It wasn't long until this war slipped into full-on savagery--a war over independence, territory, and power that raged on for years of brutal attacks and raging battles. They cut off contact with the rest of the world when it pleaded them to stop.
Centuries passed of on-and-off peace treaties and soon there wasn't a soul that remembered a time without the constant fear of attack.
Alongside continental war, both sides have issues with each state in what is borderline civil war.
The intensity of their weapons only increased and the strength of their military only advanced, to the point where even the citizens wouldn't go down without a fight.
The Novas were always known for being the naive ones--caring a little bit more for the safety of their citizens than for winning the fight. They've paid for this over and over and are secretly in poverty because of this. Their intellect and strategies keep them
The Lux, on the other hand, have incredible advances in weapons and brutality. It's been said that they do robotic implants and experiments on their citizens, but it may be just a myth.
Both sides have elected several teens, regardless of their histories, to attend what they told them was a huge "World Meeting". They chose more than one representative for each state, every single teen trained in some form of combat. The governments held individual blackmail against them to discipline and restrain them.
And with that, the killing game for peace was initiated.

Name: Evangeline (Evie) Morris
Show
hidden content
Gender: Female
Age: Incredibly close to 18
Appearance:
Sexuality: Bi, although she fights the idea of having a relationship because of past experience
Romantic Interest (Optional): None, for the time being
Loyalties: Lux. She's more loyal because of the blackmail than because of her birthrights and doesn't bear the mark/tattoo of her people for (mainly) that reason.
Alliances (Optional): She has a few allies. They're not quite close enough for her to feel guilty about killing them, though. She's not too hard to befriend, but most people tend to stay away from her.
(Basic) Personality: Evie quite popular for being a bit off her rocker. Her appearance is incredibly off-settling; she's not the innocent sweetheart that she looks to be.
She is sarcastic and incredibly stubborn, unfazed by everything and maybe even seemingly emotionless. Her opinions are rarely changed by another person.
While she is intelligent, Evie works the best alone and she silently prefers to keep it that way. Evie has the sharpest tongue around, and she's definitely not afraid to show it. She doesn't seem afraid of anything, really--if she does she doesn't show it.
Evie is strangely unaffected by death, torture, and murder--she's incredibly professional when in combat and seems to almost enjoy it.
Evie is a bit awkward when it really comes to it, but she covers it up with snark. She's a little bit soft in the inside but nobody's ever seen it. Evie is a secret romantic and is attracted to others a little bit too easily and she hates herself for it. She blushes a little bit easily.
History: All that she reveals about her past is that she was trained in professional fighting and that she excelled academically. There's something more to it but she won't budge. It clearly bothers her but she tries not to hint about it.I've
actually made this one but it's anonymous anyways
Blackmail (Optional): The only thing she reveals is that it's a person.
Weapon: She hides it quite well and is incredibly skilled with it. A lot of the time she won't even pull it out in a fight. Her fighting style is incredibly stealth and agility-based, but she's halfway decent in terms of physical strength. She also brought a pistol or two with her to the council meeting.
Additional Information: She stands at around 5"2 and has an incredibly sweet voice that isn't anywhere close to her personality. She keeps a notebook with her at all times but nobody knows what it's for.

Name: Elliot (Elli) Blackford

hidden content
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance:
Sexuality: Straight
Romantic Interest (Optional): He's open to the idea of romance provided he gets to know the person well and sees them as a possible romantic interest. He tends to see most people as friends rather than love interests though.
Loyalties: Nova. He has a Novan tattoo on his left shoulder blade because of the military.
Alliances (Optional): Elliot is an incredibly friendly person and has befriended several people but none of them are in the city.
(Basic) Personality: Elliot is friendly and outgoing. He's an incredibly bashful and is embarrassed easily and is sweet and innocent before anything else. Elliot is incredibly trusting to those around him (even strangers) and is naive. He doesn't tend to make the most logical decisions when trusting people and is incredibly optimistic in that he believes there is hope for everyone. He laughs easily and is a bit passive, but is not necessarily useless in a fight. Elliot is incredibly optimistic and creative.
Elliot is probably more kind to other people than he is to himself but he doesn't like to worry other people so he keeps it mostly to himself. He's very protective of those he holds dear and is honest to the point where it's almost brutal. He is a positive person at heart and if he meets someone who hides their "true self" he'll probably try his best to uncover it.
He sees the good in people no matter what and will try to help them at all costs. He hates people being "fake" more than anything. He's incredibly brave.
History: Elliot's father was a servant of war. His mother held him very dear and taught him as much as possible until she was murdered. Elliot went out on his own and he's hinted that terrible things had happened in between that point and the time that he gave himself up to the military as a representative.
Blackmail (Optional): He hasn't mentioned it.
Weapon: A sword that the government gave him. He was told that it was his father's. Elliot also has brass knuckles that seem to be built into his hand. He's better at fighting than he seems.
Additional Information: He has a bit of a sweet tooth and has a space in his satchel dedicated to candy. He's 5"9 in height.

