Angels and Demons are real.
Fairies really do fly, causing mischief, the garden gnome in your neighbor's front yard may not actually be made of plaster. Bigfoot likes to sleep under trees, and Nessie is waiting for someone to come and "Free Willy." Sprites, Spirits, and all those other myths and legends were true. We just forgot about them. The day we were reminded marked the fall. When the gate to the depths opened up and the demons came, humanity was quickly, and cruelly reminded of the fact that they shared this world. It was taken away from them. Maybe we don't deserve to reclaim it. But we've seen our mistakes, and I for one want to make amends.

Some of you may remember Horizon Demon Hunter Academy. It is a story of my own creation which I particularly enjoy. And that is why I keep reviving it. That said, this time I am doing this different. Every time I have created Horizon, I was always making a Large Group Role Play. This is not easy to keep a story consistent. Thus, I am Re-doing this, accepting only a set amount of characters.
In the year 2021, the Earth was on the brink of war. Russia and United States had gone to war after the assassination of the newly elected president. There was no real evidence that Russia was the behind this unforeseen event. However, the people wanted retribution. After threats against the US, Russia was the top suspect. Soon both began preparing for war. All other countries begged and pleaded them not to, yet they did not stop. War broke out and neither side was going anywhere. During this time of turmoil, the US Secretary of Defenses managed to obtain popularity among citizens, and soon seized control, establishing Marshal Law. However, he was truly a wicked man. He had no remorse. He launched several nuclear missiles on Russia. Russia fell in a matter of weeks... The other nations were outraged by this use of WMDs. They declared war on the US. Thus World War III had begun. The war had only raged for two years, before the unexpected happened. Hveravellir, a volcano in Iceland that had been lying dormant for centuries, erupted violently. The area surrounding it was covered in lava. Arising from the lava, and descending from the ash, an obsidian, and brimstone door took form. Though it was black, one could see hints of red in its glassy frame. It opened, and as if the floodgates had been released, demons spewed forth.
High above the Earth, a group of elite Angels, The Divine Counsel quickly met, and began debating the correct course of actions. By the time they had finished deciding, much of humanity had been decimated. They built Horizon, a floating city just below the Heavens, as a safe place for Humans. However, the Earth had fallen under control of the Demon Lord. Chaos and Anarchy reigned It is now the year 2163, and little ground has been gained.
What to Expect
Looking for a small committed group
This never really seems to go very far, so this time I'm taking a different approach. It will focus more on plot. Character development and relations will still be important. This will not be a "sandbox" RP. What I am looking for is an adventure with 3-4 other Characters as they grow and develop. Due to the smaller amount of characters it will be easier to make accommodations for special characters. That said, it'd still need to make sense. I have a plot ready, that is capable of being modified as needed, and would love to include "Character Arcs" so I would enjoy it if we worked things out as a party(and sometimes with just me) in order to make an enriching and enjoyable story. I want this to be a collaborative storytelling event. So if you have ideas as well, please feel free to share them with the group
A little on Humans:
It is currently the third generation of humans since they were evacuated. Many of those in the Academy have never known earth as home, unless they grew up in a safe zone. Humans stand very little chance against a fight with demons or even angels. To compensate, they have began to forge "Pacts" with daemons. This grants them more power, and the daemon will fight beside them.
A little on Angels:
It is not known if Angels were really made by a god. However, one thing is certain, and that is they are not much different than Humans. They actually appear as an evolved race of humans who sprouted wings and gained supernatural abilities. They grow up, reproduce, learn, talk, laugh, just as humans do. While there society is a little more strict in terms of culture and morals, it doesn't differ greatly from some other human ideologies. There are a select few taboos however which must never be broken for fear of Falling however. To fall will result in being shunned, but no one really knows if it has any effect on the angel themselves, but rumors are abundant.
Angels and Humans can indeed fall in love, have children together, yada yada, yada. However there are no Half Angels. Anglicism is treated similar to a recessive trait passed down from the parents. That means that it is possible for two Humans to have an Angel child, if they both have one of the "recessive" genes. Angels are holy beings. Whether or not they are truly created by a "God" is unknown to humans, and even many Angels. Those that do know are forbidden to tell. Being holy beings they are forbidden to forge backs with Daemons.
A Little on Daemons
The name deriving from the original Greek word meaning "A supernatural being between Human and Divine" daemons encompass more than just tiny devils with pitchforks. Daemons refers to all, be it fey, spirits, fiend, or even just the extraordinary. There are good and bad on either side, though Pacts can be formed with any. The term Demon really refers to a Daemon acts out of malicious intent. They are the prime enemy of this war. However occasionally a Daemons are still a danger to humanity due to the power they can possess, and are mostly forced to leave safe zones. With violence if necessary

Places in the World

Earth is the home of the Humans. Well now only some parts are home to the Humans. These parts are considered safe zones, however demons infiltrating and attacking these safe zones, though rare, are not unheard of. Some have started to move back to these safe zones. The Safe Zones are as follows:
-
The largest residing South American Continent, yet has the lowest population based on size. It is on the edge of the Amazon forest in Brazil. Kinich is a very large area making it difficult to protect. The majority of the population here are the military force on earth composed of graduated students of Horizon Academy. It is the Base of Operations on Earth. The majority of the space is used for military training and facilities.
100,558 square miles(260,444 square km)
-Current Population: 306,007
-
The Safe Zone of Loxdon is found in the Appalachian Mountain range, and parts of Virginia and North Carolina. It is the provider of the majority of minerals used by the Human forces. This safe zone has the least protection and is the most likely to be attacked and overrun. Quite a few requests originate from this zone.
50,346 square miles(130,395 square km)
-Current Population: 219,453
-
Remus is located in the bogs of Ireland. There are many demons hidden in the marshlands of the island, making Remus one of the more dangerous Zones
30,265 square miles(78,387 square km)
-Current Population: 121,434
-
The majority of Umezawa is in the Coastal Regions of Japan. This is has made Umezawa a trade port for the Safe Zones. Umezawa provides a fair amount of seafood. In spite of the evacuation of people from earth, Umezawa still holds the culture it did in the days before the demons attacked
13,639 square miles(43,094 square km)
-Current Population: 95,076

(inside of Fort Bismarck)
Located in what was once Germany, Fort Bismarck is the smallest safe zone, but it is in fact the safest. After the area was established, construction quickly began. The safe zone was the first established. It took ten years, and much protection, but eventually they had built a massive fort. It was only a single story at first. Since then it has grown to a five story behemoth that takes up a land mass the size of Wales. It is the center of engineering and technology. However the technology is very functional, and looks primitive even though it is rather advanced,

Horizon is a massive floating city, created by the Angels as a safe haven for the humans. It floats just below the Heavens. Here many humans have made this place their home, however there are plenty of others who wish to see Earth inhabited by humans once more. This was why Horizon Academy was founded.
-
The realm of Angels. This is a holy place. As such, living Humans are not allowed to enter. There are some exceptions though. Every so often a Human will be summoned to the Heavens. When this happens, they are most likely meeting with the Divine Counsel, the group ruling the Heavens. However, since the arrival of the daemons, only five humans have met before the Counsel. One of these people has been Lukas.
-
A mysterious realm that none have ever seen the inside of. The only known entrance is a massive, ominous door that has appeared in the volcanic regions of Iceland. There is no other information on this realm. It is assumed to be the realm of the Demons
