Introduction
12 years ago the world changed when a demon lord tore a rift between worlds and launched an all out attack attacked on the city of Haven. Taken by surprise humanity was forced to acknowledge the existence of demons and the supernatural. Meanwhile the demon lord took control of a huge part of the city. The first battles of the war were easily won by the demons, but eventually the people of Haven started to push back.
In a final massive struggle humanity triumphed and killed the demon lord. However, as he died he cast a curse, corrupting the city with his power. The rift closed as thick red rain poured from the sky. The surviving demons fled to the darkest holes and corners of the city, but they remained.
Not long after the effects of the curse became evident. Animals and plant life became twisted and often dangerous. Some humans also began to develop paranormal abilities. These humans became feared for their frightening powers and their tendencies to lose control.
So that's when you come in. You are a citizen for modern day Haven. The city is still being rebuilt and paranoia is everywhere. Armed forces patrol the streets for demons and corrupted animals. The number of corrupted humans is on the rise, as is the number of them that lose control.
So what will you do? Will you join the police department or Haven Office of Demon Affairs and try to restore order? Will you make a profit off the chaos as a demon hunter?
Or perhaps you're a part of Haven's Curse, one of the poor souls corrupted by demonic power. What about you? Will you stand with humanity or take the city for your own kind?
Corrupted Humans
These people have developed supernatural abilities as a result of Haven's Curse. They are classified as stable and unstable. A stable person is usually in full control of his/her abilities but is far weaker than one who is unstable. Unstable people on the other hand frequently lose control of their abilities, their powers grow and continue to grow rapidly in strength, on top of this they are prone to going insane. A stable person can become unstable when put under extreme stress although some people are unstable from the moment their powers start to develop. They are referred to by many as "Freaks" and are meant to register with the Haven Office of Demon Affairs, although many prefer to hide their nature.
Demon Hunters
Many humans can’t wait for the H.O.D.A. to track down certain demons and will pay money to anyone that can. Demon hunting is illegal because it's so dangerous and because some hunt demons for demonic substances like demon blood. Some hunters will also target corrupted humans, for the right price.
H.O.D.A.
The Haven Office of Demon Affairs is responsible for cleansing the city of Demons. They research demons, the corrupted and all things related to Haven's curse. They also monitor and regulate registered corrupted humans. Rumors claim that they preform illegal experiments on corrupted humans, but those are just rumors... right?
Demons
Demons are split into two classes, lesser and higher.
Lesser: These are mainly monstrous mixes of animals that can sometimes possess paranormal powers. They are very similar to corrupted animals, except they are usually more powerful and more intelligent.
Higher: These are very rare. They are at least as smart as humans and can have humanoid forms (although not always). They are capable of using powerful supernatural abilities and commanding lesser demons.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
She nodded dumbly, still a bit confused with everything. The doctor left her side, and she was left to think by herself. She was just attacked by a demon... A demon. She visibly shuddered, hoping that no one saw the movement. Those two... didn't they bring her to the hospital? She moved her head to look at the door, managing to catch the sight of the nurse speaking to the male student. She sighed, they were still here? She barely-scratch that- didn't even know them. Now she began to wonder what happen to the other man, he wiped her blood onto him, she simply hoped he was still in one piece.
She closed her eyes for a second, wondering how long they'd keep her here. She may have injuries, yet she was a corrupted. Could it be those rumors? The ones saying that those registered corrupted in the H.O.D.A will begin testing on her? Will they just lock her away? She bit her lip, hoping to god nothing happens to her. She never wanted to be come this in the first place.
The setting changes from Haven City to Haven City University
" Heh " he grunted " wrong choice " Largen's hand clamped onto the gauntlets and the fires were snubbed out and with great force and speed he cocked back his left, firing it off as yanked the boy towards him so his face would collide with his fist, causing greater damage with both their momentum. A direct hit to the skull like that after he's fed would kill damn near any living creature walking the earth, fortunately for the hunter the girl had escaped before he could ingest her blood, his punches could still kill a human but there was a chance a battle savvy man like him would survive it. Though he likely wouldn't be standing afterwards.

Will slowly stood. He collected his sword and began walking away. Looking back he could see the serum wearing off slowly. "Well settle this next time!" He shouted back to the demon as he walked out of the demon's sight.Dizzy with vision fading Will now headed to the hospital to hopefully save himself. He kept walking until he passed out in the streets.
(Sorry I took so long but im ready to get this goin again:)
