Introduction
NOTHING IS EVER AS IT SEEMS
Demons and Angels
We’re taught to fear one, awe the other.
What if we were told wrong?
Newtons third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. There would be no light without darkness, no life without death. Demons were created as a reaction to the angels, but that didn’t make them evil. The lore had it wrong.
At the origin of men, Angels were created to guard the heavens and Demons were created to guard the earth. Their war is as old as time. Somewhere down the line things became blurred, sides were crossed. Demons, sick of the fight, joined the Angels cause to destroy mankind. Angels, doubtful of their mission of wrath, joined the Demons fight to defend. Demons and Angels working together on either side, it became a civil war of Heaven and Earth.
DEMONS
There are three common types of demons, they divide themselves by their gifts although there are all kinds on both sides. All demons have some level of skill in all forms of magic, but each have an affinity for one sort of class or another. While each demon has their own individual personality, there are a lot of shared traits between all demons. They are all do their best to make decisions from an objective standpoints, where as Angels are very subjective. Most demons, despite misconceptions, are actually very mild tempered and very rarely use petty magic. Their magic takes a greater toll on them than demons, but their individual power can be greater than the average individual angel. Most don’t make it to 650 years old, and while most demons are taught to be self sufficient from day one, they aren’t considered full fledged adults until their 100th birthday. All demons have the ability to blink (travel large distances in a blink of an eye), manipulate the elements and heal at a rapid rate. Each demon discovers their affinity around age 75, and later identifies as one of the following classes of demons.
Fae : Drawing their power from nature, they tend to be more down to earth. These demons manipulate nature and creatures by connecting to it’s force. Fae are considered to be the more passive sort of demon, most prefer not to be a part of the fight.
Mage : These are the demons that practice the ancient sort of magic; incantations, runes, enchantments, charms and hexes. To be a mage is to be a scholar, an intellect. It’s all science, able to write out into an exact formula. Unlike the other forms of magic, the level of control is not dependent on emotion, which is appropriate as most Mages tend to be cold emotionally.
Vampires : Unlike most lore would have you believe, vampires do not drink blood. There was a trend there for a while, when humanity was into some sick shit when demons joined in - but vampires drain in a less literal sense. They use the energy force of others, able to make deals with mortals to collect pieces of their life force. They are able to last longer in a battle when properly prepared, but can be dependent on their supply.
ANGELS
Divine creatures, angels take many forms. Depending on an individual’s affinity for the creatures of Earth, and angel can transform into any one of them. Their magic is based on mostly their collective powers from heaven. Most of them have limited individual powers while not in their true form, which can only be in the heavens. If they were to take their true form on earth, it would cause the angel to disintegrate under the foreign conditions of Earth. Their wings seemingly absent, are always present at a moments notice, moving them across leagues in seconds. They materialize in a different plane of the same dimension, invisible and untouchable. While on Earth they can still heal, astral project, have super strength and use mild telepathy. They do have their own knowledge of spells and sacred runes that come in handy for protection or to bless homes, tools, skin. Angels have perfect memory, painfully so. They live for centuries, reaching adulthood at 350 years and the average lifespan lasting 970 years. Most die in battle, few of natural causes. It is the way of their kind.
PLOT
immediate plot : 2017 has brought on the end of the world. Those the heavens have manipulated have been placed into power, setting the world up to crumble into chaos - soon. The final battle is around the corner, and it has fallen onto one faction to lead it. Following as the faction arrives in a small town where a woman claimed to have seen an angel, the faction plans to capture an angel of heaven to question.
long term plot : One day the battle will come, and we will fight to decide the fate of the earth.
SETTING[/br]
Set in the somewhat near-future, technology has integrated itself into every aspect of life. Doors no longer use keys, most civilians have computers implanted under their skin and in their eyes to eliminate need of a phone or any other mobile device. Most of the world is suffering from drought, coastal cities destroyed years ago. Though the movement is global, our particular faction has been centrally located in the Amazonian jungles of Venezuela. They’ve ventured into the country’s capital when reports of an angel due to visit have been rumored. The city is wrought with poverty, the streets fashioned into a shanty town. The air is hot and heavy, thick. Since the world began to take a turn for the worst a few years ago, many people fled their own country. This has left many of the standing cities of the world to turn into refugee cities, which makes it easier to blend into a foreign city. The faction has arrived in the safe house of the movement and begin to set up shop and asses their temporary headquarters.

Re: At the End
Ahhhhh Linda, I want to point out that the New RP tab is gone at the moment! It might be hard for people to notice this without that :(
But it sounds super interesting! Kudos!
But it sounds super interesting! Kudos!
Re: At the End
I've realized upon looking back and reading a lot of the other roleplays that there are a lot of other rps right now with similar themes. I just thought that was an amusing thing to point out. I hope that means people will take interest. ^.^
Re: At the End
Thanks for your patience while I assemble the front page.
A little info to help you decide how/if to join;
1. No average humans unless you want to make a character that isn't part of the central story
2. Each role of the faction can be demon or angel
3. If you can think of your own original role, let me know
4. Be reasonable with the magic, not petty stuff like household chores or "materializing" luxuries
5. Dedicate to collaboration and creating interesting ties with other characters.
Drop your requests, FC, age and role below and what I should call you.
I'm Rosa.xo
To the left here you see Kingsley, my mercenary mage - age 176.
Now you ;)
EDIT || I just updated Kingsley's CS, the history is SUPER long but I suggest trying to read at least the first half thoroughly to get an idea of the "traditionalist" side of demonology, as well as some other aspects to help give you an idea of this world. I plan on writing more on it, a set or "lore" of some kind.
