+ Storyline
"Togenkyo" -- a world based upon the natural balance of a mixed society. Peaceful times between youkai (demons) and humans sustained for many centuries, the two species were brothers. However, someone or something has broken that balance. Youkai have begun to devour humans, ravage villages, and destroy anything that doesn't share the same blood as them. The Gods in the Heavens above were obviously displeased by the sudden lack of sanity by the demons and sent a few chosen few to rid Shangri La (Another word for Togenkyo, and also means 'Paradise' ) of the problem. They have gathered enough information from Earth to state the terror as the "Minus Wave" which only effects Youkai, turning them into blood-thirsty beasts; however they have enough intelligence as they were when they were still peaceful. The Minus Wave is the after-effects of using Youkai Magic with Human Technology, an obvious Taboo in the world of Togenkyo. A group or organization is behind this horrible deed. However Four Items were made from the Collision -- The Black Dragon's Heart, The Celestial Sword, The Chaotic Time Staff, and The Mana Seed. (Yes, Long names, I know). Whomever possesses all of these artifacts will have the ability to reshape Togenkyo in any image they desire. Four Beings are graced with these items at birth and have a strange determination to head West, where the Source of the Minus Wave is.

You are the chosen few, or perhaps you are not. The Gods have not chosen themselves, only Fate twirls the threads of life and death. You have the choice of going down whatever path you please, your future will be told by the end of the road. Certain Demons have chosen to keep thier sanity by using Power Limiters which are small accessories that are worn to ward off the minus wave; Half-demons are not effected by the wave in any way because of thier human blood but are still treated the same as youkai. Discrimination and even death may sometime lead to the 'taboo' children of human and demon. Thier crimson hair and scarlet eyes are the only things that give away thier blood.
+ The Artifacts
The Black Dragon's Heart: Denonates The Powers Of Darkness and enables the user to summon creatures from beyond other dimensions and control they're every whilm. A being who wishes to strike fear in others and bring chaos to Shangri-La will want this artifact. Picture
The Celestial Sword: A sword forged from the stars above. It has the unique ability to slice through anything and gives the user doubled strength. Someone who desires power will desire this. Picture
The Chaotic Time Staff: Gives the user the power to master Time, slowing it down, and even stopping to certain points. However, being 'Chaotic' this means controlling it's power will be extremely hard and sometimes the staff will not respond to the user's wishes. Certain beings who wish to prove thier will power will want this item. Picture
The Mana Seed: This strange weapon can create anything from it's core, however, this can only be something of plant-like standards. Vines, Mutant Venus Fly Traps, Etc. It also gives the user the ability to use Magic, Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth are summoned from inside the Mana Seed. Great Mages seek this item. Picture
+ Shangri-La's Description
Most of this world is a barren wasteland of desert with only a few places of forest-ground. Villages are scattered far from each other and there is barely enough water thanks to the chaos occuring in the Paradise. Technology is scarce except further in the Western Regions.
A Black Cathedral is placed in the middle of everything -- said to hold the secrets of the ancient Togenkyo and is the origin of the Four Artifacts. The Sea Of Black Sand surrounds this church, creatures of shadow and darkness inhabit those lands and makes the journey to the area a battle of life itself.
