So this is Hueco Mundo, Tatsui thought as he looked around from his place with the group and in the dome. His first mission in this place, and it is clear that they should not spend any more time here than they have to. If the harsh air was an indicator but they should not rush things because the last thing he wants is to be ambushed by Hollows because they are rushing and made their presence known to the Hollows.
Still, Tatsui knows the virtue of being patient after years on the street, and if they want to remain undetected by the Hollows then silence and caution are to be respected.
The only thing Tatsui wished for right now was that he could have met with his teammates before the mission. He missed that chance and is now with strangers, but that can be remedied later, and he can see how they fight at least. However, he can feel Ishi telling him not to think about this and to focus on the mission and he knew she was right.
Now he thought about where to go, going upstairs and dealing with what was up there or going ahead and seeing what this dormant one was about. He thought for a time, the one upstairs seemed occupied while the dormant one is not, and he figured that going to the dormant one would be best since they could surprised it and deal with it now and not later. He does not want it showing up if they go upstairs.
So, in a hushed tone to the group, Tatsui spoke. "I say we go forward and deal with the dormant one."

Now, growing up, Andrés did not want much. Since most of it was provided by his family, while there were some things he liked, like drawing, and was encouraged by his grandmother. His father had started to"guide" him towards a path that he wanted. A change that Andrés did not like and would grow to hate as his father became more and more strict about it. Starting arguments over it.
By the time he was eighteen, his father had planned out most of his future, and finally, Andrés had enough. Now, he was tired of what his father wanted and wanted the freedom to follow his own future. Andrés had one final argument with his father and by the end of it, his father would cut him off from the family. A decision that Andrés did not care about and with what money he had. He chose to leave the Isles and move to the mainland. Specifically to Chetumal, where he lived with a friend while trying to find a job.
As Andrés started to adjust to living on the mainland and in a city. He started doing old hobbies, now he was free of his father. On the advice of his friend and the fact, he was having trouble finding a job. Andrés started drawing and writing comic books, and after some failed attempts to attract an audience. He managed to gain a following over his latest comic and it started to become popular. Finally, becoming less of a burden to his friend, and he was able to support himself.
Now, by the time he had reached twenty-five, was when he got a call from his mother. Apparently, his father was dying and on his deathbed. She insisted that he return and at least attend his father's funeral. Andrés thought long and hard about this, and in the end. He chose to listen to his mother and return home to the Isles. Though what he found he did not expect.
For a while, he never talked to his father, and his father would die shortly after Andrés arrived on the Isles. Through his mother, he learned about the family's fortune, that a good amount of it was wasted on a failed business venture. After the funeral and after the will reading which Andrés expectly got nothing. His older brother got what was left of the family's fortune and said that living on the Isles was a waste and he would take what was left of the family's wealth elsewhere. Promptly moving from the Isles to somewhere on the mainland.
What was left of Andrés's family was devastated by the turns of events, and now the once prominent family in the Isles was a shadow of its former self. Unable to support their current lifestyle, and most of their holdings had to be sold off. Andrés had to help his family through that ordeal. Now, the Morugas only own a normal house and a cafe that is owned by his mother.
Now, his mother wants him to help rebuild what their family had lost and not lose anything else. Andrés realizes that he has a choice to make. While he does love his mother and he has not issues with his younger sister. He had a life and was happy on the mainland, and helping the family with rebuilding means giving up that up. But staying means he could direct what was left of the family towards something better and fix what his father and older brother caused.
Currently, Andrés is still on the Isles and has yet to make a choice. Helping out his family while readjusting to island life and relearning what the Isles have to offer.

