Blood and Magick: Armageddon

Desperate times call for desperate measures

Awakened after eons in exile, Lilith and her daughters, the seven deadly sins, have free reign of the mortal world while the defenders descend into the underworld to rescue Sorcha, incarnation of Archangel Michael. Chaos reigns, doomsayers proclaim the end of days, and no help is in sight. Mortal peacekeepers are helpless against the supernatural onslaught. Possessed by the sins, mankind hovers on the brink of mass insanity; the only safe houses to be found lie on consecrated ground, and churches, cathedrals, mosques, and temples are filled to the brink with refugees.

In the underworld, the crown princes of Hell prepare to make their own move. What exactly that is remains unknown, but they also are gearing up to stop the rescue of Sorcha, mankind’s last hope. The alliance between the underworld and Lilith must be severed at all costs… but just how high will those costs be?

Name: Sorcha
Age: c. 1600 years old
Gender: female
Species: vampire-witch
Gifts/powers: she has the limitations and strengths of a vampire of her age (sunlight is harmful but won't destroy her, she doesn't have to drink blood as often, strong telekinetic powers, extreme physical strength, skin like white marble, ability to fly, ect.), but can also communicate with spirits and manipulate elements (earth, air, fire, water) and can, at will, transform into a winged, angel-like version of herself with huge red and black wings, though any use of her witch powers can drain her, but no where near as much as it once did. She can join with the spirit of the archangel Michael, but rarely does anymore; it causes her pain for reasons that she refuses to discuss with anyone.
Physical Description: Average height, pale skin, and blood red hair halfway down her back are her physical trademarks. Her eyes are deep grass-green. She used to, and occasionally still does, wear a short black leather skirt, black corset with red inset, and knee-high boots, but most of the time is dressed in a simple, sleeveless black satin gown.
Personality: Party goddess. She loves to have a good time, and sometimes has difficulty "buckling down" when things get serious. Always the one to have some quirky remark, not many can take her on in an argument or a battle of wits. When she does get serious, then you know things are getting pretty bad, and someone's about to get their ass kicked. A great friend, trustworthy confident, and powerful ally, you definitely want to be on her good side.
Lately, however, she has been stressed and a much different person than usual. Tensions in her family, especially between her and her son, have made Sorcha into a mere shadow of her formal self.
Origin/History: : Born in Ireland, Sorcha was a Druidic high priestess who traveled Gaul during the early days of the Holy Roman Empire. She was called to a gathering to help with a problem stemming from negative energy; during the ritual, the energy attacked her and nearly killed her when she was saved by the merging of a divine spirit with her own. She didn’t know what spirit it was, but she has a feeling that it was an important one, since afterwards she practically became God’s general on earth. She later found the spirit to be the archangel Michael. Not long after her transformation, she fell in love, but the man she fell in love with was destined to die. God promised that would be someone for her, and that he would come in time; that promise was fulfilled with her union with Koger, human form of the ancient god Marduk, who has since regained his former strength and disappeared. Now, in a desperate move to save her son, she has given her life and is being held by the four crown princes of hell.

Name: Melanthe
Age: unknown
Gender: Female
Species: Succubus
Gifts/powers: Ability to feed off of the lust and sexual energies of others, she is the physical embodiment of lust.
Physical Description: Five foot seven with bleached-looking flawless white skin, shoulder-length blood red hair (in this, having a disturbing resemblance of Sorcha), piercing ice blue eyes. She wears a black leather halter-style top that covers very little and tight black leather pants with heeled leather knee-high boots.
Personality: Cunning, deceitful, manipulating... Nothing good here. She knows the darkest desires of those around her and uses that to her advantage.
Origin/History: Daughter of Lilith and Adam, cursed by God and banished to a pocket dimension, she spent eons working her way free and escaped back to the mortal realm. Here, she seduced and corrupted Mateo, son of Sorcha. From there, she was able to destroy Sorcha's physical body, using her blood in a rite to open the doorway to the pocket dimension and loose her sisters and mother upon the world.

Name: Zarahlinda
Age: at least 3000 years old
Gender: female
Species: vampire
Gifts/powers: In addition to the "traditional" vampiric powers, she is able to commune psychically with those who have dedicated themselves to her, call leopards (and wereleopards) to her aid, and other powers that will be disclosed later...
Physical Description: Her skin was once a deep olive color, yet after three thousand years out of the sun, little of that tone remains. Her hair is long, thick, and black, falling to her waist. Despite the length and texture, it never seems to get tangled. Her eyes are a deep brown, and are kind most of the time; every once in a while, when she's angered, they burn a bright brown color. She wears a floor-length conservative black gown.
Personality: Zarahlinda is one of the oldest vampires in the world, and her mere presence carries the weight of that age. She is extremely powerful, but doesn't flaunt it; under normal circumstances, she's calm, collected, introspective, and very wise. She would rather not become involved in conflict if it can be avoided, unless the cost is too high for her or her people. She rules like a matron rather than a dictator, and her people fear her but not to the point that the fear is what keeps them loyal.
Origin/History: Except for those very few who are close to her, no one knows much about her. She comes from somewhere near the Middle East and is several thousand years old; most guess she was in her mid-twenties when she died. Some know that she was married and had children, but nothing more specific is public knowledge.

