I've settled on 'The New Reality' as a title. I feel like this project will work better as a series, so 'The New Reality' will be the main title, but I guess I'll make subtitles for each 'volume' or whatever? Ahaha--

PLOT SUMMARY


This is a story that belongs to this world, set in 2025 in which technology is now much more advanced. During his summer vacation in America, Xavier Tosell suddenly winds up in a completely different world with 12 other people he's never met before. This new world, known as 'The Mystic', is a world made up of a wide archipelago with different races, cultures, creatures and so much more. The 13 teenagers/young adults (ages ranging from 16-23) find themselves with a major quest set before them, with the idea that if they fulfill this quest they will be able to return to their home world.

Of course, with a group who are strangers to one another with a diverse mixture of personalities, this is much easier said than done. There's members of the group who are willing to work, but others who won't. There's members who have useful skills to bring to the quest and those who don't. There's members who seek the position of leadership and are willing to fight over this with the others, and members who aren't stepping forward enough. And Xavier, usually introverted, finds that his practise of swordplay is what makes him valuable to this dysfunctional group. He always saw himself as ordinary, but maybe it's now time to try and become extraordinary.

However, this is far from being your typical fantasy adventure story. When one of the thirteen members of the group, Holly Faulkner, gets killed in battle, the rest of the group are upset and unsure. But Holly finds herself waking up in the real world and discovers the truth behind The Mystic:

The Mystic is not a real world. It is a virtual reality world that thirteen humans have been projected into and being broadcasted internationally as a reality tv show.

Holly finds herself dealing with her newly discovered fame and the media and suffers horrific criticisms from them. The remaining twelve have no idea that this world they're in is fake, and that the whole world is watching them. While Xavier and the others continue their epic journey, Holly's watching how the world reacts to it all.

Xavier Tosell by melondramatics - FULL BODY REFERENCE
Square Xavier by melondramatics - square icon
FULL NAME: Xavier Nicolau Tosell
AGE: 20
BIRTHDAY: 7th July 2005
ETHNICITY: Catalan-Canadian
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Calgary, Canada [Andorra la Vella; Andorra]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: He currently works at a weapons shop
HEIGHT: 5'11"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: The best Swordsman of the group, best at quick thinking, teaches the others swordplay
MAIN WEAPON: He'll go through many different swords, but his starter is a one-handed scimitar sword
GEMSTONE: Ruby [July]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Quintus 'Quin' Damiani, Miriama Wilson
CRUSH: N/A, may or may not change
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: Stanford 'Stan' Gibbs, Jarvis Webster
PERSONALITY: Xavier is quite an introverted individual, who was a bit of a loner in the real world. The only friends he made were those online, and those from his swordplay classes. When he was younger, he was amazed at how cool swordfights were in the movies and was determined to pick it up as well. Needless to say, he's kind of a nerd when it comes to weapons, especially swords. Xavier actually suffers from mild asperger's too, which means he isn't always understanding of others and how to fit in - one of the reasons he comes across distant and aloof. Despite his awkwardness, Xavier is a smart person, very resourceful, and very active, which gets knocked back by his lack of motivation. He hasn't the faintest idea what to do with his future, simply taking each day one step at a time. Xavier is also quite the deadpan snarker, having a great sense of sarcasm and wit. He tends to keep most of these thoughts to himself, but once he's comfortable with someone else he'll be much more open. Xavier is incredibly devoted to his friends and observes them very closely, which usually allows him more social understanding than he can get elsewhere. His main weakness though, is verbal conflict - he can't deal with others yelling at him or each other, and he'll tend to abandon the situation if it comes to that. Unfortunately, in the Mystic, he's with a dysfunctional group all the time, and this group needs his skills in order to survive.

Quintus 'Quin' Damiani by melondramatics - FULL BODY REFERENCE
Square Quin by melondramatics - square icon
FULL NAME: Quintus Valerio Damiani
AGE: 20
BIRTHDAY: 9th September 2005
ETHNICITY: Italian-American
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Los Angeles, USA [Sorrento, Italy]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: He currently works as a waiter at an Italian restaurant
HEIGHT: 5'9"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: the Ranger of the group, best with archery, infectious positivity
MAIN WEAPON: A one-handed sword just in case, but prefers to use his bow and arrows
GEMSTONE: Sapphire [September]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Xavier Tosell, Miriama Wilson
CRUSH: N/A, may or may not change
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: N/A, he's on good terms with everyone in the group
PERSONALITY: Quin is a guy who exudes optimism and enthusiasm. He's extroverted and gets along with others very easily, usually keeping their spirits up when things are tough. Prior to being in the Mystic, he'd trained himself in archery, which allows him to bond with Xavier rather easily. The both of them love talking about weapons and are the only members of the group who have prior experience with handling weapons that are actually available to them in the Mystic. Quin is chatty and affectionate, rather prone to hugging and throwing his arm around others once he deems them a friend. He's very charming too, and because of his pretty boy looks, he tends to be very popular with the ladies. It's something he doesn't mind, but he rarely reciprocates such feelings. Quin is someone with a lot of aspiration who is able to inspire others when he's at his best. When he's at his worst though, Quin becomes miserable, withdrawn and barely speaking - the direct opposite of what he usually is. Quin comes across as a guy who has had it very easy in life, but he's incredibly misunderstood by the others of his group, and by the world as well. He's got a big secret, one that is bound to change the perception of many.

