IN EVERY ANGEL, A DEMON HIDES // AND IN EVERY DEMON, AN ANGEL STRIDES




Like a low hanging blanket of smoke, the sky hung above the dingy, monochrome city streets. The half gloom of evening coated with the darkened clouds gave an effect of artificial night that made lethargy seem to waft in the air.

The stark, bright cone of artificial blue-white from the detective's flashlight shone in rude contrast to the world around it. Clutched in the man's hand, and aimed down towards where the ruddy pavement met with the chipped brick of a wall, the light illuminated a scene of crimson gore and pale flesh.

"What the hell are those markings?" A policeman said, his face twisting with equal parts morbid curiosity and horror.

On the body--or what was left of it--an intricate, yet brutally animalistic pattern had been carved. The fact that the wounds had not bled meant that they had been completed postmortem. This fact did nothing however to detract from the state of pure agony the dead woman's face had masked itself into upon her passing.

The detective with the flashlight knelt, his mouth yet sealed to the question posited by the policeman. As he drew nearer the body, his nose was assaulted by the metallic smell of congealed blood.

He had seen this before, not long after he had first joined the force. The intricate amalgamation of drawn, puckered skin aligned with a precise and malicious ability with a blade. And, he knew now, as he had learned then, that the police were to be mere spectators to a horror that had only just reached it's inception.

My keyboard is ready.



Current Character Concept: Sal is a mostly-human hedge mage focused on the magical schools of mysticism and conjuration. Following an LSD-fueled journey through the Astral Plane, she has acquired an army of tiny, vaguely monstrous, rowdy, and drunken creatures that largely follow her commands. The creatures are led by a warlord, Gir the Mighty, and appear to be on the cusp of establishing a proper, if exceedingly violent, miniature society.

I'm working on my character as well. I'm deviating slightly from typical lore in not having him act as a pure mindless monstrosity, and not fully committed to these exact details, but my basic concept is as follows :

Ahanu is a Native American who found himself trapped in a cave-in, ate his tribe to survive & became a Wendigo. Spent the last 300+ years searching for a cure for his curse, which is how he found his way into the services of B&H. However, B&H aren't sure they want him cured due to his utility.

Tenuous alliance, as I'm imagining it.

I'm super excited that all of you are excited! Makes me proud, for sure. If you sent me a PM today, I'll get back to you as soon as I can--work killed me, and I'm exhausted. I want to give you all the time a reply deserves, so I'll save them for tomorrow. Catch you all later!

Sorry I've been away. Real life just sometimes kicks your ass...

At any rate, thank you all for getting to work on some great characters. However, I'd really appreciate it if the CS's were submitted to me first before you post them. I am totally fine with general discussion of your character, and what you intend to pursue, in the OOC.

I'll have my own character up soon. Hope you all are having a great day!

My bad. I'm a dummy and somehow didn't even see the orange text explicitly stating that request.

Whoops!

I'm alive, crazy week, but finally Friday.

Will probably post a CS in the early morning/lunch times.


A CS is posted below, I will have to make some proofreading changes, but as I'm heading for the evening I wanted to throw my hat into the ring at last.

@Hour Error-I like Sal. You're welcome to go ahead and post her in the Character section.

@Clumsywordsmith-Thanks for posting Nestor!

I'm waiting on a couple more CS's, but I've started on the opening post nonetheless. I'm stoked to write with you all.

About halfway through writing my opening posts. With any luck, they should be up in a few hours or so. Just a quick note that there is no posting order, just a general commonsense feel for replies. If you want to work with any of your fellow players on formulating any associated backstory between your characters, I highly encourage it. That kind of thing is always fun, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, hope everyone is having a happy Monday!
