The Beginning​

​

Evolution without strife is meaningless. This is a lesson often forgotten by humans as they search for new ways to make life easier on themselves with as little effort as possible.

Since the beginning the Watchers have overseen the human race, insuring that they would not annihilate themselves and even calling upon the mighty Metatron in times of need when the guidance of God himself was needed. No matter how much bloodshed the Earth had faced, the humans always seemed to be in the favor of their Creator regardless if they worshiped Him or not.

As time passed on several of the Watchers grew curious as to why the humans were treated so kindly despite their countless mistakes. While many did not believe the humans were not worthy of such love that was bestowed upon them, the Angels still had their affection for them. Some believed that they were better suited at guiding humanity to a new future. This was what lead to their fall.

Several members of the Watchers, guardians of the human race, defected from heaven bringing with them a number of followers that made their numbers just over 200 strong. Instead of doing battle with the human race and ruthlessly conquering them they revealed their incredible powers to the humans. These fallen Angels promised the humans a chance at everlasting peace and amazing knowledge all for the price of nothing but exchange for love. These Angels were to be treated as gods.

The humans, who had just recovered from a terrible war that had drastically cut their numbers down to one-tenth of their former number saw this as the perfect opportunity to begin anew. Blindly, they followed the Fallen in hopes of making their own race stronger than ever before.

This did not please the Elders, Angels of high rank and vast power. Though each of the Fallen had varying reasons for descending to Earth, the result was the same, they had chosen to intervene humanity’s progress and even mate with them to create unholy offspring.

In order to handle this atrocity, it was ordered that the Earth be cleansed of all the Fallen and their influence. There would a flood to wipe out all life in order to start from with a clean slate. The ArchAngels disagreed and argued against the Elders so that Earth could be saved.

Time passes differently on Heaven than it does on Earth... While the Angels in Heaven were fighting over a solution, the Fallen had constructed a massive tower that could house the entire remaining population of the Earth. They had also covered the skies in a veil that would obscure even the sight of God from watching them from Heaven. Three hundred years on Earth had passed since they had arrived.

Finally, a decision was reached. Humans who had already died before the fall of the Angels would be sent to Earth tasked with the job of finding the Fallen. From there the humans would have to either kill them or forcibly drag them to Heaven for their judgment.

Of course, humans would stand no chance against the Fallen. Angels, even those cut off from Heaven, were vastly stronger than humans and had an arsenal of deadly powers...not to mention their Nephilim who grew stronger with each of their own kind they slew. While on Earth, these previously dead humans would receive the Grace of Heaven and be granted enhanced physical abilities and one single power. The ArchAngels knew this would not be enough however and decided to guide the humans down to the Earth and assist them in any way possible as their Guardian Angels.

The humans were chosen to descend to Earth had been picked in an almost random fashion...at least to them. Lucifel, the most revered Angel in Heaven, told them that it was because of their bloodline that they were chosen. Somewhere in their ancestry was a connection to a man who had ascended to Heaven without ever dying and had become an Angel. They were not told who this was or which Angel he had become but this was the reason they were given, nothing more.

Now the humans stand outside the gates of Heaven, ready to descend with their Guardian Angels down onto Earth which will have changed far beyond what they could have ever dreamed possible.

Rules

1. Basic rules apply. No Godmodding(irony?), Power Playing, keep it PG-13, and follow KHV’s own rules.
2. Nephilim cannot have a mother who is an Angel and cannot be related to Angels who have not fallen.
3. For humans, the use of their Guardian Angel’s powers will only last for 3 posts starting from the post where you activated it. Those powers cannot be used again for another 30 posts so use it carefully.
4. Fallen Angels and Nephilim will not turn into “good guys†unless I say so. They’re not necessarily evil but they won’t be changing sides.
5. For the fallen Angels, stick to the personality given to each of them.
6. You can only have one human and one fallen Angel maximum. You can control as many Nephilim as you want however.
7. Lots of religious stuff in this RP. Especially stuff regarding Angels. I don’t care what your religious views are, this is an RP so don’t get offended. Also, I’m purposely changing a lot of things about the Angels and mixing some stuff in from actual religious text. Next to none of this is from the Bible. The Bible is actually a terrible reference for Angel stuff!
8. PM me or VM me if you have any questions or comments. Or even if you feel like talking about Angels! I KNOW A LOT.
9. Nobody starts off with a weapon. Don’t worry about crafting your character to have massive combat experience. It’ll be assumed that everyone (mysteriously) knows the basics of how to fight.
10. Have fun and stay active!

