The Light and the Dark (Reboot)

RavenWolf1010 · June 21, 2017

War.

Humans are selfish creatures. They constantly fight and bicker among themselves. And for what? To prove that one religion is more righteous than another? No, perhaps it's simply over a mad dash for power. They climb over each other, step on each others' toes, kill, and so on. They don't see that they are all one in the same. Race, appearance, religion. Deep down, they all are still just mortals. In their strife over oil, money, power, they leave their kin to slowly die of diseases and starvation.

Not only, are they selfish, but they are naive as well. While one could be corrected in time, in enlightenment, the combination of the two is a self destructive one. Humans destroy themselves before they get the chance to learn. And those few that are wise, those that can see past just themselves, get lost among the much louder, much more dominant fools that are too narrow minded to broaden their views. In their own mind, they are right.

Now of course, they had help. Many powerful politicians in office, had been those influenced by our lesser kin rather forcefully. They were those out to start trouble. We let them run rampant; let them stir the pot. When it got out of hand, however, we would take care of it. An 'accidental' death. The mortals would be none the wiser. But then came the much more powerful ones. They'd managed to worm their way into high places. General of Wars, Presidents, right under our noses. They set the humans against each other, and let them nearly destroy themselves. Of course we had to step in at that point. We had to set the world straight again. But we were led into a trap. The demons were waiting. Thus began the War that Lasted Centuries. It was at that point that I realized, we are no better than them. Humans. With our petty arguments and wars of our own, we were just like them.

The war left the world in turmoil. It took another century after that, to set the world back on track. While most of it had been resolved, humans, demons, and angels, still butt heads. Our and their presences are known- but as the years have worn on, slowly we have inked out of their existence. But with darkness on the rise again, another war seems to be on the horizon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, you're either a demon, angel, or human. Since the war was long ago, humans would now be skeptical of the existence of such creatures. Angels mingle with humans (despite the fact they aren't really allowed to). Angels and demons don't get along.

~~There will be a possibility of the allowance of halfbloods. I haven't decided yet.~~

This time around, they will be allowed. But, how many depends on ratio.

The setting is a city hugged by forest and mountains.

Rules

- All basic DC forum rules apply.

- No super overpowered characters. Angels and demons are pretty powerful though. They are immortal, but can still be injured badly.

- Minor cussing is allowed.

- No killing without permission.

- Try to keep numbers even as far as gender and species goes. Doesn't matter that much though.

That should cover it all for now.

Nephilims

Username: CharonDusk

Name: Sheridan

Nickname: Sherry

Gender: Male

Age: Early twenties

Species: Half-demon, half-human

Personality: Suave and silver-tongued, Sherry is a charmer through and through. Whenever in a new environment, he always seeks out whoever appears to be in charge and tries to win their favour with honeyed words and by stroking their ego. But at the same time, he goes amongst those who are pushed down, oppressed and angry, and with that same sycophantic tone he stokes the fires of rebellion, urging them to rise up and attack their "overlord", which is normally the same people he has been sucking up to. Then he just sits back and lets the fires burn.

Sheridan thrives on pandemonium, feeling truly alive when in the middle of the fallout caused by his actions, his playing the sides against each other. For him, there is no greater joy than in manipulating those he considers weak-willed, regardless of their social standing, and takes immense delight in orchestrating the downfall of people who are in the higher rings of society. He is little more than a conman, using his powers to his advantage, taking what he needs before casting aside his "playthings" in search of the next big score.

Appearance: Possessed of a height of nearly seven feet with a physique so slender and elegant as to appear feminine, Sheridan is pale-skinned with facial features that are soft, like full lips and wide eyes, that belie a sharpness to his face, portrayed in his blood-red eyes and razor teeth. A trio of scars run from the top of his right eye socket, all the way down the side of his head to just above his shoulder. Black hair streaked with white falls in thick curly waves down to his knees, though he normally keeps it tied up into a bun. Across his body are numerous swirling black tattoos.

When out and about, Sheridan normally wears a pair of immaculately pressed black pants over knee-high and heeled boots, a white shirt with a red pinstripe vest and a floor-length red coat. His accessories consist of a red fedora, around which is a black ribbon holding in a single black rose and feather, and a choker necklace that is a simple black ribbon with a silver bell on it.

Weapons/ Powers: Illusions - Sheridan has inherited watered-down versions of his mother's powers, only capable of using two abilities in particular. One is the ability to cast illusions, to manipulate what a person sees, hears, even physically feels. However, this power weakens with as the number of people present increases, with it being at it's strongest used against one person and it's weakest when there's more than a group of 5 present. As well, once cast on a person, further castings on the same person are less effective to the point where the victim is immune. As a result, he uses this ability sparingly, normally either to escape a tricky situation or when he's stealing.

