It may pain you to even think of it, but imagine a time in the far distant future. The Light Side had nearly destroyed all records of the Dark SiDe. The Island was abandoned and the Dark SiDe was left in memories.
Mankind had suffered a cataclysmic catastrophe. Man had nearly become wiped out, but they survived. They rebuilt though, and their techonology is on par with the technology we have in the present.
One fateful day, a small crew were sailing ships in the wide blue oceans when the were in a terrible storm, and their ship wrecked on a deserted Island. Nothing was left to chance however, and ancient mysterious forces were at work that day. The crew explord the Island and found a Castle where ancient books and teachings of the Dark SiDe lay. It was their destiny to rebuild the Dark SiDe to its former glory. They called themselves the Discoverers, and they named their quest - [glow=red,2,300]Rebirth[/glow]

alrite, im kinda in a rush right now so...
Name-Drake/Damian
Age-24
Appearance-He has dark brown eyes that are easily mistaken for black, and chocolate brown medium short hair. He is 5' 8" and he is of medium build. His favorite color is unanimously blue, and he likes to wear thick black boots. He has a scar over his right eye from childhood and one of his stupid stunts. and a small burn on this left pinky finger from a stupid experiment.
Bio-He was born into a normal family, but he himself was not normal. Ever since he got a bump on his head when he was 6, he had had a split personality. At times he is Drake, the smart know-it-all nerd who hates physical activity, and others he is Damian the show offy kid who loves getting into fights.
Drake is a man of science and logic. His intellect is top notch and he was expected to go to a university and graduate top of his class. He loves conducting experiments to find out difficult problems, but they sometimes get him in trouble. He is a very shy person that doesnt like being the center of attention, that's where Damian comes in.
Damian is a show off. He loves the spotlight, and showing off. His intellect is above average, not as high as Drakes, but not an idiot. Even so, he dislikes the use of his mind. He prefers physical action. He loves getting into fights, just to show off the fact he'll kick your ass.
The one thing they both have in common though is that they love the occult. They are in no way offended by violence, and the one movies they both agree to watch are action or horror. They both are into the goth scene, but they dont dress like them to keep people from knowing.

Name: Novaris Smith (sorry to use smith again but its soooo much easier) Age: 19 Appearance: Long black hair with many strands of white and grey. Slender but strong, and piercing brown eyes that dart, searching... She wears simple clothes; white shirt, black jacket and ragged trousers. She wears a scarf to cover up some old scars that she hates and usually dons a pair of sunglasses to cover up her large eyes. She believes that they weaken her by revealing herself. Bio: Treasure hunter, that's all she cares about. Loyalty...what's that? As long as she gets what she came for then she's happy. Likes her guns but only when heavily outnumbered, she likes a good ole scrap. Her favourite weapon is an old crossbow, she is never without it.

Name: Matthew Hews
Age: 20
Appearance: Dark brown short straight hair. Tall, with hazel colored eyes. He has a cheerful face, but has been know to 'change' sometimes.
Bio: Growing up, Matthew had a normal life. Apart from the fact that his family owned a successful lawyer firm, which would bring in large...profit. Almost as young as five, Matthew hated it all. He hated the idea of having to continue to own the business. His parents always wanted him to go to law school, but as he grew older his dislike for it all slowly grew.
When Matthew was 16 his parents both died in a car crash, his life went into ruin and he spent most his time grieving. Slowly he developed a 'hatred' for most things. "Why me, why them?" He used to ask himself, his was taken in by his uncle. After living with him for a few months, the hatred went away. But it left a new stronger Matthew.
His uncle had been an archaeologist, but was now retired. He used to show him all the things he had found. Soon Matthew grew to like archeology, instead of growing to law school he went to university and studied archeology. He was a bright student, but didn;t have many friends as he was always studying.
After leaving University he found many things, went to many digs. There weren't many things left after the 'catastrophe' so there was always a rush to find new information. One fateful day, he came across some evidence that kept speaking of a supposed 'Dark SiDe'.
Soon he was finding more and more, and became fascinated with it. He dreamed one day of finding them... or what was left...

