RPG
Introduction
Long ago the world was much like ours' is now, peaceful save for men killing men, heaven and hell clearly defined to those who believe, humanity alone as the sole rulers of the world. Then it all fell apart. No one knows what caused the change, or how it spread, but now, 500 years later humanity is almost gone. And yet even as the people on the rest of the planet struggle against the demons and beasts that have begun to conquer what remains, one area is still protected.
In what used to be gaza, and the Nile Delta human's gather in a great walled city called Sanctuary. Here the humans that remain have abandoned their gods and their nations, and live under the proctection of the Guild. It is this Guild that they now believe in, the guild is an organizations of the non-humans who protect the city under the direction of the Four Ancients tht rule the city. The Ancients are truely powerful beings, but they are not the only of their kind. Wondering dieties called Magus and the Cursed (Vampire, Demon, Lycan etc.) rule the land beyond Sanctuary. However they don't really bother the inhabitants very much. Its not the Wondering Ones that spell diaster, its the Fifth Ancient.
Outside the walls of the safe heaven is a place that looks like humanity just left, and yet it is barren. A few other settlements here and there crop up but for th emost part it is just the forgotten world full of strange creature and humans that have gone mad. virusus and other contanimants have turned most of man kind into a foul race called "Broken" that now stalk the world in packs from 5 to 50,000. It is these that now gather behind the leadership of the Fifth and are now threathening to overtake the world. Why, no one can guess.
You can be whoever or whatever you wish, but know that you are entering a war between beings with might beyond reckoning. Are you ready to face that power, and claim it for your own?
Sactuary: This gleaming city stands on an island that is in the middle of a massive round lake. THe lake was created by a meteor impact some two thousand years before that hit the reset button on the world. The city is a perfect circle with a massive tower stretchign to the sky at its center. The city is the color of a brilliant emrald from the green roof tiles that gleams in the sun with towers dotting the landscape and rustic mediteranian style buildings that fill the streets.
Needed Characters:
Gabriel: Ancient of Time, and the eldest of the five. He acts as the Protector and defacto ruler of Sanctuary. (Closed)
Artemis: Ancient of Balance, third to be born, she acts as a buffer, constantly working to keep the balance of power even, which means she can switch sides at any time. (Open)
Mercury: Ancient of Fate and fourth to be born. The youngest brother of the siblings, he is always training to prove himself to Azriel and Gabriel. (Open)
Kiara: Ancient of Mana, and the youngest, she is by far the most powerful yet she cannot access that power yet. She is constantly being protected by Gabriel who fears Azriel will steal her power. (Closed)
Azriel: Ancient of Space and second born, his (can be a female) power is equal to Gabriel's and can become greater, now that he has found a way to absorb the power of his fellow ancients. He left Sanctuary in hopes of uniting th enon-humans of th world and recreating it with them. He thinks of humans as inferior and thus will destroy Sanctuary to see his vision succeed. He would also prefer to get the other Ancients to join him rather then kill them, even his arch rival Gabriel. (Open)
Azriel's Second: An Arch Demon who can take the shape of anyone or anything and uses shadows and telekinetic force to attack. Is extremely loyal to Azriel. (Open)
Creatures allowed:
There are only 5 Ancients! No more no less. Otherwise you can be whatever you want, even human if you desire. Humans are normally found only in Sanctuary.
Pick a side:
The Sanctuary creatures believe that the world can be remade and humans can live as equals with the supernatural, especially since they are beinging to evolve into more powerful beings (Psychic and such). Also, most of them have come to see humans as the superior race as they can adapt, something no other race can do, this is Gabriel's belief and most of those in Sanctuary follow it. Technically Gabriel is not the ruler of Sanctury, but most treat him as such and very few will shrug him off, save for Artemis.
The Reformists (Azriel's army) are the majority of the creatures who believe that the human race is a plague and must be extinguished, to do that they are battling the various Vampire clans and Werewolf packs to unite the creatures of the wastes and lead an assault on Sanctuary.
You can create your own third party and place that your race can live in but do know in the end it will come down to the two major sides and any third parties could get caught in the middle, though they are welcome to stand their ground if they so wish.
The purpose of this RP is basically give you a place to put your favorite character in a new world with a new plot and use them to do whatever you want to serve the side of the coin you support. Use any Creature you want,and play how you want... within reason of course.