The Fallen

Spoiler: Fallen Angels

Semyaza [Taken by me.]
Semyaza is rarely seen, many of his commands are issued through his subordinate Azazel. Even before his fall Semyaza kept to himself. The Angels know very little of his personality or what was the true reason behind his descent to Earth. He has created not a single Nephilim.

Azazel [Taken.]
Semyaza's second-in-command. Azazel fell from Heaven because he believed that he could bring about the evolution of the human race. Through him, humanity achieved massive strides in all areas of knowledge and technology has advanced to the point to where all forms of illness are a thing of the past. Azazel will do everything in his power to keep the tower from being breached by the forces of Heaven. He has very few children.

Sariel
This Fallen had descended to Earth for his love of the humans. With his powers he attempted to bring joy to all his people and surrounded himself with legions of women. Sariel has a twisted sense of love and believes himself to be the protector of those who serve him. He harbors a great number of Nephilim fathered by him.

Ezekiel
The only female of the Fallen and therefore childless. Ezekiel brought knowledge of the astrology to the humans and seems to be obsessed with the night and day cycles of the Earth. As she has no children of her own, she considers herself to be the mother of the humans and treats them just as a mother would...even if it comes time to bring "tough love".

Baraqel [Taken.]
Has several Nephilim. He is self-obsessed and extremely violent. His reasons for falling are simple. He wished to rule over a species he believed to be beneath him.

Armaros
He lost his voice during the descent to Heaven. Armaros is not entirely mute but cannot form coherent words and often screams instead. Armaros fell from Heaven out of curiosity for the mortal world and is by far the most peaceful of all the Fallen Angels, having been friends with some of Heaven's oldest residents. He has very few Nephilim, most of which are passive.

Arakiel
A calm Angel with powers specializing in Geomancy. He has no Nephilim of his own. Arakiel's reasons for falling are unknown.

Elias was once a priest when he was alive but after having spent so much time in Heaven, he remembers very little of his former life. He has made friends with several Angels and was saddened to see several of those he knew fall from Heaven.
Personality: All in all, Elias is very much what one would call a "do-gooder". While he has never done an act of violence while he was alive, he recognizes that given the current situation he may be forced to rely on such methods to bring the Fallen to justice. He's a bit on the serious side and very stubborn.
Guardian Angel: Uriel
Power: Purification

Bio: Joan lived during the time society was prospering and had at first lived the typical life of a girl. She doesn’t remember too much of her past due to her wanting to forget it completely, but all she can remember is at one point she had lived in an abusive household, and the one responsible for her death was her abusive father. She already knows for a fact that her distaste for violence comes from her past life.
Personality: Soft spoken and extremely slow to anger. Joan usually prefers to think twice before setting her mind on a goal and rarely shows any form of aggression.

Age: 29
Appearance: http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u446/sintur/Viking_Warrior_by_severeene-1.jpg
Bio: Boris lived during the time where the warrior was revered all over the world. Hailing from the land of the vikings, many times Boris has killed and pillaged, all for the glory of Odin. Despite his violent life and worship of other Gods, Boris was otherwise pure of heart so his ascension into Heaven made sense. Yet he secretly harbors a resentment, he would've preferred an eternity in Valhalla.
Personality: On the exterior, Boris is cold and unapproachable. With his huge stature and bravado-filled speech, many men feared Boris and for good reason. Boris knows his way around a fight much moreso than any other individual and will attempt to make a winning situation out of a bad one.

Juci has the habit of being pretty dramatic, theatrical wise. Hints of semi-sarcastic personality are present within her. Showing strong ambition towards her and her Father's goals, she's willing to do anything to please him. She is almost as self-obsessed as her Father, constantly yearning for violence or power. Juci tends to hide behind her mask, the helpless child act, in order to fool those she wishes to eliminate.
Father: Baraqel.
Abilities: The ability to create Illusions, abnormal strength. [not super, super duper strong, more like adult strength for a child -I suck at explaining, okay.]

