Basically the idea of this roleplay is that demons, angels, and humans are involved in a struggle that the humans are pretty much oblivious to... except the ones who aren't. My character, the Gate Keeper, is gathering Sensitives that show promise in order to help him maintain the balance in the world so that Judgement Day doesn't happen early. If you've ever seen Constantine, City of Bones, or Supernatural... it's like a mash-up of those. Your character can be a sensitive or a sensitive's demon, fallen, or angelic companion... you can play both your character and your companion if you'd like. I'll be playing a Sensitive as well as the Gate Keeper since the Gate Keeper won't be as active as the rest of you and it will be my way of GMing without actually GMing. This is going to be one of those plays that hopefully EVERYONE will have a hand in driving, and can take off on their own side stories or throw in their own plot twists... That way none of us ever know for sure what is going to happen. :) 

As far as requirements go? I'd like people who can write at LEAST 10 sentences (though more is fantastic so long as you have something to say and aren't just describing the texture of each blade of grass) and can post at least once a day so that we don't have people waiting for days tied up with your character. If you can't post for a while and know it then just stick your character some place out of the way and let us know. If you want to drop out at any point PLEASE let me know so I can clear you off the game in an orderly fashion (usually by killing you off) and usher someone else in if they want to join. I won't take it hard, it's your prerogative and I don't want players around if they aren't having fun. :) If you don't let me know something I'll only give you a week to come back before I kill you off. ^_^

[hider=Important Info]
Angels and demons are not supposed to do more than suggest, give little pushes that send humans towards the light or the dark, but lately neither side is playing by the rules. Possession is supposed to be a nono on both sides, but its happening more and more often and therefore someone has to do something about it. This is where the Sensitives and Gate Keepers come into play. It's the Gate Keeper's job to see to balance, to make sure no one is breaking the rules and if they are the Gate Keeper sends out Hunters to take whatever naughty demon or angel is breaking the rules back to its respective boss in Heaven or Hell. 

However, this has put Sensitives at an awkward position. Sensitives aren't supposed to see the things they see and as humans they aren't held to the usual rules, that makes them dangerous. No one knows exactly why a person is sensitive except that usually you're born with it because a parent was sensitive or maybe you came close to dying or did die and came back through life saving means and it triggered you? As a Sensitive you either go insane and end up in an asylum or on medication the rest of your life, or you accept what you see and are expected to take a side... Which means either demons or angels will be on your ass depending on the side you chose. Unfortunately, if you take a side you're tipping the balance and you piss off the Gate Keepers and end up hunted by them as well. Either you play the game by the Gate Keeper's rules and mostly stay out of the cross hairs or you're likely to be turned into a Hunter yourself, which means your soul will be ripped out and trapped in his collection and you'll be a puppet... fun stuff.

On to explaining the Fallen...All it takes for an angel to fall is for them to give in to any of the seven deadlies: lust, greed, envy, wrath, pride, sloth, or gluttony (which in this case means over-indulgence since Angels don't eat). Once an angel becomes Fallen they have 100 years from the time they are cast out live, over that time their feathers begin to fall out and they lose the ability to fly and their powers weaken. Once all the feathers are gone they die... and cease to be. The only way to avoid that outcome is to choose a side, either you spend your time trying to be absolved of your sins with no guarantee of success or you choose to go dark and start eating souls to extend your life... therefore slowly becoming a demon. Like demons Fallen can make contracts with Sensitives, the premise being that for their protection they either get the Sensitive's soul at the end of the Sensitive's life to extend their own or for the possibility of forgiveness if they give their lives to guard someone else's. Fallen have their own physical bodies and can be seen by normal people but use glamor to hide what they are.

If you choose to be a demon, you'll be contracted to one of the Sensitive players. If you want to play an evil demon with no contract that's fine, however... you'll have to be possessing someone in order to be walking about... You can't cross fully over without a contract enabling you to do so.

If you're an angel then you should know that for you it is against the rules to do more than observe and give guidance, you can't openly protect a human without risking your wings since Gate Keepers can make you Fallen also if you piss them off. Sensitives are the only ones who can see you aside from demons and fallen. Normal humans can't.

If you're a Sensitive then you'll be taking a side or trying to play middle ground... or maybe you just recently started being able to see because of some near death experience...[/hider]

[hider=Character Sheet]

Name:

Race: Angel(please let me know what virtue you're over: Love, Mercy, Compassion, Charity, Humility, Diligence, and Abstainment.) Demon(please let me know what sin you're over: Lust, Wrath, Envy, Greed, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony), Fallen (dark, neutral, or light), or Sensitive?

Gender:

Age: The one you appear.

Appearance: You can describe them but if you use a picture please choose a human as everyone will look outwardly human due to glamours or possession. Demon and angel forms under the human disguises are up to you... except angels and fallen must have wings.

Personality:

Abilities:

Angels and Demons -You get one original power governed by your Virtue or Sin and whatever your Virtue or Sin is is what you're strongest at pushing others towards. Both have powers of suggestion (which means they can put an idea in someone's head and the more weak willed the person is the more likely they are to follow through) and where angels can inspire humans to goodness, demons do the opposite. Both can effect emotions, pushing people good or bad ones depending on if they're demon or angel. Both can heal themselves and others if they wish. Angels can touch people and make them fall asleep, demons can touch people and give them nightmares. Both can be killed by incineration, decapitation, or removing their hearts but when they die they just go back to Heaven or Hell.

Fallen - Three original powers, healing yourself and others. You can no longer influence others emotions and you've lost the power of suggestion. However, the three powers you have don't have limits by Virtues or Sins. The closer to one side or the other you are should be what your powers are based around. Your downfall is that all your powers consume large amounts of energy and the grander the power the more energy consumed... the more energy you lose the more feathers fall out. They die by beheading, removal of the heart, or incineration and cease to exist. The only way they go to one place or the other is if they claim their contracted Sensitive's soul or give their life for that Sensitive in an act of selflessness.

Sensitives - You can see angels, demons, and fallen for what they are. You can be trained to exorcise demons, absolve fallen of sins, and banish angels. You can contract with demons and fallen, and gain guidance from angels. Some Sensitives can read the recent past or soon to be future off of objects, some sense when something supernatural is coming their way, some can see auras allowing them to know when a person has been influenced or possessed by an angel or demon, some can read surface thoughts of other people, intention, or strong emotions. They die as easily as other humans.

History: Where'd you come from and what happened to get you where you are now?[/hider]

I got this question before but yes, angels and demons CAN have been human in their lifetimes but don't have to have been since angels were also created as were demons and the longer they live the more they forget their human lives.... Fallen have to originally have been angels and never have been human. Angels who were human and fall are forced to be reborn with no memory of anything before so they can be judged again upon their deaths.