Miriama Wilson by melondramatics - FULL BODY REFERENCE
Square Miriama by melondramatics - square icon
FULL NAME: Miriama Terra Wilson
AGE: 20
BIRTHDAY: 5th May 2005
ETHNICITY: Maori/New Zealander
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Wellington, New Zealand [Queenstown, New Zealand]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: She's currently playing for the Tall Ferns basketball team whilst she's studying a bachelor degree of sport and exercise
HEIGHT: 6'2"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: She uses a taiaha spear and has a strong sense of leadership, she also has the best level of fitness and stamina, she's also the best with animals
MAIN WEAPON: her taiaha spear, she also knows some hand-to-hand combat techniques
GEMSTONE: Emerald [May]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Xavier Tosell, Quintus 'Quin' Damiani
CRUSH: N/A
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: Stanford 'Stan' Gibbs, Kaitlyn 'Lyn' Rey (rival), Jarvis Webster
PERSONALITY: Miriama is a determined girl from a Maori family background, which has shaped her into becoming very responsible and comfortable with large groups of people. She's very into sports and is the best in the Mystic group when it comes to fitness and stamina. Miriama is aiming to be a professional basketballer and get into an awesome team over in America where she can truly make a living out of it. She's currently in the Tall Ferns, the national team of New Zealand, so she has been taking steps towards getting where she wants to be. Miriama is quite an accomplished individual who is great at taking care of others, but she isn't without her flaws. She tends to rush her decisions and act more on intuition and emotions than logic, and she can be very hot-headed and stubborn. This girl certainly won't take crap from others either and can be very blunt about it too, and she's able to see through others when they're being fake pretty well. She's not very easily distracted once she has a goal in mind, and is the type who will go to many lengths to achieve whatever it is she wishes to achieve. Miriama is one of the fiercest members of the group and is one of the quickest learners when it comes to fighting. Due to her upbringing, she's a decent cook and quite handy when it comes to DIY projects. She certainly captures the attention of Xavier and Quin when she's able to craft herself her own spear to fight with.

Stanford - one of The Mystic 13

REFERENCES:
Ocdoodles 287 by melondramatics
Stanford Gibbs by melondramatics - FULL BODY REFERENCE
Square Stanford by melondramatics - square icon
FULL NAME: Stanford William Gibbs
AGE: 22
BIRTHDAY: 17th March 2003
ETHNICITY: United Kingdom - British-Scottish mix
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: London, United Kingdom [Inverness; Scotland/UK]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: He's currently living off the UK's Jobseeker's Allowance
HEIGHT: 6'3"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: Unknown, gets criticised for this, but will get a contract that gives him access to more abilities...
MAIN WEAPON: a dagger, but his new contract means he doesn't use his dagger as much
GEMSTONE: Bloodstone [March]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Jarvis Webster
CRUSH: he has an interest in Miriama Wilson (a total love-hate dynamic)
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: Xavier Tosell, Miriama Wilson
PERSONALITY: Stanford is probably the most eccentric member of the Mystic group. He suffers from burns on part of his face and arm, which is the reason why he's grown out his bangs to cover part of his face. Despite this traumatic attack, Stanford never wants anyone to pity him. He prefers to be seen for who he really is than what he looks like, but being the guy he is, he doesn't make that easy. This guy wanted to get into the music industry and is a brilliant singer and guitar player, but due to the lack of success he's had, Stanford tended to waste his time with alcohol and has been developing a problem with it. The lack of success with his dreams has made him rather bitter, so he takes those feelings out by taunting those around him. He's easily the group's troll, quick-witted and coming across as all too self-important. This behaviour definitely gives others all sorts of opinions about him, but he's more intelligent than he lets on. Too bad the alcohol has dulled that intelligence a bit. Stanford is a fan of the occult and magic, finding fascination with anything dark and twisted. What really sets Stanford apart from the others is his lack of caring about others - he's a very selfish person, and very lazy. He's become a person who likes to get things the easy way. The less he has to do to get what he wants, the better.

FULL NAME: Holly Faulkner
AGE: 19
BIRTHDAY: 1st April 2006
ETHNICITY: American
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: New York City, America [same as hometown]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: she works at McDonalds
HEIGHT: 5'5"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: None really. Dies early and is therefore the first to get back to the real world
MAIN WEAPON: A one-handed short sword but later becomes Ivory's
GEMSTONE: Diamond [April]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Delilah Bailey
CRUSH: thought Quintus 'Quin' Damiani was really attractive
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: N/A
PERSONALITY: Holly is an incredibly soft-spoken girl, very sweet and has an enormous love for cooking and food. However, because of her appearance and inability to stand up for herself, Holly has been the subject of ridicule almost her entire life. She gets this from her family, peers at school and the media, especially after her appearance on The Mystic Show. She has low confidence in herself and doesn't like stepping out of her house due to all this. However, she is not without friends. Yaretzi has been consistently helping her out through her life as her best friend, and Tomoya is her other best friend. While Holly's not very fit at all and hates exercise, she's actually incredibly thoughtful and loves reading books and writing. She is actually rather addicted to fandoms and writing fanfiction, though it's an extreme guilty pleasure that only Yaretzi and Tomoya know about. Her food blogging is rather popular too! In the online world, Holly is so much more secure because people don't necessarily have to see her face. However, in 'The New Reality', she'll be forced to deal with the real world and its challenges on a whole new level.

