Here's the set-up:
Deep beneath the streets of a sprawling town called Grand City, a confrontation occured.
An alchemist, obsessed with a new power he's obtained, has taken the souls of two gods and the cells of a dangerous demonic virus and spliced them together.
This improved demon virus has given him unnatural powers, and enabled him to control demons. He decides to destroy the population of the city by injecting the virus into the water supply.
He is accosted by a police officer named Vincent Sinclaire, just as he is about to do this, and after a brief skirmish, Sinclaire falls into the contaminated water.
Awakening a few hours later, Sinclaire finds himself having been changed, and is now a twisted hybrid of a demonic god and a human.
In the city above, twisted mutants and creatures have been born from the effects of the Alchemists virus.
But his ambition cannot be completed by this alone.
Sending two powerful demons to the heavens and deep into the Earth, the Alchemist has called upon the wrath of Heaven and Hell, and now the armies of both are meeting to do battle in the streets of Grand City, each being decieved by the Alchemist.
Heaven and its allies now fight Hell and its allies in an epic struggle. In the middle are the ones who survived the destruction of their city. Sinclaire, now given new powers, will join with others in order to fight and survive...and to take revenge upon the Alchemist, who destroyed their lives.
BOTTOM LINE: Basically, you can make a character, either a lower, demi-god (like Eros or Callisto) and design them as you wish, or create a human who has been twisted by the virus.
Character design:
You make a character following these guidelines (i'll make my character as an example)
Name: Vincent Sinclaire (Most just call him Sinclaire
Job: Elite Police Officer
Age: 26
Deity: Sobek (link for basic info
http://www.pantheon.org/articles/s/sobek.html He is very loosely based on him.)
Description: Now that he and Sobek have become fused, he no longer looks human.
He stands about seven feet tall, with a white, shimmering armored torso. His arms are greyish, ending in clawed hands. On his back are blades made out of hard, bone-like material and in fleshy sheaths. They are small, dirk-like blades. His legs are the same as his arms, and his feet are like taloned human feet.
His head is humanoid, but there's a large, cicular growth in the back instead of hair, that glows like the sun.
Element: Light (there are now a few new Elements: Besides Force (wind) Electricity, Fire and Ice and Earth, there is now Water, Dark, and Light.
Weapon: The blades float alongside him when he undoes the latches that hold them in the sheaths. He controls them mostly with his mind, though he has to move his arms and body in order to swing them with any degree of force.
Bio: Having tracked down the Alchemist in order to arrest him in link to a series of murders, Sinclaire and his crack team of police officers were all thrown into the viral infected water treatment system. Now, the whole city's drinking water has been contaminated, and the citizens are either dead or turned into demons.
He has vowed revenge on the Alchemist, and is now trying to find his way out of the maze-like sewers in order to grow used to his demonic new body.
Now, the world. Basically, the factions are:
Heaven: Still ruled by YHVH (YHWH?) and Metetron, Metetron's role is more direct, but he isn't currently involved in the attack on Grand City. He has sent Michael to lead the attack, and Uriel and Gabriel to back him up, but he has enlisted a few allies to supplement the armies needed.
Alighnment: Law
Hell: Ruled by Lucifer, its a much bigger, grander, less organized version of Heaven. Lucifers army is bigger, but lacks the power and coordination of Heaven's forces, so numbers are how he wins most battles. Lucifer has sent his right hand man, the Arch Fiend Mammon to lead his forces, along with their allies.
Alighnment: Chaos.
The Minions of Ra: Basically, the Egyptian Pantheon. They work with Hell, supplying them with info, strategy and manpower. Sobek is orginally from them, but Sinclaire is neutral. Another exception is that the main strategist for the Minions of Ra, Thoth, has joined Heaven for unknown reasons.
Alighnment: Chaos
The Pantheon: The Greek Gods, with a few Roman and Japanese gods, they serve Heaven and Metatron. Their leader is Athena, who rules them with an iron fist and a powerful military mind. Her second-in-command is Aries, one of the more powerful demons/gods in the attack.
Alignment: Law
Others: A spattering of other Hindu, Japanese, Egyptian and Persian gods and demons have also come to the battleground of Grand City, but they have chosen no particular side.
Alignment: Neutral
The Aesir: A small, but strong group of Norse Gods, led by Thor, also have come to the city, choosing no side by their own. However, Thor has a vendetta against Heaven, and refuses to aid them or any who side with Law.
Alignment: Neutral/Chaos.
Promethius' Army: Promethius has become something of an immortal weapons dealer. He and his group of gods and demons who serve him work for the highest bidder, and are not above betrayal and double-crossing. They offer powerful weapons and personnel however. They currently work for Heaven, constructing a secret weapon.
Alignment: Neutral/Law
The Survivors: Basically, this is you, the RPer. Any gods living in secret in Grand City, or an infected human fall in this category. You may join any group, but most will not take you easy, and it is reccomended for survivors to try to band together.
Alignment: Neutral
The point of the RP is, you start out as a Syrvivor, a neutral party, and you can then decide to join one faction to bring down another, or you can join a neutral group and help both sides, or you can stay fully neutral and fight everybody.
This is a very mythological RP, and very serious, all who are interested, post a character following the guidelines I set up.
Would anyone be interested in joining this RP? It would require mature and expirienced RPers.
