Apocalypse
Plot:
The year as we know it, 2050. The location, planet Earth:
Life is not what it used to be. Things used to be so much more simple. Virtual reality, self driving cars, nanotechnology, and so on, these used to be the most exciting things to talk about... not anymore.
In recent years, supernatural phenomena have become more commonplace, inexplicable to the scientific methods that we have come to rely upon so dearly. We used to think that technology could bring us together, maybe even bring an end to war and poverty. Little did we know, human innovation would be nothing in the face of divine chaos.
It all began with increased "ghost sightings" and "monster attacks". At first, these happenings were explained away as elaborate hoaxes or a new form of terrorism. In retrospect, that would have been much more preferable to the now accepted truth, "The world is ending. Reality as we know it is coming to a conclusion. And there is nothing we can do to stop it."
Good and evil now have shape. Legends and horrors from our childhoods have materialized. Future, past, and present have become one and the same. On one side, we have beings out to destroy all that is decent, the demons. On the other side, we find the angels, fighting the battle to preserve peace, happiness, and love. In the middle reside poor earthbound souls, trying to make sense of their new reality.
You must decide. Where does your alliance reside? Good or Evil? Will you fight? Will you flee? How will you survive in a world wrought in unimaginable catastrophe?
Welcome to your worst nightmare... or perhaps... your own dark playground.
The 3 Warring Sides
Angels:
Angels have been around since the beginning of time. They are shining beings of beautiful glory as well as the spirits protecting nature itself. They have disguised themselves as humans, gods, and magical creatures of ole.Demons:
If any legendary story was ever true, it was the one where a select few heavenly angels rebelled. They sought freedom from the archaic rules which bound them to their blind brethren. Demons are angels, corrupted, or enlightened, depending on who you ask. In-Between:
Then there are those that were born after the universe came to be. Bound by no rules, they were (and are to this day) free to choose. They are the humans, animals, and all that are sentient, without being destiny bound to the will of another. Getting Started
In order to get started, you will only need to complete three simple tasks:One, you must create a character based on the character sheet located within the character section of this RP. There is no need to await approval to begin posting, but beware, any characters stacked to be OP will be monitored. God modding is (like most RPs) HIGHLY frowned upon. PM me if this is happening, I will do my best to resolve the situation or get the offender banned (if extreme).
Two, you must find your writing partners. Read through the IC section carefully to find active users; then connect with them OOC or via PM to begin collaborating. This is a helpful bit of advice; random IC "jump-ins" can result in being ignored or the derailing of an ongoing plot.
Three, begin writing, and be consistent about it. If you do not post as your character IC for three weeks AND do not post OOC for one week, your character will be marked as inactive.
When a character goes inactive, anyone can kill off that character, even someone on the "same side". At that point, two people from the other two factions (one each) have one week IRL to battle for the soul of that inactive character. To battle for a soul, simply make an IC post in response to that character's death. After the week is up, I will roll dice using this site's dice mechanic. If no one responded in challenge, there is obviously no dice roll; the killer gets the soul.
Once you "have the soul of another character", you can bring that character back onto the battlefield as your minion. If it was your character who died, you'll have to create a new character if you wish to rejoin this RP.

Characters: Active and Inactive
Below is a list of all characters that have been created, organized by their faction allegiance. These will be links to the corresponding character sheet located within the Character section of the RP. Inactive characters will be listed underneath active characters:Demons
Balthazar: Status - Active
John Silverton: Status - Active
Aquilina: Status - Inactive (Now under John's control)
Lilith: Status - ActiveAngels
Achilles: Status - Active
Zaphiel: Status - Active
In-betweeners
Gerard: Status - Active
Margaret: Status - Active
Gretchen: Status - Active
Locations
At the top of all your IC posts, you should title with the name of a location. New locations can be added by anyone via the Character section of this RP. Locations can be any place imaginable, found anywhere within human history, folk lore, or even in the recesses of your own twisted mind. Locations become "controlled" by a faction when no one from another faction has posted in the location for over two weeks:Capitol City: Controlling Faction - N/A
Downtown: Controlling Faction - Demons
Slums: Controlling Faction - In-Betweeners
Q&A
Bellow, I will link to questions that have been asked of me OOC. Hopefully sharing these helps:"Technology" "Angel and Demon Clarification" "Magic"
In depth look at magic.
How does death work? What happens to the soul?
