Introduction
Each mortal in the world has their own histories; their own loves, battles, and struggles. The same goes for the otherworldly beings that walk inconspicuously in their mist. Angels descend from the Heavens to aid the mortals to Paradise. Though there are some cases where Evil is upsetting the Balance and Angel Forces are dispatched to take care of the problem.
Throughout history, there have been many uprisings against the Heavenly. The Angels have always vanquished those who went against them. Even the traitors among their kind, whom they could not bear to destroy, were cast out of their ranks. These Angels were left to become the Fallen. Now said Fallen lurk the streets, wandering with their broken wings, passing as any mortal. Nightclubs, bars, and city streets: they live. Some work to redeem themselves, to mend what theyβve done and join their brethren again.
Some find friends among the Fallen, and some even drown even deeper in Darkness. Demons are what they become if they choose to. The choice is not always one or the other, Angel again or Demon. No, there are some who enjoy being Fallen. Those who are freed from the Pure binds that withhold the Angels, free to court and dance in the Seven Sins as many mortals do. Lust, they take pleasure in. Greed, they accumulate over the years. After centuries of having free will, what would happen if it were to be taken away?
The Angels want nothing to do with the Fallen who wish to stay broken, or those who have turned to Demons. Sometimes they even turn the other cheek to those who seek redemption. No, the Angels are content with keeping the balance equal and watching over humanity. They are not the ones who are hungry.
The Sins revel in the Heavenly Power that clings to the Fallen. After all, the Fallen are still immortal. They can still fly, are stronger than any man, and hold knowledge most genuine to the Sins. The Sins have decided that their loyal Demons and Devils are doing absolutely nothing when it comes to fighting against the Angels. The Sinsβ desires for power have grown and in so, they seek more than just sucking mortals into their traps. They want to take over Heaven and rid the world of the Angels once and for all.
But of course, this is no easy task. The Angels are strong. Yes, they are strong, but they are also weak in their pride. So many years of winning against Evil has made them vain. They no longer listen with care to the rumors that fly about. They no longer send their ranks down to sweep over the earth just in case an uprising is about to occur. This leaves the Fallen with even more leash, free to negotiate with the sins as they may.
The Fallen know where the Angelsβ powers derive from. They know where the ancient medallions are kept hidden, scattered around Earth, and guarded for safe-keeping. To even attempt to steal one of the medallions would be a sentence to infinite obliteration. Their souls would be gone, lost from the world. They would be erased. Not even a Fallen would fall so hard into the dark side that they would risk that.
But the Sins are known for their trickery. They donβt plan on playing fair.
So, would you like to play your fate with the dark side?
THE FALLEN
Fallen Angels who have committed the worst of crimes. Falling in love with a mortal, consorting with a Sin, and the like, they were punished. Their brilliant white wings were blackened, weighed down with shadows. Then they were cast out from Heaven and left to Fall. On the Earth they landed, finding that their wings could carry them, yes, but not back up to the Heavens.
They live their lives out on Earth where they are free to do as they please. They can no longer answer the calls of Heaven. They were stripped of their power to guide mortals into Paradise. Still, some of them have retained the powers born to them on the day of their existence. Some are Illusionists, Fire Benders, Telepaths, but all of them stay out of fame or fortune. They live their lives out in exile, never to truly be a mortal and to never truly belong.
THE ANGELS [THE PURE ONES]
Arrogance has taken over most of them. Ignorant, they believe they are unstoppable and that their befall will never come. Though with arrogance and ignorance, there come the clever ones who go to the Earth on their own accord. These Angels lurk among the Fallen and sometimes even trail the Sins, to find out the new rumors that have been spreading.
But even if these courageous Angels find the answers about the Sinsβ Plans, will their brethren listen?
THE SINS [Bolded is taken.]
Birthed with the coming of Humanity, the Sins were created to keep a balance with the Virtues. Without darkness, there is no true light, as the saying goes. The Virtues were created to fashion a way of peaceful living within the realm of Earth. But with so much peace, there was no uniqueness, no individuality. And so the Sins rose from the darkness, left to taunt the humans and lead them astray from their way of peace. The Sins were never Angels; they are different beings entirely. Some of the Sins even loathe the Fallen, for being Angels in the first place.
PRIDE: Arrogance, haughtiness, and vanity. Thinking of nothing but himself, he strides with an air of overwhelming confidence that others cannot bear. He thinks of himself as better than the other Sins and able to rule without them. [Male]
LUST: Never-ending crave for touch, aphrodisiac, sensuality. When others are in her presence (save for the other sins), the weak succumb to their desire and drift away from true love. She walks with a suave, seductive step and moves in achingly graceful flourish. [Female]
AVARICE: Obsessive, gluttonous, and indulgent. Greed calls forth the darkest wants of others and bestows upon them a need so great that they are never satisfied. He often changes his physique from that of a lithe thief to a stout burly businessman. [Male]
ENVY: Jealousy, begrudging, malevolent. Making others turn a blind eye to true beauty and personality, she makes malice blossom and bitches bloom. She carries a tantalizing and cynical stare, with eyes as dark as night. [Female]
WRATH: Anger, destruction, hatred. Others fall into acrimony, disregarding any thought of feelings of the well-being of others. Buildings collapse and bad luck follows this man. [Male]
GLUTTONY: One in tune with Avarice, Gluttony forces others to give in to their haughtiest demands and pushes them to over-indulge. Despite his depictions as an overweight hog, Gluttony is almost skeletal in stature to mislead the mortals. [Male]
SLOTH: Lethargic, slow, useless. The will of others are broken and the fight to become great dies in the eyes of the weak. Her body is ghost-like, pale almost as if made of nothingness itself. [Female]
THE MEDALLIONS
There are Seven Medallions, each that carry the essence of a virtue within them. The virtues made the choice to leave the physical realm and discard their bodies so their ethereal forms could be forced into the Medallions. They are kept for safe-keeping, locked up in vaults guarded by the Angels. As long as the Virtues are protected, the Sins can not gain more power than they already have. Humility, Generosity, Love, Kindness, Self-Control, Faith/Temperance, and Zeal are the Seven Virtues.

