A war has ignited between three kingdoms within a mess of executions and accusations. Many other kingdoms have chosen to avoid any contact between the three main kingdoms with the decision to remain neutral for future or sake of themselves, leaving the three at heads with each other. The war has yet to grow, though it has at least been played off on a battle field at least once. What was the case that started it all?
Well, it's said that there was an assassin from the Kingdom of Gabriel hired to take out royalty from the Kingdom of Michael. The royals of Gabriel stated that they saw evil ready to overthrow the Kingdom of Michael through the throne. The kingdom had assassinated Michael's queen and king in order to prevent this from happening. Michael's new queen and king were willing to rage a war against the Kingdom of Gabriel, but another kingdom stepped in. The Kingdom of Raphael wanted to keep a peace treaty intact between the three kingdoms, and thus the kingdom became allies with the two. However, Raphael's king was discovered with such plans and was turned away as a liar and backstabber by both kingdoms.
The tension between the kingdoms rise day by day, however there is one kingdom that still remains. One kingdom that they thought their ancestors locked up for good, but this fourth kingdom sees its opportunity to take back its lost glory and more…
Species
In this world, the only humanoid creatures are angels, blessed humans, humans, cursed humans, and demons. Each of them varies due to their various abilities or where they come from. Below are the listings of all creatures along with their can-do’s and can’t-do’s.
Angels
The creatures admired by humans are born from either a heavenly spirit possessing a human’s body or descending from the sky. They are only on the lowest tier of the celestial hierarchy, being either angel or archangel.
They come with two abilities, one passive and another active, or two abilities which complement each other. A “passive” ability would be non-combative while an “active” ability would be the skill that can be activated, such as in combat. They can also bless humans if they see the human worthy of their blessing. When they bless a human, they give them a portion of one of their abilities. If they see their ability abused, they can revoke it. They can also bless demons, but blessing demons only hurts them. It does not leave a blessing for them. One angel can bless up to four different humans and no more than four.
Angels do not possess abilities that are destructive, but rather support, passive, or beneficial. An angel falls from grace - that is, to become a fallen angel - when they have sinned. To fall from a sin is to commit the act purely to commit it, with no intent to repent for what they have done.
Blessed Humans
When an angel blesses a human, they become a blessed human. Some blessed humans have marks, but others do not.
A blessed human is given an ability that is based off of the angel who blessed them, but it’s only one of an angel’s two abilities. This ability is like an angel’s: it is defensive, supportive, or beneficial. They are typically welcomed by their own kin but can be treated the same as any ordinary human.
If a blessed human abuses their ability, the angel who blessed them has the right to take it away, thus making them human. When a blessed human is blessed by another angel, they are given a new ability. If a demon curses a blessed human, they lose their ability and receive their new destructive ability. Abilities do not stack and the newest blessing or curse will replace the previous.
If an angel dies without spiritual or physical remains, the blessed human will lose their ability over time.
Humans
Plain and simple humans are beloved by angels and demons. They are untouched by blessing or curse and lack natural magical abilities. In a world full of magical creatures, they can be considered weak physically. They are blank slates truly, but they make up the majority of the world. Even though they do not have the benefits that blessed and cursed humans get, they are the best users for enchanted weapons because their neutral power can bend to evil or good.
Cursed Humans
When a demon curses a human, they become a cursed human. They may have a mark to show that they are cursed, but not all cursed humans have this mark.
The selected human is given an ability that is based off of the demon who cursed them. However, it can only be one of their abilities. Just like a demon’s, it is destructive or chaotic. Since cursed humans carry this sort of power, they are ousted by a number of humans. Not all humans greet them with their hostile nature.
A cursed human does not lose their curse by a demon taking it away. Demons are satisfied with the human remains cursed because it can either destroy them or others. A cursed human can receive a new curse, but the new curse will eliminate the current curse. An angel’s blessing can also take a curse away from a human while making them blessed.
If a demon dies without spiritual or physical remains, the cursed human will lose their ability over time.
Demons
Feared by all sorts of humans alike, a demon is born by being a fallen angel or ascending from the depths of the abyss. These demons are not part of the high-and-mighty club; however their strength is not to be underestimated.
They have two abilities that come as one passive and one active, but their two abilities can also be complimenting each other. A “passive” ability would be non-combative while an “active” ability would be the skill that can be activated, such as in combat. They can also curse humans, but can only curse up to four at a time.
