FAQ

---

What are the age ranges for the characters? I.e. how old is the oldest #1, how old the youngest number?

Ages can vary greatly as the experimentation started at different times for each subject. The oldest is #1 and he is roughly 50 years old.

Is there an approximate descriptive scale of what the differing levels of apetite mean? What does 1 apetite signify, what is the max?

Appetite ranges from 1 to 5, with one being a low degree of appetite that hardly interferes with their everyday life and five being a constant and difficult battle with self-control.

Quick question: each one of the 'numbers' were spread through the world (except #1), right? Each one with a 'handler' and they were 'created' by the same group/organization. Do they (or their handlers) still have a set allegiance or something after they were spread through the world? Or is it totally possible for one of the numbers be someone employed by US to aid in humanitarian efforts and at the same time, another number being the exact opposite... Something like being part of the Russian Orthodox Clergy, aligned with Russia's militaristic politics?

Handlers are for the most part aligned with the Catholic Church to some degree even if they are serving another government or intelligence organization. But they are human beings, so they can have their own goals and allegiances despite where their leadership is.

A failing world needed hope.

Oh, how will you handle the voracious fangs you have sharpened?
__________________________________________________________________________
The year is 2021, the downfall of humanity is at our doorstep and scientists around the world clamor every day attempting to undo the destruction we ourselves have wreaked upon our own home. While hardships like poverty and world hunger are still very apparent, the forces of the world instead press their resources into more devastating matters like rising sea levels and ever increasing temperatures every year. Many small island countries have had to completely evacuate their populations and migrate to the larger landmasses causing already bursting areas to deal with overpopulation leading to rising crime-rates on a global scale. Soon many smaller governments began to break down and be consumed by larger countries, others were destroyed from within altogether.

It had literally become H E L L on Earth.

In our darkest moment, the powers of the world began to shift into places it had not for centuries. The Catholic Church reached out its hand to the impoverished and weak, offering them salvation from the world in exchange for their faith. It had become known as The Second Great Awakening and the drastic increase of religious sects around the world skyrocketed within a matter of months. It wasn't long until the church had completely consumed Italy, and their influence spread throughout the Europe completely overtaking many of it's smaller countries and territories sparing only France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The religious superpower of the Catholic Church would soon grow enough presence and capital to place their fingers in the decision making of the crumbling world, and it was the Pope himself that pressed forward a single idea. And that idea is the true beginning of our story.

1: The Numbers

Subjects 1 through 3 have all demonstrated positive results. Introducing them to one another was a brilliant idea by the handlers, now they collectively refer to themselves as family. That is hardly the case, each subject was extracted from somewhere different around the world. But on the other hand they are experiencing this trauma as a group, and nothing brings people together like shared trauma. Phase 2 will begin exactly a month from today, we are expecting a mortality rate of 50 to 60%. Hopefully those that are lost during the procedures are the more unruly. Subject 1 in particular would not be missed by myself nor many of my fellow researchers. Updates will continue monthly as instructed by the upper brass, do not expect as much elaboration in those reports however. I dislike writing about these fucking creatures honestly, so I welcome the need for briefness in our letters to the church.

__________________________________________________________________________
November 2, 2030// Amadeus Island, ???
__________________________________________________________________________
We lost fewer of the subjects than calculated. Subject 1 seems to be completely psychologically broken due to the loss of Subject 4. Lead Researcher Takizawa believes we should prevent further communication between the subjects to halt the degradation process. We will attempt to rehabilitate Subject 1 for the next few weeks and if this is seen to be wasted effort then they will be recycled for a future subject. Subject 4's corpse will be harvested for test materials, perhaps being purposed for Subject 13 or 14. Phase 3 will once again occur next month and it'll unfortunately be harmless to the subjects, though I pray for higher mortality rates in the future. These little monsters are slowly becoming less and less human as more testing is done to them.

