[hider=Goddess of the Heavenly Host][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/k4nnA5V.png[/img][/center][hr][b]Name:[/b] Ilias [b]Race:[/b] Goddess [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Origin:[/b] Monster Girl Quest [b]Objectives:[/b] Establish a new Heaven, and recreate the world in her image. Genocide any monstrous elements where relevant. [b]Temperament:[/b] [s]Arrogant, Condescending, Manipulative-[/s] I mean, unconditionally kind, patient and loving to all humans. They are like her children, after all. [b]Affiliation:[/b] Heaven [b]Alignment:[/b] Lawful Good [b]Background:[/b] Ilias was the self-proclaimed Goddess of her world, before she got betrayed and killed by the Hero Luka. Or so she thought, but now she's here, along with a few of her subordinates. Immediately after arriving, she was attacked by strange, mutant creatures resembling monsters, but possessing power beyond imagining. To make it worse, somehow, they had been transported to a world without Heaven, so neither she nor her host of angels were resistant to the sudden new enemies attacks, as they usually would be. The result, was the loss of an entire host of Angels before Ilias and her subordinates managed to escape into the sky and to the nearest landmark they could find. There, they licked their wounds and tried to make sense of this strange new world. And by they, I mean Promestein tried to make sense of it, while Ilias threw a tantrum after finding out she was too weak to kill so much as a fly with her remaining divine power. This tantrum mostly involved bullying Eden, who was also in a reduced state, albeit not nearly as extremely as her mistress.[hr][b]Skills:[/b] As a Goddess, Ilias doesn't see much need for complex skills, preferring to absolutely destroy her foes with pure power. What skills she does employ, are entirely intellectual. She's a ruthless strategist, and a terrifying manipulator. With patience and control beyond measure, she plays her opponents like puppets in the palm of her hand. She sets up elabourate and carefully measured plots that span hundreds, or even thousands of years, pulling them off even under the scrutiny of some of the greatest minds in her world. No matter your wit and the preparations you make to face against her, never underestimate the Goddess of Light. [hr][b]Abilities:[/b] [i](In her sealed state... there isn't very much that Ilias can do. She is, to put it plainly, straight up weaker than most of the Ninth Level Angels she has serving her, her power level falling closer to that of a ten year old girl with a taser. Still, its worth mentioning that the ten year old in question was once the near omnipotent Goddess of Light, and there are certain qualities from her old being that she still retains even in her child-like state.)[/i] She also possesses all of the innate physical traits belonging to her Angels, such as flight, conditional invulnerability and exploding into holy energy on death. [u]-Holy Magic:[/u] Ilias is still able to preform most of her divine magic in her current state, it is just ludicrously reduced in power and has a much more limited number of uses due to the lack of holy energy in this new world. Examples of this holy magic are a magical binding, similar in strength to wrapping the enemy in a rubber band. For a more offensive approach, she can employ the fearsome Thunder of Retribution, which boasts a raw power equivalent to rubbing your feet on shag carpet and touching your opponent. Learning of these fantastic powers at her command, its easy to see how she could have dominated an entire world for millions of years. Oh, and she can tear out souls. And melt them into holy energy. That hasn't changed, because its not really something that requires raw power. [i]Praise Ilias.[/i] [u]-Angel Creation:[/u] Something Ilias came up with to combat the infinite loneliness of timeless solitude in the nebulous void of holy light that is Heaven. By fragmenting her consciousness, and creating a double of herself from a mold of holy energy, Ilias can give birth to new beings with their own personalities and traits, derived from her own existence. She can give them a variety of traits and appearances, but she can't do anything to take away their individuality, or instill them with knowledge beyond that of any other newborn creature. Thankfully, [i]most[/i] Angels stay absolutely loyal to their creator for the rest of their lives. So she never has to worry about those pesky rebellions! So long as she has holy energy available, Ilias can always create more Angels. However, in this new world with such limited holy energy, it has become incredibly difficult to produce Angels of any significant quality or quantity. This is something she is going to have to remedy, before she can make use of any of her more effective classes of Angels.