"The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they become something more. See if they can work together when we needed them to. To fight the battles that we never could."

June 20th, 2016. We thought that we faced our deadliest foe that day. Walter Hanson, a disillusioned witch, rose Lucifer from Hell in order to bring about the end of days. Ordinary citizens and skilled hunters fought against the devil, with only a handful managing to live to tell the tale. The rest were buried in Owen's Field, if they were lucky enough to have their bodies found. The blood soaked into the ground, creating a permanent scar on the face of the Earth.

How foolish we were to think that it was all behind us.

As O.M.E.N. (the Organization for the Methodical Eradication of Necromantics) chased Hanson across the country, something ancient began to stir. Hel, the Norse Goddess of Death, was imprisoned by the Judeo-Christian deities ages ago. With the demon Mephistopheles seeking revenge against those who killed his master, Lucifer, Hel persuaded the demon to join forces with her. Their plan was simple: kill those who would oppose them and from the ashes of this world, build a better one.

Mephistopheles began to kill survivors of the Altsoba Massacre, those who had opposed Lucifer, such as Trevor Martin. He murdered the leaders of O.M.E.N. in such a fashion that would draw the most qualified hunters to Coventry, Massachusetts. It was a trap intended to slaughter them - and for the most part, it succeeded. Less than five of those who opposed Lucifer are still alive - that we know of.

Yet Hel triumphed as well. Mephistopheles imprisoned a kumakatok, preventing the kumaktok from doing what it must. These death spirits must always perform their function - there is no alternative. For a kumakatok to not manage their duties...it is a paradox, a cruel reversion of reality. It ripped holes into reality, scattering innocent victims across time and space, and released a Mullo. More importantly, it destroyed the cage that housed Hel, as her cage was made out of the fabric of reality.

Now free, Hel has already begun to slaughter the brave souls who stand against her. With the wolf Fenrir and the traitor Aloise Zamora by her side, all she needs is to acquire her cloak, banihylja. Her cloak will increase her powers exponentially, leaving humanity with the choice of kneeling to Hel or dying at her feet.

Will you stand against Hel? Or will you bow to the Goddess of Death? A team of remarkable individuals has been assembled in order to stop her. This odd company, including hunters, nephilim, fallen angels, and former Kings of Hell, is all that stands in Hel's way. The fate of the Earth rests in their hands. No, I am mistaken...

It rests in your hands.

Project S.P.I.T.F.I.R.E. was one of O.M.E.N.'s first initiatives once they became a legitimate government agency. Its goal was to create shelters in each state to allow high ranking government officials to survive a potential necromantic attack. There was talk of creating public shelters but...bureaucracy. Construction had been completed on three bunkers: one in New Mexico, one in Pennsylvania, and one in Texas, until Project S.P.I.T.F.I.R.E. was shut down and replaced with a new initiative.

Thanks to the presence of several O.M.E.N. operatives and an MI13 agent, these bunkers are yours to use. They are fully stocked with a six months supply of food, weapons for 20 field agents, and housing for thirty two. Anti-magic, anti-demon, and anti-angel sigils are permanent fixtures on the walls of the bunkers. For a necromantic to enter the facility, they must use the prisoner entrance. This entrance is the only one where the sigils should ever be removed. Once the necromatic is inside, the sigils must be restored.

These most impressive feature of these complexes, believe it or not, would be their libraries. These libraries contain original copies of important supernatural texts. Knowledge is power, and while we have not fought Hel before, perhaps there are some clues to be found amongst those old books. They're real page turners, after all...

According to O.M.E.N., a being with supernatural and inhuman capabilities is called a necromantic. This can range from enhanced humans, such as Steve Rogers, all the way to the most darkest and complex of creatures, such as Azrael, the Angel of Death. And while this term is used in most government documents, there are other terms that are more specific and demonstrate improved understanding of the situation. The universe is a strange one, one that we can hardly understand.

In 2016, any and all powers and abilities were simply referred to as deviances. If someone was perhaps a little odd, in that they could see things that others could not, perhaps that they could heal with a single touch, or that they were immune to flames, they were said to have a deviance. Years after the Altsoba Massacre, this definition would be revoked and revised, as we will realize that it is simply more complicated than that.

Deviances refer to (often) extraordinary abilities that distinguish someone from the average human. While these can be small things, such as a sixth sense when it comes to healing and knowing what is wrong with the patient, it can be as dramatic as pyrokinesis. There is currently no method of explaining why some people gain a deviance and others do not, however.

Creatures

We are not alone in this world by any means. The creatures included here are those encountered thus far in the Abandoned Hope Universe, either directly or by simply mentioning them. As you'll notice, not all of them have complete information. Those indicated by an asterisk are ones that only those with extensive knowledge of necromantics (creatures, in this case) will be aware of. Some of those included below have more details than others. All that means is there is more to learn and discover in future roleplays~