Abel - one of The Mystic 13

REFERENCES:
Ocdoodles 289 by melondramatics
Abel Newport by melondramatics - FULL BODY REFERENCE
Square Abel by melondramatics - square icon
FULL NAME: Abel Tyrone Newport
AGE: 23
BIRTHDAY: 12th November 2001
ETHNICITY: African-American
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Port Townsend, America [same as hometown]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: he worked in the navy, his current occupation I won't say yet
HEIGHT: 6'4"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: Due to his navy/sailing experience, he's the captain of the ship - he learns some swordplay and is physically the strongest of the group, he's someone who definitely wants to be the main group leader
MAIN WEAPON: his physical strength makes him great for hand-to-hand combat/wrestling, and he has a one-handed cutlass sword
GEMSTONE: Topaz [November]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Imani and Ivory Peyton (acts like big brother figure), Jarvis Webster
CRUSH: Kaitlyn 'Lyn' Rey
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: Christmas 'Chris' Kranz (major hate going on here)
PERSONALITY: Abel is quite a macho, manly man with a strong sense of pride, especially since he has a lot of strength and experience. As the oldest of eight children, he is incredibly responsible and nurturing, especially over those who remind him of his family (Imani and Ivory especially). He's quite a mama bear, but he doesn't like to let too many know about that - he loves to present himself as strong, no-nonsense, super intimidating, a strong leader. The reality is he's the type of guy who jokes around like a complete dork and gets overly flustered around the girl he likes. He is very protective and watches over others, but he can respect the strengths and weaknesses in them too. Abel is very reliable overall, but he does have some terrible flaws. He's not the brightest guy, who relies more on intuition and feelings and his own physical strength above all else. He lacks logic and only lets few people criticise him. Abel hates to be seen as vulnerable and hates having his flaws picked at. When it comes to people he really dislikes, he can be very argumentative and continue to rub the other person the wrong way. As he's used to being a leader and being responsible for everyone else, he hates being told what to do by others (unless your name is Kaitlyn Rey, in which you have every say over what he does, lol).

Square Chris by melondramatics - square icon
FULL NAME: Christmas Noel Kranz
AGE: 21
BIRTHDAY: 25th December 2003
ETHNICITY: British-Dutch
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Amsterdam, Netherlands [Bath, United Kingdom]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: I don't want to reveal this yet uvu
HEIGHT: 6'0"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: He has leadership skills and wants to be the main group leader, he is also incredibly intelligent and is the group's navigator (he also learns knife throwing, and a bit of magic from Delilah)
MAIN WEAPON: throwing knives
GEMSTONE: Turquoise [December]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Kaitlyn 'Lyn' Rey, Delilah Bailey
CRUSH: Kaitlyn 'Lyn' Rey
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: Abel Newport (major hate going on here)
PERSONALITY: One important thing to know when getting along with Chris is to never speak of his real name. It's embarrassing to him, and he was just in the process of getting his name legally changed when he got thrown into The Mystic. Of course. In any case, Chris is an intellectual gentleman on the whole. He is fancy, from a wealthy background, and is projected as someone who will be incredibly successful in future. Chris was student president back at high school and awarded the honour of being the top student at his school, which was one of the best schools in Amsterdam. When around like-minded people, Chris displays an amazing amount of charisma, but towards everyone else, he acts like he's better than them. He works at his best when he gets to run everything this way, which naturally puts him in conflict with Abel. Chris develops strong feelings for Kaitlyn, finding her to be quirky yet beautiful nonetheless. While he's trying to claim his spot as 'King' of the Mystic 13 and lead everyone on their journey, he'd love to have Kaitlyn as his 'Queen'. Chris is rather self-entitled and determined to be the 'success story' of this adventure, but he guards a secret that he feels will ruin him.

FULL NAME: Oliver Loan
AGE: 18
BIRTHDAY: 13th January 2007
ETHNICITY: New Zealand-European
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Havelock North, New Zealand [Napier, New Zealand]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: Student
HEIGHT: 5'2"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: He's extremely good at parkour, and learns how to fight with two axes (one in each hand)
MAIN WEAPON: the two axes, and he can fight with both in combat
GEMSTONE: Garnet [January]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Delilah Bailey
CRUSH: develops strong feelings towards Delilah Bailey
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: ...everyone else, he doesn't really like socialising with the others much and avoids it whenever possible
PERSONALITY: Oliver is the possible definition of a lone wolf. At least, that's the way he's been throughout his life. Oliver comes from an incredibly poor background and was subject to a lot of bullying - particularly over his wealth, his name (for sounding like 'I live alone') and the fact that he's always been the shortest guy amongst his peers. However, because of this, Oliver has learned over the years how to counter it physically. He's super tough and known to have beaten up people practically twice his size because they tried picking on him. Oliver has mastered parkour and is very speedy - he's a bit of a pint-sized fighting machine. He prefers to be by himself and doesn't care about not having any friends. Despite this, when he does find someone he cares about, he becomes over-protective and clingy - mostly out of fear of losing them. He may prefer to be by himself, but he's also very much starved for love in this world. Oliver is short-tempered and because he skipped out on school a lot, he's not the brightest crayon in the box. He speaks volumes with his actions rather than his words. When he has a goal though, he's very stubborn and will stop at nothing until he achieves it.

FULL NAME: Delilah Rowan Shea Talulla Aisling Concepta Bailey (note: inspired by irl friend with many middle names)
AGE: 18
BIRTHDAY: 13th August 2006
ETHNICITY: Irish
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Dublin, Ireland [same as hometown]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: dropped out of high school early; currently a waitress at her local pub
HEIGHT: 5'4"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: She becomes a mage who's particularly good with healing magic, defensive magic and paralysis magic - her staff is a decent weapon for clobbering and blocking close-up attacks too
MAIN WEAPON: her mage staff
GEMSTONE: Peridot [August]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Christmas 'Chris' Kranz, Oliver Loan, was becoming close to Holly Faulkner before Holly died
CRUSH: might reciprocate Oliver's feelings later on??
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: N/A, like Quin, she gets along with everyone in the group
PERSONALITY: Delilah is a complete sweetheart who can often be caught daydreaming. She's a bit of an airhead, which isn't helped by the fact she's dyslexic as well, and thus had trouble learning in school. Delilah loves art and dropped out of high school early to try and get into art college. Things didn't go too well and so she was stuck having to get a lowerclass job instead of pursuing her dreams. Nonetheless, Delilah is a patient and understanding girl who is generally good at getting along with others. Despite her sweet exterior, she is still impulsive and a massive risk-taker, which often leads her into trouble. She is often a voice of reason though, and great company if you want some peace. She's very supportive of others and has a tendency to put others first, especially since the times she put herself first had often ended up in some kind of failure. Delilah is very feminine and comes across as a pushover, but she's actually very strongwilled - she can stand her ground when she feels she must, and is the kind of person who shouldn't be underestimated. Unfortunately, almost everyone underestimates her, including herself. She's a girl with untapped potential who has made bad decisions and dealt with a lot of bad luck in her life, but her imagination and dreams of the future help keep her going.

