Humanity is on the brink of extinction. It has been four months since the opening of Elysium, a box many believed was the answer to one of the greatest questions in the world; Is there truly a God?. So-called prophets spoke out, claiming that should the box ever be opened, the rapture would begin and those who had not repented for their sins would go to hell. As usual, they were disregarded, ignored like madmen and women. But, little did the world know, they weren't to far off from the truth because in scribed in old Hebrew, was a phrase, or better yet, a warning.

SHALL THIS BOX, SEALED BY MICHAEL, THE GENERAL OF THE ANGELS HIMSELF, BE OPENED, THE WORLD SHALL PLUNGE INTO DARKNESS AND DESPAIR, AGONY AND PAIN, FEAR AND DEATH.

However, no one had heeded this warning and opened it to examine what it contained. Unfortunately, what it contained were the gates to Hell itself. The gates were now unlocked and all but in the matter of one day, Jerusalem fell. Slowly and surely did the Middle East began to fall until it was all but covered in darkness shortly followed by Eastern Europe and Asia. Slowly did the legions of hell begin to make their way across the lands of Europe enveloping towns, cities and countries. Armies could not penetrate their ranks. Guns and cannons could only do so much but unknown to the people of the world, a powerful group, all who thought disbanded, laid in the shadows, awaiting the time they would be needed again and this would be the time. The Vatican congregated and agreed that now was the time to act. The church bells begun to ring, seven hundred and seventy-seven times. The sounds of these bells would be heard by the other churches as they too would begin to ring theirs. Calls had been made across the world and told that the time had come to step out of the shadows and into the light. It wasn't until the Battle for Blackforest did anyone believe that humanity would survive. It would be the largest battle for civilization in the history of the world. Just as they were losing hope, the sounds of drums and horses echoed through the battlefield. For on this day, 10,000 men, riding horses and wearing shining suits of armour, brandishing swords and shields, axes and hammers, bows and arrows with a flag adorning the Templar cross flapping wildly in the wind, charged into the fray and begun fighting, seeming to swiftly bring down the hordes of darkness with minimal effort. It was on this day, that humanity regained some kind of hope.

So...You will be apart of this group of Templar, hoping to return the darkness from once it came. The start of the RP will take place at the turning point, The Battle for Blackforest. From there I don't know, I will get there when it's time.

So there will be a few rules for obvious reasons but I find them fair.

1: Respect the rules of RPG. This is the first commandment and shall be abide by. Breaking these rules (including the ones below depending severity) result in termination of your character in the dumbest way I can (like, say, an arrow to the knee).

2. GM team has final say. Always. However, I am open to ideas and suggestions to better enhance the experiences of the players.

3. One-lining not acceptable. Two lining isn't either. In fact just write two paragraphs. Beware the gore; yes, it's allowed but don't overdo it. I really do not want to come under fire by the moderators. xD

4. Consistency is KEY!!!! I expect you to be able to post AT THE VERY LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I will also reward players with either better equipment, higher ranks or (when I DO implement it) divine abilities. I am on pretty consistently so if you need to go or something happened IRL, just give me a buzz either in OOC or PMs. Don't need to tell me why because...privacy but I do expect a notice that you will be absent. Otherwise arrow to the knee death.

5. No goddmodding, powerplaying or making shit up in the IC . Characters WILL die. No one is safe, not even my own. I never had the chance to kill a character so I'm hoping that I can. Also this doesn't mean that if your character dies you're done. I encourage and highly recommend multiple characters for this very reason. Also we're all human, I intend to make this as realistic as possible (minus the demon hell bullshittery)

6. Play nice. I want you all to have fun. There is no reason you shouldn't.

So there are going to be factions to this RP such as defferent types of Templar Knights and such (I am also aware that some may basically be the same thing or ARE the same thing but I don't care xD). So lets get into them.

Answers to some possible questions:

- Yes, this is of modern day. Cars, iPhones and what not
- Yes, The Orders use medieval weapons and armour that is forged and blessed by the Vatican.
- Maybe guns will be added later but not right now
- I may also add in "true" Nephilim people who have divine powers but this is only if we get passed a certain part
- If you have ideas or suggestions pm them to me with the topic "Fear No Evil Suggestion" or "FNE Suggestion"

Waiting for approval.

Waiting for approval.