__________________________________________________________________________
December 2, 2038// Amadeus Island, ???
__________________________________________________________________________
Phase 3 was a failure on a development standpoint, but on the other hand Subject 1 has made a swift recovery because of it. The Promised Children Project will be deemed a success if Phase 4 ends without any human casualties. If it ends up being a success, we will go public with the projects results and present them to the world. But like I said in a prior entry, these things are no longer human anymore. The subjects don’t even refer to eachother as humans any longer, instead referring to themselves as “Numbers”. Whatever keeps the little shits quiet and easy to handle. One of our blood work girls keeps calling Subject 7 a little angel. She's an idiot, these things are genetic anomalies and the fact that they're alive is insane as is. Subnote: That same blood work girl is constantly stared at by Subjects 1, 2, and 3, those are the oldest and thus they are most likely feeling some form of attraction to the nurse.

2: A Dying World

T H E U N I T E D S T A T E S & A F F I L I A T E D
The U.S has gone through their own difficulties over these years. While their campaigns in other countries have ceased they still deal with internal battles against those who oppose the establishment. Financially they are on a downward trend due to the infighting, and the growing power of the Catholic Church continuously seems to sap away the support of the people as they do in other countries. However, the U.S have surprisingly been making a more positive impact on the world as of lately due to recent changes in leadership and a sweep of political corruption. Most notably their current president has been taking steps into assisting destabilized countries with food and other vital resources and offering funds as tight as they may be, to allied nations with similar agendas to their own. The new president is quite secretive, refusing to make public appearances or even fully disclose information about himself other than his name "Mathias E. Biersworth" which has in turn caused lots of conspiracy theories to surface within his own country about himself. Another notable bit of information is the creation of the "51st" an artificial island planted in the center of the Gulf of Mexico, this new state hosts a number of testing grounds for the country's geoengineering projects along with other secret facilities hidden within.

C H I N A , J A P A N & A F F I L I A T E D
With the ever increasing ocean levels large populations from countries like Taiwan, and The Philippines were forced to migrate to unaffected countries nearby. Japan's landmass had already shrunk quite a bit and at a certain point immigrants began to be turned away due to overpopulation. While their current Prime Minister is a very good man and has placed numerous resources into assisting in the well-being of the Japanese people, the amount of people was impossible to house and feed. This forced many to instead turn to places like Korea and China which at the time had been going through political struggles. China's resources were rich but the country wished to seize the opportunity of utilizing immigrants for cheap labor and forced military service, while on the other hand Korea offered those whom traveled to their country the opportunity to live there in peace under the condition that they cut contact with any outsiders and selected a desperately needed occupation. The largest influx of course made their way to Korea, though they are reaching their maximum capacity soon as well.

E U R O P E , R U S S I A & T H E C A T H O L I C C H U R C H
Europe and the Russian Territories are a different beast compared to the rest of the world. As the church's fingers reached their way to mainland Asia, the only thing that stood in their way was the militaristic monolith of Russia. While the Orthodox presence is still rightly strong within the country's borders, the true reason for their opposition to their rise in power is due to their own wish for conquest themselves. And in this Russia has found a military opponent in which many support, while other countries clamor to research ways to save the world and slow the apocalypse Russia instead dumps every man and resource into advanced weaponry. On the other hand you have the Church themselves who control more than half of the European countries and the military forces they own. The Pope's headquarters of course stands reinforced and ever populated in Italy, which although is greatly smaller than before, boasts as the most prosperous country in the world all in thanks to God himself. Few countries have yet fallen to the growing religious empire, the U.K struggles to retain independence as their economy crumbles and farmland continues to disappear, Spain is currently dealing with a civil-war between those who oppose the church and those who support it, while France stands as a sort of "envoy" for the rest of the world to communicate directly with the Clergy in Italy.