OOC Notes
Gabriel lay in the soft grass looking up at the clear blue sky through the thick leaves of the Large Oak that sat at the center of the garden. The wind was gentle despite the garden being atop the Tower of Souls (the central fortress of Sanctuary). It was spacious and took up most of the roof with a rim of water surrounding it and a stream cutting through the middle which flows down the side of the tower to the city below. This water was considered to be a charm of some sorts and the humans of the city had taken to putting it into vials they wore for good luck.
Gabriel mused that thought over for a while, the water was nothing special and the only reason the stream was even there was because his father had liked the sound of it running through this place of serenity. Father… Gabriel thought back to the man who had built this shining city and gathered the remaining humans he could here to protect them, but for some reason despite him having been the oldest and having known his father longer than the others had he couldn’t conjure his face in his memory. Gabriel scowled and gripped the grass in his hand to tightly, pulling some of it from the ground and crushing the small blades into a pulp.
His father and mother had ruled sanctuary long ago, beyond any living memory of the humans in the city, but he was different. Despite his father having named him his heir and bringing him up to rule Gabriel refused to take part in the day to day administration of the city. When asked why by the citizens he would always say it was because his father was a proud fool who ruled instead of served, something he would not do. To this end the cities residence elected their leaders every so often and Gabriel along with the other powerful beings simply protected the city.
He wondered what his siblings thought of that, since it was so different from how their parents had ruled.

OOC Notes
"Good morning, brother," a voice said cheerily.
A shadow fell over Gabriel. Artemis had come to stand directly above him, deliberately blocking out the light. "Whatever did the poor grass do to you to deserve your smiting it?" she said, with a mock-pout, her gaze indicating the torn-up patch. Then, without further ado or asking permission she threw herself down beside Gabriel on the grass. She rolled over leisurely. "Something on your mind?" she said. Her mouth curved in a grin.

OOC Notes
He almost told her the truth, but she was the one who would remember their parents more vividly than the others who still remained in Sanctuary, he wasn’t going to bring them up to her. Unlike the others she would know the truth, and he didn’t want to put her mind through those memories. Instead he returned her question with one of his own, “Shouldn’t you be at some public event right about now, Arty, the life of a celebrity?”
OOC Notes
"My adoring public? The ones that are terrified, you mean?" If anything, Artemis' grin grew even wider. A lot of people found the Ancient of Balance intimidating, especially given her whimsical moods and often unreasonable behaviour. "Oh, they'll just have to cope without me." She dismissed them with an airy wave of her arm. "If I have my brother to think of, they'll just have to wait. Hmm. Now let me see. I could pester you incessantly...or flutter my eyelashes at you....or quiver my bottom lip and make you feel bad 'cause I'm about to cry...oh! Or I could bribe you with candy!"
Artemis pulled a handful of sweets from a pocket. She often carried them, and they were usually used for mockery rather than reward. "Have a sweety. It'll make you feel better after a good long sulk." A cackle of laughter cracked from her lips.

