[u]Intro[/u] Greetings, I am Sauron. Of course I just failed destroying middle earth and stuff so I started roleplaying instead. I have created a setting/idea within the head of mine for a couple of days now and I feel able to show it up to this guild as a roleplay test for a novel I'm going to write for my english class. Of course this'll last as long as it makes itself able to live on, maybe even beyond the time where I have finished my english class novel, we don't know, however with that said I will now allow you to read what the roleplay is about. [u]Setting[/u] This roleplay will be present in a distant time, in an unknown location. A place where the sun is chained to night and night is free'd to day. This realm of existance is beyond anything we'd call the 'norm' or usual things in our lives. This is a story about the battle between angels and demons, this topic has possibly been used plenty in the past, however I don't see anything that directly corresponds to my ideals on this site at this moment. The world of Azeira, a wide and fantastic planet with plenty of varrying terrain, environments and climates. Hell is a seperate realm of existance as is heaven, however the physical world acts like a hallway between the two realms, and therefor it has been cursed with the eternal conflict for over any countable milenia or even eon, it has basically occured for eternity, an eternal conflict without end. Demons and Angels are made up of real life values like hope and dispair. The power of the value they represent the stronger the demon/angel. [hider=Interesting information] [u]Important Characters[/u] [i]Alzeius: Archangel of Life[/i]. Alzeius is the leading ruler in both diplomacy and military for the heavenly side of this conflict, he represents existence as a whole and is beyond any doubt the strongest angel there is, and will forever be just that. Like the other angels of the High Council they are not bound to the physical realm like the other angels, they are present in the spiritual realm of existence and are bound to action in heavenly forged armors and weapons sealing them within the majestic pieces of armor. As these Archangels are present in two realms of presence they can interact with both at the same time, giving them a sort of omniscience and a limited ability of omnipresence. Alzeius is worshipped in churches of any size and is the only Archangel to be worshipped in the Imperial Cathedral of the Mortals. [i]Kasus: Supreme Demon Lord of Death[/i]. During Kasus' origin he served as the right hand Demon Lord of the Devil himself: Kreiclon, Devil Lord of Conflict. Kasus then proceeded to slay Kreiclon in a duel for supremacy over hell and the demonic reights to rule it. He won without a doubt, his display of skill broke the trust issues he had with the other Demon Lords and now serve Kasus faithfully as his servants and Warlords. Kasus is the strongest Demon Lord by far and has fought Alzeius in combat and left the battlefield a winner. Whilst it was a couple of thousand years ago it is still scarred within the minds of both, and whilst Alzeius has stronger lieutenants and Archangels at his command Kasus is the stronger warrior and creates no shortage of chaos. [u]World[/u] The world of Azeira is a planet beyond anything else but a star and three distant moons, the terrain is as magical as you could get and it is also the gateway between heaven and hell, it's the default battleground between the two sides, but what happens when the seed the angels had sown so long ago begin to bloom, bloom into the greatest of creations: Mankind. Humans occupy the mortal realm and are both sinful and heartful in nature, they are a mixture of the two divine counter parts and are therefor beyond limits in their norma, everyday appearences. Like any other human conflict was quick to errupt between the humans and demonkind grew stronger due to the increased negative emotion collected from the mortal realm, the death of so many were all channeled into Kasus, however the birth of so many more increased the abilities of Alzeius aswell, especially his knowledge. Alzeira is a planet with one massive super continent surrounded by the great sea, there's the occational island in the great sea and the continent sized island known as Crein, the royal seat of power for the mortal realm, it is also the hidden gateway to the heavenly dimensions, this gate is hidden deep beneath rock and sand, far into the earths where no one, nor anything could find it. The angelic pressence is almost non-existant and exists only in churches and holy praying places. The super continent Clausus is home to varrying small empires and kingdoms, but is mostly known for the large pressence of demonic existance, an entire empire surrounds the gates of hell. Fire errupts from the ground and out from the metal fortresses which hold both demon and human cultist within their embrace. At the very edge of demonic influense lies a thick fog, and this is the Breath of Kasus, a lifedraining green fog, home to undead warriors slaying and ripping towns apart as they enter