• Angels:*
  • Highest order immortal.
  • They require their host's permission for possession.
  • To fall, an angel must rip out their grace, an incredibly painful process.
  • Fallen angels are reborn as humans, yet are still able to hear the thoughts of angels around them. This is sometimes called 'angel radio.'
  • Angels are capable of astral projection and can appear in dreams.
  • They can manipulate electrical appliances, often destroying them when they appear.
  • Angels can find any human, provided said human does not have protective sigils.
  • They are capable of reality warping, telekinesis, telepathy, flight, voice mimicry, protective charms, pyrokinesis, healing, and terrakinesis.
  • Angels can smite almost any being with a simple touch.
  • They are sensitive to distortions in time.
  • Powerful angels are capable of biokinesis, memory manipulation, soul reading, power negation, hypnotism, and the use of a holy white light that serves as an energy blast.
  • Holy Fire will kill an angel, though it will only banish an archangel.
  • Hexbags and sigils can be used to prevent angels from tracking/finding a particular person.
  • The anti-christ can destroy an angel.
  • An angel blade can kill an angel. Only an archangel's blade can kill an archangel.
• Archangels:*
  • Some of the first born angels, there are a limited number of them.
  • They are advanced immortals.
  • Each archangel has a specific purpose, a role to play in the cosmic scene.
  • Archangels are tasked with protecting Prophets of the Lord.
  • Known archangels include Sariel, the Archangel of Guidance, and Lucifer, the Morning Star.
  • Similarly to angels, archangels also must have permission in order to possess an individual.
  • Archangels have all of the abilities of angels.
  • Archangels are also capable of thermokinesis, electrokinesis, molecular combustion, shapeshifting, weather manipulation, terrakinesis, and mental manipulation.
  • Archangels have the same weaknesses as angels.
• Death:*
  • An immortal being, ranking on the highest order of mortality.
  • Also referred to as the angel Azrael.
  • Death has the same weaknesses and abilities as other angels, in addition to wielding a powerful scythe capable of killing any being, even Death itself.
• Demons:
  • Highest order immortal.
  • Devil's Trap: prevents a demon from leaving
  • Holy Water: burns demons
  • Exorcism: There are several differently styles of this, but all of them remove the demon from the host. Some will send the demon to hell, others will force the demon to manifest itself so it can be killed or sent to hell permanently.
  • Flesh Sigil: If a sigil is carved into the host's flesh, the demon will be powerless
  • Ghosts: Ghosts can remove a demon from its host
  • Hallowed Ground: Some demons are unable to enter hallowed ground, such as churches. These tend to be the weaker ones.
  • Hex Bags: these can hide people from a demon
  • Holy Fire: Holy oil lit on fire, it roasts a demon.
  • Iron: Demons cannot cross an iron barrier or touch iron without extreme pain
  • Palo Santo: Stab the demon with this, the host smokes and the demon cannot move
  • Damaging the host may force the demon to choose a new host, or be slowed down
  • Purified Blood: This, when injected into a demon, is incredibly painful.
  • Salt: Demons cannot step over salt, pass a salt line, or touch salt. Touching salt results in (you guessed it) extreme pain.
  • Demons can be cured through the Demon Purification Ritual.
  • Demons can be killed by angel blades.
  • Demons will flinch and have their eyes turn black when the name of the Lord is spoken.
• Kumakatok:*
  • Children of Azrael, the Angel of Death.
  • Removal of a kumakatok's cloak will stun it, and if prolonged, kill it.
  • True death of a kumakatok requires burning of the cloak and will rip a permanent hole in the fabric of reality.
  • Unless the cloak has been burned, the kumakatok will be reincarnated in another form. If the cloak has been burned, Azrael must create a new kumakatok.
  • Kumakatok knock on the door of a person fated to die one day before.
  • Vulnerable to iron and salt.
  • There must always be three - two old men and one young girl.

  • The ability to use magic, as well as increased stamina and strength and invulnerability, are considered standard.
• Reapers:*
  • They have the same capabilities and weaknesses as angel.
  • Reapers can restore life to an individual and similarly, take life.

• Witches:
  • Near immortal--extremely long lifespan.
  • Witches can be taken down with iron.

    • Students: Through years of hard practice and training, they are able to manipulate magic and cast spells.

    • Telekinesis - this is the most common and easily accomplished one.
    • Concilium - also known as coercion or mind control.
    • Pyrokinesis
    • Divination
    • Transmutation - also known as teleportation and not to be confused with transfiguration.
    • Vitalum Vitalis - the giving or draining of life

Below is the character sheet required for the RP. Those of you from Abandoned Hope will notice that I've been generous when it comes to the amount of skills you can have. Please do not take advantage of this, and keep things realistic. The increased number of skills is designed to accommodate for knowledge gained since the Altsoba massacre, in order to prepare you for dealing with necromantics. Any deviances you have will also take up a skill slot, so please keep that in mind.

If you participated in Abandoned Hope, you'll be granted a reward for your character sheet upon joining. This might be a connection to an NPC, a clue, an extra skill, etc... I'll be rolling a dice to determine what happens there. Characters who were used in Abandoned Hope will need to keep all skills they had there, but there should be plenty of room for you to expand their skills as well ^_~

Keep this realistic, folks! Necromantics can be played only by those already playing a human character in the RP, with the exception of characters used in Abandoned Hope. For example, you wanna play a vampire? Cool. That can be your second character.

This RP is inspired by Rocky Horror Picture Show, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, American Horror Story, Supernatural, and Good Omens. However, any lore mentioned in the RP is the lore that exists. If you're interested as to how something might fit in, great. Send me a PM. But do not decide for yourself that it has to exist and add it in.

Also, this disclaimer was on Abandoned Hope. While the apocalypse is the Judeo-Christian one, I myself am an atheist. So, please be aware that things will likely not be biblically correct.