Nova packed her things. "Yet another adventure..." She grinned softly to herself. "More treasure!" Her eyes glinted with the prospect of riches. This outing may be her last She hadn't told her family she was bankrupt. The last expedition she had gone on hadn't gone well, to say the least. She had to auction off most of her belongs to keep the family house, she even had to auction her crossbow. But strangely enough the person who bought it gave it back to her. "Let's call it a first installment.." He had smiled. "For what?" She had snapped back. But really feeling grateful. "I am part of... an...outing...with a few of my colleagues..." He grinned. "What's in it for me? Why do you need me?" "A hefty pay packet, and some experience. We need you because, well, you are the proffesional..." Nova thought it over..."I'm broke anyway..." She thought... "I will except your offer Mr..." "Please, call me Matthew...."

Name: Shiraz Dracos (rings a bell?) but usually they just call her... SD.
Age: 19
Appearance: for some reason she seems to have long, wavy, silver hair; which she usually ties up and lets just two string of hair fall on her face. Her eyes are dark blue, though they seem to turn a bit lighter when she is near the sea. As for her height, she is 1.65m tall, quite average and has a quite athletic build. Shiraz is usually seen wearing a black open back shirt which ties up behind her neck (with a little ribbon yay) and a pair of comfy white pants.
Bio: she never really met her parents; or any other member of her family as a matter of fact (or at least she doesn’t remember them). She had been raised at the palace of the so called ‘Light Side’ and whenever she packed up the courage to ask them about her family she was faced with anger and shouts, or they would just avoid the answer and change the subject. They trained her into a powerful warrior and sorceress and tried to imprint in her their ideals and principals. The only problem was, she wouldn’t let them. As she grew older the ‘Light Side’ seemed like a prison to her, they barely let her do anything and supervised her constantly. She felt as if they were hiding something and didn’t want to be their subject and follower. Only stormy night she got the chance she had been waiting for. While the other light siders were busy trying to protect the castle from the ferocious storm, she managed to sneak past them and run away for good. She now had no idea where she was heading, she just roamed from city to city, trying to find the answers she had always been looking for. On the following year she started hearing more and more stuff about this ‘Dark SiDe’ and it sparked her interest immediately. For some reason it felt so familiar... One day she came across an exhibition in the corner of the town she was in. It was quite small, not many things to see, mostly documents, but it seemed to be based on the ‘Dark SiDe’. Full of wonder, Shiraz went to find the one who was responsible for the exhibition and see what she could find out. She was tired of searching alone anyway. The name of that man, as she discovered later, was Matthew Hews.

Time had past, and Matthew had gained more information about 'The Dark SiDe'. But the major find was a map, it showed writing and a few diagrams about how to get to a supposed island owned by The Dark SiDe. Most of it was either missing, faded or just plain illegible. But the main drawback was that is was written in some kind of unknown coding or language. Soon he was spending countless nights trying to figure out what it said.
After his parents death, he had inherited his rather large family fortune. So far he had vowed to only use it when he needed and to pay the university fees. But now he had broken this vow to hire some of the worlds best cryptographers, historians and many more. None of them found much out, they would only be able to find minor things.
As the days passed Matthew's hope faded away with the ticking of the clock. One fateful night whilst Matthew was observing what the researcher found he lost patients and kicked the desk over in anger. But instead of seeing a mess he saw pieces of information piece together.
Alone, the information was almost useless, but together it was amazing. Soon he had translated the whole text, it explained where it was and how to get there...
His gut instinct was to set of right away, he could easily rent a small freighter. But he was lacking something... a crew. He need people who would be useful assets and could help, and mainly shared the main intent as him.
Matthew decided that he should open a gallery with all his findings in and information about the island, it would attract people who could help him, he had the money...