N E V E R F O R G E T

After the failed final testing phase on Amadeus Island the surviving promised children had their memories erased and were dispersed to the church and their associated allies. #1 is the only Number that has thus far been revealed to the world and has become a pseudo-figurehead for the Catholic Church so the Pope may puppetmaster things elsewhere in the world. #1 has displayed his M I R A C L E to the public, this ability being the healing of himself and others through the administration of his own blood. P.R members of the Clergy have taken to calling him the messiah, and the promised children themselves to be messengers of god who've come from the heavens to bring the faithful to the gates of Heaven themselves. This is obviously just propaganda to sway the masses in favor of these creatures so newly introduced to the public eye within society. As for the others, we shall assume they are scattered around the world being utilized for different purposes in each country. They have been harshly conditioned to obey their keepers and their memories of prior events has been completely o v e r w r i t t e n. But what if you haven't forgotten? The meaningless games of life and death that these humans play, and have played for hundreds of thousands of years. Why should they involve you? Are you simply a pawn brought unto this world to be slid across checkered tile, subservient until the moment of death? Why were you even born, and the only family you have ever known was stripped away from you. Was everything you were taught back then a lie? What are these thoughts flooding your mind? What is your purpose? Why are you so hungry? How can you make it stop?

Miracle Guide

<sup>The overall strength of a miracle isn’t really restricted as it is kept in check with the degree of the subject’s appetite. It is completely acceptable that a few of the children would have gained some excessively overpowered ability: turning things they touch to dust, summoning shadow creatures out of the void, nothing is really off the table.

As their appetite increases, stronger and stronger safeguards are put upon the subject by the military that is in control of them. Appetite is really what it sounds like— how hungry they get directly correlates to the subject’s sanity. If it is not directly handled before the breaking point, irreparable can happen to the subject’s psyche.

Appetite is satiated by human blood.</sup>

It’s minimalistic because I want the world building you guys do to be played close to your chest. Shoot me a DM with your plans so I have it in my pocket.

Maybe I join. If I do, can I just copy-paste? Or do you want something fresh outta the oven?

If anyone else plans to be fed plants in the USA, let me know. Might CIApost.

You can bring back your old character Rodey, I’m just running the intro a little differently this time. Less spread out so players can interact.

Trinitas | #3 possesses a threefold set of powers, each representing one of the three hypostases that make up the Holy Trinity as a means of creating a "perfected soldier." Each person makes up a facet of #3's very self, yet rather than separate personalities, they all come together as one whole being. Through this, #3 is capable of performing thought processes at threefold the efficiency of a normal human, dividing his brain into three sections in a matter similar to how a computer partitions its memory. It is this triune of abilities that made #3 a "one-man army" at his prime.

Patris | The wisdom of the Father, #3's mind of steel manifesting as the Father's wrath. It is the wisdom of one who brings divine judgment to the world, a sixth sense that applies to all forms of destruction. Essentially, it is the mastery warfare and all its applications from tactical acumen to feats of arms by means of high-speed calculation. As long as it can be recognized as a tool that can bring forth slaughter, it can be used by #3 to its absolute potential. The mind of the Almighty who had brought countless cataclysms to an infant world, it is the source of #3's silent yet ferocious wrath.

Filii | The body of the Son, who had incarnated onto Earth to take on the sins of man. #3 is blessed with a divine body, physically enhanced with warfare in mind. Increased speed, strength, reflexes, and endurance, #3's body has reached the apex of human ability. It is similar in nature to the divine physique that the the judge Samson possessed, allowing #3 to enact the wrathful visions brought forth by the Father, yet it is still within the realm of humanity as it is also a representation of the Son's love for mankind. A perfected body that will never deteriorate, yet one that can never truly feel the pains of humanity, it is this deific physiology that is responsible for #3's cold, almost robotic lack of emotion.

