The Crystal of Fire This Crystal holds the power of fire, seeding destruction and chaos. It represents the very idea of chaos, untamed and rebellious, with a passion and spirit like none ever seen. It cannot be withheld, it yearns to be let free, but with practice it can be controlled. It is the most destructive and dangerous of magic, but it can be used for good as well. It often grants the user abilities of pyrokinesis or withstanding fires and temperatures so high they would normally kill the usual creature. The Crystal is a deep, fiery red with a red-orange hue, it's the largest Crystal, and it's warm to the touch.

The Crystal of Water Often described as the opposite of the Crystal of Fire, this Crystal has a calm feeling to it, like the waves in an ocean. It has a sense of patience and understanding that does not come with the chaos of Fire, and it is much more reserved yet still incredibly powerful. It is the one counter to fire, and yet it still holds much power. If left unchecked, it can be just as destructive, and it takes a massive amount of control to keep it together. However, it was built to be utilized and controlled, and it is much easier to gain control over its power, even if it does prove a bit of a challenge. The Crystal of Water often grants the user the ability to manipulate/summon water, cause it to rain or storm, or even to create ice or hail. Rarely ever more than one ability is gifted, however. This Crystal is a deep, ocean blue, with swirls of darker and lighter shades and bubbles held still in its depths. It is the one medium size of all the Crystals, and it is often cool to the touch.

The Crystal of Life This Crystal is the most peaceful of them all, a peaceful and prosperous aura always surrounding it. Life and joy follows wherever it goes, and its magic is the most revered among the creatures. It gifts life, hope, and peace, and it is the magic most harmed by the oncoming war. It wishes not for violence, but for everything to go back to the way it once was. Its magic is rarely ever used to attack or bring harm to others, and instead is used to heal and grow crops or plants. Its magic often grants the user the ability to use life energy to heal their comrades, the ability to manipulate plant life (control how they grow/behave), and even the ability to communicate with plants and forests. This Crystal's coloration is light green with a dash of brown, with dozens of miniature flowers and plants blossoming within it. It is smaller in size, and its temperature is always a hint warmer than the temperature around it.

The Crystal of Mineral The Crystal of Mineral represents the earth, the dirt, and all the ores and minerals underneath it. It is the symbol of stubbornness, righteousness, and loyalty. This Crystal has the oldest magic of the land, and it is very often underestimated because not many creatures use it anymore. It is not one for picking a side, often remaining neutral, but it does understand what is right and will stand up for itself if it must. Its magic includes being able to create/control tunnels out of earth, being able to summon/manipulate minerals and riches from underneath the earth, and having the ability to create sinkholes or quicksand out of solid dirt. It is a dark brown color, getting darker towards the bottom of the Crystal, with specks of color representing the ores of the earth hidden beneath the surface. It is constantly room temperature, and it is only a bit smaller than the Crystal of Fire.

The Crystal of Sky This Crystal represents freedom and breaking free from bonds or chains, never fully contained or constrained to one place or time. It does form bonds, it is not quite as chaotic as Fire, but it dislikes following rules and it does not choose many to hold it. It has a tendency to disappear, and its magic doesn't always follow through. It can be quite chaotic, but it does follow some sort of code, and it can be very powerful when required. This Crystal often gifts its holder the ability to control/summon the winds to fly, or to use the wind to create sharp, ice-like daggers. Creatures born with this magic are often born with wings. If you want your character to have wings once they find this Crystal, you may, but that must act as their magical ability. This Crystal is only slightly smaller than the Crystal of Water, its coloration being a clear blue sky with a few clouds, changing in color gradually, and lined with silver streaks. It is often ice cold to touch.