[hr][b]Equipment:[/b] B-But that's heresy! [s]Protagonist Points: 0 [/s] [b]Threat Rating:[/b] 2 [i](Reduced from 3 due to a sealed state.)[/i][/hider] [hider=The Scientist of Heaven][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/k35asIA.png[/img][/center][hr][b]Name:[/b] Promestein [b]Race:[/b] Angel [i](Ninth Circle)[/i] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Origin:[/b] Monster Girl Quest [b]Objectives:[/b] To know the truth. [b]Temperament:[/b] Clinical, and curious. Has a distinct interest in humanity. [b]Affiliation:[/b] Heaven [b]Alignment:[/b] True Neutral [b]Background:[/b] The founder of the Seekers of Truth, who gambled everything on the pursuit of the final answer to her studies, and lost. Upon finding herself in a strange world, under stranger circumstances, her flaming passion for science and discovery flared up once more. She has grudgingly sided with her least favourite person for the time being, so that she can get a better grasp on the situation.[hr][b]Skills:[/b] Magic. Alchemy. The sciences. Promestein, who sought to uncover every last secret of this world, is a master of all who accelerated the world to unimaginable technological heights, just as she once accelerated mankind by gifting them fire. [u]-Science & Fabrication:[/u] Given time, Promestein can create incredible technologies. Using advanced bio-engineering and robotics, she can forge new life forms to fit her needs, or use cloning to duplicate and iterate upon existing designs. Complex machines and sentient AI, virtual gods that govern the elemental forces, nothing is beyond her grasp. All she is lacking, is materials...[hr][b]Abilities:[/b][i] (The same capabilities as any other Angel of the Ninth Circle. Conditional invulnerability, innate flight, the works.)[/i] Promestein, unlike Ilias and Eden, isn't sealed. This isn't because she had any sort of special protection or anything, but rather, she was simply so weak to begin with that there wasn't much left to weaken when transported to this new, inhospitable environment. [u]-Alchemy:[/u] Different from science or magic, existing somewhere in between and dabbling in both sides equally, Alchemy is the art of the transformation of matter. Using strange chemistry and arcane methodology, this is the primary technique Promestein uses for creating her various laboratories and scientific instruments. Its worth noting that while many mundane materials, and even precious metals can be transmuted easily, special materials are beyond reach without significant time, and effort. [u]-Magic:[/u] Nearly indistinguishable from her command over the sciences, Promestein nonetheless is stated to have vast command over magic in all of its forms. These aren't used for combat, but rather, to supplement her various creations. She has been shown to be able to reverse-engineer most magic given time, and craft a variety of powerful magical devices, especially methods of sealing or disrupting magical power.[hr][b]Equipment:[/b] All of the tools she needs to establish a laboratory, courtesy of Alchemy. A simple mirror, for scrying. Samples of human DNA.

[b]Temperament:[/b] Majestic, pure and undyingly loyal to Ilias's goals, desires and opinions. Like a flying, eldritch puppy. Just don't mention the number three around her. [b]Affiliation:[/b] Heaven [b]Alignment:[/b] Lawful Good [b]Background:[/b] The third Seraphim created by Ilias, and also the only one who didn't inevitably betray her. She tried her hardest to get along with Ilias's other allies, namely the heretic Promestein and rogue Monster Lord, Black Alice, but in the end pretty much everything she did went wrong. Eventually she was sealed by the Hero Luka, and now she finds herself here, given another chance to cherish and protect the light of her life. She could ask for no greater pleasure.[hr][b]Skills:[/b] As one of Ilias's greatest generals, Eden is a master of military strategy. Unlike the other two Seraphim, she did not specialize in single combat, instead ruling from behind the scenes and, if the time called for it, crushing her opponents with the sheer strength of her true form.[hr][b]Abilities:[/b][i] (Similar capabilities to other Angels when in her human form. This includes flight, conditional invulnerability and the power to explode into holy light on death. As a Seraphim, Eden possesses incredible strength, speed and durability compared to other, lower-class Angels, although not nearly as great as she would possess in her true form.)