Other: N/A

Username: Aragorns
Name: Naseni(NN-ass-en-eye. Anagram of 'Insane')
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://images.wikia.com/bioshock/images/a/ab/Leadhead_Splicer.png
Personality: Paranoid, quick and ruthless. Anyone who looks the least bit like a threat, he'll kill. He has the habit of wondering his father's floor/wherever in the tower he's allowed to go muttering things that don't make much sense. Not very social either, infact, he seems to only get along with his own siblings... and even then, he's been known to attack his brothers and sisters.
Father: Azazel(or Sariel if Azazel is not an option for some reason)
Abilities: He can jump incredibly high, though if he jumps too high, he has chances of breaking his legs. His other ability is that he can make people start seeing things. (An example is if one person is trying to run away from him, no matter where they go, they'll think he's just round the next bend.) Eventually they'll proberly go insane. Though this dosn't work on those with a strong will and mind.(like, I suppose an example would be it wouldn't work on Machina's character... and mabye not Boris either. Mabye.) His last ability seems to be that he never runs out of bullets... not that he's very accurate.
Other: He is seemingly insane, believing himself to be in a city under the ocean, and that through a 'Saviour' by the name of 'Elenore', he will be reborn. Until then he'll wonder the 'Hallways of Atlantis', or, as he sometimes calls it, the 'Corridors of Rapture'. He'll also say some other random stuff, and seems to be talking to a 'Aragorns', 'Darktraitor' 'Bushybrow', 'Droid', or a 'Machina' most of the time, of course, whenever he talks to these 'people', there's no one there. He also uses a 1960's handgun.

OOC Thread Link​

 

​

"You sure that you're fine going by yourself, Elias?" The black-haired Angel Lucifel spoke as he folded his arms and looked over the human with his bright red eyes.

"No problem. Everything's fine." Elias responded confidently as he turned his back on Lucifel and jumped down beneath the white mist and landed right in the palm of the giant seven-fingered hand. As soon as his shoes hit the hard stone the hand dropped at an astounding speed. He was alone, save for Uriel, in this journey. It would be no easy task to take on the Fallen, even with his new powers. Elias's eyes glanced over towards the ArchAngel Uriel, who took the form of an elegant swan. Aside from the Fallen and Lucifel, no Angel could take a form other than this unless their powers were being drawn upon. He watched as white streaks of air tore at Uriel's body as he dived alongside the hand, unphased by the sheer speed of the descent.

It would take some time before they would reach Earth, even at that speed. Elias clasped his hands behind his back as he stared at the emptiness they were passing. Nothing but white in all directions. Until...

"What are those!?" Black figures started to rise from the palm of the hand, appearing from absolutely nowhere. At first glance they looked as if they were nothing but a dense black fluid. Then they took form. They were small humanoid creatures that lacked a head and stood at a height about half of Elias.

"Beasts of the Darkness. Heaven's Grace does not extend this far. This area of in-between is corrupted beyond appearances. Prepare yourself, Elias!"

"Don't worry, I brought you a little present." Lucifel's disembodied voice came through. As soon as he spoke a sword made of a brilliant metal appeared out of thin air in Elias's hand. If he was going to fight the Fallen, he had to be ready for anything and everything he could possibly run into.

"Right. I've got this."



It was then in that battle that Elias faced death's door. He had been overwhelmed so suddenly by these beasts. He lost. A resident of Heaven who dies cannot simply return to Heaven. If Elias had been killed there, the Earth would have surely been doomed to face the Flood. This was not his appointed time to die. The last sound he heard before everything faded into darkness was the snap of Lucifel's fingers. Everything had changed. Time had been turned back. This time, Elias wasn't going alone.

"You sure that you're fine going with these guys, Elias?" The black-haired Angel Lucifel spoke as he folded his arms and looked over the human with his bright red eyes before turning his attention over towards the other humans who stood beside him.

Elias smirked. "No problem. Everything's fine. I'm not alone." With that, he jumped through the mist, this time with the other humans and ArchAngels by his side.





OOC: For those that don't understand my post, I'll explain. Elias was going to go on the journey on his own. He failed right at the start because it was too difficult for one person to accomplish alone. Lucifel(an altered version of Lucifer for this RP) snapped his fingers before Elias could die and turned back time. Now all the humans(the OCs) and Guardian Angels are heading off. The banner of the hand in this post is where they'll end up now.

 

OOC: Sorry for not posting lately, guys. Been doing a lot of moving lately. D: ...And other stuff.

