Blood and Feathers

[Skittle_Overlord]

(coming soon, after new year)

[Skittle_Overlord]

Once upon a time, there lived the humans, and the angels that helped them. Angels were more of a story or myth to the humans, for although they aided them on an almost daily basis, no human ever saw one. The angels were a slightly more advanced and civilized race, but they were peaceful and kind. They were especially kind to the humans, thinking that the race had much to offer despite their silly inability to fly.

And so everything was as it was meant to be

For a time at least

Once upon a day, there was a man, a good and hardworking man, with morals. He was walking along a garden path, on his way to town, when he spotted a bush of roses. They were average roses, all of them red, except for one. Towards the bottom he picked a flower that was very odd indeed, this flower was blue. It looked like a rose, but that was impossible, how could it be a rose? Roses weren’t blue, yellow or white maybe, but never blue. The man kept this rose and went into town, going about his business and eventually returning home to his wife.

The next morning he found the rose missing, he franticly searched for it, suddenly feeling the absolute need to hold it. His wife came in the bedroom; the rose was in her hair. She smiled at him and wished him a good morning. The man snarled and ripped the flower from her hair, not caring about the woman who dared take his rose. The man had become entrapped in its power, and the rose was by all means powerful. He wanted no one to be able to take the pretty rose from him. The rose granted him the power he wished to posses, but it had a price. The rose always has a price….

The man now self proclaimed as Lord, had power that humans had never seen the likes of before, he could lift a horse with his finger and cross a room in less time than it takes one to blink. Even his looks and senses changed, he was all but beautiful to everyone’s eye, and he could hear and see farther than anyone. The price he paid was not one he regretted in the least, he needed blood to sustain himself, and he took it without mercy, making others just like him as he took every drop they had. The rose was capable of far more than change, it was also able to destroy, and he used that ability to concur land. The Angel King, Samuel, would not interfere; it was not in the angel’s nature to be violent or to interfere in human affairs.

His inaction cost him greatly. Eventually the human race was gone, and replacing it was a race that called themselves demons. These demons eventually stumbled on angel territory, and attacked, wanting the lush land and gardens of the angels. King Samuel gathered his forces to fight, even if Angel’s were not a violent bunch, they still practiced combat for exercise and contest purposes. When rallied, they made quite the force to be reckoned with, but so were the demons. Both sides lost many, the ground was muddy with blood, blood that the demons now fed on.

King Samuel devised a plan, he sent his four sons to get the blue rose, seeing as how the rose was the main source of the demon’s power. Only two sons made it back, the youngest and eldest. Their mission was a success, and the Vampire Lord called for a treaty.

The treaty is to be sealed with the marriage of the children of both Lord Lucian and King Samuel. But Lord Lucian may not be willing to give up, his trickery knows no bounds. King Samuel and his angels may be willing to accept the demons, but the ones being forced to marry the demon royals aren't. On top of that, a sect of angry angel soldiers have gathered and formed a terrorist group.

All hell just may break loose.

Casualties of War-
1.5 Million angels- deceased

1.3 Million vampires-deceased

Princes Yarrow and Carro-deceased-angels
2 of the angel brothers died on the mission to take back the blue rose.
Yarrow was the oldest of the two twins, but by no means the leader of the two. He always stuck to Carro and made sure that he didn't get them both into trouble, seeing as how Carro seemed absolutely determined to outdo anyone in mischeif. Yarrow was sensible and cool headed, where as Carro was impulsive and hotheaded. Yarrow preffered reading and intellect, Carro preffered playing and swordsmanship. No matter the differences between the two, they always stuck together through thick and thin, these two were quite the comedic and deadly duo. Thier powers were interconnected, as twin's powers often are. Yarrow had the ability of speed akin to that of a demon's speed, and Carro had the strength akin to that of a demon's strength. When they were in a proximity of ten feet to eachother, thier powers were combined, so each had both speed and strength, but, since they shared strength, they also shared weakness. If one was hurt in battle, so was the other, it was involuntary, and the main reason that they both died. These two princes will forevermore be remembered in the hearts of thier family and people.