Name: Orion

Gender: Male
Age: He lied so his documents say he's 17, but he's about 23.
Appearance:
He has several stretch marks across his spine and scars over his body, as well as the Nova tattoo on his left shoulder blade and a wing-like tattoo stretching across his upper torso.
Height: 6"6
Sexuality: Bi,
Romantic Interest (Optional): None
Loyalties: He was born a Lux but his loyalties lie with the Nova. He hates the Lux with a passion.
Alliances (Optional): He knew Evie pretty well and treats her like a little sister.
(Basic) Personality: Orion is a complete trickster. He's quite intelligent and far too curious for his own good, oftentimes getting himself into bad situations and learning information he probably shouldn't. He's incredibly stealthy, despite his height, and is able to deceive easily. It seems that Orion is able to get his hands on any information he wants to, but all of his actions are instinctual and based on his interest.
He is suave and laid-back and his past is a complete mystery--his files are minimal, and most of the information is a lie anyway (he doesn't even have a recorded last name). Orion is pretty cocky and sarcastic, oftentimes being a bit of a flirt but never crossing any boundaries. He can read people incredibly well and is terribly honest. Despite his sketchiness, Orion is quite social and trustworthy.
He's humorous and never seems to be afraid, although his temper isn't the most well-kept. He's quite adaptable and talks a bit too much. He can either be a bit too childish or a bit too dark and mature. Orion is actually quite passive in that he doesn't feel the need to defend himself unless absolutely necessary, but he will stand his ground on opinions (his sense of judgement is good, anyway). Orion can actually be quite cruel and can kill without mercy, although he has strong reasoning behind this.
History: Nobody actually knows and what's in his files are complete lies, set by him on purpose. He doesn't want to remember but it seems as if it haunts him anyway. He knows too much about both the Nova and the Lux inner circles and is rumored to have sold off information to the Nova.
Blackmail (Optional): They threatened to imprison him for treason.
Weapon: The gun in his appearance picture, as well as a these. His combat skills are incredibly enhanced--he seems to be unchallenged by the sudden change in lifestyle and is able to live in the wild easily.
Additional Information: He has a defect Lux experiment named Koji, who he seemed to have stolen from a laboratory. Koji is a moth-cat mix and has an abundance of health problems and several defects. Even to the scientists he is a mistake and a hazard, but Orion loves him anyway.

