Chapter 1: IC
Chapter 2: IC
Chapter 3: IC
In the year 2020, the world continued as normal. Children were born, people died, wars were fought, laws were passed; nothing of extreme consequence occurred. However, Heaven was about to invade.
For many eons, god had been preparing his forces to destroy the world of men. Recently, mankind had successfully rebelled against his will, creating a world wherein god was seen as a dead relic from the past, a figurative tyrant created by primitive persons whose puny minds had no understanding of the laws of science. Moreover, there was no such thing as the spiritual realm, for all was material. This created a stir within Heaven, and Heaven’s god decided to punish these worthless humans for their rejection of his ways.
Late that year, a large number of respected persons, from renowned politicians and businessmen to the most brilliant of scientists, began having visions of angels. In these visions, they were granted prophecies about the destruction of the material world by the wrath of god. No evidence could be gained to prove that these visions were anything other than the imaginations of those beholding them, but man’s belief in the purely material realm was shaken. Gnostic cults emerged with these visionaries as their prophets, proclaiming to unbelievers that they must renounce the material world if they are to become pure in spirit and achieve divinity. As the visions continued to increase in number, these cults grew alongside them.
In 2021, their leaders suddenly declared the union of their cults into one grand religion: Ira Die. This group, lorded over by thirteen prophets (named “Elohim”, or “Gods” in English), began proselytizing on a massive scale. Soon enough, their religion encompassed twenty-five percent of the world’s population. As a result, they became a powerful force within the governments and societies of mankind, directing the world toward the acceptance of the spiritual realm and the rejection of the material realm.
It was in that year that several teens and young adults in Seattle, Washington, began having their own dreams: dreams of Demons. These Demons told them of Lucen, the creator god of this world. They were told that Ira Dei was the hand of Heaven’s god on this Earth, and that they would attempt to destroy all of humanity and the material universe very soon. Therefore, Lucen had chosen these teenagers to be the universe’s saviors (whom he called the Illumined Ones, or Illuminati), and destroy Ira Dei. To aid them in their upcoming war, they were given the help of Demon familiars to grant them supernatural abilities.
In recompense for the use of demonic power, they had to come to Chimera Tower, a massive skyscraper in the heart of Seattle. There they would meet with Lucen’s prophet: Balaam. This man would guide them on their journey to destroy Ira Dei and save the world.
Character Death
As a basic rule of thumb, your character will not die unless you have given your express permission for it to. Moreover, when two players' characters are fighting each other, you must agree beforehand both on who wins, and the damage done to both sides.
Some extra rules:
Once you say your character has died, he has died. No getting around it (unless one of my NPCs resurrects them, but I'll save that for later).
Also, if your character pulls off some ass-holed stunt, you better believe he's gonna get hurt, whether you like it or not. So, if you attack Lucen, Balaam, or a Seraph, know that your character is totally screwed.
Moreover, if your character continuously godmods, I'll kill it off immediately. That is that.
RP Rules
1. As the OP, whatever I say goes. This is not to say that I don't want you to voice your ideas or opinions about the story, or to give me help in shaping it. Rather, I have the ultimate say.
2. Obey the CO-OPs (Imperial--Japan, The Templar High Council). Only I can contradict someone with that awesome authority.
3. No one-liners, at all. Remember, quality is most often better than quantity.
4. No godmodding.
5. If you are leaving the RP, please notify me in the OOC or through TG.
6. If a player is absent for 2 days without notifying the OP, their character will be taken over by the OP or Co-OP until the player returns. If a player is absent for more than 7 days without notifying the OP, their characters will be killed and the player will be booted out of the RP.
7. Most importantly, don't be a jack-ass. Treat everyone with the same respect that you want them to give you. If you cause too much trouble, I'll shove my combat boot so far up your ass that you'll be coughing up rubber for the next week (basically, I'll ban you permanently from this rp).[/spoiler]