Prince Grogan-deceased-demon
Here was a man's man, Grogan loved battle, and was born for it. The woman that gave birth to him was a rich aristocratic woman by the name of Hera, she spoiled him silly and made sure he grew up to be strong. He spent his younger days teasing his little sisters and messing around. Not much in the way of intellect, he never achieved much of a rank in officership, preffering to take small fractions of soldiers and causing havoc. His tactics were guerilla style, and his mission simple, kill the enimy. Grogan was loyal and a good comrad, but feared when in battle. He was having a meeting with his father when the battle at the castle broke out, he killed many angels, but was in turn slain by a surprising opponent. There is doubt that his father has even noticed that Grogan is gone, to preoccupied with the loss of his Blue Rose.

Prince Dmitri-deaceased-demon
Dmitri was the eldest of Lucian's sons, and possibly the proudest. Dmitri had an unusually high intelligence, and a knack for the sword, he grew up to be a General in his father's army. His leadership caused many angel deaths, and his arrogance caused his own. Dmitri was assasinated by an elaborate plan set by the angel group known as the 'The Birds of Prey'. His father really felt the loss of his best General.

Princess Bellamina-deceased-demon
Bellamina was a daddy's girl and was always trying to please him in any way, he doted on her like he doted on his other daughters. She never got along with her two sisters, wanting to be the only daughter in her father's eye. When the war started she was not to fight, and so turned her attentions to dancing and flirting instead. It gave her pleasure, her figure gave her quite a pack of admirers, so she was never short of anyone to torture. Her other interests included poisons, she was quite knowledgable about them, and was always trying them out on her tutors and nannies if they ever made her upset. Bella was killed by a band of elite, now rogue angels, they call themselves 'The Birds of Prey', she was their target, to send a message to Lucian, he grew furious and ordered them to be hunted down, but never suceeded in catching any of them.

Angel Race-
Angels have a few tricks up their sleeves, they are endowed with a gift. This gift is a power, your character (providing you have an angel character)may have 1 powerful gift, and 1 smaller gift. I assume you are responsible enough to judge the capacity of this gift and I aslo assume you won't godmode with it.
Ex; The power to manipulate shattering sound waves, and the power to calm someone by singing.
Something cheesy like that is just a suggestion, it can be anything you like. I love cheesy though.....Anywho, I'll tell you when you submit your character whether or not your powers are acceptable.
Their wings can come in many colors, sometimes multicolor, and they can fly at amazing speeds. Their wings are powerful, but their enimies, demons, often attacked their wings. It is both a blessing, and a week point, it makes them a bigger target.
The culture of the angel race revolves around bright an pastel colors, extensive art and architecture. Dresses are often flowy and and comfortable. Girls love beads, diomonds/jems, silk, and decorations on their wings. The males usually wear something akin to this, india's style sort of, get creative. They are a polite, friendly and loosly formal race.

Demon Race
They are strong enough to lift a horse with mild trouble, and fast enough to cross the room in a blink of an eye. Demons often take full advantage of their speed, never bothering to walk much. Their reflexes tend to be very sharp.
Only Lord Lucian can see and hear for a mile around, but the rest don't really need that when they can smell from 4 miles away. They need to feed on blood once every two days (2 pints, and yes, they have a hard time resisting blood, they can, but it is slightly unpleasant), every four days at the very least. King Samuel has arranged for blood packets for the guests. The blood is taken from various animals. The demons are allowed to drink blood from their significant other after the marriage. It is demon tradition for partners to drink from one another to sustain themselves, to not do so would have signified disrespect for the partner. Although demons usually only marry for a couple of years and then move on, the demon siblings being married to the angel siblings will have to remain married and faithful to their angel spouse for the remainder of their lives. As for durability, they have flesh that is cuttable by sharp things (Normal durability). They have canines that are slightly sharper and longer than you would see on an angel, specifically to easily drink fresh blood from a vein.
Their culture is more about cut-throat politics. They enjoy giving formal balls, and are more formal than angels, they tend to be considerably less kind. Young demons tend to be premiscuous and flirty, for Lord Lucian, promiscuous would be an understatement. All of his children have different mothers...
Their architecture is a more of a gothic chic style. They enjoy deeper, more passionate and dark colors than the angels, and female dresses can range from gothic lolita to victorian, they love ribbons and lace. Males often wear something akin to this, leather, cloaks, keep it simple but regal.

Oh, and when they party, they PARTY.

[Bird of Hermes]

Sounds interesting. May I go with Demon Prince 1?

