Introduction

The man walked through the refuge's supply tunnels, stretching underground to each supply building, hence the name. It took a long time to build, but it was much safer then the infested sewers. Infested with things much worse then rats. He was anxious and panicky. Nowadays most people are when they go out after dark, not to mention the darkness of the tunnels. He held only an oil lantern in his hand as he walked. The flame flickered casting shadows across the walls, causing his imagination to run wild on the monsters he could run into. There was one he didn't want to run into most of all, but he had to, or a fate worse then death waited for him. If anybody from the refuge found out what he was doing, it might be even worse then that.
"Lyon, I have your information. Please, just- just stop toying with me and come out already!" He called out to his "employer". Silence. "Lyon if you don't show yourself I have no choice but to turn back now!"
"But if you were to do that, you wouldn't make it five feet from where you stand." A voice in the shadows, but nothing more. The lantern's flame started to dim, and finally died out, causing even more panic in the man, the only noise for a moment was his stifled whimper. The flame then lit up again, and Lyon stood before him. "Now, what information can you give me on that compound?"
"W-well, this is what I found out:
Ever since the End War, risen demon, human, and fallen angel alike have resided there. They had nowhere to go after the army of heaven retreated with those who earned salvation, and the legions of hell conquered everything. That compound is, 'the last beacon of hope for all'. Some are there in belief that one day they could be 'saved' as well, others are only there to have some sort of protection from the outside world."
"What do they have in terms of keeping people like...say, me, out?"
"Well...I couldn't find that out...they haven't had to defend against much lately. The occasional airborne demon to swoop in and grab a few humans. Not much else yet."
"So, you're telling me you can't find out that information then?"
"Not unless there is an actual attack that causes them to bring out all of the stops."
"Then a pity for you. You've proved yourself useless. I don't have any need to know why anybody is in there, I need to know how to get them out. I'll have to send in another. A demon. Humans are too delicate in their pursuits."
"So I'm free?!" A smile appeared on the man's face. The first in a long time.
"If you would like to call where you might be going 'freedom', then yes. You are free from this world." Lyon's gauntlet released it's claws. In a few moments, the tunnels were no longer silent. Screams echoed the entirety of the underground, and whether anybody above heard them or not didn't matter, the deed was done. And Lyon went back to his "army" back off of the island, which consisted of a few demons of his choice. He only looked like another bat flying through the middle of the night, so high in the air...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This is my first RP HERE in a while. I couldn't be too active before since my old computer was junk, but this laptop works fine and at anytime! So I can be dedicated to my RP's again! But, back to the topic at hand:

Use the character sheet provided (just fill out the what applies to whether you are a demon, angel, or human)
The RP will start as Lyon discusses the plan to attack the compound, but won't end there. I have MANY ideas to continue the plot, depending on what happens (I am totally prepared for Lyon's death, but he will fight hard!)
There are 5 other demons in Lyon's small army, with some feral demon fodder under their command. Fill up those spots?
I left everything completely open to you guys (whether anybody heard that scream and went to check it out, how the island is truly defended, etc.) so get creative.
There is also an open spot for Lyon's new spy, if no one takes that spot, I'll fill it as well.

Rules

Should be obvious by now that no god-modding or the dreaded "Sues" are allowed.
Also, I expect legible posts! Grammar, well, just make it so we understand the tone and mood. Spelling, make sure we know what word you mean. I don't care if you use the wrong there or to. Just make it obvious you mean THERE and not any other word, in case of confusion.
Lastly, I would like to see at least 3 lines in a post.

Re: [OOC] The Eigth Seal

Awesome! Can't wait to see your characters :D


Re: [OOC] The Eigth Seal

Kewl I got an idea for a fallen angel


Re: [OOC] The Eigth Seal

It doesn't matter. Pick what you want. The demon spots can be NPC'd by me if necessary until someone does take the spots. I don't wanna say I need those spots first and then end up having an RP of those few demons, with no one there to actually go up against.


Re: [OOC] The Eigth Seal

I'd, uh, like to join but I'm not sure what I should take. I'd would like to be a fallen angel but I'm unsure if the demon spots need to be filled in first...?


Re: [OOC] The Eigth Seal

In order:

Basically present day, well, exactly present day.
SPOILER: Yes. But we'll get to those later in the plot.
I wanted to leave that open, so we could fill it in together as the RP goes on, but if you insist I can update the intro with something.
Tech is the same as you and I see it. Present day stuff.
Well, the entirety of Staten Island (http://www.greatrealtyusa.com/content/photo/4992-5.jpg <- That island, with bridges falling apart or destroyed)

Any other questions I'll be sure to answer A.S.A.P!


Re: [OOC] The Eigth Seal

I'd like to join but I have some questions first.

What's the time period?
Are there other friendly compounds?
What happened exactly that started everything?
How's the technology?
How big is this settlement?
