[b]The Fallen Angels[/b] [hider=Samyaza ov the Dark Hand][center][b]Samyaza ov the Dark Hand, Black Lord ov Sorcery[/b] [i]The hearts ov man stand open, 'tis harvest ov my gospel.[/i] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/d99Leqi.png[/IMG][/center] The leader of the Fallen Angels, and first discoverer of the magic arts. He peered through the Veil of Death, and what he saw made him fall into madness. He is represented as a hooded figure, cloaked in darkness and with an aura of blood, with a skull in his right hand, and the left one, completely black, raised in a sign of malediction. His followers will be able to master the magic of Death, and become Necromancers; they may call forth the powers of the dark beyond the Veil, Sh'ol, they may bring the corpses and spirits of the dead, and let them fight as their thralls. Other spells include the draining of life from foes, and the summoning of darkness. The greatest in power of these dark magicians become Gravelords, and can be recognized by their left hand, completely rotten and black, and the horrible sounds of their tortured undead followers.

He was sent to search for the light below the World, but found only darkness. He is represented as a great warrior wearing bronze armor covered in dirt and humus, crowned in the roots of trees, and sitting upon a throne of fungi, earthworms, and roots. His followers are the Rotten, and they shall fall to none; they may welcome the Earth into them, and survive the mightiest of blows. Also, the decomposition in their bodies allows them to perform feats of inhuman strenght and endurance. Those who finally choose to become one with the Earth are the Chtonians, and offer their hearts in exchange for a piece of putrid, maggot-infested wood, writhing where their hearts used to beat.

[/i] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jZ4T3Dg.png[/IMG][/center] The brother of Baraqel, and watcher of the constellations. He spent many eternities watching the stars and reading the signs of the firmament attempting to solve their Mystery, and its solution has driven him insane. He is represented as a hooded figure, with a single, cyclopic eye being the only thing visible of his face; he is crowned by dead stars, shifting in an endless movement, and in his hands he holds a spyglass and a sextant. His followers are called Watchers, and they may foresee what is yet to happen, be it a strike from an unseen enemy, or a catastrophic event. Those who manage to solve the mystery of the Firmament become Hierophants; their eyes will fall off, and another one will open in their place, constantly writhing and watching the blackness that lies beyond the stars.

He was taken by the obscurity that dwells behind the sky; when he returned, he did so riding the most terrible storm the world had ever seen. He is represented as a giant beast with massive demonic wings, horns, and fangs, and an aura of black winds; in his hands he holds a bundle of lightning, dark as the deepest night. His followers learn to summon the powers of the tempestuous skies and become Stormcallers; they may hurl lightning against their enemy, and call forth the storm winds to destroy any who opposes them. Those who are found worthy become Typhons, sacrificing their sanity for a pair of horrible demonic wings, and an insatiable thirst for blood. [/hider] [hider=Father ov Liars Baraqel][center][b]Father ov Liars Baraqel, Watcher in the Darkness[/b] [i]Breeding lies, weaving discord, dreaming death, a two-sided sword.[/i] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/nrE0KbG.png[/IMG][/center] Brother of Kokabiel, and watcher of the blackness. When he found that there was nothing but endless dark surrounding all of creation, his sanity abandoned him. He is represented as a figure with a perennially open mouth, which contuously vomits blasphemies and lies; his eyes are filled with blackness, and in his hands he holds a large parchment, on which are written the highest of truths, and the greatest of lies. Those who decide to serve him are called Illusionists, and they may manipulate the minds of their enemies, instilling emotions such as terror or rage in their hearts, or making them see things that are not there. Those who have managed to deceive even themselves become Nightmares, horrible monsters whose jaw has fallen off, and replaced by a writhing mass of black tentacles, erupting from the throat. [/hider] [hider=Armaros the Vnbelieving][center][b]Armaros the Vnbelieving, the Living Dark[/b] [i]A quenchlesse fire, a nest of trembling feare: a path that leads to perill, sorrow and despaire.[/i] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/o1KLneC.png[/IMG][/center] The first one to refuse the existance of God, and master of godlessness. Once, he was the greatest of the faithful, but something has deeply changed in his heart. He his represented as a hooded figure, completely surrounded in darkness and crowned in rays of black light; in his hands, he bears only nothingness. Those who hear his word become Unbelievers, bane of magicians; with the use of their willpower, they may render magic powerless, and with their refusal they may undo even the greatest of miracles. When they have fully denied the light, they become Abysswalkers, and are accompanied by a costant, deafeningly loud sound of static, as the fabric of reality strains around them.[/hider] [hider=Shamshiel ov the Svn][center][b]Shamshiel ov the Svn, Beholder ov the Light[/b] [i]Bornless One, as darkness bright: found not in tongues; found not in light.[/i] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/GsDKWFO.png[/IMG][/center] He who taught man the secrets of the Sun. When he found that every light cast a shadow, he solved the riddle of the cosmos. He is represented as a naked, genderless and faceless man, with one eye plucked out and bloody, and the other staring in front of him; he is surrounded by an aura of flames, and in his hands he holds two suns; one black, in the right hand, and one red, in the left one. His followers are called Magi (singular Magus), and learn the magic of the light; by manipulating it they alter the course of life, and may heal any wound, no matter how grievous. Those who learn all the secrets of the light become Beholders, and are surrounded by a red aura of healing light; their left eye is offered in sacrifice, and blood constantly drips from its empty socket.[/hider] [hider=Darkmoon Sariel][center][b]Darkmoon Sariel, the Writhing Mirror[/b] [i]Formless Thou hath appeared before me: I am before all things.[/i] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Lr2m2R5.png[/IMG][/center] He who taught man the secrets of the Moon. When he was sent to survey the Moon's surface he found a portal on her dark side: he looked inside the portal to see what was on the other side, but something there looked back. He is represented as a beautiful, androgynous figure with long black hair, surrounded by an aura of silver; a crescent-shaped mark is carved in his front, and he holds a blood-stained dagger in one hand, and a mirror in the other. Those who follow him become friends of the shadows, and are called Stalkers: they become adept at hiding and sneaking, and they may easily disappear from the eyes of their foes, in order to strike while unseen. The most potent Stalkers, the Haunters, characterized by the sharp silver claws that replace their hands, can even turn invisible at will for some time. [/hider] [hider=Azazel the Fallen][center][b]Azazel the Fallen, the Black Goat[/b] [i]To pierce the eye ov JHWH.[/i] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3oqMAJs.png[/IMG][/center] The greatest of all sinners, and father of weapons and warfare. He was not driven to madness; instead, he decided to embrace it. He is represented as a hooded figure, wearing a crown forged of the bones of the slain; in his right hand, he bears his sword, stained with the blood of the innocent; in his left hand, he bears the ending of mankind. Those who follow him, the Slayers, do not receive any gift in particular, and can cast no spell. However, they will find themselves more and more lustful for blood and death, eventually becoming brutal beasts of war and slaughter. Once all humanity is replaced by hatred, Slayers ascend to become Titans, bringers of the end.[/hider]