FULL NAME: Kaitlyn Georgia Rey
AGE: 19
BIRTHDAY: 14th February 2006
ETHNICITY: Australian
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Sydney, Australia [Melbourne, Australia]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: I don't want to reveal this yet either~ =v=
HEIGHT: 5'6"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: Her beauty and charm aid her well with the art of manipulation, and she's very influential on both Abel and Chris, and she learns knife throwing as well (she attempts swordplay and archery and dislikes both forms of combat)
MAIN WEAPON: throwing knives and a dagger
GEMSTONE: Amethyst [February]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Christmas 'Chris' Kranz
CRUSH: she doesn't really have a crush and enjoys flirting, especially with Quintus 'Quin' Damiani, Abel Newport and Christmas 'Chris' Kranz (she loves that both Abel and Chris have major crushes on her and that part of their rivalry is over her, sigh)
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: Miriama Wilson (rival), Jarvis Webster
PERSONALITY: Kaitlyn is from one of the richest families in Australia and has lived the life of a socialite who's good at getting what she wants. Manipulation is her strength, as is her physical appearance, which captures the interests of others very easily. She isn't as strong as the others physically, but her other qualities more than make up for it. To the world though, Kaitlyn comes across as a blonde bimbo who is very charming with the males. She likes to have the world at her feet, and she knows how. Kaitlyn is very superficial and quick to judge others, and she often finds that she ends up with more male friends than female friends. She is also easily judged by others and many don't even bother to get to know the real her and know her insecurities and so on, only seeing a selfish pretty face. Of the Mystic 13, Kaitlyn is definitely someone to keep an eye on.

FULL NAMES: Imani Kyra Peyton and Ivory Krista Peyton
AGES: 16
BIRTHDAY: 2nd June 2009
ETHNICITY: African-American
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Miami, America [same as hometown]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: Students
HEIGHTS: 5'3"
MAIN ROLES IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: They're the weakest and often need defending at first, but Imani learns a bit of archery and Ivory learns a bit of swordplay
MAIN WEAPON/S:  for Imani it's her bow and arrows, for Ivory it's a one handed short-sword
GEMSTONE: Pearl [June]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: they both get along great with Abel Newport, who becomes very protective of them
CRUSH: Imani has a massive crush on Quintus 'Quin' Damiani (who doesn't feel the same way), meanwhile Ivory has a bit of a love-hate crush on Jarvis that she prefers denying than admitting to
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: they both don't get on very well with Jarvis Webster, though Ivory's case with him becomes more (and for her, frustratingly so) complicated
PERSONALITY: At first, the twins seem to be two peas in a pod. Queens of gossip, seemingly immature, sassy, mischievous and act like divas. It's tough to tell them apart and they have a lot of fun with it. They're very in-sync with one another and can finish each other's sentences. But as you get to know them, you'll discover more differences. The truth is that Ivory leads the two and what both twins present is all Ivory. Imani on the other hand, is the overshadowed sister who goes along with what her sister does. She's actually far less shallow, very intelligent and loves reading books. Ivory on the other hand has dreams of stardom and is way more confident and projects herself, and she generally expects Imani to follow her with everything. Ivory loves the idea of both her and her sister becoming famous twins, while Imani isn't so sure. Ivory is very boy-crazy as well - so she's rather jealous of the attention Kaitlyn gets. Meanwhile Imani falls for Quin, because he encourages her to be herself more instead of living in Ivory's shadow.

HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: Washington DC, America [Bath, United Kingdom]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: Student
HEIGHT: 5'7"
MAIN ROLE IN THE MYSTIC GROUP: He's got the best eyesight and is the best at sneaking around and spying without being noticed, he's the best at quick, silent kills and wields a dagger - he's also handy with darts
MAIN WEAPON: A dagger and darts
GEMSTONE: Opal [October]
BEST FRIENDS IN THE MYSTIC: Stanford 'Stan' Gibbs, Abel Newport
CRUSH: he especially likes both Imani and Ivory Peyton, but he finds all of the girls very attractive
DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH: ...most of the group. He's kind of a perverted asshole who tends to either get on with others strongly, or is forever at odds with them.
PERSONALITY: He's an online sensation if you bother logging onto VidZoo (TNR equivalent of Youtube, lmao) to watch his channel regarding video games and TV shows. He is a massive critic and posts loads of video game walkthroughs with added commentary and whatnot. His channel appeals more with likeminded nerds though, and unfortunately he's kind of a sexist asshole. Thank goodness he still has some years to mature and get his act together. At the moment though, he thinks he is the coolest guy to walk the earth, the best gamer, and panties will be dropping for him in future. He wishes. He's obnoxious, which is probably why he and Stanford get along SO DAMN WELL. Jarvis is quite a spoiled, closed off guy though, which is why he has a lot less common sense than most. Despite all these negatives, Jarvis is actually a keen strategist - what keeps him around with the others are his talents, not his personality, really.

REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: Currently doing volunteer work in Cambodia
HEIGHT: 5'8"
MAIN ROLE IN THE REAL WORLD: She is one of Holly's best friends and is incredibly tough and doesn't take crap from anyone, she defends Holly incredibly well and helps her confidence
PERSONALITY: Yaretzi is one of the toughest girls you'll ever meet. She's adventurous, streetsmart and will kick your ass if you dare hurt her friends. Yaretzi is an older sister type who will do anything for those she cares about, but she's also a role model, someone who is able to inspire others. She is very dear to Holly, and vice versa. She believed in Holly before anyone else ever did, and is ultimately the person who has helped her the worst. When 'The Mystic Show' first airs, Yaretzi is off working in Cambodia, but once she hears about Holly's situation, she immediately flies back to America to help her out. She's super selfless and loyal, but she's hella expressive and dramatic too. Do NOT cross her, you will most likely lose, even if you're someone like Abel or even Oliver. Tough as nails, but the coolest friend you can ever ask for.

FULL NAME: Tomoya Sakurai
AGE: 19
BIRTHDAY: 28th March 2006
ETHNICITY: Japanese
HOMETOWN, COUNTRY [BIRTHPLACE]: New York City, America [Kyoto, Japan]
REAL LIFE OCCUPATION: has a scholarship and currently studying Media Studies and Computer Science at university
HEIGHT: 5'6"
MAIN ROLE IN THE REAL WORLD: He's got a huge online social network and is very geeky and smart - he's Holly's other best friend and is very observant of the media, and more influential in it than one might initially realise...
PERSONALITY: Tomoya is a social recluse most of the time, only going outside because damn, he does actually have to attend classes and exams in person. While he's rather antisocial in real life, his social life on the internet is absolutely booming. He has multiple accounts that he manages on many different websites, and he's expanding further and further with the concepts of virtual reality. Tomoya is a brilliant researcher and an awesome hacker, though the latter might not be the right sort of thing to celebrate. Nonetheless, he too saw something special about Holly, thus why he became her friend. Tomoya is incredibly geeky and smart and tends to dress like a boy lolita, so he has a problem with otakus jumping him from time to time. The irony is he's 100% not a fan of anime/manga. Overall though, Tomoya's someone to keep an eye on. His skills with technology and his wide online network are super important to the overall plot.

IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS IN THE STORY


I added this, just to give an idea of how each character in the Mystic 13 feel about one another. The 13 is the core travelling group, and so naturally they're all going to develop opinions, ahaha. As you can see, not everyone likes each other! You can also see some ??????? in there, which means the status is more ambiguous for whatever reason.

Countries in the Mystic


The Mystic is made up of various islands based off of real life countries/historical periods/cultures. Each country has its own race, all of which are humanoids - like humans, but with strange features that show them not to be completely human. These are the main countries: 

Arcus [pronounced AR-KUS]

Leader: Emperor Vinicius
Main Race: Arcusians
Basic Description: Arcus is a powerful nation, made of many islands that are joined by natural arches, hence its name. Because of the style of Arcus’ land and the genetic make-up of the Arcusians, it is incredibly difficult to invade – invaders can be attacked by the Arcusians from above. The port towns are actually within the islands and one must sail under various arches to reach the lowest towns. The higher up on the arches you go, the more nobility you will find and the more magnificent the architecture is. Arcus is famous for its architecture, and also for its art and wine – and of course, the Annual Tourney Arena. Arcus enjoys good relations with the Harmonie-Sonrisa Union, and also owns most of Deshret.
Throughout Arcus, the nature of the people is very similar. They are very chatty, noisy, flirtatious and vain – but they are indeed very gorgeous! All Arcusians tend to be very easy going and often take siestas during the hottest parts of the day – the higher up in Arcus, the hotter it gets, so the nobles are often very lazy. Arcusians tend to have olive skin, reddish brown-dark hair, green eyes, and the women have great curves – on the whole an attractive race. What sets Arcusians apart are their white wings, which they use to fly around Arcus.

Bharat - [taken over by Gloan] [pronounced BAH-RAHT]

Leader: Emperor Amis
Main Race: Bharata
Basic Description: Bharat is a nation that carries a high population density, with perhaps too much of a gap between the rich and the poor. It is a merchant nation that is popular for its cuisine, spices, music and jewellery – and it is famous for its temples and overall culture. Bharat is very vibrant and busy and holds great relations with Perlas, but ties have been strained ever since Gloan got involved. Gloan has become very controlling over Bharat, which has had a mixed response from the majority population. The previous Emperor Arjuna was killed and has since been replaced by a Homavi who married Arjuna’s eldest daughter [famous beauty named Malini] as part of sealing his rule upon the nation.
The Bharata are a very tricky race to deal with – it’s so busy and it’s very common for foreigners to get tricked/ripped off/etc. They’re very much out for themselves and there’s strong gender inequality. Bharata are strong with flattery though and they like to show off a lot, but despite all this they can be very spiritual. They’re very particular with their beliefs and they love converting foreigners to their way of life – which is exactly why Gloan’s colonisation has thrown them off a lot. They love converting others, but they hate being converted. Bharata are known for their reserved but colourful clothing, the ability to withstand both heat and rain, the ability to climb with great skill, their varying shades of brown skin and raven black hair – and their most distinctive features are their monkey-like tails. It is also quite common for the nobles to adorn themselves with ornamental horns.

Deshret - [taken over mostly by Arcus] [pronounced DESH-RETT]

Leader: [Pharaoh] Queen Nefertari
Main Race: the Deshret
Basic Description: Possibly the oldest of the nations in The Mystic, Deshret is also one of the most ominous. It is a large desert wasteland, in which sandstorms are common, as is death from dehydration after getting lost. Despite this, Deshret has a unique culture, architecture and artefacts that have inspired the Arcus. In fact, Emperor Vinicius and Queen Nefertari are lovers, with Arcus and Deshret sharing strong relations. However, Gloan has been slowly trying to take over, stealing many of Deshret’s treasures and refusing to return them to their rightful place.
The Deshret race are one of the most unique in that they can take two different forms, one of which is a jackal. In their jackal form, the Deshret can communicate with the dead and successfully navigate the desert wastelands. In their other form, they look more human – though they retain jackal-like ears and claws on their hands and feet, also they have pointier noses. They have a great agility and heightened senses, moreso than any of the other races in The Mystic. The Deshret are loyal to those they like, but on the whole are very quiet, and when they do speak, it is usually for either business purposes or to shut down conversation using negative topics. Nefertari herself is probably among the chattiest you get throughout the entire Deshret race.

