Characters
Zye
Name: Zye Rigel
Height: 6'1" (185cm)
Age: 29
Hair: Black
Eyes: Purple with blue tones

Zye is a textbook hothead with a soft center. The heart he wears on his sleeve is kept under the mask of sarcasm, sass, and bouts of frustration. He dislikes lying and has a bad habit of saying what's on his mind with littler filter. Otherwise, he's quiet and won't open up further.

Life as a Chroma is hard, but he's graced with kind and loyal friends in Callua, Shae, Jace, and even Xerxes. With Jace giving him a chance at love before the end comes, he's also given the choice of going beyond the boundary of life and death. At least, until that choice is ripped away from him.
Jace
Name: Jace Ryven
Height: 6'0" (183cm)
Age: 37 (in appearance)
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: Gray

Loyal to his friends as well as his duty, Jace is quiet and calculating. While he doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve like Zye, he cares about others a great deal. His calm disposition and critical thinking go hand-in-hand. While he might not be spontaneous, he seeks to do the right thing to the best of his ability.

Despite his station, he allows Callua to drag him back into the whimsy of life. Falling in love wasn't the plan. Regardless, he gives it his all and realizes he can't handle losing someone he cares about again. He'll do anything to keep Zye safe, even if it has to be from afar.
Callua
Name: Callua
Height: 5'5" (165cm)
Age: 24 (in appearance)
Hair: Teal/Green
Eyes: Orange

Callua excels in dealing with people and her job despite preferring not to do either and lazing about instead. Her mild manner stops her from overreacting but keeps her in her own head, finding it hard to choose the proper reactions.

Despite not being 'alive' anymore, she loves being around those who are. especially the friendships she's found recently with Zye, Shae, and Xerxes. They mean the world to her, even more than her duty. However, it does mean she still keeps them at a distance with Jace being the only one that she can truly confide in until Zye comes back to them.
Hax
Name: Hax
Height: 5’11” (180cm)
Age: Late 20s (in appearance)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Yellow

A mysterious man that keeps his motivations close to his chest. He trusts few and even those he does he doesn’t give his full self too all of the time. If at all. His arrogance drives him to push his gentler side down and focus on the one selfish goal he strives for. One that becomes twisted from something so pure to something that shakes those around him without meaning to.

At that end, he’ll do whatever it takes. There’s no time to look back and no chance to fix what has been broken. He’s crossed that line and will keep going no matter what. Disconnecting from those around him, he finds it all the easier to do just what he needs. Or so he thinks.

Xerxes
Name: Xerxes
Height: 5’5” (165cm)
Age: 25
Hair: Blue (with a streak of green)
Eyes: Blue

Xerxes is a young man with too much curiosity and too little confidence to satiate it. Despite this, he does have a selfless attitude even if he’d rather not talk with people he doesn’t know. It’s also why, while he is one who acts before thinking, at times, he doesn’t do so very often. He’s a man afraid of becoming like those that treat him wrong. The anxiety and unprompted fears, however, are held at bay by the friends he keeps around him.

Always trying to do his best, he’s eager for this second chance at life with Ilista as his Keeper. While he’s unsure about staying at times, Xerxes wants the chance to be with his friends again. His own selfish little wish.
Orion

Name: Orion
Height: 5’8” (173cm)
Age: N/A
Hair: Blue-ish White
Eyes: Green

A strong fighter with an even sturdier mental prowess, Orion is exactly what a Celestial should be when they’re seen out in the field. While he allows others to make mistakes and doesn’t hold it against them, he holds himself to a higher standard. Everything he does is to keep everyone safe and the balance kept as it should be.

However, this has kept him from getting close to others in the recent times. Orion is still determined no matter what others say about him. He always strives to do his best, even at the cost of pushing people away. A realization he’s trying to change and learn to trust others with his similar desire to protect.
Location
Solis + Noctis

Two realms that were once connected. Both contain countless rooms for Stars and Dark Stars to sleep and cleanse. As well as an area where they may mingle and a training area with many different biomes and equipment to master their abilities. 

Solis has only two levels. The main floor houses the mirror and the doors leading to the various rooms and areas. The second floor is reached via a circular staircase. It's there that the rooms for the Keepers are held. 

Noctis has three levels. The base floor houses all of the Keepers' rooms save for one. Celeste's room is accessed by ascending the staircase. Going down, however, leads to where the Stars mingle and live just as those in Solis do.

Earth

Following many tragedies to which the land changed due to rising sea levels as well as power shifts, the people have been stricken with new and unusual diseases. The land masses have changed and because of this, new cities have formed along these coasts in an effort to distance themselves from the past.

The people themselves are 'humans'. They're quite advanced now with vehicles running on various forms of renewable energy and high-tech devices that harness 'light'.

One such city is Civicus. 

Civicus is a major port city on the mid-eastern coastline. Because it borders this coast, its major income is imports and exports-- having been established far sooner than the others. Now that the coast has changed and the climate shifting, Civicus has a tinge of all seasons with a strong summer and winter. Even so, snow is typically a rare occurrence.

Miscellaneous
Chroma

A human on Earth that has a hereditary disease with no cure. This disease in particular is easy to spot as it turns the person’s eyes an abnormal eye color with an additional hue to them. The disease attacks the body’s organs and robs the person of their senses (never in any particular order).

Nether

Nether are souls that have failed to make it into the cycle due to the negativity that has gathered in them. They lose their reasoning and self. They will remain on their plane of existence amongst other humans/creatures and attack them, trying to spread this inner destruction. They seek the bright lights and energy to devour and drain from all.