It was well-made and circular, having a large area for the representatives to speak. The podiums were empty; after about an hour of debate, they had decided to take a break.
He stuffed his water bottle into his satchel and approached a white-haired Nova female, smiling a bit. "Hi," he said, sticking out his hand in greeting. "I'm Elliot--er, Elli."
-----------
Evie leaned against the wall, looking at her nails and occasionally pushing her glasses up her face. They were empty actions of boredom, but anything was better than talking to her fellow Lux representatives. It was all a bit too sophisticated in a manner that made her want to jump off a cliff--she knew well that half of her Lux allies would happily decapitate all of the Novas right then and there. Everyone around her was so strictly against even the idea of a Nova that it made her sick. The war was a stupid account that they had brought upon themselves, nothing more than a mess so cluttered that they could no longer fix it.
She silently wished that the clock would pick up pace.
Posted: Fri, 07/07/2017 01:42 (6 Years ago)
she looked at his hand and blinked, then hesitated before she reached up and shook his hand, her grip barely there before she pulled her hand away.
''I-Ivy... Ivy Flintlock..'' Ivy mumbled, blushing faintly.
~~~~~
Oliver walked over to where Evie was and grinned, putting his hand against the wall by her head as he stood in front of her.
''what's a beautiful lass like you doing all by yourself...? you should be over with the rest of us listening to what the older folk are talking about'' he said.

--------
Admittedly, the first thing Evie noticed about this stranger was his face. It certainly wasn't bad-looking and Evie could safely assume that he wasn't unpopular among the other girls. The second thing she noticed was his accent: it was smooth and slightly Irish. He had a nice voice, Evie thought, if not for his words. She had seen him coming but did nothing to stop the hand next to her head.
"I'm probably older than you, you hypocritical perv," she snapped, her amber eyes narrowing coldly. She just maybe would have said nothing to him, if not for his comment on her youthful appearance.
Posted: Fri, 07/07/2017 02:44 (6 Years ago)
Ivy wasn't that social away from the shop she helped out in, and she had mostly been a wall flower, but when it came to meets or something like that she listened to what the other's had to say, even if she didn't look like it when she was sketching out designs.
~~~~~
he jumped a bit at her raising her voice and blinked, the grin he had wavering slightly.
''come on, what's with that harsh attitude...? i didn't do anythin' bad, i just simply can over to talk to ya, so relax lass... my name's Oliver Grimm, what's your name..?'' Oliver asked, tilting his head slightly.
Posted: Fri, 07/07/2017 04:23 (6 Years ago)
"We've received a letter from both the Nova and the Lux capitals," the Lux representative said into the microphone. He spoke a bit too close to it and Evie cringed.
"They've informed us that this council meeting was... to put it simply, a sham," he said, his lips tight. The pain was splayed across his face.
"They have said, to quote, that we are 'the final step in ending the war' and that we are the 'bringers of peace' and will be known as legends. They have created a... system for us to follow strictly."
The Nova took the paper and stepped to the microphone. Her eyes skimmed the paper and she seemed to be simplifying the contents of the letter. "They have carefully selected an abundance of teens who are skilled in any form of fighting to join this... program, as they've decided to call it. There is a small handful of teens selected from each state, both Nova and Lux, that will be forced to fight as representatives for their state in order to settle the war. This will settle both the amount of land given to their home state and the winner between the Lux and the Nova."
A rumble of speech and rebuttal waved through the crowd and the Nova representative tapped the microphone to draw order.
"The note that was given to you at the beginning of the council meeting contains information that they have deemed important to you specifically. They ask that everyone open their notes in this moment and they hope that its contents will encourage you to do your best for your hometown."
The Lux and the Nova stepped away from the pedestal to open their own envelopes and Evie sighed before digging in her backpack to do the same. She rotated away from Oliver--but didn't step too far away from him--and pulled out the crumpled paper, reading it incredibly quickly and balling it up in her fist. She dumped the crumpled envelope and the balled-up paper into her backpack, still holding the same monotonous expression as before.
Posted: Fri, 07/07/2017 04:44 (6 Years ago)
''very nice to meet you Evie'' he said, giving a small wave before he went a little ways off to read his note, which he had stuffed away in his suit since he wore formal wear to the council meeting.
he opened the envelope and started skimming through it, the expression shifting from the calm and collected look to one that seemed to fill with fear.
~~~~~
Ivy perked up when she heard the representative's spoke and started to rummage through her satchel for her letter that she was given.
''i wonder why we were given letter's anyway...'' she mumbled, mostly to herself.
Posted: Fri, 07/07/2017 05:17 (6 Years ago)
He looked back over to the main podium, where the Nova had disappeared into the crowd to sob and the Lux very shakily walked back up alone. He took a deep breath before stepping up to the microphone and seemingly swallowed all his emotions. Elli felt a pang of respect for the Lux in that moment, forgetting the rivalry that was supposed to be there.
"The rest of the letter explains the system and its rules. I please ask that there is complete silence until the end of the explanation," he said, and most of the crowd obliged.
The Lux cleared his throat before shifting the paper in front of him and continuing. He was reluctant to do so.
"To put it very, very, simply we have been requested to fight against each other in order to, once again, settle the war. We've already discussed the reasons and cause behind this, so I won't review it again. We are to fight to the death regardless of our loyalties, hometowns, or birthrights. The order of the deaths will determine the hometown's fate and the last Lux or Nova standing will determine which one of us gets overall dominance.
"The city is restricted and it is physically impossible to escape but I doubt anyone would try with the information that they now hold.
"The forest is open but not in its entirety. They have removed all doors, locks, and curtains prior to the council meeting.
"They have said that there is a more likely chance to succeed if you are allied and that it will be held against you in no way if you ally yourself with someone of a different side than you. You may ally with whoever you please. If you happen to reach the final standings of the game you will be requested to kill any who are not on the opposite side of you.
"By the time this letter is read, it is currently six A.M. You will have until tomorrow's sunrise to make alliances and stabilize your situation until any killing is permitted."
He pursed his lips. "The Nova and the Lux wish you the best of luck," he said, finishing the letter and stepping off of the podium.
The large doors around the council room opened, letting the light spill in. A majority of the crowd spilled out, running off to find a shelter of some sort before it was too late. Elli's heart raced as he let the weight of the situation sink in. The only thought in his mind was survival. I'm too scared to do this, he thought frantically, looking around him. He walked up to Ivy, took a deep breath, and looked at her with pleading eyes. "Hey," he said, "I know that we don't know each other too well but I really don't want to be alone in... whatever this is. I really hope that you're trustworthy and I'm going to take my chances... Do you want to, uh..." He trailed off a little bit but still awaited an answer.

she looked away and rubbed her eye's, stuffing the note back into her bag before she sat the bag aside and grabbed her coat, which had been hiding the weapon her sniper rifle, which was perfectly hidden under the coat since she had gotten there early and slipped her coat on, then the bag over one shoulder, then slung the rifle over her other shoulder and made sure the strap that she put over her head was tight enough.
''wanna live....? follow the girl with the sniper'' she said simply, then made her way for the exit, but wasn't rushing out since she did want him to tag along.
~~~~~
Oliver soon hid the letter away then quickly went to where he put his stuff and collected it up one being the weapon he was given and told it was to be returned to him, then went back over to Evie, but managing to catch sight of Ivy and her sniper rifle.
''wanna ally and tag along with her..? we'd both have better chances if we stuck with her..'' he muttered, only loud enough for Evie to hear.

