A Brief Summary
Panathamin is a world created by the gods, but is now abandoned by its very creators. Creatures called the devas rule most of the lands for they harness the very power of the gods they were spawned by, they can come many different forms and varieties. Humans are the beloved creatures of the gods, their very first living creation. The enlightened were humans at some point in time, but are introduced to a god's blood which grants them special powers.
The whole plot is the power struggle between "good" and "evil". The devas and the enlightened. The humans are stuck in between this battle, some siding with whatever force they choose or are captured by. Who is good? Who is evil? Or is this world just different shades of gray.
Now the important question left is which side will win?
Only you can decide.
*Cue the dramatic music.*
In the beginning of time, the gods created humans. The humans were made in their image, and the gods loved them for this. It wasn't until a particular god had loved a woman, more then a love shared between the creator and created. The woman, honored to be noticed, took to the god. Together they created a child from their love, and it was different then all other creations. This action had inspired other gods to take human lovers, and soon they too became impregnated.
The children that were of god and man, also referred to as devas, were all different, some partaking to the skills of their gods while others had abilities completely different from their origins. Creatures of many kinds were created by the coupling of god and man. Sometimes they took upon the form partial forms animals, or they possessed powers that supersede those of humans. They were abominations in the gods eyes and because of their unnatural appearances the gods left Panathamin as punishment to themselves and humans.
The devas with other humans, passing on their gifts to their children. It wasn't until many generations that the creatures of god and man took advantage of their powers and used them to rule over other humans. The humans could not compare to the abilities of the devas, and if they rebelled, they ended up dead. So they surrendered.
Many more generations had past before a human prayed to the gods that abandoned them for help. One goddess of lesser power, felt his pleas and answered his call. She realized the sins her fellows, and how their offspring misused their powers. She could not remove the devas, for they were to vast and many, but she granted the human her blood and with it her power. She paid the ultimate sacrifice to save humanity, her life.
The blood of the god gave those who consumed it great power and some of the knowledge of the dead goddess held. It, when administered to the humans, changed them into what we now call the enlightened. The enlightened reproduced offspring after the blood ran out, but they never coupled with humans as to avoid creating abominations. The enlightened, after preparing for many years, waged war against the creatures so they could protect their former kin, humans.
The war wages on, but many of the enlightened and creatures are dead now. Rumors of peace have spread across the land that the war is to end. A contract of peace between the humans, enlightened, and the creatures. Though this was not confirmed as of yet, some have come to abide by it.

The enlightened are humans who were gifted the power of a lesser god by blood. First generation enlightened are often more powerful because the blood runs fresh in them, as the generations go, they get weaker. The enlightened are known to breed with only other enlightened as to avoid the creation of such abominations like the god spawn. Often they are orphans, living in human villages until they are called when they get old enough.
They can live longer then the average human and retain their youth, but they often die before they get old enough. Most deaths are painful due to war. They are granted special powers along with their ability to purify the creatures. These powers usually are only enhancements to talents or skills they already have, but sometimes are seemingly "random".
There is no established rank amongst the enlightened, but people often look to the son of the first enlightened and the other first generations who drank the goddess' blood. They all retain a certain sense of justice, usually similar due to the knowledge granted to them by the goddess. They are the peacemakers.

The god spawn, devas, are the mix breeds between humans and gods. The stronger the blood of the gods run through their veins, the stronger they are. Devas usually do not travel or dwell in groups, but it can be, on occasion, found amongst kin or those of similar kind.
They can be or do a number of various things depending on which god they stemmed from. Some may take the appearance of human, others may appear beast like, and some are a mix between. Unnatural powers are often seen in god spawn.
Devas do not have a system of order. Some rule humans, others live in solitude. Most do as they please, whether or not it is considered good or bad. Not all god spawn are evil, just as not all humans are good.

Humans are the beloved creation of the gods, now abandoned. While they may not compare to the physical features and strength of the other species, the humans have the tendency to lean towards compassion and pity then others. Whereas the enlightened are selfless and just driven, and the devas are self satisfying and open, the human are more influenced by their emotions than either.
Humans are caught in between the battle of the enlightened and the devas. On more occasion then one, they often do lean on the enlightened, but can be found as the support of a deva. Most do not actively participate in the bloody war, but human armies are known to be sent to fight against the enlightened by the deva. In this case, they are terminated.

Name: Elric Carnet
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Species: Enlightened
Personal Info
Personality: (You'll get to know him better as we play on. :D )
Elric is a leader, the calm within the storm. He withholds the balance of the enlightened and acts as their council. Though the enlightened do not have a typical ranking, they do see the young man as their head while often depending on him to make difficult decisions. As a leader, Elric had suffered quite a bit of ridicule. Because of that ridicule he, more often then not, puts much time into thinking about the simplest of situations, and often over thinks everything. He can be seen as slightly paranoid, and often tense as though someone where to jump him which has happened on some on some occasions. He tries to be as fair as possible, mainly because he oversees the executions of the god spawn that have been labeled as dangerous.
Talents:Enhanced Speed, Close Combat Fighting
Weaknesses: Katagelophobia
Other
Background: (More to be revealed later)
A direct descendent of the first enlightened. Elric never knew his father; the elder Carnet had spent all his time slaying the god spawn who abused their powers and took advantage of the humans. Soon after he was old enough to care for himself, his mother left him too. Both his parents were presumably lost in a long battle. He grew up in a human village for his own safety until he was called upon by some of the first generation Enlightened.
Elric grew up with other enlightened, most looked to the child for guidance in hopes that he, like his father, would guide them to victory. The expectations for such a small child was high, and it may very well be the reason behind his complex. Despite the pressure always being on, Elric lived up to most of their ideals for a leader. He had his advisers who had helped as much as possible, but he never truly knew the meaning behind childhood.
He started his training as soon as possible, working with the adults to prepare himself for his destiny. Hard work and the determination to do what is right made him the man he is today. Now as an adult, Elric leads rescues amongst villages that have been overtaken by god spawn.
