Fear No Evil
"For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer"
Romans13:4
Romans13:4
Overview
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.
Rules
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.
Factions
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

- 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
