Man has always asked to fly, the power to soar into the heavens. But now they only want to return to the world they once inhabited.
No one knows exactly how the great crater was formed. How at least one third of earth’s total mass was decimated right down to the center just narrowly avoiding cracking the shell around the molten core open like a big egg. No one knows how the earth died……
But they know that now, they are what remains of that planet. The chunks of the former planet flew into space creating a form of asteroid belt around the planet. But more important than that, these chunks of earth seemed to settle around the planet within the atmosphere on a new flowing stream known as the ether belt
Ether was a strange energy seemingly bottled up long ago that burst into the atmosphere creating a flowing river of light that carries these fragments of stone. On three of these massive pieces of the former planet somehow civilization survived. The ancient technology of the old world saved the inhabitants from annihilation but the fragments of the old civilization were washed away...
And so humanity started over, new, fresh. And it started with a name…
Shambala, named after the city in Buddhist legends. That was the name given to the new nation. Each island had its own name and its own specialty to contribute to society...
Zakythos: This Island was dedicated to understanding the effects that ether was having on humanity. The basic principle seemed that some humans were born in-synch with Ether and could convert this raw energy into matter by mentally willing it…
Magic…
Zakythos has developed the nine towers in effort to learn more about the nature of ether and its purpose
Deist: This Island was devoted to researching the ancient technologies and implementing that knowledge into modern day use. They also research to integrate Ether and Science into Magiscience! This new breed of magic tech has led to the invention of cybernetics that doesn’t involve a power source or neuron-link to one’s brain. They are linked by ether and powered too.
And then Gaea, the center of it all, it was the capitol of the new world in the sky. Here the king makes residence and the bustling city of Alanis is thriving.
And so it has been for three hundred years since the destruction of the world beneath us. But now we are finally ready to strike out on our own. We’ve invented vessels that fly on the Ether current called Aerosailers. These vessels will allow us to search for other thriving islands. For three centuries we’ve learned every inch of our prison and how it works…
It’s time to break out!

The Detailed Explanation of Shambala-
The explination for the explination! These are just guidlines, you don't have to go strictly by these specific classes or abilities, please just review them to know what kinda things are acceptable but if you come up with your own profession or abilities just say so in the profile!
Races: In shambala, there are a couple of races that exist outside of humans. The can range from animal/like people to something even stranger.
Chimera- The hybrids are most commonly known as human beings that have been mixed with the blood of animals from the past. Their bodies are most likely shaped like humans but their faces are what are often changed. In addition, various parts of their bodies can also be different.
Such as carrying tails or something that would not normally be found on a human. Beside's looking the part they can also posses animal-like behavior and abilities. Such as a good sense of smelling or increased power or speed, a normal human would not posses. The weaknesses of some chimeras is their unable to control their own beastly desires. Causing them to possibly lose one self’s to the animal inside. They can also be vunerable to what can cause damage to their animal havles.
Cyborg- A cyborg is a human that is half machine and half flesh. They usually have mechanical limbs that were originally lost or damaged. They also posses increased stamina and strength. Their mechanical bodies almost make good hiding places for tools, equipments, and even weapons. In addition, because the mechanical body parts attached to them their bodies are usually slow and not very fast.
Humans- Probably the largest in the race humans are very self-explanatory. Coming in different colors and cultures, they are all one race. Possessing a stronger intellect and strength, they can be on par with all the other three races.
Professions- The jobs in which people take in the world of Shambala. Although this is the basic list and jobs other then these can be chosen.
Shop Keeper: A person who can own a store, bar, or even a cart. They usually supply the role-players with their daily equipment or fighting needs.
Inventor: An inventor is a person usually within Deist who can create machinery or is trying to create a need breed. They are usually working on inventing weapons for the betterment of humankind, usually.
Wizard: A person in Zakythos who practices in the art of magic by summoning the powers of the ether waves. They are able to wield the elements of the world and are capable of manipulating the environment. They are usually within Zakythos. Most take on the job as students and learn from their masters.
Assassin: A killer for hire would be a better description. They can be from any race and wield any source of power. They are usually very stealthy and hard to catch.
Knight: A person who guards the castle of the Saria family. They usually where very hard armor and are well trained in wielding archaic weapons. They can also wield technological and magical energy.
Bounty Hunter: A person who tracks after escaped criminals or killers. They can range from many different backgrounds but they all have one goal. Very self-explanatory.
Explorer: A person who travels upon the ether waves in search of new life or another island to live on. They usually travel for years studying the different worlds they past by.
Pirate: Bloodthirsty criminals or just dastardly villains. They will steal from the rich and poor and sail upon the ether waves avoiding bounty hunters.
No Profession/Civilian: Maybe you do not do any work within the society of Shambala. Well that is ok you can just stay out of work.
Powers/Skills:From weapon wielding to shooting magic fireballs all lies here.
Archaic Weapon Skills: Stuff like this usually includes archaic weapons like swords, knives, and spears. It can also include bow and arrows, shields, etc.
Modern Weapon Skills: Things such as firearms like pistols and other guns. They can usually be found in Deist but are normally off-limits to any civilians. Besides firearms, it can also include operating large machinery for combat.
Magic Wielding: Magic is basically the power to mold the universe into your will. This power is devided into hundreds of schools from geomancer to necromancer to basically anything you could wish to mancer... Most mages master two or three schools in an entire lifetime. The drawback to this power is that you can only filter so much ether through your body and convert it to universe-bending magic in a day before you become completely drained.
Examples of which are..
Pyromancer= fire magic
Aquamancers = water magic
Illusionist= Create illusions
teleportation= duh..
Mechanical Skills: These people are sick of wizards waving wands and disrupting the flow of the way the world works! This world's been here for billions of years so it's got to have something inherently right with it! These people use human ingenuity and gold ol' fashion know how to turn a shiny rock and some plastic into a thing that put a hole right through you.
Chimera Abilities: Animal-like weapons they can be teeth, nails, or maybe some form of poison. Can be various depending on what they are mixed with.
This is a new site that I just joined since Edge has been inactive. I don't know that much about it but it seems really cool ^^. Please join if you have the time. And if you need an instant friend on there my username is Suette.
