_Introduction

It’s said that that long ago, man lived amongst the Divine high in the heavens, that man was created to serve the Divine. And serve man did, for he did so truly love the Divine. Yet there were those that envied the celestial beings and despised their own place in the world. This hatred was noticed by the Dark One, who then offered these men the power to slay the Divine. Man accepted, and with this pact, the first demons were born. With horrific brutality, they struck the unsuspecting pantheon hard and fast, slaying those they had once loved, and laying claim to their power.

The Goddess Seraphina, in her infinite love of mankind, led those who resisted the Betrayer’s temptation down through the Celestial Tower to the land below, the land of Haven. There were few who had remained pure, but it was her hope that man could be spared the horror of the Divine War should he be far beneath the heavens. Her followers founded a mighty city, far from the mighty tower. And they constructed a beautiful temple, in which to worship their Lady.

But the Goddess could not rest easy, knowing there were so many still trapped above, slaves to the Dark One. So she left man, despite his protest otherwise, and climbed the tower once more. This time, she cured many of those who had tasted the Dark One’s power, before leading them down the tower as well. The journey was a long and terrible one, and by the time she had returned to the city, she was severely weakened, with several new followers. More than double the first trip.

But she insisted that she must go again, for there were still more to save. Man again could not convince her to give up on those who had fallen fully corrupt, so the Goddess once more went back up the tower to the heavens.

On her final trip, the Goddess returned with even more new followers. These were those who had fully given in to the Dark One and become demons. The Goddess had cured them as best she could, but it brought her to her knees. After having returned to the grand city, the Goddess collapsed. She had used too much, and she was dying. And it was with her final strength that the Goddess Seraphina blessed the land of Haven, warding it against the forces of Darkness. And it was with her dying breath that the Goddess warned that one day the Dark One would follow her down the tower.

Of course, this was so very long ago. And for many in the land of Haven, it was a joke. The soil fought them for every crop. Savage beasts frequently attacked villages, slaughtering man. Terrible storms wrecked their homes and fields season after season. How could such a terrible land be considered blessed in any way?

But the joking stopped when the sky above the Celestial Tower tore open and waves of demons poured from the rift unto the land. The faithful and skeptical alike flocked to the Church, to seek guidance in such troubling times. Both the Order of Justiciars and the Order of Inquisitors fight valiantly to defend mankind, but with each passing day the demon horde grows stronger and larger, and mankind loses another inch. There is no winning, only stalling.

So it is with desperation that mankind turns to the Champions of the Faith, to those who have met the Lady Seraphina in the next life and sworn to be her swords and shields. Those powerful enough to fight through the demon hordes, reach the Celestial Tower, and close the rift.

This is the story of humanity’s desperate final stand and the final crusade to save it.

The fuccboi is dead, long live the fuccboi!

Three cheers for Spoopy!
May he be more cruel, abusive, and oppressive than any who came before him.
And may his reign be long and terrible!

...welp, I reckon that dead horse has been sufficiently beaten. I'll stop.

“Gavin. Pleasure t’ meetcha. And thanks, dude. That’d be awesome.” the shaggy dog replied earnestly. He hadn’t expected so much as an answer, let alone a guide. People could be surprising sometimes. He had shot a glance over in the direction that she had pointed, but didn’t immediately spot tall, green, and scaly. He did see butts and backs, though. Butts and backs as far as the eye could see. It was beautiful in a ‘not-at-all-even-remotely-beautiful-but-still-trying’ kind of way.

Looking back at Phoebe, Gavin relaxed a bit. She seemed nice. The first person he had actually spoken to aboard the Promise was cool...a good sign, perhaps? Yeah, definitely. It was going to be a good...err, year? Two?...however long he would be staying in space.

He made as if he were going to go on ahead, but stopped and waited for her to join him. She was the one that knew where they were going, so it's not like he had a choice. But that was okay. As long as she would lead, he would follow.

Gavin shifted from one hand to the other the stack of valuable information that would likely be tossed away at the soonest convenience with little-to-no reading having actually been done. He could feel something rumbling, a sixth sense of sorts kicking in… it was time.

Time for small talk.