"So this is your gallery huh..." Nova smiled an emotionless smile. The pictures and scriptures were fascinating, they were so old but most of them were in really good condition. "No wonder you were able to buy my crossbow back for me.." She grinned at the man who had helped her. "What do you want to achieve from this trip. Treasure? Artifacts? What is your goal?" Novaris enquired, wondering how she played a part in all this...

It had been about midday when Matthew was overlooking the gallery when a woman about the same age as him tapped his shoulder. After telling her about his 'expedition' she seemed rather interested. Soon they were talking about it, she said she would be happy to join. By the next day Matthew had given her the job, her first payment and sorted everything out. She seemed capable, she had experience with machinery and could help out with a few odd jobs.
"What do you want to achieve from this trip. Treasure? Artifacts? What is your goal?" Nova asked Matthew.
"Well, as much as i would love the fame and glory, thats not the main reason. You see, this information could tell us many things about our forgotten past. Also, something about the Dark SiDe fascinates me, i somehow fell connected to them." Matthew replied, he was going to give her the full blown dramatic speech, but he didn't want to scare her away.
"May i ask, what interests you in this job, apart from the money," He chuckled.
"Well..." Nova hesitated. "You know, i need a job and it sounds... interesting. Oh, do you have a boat and everything ready?"
"A boat, well, i have it ready, along with a captain and a few crew members. But still, we need to wait till a few more people join us. I'm sure it wont be long. Anyway, i better shut the gallery down, its getting late," He continued, before wishing the woman a safe trip back.
After locking the doors he descended some steps before his pocket started vibrating. Answering his phone he said "Hello?" It was late and he was wondering who was calling.
"Hey Matthew, listen, you know the university library that they were renovating? Well, apparently whilst the were digging up part of the ground, they found a part of the some tunnel or something that had been there since part of the library was destroyed. Apparantly it holds some books or something about the Dark SiDe, you should get down there." Matthews friend John replied not giving him a chance to speak.
Matthew could recall it all. The library was one of the oldest buildings in the city, it had been there since the time of the Dark SiDe. But years ago part of it just collapsed, but what was odd was that the building was incredibly sturdy and had not chance of collapsing. Some people say it was the Light Side getting rid of information that they didn't want anyone to see.
"I'm coming." Matthew replied before hanging up.
In the car Matthew ad time to think.
The Light Side now were a major organization all around the world. They say that they are here to keep the world 'Safe and orderly' but many know they are hiding something. They are part of the government and get their money from them.
Now they seem to be doing more than keeping the world safe, they're hiding things from the public, covering things that they don't want people to see. This lack of knowledge have caused people to create conspiracy theories, and become worried.
Every now and then when David would find text written by the Dark SiDe he would always find mentions of the Light Side and how they were slowly destroying the Dark SiDe. It shocked him at how old they were, but shocked him more when he found out they wiped out the Dark SiDe.
Over time they had grown and now stood where they are now. Several times when Matthew received tips on where he could find Dark SiDe artifacts, he would go there to find it surrounded by members of The Light side carrying guns telling everyone there was a gas leak preventing them from going into there. It was now clear that they were destroying evidence of the Dark SiDe.
-------
The headlights on Matthews car cut through the darkness and landed upon a man wearing the Light Sides uniform.
"Crap," He muttered to himself.
"What is your business here?" The man asked.
"Erm... i just need to get something..."
"Well, theres some foundation issues with the building so we can't let anyone in." Matthew realized that he was too late.
"Listen," David said waving a wad of cash in the mans face. "Let me in and this could be yours."
"I do not accept bribery, please leave before i alert someone." And with that Matthew angrily drove away back to his apartment.

OOC: umm Stefan, this is not a war. The Dark SiDe does not exist yet, we're supposed to discover things about it and rebuild it as a group when we meet each other and get to the island
