A war has ignited between three kingdoms within the mess of executions and accusations. Many other kingdoms have chosen to avoid any contact between the three main kingdoms with the decision to remain neutral for future or sake of themselves, leaving the three at heads with each other. The war has yet to grow, though it has at least been played off on a battle field at least once. What was the case that started it all?
Well, it's said that there was an assassin from the Kingdom of Gabriel hired to take out royalty from the Kingdom of Michael. The royals of Gabriel stated that they saw evil ready to overthrow the Kingdom of Michael through the throne. The kingdom had assassinated Michael's queen and king in order to prevent this from happening. Michael's new queen and king were willing to rage a war against the Kingdom of Gabriel, but another kingdom stepped in. The Kingdom of Raphael wanted to keep a peace treaty intact between the three kingdoms, and thus the kingdom became allies with the two. However, Raphael's king was discovered with such plans and was turned away as a liar and backstabber by both kingdoms.
The tension between the kingdoms rise day by day, however there is one kingdom that still remains. One kingdom that they thought their ancestors locked up for good, but this fourth kingdom sees its opportunity to take back its lost glory and more…

Species
✥ There are only five humanoid species in this world, or at least ones who can comprehend the common language, and they are listed as the following: angel, blessed human, human, cursed human, demon. Not all of them coexist, for some villages ban cursed humans as much as they ban blessed and angels. However, they make up the population of the world.
✥ Angels can come in two forms: a spirit born into a creature or descended as a visit to land, however they remain as low-tier celestials. Only archangels and regular angels can be seen since seraphs and virtues do not find a reason to visit the land. Angels are adored by many humans and they can bless humans with a smaller version of their own ability. They have their feathery white wings, but whether or not they display them is a choice. In humanoid form, it can be painful to display wings. When their wings are folded back up, they have scars for their sockets for their wings. Typically, angels have their wings on their upper-backs, but they can also be found on their lower-backs or even their heads. However, an angel can only have one pair of wings. If a wing is cut off, it can take about three centuries to grow back.
✥ Spirit-possessed humans are different from regular angels. When a spirit comes to possess a human body, they can take the body completely for themselves or coexist with the human. However, the human must tend to the spirit’s requests of doing what is right and justice in their eyes. A human who follows these commands overtime will create a bond so tight that the angelic and human spirit cannot leave each other, thus becoming a complete angel. However, if the spirit does not approve of the human’s actions, they will depart the person and they shall be pure human all over again.
✥ Angels who have come from the celestial plane are not so well-aware of human surroundings. An angel who has visited the land before will be able to adapt better than one who visits for the first time. This is because the celestial plane does not have as many inventions and lifestyles as humans do, leaving them confused at any given second. They do not bring any items from the celestial plane to the human other than robes. If a robe is stolen from a celestial, it can be sold for a high price due to how soft it is and how easily it flows.
✥ Blessed humans are humans who have been chosen by an angel to be given a portion of their power. Often times, the ability is more support-like and defensive. The angel they are specifically blessed by determines the small power they are given. Many blessed humans are left with an angel’s mark, though where it appears varies with all humans, and others may not have visible marks. A blessed human can lose their abilities when a demon, or even an angel, strips it from them, but demons are prone to doing this by cursing the human.
✥ Now, a regular human is one of the most admired creatures by a number of angels and demons. Even when humans do not see their own value, they are admired by these foreign beings. Humans are not able to capture the essence of magic or supernatural abilities without having a blessing or a curse upon them. Many humans are fine without either while others seek the creatures for one of the two. Once a human is blessed or cursed, they usually don’t come back as being humans. Demons are perfectly fine with keeping a human cursed for their whole life, but if an angel feels like a human is misusing their power, they can strip their blessing from them. That is the only way of becoming human again after being blessed or cursed.
✥ Cursed humans are humans who have been chosen by a demon to be given a portion of their power. This ability tends to be more destructive and offensive. Depending on the demon who curses them, their ability can vary. Cursed humans can also be left with a visible mark, though there are some cases where a mark cannot be found. Once a human has been cursed, a demon doesn’t take their power away from them. This could be for any various amounts of reasons, between driving the human insane or to add upon the chaos in society, or perhaps there’s no reason behind it at all.
✥ A demon can become in two ways: be an angel fallen from grace or, sometimes, born from a demon. There are many types of demons, between incubi and average horned demons, and they all have their different preferences of destruction. Other times, they don’t tend to care about destroying things, but rather living for themselves. Whichever the case may be, they go about living the desire they seek. A demon can pose themselves as a human, too, depending on their ability or how close to a human they appear to be in the first place. Most demons have their own set of wings that also leave scars on their back, but they can also have horns or a devilish tail. Some demons may appear as devils and are usually able to pose themselves as a higher source. They are not greater than any other demon though. If they lose a wing, horn, or tail, it could take about three centuries to grow back.

*This quote relates to your character. It is not something they would say, but how people would feel about them or see them as. In a sense, it’s like judging the book by its cover, or your chance to crack a joke.
**You can only have one ability. You must be an angel or a demon to have an ability. Cursed humans and blessed humans have abilities that are given to them by an angel or demon which relates to the angel’s or demon’s original power. A plain human would put in their skills, such as swordsmanship and dagger proficiency, instead of an actual ability.
***If you can post the picture, please do. However, if the picture is really huge, do put it in a spoiler for the rest of us.
Rules
1. Follow site rules.
2. Listen to co-GM, Wisp, please. E̶x̶c̶e̶p̶t̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶I̶c̶h̶a̶b̶o̶d̶ ̶B̶i̶c̶k̶a̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶A̶u̶b̶e̶r̶o̶n̶ ̶k̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶i̶s̶t̶e̶r̶.̶ ̶T̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶.̶
3. Literacy is highly recommended and preferred.
4. There's no character limit and even genders are not required.
5. Knights, warriors, and bishops are different by the following: knights come from a noble family or have riches, warriors are pretty much like pawns, and bishops are essentially battle-mages.
6. Kingdom of Michael's king and queen were once prince and princess before the murder; until one of them marries, or if they choose, they will continue to rule as one. Thus, they must agree with each other for something to be done.
7. If a kingdom has a prince or princess, but does not have king or queen filled out, prince and princess will be bumped into the role of the king & queen. In return, there won't be slots for prince & princess unless otherwise younger siblings or children of a current ruling king or queen.
8. The only reserves you really need to make for is a king’s and a queen’s slot; everything else can have as many people as possible. However, let’s say that somebody playing king lists in the biography that they only have two brothers. Then, a limit is put. You can also request a reserve for an unlimited spot if you like being a dick.
9. You may reserve a spot, but your reserve will only be up for a day *or* the requested time you’d like your reserve to be up. If you do not specify, the reserve will only be up for a day.
10. There will be clean-up once every week. If you do not post in IC, you will be removed from the role-play. If you notify the GM about your absence beforehand via PM or OOC, you will not be removed for that week.
11. God-modding is not welcomed. If I sense your ability is over-powered, I will inquire it, and I expect you not to throw a hissy-fit about it. If another member feels like your ability is over-powered, I will consider their judgment. Do your best to avoid being invincible during combat and be proud of your weaknesses. If I say no, it’s no, and that’s final.
12. Be as creative as you like, but I will also inquire and request as I like.
13. Read everything between character profiles and posts. Your lack of knowledge will not be my responsibility.
14. I would like to credit Wisp and TaroAndSelia for adding fancy additions to the role-play. It is very much appreciated along with everyone’s new ideas and hard work.
15. You will refer to these rules as the Fifteen Commandments.
