23/09/2011; Crush reskinned! Oh my gosh! Why don't you all let us know what you think of the new skin? You can comment in the thread found here! If things look out of place for the next little bit (a half hour or so, starting at around 9:00 pm cbox time), it's because the sin is still getting switched over. Please be patient! The skin images and such should all be up now. If you see something out of place - besides images in apps made before today - please let me know so I can fix it! Also, there's a new rule! Check it out!

08/09/2011; So I finally got around to handing out advertising contest prizes. My creativity sorta... died. I couldn't think of anything to add to the prizes, so instead I just gave an extra 200 coins to first, second and third place. Though, we may have to have another one soon, cause this place needs more members. For now, though, I'll settle for the lovely activity check that you can find here! I've sent out a mass email to bother you all to come back, so there's no excuse for not posting in it. If you've posted an away topic, though, don't worry <3 We aren't entirely heartless and we'll take it into account.

18/08/2011; I think it's done... Oh my. Okay, so, if you see anything missing, let me know ASAP. Other than that, we're good to start advertising! WitS is officially open!

18/08/2011; Boards are done! Now, to write stuff up... if anyone wants to work on ideas for the shop perhaps? The rest is pretty easy for me to work on, but my mind isn't thinking of any shop stuff as of this moment in time, so a little help would be nice <3 I'll get to coding the rest tomorrow in the car or something. Maybe xD

17/08/2011; Skin is done.... next up, boards. But that can wait until tomorrow. If you guys have any ideas, lemme know by posting in the "To do" thread!

SUMMER; Hot and humid, this summer is one to be careful of what you do. Don't overexert yourself, or you may quickly come to regret it later. The Grace Hospital is filling up with cases of heat stroke and they're quickly running out of room for the most dire cases, sometimes even resorting to turning people who need the help away due to a lack of beds. Storms to break the heat are rare, but much appreciated when they come. Looks like it'll be a hard year for farmers, too, as it's fairly dry and you can only hand-water so many crops.
THERE ARE NO FLOWERS, NO NOT THIS TIME THERE’LL BE NO ANGELS GRACING THE LINES
FULL NAME
Vitae Sitka
NICKNAMES
It’s never been used before, but her name could easily be shortened to Vee
AGE
Eighteen
GENDER
Female
RACE
Draca
SEXUALITY
Heterosexual
POWER(S)
She controls fire, can shapeshift to a dragon, and has excellent hearing, as is traditional to her race. Despite her lack of control concerning when she changes, she does manage to have surprising amounts of control on how much she changes and has already sprouted only her wings before. On the side, partially unrelated to her race, she is actually a reincarnation of a great draca warrior known as Lauren. Lauren takes over her mind occasionally, though Vee has no recollection of what happens while Lauren is in control. Lauren, despite using the body of an eighteen year old draca who shouldn’t have much control, can show all the control of a fully mature and practiced draca when it comes to powers, skills and shifting.
HAIR/FUR
Vee’s hair is pure white, as are her scales in her dragon form.
EYES
Like all draca, Vee’s eyes are red, though they are more of a darker red.
BODY TYPE
In one form, Vee is very much humanoid. In the other, she is draconic.
APPEARANCE
Vee is a rare albino draca. As such, her hair is pure white. It has grown long, nearing her knees, though she is so accustomed to it now that it rarely gets in the way. Her eyes are the trditional draca red, usually on the slightly darker end. They seem to shift shades with her mood. They have flecks of black in them, making them appear darker than they should, but they can be so light that they appear almost white if she is exceptionally happy. She is slender, even in comparison to those of her kind that are lean muscled. There a hidden strength in her, though she would never dare to show it. It fits her proportions, though; she's petite at five foot two. Her dragon form is small as well, not taller than six foot and half an inch at the shoulder. Her scales are iridescent white, giving the appearance that she is glowing as soon as the light hits her. Her wings appear to be feathered even though they aren't, and where draca would have spikes, she actually has long fur. She is always wearing a cape when in human form, to hide from others. She knows of her kind's persecution and she isn't keen to be killed for who she is. What she doesn't know is that the draca have been very much forgotten and handed down to legends, so almost no one actually nows about them.
LIKES
Being alone, the wind on her face, the warmth of almost-boiling water, the smell of coffee, hot chocolate, feeling safe, watching storms
DISLIKES
Cold water, rain, hurting others, her “blackouts” when Lauren takes over, being stereotyped as weak because she’s small and female, being underestimated, tea
STRENGTHS
Quick learner, good control over her abilities considering her age, good at blending into the background
WEAKNESSES
Usually won’t defend herself, afraid to be in populated areas now, sometimes too trusting
HABITS
She tends to finger a necklace that has been handed down through her family from the first emperor of the draca, Cain. It helps her calm down and she believes it is the only thing left of the draca, beyond herself.
SECRETS
She hides her race for fear of being killed just like the rest of her race
PERSONALITY
Vitae used to be a happy, fun-loving girl. These qualities still remain, but only show rarely, and never in full force. Not anymore. Ever since she figured out her heritage and what she was, she has been afraid and is now hesitant about meeting new people, especially since she tends to be out of control in her transformations. When she turns to her dragon form, the memories of blood upon her birth often drive her insane, and she goes into a fit of rage. Thus, her new found unsociable attitude was born. She deems it safer for everyone if she stays out of their way, all on her own. She also tends to be a target for bullies and gang members because she'll never do anything. She knows how to fight, but she hates to, so she doesn't if she can help it and even when she should, sometimes.
Lauren, her "alter-ego" of sorts, is the complete opposite. She was a warrior who guarded the emperor Cain and was very good at her job. She fears nothing, though she only fights in order to defend herself. She is confidant, defiant, and very morally conscious. She follows an ancient code, though, as she lived so long ago. She is outdated and tends to stand out among the more moern customs.

HISTORY
She was born just before a war between her people and another kind. Her parents were dead upon her hatching, and as a result of stress, she transformed to human quickly after. She was found and raised by an older couple, but on the eve of her eighteenth birthday her mind was flooded with the past of her people, as always happened. She ran away that night, leaving behind everything except for a black cloak and the necklace she had been found with. The necklace was simple pewter, but carved intricately. It had been passed down through her family, as it was her grandfather's.
Upon finding this place, and its oddities, she figured she would fit in here. However, she was still hesitant about it, and stayed in the woods for a year, hunting for food. Only now does she step into the light, to see what wonders this new world holds. She, and everyone alive who knows she lives, believes she is nothing more than a strange draca. This is far, far from the truth.
You have all heard of unicorns and vampires and these sorts of things, I’m sure. They’re real, all of them. Sure, you can’t find them here on Earth, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. They live in a world where Earth is the story, cars and telephones nothing more than a passing joke. In this world, technology is just starting to pick up on the road to progress and magic is far more common to see. Lately, though, in the center of this world, a place called Carvalo City, a new gang has formed. They call themselves The Faith and they work in the underground tunnels and the shadows of the slums, recruiting members day after day. They think Earth is real and they think they can find a way there. With this appetizing thought, they are gaining power quickly and that’s not all. The blind are beginning to see, those with deformities beginning to heal. Some call it a miracle. Others call it a warning. The only thing solid is that there is no explanation for it, just that it started when The Faith started testing ways to reach Earth. But, is Earth really real, or is it just a story?