the embrace of this apocalyptic fog. [u]Angels[/u] Angels are mostly born in the realm of heaven due to the creation of an ideal, however the eleven first angels were born in the 'past realm' and are still present there as of this time, they created heaven in the image of their previous home and rule from avatar like spirits of themselves sealed within the embrace of holy armor and weaponry, if they wee to stop contact with any of these items they'd be instantly removed from the mortal realm and would be forced to be summoned and re-sealed through painful work only the most experienced of warsmith could make. As stated Angels are born from ideals and emotions within the mortal realm, they feed of these emotions, but unlike demons they don't remove the ideal or emotion from the mortal in the process. They instead add to it and give side-effects like improved intelligence or increased lifetime. Normal angels and Archangels hold a massive gap between the two and it is evident that they are of two different generations of angelic beings. Archangels have the ability to pass through solid objects for example and normal angels can only materalise themselves into a cloud of pure ideal/emotion and pass through small holes within objects, any angel can fly, however. But they propell themselves by wings created of their own ideal, so they look more like tendrils or the skeletal outline of wings in pure emotional state and not physical wings with skin and everything. Angels uphold order, and many angels hold a grudge against mankind for 'siding' with demonkind. [u]Demons[/u] Demons are the most brutal of creatures, the majority of demonic pressence hold no self-intelligence and instead follow the command of higher pressence holders like the High Demon Lords or even Demon Lords of any kind. Demons are incredibly territorial by nature, however can be commanded to do anything by their masters, the demons hold respect in power and therefor do not fight against anyone who holds more strenght or authority then they do, therefor combat between one demon and their underling often occure on a demonkind wide scale. Whilst demons themselves have nothing special to speak of the Demonic Lords are the most unique of the demons. Demonic Lords hold sentience unlike normal demons and follow the rule of the High Demon Lord however they see fit. The Demon Lords are the only thing which heralds from an ideal or emotion of negative purpose from the mortal realm and it was the Demon Lord who made lesser demons, whenever a Demon Lord dies his lesser demons die along with him. The power respective nature of demons exist even on this level of power, however it is a bit more secretive, they don't do it so openly, however the underdog is the one who often picks the fight in this level of pressence, he wants to prove his strenght to be greater then his pear. [/hider] [u]Roleplay Summary[/u] We, roleplayers would start off during the Siege of Cloryn's Keep, a town surrounding a powerful mortal keep under the siege of demonic legions before the green mist. People who chose to roleplay as humans would be Anceirons, vessels to fallen warriors in battle of great power, however the spots to roleplay as angels and demons are also avalible, there will be plenty to do for all three, the world will be open, however once you partake a quest you may not leave your deeds as a mortal/demon/angel and simply abandon the task you promised to partake. Contact with important characters will be made and the roles of the Angelic High Council and the Legion Commandorium of the Demons will be limited to 2 people each, however the access to angels and small Demon Lords beyond the Demon legions Commandorium will be allowed. The roles of Alzeiron will be taken by me, and I will allow someone else to roleplay as Kasus, the plague of mankind. I will stay in constant contact with this person so that he stays to his manners and character and doesn't go all ''I'm sorry, miss.'' when he's the one who should crush a girls face in an instance if she would be so dumb to question is commands. I'd also share rp plots with this figure and help him/her if needed. There will be no ruler for the mortal realms because there are many, simply too many, however the Eclairian Emperor, the Guardian of the Heavenly Gate will be roleplayed by me, however as an NPC. [u]Other[/u] The standard roleplay rules apply, whilst some of you have the capability to smash and demolish realms asunder I'd like you to go against those with fitting capabilities, it's not like you'd waste time on people who'd barely be able to scratch you naturally when there's an Archangel infront of you in need of some dominance showing. However there will be times that will make it clear that the Anceirons are weak in comparison to demons or angels there will also be plot allowing the level in power to gradually decrease. The Anceirons have the privilge of choosing paths, to partake in the Demon Legions or to fight alongside the Angels and Mankind to free Azeira of the demonic plague. Thank you, if you have any questions ask me.
