"Hell is empty, and all the devils are here!"
"Before there was Creation, there were the Aeons, and the first of these was Lucifer." - The Angelic Bible, Chapter I
"And lo, the Wicked Two-Hundred made to descend to the Physical Plane created by Sophia and there they fornicated with mortal women, creating the first half-breeds, the Anakim, and the anakim had no paths, for they were never meant to exist. The roads of their fates unpaved, the mortals began to evolve, growing further from their roots of dust." - The Angelic Bible, Chapter VI "'Here me,' the Almighty cried, 'free will is no blessing but a curse! My Aeons, my beloved, so many of whom have fallen, shall always remain, but forevermore the new creations, my Angels, they shall have Fates I weave, like those of the mortal humans!'" - The Angelic Bible, Chapter VI "Lucifer still lays in wait for his chance to rule, and the sacred places of old shall fall into his gnarled hands. His demons, born of fiery dust, shall battle the humans, born of holy dust, and the Aeons and Angels shall begin to choose their sides. The Anakim will fall or rise. They have no road. They have no destiny. The Anakim will be pursued, it is long speculated, by Heaven and Hell and thus shall the War for Earth begin." - The Angelic Bible, Epilogue And that time has come. The Anakim, mortals born of both human and Angle/Aeon, will be tracked down and recruited as the only wild cards in the human race that can fight against the demons and fallen Angels/Aeons of Lucifer's domain. The last sacred place in America is the Black Hills of South Dakota, and the War has finally escalated into a race for the last battlefield. Who will win? The Heavenly legion of God-ruled Angels and ancient, fiery Aeons? The Hellish army of fallen Angels/Aeons and Lucifer's own blasphemous creations? Or the humbler hoardes of humans, fighting for their own turf? Or the Anakim - unguided, unwitting, and unmarked? For some clarification as far as the different types of being: Aeons - Aeons were the first of God's living Creations, perfection personified at first imagining, but due to their possession of free will, were capable of degression. Lucifer is an Aeon, as well as the major Archangels and the Wicked 200. All Seraphim are Aeons; none appeared after the initial Creation. Aeons are a little more powerful or influential than typical angels, but that comes mainly from their greater age. Angels - Angels are Creations more or less identical to the Aeons except for one major difference - the denial of free will. They essentially have to do what God wants them to. They have set paths, or Fates. Technically they are incapable of Falling, although there is one loophole; their free will is granted if they decide they truly and whole-heartedly no longer love God. (This isn't as simple as it sounds; even fallen Aeons still love God to a degree.) Fallen Angels/Aeons - Fallen angels/Aeons are like angels in every respect except that they reside in Hell. In the case of angels, they have also lost all faith in and love for God. Demons - Demons are beings blasphemously created by Lucifer out of the dust of Hell. He fashioned them after the Aeons, but they are utterly imperfect inside and out. Failed experiments, basically, but with feeble minds and wills of their own. The muscle of Hell, not the brains. All give undying fealty to Lucifer. Greater Anakim (or simply Anakim) - Anakim are the offspring of Aeonic (or angelic, but only fallen angels with free will can become human for short periods of time) fathers and mortal mothers, NEVER the other way around. (Don't worry, there's a good reaon for that.) Greater Anakim are simply the initial offspring of the Aeon/mortal. Anakim look purely human, but they have golden eyes. Lesser Anakim - Descendents of Greater Anakim. Look - and are - totally mortal/human, but sometimes certain traits carry along even thinned bloodlines. Most true modern-day psychics are descendants of Anakim spawned from the First Fall. Molechim (sing. Molech) - Lucifer's demonic masterpieces. They're human/Aeon-shaped, but covered in thick dark scales and have lots of small, sharply-pointed teeth. They are infamous for devouring children and are the original 'boogeymen'. Humans - Human. Set paths of Fate, but with free will as far as devotion or lack thereof to the Almighty. Rated R because a) violence should not have to be restricted and B) it's profoundly difficult sometimes to keep sex and theology out of eachother. I mentioned fornication once already, and I did not make that up. XD It's unlikely to come up, but again, no need for restriction. I will, of course, answer any questions because I'm sure I've confused somebody... CHARACTER SHEET: Name: (I'm not gonna be anal about this because that's rude, but a hint for angelic/Aeonic names - they tend to end in suffixes -iel, -el, or -ael, all meaning 'of God'. Little point of interest, traditionally, angels of iffy repute like Samael, Azrael, or Camael, tend to have -ael suffixes, but I think that's just coincidence. Sorry, etymology obsession kicking in, I'll stop. :P) Age: (human and Anakim only) Being: (angel, Aeon, demon, Anakim, Molech, human) Appearance: (include wing-type for angels and Aeons, both Heavenly and Infernal...as far as demons, go nuts, be as creative as you like - the uglier the better, lol...pictures are acceptable as well, I suppose) Personality: (a few key phrases is fine) Brief History: (or elongated, if you so desire...this is most important for Heavenly and Infernal angels/Aeons, as you might guess) I will request two things as far as characters go: Please do not be Lucifer, and as silly as it might sound but I've seen people try throwing it in before, PLEASE don't be Jesus...

