It's late Fall 2099, and all but a handful of the prophecies have been fulfilled; the prayers and wishes of countless Christian believers are on the brink of fruition, but not as expected. Issabelle Quentin, a brilliant young scientist has finally accomplished her life’s work, cloning DNA from the Shroud of Turin, bringing forth the second Christ. Little does she know, there will soon be a battle ragging between good and evil for the existence of her creation.
Artimas was the deadliest assassin of his time, but the perfection of his craft was not good enough to win him a place in Heaven. After spending what seemed an eternity in Hell, Artimas was called forth for one last mission… to take out Christ before the rapture begins. He is sent back in the same earthly form as before, but blessed with gifts from the dark Lord.
Artimas meets up with another of Satan’s disciples, Eve, an 18th century woman that was burned at the stake for practicing witchcraft. Eve, along with two others, were sent back months before Artimas to destroy the Shroud of Turin and to kill Issabelle Quentin, but their mission failed, causing the need to resurrect Artimas.
Satan is not the only one who has followers with a mission, God too has angels sent to Earth to make sure that nothing interferes with the completion of Issabelle’s work. Angels and demons have secretly waged wars for centuries, but the present battle is the key to the apocalypse, and it holds the fate of millions in its wings.

Name: Eve
Profession: While alive, a healer and midwife. After death, Satan’s little bitch; sent back to the mortal world countless times to perform little acts of mischief to please the Master and bring those who were damned to Hell to their new home.
Appearance: Usually clad in black leather pants and top, black trench coat and black boots, although has been known to dress in frilly dresses and scandalous night apparel to lure the unsuspecting into a world of sin and pain. Her blonde hair is always worn down and falls just above her hips. Piercing green eyes tend to remain hidden behind dark shades. She is always wearing a thin necklace with a charm on it with the initials “ED” engraved into it. Her tall, thin 5’10” frame as well as her ivory skin is something to be admired but rarely seen.
Talents: Extremely knowledgeable about witchcraft and healing, including herb and stone healing.
Can tell fortunes to willing and believing subjects.
Telepathy… only small objects when mortal.
Special Gifts: Increased vision, strength, knowledge and telepathy, heightened senses and immortality by way of vampirism.
Background: Eve was an 18th century midwife with a loving husband and beautiful daughter, Emma Diane. Most snubbed her and even whispered behind her back about her ways of healing and some called her a witch, but when it came down to it, all came to her when the healing of modern medicine didn’t help. Eve was not ashamed and considered herself a gifted child of God… until her husband and daughter were killed. A bunch of immature teenage boys who liked to tease Eve had set fire to the herb garden that she had planted next to her house. The fire grew out of control and the house burst into flames as well.
Eve had been in the woods collecting various roots and mushrooms for potions and returned to find her home in ashes and her family gone. That was when Eve abandoned her faith and God, cursing him for destroying her family and turned to Satan for comfort and that was just what he did.
While still among the land of the living, Satan would aide Eve in her spells and potions, but now her powers to heal were powers to destroy. First she destroyed those that took her husband and child from her and then proceeded to their families. Soon she was no longer safe within her small community and moved around, killing those at random for such trivial things as looking at her the wrong way or feeling the need to discuss God and what a wonderful place he had waiting for them if she would only believe. By the time that Eve was caught, the death count was unreal and she showed no signs of remorse when judged in her hometown.
Being accused of witchcraft, Eve was sentenced to die by burning at the stake. As she stood there, tied to the large pine log, Eve laughed as the flames licked at the hem of her dress and began to scorch her legs. She began to chant to a Dark Lord, mothers covering their children’s ears and the weak at heart turning from the sight. Eve’s last words cursed the townsfolk for what they had done to her family and vowed to return to destroy them all. For years her death was hush-hush but was still whispered in small circles. It soon became bedtime stories to scare children into being good boys and girls and reminders to saying their prayers.
Archangel
Jul 14 2004, 06:40 AM
Name: Lemuel, translated as "Belonging to God"
Sex: Male
Race: former Archangel, now a vampire
Age: Undetermined, but has been a vampire for over 2000 years.
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 170 lbs
Hair: Long, flowing gold (as Archangel), long, flowing, black, with a stray lock of gold (as vampire)
Skin: Bronzed (Archangel), pale (vampire)
Eyes: Brilliant blue (Archangel) pitch black (vampire).
Other physical traits: Six huge black wings, (were white when he was an Archangel). Wears a pendant with a bloodstained feather, typically wears a long, dark coat and typically black garb. Eyes shine blue when summoning powers.