"Justice, it is.... nice.. to see you again," The Angel said politely, warmly. He was affection after all. He had to love even Sinners. Otherwise, what different was he?
"First move? I never remember you being so generous..." Airiko nodded his head in thanks. "But I appreciate it, Cousin,"
His hands glowed, and in a couple of seconds, in his palms, were two long swords appeared, the hilt golden and the blade blinding silver. Airiko slid into a battle stance and slipped foward, with blinding speed as was bestowed upon God's favored ones, his movements precise. But he knew Ira would have the same. He used to be favored as well.. Saving Sacrifice. That's all it was.

"So, why are you here?" She asked the fallen. She had planned this day to be just her and the sins but it seemed to be filled with angels of all different sorts. It was an unexpected and unwelcome suprise to her but she wasn't going to let it bug her.

Was that really him? Her desperate sense of longing vanished as soon as she realized what it would mean. The... Angels have found them. How was that possible? They had hidden their presence so well..Β
No. He must have been drawn here. Oh. Ira. It must've been him. Lust gazed at a wall, unsure of what to do. It seemed pointless really. Affection had come to see Sacrifice. Yet... Sacrifice was dead.Β
Lust curled back up into a ball. Wrath would take care of... It. He was probably the one that had lured Airiko here. Maybe she should have cared more for someone that used to follow her like an adoring puppy dog. But she couldn't deny that if it came to a fight, she would be on Ira's side... And that would never change.Β
If she heard screaming then she would go take a peek. If not. She'll pretend that she had noticed nothing.Β

She set her brush on the vanity table and stared at herself, stared at her tired, black-rimmed eyes and her fried and broken hair, stared at her sickly, almost jaundiced completion and narrowed her eyes. The other Sins were making some kind of a commotion not to far away from her, and though she hated them all for not waiting for her to be there, she couldn't help but feel curious. What were they talking about this time?
Well, she'd just have to go find out herself. Envy slammed her hands down on the vanity with enough force to leave the heels of her palms aching as pushed herself up and moved to the door. It was strange to see her move; she was thin and unhealthy looking, both spidery and snake-like, and it gave her an almost extra terrestrial appearance.
She walked quietly over to the small gathering, just in time to hear Pride giving out compliments to some filthy fallen. Envy seethed. Pride never said anything nice to her, never complimented her, though she was sure that she was due more than her fair share of praise-- but no. Of course he never gave her any compliments, the blind fool. He only ever thought about himself anyway. Involuntarily, Envy felt her lip curl into a snarl.

" I don't know yet. Do you?" It was true. Belle hadn't decided whether or not to really join the Sins. They weren't trustworthy and moreover she didn't truly hate the angels. Not all of them, just a few.

He was losing. All the Sins were watching. How pathetic. He dodged another attack and landed hard on the ground. No, he would have to retreat. Without reinforcements, Ira would not be taken down.
"I admit defeat, Cousin," Affection anounced, his eyes burning with shame. "But remember, I will kill you one day, Ira." He spat the name out before disapearing in a golden blinding light. He felt so pathetic.
"Alex, if you don't mind me asking, why did they cast you out?"

Ira returned to his room and approached the fireplace. He returned his sword to it's resting place, his movements having an almost reverent quality to them. He then removed his soiled suit and tossed it aside; a servant would collect them later. he went to his extensive wardrobe and selected and donned a new set of attire: a black suit coat and a matching pair of pants, another red kerchief, a black shirt, and a blood red tie. Once properly dressed, he left his room and quickly rejoined the other Sins, who were still grouped by Envy's door down the hall. As Ira approached them, he noticed envy was finally out of her room. Ira almost let out a sigh of relief. Praise Satan, now perhaps we can actually have this accursed meeting everyone has been speaking of.
Ira rejoined the group silently, preferring to avoid speaking until all the "pleasantries" had been exchanged between Envy and the other Sins.

Even though Belle wasn't as angry as she was, she had every right to be. Everybody knows that you can't control love. Falling in love woth a human wasn't bad at all. She didn't tell Belle that or what she did to her demon lover boy. She left out anything that would give away what she did in detail or expose any more of her self than she already had. She didn't need to say what she stole, who she stole it for, or wjat happened afterward.

Darkened Earth Owner: Secrets
To the mortals, Earth is Earth. To the supernaturals and the ethereal beings that reside on it, well, they say otherwise. To them, Earth is Darkened Earth, a place where the rejected lurk and evil thrives.

Since they manifested during the creation of humankind, the Sins have never truly liked change. Their little inn was built well in medieval times and it has been updated at the turn of the new century, but the stone walls have yet to be replaced!
