs
Name: Gabrielle Jewel
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: She has long blond hair that falls down to her waist and usually covers her ears. Her eyes are emerald colored and she has pale white skin. Gabrielle has an hourglass figure and wears a long sleeved white cotton sweater along with a brown skirt that goes down to a little above her knees. She also wears a pair of long black socks and her cloak over her shoulders.
Skill: Cheat
Power: Gabrielle’s Cheat turns into a cloak when she’s not using it. When activated her cloak materializes multiple whips made out of energy that surround her. She can use this whips to cut through things and other people if necessary as well as using them for multiple purposes.
Background: Gabrielle was born in Wayward City, because of the war her father ended up dying shortly after she was born and as thus she had to grow up with her mom. Times were tough for Gabrielle as a child, her mom got married to a man that abused both her and Gabrielle and she had to grow up being a loner in school.
Ever since she was young she always had the feeling that she wanted more, that she deserved more from the world and that she was bigger than everyone else. One day she stole the Cheat that her father had used in the war from her mother and ended up using it as a way to see how it felt.
At first it was just practice, but with every time she used it in secrecy she began to master it more and began to wish for more yet again.
One day she had enough of her life and decided to take control by killing her step father with her Cheat. This of course turned her into a criminals and made her wanted by the Seekers. She was able to get money while working as an assassin and obtaining money for it and quickly made a name for herself as the “Air Killer”
She was even able to kill a couple of Seekers, which is how she got her ring, a beautiful ring that she couldn’t leave behind. That didn’t last long though, as the Seeker’s partner was able to get to her and catch her one day and as thus she ended up being sent to Neo Tartaros
Item: Gabrielle brought a silver ring that she stole from a Seeker that she killed, the ring in turn has a ruby attached to it.
Other: She has a love for classical music