OK, a few notes... yes, you may play the other sins or the princes of hell, but please contact me first about it. I'd suggest looking at the first two B&M games at least briefly, if you're new. Completely new characters are welcome as well! I'd like to see some characters left on Earth, just for a little variety. I'd be sad if Mel is the only one left behind... T_T

Any questions, PM or IM me!

Time to bring back the old a-hole. Just not so a-hole-ish this time.

Name: Mateo

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Species: Vampire/Stormlord (sounds exciting huh?)

Gifts/powers: Much like his mother, he benefits from the advantages of being a vampire, enhanced strength, the ability to fly, you get the idea. Of course, due to his father's gene's he's also able to counter the disadvantages. He has no blood lust - well not in a vampire sense - and can withstand sunlight as easily as any mortal. He has naturally inherited the ability to create small storms but his main passion and skill lies in dark magicks.

Physical Description: He stands at 5'11" with a muscular build and short dark raven hair. Strangely enough, Mateo has deep red eyes, which is the only part of him that doesn't appear to be inherited from either of his parents. Wears http://www.advancedanime.com/displayimage.php?pid=93622 - top, and http://www.advancedanime.com/displayimage.php?pid=93593 - bottom.

Personality: Once overly rebellious and (to be blunt) a b*stard, his personality took a turn when he saw his 'lust' interest Mel murder his mother. He carries with him the guilt of his mistakes (which ultimately led to the partial destruction of the world. oops) and reflects on them constantly. His own self-reflections have lulled him into a state of dark mysteriousness. He is determined to save his mother and then work on repairing the damage he has done on Earth, which to him means hunting down Lillith and every one of her daughters and destroying them. He has kept his temper though. His anger and desire for revenge is his major driving force and has buried the strong sexual desires of the old Mateo. However, these urges still exist, as strongly as ever and he is aware of them. Secretly, he fears falling under Mel's temptations and is hoping to avoid confronting her completely.

Origin/History: He is the only child of Marduk/Sorcha. Initially, he rejected the expectations of his parents and the immortal world by giving in to mortal indulgences (sex, drugs, alcohol). This brought him into contact with Mel who easily seduced him and managed to get into the house (but was banished soon after by Zarah). He began studying the dark arts in secret and was discovered, this led to his discovery that he carried the essence of the demon Garth within him. As a result, he turned against his mother and set out on his own. He was approached by Mephistophocles whose interference reunited him with Mel and, in turn, brought Vean. He attempted to use the three of them to strengthen his own gifts but ended up in a battle with his mother, which ultimately led to her own sacrifice. Out of guilt, he has set out into Hell to save his mother and then intends to repair the damage he has caused to world.
His soul was constructed by God using the 'pure' half of Garth's soul and the soul of the Mateo whom Sorcha had loved in the past. He was intended to be entirely pure - a reward for Sorcha and an apology for her sufferings - but the presence of the demon's essence tainted him, exaggerating his flaws. He is also experiencing 'changes' with his self brought on by the bite given to him by Melanthe (so what DOES happen when a half-vampire is bitten?)

Other: he owns a car and a motorbike - and he takes good care of them both.

Approved! Yay Mateo! =D

[Samchu]

Realised that I forgot my second sign-up (as in completely forgot he existed), so I'm putting him here because I'm too lazy to edit the last post.

Name: Malachi

Age: 4000

Gender: Male

Species: Angel

Gifts/powers: Immortality, the ability to fly and the ability to freeze time (for a few moments) but seeing as he did that last one recently it won't be happening again in this rpg.

Physical Description: Malachi is 6'3 and has the build of a warrior. He has straight silver hair that reaches down past his shoulder blades and a hardness is his face. He has a hooked nose and green eyes. Yet, he has an angel's ethereal beauty. Wears a white robe. Has wings. Always walks barefoot.

Personality: Very dark and mysterious, Malachi is excellent at never revealing his true intentions until they are completely irrelevant to the situation. He seems to be surrounded by a hint of suspicion, making it impossible to tell if he’s doing something because he has been told to or because it will benefit him in some way. He always seems to possess a greater knowing of events but tends not to interfere unless it is under orders or if the balance between good/evil needs restoring.

Origin/History: A previous guardian of Eden and now a servant / messenger for the Lord. His role in history is unknown save to a few of the older beings who would have dealt with him in the past. He has had dealings in the past with Sorcha, though their meetings were strictly the result of the Lord's business, and he seems to have an interest in her. Though what exactly this interest is no one knows. He has history with Zarah and there is possibly unfinished business between them. Possibly...
He has followed the group into Hell. Though whether it is to rescue Sorcha, to guide Mateo, or to finish his business with Zarah is unsure.

Other: He's secretly bummed about missing out on the last war (business elsewhere, you know) and intends to be involved in this one.

Approved, once again!
