(Summary written by King Wolfe)
[FONT="]♥[/FONT]Fight! Cry! Despair! The Things You Do For Love ♥
[FONT="]Angels and demons in Western cultures have been described as creatures of supernatural properties. The classical term would be divinely creations. Angels would be of the most beautiful woman surrounded by light and goodness with a halo atop their heads while demons would be concoctions of the damned, dark, evil creatures with pointed tails and horns. To be honest, it isn’t anything like that. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Angels are the manifestation of light and goodness; they are divinely messengers that are created from our own existence. While demons are the manifestation of negative emotions and dark deeds. Greed, hatred, spite, jealousy and many more are the very things that compose a demon. Humility, kindness, love, and other “good” qualities compose the angels. It has been that way for a very long time actually until more recently. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The old ways of Heaven and Hell have been foregone when they ushered in the New Age. They stepped out of the boundaries of more classical and conventional methods of using angels and demons and they had decided on a truce. This long conflict of good and evil had become tiresome and in all honesty, cumbersome. In essence the two factions are trying to accomplish the same goal, preserving the balance between their planes of existence and the human world. To accomplish this they both settled their differences and tied their source of existence – Heaven and Hell respectively – to Earth. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The result being that both the angels and demons literally became bond to Earth. The angels took more human qualities and their appearance, not based on the old methods, became based on human culture. The demons as well. As a result, the appearances of the angels and demons remains rather ambiguous. They take on human appearances and they shed their old cloaks. And because they are tied to human culture they lost all memory of their past existence and can only remember their “human” lives. [/FONT]
[FONT="]It is said that after the fall of the Roman Empire angels and demons have taken up residence on Earth. And because of their bond to humanity they hide in plain sight, taking on their humanly facades and living amongst the mortals. They don’t interfere directly in human affairs but they influence everything. The rise and falls of great empires, the start of wars, the advancement of technology, all of this has been influenced by our supernatural creatures. [/FONT]
[FONT="]However, do not misunderstand. It isn’t like the demons have been influencing war while the angels have been influencing all of the good things. Both factions believe in the sense of balance, so they both have a part in worldly events. Still, even immortals can screw up sometimes. They are slow to change so instead of coming up with original events they tend to replay past events over and over again to get a different result. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Some don’t take the New Age lightly. They find this Age disgusting and revolting, they feel that the humans should deal with their own affairs where both angels and demons should deal with themselves as well. They find mortals unsightly and unbecoming of such perfect creatures, so as a result they did the unthinkable. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The gate between Heaven and Earth has been severed. Angels can no longer come to Earth or go back to Heaven. But that isn’t the worst part: Hell has been shattered. The gate to Hell has been split open and all of the creatures of the damned, even those that existed before the New Age, have been pouring out to Earth. Congestion has been created at the gate of Hell and it has swollen up so greatly that any demon cannot go back into Hell. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The Angels blame the demons for their gate being severed, and the Demons blame the angels for destroying their gate to Hell. So, what to do?[/FONT]
Angels
[FONT="]The Angels have been living on Earth since the fall of the Roman Empire, but they have “reset” their existence to match the humans. As a result the oldest angel may look as youthful as twenty. But that doesn’t matter at this point. The angels were previously seen as divinely messengers of God, they are beautiful, untarnished, and perfect in every shape or form. However when the New Age started the angels became adhesive to human culture. Meaning that angels always follow humanity’s apex. Or, to put it simply, the angels will represent what humanity is at that point of existence. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Back in the 1950s when angels overwhelmed the United States of America they influenced a huge spike in music and rebellion. So the angels back then looked like your average rebellious teenager speaking about freedom and lovey-dovey hipster stuff. At the start of the 20th century angels took on a more technological savvy role, as a result they were the more brilliant, albeit annoying, geniuses. But, in this time period there is so many things influencing the world that there is no more default angel. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Basically, angels can now look, act, and literally be anything they want to be in this world thanks to overpopulating states and technology advances. How the mighty have fallen. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Demons [/FONT]
They were the manifestation of evil and darkness. Their only purpose was to wreck havoc and as an agent of chaos, everything was fair game. Quite literally a complete opposite of the more saintly angel. But in this New Age, the demons have become a bit more docile. They take on the appearances of those reckless people, the ones with the clever glint in their eyes that make you question if this man is a genius or a madman. Ironically enough, it isn’t the angel that is the human muse but the demon.
Angels advocate advancement and prosperity whereas the demons, most of the time, advocate innovation and curiosity. They are that reckless teenage spirit that makes you think “What if?!” But with this new group of mortals they think the demons are the bad guys here. They think demons are responsible for the wars and for the bad things in the world when really they aren’t, heck even the angels aren’t to praise for the good things. These two factions are merely a whisper in your ear on good ideas, both of them want what’s best for humanity, but the people they whisper to often misinterpret their ideas.
Point is, the demons in this age are those suspicious teenagers you see in the street. The ones that are often misunderstood and pegged as troublemakers. But, let ye heed this warning. In the past there were bad demons, since the gate of hell have been broken those “bad demons” have been released into the human world. Watch your step.
Oh, one last note.
These two groups had amazing powers right? Well ever since both of the outerworldly gates have been broken they can no longer retain their powers. Some still can but since they are grounded on Earth the longer they stay on Earth and the longer they stay around humans the more human they become and in turn the faster they lose their powers and become mortal.
