Inferno: Bloodbath in Hell

[Kingfisher]

Lucifer rules supreme, but for how much longer?

Change is brewing in the Nine Circles of Hell, as whispers of a new order are carried on a dark wind. Nine champions, one from each circle, emerge to challenge Satan’s rule, and claim his throne of skulls as their own.

The Arch-demon waits patiently within the ninth circle, amasing his monstrous armies of demons and hell-hounds, whilst the hapless hordes of sinners tear each other apart in the realms above.

More and more souls flood into Hades with each passing moment, adding fuel to the bloody war-machine.

Marching upon the frozen citadel at the heart of Oblivion, a dark and twisted road lies ahead for our champions, which will surely claim the souls of billions.

OOC:

Welcome to Hell! Enjoy the Buffet.

Inferno takes place in the underworld, where nine gang-like armies have emerged with the intent of becoming the undisputed Emperor or Empress of Tartarus. The players may take control of a character who embodies one of the Nine Circles, and who leads a militia of similarly-aligned followers.

The story is very loose and susceptible to change, as I’d like to try and go for something fairly casual and easy to jump on board with. Oh also, souls which die in Hell are destroyed permanently.

Any takers?

This looks really interesting!
Uhm. Is there going to be an abilities section in the character sheet?
ARe we allowed to use real characters from history as our character?

@malmshodes

Glad you think so! :D

I can put one in if you'd like :)

And yeah, that should be fine! I'll be doing an Original Character for Gluttony, but you can do someone from history.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I'd take a Wrath dude.

[malmshodes]

So are these "nine circles" going to be based on Dantes inferno or is there another nine circles I'm not familiar with?

[malmshodes]

Oh and far as abilities go I guess it depends on how the demons are like. Are they just like humans but really strong, Do they have a plathora of character specific abilities, etc, etc?
My suggestion would be to make something akin to a crown/mantle for each level which Goes to levels strongest demon. Just an idea though

@Esterdi

Glad to have you on-board! And you can have shotguns on Wrath :)

@malmshodes

Ja, Dante's Nine Circles. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

@malmshodes

I'd like it if abilities could be in some way connected to the character's circle/sin or skills they've retained from their previous lives.

[Pathfinder]

I'd be down for some greed action.

@Kingfisher
Are these demons humanoid in appearance or are we allowed to have fun with it?

[malmshodes]

Could I get the first circle?

@Pathfinder

Vaguely humanoid, but you can chuck in horns, tails, wings etc.

@malmshodes

Sure, I'd have to judge your CS first, but you're welcome to submit one.

@Kingfisher
Forgive me if this is obvious, but what are demons exactly? Are they fallen angels or are they hell spawn? Or something else entirely?

@jordy0403

Demons are fallen angels, but the player characters will be sinners who've ended up in hell and have managed to rise to power.

Once we've got a little bit more interest I'll work on getting the OOC up.