The Crystal of Thunder This Crystal represents rebellion and tricks, and it is most definitely one for practical jokes. Its magic is the most unpredictable and unruly of them all, and it seems to find it enjoyable to cause just a bit of inconvenience. It has a knack for joking around and causing power outages every once and a while, but it can be relied on when necessary. Most dislike this magic, the only ones who choose to use it being almost matches to the Crystal itself- excitable, unpredictable, and jokesters. It most often grants the user the ability to control/summon lightning or electricity, being able to control the weather to an extent and summoning thunderstorms and such, or combining the two and summoning a bolt of lightning. Its coloration is an electric yellow with storm clouds rolling across its surface often, changing color along with the weather. Occasionally, the pattern will change suddenly, and within a few minutes the weather will change to that as well. Those with strong control over their magic can harness this ability as well. It is moderately sized, and whenever held there is a large chance to receive a static shock.

The Crystal of Psychic The most mysterious of Crystals, this is the magic most creatures know the least about. It is feared for that reason, and those who can harness its magic are distrusted and feared as well. It is shrouded in mystery, the only things known about it and its magic very little and only adding to its slight creepiness. Its magic includes telepathy, telekinesis, and mind reading, and on the rare occasion, creating illusions/delusions. It is an eerie pink color, with constantly moving black spirals in the middle swirling hypnotically. The smallest of the Crystals, but most certainly not the least powerful, touching it induces a small feeling of dizziness for a few moments.

The Crystal of Ghost This Crystal represents the connection between the living and the dead, and everything in-between. It holds a special connection to the spiritual world, and most creatures don't trust it. It is the most misunderstood magic, and those who use it are deemed untrustworthy or dangerous. It has a creepy aura to it, and its dark magic is feared yet somewhat respected among the creatures of society. This magic includes being able to summon and commune with the dead, dark magic (such as using incantations and spells to cast blasts of Phire (like Fire but dark and purple) or to curse people. It also allows for resurrection magic, the most dangerous of all magics. It allows the user to return a living thing from the dead, to revive it, but it takes a deadly amount of precision and power, and if it fails the consequences are disastrous. It has never worked so far.), and the ability to shadow-travel. Its coloration is a deep purple-black, with swirls of dark gray and white splashes that occasionally move around to form skulls. Depending on the magic being used, this Crystal varies in size. Despite being warm to the touch, this Crystal sends chills down one's back when held.

The Crystal of Normality This Crystal represents finding common ground and being able to resolve conflicts through peaceful means, and while it does not like violence, it will indeed step in when and where it is needed. It has a unique ability, and its magic is quite rare to find, most of the races of creatures who ones used it all but extinct by now. Only younger than the Crystal of Mineral, this magic is not common to stumble upon, but it is truly a sight to see. It grants the user the ability to speak with beasts, and even control them to some extent. Those who are gifted with this magic can summon beasts to their side, beasts that were blessed with all kinds of magic, even if the user cannot use such magic themself. Often mistaken for neutrality, this Crystal can use its voice to reason, and when that doesn't work, it can summon an army (to an extent- there is a limit, but still). Now, what is the difference between creatures and beasts? Their sentience. Beasts are much like animals- they cannot speak any of the languages created by the creatures of this land, and they can only understand so much of society and culture. The Crystal of Normality holds sway over all of the beasts of the land, big or small, and all beasts respect and revere it as such. Its coloration is a bland sandy color with almost no variation, and it is barely smaller than the Crystal of Mineral.


Now, those are all of the different types of magic and their Crystals, but there is one more thing you must know about; Neutrality. This refers to creatures, or even beasts, who were born with no magic ability. Most often, it is a race that was not gifted with it when they came into existence, such as humans. On rare occasion, however, some magical creatures/beasts will be born with no magic ability. The only way to change this is to find a Crystal, although most never do. If a creature that comes from a race usually blessed with magic is born Neutral, they are usually not accepted and cannot do things most other creatures can. I will accept a few Neutrals, but no more than 3.