They do not revoke or take away abilities, seeing that there’s no purpose in doing so. They assume a human will crumble or destroy everything around them with their ability. Their cursing ability can also be used on angels; however it will only hurt the angel. They are not cursed by this. A demon possesses abilities that are destructive and useful for corruption. Often, demons do not become angels, or even humans. Once they have become a demon, they never go back. It’s an unheard story, but the possibilities are endless.
Roles
In a kingdom, it is important to know your place and duty. Those who serve under the main titles of royalty are to address their superiors approximately. A warrior who refers to a king by his pure name is considered rude. It Is polite for a maid to refer to the princess with her full title such as, “Princess Annabelle,” or something along those lines. It is also necessary to know what you do in your place and the other roles that you can complement for.
King and Queen
The heads of the kingdom, they are the leaders and representatives of their kingdom. They deal with warfare and politics to keep the kingdom at ease and do their best to keep prosperity intact. However, not all rulers are kind like this. A king or queen can rule however they like, but revolution may form when the people find the proper time.
Usually, the kingdoms run by royalty and pass down from one generation to the next, though a child must be sixteen or older to take the throne. If the ruling family is no more, the kingdom’s throne is passed down by the strongest army member or the richest ruler. When a kingdom is absent of king or queen, the eldest of princes and princesses take the seat as the king or queen. This only depends on their age and not their gender.
While the roles of king and queen are politically involved and warfare-entangled, they are also highly-respected when they are great or powerful leaders. A king or queen who has combat ability can also serve as a knight, warrior, or bishop, but to enter the field gives various responses. It can be great for morale or frowned upon by many who die in their name.
Prince and Princess
The leaders of the future, these children and taken-in youths of the king and queen are trained day by day on how to be a fit ruler. They are trained in every field of the king and queen’s choice. Once they are sixteen, they are able to become king and queen, and this is the time when they are court-able by the world of the king or queen.
The eldest of either prince or princess steps up to take the throne when the king or queen is absent while the rest of the siblings await as princes and princesses. During this stage, a prince or princess can learn much from knights, warriors, and bishops when given the free-time or by the request of the king and queen. Princes and princesses can go hand in hand with one of these roles; however it is not favored by many people.
Servant and Maid
Selected as chefs, personal maids, gardeners, and so on, servants and maids can fall in any one of these categories. They are given their own quarters by the kingdom, but these areas are not as well-maintained as the rest of the kingdom. Some servants and maids are hired to personally care for a prince or a queen, while others also serve as messengers. A servant or maid that has previous skill in combat is also considered a warrior and part of the kingdom’s army, but not officially.
Knight
The leader-like figure in an army, a knight is often given his title either by his noble family or by his fighting style. Knights are welcomed as skilled fighters in traditional practices. They can also be fighters devoted to the royal family and have been acknowledged for their strength in battle.
A knight can also be a like a servant to a king, queen, prince, or princess, but no in a way of serving and dressing them. It could be more for company-use or perhaps courtship. While a king, queen, prince, or princess can also be considered a knight, it’s not looked upon as a good thing when they come into combat. However, when a prince or princess learns a form of combat, they often learn a knight’s style, but it’s possible to learn a warrior’s style too.
Warrior
The figures and pawns that are not very well-known, warriors take on their own style of fighting. Sure, they use sword and shield, but they are also for fist-fighting and javelin-tossing. Warriors usually don’t come from noble families and vary from being self-trained to army-trained. Those trained when enlisted have taken on their own style of fighting or aren’t the good enough to be considered a knight.
They are considered the furthest from royalty, but are willing to train and display their skills to those who come to visit. A king, queen, prince, or princess may have a fighting style like a warrior’s, but it is uncommon.
Bishop
The battle-mages of the kingdom also serve as beloved figures for their magic and religious purposes. While they tend to the churches and cathedrals, they can also appear on the battlefield when summoned. Some bishops are host in the same places as knights and warriors while others are able to stay at their own homes.
Bishops are highly respected and can also play the role of a servant towards a king, queen, prince, or princess. The four other roles can also be in place as a bishop, but this only happens when they have some form of magic. Most bishops use magic for battle, but a small number of them use simple steel.