The grand Chi'in empire is both a vast and lush realm. Stretching from the northern steppes to the southern jungles. To the western deserts and the fertile east. A land that has stood the test of time and its people unwearying in their ability to thrive in this ancient land.
But it was not always a peaceful land. Early in its history, the land was divided into petty chiefdoms and kingdoms. Ever warring with each other for control of land and resources. For centuries, it was like this until the coming of a young king named Shui Xun. Known today as the legendary Divine Conqueror. For Shui would do the impossible and unite the land after years of war and diplomacy. Becoming the first emperor of the Chi'in Empire. Ushering in a period of peace for the first time in the land and bringing about a new age. This age started a thousand years ago, or 0 AU.
While much has happened since that day, emperors and empresses have come and gone. Various conflicts and internal strife. While there are lasting institutions within the empire. One of the more well-known and respected is the Azure Sentinels. An organization founded by splitting the Iron Guard order four hundred years ago, after the end of the Order of Spirit Wardens. The group's mission is to safeguard the land from internal threats. Both the mundane and the spiritual. Ranging from dealing with menacing bandits to hunting down an evil demon.
Which the Azure Sentinels are trained at one of four academies within the empire and anyone can join as long they are able to pass the entry test. Then, they are trained in the ways of the Azure Sentinels as protectors and protect the land from threats. Learning magic, martial skills, and knowledge needed to fulfill their duties.
Our tale will start at the Azure Sentinels Academy at Xianchun in the eastern province of Baotong. Where a new group of sentinel recruits have passed the entry test and now learn and train how to be an Azzune Sentinel. While unaware of the trials they will have to face. Both what the academy will throw at them and more.
Rules: 1. Expected to follow standard site rules 2. No godmodding or powergaming or etc... 3. No OP characters 4. A max of one character 5. Minimum of one paragraph
Overview
Hello and welcome to the rp. So in this rp, you will be playing as new recruits of the Azure Sentinels and are attending one of their academies located on Guizou mountain, overlooking the city of Xianchun in the eastern province of Zhenmen.
Since the Azure Sentinels allow anyone to join, whether peasant or noble, male or female, as long as they can pass the entry test. Which the entry test is a simple test that sees if the candidate has the potential to become an Azure Sentinel, both mentally and physically. But once a candidate passes the entry test, it is still possible to fail the academy and get kicked out.
But besides that, I am looking for a max of seven players
As for character backgrounds, I am going to let people add to the world, as it does not contradict what I have. Now, while the character should be a native of the Ch'in Empire. If anyone wished to play a character with foreign parents or foreign lineage
Azure Sentinels
The Azure Sentinels were formed four hundred years ago after the split of their initial organization, the Iron Guard. Which was formed by order of Empress Xinyi Xun after the end of the Spirit Wardens. As there was a need for an organization that would protect the land from threats, the Spirit Wardens, the group, would do this and sacrifice themselves to stop the coming very powerful demon known as the Black Death. A new organization was needed to replace them.
This led to the formation of the Iron Guard, and for two centuries it protected the empire from threats. However, the Iron Guard, after a period of overextension, it was clear that changes had to be made. It was decided that the Iron Guard would be split into two groups, one called the Azure Sentinels, which would defend the empire from internal threats, and the other called the White Lotus. A group to defend the empire from external threats.
For four hundred years, the Azure Sentinels have dealt with internal threats and have been stalwart in their duties. The last major threat to the empire was defeated ten years ago. The infamous Death Lotus Cult, a cult of necromancers who sought to become immortal and have their patron, the Dead Lord Zhihao, resurrected, and rule the world. They were stopped by the Azure Sentinels at great cost, and the cult would fail to resurrect Zhihao. The cult was destroyed, and the Sentinels are still recovering from their losses since that day. Still, the Sentinels are doing well and so far are thriving.
The Ch'in Empire
Yueshu The capital province lies near the center of the empire. Centered around the capital city of Yuesh, lies on a open field and near some mountains. While not the original capital of the Ch'in Empire, the city of Nanzou has that title. The Yueshu is the home of the current reigning dynasty, the Qiao, and is their ancestral seat. Yueshu, surprisingly, is only the second largest city in the empire, but is still the most developed thanks to great costs made by the Qiao family to further make their home city a city that deserved the title of being the capital of the Ch'in Empire. It boosts many buildings such as temples, schools, hospitals, monuments, and other places important for a major city. Plus, the royal palace where the current Ch'in Emperor Shuren Qiao resides.
Central Provinces Located at the center of the empire. The central provinces are considered the core of the empire, and is where a good chunk of the population and industry reside. It is also the oldest part of the empire, as the central province of Jiangdao is the home province of the Divine Conqueror Shui Xun. Although the capital of the empire is no longer at Jiangdao, it still holds sway over the rest of the central provinces. Now, rather than being ruled by an Imperial Grand Governor like the rest of the provinces. The central provinces are ruled by the ruling family themselves, and the unofficial capital of the central provinces is the city of Mudanrao.