Gloan [pronounced GLOW-AN]

Leader: King Wymond
Main Race: Homavi [plural: Homaves]
Basic Description: Located towards the West of the Mystic, Gloan is a great nation mostly focused on its military and agriculture, building up its riches through colonisation and trade. Gloan has great relations with Nóregr and Teutonia, but is forever at odds with Harmonie-Sonrisa. Gloan has a partial hold on Deshret, as well as Bharat. What this country is known for aside from its power is its extensive farmland, dull weather, strong castles and many, many villages. There are also many strange creatures about this land, and it’s rather common for the nobility to own unicorns. There’s said to be many dragons, and the farm-creatures are very peculiar – there’s also a colony of centaurs who hate the Homaves, who are the race that dominate Gloan.
The Homavi nobles see themselves to be regal and godly, but in reality are arrogant and easily offended by just about anything – they make for terrible company. The nobility tend to be fair skinned and have teal eyes, with the females being tall and lean with beautiful long hair, and the males being shorter, more plump and often wearing fancy wigs. The rest of the Homavi are very, very freckled with brown eyes, very messy hair and strong bodies for the military/farm-work. They can be very foul-mouthed, but also love to party and have a good time. In general, what defines a Homavi from all other races in the Mystic are their incredibly peculiar ears, which almost look like little wings on their heads, and their faces otherwise looking halfway between a human and a bird.

Guatavita - [surface taken over by Sonrisa] [pronounced GWA-TA-VEE-TA]

Leader: Chía
Main Race: Doras
Basic Description: Guatavita is perhaps one of the most mysterious countries in the Mystic. Its surface is a thick, tropical rainforest, which is slowly getting torn down due to all the arrivals of Risas [from Sonrisa]. What Risas have yet to discover is the rumoured ‘Doras’, which are the race that’s said to live on Guatavita. This is because the Doras live in a society that is completely underground – and they rarely ever come to the surface, they’ve never needed it. The underground society is mostly lit up by glowing jewels and contains many levels – a curious fact is that there is a waterfall and lake inside the Doras society, and the plants above the land regularly deposit fruit and nutrients right down to the underground. This is because the Doras take care of the roots in the earth. 
The Doras are unique in that their sight is very poor, but their hearing, smell, taste and touch are incredibly strong. This is because they live in an incredibly dark place and have since come to not rely heavily on sight – bright light will blind them completely, and seeing it is agonising – that’s why they have a preference for the glowing jewels scattered around the walls. It provides them with a joy of colour, without being overwhelming. Appearance wise, not many get to properly see their physical forms, but the Doras have multiple jewels naturally embedded onto their skin in unique patterns. They do not wear clothing, and their naked form is actually the closest to being ‘human’, aside from the jewels.

[the Kingdom of] Harmonie-Sonrisa [pronounced HAR-MON-NEE SUN-REE-SAH]

Leader/s: King Ulrich and Queen Reina
Main Race/s: Harmon[s], Risa[s]
Basic Description: Harmonie and Sonrisa used to be separate nations that bordered one another, until the union of King Ulrich and Queen Reina, the respective rulers of each place. Harmons are considered to be among the wealthiest of the different races, and are also stereotyped to speak whimsically and have the most arrogant attitudes of all. While it can't be said of all Harmons, it is quite common. Harmonie seems more interested in being super strong and military based, as well as promoting an enriched culture, while Sonrisa is their main source of agriculture (and the actual strength, but don't let a Harmon hear you say that!). Harmonie-Sonrisa is determined to become one of the strongest empires in the Mystic, and often has tensions with Gloan because of this.
Risas are fascinating in that they appear to be a unique blend of Harmon and Arcusian characteristics. They possess the attractive bodies and faces of the Arcusians, the pale skin and blue eyes of the Harmons, small wings like the Arcusians (though they cannot fly) and the extreme tendency to stir up lots of drama like the Harmons. Harmons have a more snooty appearance and are notable for their oversensitivity and dramas - it is common for them to have pale skin, blue eyes, a slightly up-turned nose and a great deal of fluff around their necks. They're almost a bit like a human poodle, really.

Huaxia [Dynasty] [pronounced HWAH-ZHIA]

Leader: Emperor Yu
Main Race: Huaren
Basic Description: Possibly the most powerful in The Mystic - it is the country in which the famed 'World Portal' can be found, not that it can be used by just anyone. Gloan believes that Huaxia has bad intentions with this portal, but nobody truly knows - it depends whether you trust King Wymond or Emperor Yu more... or neither. In any case, Huaxia is very old, and has taken over a good chunk of the land in the eastern Mystic. What makes this part of the world so curious is the races themselves - the Huaren are also known as the 'race of Dragons'. Their appearances are half-human and half-dragon, but it's said that the royal family are 100% dragon-form. Nobody likes to tap too deeply into the original of the Huaren and their own evolution, though there are theories as to how the half-human side came about...
In any case, Huaxia is a land with a lot going on. There are many different perceptions of this place, not all pleasant either -- but many do like to try and visit it to see the historical sites, trying the unique cuisine... and try avoid becoming the cuisine themselves. Huaren tend to like to execute criminals by eating them alive, and it's not unheard of for them to frame innocents just to get a huge feast out of it all. This doesn't happen as much these days, but it's best to be cautious when visiting.

