[ This is the OOC forum for www.roleplay.me/forums/topic/20544/1 ]
The Four Symbols are four mythological creatures in the Chinese constellations. They are the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird (Phoenix) of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Turtle of the North. Each one of them represents a direction and a season, and each has its own individual characteristics and origins. Symbolically and as part of spiritual and religious belief, they have been culturally important in China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan.
The Four Clans believe in these creatures, each one holding their name as their sigil of power. They all lived in harmony until a darkness came upon them, calling themselves the Fifth Clan. Their leader claiming to hold the power of the Yellow Dragon of the Center within him. A creature that was said to have died long ago after challenging the Azure Dragon for its spot in the sky. None of the other Clans believed in his words and were struck down by lightning. It has never been heard of for a mythological beast give its power to a human but this human beheld the Yellow Dragon's powers and named himself ruler of the Clans.
Centuries passed and the Yellow Dragon Clan have ruled. Though prophecy beholds that 4 children born in the same year, each during different seasons would find that they too have the power of the Four Beasts inside them.That they would come together to over throw the Fifth Clan's hold on their families clans and bring the world back to the way it way before.
Easy as it sounds, these children are found. Each having a distinct tattoo on their arms of their beast. They are brought together by their chiefs so that they may help each other grasp the use of their powers together. (As the power didn't appear until each turned 21) Though the Clans aren't as friendly now as they were back then. With the future of these 4 children unknown, will they help each other and save their people? Or will they fail to work together to fulfill the prophecy?

As a rank tier of which chosen’s are better at a more fighting style. I’d say it would be Junzhu, Cordelia/Takuto, Amelia, and lastly Oso. I planned for Amelia to also be more on the conservative side. More of a ranged fighter, being able to support everyone else whether it is freezing the ground to make it hard for enemies to keep their balance to tossing shards of ice, freezing the blood in their limbs etc. However, close combat/hand-to-hand would be her weakness.

I would say for an order as of right now would be:
@Takuto_Karikuchi
@LilBlythe
@TheamazingEccentric
@Lizzie_Jo
@Lostgirlofneverland
@Emperor
As the person who hasn’t replied for the longest was Takuto, then Ria, etc.