Siren Song - When Sheridan sings, he can entrance people, making them susceptible to his commands. However, there are numerous drawbacks: 1) Once a person hears his song, it won't work on them again. 2) Large groups, whilst entranced, are very difficult to control, most of them instead just appearing catatonic. 3) It only works whilst the victim is in range of his voice. The further they are, the weaker it becomes until they snap out of it completely. 4) Sheridan can't stop singing otherwise the spell stops, not to move or even to breathe. So he is extremely vulnerable while singing. Due to these drawbacks, he only uses this ability in the most desperate of situations.

Weapon - Sheridan does not possess a sword. Instead, he owns a short dagger that he calls Solas Na Gréine.

History: Born towards the end of the war, when his demonic mother met and fell in love with his human father, despite it being against her family's wishes. To protect the soon-to-be-born son, the couple fled the battlefield, hiding amongst the humans in an attempt to find some peace. And for a while, it worked.

Until Sheridan was a teenager. A roving band of angels met in combat with a group of demons near to the family's home, and when it became clear that one of her siblings was involved in the fight, his mother went to the aid of the demons. She never came back, and the surviving family tried to flee when the "angels" came calling, but only Sheridan escaped, left scarred for the remainder of his life.

Ever since, he has made his way in the world by using his powers to his own gain. But what he truly seeks is something far beyond dangerous: a weapon which can kill both demons and angels, and with it, revenge on those who killed his parents.

Other: Best way to make him flustered is to earnestly be nice to him. He doesn't know how to react to someone actually WANTING to be nice to him for the sake of it.

Demons

Username: RavenWolf

Name: Mackenzie

Gender: Female

Age: Mid-twenties

Species: Demon

Personality: Rp'd

Appearance: (Working on it.)

Weapons/ Powers: Mackenzie possess the power to manipulate shadows. Her moods can also affect this power.

History: Mackenzie wasn't around until a few months after the war. However, she was picked up by a band of angels, and stuck in a prison until recently. Her prison break though, left her with a severe weakness- the inability to use any of her powers, due to the enchanted cuff on her wrist.

Other:

Username: Kirito

Name: Aaron

Gender: Male

Age: Mid-twenties

Species: Demon

Personality: Rp'd

Appearance: (Working on it.)

Weapons/ Powers: Aaron can manifest weapons from his own blood or if permissions given another'. He can also melt in and out of shadows at his leisure.

History:During the war Aaron stuck to himself only fighting when he needed to for himself. That was one of his rules look after yourself and only yourself. After the war he became a P.I trying to contribute a little to this so called human race.((Yes he your stereo typical P.I with trench coat and cigarette

Username: CharonDusk

Name: Malice

Gender: Male

Age: Appears early twenties

Species: Shadow Demon

Personality: This guy can be summed up in one word; jerk. He is loud, brash, so foul-mouthed he would make a sailor blush and, above all, loves pulling pranks on people and laughing at their expense, though these pranks are rarely designed to do more than slightly embarrass the target - if they are human or Angel. Demons rarely walk away unharmed.

Always happy to start a fight – usually between two other people, - numerous are the time he has wound up starting a mass bar-room brawl, only for him to be nowhere in the fray, instead seated somewhere inconspicuous, watching with a beer and a huge grin as the chaos unfolds.

Appearance: Malice possesses sharp, narrow features and lean but muscular build at just over 6 feet in height. His almond eyes are a deep red shade, with reptilian pupils and a small scar running under his right eye, with faint barely perceptible markings running from the corners of his mouth up to just below his cheekbones, teeth that are incredibly sharp, and his black hair has a slight curl to it, reaching down to his midback and is always worn down: all of these traits combine to give him quite an intimidating appearance when you first meet him. Mal wears a black full-bodysuit, covered with a heavy black hooded cloak depending on the weather, and is usually barefoot unless forced to wear shoes. With regards to accessories, he wears a gold choker necklace inset with a single large red stone, and when out and about he wears a pair of black aviator-style goggles.

Weapons/ Powers: Shadow Manipulation - Malice can manipulate shadows, giving them a physical form - mostly whips/tentacles - with which he attacks. Due to the nature of his power, using it in well-lit places is very difficult.

Familiars - Malice has a number of familiars, small shadow creatures that are permanently near him. They are sapient, though they will rarely do anything without Malice telling them to, and they are also extremely photosensitive, dying in strong sunlight. On their own, they're no threat and normally only on a scouting mission, but as a group, they can be formidable in dark areas.

Sword - Malice possesses a traditional sword, similar to those used by medieval knights, which he refers to as Solas Na Gealaí.

History: Very little is known of Malice's past before the war, and he prefers it that way.

During the war, he made his living by effectively ruining the plans of the other demons, using his familiars to spy on their plans and then finding ways to sabotage them by any possible means, be it by attacking them himself or by leaving "anonymous" messages to the Angels. As well, he took particular delight in watching battles between the adversaries before "cleaning up" by picking off any demons that survived and dragging away demonic corpses to refill his larder.

After the war, he took to traveling the planet, taking up the self-styled mantle of "demon hunter" by night, private bodyguard by day.

Other: Loves the taste of demonic flesh, but human or angel flesh makes him sick, which is why he has no interest in them.