Northern Provinces While not as lush as the rest of the empire, you head north into the steppe. The northern provinces are still an important part of the empire. As the region has significant resources and rivers that aid in agriculture and forestry, but mainly in mineral deposits such as copper, iron, and other valuable metals. A mostly flat and hilly landscape bearing some mountains and forests along the coast that gives way to a large steppe to the north and the Green Sea to the east, but has few ports on its coast. The northern provinces were invaded and occupied by the Yesugei Khanate thirty years ago during the first Yesugei-Ch'in war that would see the Yesugeians pushed back to the steppe and the Northern Provinces liberated. Though the land has recovered since then, some places still bear the scars of the conflict, and the Yesugei Khanate still being around. It is a conflict that the people have not forgotten, and the few Yesugei clans that fled south before the war and now reside in the empire. Face problems, but for now, are a loyal member of the empire. The capital of the northern provinces is Zhenhai and is run by the Imperial Grand Governor Luoyang Geng.
Southern Provinces The southern provinces are filled with mountains and jungles that border the Green Sea to the east and has several ports. The second center of agriculture and a source of other resources, like jade. While a lush place, the southern provinces were once considered a dangerous place in the empire centuries ago. Due to the number of hostile wildlife and bandit camps that existed in the region. But thanks to reforms and a strong Azure Sentinel campaign. The region is now safe, though there are still reports of bandits and monsters in the region. Still, the region has been fought over by the Lĩnh Nam Empire and Ch'in Empire over the centuries, and the southern provinces still remained a part of the Ch'in Empire to this day. Plus, the region contains an indigenous people called the Lac. A people who are prized for their blacksmithing skills and known for their distinctive tattoos. Though the Lac are related to the main people and culture in the Lĩnh Nam Empire, some seek to unite the two peoples. The Lac are currently happy under Ch'in rule. The capital of the southern provinces is Shirao, and is run by Imperial Grand Governor Anh Phan, who is a member of the Lac people.
Western Provinces The Western Provinces bordering the large Javvi Desert, and while there is trade and resources in the region. It is the least populated region of the empire due to its arid nature, the further west you go, and past the Karadao Mountains. Still, it is possible to make a life here, and things do stand out. Most trade is conducted on the frontier, where the Desert Nomads bring exotic goods and animals from the other side of the desert to trade with the empire. Which said trade is lucrative because of this, but other than that. The region is mostly quiet, but bandits can be a problem, or when groups venture out into the Javvi Desert to hunt and bring back sand worms to eat and sell. The capital of the Western Provinces is Karahar and is run by Imperial Grand Governor Guanting Fu.
Eastern Provinces Known popularly as the Fertile Lands. The Eastern Provinces contain some of the richest farmland and lush land in the empire. With extensive river systems flowing down from the west. As a result, a good chunk of the empire's population lies in the Eastern Provinces. Plus, the Eastern Provinces border the Green Sea where the provinces' rivers empty into. This gives way to fishing grounds and overseas trade. The capital of the Eastern Provinces is Tengqiu, and the Eastern Provinces are run by the Imperial Grand Governor Rong Han.
Magic
How magic works in this rp is that, people are able to harness an energy found in every living thing called chi. Everyone has chi, so anyone could choose to learn magic. It is just having the time and resources to do so, which limits who can learn magic. Thus, the average farmer or peasant would not be able to learn magic most of the time. But a noble or a well-privileged person could. Chi once spent will replenish naturally over time.
Here are the different types of magic a person can learn.
The most common type of magic, elemental magic, is where by using your chi. You can control the elements. The elements are Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Ice, and Lightning. Which to use, the elements by either manipulating what is already around or by creating it from your chi. Now you cannot create all elements like earth for example. Bur you can create elements like fire or lightning. So, an elemental user needs to be aware of their element and their environment. However, while there are six elements, it is only possible to learn one element max.
Healing magic is a noble choice to pick, as users are allowed to use their chi to heal others. Ranging from healing simple cuts to a broken arm. But it has its limits, and not every injury can be healed. Severed limbs cannot be reattached and healed, and healing magic only works on physical injuries. Illness and poisons are unaffected by healing magic. Healing magic cannot be used to revive the recently dead. Since healing magic can only be used on the living. Plus, wounds too severe can be too much for healing magic to heal.
An uncommon form of magic. Transformation magic allows a user to manipulate their chi to change their form and transform into a new form. Now, what a user can transform into is limited, and they can not change their form into another person. But, they can transform into forms that take the shape and powers of a spirit or demon. While this can be powerful, it takes more time to learn and to master. Plus, it drains a user's chi in order to maintain the form, and it is best used when at full chi. Transformation Magic users are able to learn several forms but can only use one at a time, and while it is possible to switch forms during a fight or in a quick succession. It is considered impractical due to the significant loss of chi to transform twice.
Technology