Hider [+]

Darrieux Marius Abandonato

Alias: The Ulcerist
Age: 39
Height: 173.1 CM
Weight: 75 KG
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Dark brown, receeding and balding, formed in a combover
Build: Lean and wiry, arms unproportionately long in comparison to the rest of the body, even reaching beneath the knee Is he part orangutan? jk
Marks: Wet, sensitive sores all over the face - slightest irritation makes them inflame and weep. Unsightly flagellation scars on the body.
Faction: [Not sure, actually. Maybe EPOD?] EPOD would sound like his type of group. Consider them the fanatics but highly trained and devoted to the cause.
Bio: Born in a highly religious and traditional family of immigrants in rural France. Raised in the strictest atmosphere of piety, humility, honest hard work and regular disciplinary beatings. Only at the age of six, discovered that sleeping, for most people in the world, requires an actual separate piece of furniture called a "bed". Once taken away by child protection services and adopted, never managed to readjust - public school and the behavior of people there was a horrible disaster and a grave insult to all the bestest christian virtues instilled into him by the biological parents. Attempts at arson were unsuccessful, but therapy was - or so the loving and dedicated adoptive parents thought. Things went downhill at the age of nine, when he suffocated his foster brother with a pillow after catching him masturbating. Went into hiding afterwards. Picked up by an operative of the Order investigating a string of vicious murders of prostitutes and drug dealers in the gutters of Marseille. There, he finally fit in. Training and trials were undertaken with infinite dedication and readiness. In active duty since the age of 14.

Personality: Fanatically devoted to the Cause. Deeply religious in all the wrong ways - which makes him ready to sacrifice anyone and anything for the sake of the Order. His deep and earnest belief in the scriptures, his piety and his disgust and fear and hate of all things impure would become serious emotional handicaps and insecurities if he would've been raised in a normal family - but the Order took great care tempering, strenghtening and empowering his belief and his devotion. Thus, mental instability and potential weakness was reforged into a great suit of mental armour of arrogance and fanaticism. In the name of all that is good and holy, Darrieux has no doubts, no inhibitions and no limits - if work of the Order requires horrible atrocities commited dishonorably and without any chances, he'd gladly fulfill the request, possibly condemning himself to posthumous damnation - of course, not without carefully considering whether this task is worth the good it'll bring eventually.

Weapons: A garrote woven from the hairs of fair Absalom, son of David. The thick, rough strands absolutely can't be torn, do not burn, and, once touching the neck of a victim who has commited even a single sin against the God ("I'm fine with the hairs of fair Absalom and whatnot but it should still be capable of being destroyed as will any weapon. However, later on I will add divine powers so that this will be allowed. ^^), entwine around their throat with supernatural force, depriving the wicked of the first gift God has given to the first man - the breath of life. An arming sword of carbon steel, utilitarian and without any embellishments. A small arsenal of various firearms(I am not allowing firearms right away. If anything they will be given later on.), in order to smite the sinners from afar, in the image of God striking down those that deny him.

Armor: Concealed carry bulletproof vest, the best money can allow. Whenever order requires his sword-hand at the battlefield, he comes clad in a set of hi-end riot gear, painted with all colours of the rainbow, just like the shirt of great Joseph.

left a few comments in red not complaining to much about him just two things.

Edit: forgot to mention that the riot armour won't work. As stated the orders use medieval armor so if you can change that then that'll be great

@FallenTrinity
How religious are we supposed to be? Like... do we have to be home grown warriors of the faith or could we be guys that had promise and were recruited?

@Ghost Queen

For the rp itself it's mostly people of the church ranging from deacons to bishops and volunteer clergymen and women. The EPOD are made of all religions. You can also just be like a freemason who answered the call but keep that in your background.

I wouldn't doubt that there would be some who were skeptical about religion or flat out atheist but if you want to go in that direction I dont mind just be sure to explain their reaction to the events that unfolded and whatnot and why they decided to join.

Hopefully that helps you out ^^

@FallenTrinity
Oh yes, some questions about that. The game is set in the real world, right? Literally every armed force except for these knights has high-tech gear such as proper armour, firearms, vehicles, whilst templars fight with medieval arms and protection?

Reporting in and reserving a spot ^_^

@Keksalot
Something about holy blessings or another, I'm just taking it as an excuse to fight demons in the present.

@Ghost Queen

Accepted and I really like him. Interested in him being a captain of the Teutonic knights?

@FallenTrinity
I'd be cool with that.

@Ghost Queen

Awesome! Move em to the C's tab if you haven't already

@FallenTrinity

I actually changed some things from the one I posted so, here you go again.

@Polaris North

@FallenTrinity

Thanks.

@Rogue Colm