[Tykrieg]

Angel Prince 2 for me, please.

[Skittle_Overlord]

[Ok, I guess since I will be gone, you guys can work on your Profile (I did a little). I'll be back after new years so we can start this thing, please do not call a character and then not show up once I start the rp, thank you]

Name--Princess Rose, second Eldest daughter of Lord Lucian
Appearance- Lady Rose
[please also include a description, include things like height, eye color, hair color, body type etc.]
Bio- -

Personality- -

Power-- [leave this blank if you are a Demon]

Weapons-- being a female, she has nothing but her mind to defend herself at the moment. [keep in mind that women were not allowed to fight, oh and they didn't just have swords, get creative]

[Mitth]

Name -- Princess Amitiel (called "Ami" by familiars), King Samuel's youngest daughter
Appearance -- Amitiel

Spoiler:

Layered, gold locks frame her gentle face, falling a little past her shoulders. Although the ends are usually gathered in a loose ponytail, there are occasions in which she'll let it down or have it braided. Her unusually blue eyes, like bottomless pools of water, seem to capture a clear winter's sky perfectly, able to effect the chilly wind or tender warmth. Silvery wings, that gleam iridescently in the light, adorn her back. Although she's rather petite in size, and not the tallest, it neither hinders her energy nor spirit.

Bio -- When the war began, Amitiel could not stand being locked up in some castle as her brethren died for them. She pleaded and bargained with her father, but he was adamant against letting her do battle. It wasn't until she refused to eat, play, perform, or partake in any activities--more out of sorrow than defiance--that her father finally gave in, unable to witness his youngest waste away. He allowed her on the field, but only in the farthest back, and as a medic. No physical combat, only a supporting role, and instructed to flee at the slightest hint of danger--but Amitiel was enthused all the same. She never sighted any demons, and this will be her first encounter, but she certainly has seen what malevolence they're capable of.

Personality -- Often shy, Amitiel may seem quiet or timid at first; however, she is quite friendly to familiars and cordial towards friends. She's can be a bit naive (or just too innocent), but her observation skills are keen, her intellect sound, and she's always eager to learn or be helpful. Although obedience, modesty, and gentleness have been drilled into her since birth, and she certainly can act as a lady, her mischief, enthusiasm, and eccentricity will certainly manifest itself in various ways. She's rather malleable, that is, can be taught or conditioned, and can be quite devoted and doting once her adoration is gained. One may think of her as a little bird, joyous in song, composed on perch, and cheerful when flitting about. What's that saying? Let a bird go, and if it comes back, it's yours? But if it doesn't, 'twas never yours to begin with....

Power -- the ability to heal others (at a cost), with its secondary effect being spreading cheer to those nearby. In other words, she has a naturally bright demeanor, an aura of assurance, that unsuspecting others may find themselves basking in.

Weapons -- her decorative fans, normally used for graceful dancing. Although, her wings do a good enough job creating wind, and anything with mass that gains velocity can damage. She has also dabbled in a bit of fencing.

((Mm, let me know if I ought to change anything, or if her power is...lame. I might change the image if everyone else goes for anime-style pictures. Not sure if you wanted likes/dislikes in the personality section. In any case, this is subject to change, until the rp starts. ))

[Bird of Hermes]

Name: Prince Jude Lucian, eldest son of Lord Lucian
Appearance:

Description: Jude is 6'4", in his late thirties, and is ghastly thin. His skin is almost white and his eyes are a cool yellow in the day time and a vibrant red at night. His hair is black like crow's feathers and is think, long and untamed. A scar runs from the left side of this face across his nose and to the right side.
Bio: Jude was a high-ranking general in the war and he has never let that leave his mind. His mate, a female demon named Persephone, was killed by an angel commander in battle and he has never forgotten it. As the eldest son of Lord Lucian, Prince Jude is the first to be matched with an angel princess. But, the Prince is still bitter after his loss. Can he ever accepted another in Persephone's place?
Personality: Jude is cold, arrogant and bitter. There is a place deep within his heart that refuses to forgive. Yet, deep inside he's just lost and scared, though he will go to any lengths to hide that fact. All he wants is his lover back, but even angels can't bring back the dead. He blames his father for Persephone's death. Jude sits at the right hand of his father wishing he could take back time.
Weapons: Scythe
