Cielos Luz
For every day, there is a night. For every dawn, there is a dusk. For every Celestial, there are countless demons.....
Map
Many thousands of years ago, while Lutra was young, a peculiar species came into being. Humans. Humans where always weak, as such when the demons came, they could not stop them. One night, while man was young, from the darkest reaches of Lutra and beyond, the demons descended. They ravaged the land, killing many human populations. They went continent to continent in their hunt for human blood. It brought them enjoyment. Until they came upon Dorthithladh, the last stronghold of humanity. The humans of Dorthithladh had no idea what was coming, and stood no chance against the demons. Or so it seemed. One night, under the night sky, the stars granted their power to 88 select humans to combat the demons. These 88 fought the demons back, and saved Dorthithladh, going down in history as the first Celestials.
Now, after many thousands of years of peace from the demons, a dark cloud gathers, and the Celestials will be called again.

Welcome to Cielos Luz, a RP where the player will take up the role of a powerful human known as a Celestial. I have tried many story driven RPs but they always crash and burn, so I have decided to try something new. A more sandbox RP, where you the player gets to decide where you want to go and what you want to do. Now, that doesn't mean I have a general story in mind, cause I do. I do have a general idea for a main story and you are more than welcome to be involved. Anyways, time for some basic lore.
Celestials
The Celestials are just humans, with a little extra. They are humans with the power of one of the 88 constellations. There are always 88 Celestials, if one dies, a new one is born. Their powers come naturally to them, meaning they don't need training. The first Celestials where born to combat demons in the time of the ancients. Each Celestial has a human form and a Celestial form. In human form, Celestials are able to use their power, but not to its fullest. That said, it is still very powerful. In their Celestial form, they are at their most powerful, but also at their weakest. The longer they are in Celestial form, the more energy they lose, and as such can die by using their Celestial form. And I will repeat the point at the beginning, Celestials are human, so they have human desires, wishes and etc. This means they are not necessarily good or evil. Also, they can be born from any class of society.
Demons:
Demons is a large general classification. Demons are anything of demonic origin, so they can appear in many different forms and have many different powers.
Monsters:
Monsters are creatures that are not demons, but yet not your ordinary creature. They lack a human like intelligence so they are just considered beasts.
Races:
Screw you, the only known races on Dorthithladh are humans. Demons do exist, but they have been quiet for so long that they are believed to be extinct. Legends of other races do exist but they are just that, legends.
Nations:
See the map. The map has all the important information needed.
Religions:
Vahasni - Vahasni is a religion from the Jiddahari Caliphate. They believe in only one god, Vahasni. To them, Vahasni gave the Celestials their powers to defeat the demons. Vahasni holds the belief that even though the Celestials have great power, control of the people and government goes to his chosen leader, the Sultan. It's holy city is Jiddah.
Gathering of our New Lord - Those who follow the Gathering have a very simple belief, that the ultimate being is coming, one who will replace the Celestials and bring true peace and order to the world. One who will unite the people, and bring upon a new golden age. It has recently gained a large following in the northern nations. It's doesn't have a known holy city or any known holy sites.
Church of Illumination -The Church of Illumination, also known simply as the Church, is the oldest religion on Dorthithladh. The Church holds the belief that each constellation is its own divine being, and the Celestials are their prophets. It's holy city/site is the observatory, Ailianthum.
Tech Level:
Medieval, pre-firearms. Cannons do exist, though they are only used by the Trostian Republic, and even then aren't very mobile. And no magic.
Now.... The Rules
1. My word as OP is the law of the universe. My Co-Op's word is also law, unless I over rule it.
2. No Godmodding
3. I will allow up to three characters per RPer.
4. Like all my RPs, your character is not immortal, and can be injured and die.
5. Ain't no one the protagonist, so don't act like it.
6. Don't be a dick OOC.
7. Disputes should be handled via TG, if I see any disputes in the OOC I will find you.... And just warn your ass.
8. Three strikes yer out.
9. Post at least one paragraph. (No one liners, or two liners, or constant three liners)
10. Please listen to the APP restrictions/instructions.
11. Have fun, and enjoy the world
People to Respect and Fear
Faal Lot Himdah (FLH) - OP
Charlia - Co-Op, head of the department of severed heads.
App Restrictions/Instructions
1. No demons. You can be a Celestial or a regular human.
2. No Zodiac. You can not be a member of the Zodiac, unless you get permission from me after providing a good reason to why you should be allowed. (I'll accept a 1,000 word essay by the way.)
3. One power. Celestials get one power related to their constellation. So no fire breathing Aquarius. If your Celestial form has wings, it can fly in that form, same applies for things like wings.
4. No OP powers. If I believe it needs to be nerfed, be ready to nerf it.
5. Make the app look pretty. Don't write in bold, delete parentheses, spoiler that bio. No removing things from the app, but feel free to add. Also, I prefer images. So use images if possible.
6. I know some people like to post WIP apps, but.... Please only post completed apps. If you do it because you don't want to lose progress, there is a little thing called Save Draft, I would recommend making use of it. I will not deny you for posting incomplete apps, but I would recommend you don't.
7. If you are going to use a theme song, please provide a YouTube link and a SoundCloud link.