Dealing with exotic goods not found in the region. However, while most are willing to simply trade and let it be. There have been attempts by others to take over the kingdom and gain access to its lucrative trade routes. All have failed so far, and the last attempt was twenty years ago by apparently members of the former ruling clan of the Yamato Archipelago. The disgraced Iwaki clan and their failure to capture the Kenwa Kingdom have only strengthened their will to be independent and free of invaders. The ruler of the Kenwa Kingdom is King Liu Tamaki.
Located in the northern steppes that border the Ch'in empire. About thirty years ago, a man by the name of Bugidai managed to unite most of the nomadic tribes of the steppe, bearing a select few who were forced out of Yesugei lands since they refused to join Bugidai's force, and these tribes fled south into Ch'in lands. With his position secured, Bugidai was named Khan and, with his army of the Yesugei Khanate, tried to invade the Ch'in empire. The invasion was initially successful, and the northern provinces were occupied, but a daring victory by Ch'in general Zhi Yin managed to break the Yesugei's momentum, and slowly, they were pushed back to the steppe. Where civil war would break out after the death of Bugidai due to a mortal wound, and only after ten years did the civil war end, and a new khan arise from the chaos.

It is rumored that Gyerwon has invented a new powder with great potential, but has been denied officially by the kingdom's officials. The ruler of the Seong Kingdom is Queen Sulgi Hu.
Native to the Javvi Desert that lies to the west of the Ch'in Empire. These nomads live and thrive in the large Javvi Desert despite its dangers. From the heat or to the beasts that make themselves home in the desert. The nomads often come to the border settlements of the Ch'in for trade and often have exotic items from the lands on the other side of the Javvi Desert. Sometimes, even foreign merchants will accompany them and sell and buy from Ch'in traders. Though there are tales of an imperial theocracy that lies on the other side of the Javvi Desert that worships a strange religion but for now. It is just stories told by the nomads, and a person from this nation has yet to appear in Ch'in lands.

Efraim's life was a different one for a Hyperhuman growing up. The second son of a high school counselor and a doctor. Efraim's childhood was a good one and he grew close to his family. Not having problems and had a good number of friends.
Up until he turned thirteen, his hyperhuman nature became apparent. It was a surprise for him and his family, and while his family was supportive of him and accepting of him. They, mainly his father, are unable to relate to Efraim's new status as a Hyperhuman. He would try, and try as Efraim would grow and eventually attend the same high school that his father worked at. But to no avail, and while Efraim still loved his father, he just wished that someone in his family could understand the problems he faced in public as a Hyperhuman. Having a supportive family helped but, he still longed for some connection and was unsure of his future.
So his father, while also wishing he could understand his son, he reached out to the only people that could understand Efraim. H.E.L.P and arrange for Efraim to go to P.R.C.U. A choice that Efraim agreed to and now awaits what the P.R.C.U. has to offer and hopes he can have a future with them.

