First off, sorry for starting a new post, but the other one is a page back...
Also, this time I have more information. Please Note that it is kind of unorganized. I will fix this later.
Peace Out!

Welcome to the realms of Project Bind: Cursed Eternal. This is the beginning of an epic adventure; a story about the power of knowledge, and the lengths people will go to collect such knowledge, inevitably leading to their demise.
The Story: This is expressed through the Characters.
The Characters:
Aelian Kross
Age 16
Aelian (alien) is a young boy from New Althacega, a city at the northern edge of Alnaria, by the ocean. Aelian spends most of his time with Mysti Laek (lake) and her pet, Roko. Aelian has lived with his older sister, Saherra (Sahara) Kross, since their mother was reported dead by the Military. Aelian lives in seemingly eternal bliss until a letter arrives from the Military claiming that Aelian’s long missing father, Destond (destined) Kross, is alive, and in a small town south of the capitol city, Oltharia, which is south east of Althacega. It is at this point that Aelian begins asking his sister about their parents. When Saherra doesn’t return a decent answer, Aelian persists, until his sister leaves to find Destond. Aelian is forced to wait for Saherra’s return, and Mysti tries to console him, but after a day, Aelian is fed up with everything and goes to his secret spot in the woods. After venting his anger and frustration on some plants and animals nearby, Aelian heads back to his house. There he finds Roko beat up on the floor, and Mysti’s lifeless body not far off. Aelian finds with Mysti a small note.
It’s the forth house from the east exit going left. Kill the child, leave no witnesses. If you fail, you will be killed. Destroy this note after you read it, and destroy any incriminating evidence. Try to make it look like a random assault, and bring back the child’s Soul intact.
Sealed: S.B.L.
Aelian’s first task is to get to his sister and show her the note.
Saherra Kross
Age 22
Saherra has been keeping a secret from Aelian; their mother isn’t dead. When Saherra receives word that her Father is still alive, Saherra knows she must go to him, and make sure that he is safe. But, Saherra does not want to endanger her brother, so she keeps the secret longer, even when Aelian suddenly becomes interested in their parents. Saherra goes to Destond, only to discover it is a trap. Saherra learns that her Mother killed her father long ago, and that she and her brother are the targets of a secret organization called the Soul Bind Legion. These are the last moments of Saherra’s conscious life. After learning the truth, Saherra’s soul is taken from her body. Saherra’s body is animated by a necromancer, and is used as a Zombic Weapon. Her soul is bound to the soul of a creature called a Wingless Harpy. The result is Saharpy, perfect Bindophyte 3.
Destond Kross
Age 58
Destond is dead. His wife, who he discovered was having an affair with her boss, a foreigner named Rusu Hikari, murdered him. Destond’s only regret before dying was leaving his children behind to find his wife.
???? Kross
Age ??
This is the mother of Aelian and Saherra, and the wife of Destond. This woman has been bound to a Fury Fairy, a wicked, black fairy. This has resulted in a very malevolent new personality, and a dark lust for destruction.
She goes by Shade, and is second in command of the organization, the Soul Bind Legion. It was actually her idea to use Necromancy on the soulless bodies that Rusu’s Project leaves behind.
Rusu Hikari
Age 56
Rusu is on a quest to find eternal life. His fear of death has driven him to seek the truth about what happens after life. This quest for knowledge helped Rusu to learn that Souls are very real, and that, by fusing a human soul and an immortal animal soul and placing the soul in the human’s body, that human can become immortal. They may gain several side effects, such as personality change, body rot, memory loss, increased aggression, decreased humanity, etc.
Rusu found this information while looking at old records from an Ancient ruin, left behind by the Elderons. These ancient peoples experimented with necromancy to such a degree that they almost made themselves immortal, but only a few ‘Bindophytes’ were perfect, and even they became destroyers of their own civilization. In the end, Necromancy destroyed the Elderons, and so it became illegal when discovered by the next generation of intelligent life. But Rusu thought he could find a way to avoid such problems. He formed an organization of ex-military soldiers and generals that thought they were supposed to be planning a take over of Alnaria. Unfortunately for these people, they were just pawns for Rusu’s own greedy need to avoid death.
The Bindophytes
The Bindophytes are the people whose souls were bound to a monster’s successfully. There are only seven Perfect Byndophytes, or Byndophytes that didn’t get the Body Rot Defect, but did get the powers of the monster whose soul they share. All of the Byndophytes start with human bodies, but over time, the new soul shapes the body into something…unnatural.
Notes:
Rusu Hikari has a Japanese name because he is from a country based on a Japan. His name comes from the phrase rusunohikari, which means Absence of Light.
