Since the creation of Man, there have been two forces constantly at war with each other, good and evil. In the Dark Times, there was the Order of the Fallen, a merciless gathering of Men with tainted souls and hearts of black. All they wanted was see was the return of the Dark One, who had promised them eternal bliss for their work. They received what they were promised, but the Dark One's idea of bliss was not what they expected. They were transformed into vicious monsters and rampaged throughout the mortal world, releasing chaos.
However, the Roman King Cesar would not stand for this. Turning to the power of the Gods of Olympus, he pleaded for an answer to the madness. The answer was given. Mortal men were given the powers to defeat the Dark One's monsters; given the powers of Olympus. They repelled the threat, but never saw their true defeat. The monsters were never to be seen again, but mortal man knew that one day, the evil would return again, so the newly formed Roman League stood ready for their return, should that ever be.

The Italian Countryside
"Authorities are baffled by the amount of violence demonstrated here. This entire church with nearly 100 attendees was slaughtered. The bodies were apparently torn apart and little remains of them. The only lead authorities have is a strange message on the wall that says "Nullis deus spem non".
The television the broadcast was on was then turned of. A man in a green jumpsuit with a combover hairstyle lit a cigar. "So, after so long, you've returned. I've been waiting for this day." He then took out a dusty old book. It was brown and had a strange symbol on it. Opening it, the man turned over to a page that foretold the return of the demons. Reading over, there was also a part about the return of the chosen few who were blessed with the powers of Olympus. After reading, he turned on the building's intercom and called his right-hand to the office.
"You summoned me, Masked Hero?" the more formal second asked. "Yes, I did, Penagrov, and don't call me that. My days of heroism are over." Masked Hero, now referred to by Alexander, answered. "My apologies sir. How rude of me. It seems so long ago we fought against the demonic forces." Penagrov commented. Alexander took another smoke of his cigar. He too wished to return to his glory days, but they were over. "That's actually why I called you in here, Paladin." Alexander began. Paladin still answered to his alternate identity. "I suspect that our foes have rised again. This time, stronger than ever. Man has forgotten that these demons still lurk in the darkness, ever unaware that they have returned." Paladin was shocked to hear the news. "What do you suggest we do?" he asked. "Simple." Alexander answered. "The Romans knew that the evil would return, but good would return as well. With the return of demons, Angels will return as well." Paladin was confused. "Alexander, are you suggesting that we get our old "team" back together? They gave in to their power. They became corrupt. Is that not why you retired?" Alexander sighed. "Do not remind me. It's why no one is trusted with immortality anymore. I'm suggesting that maybe there are new chosen ones. The select few given new abilities to vanquish the dark forever." Alexander said hopefully. Paladin dusted off his shoulders. It was good to see the Roman League back in action. "Orders sir?" he asked. " Find the new servants of Olympus, and bring them here." Alexander ordered.
This RP takes place in Italy. Since man has forgotten the monsters that lurk in the night,the Order of the Fallen has returned to bring the world into Hell.
For gameplay, everyone will be able to have up to two powers and one Super Move. The Super Move is a powerful skill your character possesses that they cannot use on a regular basis. Let's say your character has a rock theme. Well, they can have a Super Move that allows them to cause an earthquake. If your character has a water theme, they can start a tsunami. However, they will cost a Madness Level to rise. Every character has a Madness Level max of ten. Each time you use your Super Move, you increase your ML. It reduces by two every second post. However, if it reaches ten, you're chsracter will be consumed by insanity until the level returns to 0. If it exceeds ten, it will not go back down until your character is willingly baptized in Holy Water.
As for factions, everyone is allowed to break off the main two and form their own. However, you'll need to first have NPC followers and at least 1 other player in your faction before you can create an app for one. This is to prevent coalition spam and to prevent this from becoming a contest of who can spam the most NPCs.
That being said, have fun. I'm also very lieneint when it comes to app acceptance. There is no faction application. You just post here asking for it to be put up in the OP and provide some details about it.
