On the Day the Earth Was Meant To End, Angels came to Give their Ultimate Deliverance.[/b] The very same day, Demons rose from their abyss, took on a human form, and convinced the world that this was wrong. That the angels were anything but what they said they were, that [i]they[/i] were the heartless demons. Mankind listened. And so when the Angels descended, they were attacked. The weapons the demons had given them proved effective, and not an angel went uncaptured. All were turned over to the state to see that 'rightful justice' was done, that these 'demons' could be subdued in a....humane way. On the surface, they were let free to go back to their homeland. Under the counter, they had been transferred to a research facility to be... unmade. Spiritual entities were brainwashed, turned into helpless and fragile creatures, all by the people they were meant to save. Their prayers were not heard, and like a candle, they burned out. In place of the candle was a computer screen lighting up. They were turned into puppets, genetically altered cyborgs (named 'Cyborgels) to be sold and marketed as 'exact replicas' of the angels that had attacked. The demons reign solidified, and society would not see miracles done with religion or belief, but by science. Twenty years later, the angels are obsolete. No longer as fashionable to have on your hip as a servant and thus discarded into random trashbins throughout the world. The newer, sleeker, completely robotic Mechangels are all the rage. Demons have taken over entirely, uniting the entire world under one government and one leader. However. In one trashbin in the alley behind a restaurant, a mannequinesque half-mechanical angel's eyelights begin to flicker... [/center] [h1]Welcome to New Society, or what used to be called Earth[/h1] [list] [*] Modern technology all comes from one corporation; Desium Corp. Suppliers of all anti-angelic (To the public, demonic) weaponry. From Cars to Condos, it's Desium Corp. [*] Thanks to Desium Corp, cars are now flying, weapons are all outfitted to deal with [supernatural or otherwise] threats, and the world has never been at a greater peace. [*] This world has been unified under one central government, and one leader. All currency is the same no matter where you go. [*] Desium Corp has not been around for long, only twenty years.

For now, 1 post per day rule. May change if people want to speed up 3. To prove you have read the rules, put 'REBORN' at the end of your CS in bold. I have the right to not allow you into the rp without telling you why if I see you haven't added this (and I expect no one else to tell them why) 3. Absolutely no all-powerful Cyborgels. I expect you to understand that it will take time for their abilities to redevelop again. 4. ABSOLUTELY no Mary Sues or Stues 5. Fights will be closely monitored between players; I expect you to be completely fair and give your opponent a chance to respond. 6. My word is law and I am going to be very harsh in judging your CS. I'm a very honest person but believe me when I say it's in your best interest. 7. Adult themes, up to R rated, are accepted with the exception of graphic sex scenes. If you REALLY want your characters to have sex that bad, fade to black in the main rp and take it to the PM's. [/hider] [h2]Character Types[/h2] [hider=Cyborgels] [b]Cyborgels[/b] -Once glorious and beautiful beings, these entities have been stripped of everything that once made them special -Not all Cyborgels are created equal. For example, a Coffee Shop Cyborgel will not be outfitted to mechanically deal with battles as well as a military based Cyborgel -Not all Cyborgels were augmented equally. Different Cyborgels received different limbs or body parts to aid what career field they would go in. Such as a nurse Cyborgel getting a red circular eye in place of an old one to perform on-site x rays, while another Cyborgel might be nearly androidal with the exception of a few organs from their original bodies. This was also a matter of how badly their angelic forms were damaged in the rebellion. -All Cyborgels, however, had been brainwashed. Now that they are 'rebooting' on their own whims, the memories of what they are and who had harmed them will gradually return, as well as the fantasy side of their fighting abilities -Before being turned into Cyborgs, The angels did have some specific fantastical capabilities. They only had ONE of the following: -Single element control [Gave appearance of HOLY ROBES ONLY] -Aura control (healing, influencing the emotions of others) [Gave appearance of HALO ONLY] -Flight [Gave appearance of WINGS ONLY] -They were originally sent to destroy the earth. Remember that. [/hider] [hider=Humans] [b]Humans[/b] -Revolutionaries, Citizens, Military and everything in between -Citizens are usually former owners of Cyborgels and current owners of Mechangels -Citizens live in lavish, upscale cities with highly futuristic apartments and jobs. Very spoiled and don't much remember what it is to do true hard work. -Revolutionaries have been trained in combat against the military and police force in an attempt to take down the government -Revolutionaries live down under grand bridges, 'homeless camps,' the sparse bits of wilderness left on the planet to hide from the ever watchful eyes of those that spy on them. Most call them paranoid, and maybe they are, but they know the truth of what happened to the angels. -The Former Countries within Asia still have many people clinging to their traditional ways, and frequently deny turning down what would be easier methods in New Society to perform in lieu of doing what people would have done if Earth was still around. -Military personnel may have their own ideas about New Society, but are under oath to not talk about it. Protect Citizens from Revolutionaries, and are well trained in combat. -Travel to other countries is as fast as sneezing with the revolutionary teleportation systems. Revolutionaries hate them, but Citizens are addicted to it.