Weapons
With the world covered with non-magic users, such as humans and perhaps other angels and demons, weapons are important. Pure iron and steel can be used for battle, but nobles often have their weapons laced in gold or silver. Then, there are other weapon users who like their weapons blessed and cursed. Angels and demons can bless and curse weapons, but it counts to the amount of beings they have blessed or cursed. The weapon receives only a passive ability that is activated by sharing the same alignment. Weapons like these are purely used for angels and demons, but sometimes humans can get their hands on these items.
A blessed or cursed human can use a weapon that is also blessed or cursed. However, a cursed human who grabs hold of a blessed weapon will not be able to use the power inside the weapon. This also applies to when a blessed human has a cursed weapon. Untouched humans have the best advantage when a blessed or cursed weapon falls into their hand because they are considered unaligned to either good or evil. Though they take this advantage, they can have a hard time activating the ability within the weapon. “Natural” humans are also more resistant to blessed and cursed weapons
The passive ability in a weapon is nothing too powerful. This is because the ability in the weapon is supposed to compliment the creator’s ability. The weapon looks like any ordinary weapon, whether it’s from the nobles or commoners, and can break like any other. Most of the time, these weapons are weaker in durability than a human-crafted weapon. Once it’s broken, it can be repaired, but it loses its ability. These weapons can vary from swords, daggers, axes, or staves, but do not assume that all weapons are blessed or cursed. There are legends about many blessed and cursed weapons to make them sound mighty, but the truth is that many of them have very simple abilities that do not do extraordinary things. If a weapon has something genius to it, it is often a demon’s weapon that puts something very important at stake.
Locations
There are notable places across the map that you may or may not know about. These places are important marks of each kingdom, whether it’s a symbol of justice or a commoner’s home. Buildings and towns can be listed here if they play an important part to a kingdom or the world.
The Round Table
The meeting place and the neutral zone of all kingdoms, this is where the rulers of the kingdoms meet. It’s a rare thing when they come together to personally speak with each other. In a time long ago, this was the meeting place that sealed an old kingdom off from ruling any surface land. It’s said that the floor of the building is a magical seal that keeps this kingdom from ever coming back to power, but such words have become part of legends and rumors. Place around the mountain-area, the Round Table is a battle-free zone. No one is to vandalize it or fight upon these grounds. It has been obeyed by ancestors long before and till this day it is still used to hold conferences upon the three kingdoms: Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael.
Sheol Cathedral
Underneath the Round Table is a run-down building known as the Sheol Cathedral in the Kingdom of Lucifer. It was built as a place of religious worship, but overtime it has become abandoned and unvisited. The only beings that come in to practice are speechless shade-like creatures that walk in, do their form of prayer, and leave. Other rare visits are made by abandoned children who are dropped left at the steps of the cathedral or dying creatures who’ve come for comfort. The cathedral has a graveyard and serves as home for bishops. There are rumors that a necromancer lives here, but no one has returned to confirm this. From a distance, you can see corpses patrolling the area of the cathedral. It’s best to keep away from this area…
Rules

2. This role-play is good-old fantasy. Keep that in mind.
3. Don't act like a GM when you aren't one. Leave everything to the GM and co-GM.
4. Do not fight or argue in the OOC. I really didn’t think it was necessary to make this a rule, but actions say otherwise.
5. Do not post pictures in OOC. Unless they are character pictures, they are unnecessary, but feel free to link.
6. Literacy is highly recommended. Knowledge in grammar, spelling, and punctuation usage may help you with that.
7. Even genders are not required. You may have as many role-players you can keep up with. Do not have four characters and have only have one of them active.
8. Keep the standards and rules of species, roles, and more in mind. You may not be accepted because of contradicting such. Do not be afraid to ask questions.
9. Try to keep the theme of the role-play in mind. We won’t be having any Eastern weapons or names, and nor will there be boom-boxes and torpedoes.
10. If an accepted player feels like your character is too over-powered or has a quirk that is questionable, they have the right to question it and it will be looked over again despite being accepted by the GM. Don’t throw a hissy fit about it.
11. Within IC, do not god-mod. No controlling other people’s characters without their permission, no genocidal combo moves, and all that good stuff.
12. Keep things moderated. Nothing too gruesome and nothing too sexual. If there is a request by any of the players to have a scene modified from that context, modify it.
13. If a romantic scene occurs and starts to get carried away, take it away. Keep it away from IC and carry it over to PC/PMs or let it dissipate.
14. Creating chaos is fun! Just make sure to go over things with the GM and co-GM before playing it out if it puts a major impact in the role-play.
15. Please cooperate and have fun.
