Chapter 1: Apocryphals

Characters

All you need to know on the basics

Apocryphals = Human + Abilities

Apocryphals can have one ability. We'll even let two, if it's a really minor one that is essential to have the first power.
If they were ever once human, they are an apocryphal.

Note: Apocryphals can be immortal and they are sometimes referred to "gifteds".

Human
A person with no superpowers of any sort. No offense.
Humans have zero abilities.

Monsters
A monster is a creature that are not related to humans at all. Their magical level beyond an Apocryphal. Some may have an appearance of humans (personas).
Three types of monsters:

• Umbras are like magical beasts. They do not carry a human form, which distincts them from personas. Some can speak and think, while some cannot. Up to 3 abilities.
  
  
• Personas are monsters, as they were never human, but has a humanoid body. Up to 3 abilities.
  
  
• Guardians are the highest ranking monsters. They are entitled as the rulers of the magical world and they guard the Seven Wonders of Aerie. There are only seven of them and positions are limited!
  
  Up to 5 abilities.
  
  The Seven Wonders of Aerie and the Guardians

  Melswood Forest - Guardian of Curiosity

Personas

[/u]
"Personas are monsters, as they were never human, but still has a body of a humanoid. Throw in your favorite fantasy race or make one up!"

Elves
Pointy ears, looks like Link... you know elves!
Faes/Faeries
Do pixies go here too?
Centaurs
Trolls/giants/dwarves
Kumiho
When a fox becomes thousand years old, it gains nine tales. Filled with wisdom and tired grief, it can shape-shift (usually a maiden) and it devours a person's heart in order to survive.
Siren mermaid; able to be nice or cruel. Beautiful or hideous.
Angel Like a guardian angel. I think this one would be really sweet. And it could be of some light powers (luminescence or illusion, things like that), flying (like angel-angels), and also like who "wishes you good luck" and it protects you, like God's messenger. I really like this one too! I was kind of thinking of a devil... but I think we should only have the angel. The devil is just ugh. Indescribable. -shudders- But anyways, I LOVE THE ANGEL! xD
Kindred Spirit Kind of like a shapeshifter but who always shifts between animals only, so basically your natural animal spirit. Also this one's for the werewolves too. Since it's like... well. Animal!
Keeper of Time Old Name: "History Man" Yeah, I need a better name. But this guy is the wise man, also the 'history person'. It can also shapeshift between important people in history. And it's not all textbook history... it knows your memory, your past, your secrets. And the creature is like old, man; IT'S YOUR HISTORY TEACHER!

Umbras

"Umbras are like magical beasts. They do not carry a human form, which distincts them from personas. Some can speak and think, while some cannot."[/right]
Unicorn/Pegasus
Unicorns are beautiful horses with a horn smack in the middle of their head. They are very strong and powerful, mainly located in forests. Protectors of nature and anything pure. Pegasui are just like Unicorns, beautiful and strong, but... they have wings. They are an evolved form of unicorns and they too have a horn smack in the middle of their beautiful faces.
Griffins
A creature that is half eagle, half lion. The top half is eagle, with a beak, talons and wings. The lower part is the lion, with a tail and paws. A creature of the sky and earth, it mainly likes to live in the mountains, for they are part of the earth, but still in the sky.
Phoenix Of the Fire
Yeti Guardian of the Mountain & ice. Or abominable snowman
Rain Water Spirit; like a serpent-dragon, but it's like its body is made of water--each little droplets shining, as thousands of scales, to reflect its surrounding objects. Protects the Second Lake.
Monster Trash It's technically not a guardian, but made up of trash and the abandoned objects. It's gross and is feared, because it's made by our trash/mistakes. I was thinking if we could have like a huge ripped-off-scarred teddy bear as the monster or a "transformer" type of monster made of your basic trash (milk bottles, pop cans, boxes, people's C+ test.) But the scary thing is that it once used to be loved, and it has the memory of it, and it is still trying to be loved, in a very nasty, revengeful, hateful way.
Radiofish Radio + Fish = Radiofish
I kind of wanted to mix radioactiveness with a fish. Like Godzilla (except it's fishy), artificial monsters, glow-in the dark monsters . . . this is like made of radioactive chemicals and it is 100% man-made and artificial. Kind of. Say that it was a big mistake, the creator is a mad-scientist group, now forever crippled, and it's just DX. It glows in the dark, it's a LAND HO fish, monstrous, unseeing eyes (i think it'd be cool blind). OH! And it should totally live in the sewers of the city.
Nightwalker Shadow/night/darkness. Basically it's like "invisible", black and all... it's really really really cool though. Lives in the forest/city... preferably District 00... well everywhere in the night.
Forest Guardian Cool one! There's like a walking-tree from the Lord of the Rings or it could be the really cool one (looking like a deer) from Princess Mononoke
Dragons 'various types' more than 1. I love this one soooo much. Cause dragons are like >8) . . . Lol. There could be an ice, flying, electric, fire . . . anything can go here.
Bogeyman "Sir? I wasn't completely satisfied with your mattress. You see, it kind of scared my kid."
It's made up by scary nightmares, bed time stories, and basically your worst nightmare! Oh noes! It never shows its real identity, but it shapes up to be your worse nightmare and sometimes when you like hit it with a sword and 'hurts' him, the broken parts are just fragments of shadows or nothingness.
The Reverie Dreamer
It's not an actual guardian, since it's not an actual being. It doesn't have a soul or a body, but it has a mind--kind of. It has YOUR mind.
It's made up of your dreams and memories, since dreams are projected through your memories. This can make you vividly daydream (like it or not), going through hallucinations--which could be helpful (visions) or not helpful. It also makes you dream and in an awake trance, it is possible to see it. It kind of looks like a cloud of smoke, but through it, you can see images (carried dreams) and stars/space that seems like it continues forever and even hear the dream.
Sometimes this is not categorized as a monster, since it doesn't have an actual body or a mind of its own. (So it CAN'T be RPed) But it is a mysterious happening.
Sea Serpent
A deadly creature that lives in seas, rivers, lakes and oceans. It's a snake that lives in the water. A snake that is VERY big and poisonous, with sharp teeth and bright yellow eyes. Think of the second Harry Potter movie and that basilisk and you have a sea serpent. They vary in size and the largest are of course located in the sea.
