The Spiritual Equivalent - The Host of the Other (GxB / WIP)
Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 8:43 am
My hands hold the future, yours hold my hope...
Whatever reality gives to us, whether hardships or glory, I'll be here for you...
There are two worlds.
One soul beneath each one.
The spirit dies, the other perish.
The physical one dies, one will remain untouched.
The physical one is called Corpus,
and the spiritual one is called Animus.
Each is tied to one another.
Without one of them knowing.
But then, the physical Equivalent has gone on a wide famine,
and they are desperate for survival.
Thus, to save it's own, it used it's own soul to save it's body.
Ransacked the Spiritual Equivalent to save it's own,
without them knowing of the Spiritual Equivalent's existence.
The Spiritual Equivalent is in danger.
Sick of a disease it's own body caused.
A black fog has engulfed it's sky, and thus,
life is almost hopeless in that Equivalent.
But, the residents of Animus have learned to live without life.
They have grown tired of war, and gave up on fighting for the Sun.
The residents of Corpus lived their lives,
not realizing the doom that awaited them.
"You can live without a body,
but you can't live without a soul."
Without Animus, the world of Corpus will face it's end.
The legends speak of a physical Host,
a Host from the Other world.
If the Host is sacrificed,
his blood drawing the symbol of the golden light,
all will be saved.
But, in Animus, no one believes in that legend anymore.
But a single girl isn't among them.
A daughter of a farmer, she was considered an outcast.
Her clan tried negotiating to the mortals from Corpus,
which was considered as treachery.
And she's willing to clear her clan's name,
and save both Equivalents.
Characters

(going on revamps)
Gracealis Concedero / Ricelia
Age: 16
A farmer's daughter, but her father broke the clan's chain of harvest casters and became an earth caster instead. She is a smart girl, but she is pretty hard to talk to because she had grown to people's insults. On Animus, she studies well and hard, but on Corpus, she doesn't even listen on discussions and she still passes. Tends to be emotionless and insensitive. But she's kind, only that it's pretty hard to make her to, because when somebody pisses her off, she starts this hobby of throwing craft knives around.
A bit of a trivia: She can sing, but she rarely does. She have preserved her voice though, and you are very lucky when you hear her sing.

Sharia Legayo / Circeses
Age: 16
Gracealis' friend, and a girl who doesn't know who she really is. She grew up in the orphanage, grew tired, escaped and a lawyer popped out of nowhere and treated her like his real daughter. She has some affinity with Animus, and thus she has some magical capability with spiritual boundaries of people. She is pretty clueless to things, and she blabbers and talks like a machine gun. It's pretty hard to make her happy or make her smile when she's in a stretch.
A bit of a trivia: There's some conflict between Sharia and Connor. What is it?

Connor Cabrera / Panexius
Age: 18
A teenager from Corpus two years older than Gracealis and Sharia. He is pretty strange, being so grade-conscious and even gets the time to goof off like a clown. He never talks about his family, his parents, much less what is even on their home. He draws, he loves playing and he likes ... all types of comedy. Well, anything fun is fun, for him, at the very least. He is very very hard to explain. You can't even tell if he's joking or not, because sometimes he cries out of nowhere and says that Gracealis made him to, which leads to her annoyance.
A bit of a trivia: He sings too, but his voice is pretty deep. And, he makes dance routines for weird songs like making a dance for "This is the way I brush my teeth, brush my teeth, brush my teeth... this is the way I comb my hair, comb my hair, comb my hair..."

Devin Ruiz / Krisaranas
Age: 15
A pretty clumsy boy from Corpus one year below Gracealis and Sharia, but in the same year as the two. Sharia likes pulling him around, in his collar, his shirt, even his hair. So when Sharia does that, Gracealis reveals her matchmaking side and teases the two. Devin is not at all smart, but he wants to be. He also likes drawing, but really sucks at it, and Sharia gives her tips. He is laid back and soft-spoken. Well, at least on the exterior. He says that nobody had seen his pure, 100% anger.
A bit of a trivia: He's a Vocaloid addict.

Jonathan Joseph Yuchengco / Xandarin
Age: 16
A guy from Corpus and/or from Animus. He came from both actually, so he's technically a half-spirit. He likes staring at people and intimidating them. He has a serious hobby of reading books. He doesn't study at the school, but he works as the English teacher's assistant usually and studies at Animus. He also works as one of Animus' patrol agents, which has the ability to go to Animus from Corpus without the use of mirrors. He doesn't like girls much, but for an unknown reason, he's really drawn more to Gracealis than the others. He likes appearing out of nowhere and creeping people out with his differently-colored eyes.
A bit of a trivia: He's older than the one he's assisting, actually.

Miguel Joseph Hao / Arwinmain Sairhaldis
NOTE : He needs to change his whole name or Gracealis will recognize him.
Age: 17
A sure guy from Animus. He works physically at a comedy bar, and he's pretty popular. But in reality, he is one of the sentries sent from Animus to capture Gracealis for her treason to the kingdom. He might be smaller than her twin brother, but he's a lot quicker. He has a cheerful attitude and disposition, and he really likes baking. He tends to be addicted to it. Miguel has a sad past though, which is obvious with the way he acts on things.
A bit of a trivia: His left elf ear has a tiny snip at the tip with a brown star-like birthmark, which kinda distinguishes him from his twin.

Alwyn Sairhaldis
NOTE: He doesn't need a name for use in Corpus, and his band name isn't his real name anyway.
Age: 17
Being Miguel's twin, also a guy from Animus. He is a vocalist of a band physically, but he is also side-by-side with his twin to capturing Gracealis. Like Jon, he has an obsession with books, and he has a large library with the stuff. He is slower than his twin, but strength is his advantage. He has a serious disposition with things. He merely doesn't care about anything, but if it's for his twin and his family, he'd be crazy to protect them. So you're lucky when you see him smile.
A bit of a trivia: He has yandere tendencies.
