Plot
In a world ruled by the might of technology, the occult arts have long been lost and forgotten. Deep in the recesses of the centuries, almost forcefully erased from history, monsters of legend existed alongside magic. They were one and the same. Werewolves and vampires terrorized all of humanity. Mankind was on the verge of extinction. Many humans wielded magic against the legions, intent on becoming the beacon of hope.
They failed. As entire nations and populaces began to wither and fall before the might of the hellish creatures, every man and woman felt despair. Desperation driving their actions, any and all mages were sent to the front line's of the battlefield, regardless of age. They fell, one after another as they were driven back by the numerically superior monsters.
The last of the mages died on the field of battle, doing nothing but buying time for the rest of mankind. Yet their sacrifice was not in vain. As the last breath of life was exhaled from the final mage, the demons and vampires and werewolves disappeared.
No one knows why.
The monsters underneath our beds ceased to exist as magic fell out of use. It has been many, many centuries since that happened. The horrors have disappeared from the millenniums, as well as the minds of mankind.
Thus, humanity continued their progress. Buildings of steel and glass touched the sky. Planes flew people from one continent to another. Life expectancy reached heights never before conceived. Space travel was in its infancy. It was the Golden Age, one that stretched for centuries.
But the forces of darkness would not be kept at bay.
The world exploded into violence as the monsters, once considered fantasy, ran through the streets, killing wherever they went. Modern arms barely had an effect on them. Vampires simply continued on as shrapnel and bullets tore through their bodies. Werewolves were too fast to aim. The military might of the world was crushed.
Helpless civilians began to barricade themselves within their once glorious cities, living like rats in their own backyards. The legions of monsters gleefully allowed them to live. Any human that was captured outside the fortifications became a meal for the werewolves, or livestock for the vampires. Other horrific fiends, two stories long, roamed outside, crushing the steel walls as they saw fit, as if to show how insignificant mankind was.
The world was once again driven to despair. But this time, they had no one to fight the fiends. They could only cower in the shattered husks of their cities.
It was at this time that magic once again returned to the hands of a select few. However, mankind was not as foolish as before, and they poured research into these individuals, trying to figure out how to exploit this power into a real fighting force.
Thus, Demon Summoning was born. Negotiating with beings from another world mankind, yet again, found another way. If a human was strong enough mentally, demons allowed themselves to be contracted to them. These powerful beings lent their aid. For some, being able to leave their realm was enough reason to contract. But for the truly powerful, a sacrifice or promise had to be made.
But once again, this power did not come without sacrifice. The Demons were absolutely fascinated with the power of the mages, and requested them as a commodity in their negotiations. Once again, the last of the mages died. The only difference was, they did so by choice. They offered themselves up, wishing only for mankind to take back their world and thrive.
Setting
Shit is fucked, yo. This takes place in the shattered husk of New York about 20 years after the invasion of the occult. So yes, your characters can be survivors and such. Don't worry about getting anything correct, because I haven't been there either. I'll just read a map if that's okay with ya'll. Anyway, the government now houses schools designed to test an individual and see if they are capable of summoning. You are one of the many new recruits. The government and military are determined to expand their safe zone. That's means taking the fight to the monsters. You won't just run into werewolves and vampires. You'll run into ghouls, freakish spiders, and other things. If you want to be a veteran, talk to me.
Think of it as a military academy type deal. There won't be any classes anime style, per se. It'll more operate as our base.
Things to know about demons-
1.They don't materialize outside the minds of their summoners. The only time they can really talk with others is in battle, and the Weapon types rarely talk.
2. Even if the demons acquiesced to an agreement with humans, that doesn't mean the majority of them will be happy being contracted. The strongest demons are usually contracted against their will or are promised something.
3. They aren't your friends. Don't believe them. The ultimate goal of a demon is to possess the body of the summoner. They like our realm so much they'd do something like that.
4. Summoner types have the highest percentage of getting possessed, as well as being the strongest. That's not to say that only the most powerful demons prefer to be summoned in this way, just the majority.
Demon Summon types.