“So, where ya from? And uh...” he began before trailing off. He was going to ask what her power was but...was that frowned upon? Rude? He wasn’t sure. It really wasn’t back home, but he wasn’t in Ohio anymore. He was in space. He’d have to follow space rules. But screw it, they were all metas here and, well, he was curious. So…

“What’s your gimmick?”

Sometimes, life took weird turns. Take today, for example. One minute Gavin was standing on nice, solid ground, looking up at the vast blue sky in awe. Just how much sky was there? How many others were looking up at the same sky and thinking the same thing? And just a short while later, he was looking down at the big blue ball, realizing just how insignificant it really was. How, in the vastness of space, Earth and all the billions of lives upon her were little more than grains of sand. No, less than that. And then a dinosaur gave a speech.

A. DINOSAUR. GAVE. A. SPEECH.

Well, more of a pep rally. Whatever it was, it was awesome and it had worked. It had gotten Gavin’s mind off of being blasted through the atmosphere. The boy fell into mob mentality pretty quickly. Laughing when the crowd laughed. Cheering when it cheered. Hell, his stomach had even started to settle, which was surprising. After they had docked, Gavin had seriously thought that he was going to launch a vomrocket at whatever sorry soul happened to be near him. He didn’t. Everybody won.

Speaking of everybody… wow. He really didn’t know what he was expecting, but this place had already blown that out of the water. Maybe he had just been swept up by the moment, but Gavin really felt a good vibe. And the energy…wow. Gavin was grinning that goofy grin of his and just looking around. Did he look stupid? Probably. Didn’t matter. He felt like a kid in a candy store. Every time somebody bumped into him to pass by, he could feel them. Their energy. Some warm. Some soft. Some rigid. Some sharp. They were more than just their energy though. Gavin took some time to just people watch and, perhaps unfairly, his eyes were drawn to the less passable metas. He hadn’t seen many before and now he had found a dinosaur and a flowergirl. A tinge of guilt stung at Gavin. That wasn’t cool of him. He’d have to nix that before it became habit and he said something rude. Staring was also pretty rude. And weird. And…

Wow. He must look like a bit of a creep, all by his lonesome and glaring at people. Well, if he didn’t have anything else to do, he might as well go say hello to Professor...uh...uhm...nope. Didn’t catch the name. Great. Oh well. Maybe someone else then?

Gavin spied a little trio. Well...little probably wasn’t the best word for them. One looked like a bear. Not literally, mind you, but he was built like it. He couldn’t help gawking. See, one of the girls had a badass robot arm. And a badass looking gas mask. And she was pretty cute in like, a badass kind of way. And now Gavin was being creepy. Again. Not cool.

Right then, maybe stick with Plan A. Find Dr. Dinosaur. Okay, easy enough…

…

Somehow, whilst creeping on robogirl, Gavin had lost sight of the giant lizardman. How does one lose sight of a giant lizard? No clue, but by some sort of idiot magic, he did it. Great. And being just short enough to not easily see over the giant meatwalls at the rear of the crowd, he couldn’t even tell if the mob was heading in the right way. Wasn’t that swell.

Rather than try to push through, Gavin decided to reach out for help. He had spied a rather tall girl who was conveniently sitting all by her lonesome. Excellent! He could exploit her height.

“Excuse me,” he began, approaching her. “Did you happen to see where the big scaly guy went? Kiiinda lost 'im. Oops.” he finished with an exaggerated grimace before chuckling and flashing the pearly whites.

@Mr Allen J
Aye, aye, cap'n!
I'm going to assume you mean Phoebe since cockblocking Abraham and Jasmine doesn't seem like a healthy decision for fuccboi?

@Mr Allen J
It really is hard to find good help these days. But don't be sad, guy. We can always kill me some other time!

In the meanwhile, send nudes. Please and thank you!

@JunkMail

YAAAS! This guy gets it.
Though, let's be real, kinda feels like Abe's just gonna straight up verbally mow all these fools down. He'll single-handedly break all the peeps. It'll be like Christmas morning all over again.

Anyway, I'll post after I get some sleep. I'm trying to write here, but I just keep lowkey passing out, so that's my sign, I guess.