[/i] [u]-Holy Magic:[/u] Uses the same Holy Magic used by other Angels, at the level of Seraphims surpassed only by the Goddess Ilias herself. Binds, barriers and blasts of holy energy are all possible, although with the limited amount of holy energy here on the Ragnarok Array, she has trouble using any large amount of Holy Magic, even with access to a Node. [u]-True Form Assumption:[/u] While normally its something she could preform on will, in this new world that is completely void of any holy energy she has trouble finding the circumstances where she can assume this state for any extended duration of time. Only in a region bathed in holy energy can Eden attain her full strength, and crush the foes of Heaven under the might of her many wriggly appendages.[hr][b]Equipment:[/b] A golden spear, with Ilias's name carved millions of times in microscopic font along the shaft. She calls it the [i]"Iliaspear"[/i]. [s]Protagonist Points: 0[/s] [b]Threat Rating:[/b] 2 [i](Due to limited access to her True Form.)[/i][/hider][hr][hider=The Heavenly Host][img]http://i.imgur.com/YHvpMXj.png[/img] [b]Faction Name:[/b] Heaven [b]Leader:[/b] Ilias [b]Alignment: [/b]Lawful Good [b]Universe of Origin:[/b] Monster Girl Quest [b]Starting Situation:[/b] Battered [b]Background:[/b] In their world, the forces of Heaven served to project Ilias's will into the surface world, and to fight against her enemies. Angels beyond the level of the Ninth Circle rarely interacted with the human world, instead governing from heaven. Entering this world with close to 1500 strong angel soldiers and two loyal Angel captains to lead them, Ilias should have been perfectly set up to succeed in this arena of death. If only luck had been in her favour. Before she and her warriors even had a chance to prepare, they were assaulted by incredible, mutated creatures similar to monsters. It took everything they had, and the sacrifice of one of Ilias's captains to buy them a window to escape. She, her generals and her remaining soldiers took to the sky, seeking out a high place to claim as their seat of power and lick their wounds. Only just recently have they begun to fortify, Promestein searching for appropriate territory to establish a laboratory and Ilias and her followers establishing holy ground around the unusual structure Promestein has temporarily christened a [i]"Node"[/i]. [b]Officers:[/b] [s]-Cupid[/s] [i](Deceased)[/i] [u]-Valkyrie:[/u] An [url=https://i.imgur.com/cAxPt8n.jpg]Angel[/url] of the Ninth Circle, whose combat prowess was said to approach that of an Archangel. Serves as a captain in Ilias's angelic host. [u]-Karen:[/u] A named [url=https://i.imgur.com/b5ngjKp.png]Replicant[/url], the first to see the improvements Promestein came up with over the original Replicant design. A loyal lab assistant, possessing a brilliant intellect and an improved reproduction ability over her sisters. Serves as Promestein's second in command. [b]Victory Conditions:[/b] Divine Resurgence [i](See "Holy Energy" right below )[/i] [b]Special Resources:[/b] Holy Energy. The energy, and material used to form Angels and power their Holy Magic. By converting Nodes into holy ground and sanctifying them with Ilias's power, they can create stationary wells of holy light, which saturate a small region with energy in conditions mirroring those in the Angel's home environment. Over time and following the addition of new Nodes, pouring out Holy Energy into the environment, the amount of space governed by Ilias's light will grow drastically, until eventually it covers the entire station. When this happens, Ilias will pronounce the Ragnarok Array to be the new Heaven, and transform it into the seat of her divine power in the universe. Nothing in this world can stand in her way at this point, as she turns her eyes to the surrounding chaos... [b]Order of Battle:[/b] Ilias's angelic host is... limited, at the current time, but certainly not weak. Currently, it consists of a single battalion of 600 [url=http://i.imgur.com/w28d9Nm.jpg]Angel Soldiers[/url] with combat experience and armed with swords, heavenly whips and longbows. While lacking in raw destructive power, the Angel soldiers have enough strength to successfully grapple even high level monsters. Logistics and Support staff are made up of Replicants, serving under Promestein, of which there are several dozens. [u]-Skirmish:[/u] Scouting formations of Angel Soldiers. Often lead by their Captains (Valkyrie). Meant to filter out weak enemy forces, collect samples and catch opposition out of position. [u]-Battle:[/u] Disciplined formations of Angels, the line being held by Captains (Valkyrie) and backed up by one or more of the humanoid commanders (Ilias, Eden, Promestein) depending on the situation. Special weapons or units may be deployed by Promestein's research team during this phase, but nothing that requires significant backup and energy. [u]-Climax:[/u] All-out war mode. If combat reaches this state, Angels part ranks to make way for the supreme weapons of Heaven, and the greatest of Promestein's creations crawl out from whatever dark holes she has them hidden. Enemies still standing, stand briefly. [/hider]
