The souls of the fallen (ooc) [revamp]; Of angels and demons
A Roleplay By Urth:
I want you all to know, that though this is a revamp, no former knowledge is required.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The earth quakes, and is torn asunder by the infernal Dodongo marching out from the depths of hell. The demons pour forth, slaughtering all who stand in their path, combing through the city in a genocidal rampage. Civilians scream and flee in terror as the military fires upon the demons, seemingly having no effect. It seems as if the human race itself is doomed to die on this day.
But lo' and behold! the clouds open, holy light shining down from above. The humans eyes lift to the heavens, as the angels descend from above. Surely they're a boon from god himself, sent to aid them in their our of need. That assumption could not have been further from the truth.
The angels weren't there to save the humans, they were here to fight the demons. As far as they were concerned, the collateral damage ( A.K.A the human race) was a sacrifice worth making to keep the world from ending. The demons wanted control, and fought tooth and nail to gain it, while the angels fought to preserve their own power. Little did either group know that the prophecy of Armageddon wasn't meant as a battle between heaven and hell for control of the world. It was a prophecy of a battle between the angels and demons that would DESTROY the world.
Humanity as a whole was oblivious to the inevitable outcome of the war, but there were some who knew. Those few who knew how to fight back against angels called themselves the Order of Lucifer, and used weapons called devil arms, weapons with the soul of a demon sealed inside of them, to combat the angels. Whereas those who fought the demons called themselves the Order of Metatron, and employed weapons called Angel arms, weapons with the soul of an angel sealed within.
These two orders originally fought as two separate entities, until one day the two orders were caught between an army of demons and angels, just before a large scale battle. In order to increase their chances of survival, an alliance was made between them. Many member of both sides were killed in the fight, but miraculously the orders won out. Not long after, it was decided that their alliance would become a permanent treaty, and Thus they became 'The Order'
Not longer after they had made their presence known, the armies of heaven and hell began sending out legendary angels and demons. These beings were more powerful beyond anything they had ever seen. It was then that the decision was made that the order's vaults were to be opened. Inside these vaults were ten devil and ten angel arms. These arms held the souls of very powerful and infamous beings gained through willing sacrifice centuries ago.
The arms were seen as dangerous because not only did they bestow untold power upon their wielder, the integration rate achievable with these weapons were such that the user would eventually turn into a demon or angel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Humans will use weapons called Devil arms or Angel arms. Each devil or angel arm will be imbued with the soul of a devil or angel within them. The name of the weapons will be the same as the name of the soul inside of it.
If you haven't realized it, the order or Metatron will use angel arms and the order of Lucifer will use Devil arms.

These are only the names of the arms, the form, abilities, and elements can be decided by each person.
The basic personality should fit with the name of the angel/demon, they will be a secondary character for you to use. Think of them as an imaginary friend, who's trying to keep you alive. They will give any help they can, though some arms will only provide hints in order to make you learn for yourself. This of course depends on their personality. Each devil or angel represents a certain concept, their personality should reflect that in some fashion, each domain is shwon in brackets next to the name. Please note that as your integration rate rises, the more your arm's main trait starts to influence your thought.
Accepted elements, anything else must be ok'd through me, i'd rather only have 1 element per set of angel or devil arms.. thus there can be both a devil arm of darkness and an angel arm of darkness, but not 2 devil arms of darkness.
Fire
Water (no ice)
Earth (Minerals only)
Wind
Ice
Plant
Lightning
Metal
Sound
Light
Shadow
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abilities gained by integration rate.
First skill: Soul trigger
When the weapon has been used by the person for a certain amount of time, the integration reaches 25% and at this point soul trigger is possible.While soul trigger is activated, the overall integration level is increased by 25% and an aura that resembles the devil or angel's original form surrounds you. The aura is solid, and able to move independently of your own limbs, but no further than 1 foot from it unless that is part of the devil or angel's abilities. When you activate soul trigger with a natural integration of 76% or higher, your partner's aura becomes able to move up to three feet away, and has the ability to separate from you at a cost of 50% integration. This means if you allow separation and act as two entities, you act as a normal soul trigger at 50% lower, and so does your partner.As your integration increases you take on certain attributes of your devil or angel, such as wings, an arm like the devil bringer, etc. Keep in mind that certain attributes would only be available at higher levels of integration.The integration percentage is also equal to how much of an angel or devil you are, thus at 50% you are a half devil or angel. 100% is tricky however, in the case that you manage to achieve this, at this point, you are an exact duplicate of what your partner looked like when it was alive. Soul trigger becomes devil or angel trigger, and when it's active, your devil or angel takes control of your body, but is unable to do anything that you wouldn't allow them to do. Thus if you don't want to destroy the town and you use devil trigger, he won't go on a rampage.
Second skill: Assault trigger.
This trigger is decidedly different from soul trigger in that it lasts for only a few seconds. Equal to integration divided by 10. This trigger is used mainly for attacking large groups of enemies, and thus is more often is used in larger battles then not. However, the attack form used in the trigger is entirely up to the user when creating the attack. Such as a Sword arm with the metal element might be able to create thousands of blades that float around and attack enemies. Once the attack form has been designated and the attack is created, it cannot be changed. Assault trigger is only available to those with an integration of 50% or higher.
Third and fourth skills: These are usualy passive skills designed to give the player a boost without having to use either of their triggers. The skills are completely up to the player and thus must be discussed with me first.
These skills are recieved at integration 75% and 100%

Assault Trigger
Unlimited blade works, the trial of Gabriel
When activated the area around Ian is taken to a different plane of existence, the unlimited blade works. The radius of the affected area is equal to one yard per percentage of integration, and is increased to 2 yards while in soul trigger. While in the realm thousands of blades appear across the landscape, and are continuously fired towards those taken to the realm. Ian himself actively takes part in that he repeatedly attacks with different blades, moving at speeds almost invisible to the naked eye. Due to the powerful nature of this attack and the devotion to god he possessed, this trigger requires a prayer, and thus needs time to activate.
The Prayer
"Now hear this!
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body and Fire is my blood
I have created many blades
Unknown to death, nor known to life
I tear mountains from the earth and part waters with my blades
I have gone through great pains to create many weapons for you
And yet these hands that I speak of will never hold anything ever again
So as I pray to you, I pray, give me Unlimited Blade Works!"
Appearance: Ian Masters
Short Bio: Ian's family was murdered during the initial arrival of the demons four years ago. He participated in the battle of the alliance, and had since then lost almost every friend he has ever had. Despite this, he has managed to maintain his cheery disposition, this is aided by the fact that Gabriel has lived countless lives, seen enough death to know how to help Ian deal with it.
Other: Before the arms made their choices, Ian was in command of the order of Metatron. Thus he's one of the few people to recieve a demotion upon recieving their arm.
