10 Little Gods came together to shine,
One hid in his shadow and now there are nine.
One was a traitor, their mere presence bait,
A lone killer rode into town and then there were eight.
One's own father carried his secrets to heaven,
From his madness there were seven.
One's blood pooled into pit's,
A vampire touch and then there were six.
One lost his very will to be alive,
His wish was granted and then there were five.
One's heart was rotted to the very core,
Her savior came and then there were four.
One's mind left him to be whomever he be,
A bullet helped the decision and then there were three.
Only three Gods left,
One died on the run,
The killer was killed,
And then there was one.
Rage is a fun little topic, isn't it? Religiously its both a sin of destruction and tool for creation, it's sanctity is often over and under whelmed in lore. Sometimes the hero is tasked with overcoming rage and not killing any enemy, while other times results in throwing caution to the wind and killing everything in sight.
So apply that to an already suicidal, experienced, and dangerous group of internationally feared warriors and you've arrived at the current status of the Almost Gods.
Most are considered missing in action after the assault on their campus, led by the Catholic Church, and the only ones we explicitly know are alive are quite possibly dead. Ralevon, the former headmaster and only remaining full Almost God member, is cut off from his allies, in charge of the best and brightest of his former school, and full of Rage. A base, set up in a former bomb shelter in northern Italy, is they're only refuge. A fact they aim to change in one foul swoop.
On the flip side of that coin, the group of students who were left in Paris are having.......less luck. After discovered looking about the wreckage by a government task force specifically designed to counter beings such as they, the group was taken into custody and sent to a containment facility in Western Russia to await interrogation and torture.
Welcome back everybody, we're back and better than ever! After finishing off last season with a, quite literal, bang, the cast is in dismay. Ralevon, faced with a mounting body count that were once his students has turned his eyes to the Vatican, the people who forced he and his own out of their home and into the sights of madmen like Anton. He's also begun hiring mercenaries, volunteers, old war friends, and prisoners to his cause, thus resulting in our ability to introduce new characters.
We'll have a brief moment right after the blast at the beginning before jumping a month ahead once the IC is up.

The Essence
The religious cosmology of the universe is complex, with many pantheons of Gods co-existing alongside each other. It includes elements from multiple religions, mythologies, and modern concepts. Yet there is a being that seems to exist outside of both mortal, and godly bounds: The Essance. A seemingly omnipotent, and omnipresent, Creator figure who, actually, regularly visits the mortal plane. It takes many forms, men, women, non binary, animals, chairs, yet always promotes a feeling of utter peace and calm when encountered. It's said to have been sighted hundreds of times, the only reoccurring theme being the color red being intwined with the situation. So, to recap, the God of this universe is all powerful, incredibly involved in its creations, and may or may not appear in the form of a schnauzer before giving you fatherly advise about a girl or some shit.