Regardless of the type, they all have a similar appearance. Inky black shadows with blue crackling lines throughout their bodies. Blue eyes. Additionally, those higher ranked than Mist will take the form of the things related to the world they're found in.

Rank 4: Mist
Perhaps not the strongest, but they can be just as lethal as any of the others. This is usually the default form taken by Nether. If not taken seriously or if these can sneak up on their prey, they’re just as difficult to deal with as a Beast kind. They do have a solid core in the middle of the mist that can be hit.

Rank 3: Plant
Cunning and sneaky, these try to stay out of sight and will feed off of negative emotions. These usually don’t get into battle but when they’re encountered they can be extremely hard to deal with depending on what they’ve taken form as.

Rank 2: Beast
What these lack in brains make up for in raw power. They have quick reflexes and will stop at nothing, for they dismiss their pain in regard to battle. The longer the fight takes, the more berserk they will go.

Rank 1: Humanoid
These are the most dangerous as they have some form of consciousness. They’re far better fighters than any of the others and can control those lower than them. However, two Humanoids will most likely never be found together because of this.
Humanoids are glass cannons. Their main body is rather weak for the most part. However, from their body, they can form tendrils of negative energy. The locations they can appear from vary between them. These tendrils are fast and strong. Some Humanoids even use them to move the main body around or protect it.

Stars + Dark Stars

They are souls of a power who has died. They’re granted the power to keep the balance between positive and negative, good and evil, life and death. There are countless Stars that roam the cosmos in an effort to keep worlds safe from Nether.

Stars are what their respective sides call them. However, when together they’re to be distinguished by Stars (those that reside in Noctis) and Dark Stars (those that reside in Solis).

Both have aspects of their respective Infernal/Celestial. Also like their counterparts, they don’t need to eat, drink, etc...                                          

Stars


Stars gain their power, as well as recovery during missions, from the moon. A Star has the goal of hunting, luring, and cleansing Nether. As a Star, they each have a unique domain over a weapon that matches their soul.

They have the choice to don a human appearance or let their power be on display. If they choose to do so they gain the following changes;

  • Fangs
  • Small scales around their eyes
  • Scales on their palms
Dark Stars

Dark Stars gain their power, as well as recovery during missions, from the day. A Dark Star has the goal of visiting places that are bogged down with negative energy. Additionally, if a soul is trapped in a location they go to, they’ll try to free it. To a degree, their job is the hardest as they get closer to the souls/emotions that are left behind and they can attach to them should they not cleanse thoroughly.

They have the choice to don a human appearance or let their power be on display. If they choose to so they gain the following changes;
  • Small horn(s)
  • A slender tail with a fluff of hair at the end that tends to resemble a flame in shape.
Infernals

They are based off of Dragons. Particularly they are a ground-bound dragon counterpart, therefore they have no wings to fly. Naturally, Celestials have heard and encountered from a distance to observe what they’re modeled after. They live in the plane of existence called Solis.

Infernals do not have a pulse/heartbeat. Their core is similar to a mortal being’s heart. It allows their body to function. However, they don’t need to eat, breathe, or produce waste in that regard to maintain their form. Simply remaining cleansed and sleeping now and then is enough. Regardless, consuming food/drink is converted to energy.

These beings can draw in the power of the sun(s) on the worlds they visit. Typically, they are at their strongest during the day and slightly weakened in the night light.
    During a lunar eclipse on a world they’re on their power triples.

Signs of an Infernal:

  • Large horns
  • Dark sclera
  • Dark gray markings on the back and right arm


Signs of an Infernal at their Full Power:

  • Markings turn white
  • Horns become translucent and become a bit wispy at the ends. As well as glow (a color based on their power)
  • Claws (hands only)
  • Glowing eyes (this gives them dark vision)
Horn Colors:
  • Hax — Violet
  • Charmilla — Yellow
  • Kerse — Pink
  • Zye — Purple and blue
Celestials

They are based on Marids/Sirens/Mermaids and such. Naturally, Celestials have heard and encountered from a distance to observe what they’re modeled after. They live in the plane of existence called Noctis.

Celestials do not have a pulse/heartbeat. Their core is similar to a mortal being’s heart. It allows their body to function. However, they don’t need to eat, breathe, or produce waste in that regard to maintain their form. Simply remaining cleansed and sleeping now and then is enough. Regardless, consuming food/drink is converted to energy.

These beings have the capacity to draw in the power of the moon(s) on the worlds they visit. Typically, they are at their strongest at night and slightly weakened in the daylight.
    During a solar eclipse, on a world they’re on, their power triples.

Signs of a Celestial:

  • Extended canines/fangs
  • Black markings/tattoos down their back and left leg


Signs of a Celestial at their Full Power:
    The scales on their body can manifest in other areas to act as extra defense against attacks. However, the ability to do so requires a lot of energy and some time to adjust them.

  • Markings/tattoos turn blue
  • Teeth become sharp
  • Pupils turn to slits

Scales appear beneath their eyes

  • Orion — additional scales on his face/neck (white in color)
  • Celeste — additional scales on their legs (baby blue in color)


Marks

Marks are pieces of light energy made from the Keeper’s power. They take care of whatever they’re asked for as well as assist their Keeper. They are also used to allow others into their assigned rooms should they not be in there at the time.

These beings are pure white and of varying shapes and sizes. Typically they don’t have faces, simply a pair of eyes. Most believe they don’t have thoughts or personalities of their own. However, Marks take after aspects of their creators. Therefore, when given the chance, they can act on their own to some degree.