Gabriel stood, taking the candy, “You’re probably the only one of our siblings that is so callous to our charges… typical of you to be the odd woman out…” he smiled, it has her nature as a creature of balance. The statement alone was the most ironic thing said as it described him more so than her. His other siblings would be seen in some capacity all most constantly among the people below, but ever since Azriel’s betrayal a few years ago Gabriel had not left the garden atop the tower.
He had been hit harder than any of them, it seemed, by the betrayal of his eldest sibling. It was no secret to those around the siblings that Gabriel and Azriel had been closer than Gabriel ever was to his other siblings, the two had a bad habit of leaving the city time and time again in the centuries before to slay the largest and strongest beats of the wastes they could find. A Statue in the courtyard below at the base of the tower commemorates the famous story of when the two slew a hydra that had crawled under the city through the sewers and exploded to the surface in the market place. “Did I ever tell you the story of Azriel and I against the hydra?” While their sister Artemis wasn’t even big enough to stand yet the two very young boys banded together to slay the creature while their father was busy dealing with another at the gate. That was over six hundred years ago and the statue would have the people thinking that the Ancients were born as the awe inspiring masters of combat that they were today.
The truth was he had told her the story time and time again, but it was kind of funny, “That statue makes it look like we were grown men who killed a giant, but father was the real hero… Azriel and I couldn’t have been but boys and the hydra we killed was just a baby maybe five feet long… Father was the one who slew the mother that was at the gate of the city dwarfing the walls… and they made a statue of us, instead of him, I think as a joke…” he smiled in memory. The eldest looked young in body but his eyes were betraying his age. He was growing old at heart and his family would know it.

"Oh, it's only the zillionth time I ever heard that before," Artemis drawled, but she looked interested. "So. You're moping about Azriel and about Father. You're feeling all lonely." She pouted. "I am of course offended. Why don't you value the company you have? What about me?" She flung up her arms in an aren't-I-wonderful gesture, then turn a crooked smile on Gabriel. "You have three siblings other than Azriel, Gabriel. Don't forget a whole host of mortals who would do anything for you. I mean ...anything." She grinned - and in her salacious, dirty leer hermeaning was all too clear. "But instead you choose to brood up here in self-imposed isolation."
"Things change. It's the movement of the balance, the ever-changing, shifting upon that fulcrum that keeps us all from stagnation." Her eyes darkened wickedly from her moment of seriousness. "I never knew that you were the Ancient of Times Past and Long Gone, Gabriel. Stop dwelling on what might have been. What about Times Future, brother? What about ...the Time is Now? Or are you going to wake up one day and realise that you let all those years pass through your fingers, like dust that you can never grasp again?"

Crunch... was the sound of sharp teeth biting into an apple. The juice ran down flesh that crawled. His face contorted into a smile as beetles crawled across his twisting flesh. "I see the peace... such a rotten feeling that vermin can rest safely knowing the cat can't breech their little hole." He dropped the apple which was now covered in insects. "Kill them all..." He said motioning his hand forward. "Angst Guard forward!" The heavy armored beings known only as the Angst moved forward heavy set swords in hand as they charged down upon their foes.
The Angst are a species created by Orithingud from souls he dragged out of hell to serve him devoutly. They are fearless and know no mercy.

He sighed and stared into space, “It’s not his betrayal, dear sister, it’s my failure to stop it… he almost killed Kiara… and I just stood by and let it happen. If you hadn’t been there she’d be dead right now.” He wasn’t mopping to make himself feel better, he was just not feeling worthy to be the leader he once was anymore. It wasn’t the same as when their parents had passed, not by a long shot. That was a whole different horror, but he wouldn’t bring it up. His siblings were all too young at the time or were gone when it happened, only Azriel knew the truth. And Gabriel wasn’t about to tell it.
OOC Notes
"Still. You failed to stop it. What's done is done," Artemis said lazily. "He had no understanding anyway." Her interest piqued though, she leaned forward. "Why did you just stand by, Gabriel?" she asked, curiously.
OOC Notes
His opened his mouth calmly as hundreds of serpents crawled forth from his maw followed by a swarm of flesh eating scarab beetles... soon his form was gone and the wave of vermin washed beneath the feet of the Angst before twisting into a horde of crows that took refuge upon the sanctuary's wall... upon which they once more turned into snakes and beetles... flowing into the maw of one serpent before it rose back into a human form. His finger pressed against the city's gate release and promptly pressed it until the chains spun and the gate lowered as the dark warriors rushed forward to slaughter and butcher all who clung to humanity.