Known associates: the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Lucifer (also known as Satan). Lillith, demoness and mother of all vampires. Juan Gris, a werewolf. Morrigan/Morgan : a witch. Father Duncan O' Malley, priest/scholar. Ciara O'Malley, his niece.
Known abilites: Mind reading and manipulation, clairvoyance and clairaudience (to some degree), use of Angelic weapons and spells, wings can be used as weapons and shields, vampiric strength and speed, flight.
Miscellaneous characteristics: When properly applied, his half-angelic, half-vampiric blood has the power to heal any injury or illness.
Background: Once a member of what is called the Circle of Seven, the core group or Archangels given dominion by God to enforce His Divine Will across the Universe, Lemuel was a rather unusual figure among the Circle. While the others had particular strengths, Lemuel was known for being the most introspective and the most sensitive of the Archangels. His loyalty and devotion is unquestioned - he's the only one of the Archangels who still refers to Satan by his heavenly name, Lucifer. He is also unselfish and stubborn , which caused Michael, the head of the Circle, no end of grief.
On occasion, Archangels assume corporeal form and descend to Earth to battle evil. An emergency forced Lemuel to Earth still unprepared for mortal existence, and he found himself pitted against a powerful Archfiend, Malefikus. Nearly killed in the battle, he was rescued by a Celtic witch, Morrigan, who nursed him back to health. During his rest, they found solace in each other's company, and they would fall in love.
Ordered by Michael to return, Lemuel told his captain he would rather abandon Heaven and live with Morrigan. Gabriel,however, persuaded Michael to let Lemuel stay for 3 days, after which time he can either stay and become mortal, or return to heaven as an full Archangel again.
Malefikus, smarting at his defeat at the hands of the witch, vowed revenge, but Satan ordered him not to harm Lemuel. Despite that, Malefikus kidnapped Morrigan and dared Lemuel to enter Hell to rescue her. Enraged, Lemuel went into the netherworld without telling the other Archangels, and armed with Morrigan's potions and spells to enhance his Angelic powers and weapons, cut a swath through the demonic horde to rescue Morrigan.
He found her chained to a pillar, however she had already been changed irrevocably into a vampire. In his sorrow and despair, Lemuel was treacherously cut down by Malefikus, but before Lemuel could be destroyed, Satan annhilated his minion, and spared Lemuel.
In tears, Morrigan ran to her beloved, imploring Satan for help in saving her dying love. However, Satan proclaimed that even he couldn't help his old friend, and if he died in Hell, he was doomed to damnation in the Lake of Fire. There was only one way to save his life from Hell, said Satan, and that was for Morrigan to turn him into a vampire.
Faced with this horrible choice, she decided to spare her lover an eternity in hell, and when the deed was done, she screamed and ran from him, shamed at what she was forced to do.
Lemuel soon awoke as a vampire, and realizing what had happened, he took off for the meeting place where Gabriel was to take him back to heaven, but he was unable to venture into the sunlight, and Gabriel returned to Heaven without Lemuel. Michael then ordered no contact between Heaven and Lemuel, as per the Divine Decree on fallen angels.
Since then, Lemuel has lived a lonely existence, searching for his beloved Morrigan, and trying to make peace with himself and what he has become. He has found few friends and even fewer lovers along the way, but mostly he has encountered hostility and anger amongst the fearful and curious humans whom he once served, and the deadly vampires whom he swore to destroy for his fate.
He is vulnerable to those things which harm vampires, such as sunlight and fire, yet he is able to summon certain angelic powers as well. He wears a pendant around his neck, an untainted white feather, stained by a drop of his pure angelic blood. He is able to channel certain mystical abilities with this pendant, including the power to make his blood an elixir of life.
Recently, he has begun to shy away from humanity and the netherworld, mostly as a way of surviving, taking a path of neutrality, avoiding those who would use him for their own purposes. Certain human groups have hunted him down for his mystical blood, Satan has vowed to use Lemuel's unusual gift to restore himself to Heaven, and his former consort Lilith, mother of demons and vampires, has her designs on him as well.

Gabriel ~ Archangel, God's Hand. Gabriel was a friend of Azeon, he was a mentor.
Melanie ~ Human seer. She directs Azeon to the places with the most corruption and evil. His only contact in the human world.
Background
Azeon was once a Messenger of Michael, the Angel of Death. Michael also sat as the head of the Circle of Seven. Azeon was Michael's personal attendant and as such he was afforded great power and respect. Several times he was also allowed attendance to the meetings Michael attended, even between the Circle of Seven. However, it was mostly his job to deliver the vengeful retribution of God's wraith upon mankind for their misdeeds. Azeon did not much love or care for mankind, he rained down fire and judgement on those who openly renounced the name of God. His enthusiasm was for his work, not for slaughtering humans, his love was to satisfy God and Michael.