Efraim tends not to stand out that much with his black hair and brown eyes, when clothed. Being slightly average height and weight but having an above average build as he does work out from time to time. His bone exoskeleton, when naked, extends to most of his body and is visible but is barely seen on his head.
He wears his school uniform per regulations, but as soon as he is allowed to wear normal attire. He will and is not picky with what he wears. Generally, he likes to wear T-shirts, collared shirts, jeans and anything else that is considered casual clothing. Though he will wear warmer clothing given the climate of the island.
Efraim's bone exoskeleton does not hinder his ability to wear clothes, but, sometimes, it does become noticeable.
M A N N E R I S M S & P E R S O N A L I T Y M A N N E R I S M S & P E R S O N A L I T Y
Efraim can be described as a friendly and sociable person. Always willing to hang out with friends and family. Though at times, wanting to spend time alone with himself. Efraim is a loyal person who gains his trust and becomes his friend. Then he is there to help them no matter what but if this trust is broken then it can be hard to regain Efraim's trust.
Partially due to his father being a counselor and later his older brother becoming a police officer. Efraim is a brave person who, when something is going down, is not one to stay on the sidelines and do nothing. However, he is sometimes reckless about it, and he knows this and tries to think first before going into the fray. Still, this does not stop him from helping friends or those in danger. Plus, he will stand up for himself and others if needed. Even helping strangers if needed.
Along with wanting to truly connect with someone and understand him. Something that his family could not provide despite their best efforts. Still, Efraim loves his family, even if they frustrate him. He knows they are trying their best, even when it is not enough.

Efraim has the power of being able to manipulate bones. Specifically, the bone exoskeleton that appears on his skin. From it, he can harden the skin around the exposed bone. Giving him protection and making his melee attacks harder as a result. He was also able to create bone constructs by shaping bones from his exoskeleton and creating things such as swords, shields, and other objects. Along with being able to heal the bones on his exoskeleton.
L I M I T A T I O N S || PERSONAL BONES, DETACHMENT, SET SHAPE
Efraim can only manipulate his own bones from his exoskeleton. He was reluctant to try and manipulate other people's bones, but he had to see if he could, and he found he could not. So he has to rely on his own bones for attacks and defense. Also, once a bone detaches from his skeleton, he can no longer manipulate the bone. Even if he retouches it, it just becomes a static bone that he can not manipulate anymore. Also, once he shapes a bone into a shape, he can not reset it or change it further.
W E A K N E S S E S || OVERUSE, JUST BONE
While Efraim can grow and shape bones from his bone exoskeleton. He has a limit on how many bones he can grow, and he knows when it is close to his limit when it starts hurting to grow bones. A small pain when he nears his limit, but the more bones he grows, the more it hurts until he can not anymore due to the pain. Making him more likely to hurt himself and his skeleton due to the strain on his exoskeleton. While it can be strong, the bone he uses is just normal bone, so its durability and power are limited to the strength of natural bone.

Do not be nervous here and talk with your peers. We are all in the same boat here, and you can relax. No Hyperhuman haters here, and enjoy yourself while you are here. Talk with people, make friends, and develop your power while staying here. I have certainly grown well here, and you can too.

When I came here, I did not know what I wanted to be. Spend a good part figuring out my future and now I can say I know what I want to do with my life. I want to make a difference in the world and know why. Not much of me has changed since coming here. But, I do have a greater respect for my father who brought me here, even if he does not understand me. He knows how to help me after all.

There are some things I would like to change from my time here. But the one thing I would like to change is that I wished I could have done more during the stuff with Hyperion. I know I am just a student, and he is a terrorist. But I do not like to sit on the sidelines while stuff like that goes down. Especially the stuff that happened at the school because of him. That is the the top thing I would like to change since coming here and I hope that things quiet down now.
