Keepers

[close] Idieyam is a fictional universe, home to humans with a unique power to manipute one of the six elements (air, water, earth, fire, life, death) to their will. Each element has its own abilities that tie in with them, and the person able to manipulate that element learns to use each technique over time. When a child reaches the age of sixteen, they are brought to the palace for their Keeper Ceremony. Each child is escorted by their father, except for in certain circumstances where there is no father and their mother or eldest sibling escorts them. They stand in front of the Elemental Mirror, a historical full-length mirror, in which they come face to face with the Wolf God, Kiowa. Kiowa then bestows upon them the element he believes will best fit them. Members of the same family will often be granted the same element or an element closest to it. Once a child receives their element, they are then conscripted into a certain line of work. Most are able to choose what they want and what they want are usually associated with their element. Many boys will begin training to become Keeper Warriors, a specific soldier group that excludes women. Note This is an advanced roleplay based on the book I wrote myself. See the Storyline Thread for more information or futher explanation.