[/hider] [hider=Demons] [b]Demons[/b] -Long ago have taken a human form -Essentially all the political figures in New Society are demonic or have been swayed by the demons. They have become a refined class above ground, but underground are still known for their foul hellish ways. -'Foul hellish ways' can be interpreted as whatever you like, but the imagination only goes so far. -Typically classy, cunning, and very, VERY persuasive. -It was they who are behind Desium Corp and 'saved Earth' all those years ago. However.... Whose best interest was it in? -Demonic types can range to just about anything you want, given GM approval. Remember that this rp will have Adult Themes, so go crazy.[/hider] [h3]NPC's [/h3] If you wish to play in an NPC role that's fine, just pm me first [hider=NSPD] [b]NSPD[/b] -The New Society Police Department -Work all under Desium Corp -Often suspicious -May consist of Private Investigators[/hider] [hider=Mechangels] [b]Mechangels[/b] -The replacements of Cyborgels -All outfitted with similar military equipment to protect the citizens they serve -More metallic and less warm in appearance than Cyborgels -Completely robotic -Brought in after citizens complained Cyborgels took up too many jobs, they do not have career paths like Cyborgels but are instead more like the newest cell phone. -Programmed with AI set to match your personality -Sleeker and more 'fashionable' to own -Example picture: [img]http://animenook.webs.com/Mecha.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Bots] [hider=Litter Bug][img]http://trendsblog.ru/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru-cleaner-2516239120_b49e0c63d7_o1-300x472.jpg[/img] -They're officially called "Small Trashbots" -Citizens and Revolutionaries alike however have affectionately nicknamed them 'Litter Bugs' -Very cute -Very stupid -Vacuums, picks up, mops, sweeps, dusts, very versatile -Clean up the gunk left behind in the cities by inserting appropriate sized items into a interal incinerator panel that slides out automatically on the center console. Favored in restaurants for decreasing the rodent population with lack of food scraps, as well as on public sidewalks. -Frequently vandalized -Sensitive A.I. (Frequently get their feelings hurt) -Have been known to get attached to certain humans depending on how often they see them (Scientists are still trying to fix that)[/hider] [hider=Garbage Men] [img]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs50/i/2009/277/7/5/mecha_robot_painter_style_by_tianyi.jpg[/img] -Officially named 'Large Trashbots' -Not so affectionately nicknamed 'Garbage men' -Primarily take up residence in dumps or areas populated with large amounts of trash -Also used to clean up construction sites -Used to compress and incinerate large amounts of trash -Kept out of the public eye because they're very prone to grime, grease, and oil drippings -Surprisingly gentle and dainty -Have similar personalities to Litter Bugs, frequently get lonely -Think 'Iron Giant' [/hider] [hider=Pixiebots] [img]http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm306/dodo44554/Wii_____by_NeodeadlyraveR.jpg[/img] -An alternative to Mechangels for those on the go very often -Small, meant to look like adorable pixies -Work as a telephone, computer and companion -Personalities are unique to them, as they're specialized to work with their owners but all generally love playing games and are attention hogs. [/hider][/hider] [hider=NPC's] [hider=Friedrich the Jerry] CREATED BY [@PaulHaynek] Name: Friedrich Kroenen Gender: Male Character Type: Human Appearance: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1e/Kronen.jpg[/img] Description: Friedrich has badly burnt skin and so hides the ugliness and the shame of defeat beneath his uniform and gas mask. Of course the uniform lacks the swastikas and the iron crosses and stuff. He stands at 6'0 and has a well-built, but burned, body thanks to his training in the military. Career: Military Skills: *Expert melee combat (prefers the saber and arm-blade combo) *Above average marksmanship *Average commander Supernatural Abilities: N/A Personality: =Cold =Brave =Brutal =Ruthless =No-nonsense Bio: Friedrich was born in Berlin, Germany 6 years before the angels came but had to move to St. Petersburg, Russia because of a family business trip. They could not make the trip back however and ended up studying there where he met Yuri Volkova, a Russian two years younger than him, despite the other Russians ignoring him. The two became great friends because of their shared interest in philosophy. Both enlisted in the