- All PH rules apply.
- All usual RP rules apply here as well. (No power-playing, no bunnying, no derailing, no Mary Sues, etc.)
- YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE OR TWO MAGICAL ABILITIES. If your character has a powerful ability, they can only have that one, but if it is less powerful, they may have two. Two is the max. This is to prevent overpowered characters.
- As of right now, only one Crystal is allowed per character, and the amount of characters max. per person is one. I'd like to give as many people as I can the chance to join, so for now, only one character per RPer. Also, to prevent overlap, if another character has already chosen a Crystal, you must choose a different one. You cannot have the same Crystal as another character- there is only one of each.
- Hate the character, not the roleplayer, and understand that this is all just an RP. If you cannot play nice, I will have to kick you.
- Password is your character's favorite flavor of food (sweet, salty, spicy, etc.)
- If you do not read these rules before you make your form, or if you break them in your form, I reserve the right to decline your form. If you break any of these rules during the RP, I will give you one warning. Do it again, and you're out.
- Your character must be a creature. It does not matter what kind of creature, but it cannot be a beast. They can have a beast pet (nothing too OP), but you cannot play as a beast. The creature must be at least somewhat humanoid.
- This RP is Semi-Lit, please at least one or two paragraphs per post (4-5 sentences each, at least), and do your best to use good grammar. I understand that English is difficult, but try your absolute best. If I do not see evidence that you can follow this rule in your form, I may ask you to edit it to show me you can, or I will have to decline your form.
- You are free to alter the original sign-up form as you'd like, it is simply an outline if you're unsure of how to make your own. It is perfectly fine to use the original outline as well. You must include all pieces of information from the original form in whichever format you decide to use to introduce your character. If it is listed as optional, you do not have to include it. Please delete any and all parenthesis from your form before you submit it to help make it appear cleaner and easier to follow.
- Do not take advantage of any rules I may have forgotten to mention. I will update this if there are any more rules I feel I should add. Please feel free to give me suggestions if you have any ideas you think could help improve this RP.

Username: Skye_in_daSky

Character's name: Faun

Age: About 612 (young for their species)

Pronouns: It/they

What kind of creature are they? An Aura Guardian (a type of creature that, at a certain age [800-1,000 yrs], is assigned another creature, usually one with little to no magic, to protect. They guard that creature's magic "aura" [all creatures have one] until it can form into some type of magic, or stronger magic if they already had some. Most often it does not work, and they simply protect their creature for the rest of their creature's life, but on the rare occasion that it does, that creature becomes one of the strongest magic users in the land. There has been no account of an Aura Guardian allowing a creature of Neutrality to gain magical abilities, and most Aura Guardians are unknown to all creatures except their own. Aura Guardians are creatures born Neutral, with a special gift of insight that allows them to see and protect a creature's magic aura.)

Appearance:


It carries a leather journal colored pale violet hung across its side like a satchel by a thin black leather strap. This journal has everything they've ever experienced inside of it, and it is their most cherished possession.
Their Crystal is worn strung on their left horn by a thread.

Personality: Observant and with a much quieter demeanor, much like the rest of their species, Faun prefers to keep to itself, preferring not to speak but using other methods of communications instead, such as morse code. It has quite the keen eye and can pick up on other creatures' emotions, with quite an intuitive mind and a knack for solving puzzles. They are quite smart, and while they're not exactly shy, they are most certainly not the most outgoing creature. It loves to spend its time around the beasts of their native woods, and it has made many friends this way, but it is not the most accepted creature among their species or even much beyond. Since it is young, it is not a full Guardian yet, and it is not trusted with a creature to protect. Because of this, they have a lot more time to themself, and they enjoy spending this time with music or speaking in a peculiar tongue to the beasts around them.

Backstory: [TBRPd]

---

Crystal: the Crystal of Water

Magical Ability: Summoning blades of ice out of freezing water to attack/defend.

Other/Extra: There is a beast that began following Faun around, and now it keeps it as a travel companion. They can summon the beast, who they named Shiver, whenever they like, but it is the only beast that ever listens to them.

PalPad? Yuppers :)

Password: Faun cannot eat... so... I guess it likes the smell of sweet foods.