Spiritus Sancti | The soul of the Holy Spirit, and the most supernatural of #3's abilities. The guidance of the dove, the holy light which brightens the path for all that are faithful. It is, in essence, the ability to "grasp" at all possible futures in order to reach a destined outcome. Rather than finding the best course of action, all potential paths to a desired end are presented at once in the form of quantum computing. The ability to see all outcomes in a given situation, one must possess both a mind that can parse through these outcomes and a body capable of proceeding towards one's desired future. By synchronizing his mind, body, and soul, #3 is capable of performing calculations at the level of the most advanced supercomputer. Of course, given the nature of The Father, these calculations end up leading to destructive ends. It is this enlightenment that is the source of #3's single-minded focus towards his mission.

Along with his abilities, #3 possesses decades of experience as a field agent in the CIA, and the necessary training to boot. #3 seems to always have a pack of Marlboro no. 27s on his person along with a silver-plated Zippo lighter. He prefers using Italian firearms, and carries a pair of suppressed Beretta M9s, modified to maximize fire rate in exchange for stopping power. The engravings on the pistols serve no tactical purpose whatsoever.

#3's primary weapon of choice is a Japanese sword that once belonged to a nameless swordsman who was among the countless prosecuted Christians during the Tokugawa shogunate. As the swordsman was said to be a "sword saint," it is the only weapon that #3 finds suitable to call his own.

His appetite is controlled by bringing utter destruction to his targets. The time for forgiveness is over, may the enemies of the Almighty know only His wrath.

@n0cturnal1

Bump his appetite up to 4: the power level of the ability is actually fine but because of how complex it is I’d say you’re going to have a nudge the psychosis slider to have it make sense.

But once you’ve done that, he’s ready to rock and roll.

[SilverPaw]

Me to myself: Don't make it too OP. /.../ But what if? Hey, what if cool thing?

Anyhow, if it's ok, I figure he might be stationed in Vatican, presumably to protect the Pope and the city. As long as he's within his 'domain', it's unlikely (but not impossible!) for him to be defeated. Outside of it...his limitations will be more apparent.

Fiat Lux | #5 can generate and manipulate light. From illuminating vast areas, creating illusions of "holy light", bending light to make something invisible, to firing off concentrated beams which obliterate all in its wake, Five's power is as immense as it is versatile. However, as the Sentinel, he primarily deals in the creation of light constructs, specializing in protection and immobilization.

It takes months, but he can create nigh indestructible, city-sized barriers, specifying exactly who or what may enter or exit. Such barriers can be set up so natural light automatically fuels them, requiring only the occasional active upkeep on his part. He can also, for example, implement specific parameters of temperature, UV radiation, etc., thus producing a habitable dome. He has been experimenting with alarm systems which would alert him to disturbances (such as hostile intent), but it is a thing of finesse, which can easily overwhelm him if the limits are too broad. For the same reason, he rarely connects to his barriers - if need be, he can establish such a mental connection to get a general read of how many are inside his barrier, sense areas of concentrated danger, or even track a specific person. However, his keepers know not to demand it of him if it can be avoided, for his sanity is fragile enough as is.

Besides barriers, his second most used constructs are chains. The chains can extend as far as he needs them, and if he and his target(s) are within one of his barriers, it's practically impossible for them to escape him. Then, there are his spears: radiant spikes which appear to rain down from the heavens to pierce their victims, disintegrating them on the spot. He has been tasked to use the latter both to provide relief to the faithful as well as to purge the sinful - it takes talent to make death appear beautiful.

Once, there was an incident which led his body to break down into pure light, only for it to fully reform mere meters away. Five has not attempted this again, nor does he wish to. Thankfully, his superiors agree that this ability is to remain sealed.

@Haha What would be the desired age range for characters? Would they vary all over the place at all, or given how long time has passed would they all be older?

@Crusader Lord

Higher numbers will be younger but I’m not being really restrictive with age. Just be aware that there’s going to be bordering tasteful amounts of edge.

