In this world the most vicious and mighty beasts imaginable rule the wild. Humans live in walled cities, afraid to travel the wilderness for fear that they will be devoured. The god and goddess ruling over mankind, the Father and Mother, took pity on mankind because of their weakness and bestowed upon them a gift. Men are capable of superhuman strength, enough to fight the beasts, and women capable of powerful magic.

When a man who is a lover of men, or a woman who is a lover of women, is discovered they are not punished for their proclivities. Quite the contrary, they are considered sacred, and sent to become an acolyte in an abbey or convent full of others like them. It is believed that one day the great heroes of humankind will be a man miraculously born from two men and a woman miraculously born from two women. As such, romance is more than encouraged in these special schools.

So, if you're interested in this RP shoot me a PM. This will be highly highly mature, and thus must be over PMs. The couple can be either MxM or FxF, both make sense here. Also note that plots will involve not only multiple love triangles and romances, but also political struggles, battles with monsters, and even the possible conception of one of the great heroes.

Edit: A few more details about this setting. Magic, as well as men's super-human strength, is powered by something called the "pneuma," which translates to "life force." Savage societies replenish the pneuma by performing animal, or even human sacrifices. The primary society in this setting replenishes pneuma through sexual activity, hence the importance of frequent sexual relations. Just as the physical act of sex between a man and a woman creates the body of a new baby, so the passion produces pneuma for the creation of a soul. When no baby is created, no soul is created, thus sex between two people of the same gender is much more likely to produce pneuma. When someone is raped and impregnated a body is created, but, because there was no real passion or love, no soul was created, and thus the child is born soulless. Similarly, pregnancies aborted through the use of the wormwood herb, if the child in the womb had a soul, creates demons, who are hateful and vengeful about having been rejected and denied life.

Shall we start posting characters, then? I'll start with my PC.

Mitzvael
Mitzvael, also known as "Law," was a member of Michael's legion who was punished for going too far. For disobeying orders, and for his extreme methods, he was cursed to live a life amongst humans, and his powers were stripped until such time as his penance was complete. While living amongst humans, he became a cop in a Texas town, and became obsessed with action movies. In time he started modeling his behavior after the archetypal heroes he saw in those movies; keeping constant stubble, making quips and snappy one-liners, smoking cigars, and talking in a gravelly voice.

While working in this small Texas town he met a woman named "Mercy," who was a doctor at the local hospital. She loved his crazy, over-the-top personality, and he loved how much she sincerely cared about her patients. They have been dating for a few years now, and he has plans to ask her to marry him.

When God died and the Age of Darkness began, Michael recruited Mitzvael into his legion again, but Mitzvael told him, "If I'm going to do this I'm going to do it my way."

Mitzvael's spiritual weapon, which had been a flaming sword before his punishment, has now been morphed into a shotgun, and he has enchanted it so that a choir of voices will sing what he has chosen as his theme-song whenever he pulls it out to fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvaIgq5j2Q8
Glad to see more people getting excited by this idea. I might start the thread soon. You guys want to do character profiles?
Mostly sand-boxy, but I do have some later plot-twists in mind as well. I would have an official character myself, but also play a few NPC's. (Certainly my players will need NPC interactions for their factions).
Opposite ends of the spectrum a bit. Lol. We'll see if anyone else likes it and what they choose, I suppose? That might help to make sure you're not in a faction all alone.
Nice! Any particular faction catch your eye?