BIC:




Elias headed over towards the first finger on the far left of the giant stone hand, pausing only one to look over at the one who had spoken to him. He refrained from answering just yet as he took another few steps forward to examine the finger. It seemed to be wearing some kind of large...thing. It stuck out upwards towards the sky a few feet and was made of the same material as the hand. Whatever it was, it reminded Elias vaguely of a ring or some kind of oversized lock. "I'm just as prepared as anyone here." He finally answered Boris as his eyes gazed off into the distance. The ArchAngels were each diving down alongside the hand as it made its descent. The swans looked so unnatural moving at such speeds unaffected by the dive as air visibly passed quickly around them in large streams.

"In case you're wondering..."

The sudden appearance of Lucifel startled Elias. He spun around on his heel to stare at the Angel. Lucifel was the only one of Heaven's Angels who could take on the form of a human. He was dressed in an odd fashion. Though these clothes had not been made in his time, Elias knew what was it that he wore. Lucifel seemed almost vain to dress in such a way but if Elias asked, he knew that the Angel would just sum it up to being his sense of "style".

"Those things are Michael's Rings. Not literally of course." Lucifel glanced over at the flying swan he knew to be Michael, the one who had actually created them. "Not the name I would've chosen of course but these little locks will be enough to imprison the Fallen for all eternity if you can manage to bring them back here. Of course there's only seven rings so the others..." Lucifel smirked at the group. "You all will just have to mop them up. Now then, these things haven't been put to use yet so you might need to give them a little beating to open them up. Try hitting them."

"With wha-" With a snap of his fingers, Lucifel summoned several ordinary looking swords into the group's hands.

"That's all we have right now I'm afraid. Heaven's weapons have been stolen by the Fallen so when you get down to Earth all of you will have to start recovering whatever you can to use. Those swords won't stand a chance against any other weapon you come across. They'll also be worse than useless against the Fallen." He motioned towards the group so they could hit the seven rings to force them to unlock so that they could be ready to be used.

 

As the others hit Michael's Rings the locks split in half and rose slightly with a loud creak that almost gave the impression that the rings could crack from the sudden movement. They weren't broken, one could tell because the line along which they had split was smooth and followed the patterns engraved on the rings. Elias tightened the hold on his own blade and brought it down on the largest of the seven rings, watching it open and rise the moment his blade struck.

"I think that ring will be best suited for locking away Semyaza in, don't you think? Tear out their souls and imprison them for eternity. A fitting punishment."

Elias had nothing to say towards Lucifel's comment. Angels were vastly different from humans. What seemed a harsh punishment to them would be something expected amongst the beings who normally did not even know the meaning of death. Angels were held to different standards, that was for sure. He stepped away from the ring and looked towards the other two that had been yet to be opened. "Anyone going to get that?"

 

OOC: Sorry for taking so long to reply. I've either been busy or just wanting a short break from RPing. I've RPed for five years here now(almost) and needed time to let ideas come back. :/8D:

I'll hurry this up along now.

BIC:


The last lock split open at last. Elias tightened his hold on the blade at hand as he looked around the giant stone palm, waiting for those creatures to appear once more. After a moment it became apparent that they would not attack this time around which surprised him. 'I suppose they don't appear to attack large groups. Hm...that could be useful.' He looked around once more, noticing that Lucifel had disappeared without a word. It was just like him to leave like that.

"I wonder if we're almost there-" There was an extraordinarily loud crash as rocks of the terrain bellow suddenly crumbled as the stone hand came to its stop, jolting Elias forward and nearly causing him to fall down. The seven-fingered hand stretched open as the massive fingers were brought down to the ground. Dust kicked up from the impact but the group could clearly see past the hand.

It couldn't have been Earth. This place looked too foreign...too alien. The ground was solid white as if it had been covered in snow yet everything was so warm. Elias looked at the sky to see a swirling mess of bright shades of blue, purple, and green. No Sun was in sight...neither was the Moon. Elias stepped forth and leaped off the hand, hitting the ground hard with a thud. There was some white sand but most of the terrain was solid and almost looked as if everything had become stone. "There's no grass or wildlife. Is this truly Earth?" He looked above towards the Guardian Angels who had begun to circle overhead in the sky.

"We have truly arrived. What you see here is not an illusion. The sky has been covered in a veil by the Fallen." Uriel answered Elias's call, speaking out towards all the other humans. The home they had all departed in death was not the same place they had returned to. This was what they had to save Earth from.