Diabolus Angeli | #12 possesses two contradictory sets of powers, one representing the light of her soul and the other representing the darkness of her heart, splitting her self and identity into two very different, yet parallel, halves. The Angelus expresses herself according to whichever side is currently in control _{h̶̡̢̧̩̤̦̦̦̥̞̻̘̬͐̔́̇̈́e̴̡̢̜̦̗̮̠̫̫̻͎͎͗́̾̾͑̄̾́̈́͝ṙ̵̨̫̘̺̟̲͇͋́͛̄̑̿̀̔̇͝ẽ̵͍͙̙̠͚̥̬̘̱͋͂̍͌ţ̶̩̳̦͖̬͔͕̹͇̳͍̲̊̌͌̄̏̂̈͛͂̈́́̓̄̄̚͝į̶͚̺͕̤̻̙̩̩̣͉͔̥̽̅̾̐̈́͒̏͜ͅc̴̡̛̰͕̦͇̙̰͓̦̞̠̈}, and her wings show it best. Regardless of which, humanity is no longer a factor for her.

Uriel of the Light | Blessed with the powers of life and healing, Uriel can manipulate the life-force of all things in creation to heal wounds, purge diseases, and restore vitality, bringing back even the most grievously injured from the very brink of death, as well as transfer her own life-force to rejuvenate and/or empower others. Her very presence inspires hope and soothes the masses. She is attuned to the vitality for miles around her, detecting the presence of all forms of life, their strength, and condition. Often used to locate and revitalise dying environments and restore polluted habitats and the creatures that make them their home. Life is everywhere, from the smallest prokaryote to the largest cetacean; from the most luscious, abundant rainforests, jungles and farmlands to the seemingly inhospitable deserts and depths of the ocean.

Azrael of Death | Cursed with dominion over death and decay, Azrael is the inverse of Uriel. Possessing the ability to control the essence of death, she is able to decay a being’s existence with a touch, as well as reanimate and command the corpses of the dead. Where she walks, vitality withers. Small plants shrivel, dead flesh rots with unnatural speed, the living are filled with dread, and once-sturdy structures seem to waver as she passes by. She sees the threads of life and death and can perceive where they end. Less public. The pitch black wings _{h̶̡̢̧̩̤̦̦̦̥̞̻̘̬͐̔́̇̈́e̴̡̢̜̦̗̮̠̫̫̻͎͎͗́̾̾͑̄̾́̈́͝ṙ̵̨̫̘̺̟̲͇͋́͛̄̑̿̀̔̇͝ẽ̵͍͙̙̠͚̥̬̘̱͋͂̍͌ţ̶̩̳̦͖̬͔͕̹͇̳͍̲̊̌͌̄̏̂̈͛͂̈́́̓̄̄̚͝į̶͚̺͕̤̻̙̩̩̣͉͔̥̽̅̾̐̈́͒̏͜ͅc̴̡̛̰͕̦͇̙̰͓̦̞̠̈} sprouting from her back prove her name _{h̶̡̢̧̩̤̦̦̦̥̞̻̘̬͐̔́̇̈́e̴̡̢̜̦̗̮̠̫̫̻͎͎͗́̾̾͑̄̾́̈́͝ṙ̵̨̫̘̺̟̲͇͋́͛̄̑̿̀̔̇͝ẽ̵͍͙̙̠͚̥̬̘̱͋͂̍͌ţ̶̩̳̦͖̬͔͕̹͇̳͍̲̊̌͌̄̏̂̈͛͂̈́́̓̄̄̚͝į̶͚̺͕̤̻̙̩̩̣͉͔̥̽̅̾̐̈́͒̏͜ͅc̴̡̛̰͕̦͇̙̰͓̦̞̠̈}.

The Truth

Uriel and Azrael share the same ability, but expressed in seemingly antithetical ways. Every single “cell” in her body is wrong and under complete control, displaying properties that make them capable of a variety of near-esoteric effects.