Evie was about to say something along the lines of 'I'd never work with you' until the contents of the letter flashed inside her head. The blackmail was efficient, that's for sure, and Evie silently wondered how the government had come across that information. If they knew that, they must know her whole story... and the thought of that made her tremble.
She watched the red-headed boy pull out his wicked blade and sighed, stretching her neck a bit. "Yeah," Evie said reluctantly, not looking at Oliver as she jogged over to the two Novas.
"The name's Evie," she said, turning her head only to look at the redhead. He smiled brightly at her, a hopeful beam that took Evie by surprise. Most of the teens at the meeting hardly smiled, much less with such innocence and hope. "Elli," he replied, shifting the blade on his shoulder.

''and i'm Oliver, but if you want you can just call me Oli, that's quite a wicked looking weapon you got there'' he said, pointing at the sword Elli was carrying.
Ivy simply glanced over her shoulder at them and grabbed Elli's wrist, dragging him along a bit as she quickened her pace.
''they're lux, not nova...'' she muttered, only loud enough for him to hear.

''i-i know that.... but they could easily betray us.. you i trust cause you don't seem to have a mean bone in your body... your trustworthy, they are not... they are from the lux side, they're cruel.. but they can come if they want......'' she mumbled, lightly gripping the strap that was attached to her rifle.
Oliver blinked as he watched Ivy pull him away and tilted his head.
''well that wasn't a very kind greeting from her...'' he muttered, pouting slightly.

Evie perked up and jogged over a bit, not even waiting for Oliver. I don't think they know each other too well, Elli thought, looking between the two. "We could head to the forests?" He suggested, looking over at Ivy.

Oliver caught up with them and slung his backpack over his shoulder, letting the twelve gauge shotgun he had rest on his shoulder.
''hm.... you know, your pretty cute, for a nova that is Elli~'' he hummed, walking along beside Elli as he looked down at him, since he was just a little bit shorter then he was.

Elli, on the other hand, had an incredibly honest face--so much so that it was impossible to fake. Elli was that kind of person she could trust with her life. He reminded her very vaguely of someone she knew long ago. Ivy... was a bit too quiet to tell. Ivy didn't trust Evie but it was a pretty good sign that Ivy was trustworthy. Unless Ivy tried to kill them out of fear.

''my, my! your eye's are stunning lass, and your hair make's them pop splendidly'' he said, smiling brightly as he put his hand under her chin.
Ivy trembled slightly and her face erupted a bright red, her eye's wide as she looked at him.
she quickly pulled something out of her satchel and poked the end of his nose with it, causing him to freeze and glance down at her hand, which held a rather sharp looking steel dagger that she had been given at the start..
''eh heh.. seem's i struck a nerve, possibly about personal space with a shy girl...'' he muttered, gulping as he pulled his hand away.