Mafana - [taken over mostly by Harmonie]

Leader: King Narcisse
Main Race: Mafanans
Basic Description: Most of the peoples have been conquered by King Ulrich's cousin Narcisse, but there is still a lot of untamed land for him to go through. It is similar to Guatavita in having lots of forest, but the wildlife on Mafana is so much more. There is no hidden underground, but there are hidden surface paradises still left to be found/taken over. Narcisse is determined to take it all, but the Mafanans are very tough. In terms of navigating forests, they are absolute pros above all - and for non-Mafanans, the forests are considered highly dangerous. That is why full colonisation has been tough; there are still areas yet to be converted in 'Harmonie soils'.
Mafanans used to be incredibly fun-loving types, but the arrival of Harmons have made them more hostile and distrusting of strangers. If you gain their trust, you can enjoy a lot of privileges within their society. Mafanans are very bright-eyed and active, often with a companion creature that resembles a bat-lemur. Another interesting note is that Mafanans seem to thrive most in the night - they're actually much easier to communicate with then, because if you try to interact during the day when they want to sleep, they'll assume you're trying to attack them. What also distinguishes a Mafanan is that they're darker than any other race, with amazing curly hair, and will switch between being on two legs or all-fours. 

Nóregr [pronounced NOR-REH-GEER]

Leader: King Ragnvaldr
Main Race: the Kriger
Basic Description: This country is unique in that it is always on the move - you can never truly spot the main section of it on the map. That's because it's situated entirely underwater, with the main city constantly moving with the currents. Most of the time it is circling Sikkussaq, but if King Ragnvaldr feels inclined, he can bring his lands anywhere he likes. One way to think of the Kriger is that most, if not all, are like the vikings of the sea, both males and females. They are incredibly strong swimmers, who can handle breathing in the sea just as well as land. This underwater city is made up of giant bubbles, meaning that anyone could visit the city and breathe easy... well, that's if the Kriger let them live after they enter.
The Kriger are said to be very intense, especially when it comes to fighting, their morals and folklore. It is all serious and it is all true - and don't you dare tell them otherwise. However, once you get past all that, they are much happier than they seem. The Kriger are useful allies, so many of the other countries in The Mystic are incredibly keen on sealing an alliance with Nóregr. While places like Gloan and Teutonia have managed to get along with Nóregr, King Ragnvaldr has yet to truly decide on the right ally. Perhaps the current indecision is just another tactic.

[Las Islas] Perlas - [currently being taken over by Sonrisa]

Leader: Queen Urduja
Main Race: the Bulaklak, though outsiders refer to them as the Perlasi
Basic Description: Perlas is a fantastic looking place on the map - an archipelago in which it looks like a giant flower, with the surrounding islands looking like petals. Because the petal-islands are so close too, it's difficult to sail big ships between islands. Sonrisa has currently taken over the outer-islands with ease, but has been having trouble getting to the core of Perlas, in which the royal family still dominate. Queen Urduja is a tough cookie too, known as a Warrior Princess-turned-Queen, who will not marry any suitors.
The Bulaklak are considered the most fascinating of the races to observe, if only for the fact that plants are growing all over their bodies. They are literally covered in all sorts of things, depending on the family and part of Perlas you are from. This could be fruit, berries, thorns, grass, flowers, wood, vines, leaves and more. Interestingly enough, Bulaklak don't really eat meat much either - if they do, it's mostly insects and other small things, despite their thorny-looking teeth. It's said that Bulaklak can't stomach tough meat of large animals, that's why.

Rusichi [pronounced RUSS-SEE-CHYEH]

Leader: Tsar Grigori
Main Race: Shadowlings / Rusichians [RUSS-SEE-CHYENS]
Basic Description: At first look, Rusichi seems like a brightly coloured wonderland. It's sometimes dubbed the 'Playground of the Mystic' for the play equipment blended in with the great big architecture and the abundance of the Shadowlings. Rusichi is the only country in the Mystic located completely in the sky, so only those with flying capabilities (be it Arcusians, or someone with a large winged companion) are able to reach this place. How Rusichi looks will depend on your age - if you are 17 or below, you will think of the race as the Rusichians, but if you're 18 or older, you will understand why they are referred to as the Shadowlings. They are a very curious race, as everyone looks as though they belong to all these other races around the Mystic.
The Rusichians are all children in appearance, but many can actually live to be just as old as those from Huaxia - they just don't look it. A child who looks ten could actually be as old as 150 years of age. They are wiser than they look, but still incredibly playful. The mindset seems very innocent, as do the Rusichians and the country they live in. When young outsiders visit Rusichi, they are often invited to come and play with the locals - and they get very sad if outsiders try to leave again. Now, about the Shadowlings, they are basically the Rusichians. The difference is that for some reason, if you're 18 or above, you can see the giant shadows attached to the bodies of the children, using them as their own puppets to control. The shadows are very tall and thin and have just one bright eye, which they are constantly watching older outsiders with. The shadows are a mystery, but it's enough to make Rusichi an incredibly unappealing place to visit, despite how much fun the Rusichians seem to have there.

Sikkussaq - [belongs to Nóregr] [pronounced SEE-KYUU-SAK]

Leader: ---- no specific leader.
Main Race: the Fiskere
Basic Description: Sikkussaq is an icy wasteland that's starting to break up into shards. There is no sense of true unity, as the Fiskere are just small communities scattered around Sikkussaq. They've been forced to bow down and supply resources to the Kriger, who are their main points of contact. It's said that around the Sikkussaq are the best animal furs, the best fish, and some of the rarest resources in the Mystic. However, with the rarest resources, you'd need to be considered a friend of the Fiskere or a member of the Kriger to gain access to them.
The Fiskere are an interesting cross between the Kriger and seals - they're very thick-skinned and afe considered very slow on land, but they're much tougher underwater. For their fishing, they actually go diving. The Fiskere are generally quite a peaceful race who lead quite a simple, traditional life, but the arrival of the Kriger from Nóregr has changed things up a lot. Power structures in the Fiskere society are starting to become corrupted, especially as this leaderless race is now being pressured to unite all the communities under one.

