When you die, you go to Star Haven. Star Haven is quite literally a haven in the stars. You lose the power you received when you were born. You have no family unless they’ve already died. You have no power – literal or physical. Basically, it’s like life on Earth, except you’re dead. Star Haven is ruled by the ‘Zodiacs’. That’s not their real titles, but it’s what everyone calls them. Every 100 years, 40 teens are ‘chosen’ to be the next Zodiacs. Over the course of 4 months and 4 trials. Then they are narrowed down to 2 teens, who then go on to be a Zodiac.
This takes place in 3492, just before the last trial, the Song Trial. There’s 10 people left, and our characters are two of them. They are in love.
If someone joins, I’ll post a template.
(now are you just saying it's interesting or do you want to join?)
( yes yes I'd like to join )
(and you're not gonna like not post your character like in 'If Tears Left Scars'?)
( Did I say I would join that? )
(kinda……)
RULES
-NO DEVELOPS, ESPECIALLY ON PERSONALITY.
-Please no links (unless described after). Proper descriptions like: Mid length dark brown hair with a few lighter highlights; Blue eyes with a splash of amber that make them look like paint has been dropped on them, not shaggy brown hair, green eyes, pale skin. Be descriptive. This also applies for style, however it does not have to be as descriptive.
-PROPER GRAMMAR IS COMPULSORY AND NOT AN OPTION.
-Only humans.
-In the future so you can use new technology.
Uh so also, when they are ‘chosen’, they get like this marking on their face that is distinct to one person, and their hair changes colour. The markings are different sizes and colours. The bigger the marking, the bigger the chance that they will become one of the two new Zodiacs. They also receive an item when they first arrive in the Zodiac Gardens of Star Haven.
On top of these things, they get a 'spirit animal' that will appear when they are needed most. The 'spirit animal' is the one thing they get to keep.
If they fail a trial, their marking disappears and their hair returns to normal. Their item is also taken away from them.

Style: Style: She doesn’t have a set style. It’s always different from day to day life. One day she might be wearing heeled boots and a leather jacket, the next a sundress and flats. However, she does always wear the locket that her grandmother gave her for her 8th birthday, shortly before she died (https://www.beaverbrooks.co.uk/0007786/Silver-Rose-Gold-Plated-Heart-Locket-Pendant/p). She also wears her mother’s old bracelet (https://www.brighton.com/photos/product/giant/369560S160563/-/size-os.jpg).
Personality: Kind, energetic, upbeat, excitable

Background: Mia’s the second eldest child of 5. She is (unfortunately) the only girl. All of her brothers are extremely protective of her even though she’s older than most of them. There’s Damian (19), her twin Nathaniel “Nate” who is a few minutes younger than her (17), Markus (14) and Richard “Richie” (11).
Mia’s relationship with her mother was extremely close, Sienna being the only other female in a house of 5 boys. Mia and Sienna used to always watch old movies and eat popcorn. They’re many of her best memories. One night about 2 years ago, Sienna was bringing Nate home from soccer practice for family dinner. Unfortunately, Sienna and Nate were caught in a car crash. Neither of them made it. Mia was so upset about it that she couldn’t be consoled for 3 months. Watching old movies makes her feel like her mother is still with her. Her brothers and dad think that she’s weird for loving them so much, but know how they make her feel, so they leave her alone.
'Spirit Animal': A vixen (female fox) named Vixenne. Vixenne is extremely loyal to Mia and often visits more than she should.
Power: Mind control. Over the years, she has gotten stronger and can put thoughts into other people’s minds without saying it out loud. She used to never be able to touch people, as she could see one of their memories that shouldn’t have been seen. She can touch people without seeing their memories now. She only does it if they wish her too or if she needs to show them something. If she’s stressed she can do it by accident though.
Favourite songs: Only Love – Jordan Smith (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6DPyiE5e3M), This Is Me – Keala Settle, The Greatest Showman Ensemble (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjxugyZCfuw)

Tal and Mia lay on a hill near Mia's house, looking at the stars. Mia's head was on Tal's stomach, and they were clutching hands. Mia finally got the courage to ask the question that had been on her mind since they started dating. "Hey Tal? What would you do if I became a Zodiac and you didn't?"
Tal squeezed Mia's hand a little tighter. "Well, I don't know. I would feel sad I wouldn't get to be with you, but I'd be proud of you for what you'd have accomplished. It would be bitter sweet, for sure. But I'd still love you, I'll always love you." he reassured. "What about you?" he asked, his voice soft.
"If it was me and not you, I'd refuse to take the position. I wouldn't want to be away from you. If it was you and not me, I'd commit suicide so that you could at least visit me in Star Haven."
Tal sat up instantly. "Whoa Mia. You can't just refuse an opportunity like this if it happens. This is one of the greatest positions you could ever receive!" he explained. Then he grabbed both her hands and ran his thumbs over her knuckles. "If you receive it you have to take it, okay? Promise me." he demanded.
Mia sat up and stared at her boyfriend. "You know how I feel about promises. My dad promises that he'll always be there for me but then he never is. My brothers promise me that they'll watch old movies with me to ease the pain about mum and Nate, but they never do. Mum and Nate promised they'd be home for dinner after soccer practice two years ago and they never came home."
Tal sighed and fully grasped her hands. "Mia." he whispered. "I know. And I'm sorry, I should not have said that. But this is big, and I have to know that you'll accept what fate has given to you."
"I-I-I," Mia stuttered. As if a saving grace, Mia's ring started glowing red and Tal's bracelet blue. This meant that the Song Trial was about to begin. Mia tapped her ring and was transported up to the Zodiac Gardens.
Tal sighed and tapped his bracelet, appearing beside Mia in the garden. ( Thats whats supposed to happen right? )
(yes. And I'll reply later cause it's gonna be long and easier on my laptop)
(sorry i took so long, i kinda forgot)
"Welcome, everyone!" Zodiac Damian called.
"If you're here to compete, you've made it a long way!" Zodiac Rosa added. "Please make way for Zodiac Elena, who will be explaining her experience of becoming a Zodiac, and Zodiac Isa, who will be explaining the Song Trial to you all!" Two Latina stepped forward, one older than the other.
"Hello," The older one said. "My name is Zodiac Elena, and this is my sister, Zodiac Isa. We were lucky to both be chosen to be a new Zodiac. I absolutely loved the experience, and I know my sister did too. I want to let you in on a secret. 300 years ago, I was ready to be Queen of my beloved kingdom Avalor. But then I was chosen as a Zodiac, and my willing to be Queen just left. It was amazing that both Isa and I would be Zodiacs, and our 12 year old sister became Queen when she was of age. But, I don't regret it one bit. So, now I'll let Isa tell you about the Trial."
"Thank you Elena. OK, so, the Song Trial is always my favourite trial. Now, you don't have to sing, but it is preferred. Since it is a song trial, you may do anything to do with song. This includes singing, playing an instrument or dancing. There will be eight rounds. After each of them, one person will be knocked out, until only two remain. The rounds will each have a theme. The first theme is……Belonging. First up, Candy Wallace."
( Okay so what do we do? Just wait till we're called? )
(yeah you could just have them waiting and watching
also their families (not dead relatives tho) would be with them while watching)
Tal watched, feeling very nervous as Candy went up. There really was no telling what was going to happen tonight.
Mia rolled her eyes and fake gagged as Candy walked up. With her perfect teeth, straight blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes, she was the utter image of cliche-ness.