Uriel doesn't heal so much as “remodel”, infusing plants and animals with her “essence” to restore them to their peak and even beyond that if she so wishes. Everything that contains her “essence” is permanently “marked” by her and can have its body forcibly altered if within her range. She also leaves large deposits of her “essence” buried deep underground, similar to expansive plant roots, to be used as weapons or as replacements if necessary.

Azrael's “essence” has the opposite effect. It cannot ever heal; it can only kill or cause harm to the living. Her “essence” spreads decay with her as its source, breaking down organic and inorganic matter (living beings take longer to decay), and also overwrites the bodies of the deceased, twisting them into her “thralls” that remain even if Uriel is the one in control. Her essence, spread out and amplified over time within her thralls, can be reabsorbed to bolster herself and the others.

Even her body is simply a mere facsimile of life. Destroying it has no lasting effect on her.

The Angelus is proof of _{h̶̡̢̧̩̤̦̦̦̥̞̻̘̬͐̔́̇̈́e̴̡̢̜̦̗̮̠̫̫̻͎͎͗́̾̾͑̄̾́̈́͝ṙ̵̨̫̘̺̟̲͇͋́͛̄̑̿̀̔̇͝ẽ̵͍͙̙̠͚̥̬̘̱͋͂̍͌ţ̶̩̳̦͖̬͔͕̹͇̳͍̲̊̌͌̄̏̂̈͛͂̈́́̓̄̄̚͝į̶͚̺͕̤̻̙̩̩̣͉͔̥̽̅̾̐̈́͒̏͜ͅc̴̡̛̰͕̦͇̙̰͓̦̞̠̈} heaven _{h̶̡̢̧̩̤̦̦̦̥̞̻̘̬͐̔́̇̈́e̴̡̢̜̦̗̮̠̫̫̻͎͎͗́̾̾͑̄̾́̈́͝ṙ̵̨̫̘̺̟̲͇͋́͛̄̑̿̀̔̇͝ẽ̵͍͙̙̠͚̥̬̘̱͋͂̍͌ţ̶̩̳̦͖̬͔͕̹͇̳͍̲̊̌͌̄̏̂̈͛͂̈́́̓̄̄̚͝į̶͚̺͕̤̻̙̩̩̣͉͔̥̽̅̾̐̈́͒̏͜ͅc̴̡̛̰͕̦͇̙̰͓̦̞̠̈}, as destroying her physical body is not enough to truly slay _{h̶̡̢̧̩̤̦̦̦̥̞̻̘̬͐̔́̇̈́e̴̡̢̜̦̗̮̠̫̫̻͎͎͗́̾̾͑̄̾́̈́͝ṙ̵̨̫̘̺̟̲͇͋́͛̄̑̿̀̔̇͝ẽ̵͍͙̙̠͚̥̬̘̱͋͂̍͌ţ̶̩̳̦͖̬͔͕̹͇̳͍̲̊̌͌̄̏̂̈͛͂̈́́̓̄̄̚͝į̶͚̺͕̤̻̙̩̩̣͉͔̥̽̅̾̐̈́͒̏͜ͅc̴̡̛̰͕̦͇̙̰͓̦̞̠̈} her, since as long as her soul remains, her body can be restored.

Her appetite is only satiated by spilling the blood of sinners, for even slaughter can be a form of prayer.

@Aku the Samurai

Okay, the council have decided that while I’m being pretty open and accepting of abilities— absolute domain over life and death is a liiiiiittle too intense. My game developer brain is kicking in so while I love the character conceptually and Spectre is my Arknights darling, you’re going to need to nerf the abilities a bit or reconceptualize it.

#2 has checks and balances because even though he’s fighting like he’s in DMC, there are going to be supernatural forces on the battlefield to actual challenge him.

#5 even with the manipulation of light (someone with a science degree is going to start talking about light not having mass, but this is fantasy) requires time to and energy to create the feats he’s capable of.

Thanos snapping people and super healing magic is cray cray.

If you want to DM me, I’m home for the rest of the evening to help.