Teutonia [pronounced TEW-TOE-NEE-A]

Leader: King Sigmund
Main Race: Teutonians
Basic Description: The mysterious thing about this race is that very, very few outside Teutonia has ever witnessed what they look like without their armour on. There are many theories, but even the youngest members of this race are quickly bundled up into some form chainmail. It's often known as the 'race of knights', which is essentially the truth. Teutonians are very orderly and don't seem to celebrate difference much, and are more focused on wealth and power. They're incredibly intelligent and seem to have secured a lot of solid relations. Like Nóregr, Teutonia is often considered a great ally to have. Unlike Nóregr though, Teutonia seems to be playing all the different sides and is being incredibly underhanded in regards to the different countries. Not that many can truly complain, considering Teutonia is wealthy, their army is one of the strongest, and they have plenty of desired resources.

Useful Terminology


Anti-Mystics

This is a group that's started up that is against the idea of 'The Mystic Show' and protests the broadcasting of it. They want the show taken off the air, but it seems they've had very little in ways of success with that.

Character Channels

There are 13 focus characters in 'The Mystic', and in order to get the perspective of your favourite, you can pick a 'character channel' and watch 'The Mystic Show' from their perspective. If you want to focus on say, Xavier, you can go on the Xavier Channel and focus on his actions and interactions in particular. These channels run 24/7. When a character dies in the show, that channel is then removed from The Mystic Network. Part of the purpose of the 'Character Channels' is to see which of the Mystic 13 are drawing in the most viewers - and it's interesting to note who people shift towards once their first choice is 'dead'.

Crystebbles

This appears to be the main currency in 'The Mystic'. Interestingly enough, all of the countries appear to use it, except for the Doras who are already cut off from the others as it is. Crystebbles seem to be pebble sized crystals - the weight of them will determine how much they're worth.

Edited Edition

This is the version of the show that gets played only a couple times a week. It is a condensed version of events in the show for those viewers that can't be bothered watching the 24/7 version. Interestingly, there are viewers who like to watch both 'Full' and 'Edited' and compare the editing with the entire scenes. Edited Editions can vary in length, depending on the amount of significant events that week.

Full Edition

that's the version of the show that focuses on the group with the most cast members present. If characters split away and viewers want to see them, they'll have to look to the 'Character Channels' to see what that character is up to.

Gemstones

It seems that each of the Mystic 13 are associated with a 'birth' stone. There may be 12 months and 13 members, but as Imani and Ivory are twins, it's still 12 different types of stones. These gemstones seem to be the key to activating the World Portal, but they seem to possess some other powers that the Mystic 13 are going to learn more and more about.

July 25th 2025

This is the airdate of 'The Mystic Show' in the United States of America. It is the first date of showing this TV show to the world, and it is when the story essentially begins for the characters.

The Mystic

This is the name of the fantasy world that the main 13 characters have been trapped in. They must travel around the countries within the Mystic. It has different races, cultures, creatures and so much more that set it apart from the real world. It has been designed to feel like a real place despite all its fantasy elements, allowing those trapped within to believe that this world they're in is real.

The Mystic Network

This is the company behind 'The Mystic Show'. They created The Mystic and are behind capturing the Mystic 13 and putting them into this virtual world. They have created multiple channels based around this one show, but have allowed the Edited Edition to be viewed on other popular channels around the world. The location of the Mystic Network appears to be a mystery though, at least to the general public. 

The Mystic Show

This is the huge new reality show, the first ever 'Fantasy Reality Show'. It is about 13 teenagers/young adults who are on a quest through this fantasy land to get back to their home world. These people have no idea that this world is fake and that the world is watching them. It is revolutionary for many reasons: the breakthrough in virtual world technology, the first reality show to have separate channels for different perspectives, the first show going on 24/7, the first reality show where no one knows they're being filmed all the time, etc.

The Reyne Chain

A chain of luxurious hotels that have been spreading worldwide. The origin of the first Reyne Hotel is in Sydney, Australia, but they've since spread to other parts of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, parts of Southeast Asia, America, Canada and the United Kingdom. It's said they're working in co-operation with The Mystic Network - how so is the question.

Scrollog

This is essentially the 'tumblr' of this universe. You make posts, you can like, dislike, reblog, etc. It combines the words 'scroll' and 'blog', and its mascot seems to be a tree log. The creator of the website is Corynn Rivers, who is said to be a big fan of 'The Mystic Show'.

The World Portal

This seems to be a magical tablet that needs to be activated in order to create a portal between worlds. It's said that the right gemstones are the key to making this portal work. The World Portal is apparently located in Huaxia.



What if I want to make OCs for this project?


What if I want to make OCs for this project?Sure! Just know that I'm NOT accepting new characters for 'The Mystic Show'. My reality TV show cast is set: Xavier, Quin, Miriama, Stanford, Holly, Abel, Chris, Oliver, Delilah, Kaitlyn, Imani, Ivory and Jarvis. However, there are characters I still want...
If you want to make an OC, they'd have to fit under a certain 'category', I suppose? And if I really like the character, I may ask to adopt them for the project as official characters. So be prepared for that. Now, in terms of family, I've sussed out those characters for the majority. uvu
These are characters I'd like to see:
- I want some character ideas for characters rooming with Quin in Los Angeles. At least two, and for one of them to be a total party animal type--//raughs
- characters who are in the Tall Ferns, which is the national women's basketball team for NZ - they would be teammates of Miriama's
- characters who were in the navy with Abel
- a younger sister to Stanford - someone who also enjoys dyeing her hair crazy col
