Kaijudo

--Duel Masters-- The Order of the Kaijudo Duel Masters is an ancient organization thousands of years old. It was founded by five ancient mages who ended the Great Kaiju war by creating the Veil.

It is the purpose of the Kaijudo Order to protect the human realm from creatures that breach the Veil and cross over into the human world, sending these creatures home and closing the veil breaches they came from.

Duelists tend to focus on learning about and dueling with creatures from one particular civilization. Of course there is no rule prohibiting a duelist from summoning and dueling with creatures of other civilizations, and a true Duel Master can summon whatever creature is best suited for the task at hand. However, a duelist works best with the civilization whose general personality matches their own personality (for example, someone short-tempered and combative works best with Fire creatures), and many duelists tend to have one creature in particular as their partner and signature summoning.

--List of Civilizations-- Each creature belongs to at least one race and civilization, each with its own powers and abilities.

• Light Civilization - The Light civilization rises above the other civilizations, literally; they live in majestic, floating cities in the sky that operate with clock-like precision. For Light civilization creatures, intellectual power reigns supreme, and they have harnessed their superior intelligence to create elegant and advanced technologies to help them in all aspects of their lives. In fact, Light creatures' polished metal bodies are mechanical constructs designed to hold their souls, which are made of light. Due to their nature, they are able to use light in all its forms (waves, particles, beams, etc.), whether for defense or offense. The Monarch of the Light Civilization is Eternal Haven, Angelic Liege who is the rightful owner of the Heart of Light. List of Races: Angel Command, Battle Sphere, Celestial Dragon, Enforcer, Fractal, Invader, Mecha Thunder, Sky Weaver, Skyforce Champion, Star Sentinel, Storm Patrol

• Water Civilization - The Water Civilization is located in the depths of any sufficiently large body of water, be it a pond, mighty river, lake or ocean. The most centered and naturally peaceful civilization, they often do not start battles, but once roused into a storm, their relentless counterattacks can decimate their foes. They’re streamlined and highly technological – nearly as much so as the Light Civilization. They exploit microchip technology as well as hydraulics. Because speaking is difficult underwater, many inhabitants use mental telepathy to communicate. And the Water denizens can utilize supersonic/electromagnetic waves. The Monarch of the Water Civilization is King Tritonus who is the rightful owner of the Helm of Ultimate Technology. List of Races: Aquan, Cyber Complex, Cyber Lord, Cyber Virus, Earth Eater, Leviathan, Riptide Champion, Survivor, Trench Hunter, Tsunami Dragon, Undertow Engine

• Darkness Civilization - At home in deep subterranean cave systems and anywhere in the darkness, they are the ‘bump in the night’. They are the creepy crawlies, ever patient and always using the shadows to their advantage. Obscuring their maneuvers and strategy, the Darkness civilization tends to be sneaky and deceptive – choosing the right moment to pop out and scare / attack /greet their enemies. The Darkness Civilization has a certain spooky, creepy side with its undead, demons and especially ‘the masks.’ Many creatures of Darkness always wear masks, which keeps others guessing about who or what is beneath. The ‘unpredictable’ side of darkness (and what may come out of it) is intriguing. On a deeper level, dark things are neither all bad nor all good – and darkness offers many lessons useful not only to dueling but to life. The primary colors of the Darkness Civilization are purple and black. These can represent the sneakier aspects of this Civilization, such as plotting, planning, hoarding (as opposed to their toxic waste, poison and so on). The look is frequently “cobbled together,” stitched or otherwise misshapen. Armor and weaponry are always macabre, but cool! The Monarch of the Darkness Civilization is Queen Kalima of the Infinite Dark who is the rightful owner of the Cloak of Dark Illusion. List of Races: Brain Jacker, Chimera, Dark Lord, Dread Mask, Evil Toy, Mimic, Rot Worm, Shadow Champion, Specter, Tarborg, Terror Dragon, Zombie

• Fire Civilization - The Fire Civilization is shimmering deserts and rocky badlands, all surrounded by magma-belching volcanoes. In this blast-furnace land live creatures with explosive personalities and high-explosive weaponry. Fire creatures don’t do a lot of planning, and do less negotiating, making Fire the most warlike civilization. Fire is driven by the need to act now and think later. Other civilizations see Fire as impulsive, angry, and out of control, but Fire knows that the key to winning is quickly acting on instinct. The Monarch of the Fire Civilization is Infernus the Immolator who is the rightful owner of the Sword of Fiery Cataclysm. List of Races: Armored Dragon, Attack Raptor, Berserker, Blaze Champion, Burn Belly, Drakon, Dune Gecko, Fire Bird, Inferno Complex, Melt Warrior, Rock Brute, Stomper

• Nature Civilization - The Nature civilization is the largest kingdom in the Creature realm, and it threatens to grow larger every day. This expansion causes continuing conflict with the other Civilizations, because the nature of Nature is growth in every direction. The civilization’s motto is simple: Survive at all costs. Nature civilization creatures are often tribal, with a tendency toward spiritual and shamanistic practices. Not surprisingly, the Nature civilization tends to be more primitive than the others, relying more on brute strength and weaponry found in their surroundings (thorns, vines, shells, poisonous stingers, etc.). The Monarch of the Nature Civilization is Almighty Colossus who is the rightful owner of the Shield of Unity. List of Races: Beast Kin, Colossus, Earthstrike Dragon, Flying Fungus, Living City, Megabug, Primal Champion, Snow Sprite, Spirit Totem, Tree Kin, Tusker, Wild Veggie