People who are offered a chance to join the S.B.L. usually do because they hate their ruler, King Oltharia XIV, a man with little backbone, who is easily manipulated by his uncle. King Oltharia didn’t help himself any when he sent half of the Military to a foreign land to find and destroy a small group of people that had killed his aunt. Even though Oltharia’s uncle demanded that Oltharia do this for him, Oltharia is the one who is hated, especially because a large portion of the Military sent over was killed by the foreign country’s own military.
The World:
Alnaria is a vast world full of ancient landmarks, bustling cities, and beautiful landscapes. Pirates plunder the inhabitants of the West Seas, and Ninjas (or Assassins) secretly destroy their marks all across the country. A weak King, with his uncle’s persistently “guiding†hand behind him, rules Alnaria from his castle in the city of Oltharia, at the summit of Mount Anumisa (named after King Oltharia II’s wife). An island of cutthroats and thieves sits isolated by the frozen southern lake of Chilmatre. In the northwest, in the vast forests, sits the city of Lioria. And lastly, there is the Darkvalley, the closest thing to a desert in Alnaria. The Darkvalley is a barren land with only one known refuge, Blood Oasis. Beyond Darkvalley is the Endless Void, a seemingly perpetual sea of a smoke-like essence filled with randomly placed stones just large enough to walk on…
Politics:
Alnaria is ruled by a King and his Council. Without a King, the Queen becomes ruler, and without a Queen, the oldest child will rule. In the rare case that no relative is left to rule, the Council will assign one of there own members, and he shall become the first in a new line of Royalty.
The Council consists of six men, each with a specific region to look after. These regions are called Territories, and the Council members that rule them are called Lords. Each Territory is named after the first six Council Lords; Grihm, Elderwood, Freymon, Jerikol, Weslint, and Servad. The current ruling Lords have power over taxes, land, crops, and almost every other aspect of the economy. They also act as Supreme Judge of their region.
Each Lord of the Council has his own small army, and has the right to draft any male of age (in Alnaria, 13) into the Military. Most Lords are kind, but sometimes a selfish Lord arises and uses his powers for greed and dominion.
Religions:
In Alnaria, there are two Religions, Alna Way, and Ria Way. Alna Way is the belief that the God of the Sun, Alna, is the Father of All Creation, and the Mighty Hand of Justice. Ria Way, however, is the belief that the Goddess of the Moon, Ria, is the Mother of All Life, and the Soothing Sound of Honesty. These two religions contradict each other on many subjects, such as the birth of Humans, and the cause of the Great Immortal War between Alna and Ria. Often, these two groups can be seen fighting, and on some rare occasions, one group actually has members of the other assassinated.
Beings of Alnaria:
Humans
Humans were created in the middle of the Great Immortal War, which is the reason humans are believed to be so belligerent. Humans can be quite intelligent, though they lack the connection to nature that the Dielkin and Demons share, making them enemies of the two other races.
Humans used what they found from the Ancient Elderons’ ruins, learning about art, architecture, science, math, and astronomy. Humans, through there own form of simple science, Chemistry, learned to create medicine. Finally, with the help of Dielkin, the humans learned how to use magic, or the ability to manipulate the natural world to accomplish supernaturally some simple or tedious task. But, of coarse, the Humans taught themselves to use magic as a weapon; the flame spells used to light fires became a weapon to burn down homes, while water spells once used to dowse these flames became a way to drown unsuspecting innocents. Eventually order was reached as a government and religion took over, and magic became a skill to be honed and perfected.
Dielkin
These are the only creatures that have been around since before the fall Elderons. Dielkin are usually tall, slender creatures, with long hair, solid white eyes, and various plants growing out of their heads, shoulders, hands, and/or feet. Dielkin were born with the gift of magic, but were foolish enough to share that gift with humans. This nearly destroyed the Dielkin, and so Human-Dielkin relations have had tensions for many decades.
Dielkin are born from the woman of their species like humans are, but Dielkin woman require plant seeds to conceive. The seeds used determine the plants that grow out of the baby Dielkin, as well as his or her personality.
Angels
Angels were created by Ria to mock her ex-lover, Alna, after he created the Humans. Angels, unlike humans, are perfectly shaped, with golden eyes, and silver hair. Some Angels have been known to grow wings, though they are rare. Angels are stronger, smarter, and healthier than any human. They live in the Haven Realm, a world created by Ria to keep her creations safe from Alna’s Demons.
Demons
These creatures are the results of Alna’s attempts to recreate the Angel. Although Alna never succeeded, he did create several lines of Demons that looked like beautiful humans. These Demons tend to be very violent, though. One of Alna’s attempts ended with a creature so horrid he had to through it in the Endless Void. That demon is said to roam the dark seas to this very day.
Several of the Demons became attached to nature, and, over time, became Nature Spirits, or guardians of their favored part of nature. These are the immortal animals Rusu Hikari uses in Project Bind.
That’s all for now…