Wow...that's a lot to keep in mind. Do you have limitations as to how many of each you'll let in the RP? I also think it sounds like there will be lots of Aeons or Fallen Angels xD

Considering Heavenly Aeons/Angels and Fallen Aeons/Angels are of the same stock, probably. XD Although, there'll probably be more Fallen Aeons than Angels, to be honest; it's so much harder for the younger Angels to Fall, for reasons already explained...
And it is kind of complicated, the way it all connects. Like I said, I didn't make a lot of it up. People throughout history have come up with this on their own, lol (except for the Molechim, which was a bit of a liberty I took, but that's a whole 'nother story...) I just think it's fascinating. I don't think it's that much to keep in mind once you get used to it, though. I mean, some things just work out fairly clearly on their own. It's not wise to get me started on this subject, though, I will go on for ages. :P Limits are for losers. I WOULD limit about 3 characters per person, mind, just because more than that per post is confusing. P.S. Character sheet template's on there now too.

I'm interested, but I think I might just be looking in the wrong place for the character sheet. Also, what sort of powers do a) angels/demons/aeons have, and b) can humans have? What sort of level, and all that? Just curious, since I'm wondering if we're dealing with like walking gods type aeons or more slight trick type magic.

I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth.

Char. Sheet's at the bottom of the first post. :P
As for your question...I'm...not entirely sure. as far as specific powers, that is. They are not ALL-powerful. They have their limits, although ability increases with age. Thus, Aeons, having been the very first creations, are pretty much the most powerful beings in existence bar, like, God. Lucifer, for instance, was able to create a veritable legion of demons using the dust of Hell, mirroring God's creation of Adam using earth. (Bear in mind, he was also the strongest Aeon, though.) Angels aren't as powerful, having been created quite a while after. They were intentionally limited on creation after the Aeon debacle. Both angels and Aeons are highly telepathic, using telepathy as the standard form of communication between one another. Humans have no powers. Lesser Anakim (great-great-great-grandkids, etc. of Anakim) may have some slight psychic capability, or something standard like telekinesis if it's a stronger or more recent strain. Greater Anakim may have some faint ability similar to those of angels or Aeons, as well as some telepathic capability, but it's not full. Their human blood hampers it. That help, I hope?

Name: Lucifer (Morning-Star, Daystar, Light-Bringer, Satan)
Being: Fallen Aeon (The only High Seraph to have made the infernal descent) Appearance: Lucifer has been seen so few that his appearance is generally a mystery. Human souls to have witnessed the light of the Morning-Star himself were subsequently blinded and he rarely allows even his own minions an audience in person, preferring to remain omnipotent in an insolent mirror to the Almighty. When seen, however, he is surrounded by a pure white light that has dimmed little since his great Fall in brightness although it now seems sickly and sullied, making hideous anything it touches. He is tall, about 6 1/2 feet, and very lean. His hair is waist-length, pin-straight, and whiter than a full winter moon. His skin, too, is very pale, although his hands have developed red, scabrous wounds almost like scales both from having touched the fire of Hell and from using his hands to attempt to recreate God's work in a grievous fit of blasphemy. His face is classically beautiful but dangerous and his eyes are very dark with very little white on the edges. His wings are unusually shaped, dividing about a quarter of the way from the joint into three section each, resulting in the appearance that, from the front, he has 6 wings. The feathers are long and tapered and were once a clean white but have been mostly singed black. Personality: Lucifer can be surprisngly charming when he wants to be, but he is very quick to anger. He's a bitter being, having seen his Fall as a grave misunderstanding and injustice. He's always been proud, but since the creation of Hell and the blasphemous births of the demons and Molechim, his pride has increased exponentially. He now deems himself to be God's equal, no longer his inferior. He is cunning, intelligent, and imagines himself as every inch the king of Hell. Brief History: Lucifer was the first of the Aeons to be created. As such, he is the eldest (in infintesimal angelic time) and the most powerful. He took great offense to the Almighty's creation of Adam, however, feeling that he was being usurped in God's affections. When God commanded all Aeons to bow before Adam, his 'most perfect creation', Lucifer refused. He felt that he should not be made to bow before a being inferior to him. What he told God was that he would not bow before Adam because he swore to bow only to God himself, but the Almighty either saw through the lie or didn't care, for Lucifer was cast from Heaven. He descended into Hell, which he promptly made his own, and vowed to cause strife amongst humans, now made his rivals. He even went so far as to instigate their expulsion from Paradise. Eventually as he saw humans beginning to thrive, he decided to try to create his own beings, better than those of God's. Using the dust of Hell as God used earth, he formed the imperfect demons and, once he got better at it, his masterpieces: the vicious Molechim. He still struggles, less for the overthrow of Heaven, than for the usupration of Earth. His bitterness is still heavily directed at God, but even more he despises the humans, God's favourites, and wants nothing more than to see them in their proper place - bowing to him.