military to keep the citizens of New Society safe from the radical revolutionaries. Both became close to the unit they were assigned to and both seemed on the way to becoming fire-forged brothers. However, Yuri was a big fan of conspiracies and liked looking into things beyond what they looked like. Friedrich did not like this about Yuri and continuously told him to simply accept things as they were before he gets into trouble. And trouble Yuri did get into as Friedrich received orders to detain his friend and his like-minded associates. While he was not happy with the order, Friedrich complied and with the help of the rest of the unit, tried to apprehend Yuri and and the other associates. He failed, however, for Yuri apparently knew about it and the Russian escaped from the military's grasp. Friedrich was part of the team that looked for Yuri to compensate for his failure but after a year, the case was dropped and the German was assigned to his original position of taking down the revolutionaries. He was glad though, even though he was an enemy, he did not have to hunt down his friend no longer. One day Friedrich, now a commander of a unit, got orders to clear out a Russian village secretly aligned with the revolutionaries. The German went without hesitation and laid siege to village, knowing little this was Yuri's home village. After properly occupying it and getting some rest, some surprise attacks and explosions manage to decimate his unit, his sworn brothers whom he had known and gotten close to in the years. When the culprit showed himself, he could not believe his eyes that his longtime friend was the one who annihilated his squad. Yuri, taking advantage of his disbelief, tossed a Molotov Cocktail at him and setting him on fire. Friedrich, despite being in fire and in panic, found a miraculous puddle among the piles of snow in which he dropped himself to rid the flames. He fled to the woods where he eventually lost Yuri. Since then Friedrich, now wearing a gas mask to hide his unrecognizable burnt face, kept fighting the revolutionaries hoping to meet Yuri Volkova, who was probably still alive, for one last reunion. OPTIONAL Likes: +Order +New Society +Desium Corp. +Biscuits Dislikes: -Cyborgels -Revolutionaries -Yuri Volkova Theme Song: Other: "[i]To this day I still wonder. Why are the revolutionaries fighting? Continuing to resist New Society? Do they not see that we have prevented Earth's demise? That we saved all of their lives? That we brought everlasting peace to the planet? We have made Earth [b]REBORN[/b] as Heaven where no soul needs to suffer the hardships of life. Where people are actually happy and not 'enslaved happy'. A perfect utopia in the truest sense of the word. Yet the revolutionaries still fight. Continuing to fight for the old ways and that Heaven lies beyond death. Do they not wonder if that is not the case? Truly, I cannot comprehend these revolutionaries' minds. Perhaps that is the problem. They are sick in the mind.[/i]" [/hider] [hider=Mery the B.] Name: Meryliss Blood Gender: Female Character Type: Demon Appearance: Normal: [img]http://glambistro.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ash-brown-hair-color.jpg[/img] Demon: [LOCKED] Career: Desium Corp Employee Supervisor Skills: -Micromanaging -Terrorizing -Manipulating Supernatural Abilities: -Reflective Travel (The utilization of reflective surfaces to teleport anywhere else with similar surfaces) -[LOCKED] -[LOCKED] Personality: Bitchy Narcissistic Needy Manipulative Kissass OPTIONAL Likes: N/A Dislikes: N/a Theme Song: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFP72-_fX1Y[/url] Other:Reborn...

These are clues to who they are, especially their theme songs. Just things to shoot for during the story.[/hider] [hider=More about Angel Types] Angels had their own, nonphysical roles on earth before it needed to be destroyed, similar to the roles we know now. Angels that could control elements protected humans from demons that wished them harm; the 'sword' essentially. Angels that can control Aura were there when miracles needed to happen [cure 'incurable' diseases, help humans who would never do 'xyz' again do 'xyz' again] or to ease others in pain, suffering losses, dying, etc; and, on the smaller spectrum, give the hopeless hope; they're the miracle workers. Angels that could fly are there for deliverance [to a souls final resting place], observation and quick defense against the demons or other bad juju, but are not much for fighting, at least not like the element wielders. They are the shield. To put it in terms that are similar to lore you may or may not know, it could be put like this: Cherubims-Aura Angels, Halo only Guardian Angels-Winged Angels, Wings only Seraphim-Element controling angels, Holy Robes only They don't conform entirely to those roles going by lore, but in terms of fighting capability and strength, that would be the rank they could go by just to make things easier to understand. Now, when all the Angels came to earth, it would be absolutely necessary for all three types to be present come Earths destruction. Cherubims to ease the dying's passing, Guardians to take their respective souls to where they belong (paradise or inferno), and Seraphims to be the ones to actually destroy the earth.[/hider]
