Hell is Burning.
Lucifer is dead. The Dragon has been slain, Old Nick has been laid in his coffin. And Hell is in chaos. The eternal pit of fire, a place of pure emotion, unrestricted except for the stern leadership of the Fallen Prince, has devolved into what it once was. And now the Apocalypse, the Revelation has reached Earth. The contents of The Seals, a prophecy foreseen by John of Patmos rather than physical seals, foretold of the death of Lucifer and the consequences of the event [The Four Horsemen, a metaphor for the great damage caused by the death of such an evil being, and the following seals leading up to the first confrontation between the Seven Archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Azrael, Uriel, Metatron, Ananiel) and the Seven Princes of Hell, a disastrous event that lead to Mt. Olympus being leveled and the oil fields of the Middle East being set aflame in the shape of a pentagram], have come to pass. The Princes argue and squabble over bits and pieces of land on Earth and the captured souls of the remaining mortals and the Heavenly Host while simultaneously fighting for control of the Black Throne of Hell.
"And now we, the Princes of Hell, shall walk the Earth. We shall slaughter the children of Adam. We shall lay waste to Paradise. We shall claim that which belongs to the powerful, and only the powerful. We shall avenge our King, our one true Lord Supreme, who has fallen for the last time. This Oath, this Final Judgment, we will uphold. The Archangels shall fall to their knees, and God shall bleed. This we swear."
--- The Oath of Vengeance
PLOT:
Five years following the assassination of Lucifer at the hands of an unknown party, the Princes of Hell have scorched the world of man. Groups of human survivors (mostly small packs, some large and well-defended) struggle to survive in this newer, darker world. The Heavenly Host has mostly retreated to the Pearly Gates, sending forth small armies to fight with the hordes of Hell over large deposits of souls, but have had a losing streak recently. In this arc, we play as the Princes of Hell, of which there are Seven. We have divided the world into territories, and cooperate very loosely, the only thing holding us together being the death of Lucifer, who had previously held us together with an iron fist. While on the surface we fight for revenge and conquest, we play a game of succession under the surface to claim the Black Throne of Hell.
CS:
Name: (I recommend choosing a biblical name, as I know personally it is hard to make a really good menacing demon name)
Personality:
Appearance:
Special powers: (We all get umbrakinesis, transcendant strength, speed, durability, and stamina, demonic control, energy manipulation, shapeshifting, telekinesis, teleportation, and possession of multiple living beings at once. Add something new.)
Biography: (We all started out as incredibly powerful angels, and joined Lucifer in his fall. What have you done since then?)
Remember. We're not humans or superhumans here. We are DEMON LORDS. We are all MEANT to be OP. Don't be afraid of using some badass powers, because we'll all be doing the same.

RULES:
- Writing Skill: I'm sick of being subliminal. WRITE WELL. Remember your punctuation, paragraphs (at least 1 per post), grammar, etc. I also want some meat on those Character Sheets. It grinds on a lot of other people (namely me) when we have to read poorly written stuff on something I want to look and turn out good. This might seem bossy and jerkish, but how would you feel if I did this on one of your RPs?
- Posting Speed: I'll be a little lenient here. One post per week, more if you care to. But don't start doing massive chain posts and exclude everyone else.
- Rule-Breaking: In any cases of breaking the rules, both parties (or one if only one person is involved, either perpetrator or victim) must appeal to me directly. No comment fights. But here's a list: A) Writing Skill. This is an absolute no-no. If you know that you can't write well [and I'm not talking content wise. We have different capabilties when it comes to writing a story. Some just aren't too good, while others are Literature Gods (most of the admins)], don't bother applying. It would just end badly. B) Posting Speed: Prolonged absence will result in a PM warning. Failure to reply and explain absence will result in banjection. You will receive the PM 24 hours after absence is noted (one week of no posts), and will have 48 hours to respond. If you are likely to be gone for a long period of time, PM me and leave yourself in a position in the RP that would explain an absence. You'll be free to rejoin upon your return.