Around the year 100BC Azeon was ordered to destroy a village which had fallen to worship of a Vampire. Azeon descended from Heaven and came to the people of the village. He delivered upon them God's decree, that they should all perish for worshipping the evil of an Undead as opposed to their creator. While the people trembled before him he could see they were unrepentant for their crimes, save one, a young woman who fell to her knees pleading with him to spare her life.
As she pleaded Azeon drew his flaming sword, preparing for judgement, when the Vampire returned. Memoc was angered at this univited interruption. The people stared as Memoc charged Azeon. Their calls were for Memoc, save one, who was still on her knees.
Memoc was a not powerful, in truth he was barely 100 years old. A greater Vampire may have proven to be a good exercise but this creature was no match for the Glory of Heaven. The battle was brief and the victor stood upon the slain and held high his sword of fire.
There the people stood in awe of the Angel before them. The name, Memoc, dead on their lips as they dropped to their knees seeking absolution. Azeon stepped toward them to deliver God's wraith. He paused and saw the one woman who stood against the demon, he could smell no evil in her, he could see no reason to kill her. He pulled her aside as he held aloft his burning sword. A pillar of flame descended from the heavens and immolated the entire village. Through her tears the woman offered a word of thanks to Azeon which went unheard. The voice of Michael in his mind was all he could hear, a voice telling him to kill the innocent, to shed the blood of one who had done no wrong.
He couldn't do it, looking at her, seeing her trembling form Azeon felt something he had never felt before. Pity. He could not bring himself to kill one who had stood for God even in the face of so many who were against her. No, this could not be God's will. He could not deliver her into the hands of Death. He chose to disobey.
Upon returning to Heaven the council had already convenied. Michael, Uriel, Raphiel and Gabriel stood before him. Pained was the look on Michael's and Gabriel's face. Azeon knew, he knew that judgement was now before him.
Banishment. In ceremonious fashion he was striped of his flaming sword. Michael himself stood behind Azeon as he ripped his majestic wings from his body and the coucil as one spoke, "Such is the will of God, for to defy him is to ally with Evil. Azeon, Messenger and once faithful servant you are hereby banished from the Kingdom of Heaven lest ye prove worthy once more".
With that he was cast down to Earth which is where he has been for so many years. And every night Azeon walks the world in search for atonement, searching for a way to prove worthy of God's sight once more.

Name: Issabelle (variant meaning translates to "pledged to god") Quentin
Profession: Molecular biologist with a concentration in DNA amplification (which is the repeated copying of a piece of DNA.) She has followed in the footsteps of her father's research her entire career but her recent work with the Shroud of Turin has been an astounding break through for the scientific community and possibly the entire world.
Physical Discription: Petite in build, she stands at 5'5" with straight red hair and hazel eyes. Her innate sense of aesthetics is reflected in her monochromatic style of dress and general appearence lacks any flashy adornment.
Other Information: Issabelle's goals for her work seem fairly one-track minded. However, her underlying drive would shock any of her colleagues. Her work has come far from where it started and so has she. No longer does she seek the prestigious acclaim her father once did. No longer does she toil for the greater good of science. No longer does she seek a blessing for humanity.

A little discussion Dravanivin and I had about Azeon and Lemuel -
QUOTE
QUOTE
QUOTE
What's up Pier? :)
I thought I'd drop you a line and tell you about Azeon since he and Lemuel are from the same place and very well may know each other.
Most things are in the OOC thread, I read yours, I'm diggin' it. Angel/Vampire makes for some cool paradoxes and head spinning moral questions. :)
Anyway, I don't know how you want to handle the Azeon Lemuel relationship.
Bacially, in popular Angelic lore Angels were all created on the same day except for Lucifer. We don't have to hold to that convention, I just thought it was that way until Swan said Lemuel was 2000 years old, I think I misread it and thought it was 2000 years since he fell.
Thus far the conventions I'm going with (which can change) are:
Michael: Angel of Death (popular lore says it was either Michael or some other Angel who I can't remember was the Angel of Death).
Gabriel: Badass angel who kind of took top billing after Lucifer was cast down. Michael and he are probably the most powerful/respected for the most part.
Azeon fell 2200 years ago, about a hundred years before the birth of Christ. It adds that "Is Christ really Christ" question in his mind, also, sets up some questions later.
Azeon was not a member of the Circle of Seven but was Michael's attendant and more or less Azeon was the real Angel of Death. If Lemuel was a member at that point then they would know each other, the relationship is ours to create. Hostile, benevolent, etc.
Azeon was close to Michael and vice versa but moreso with Gabriel. Azeon loved Gabriel and had a close brother kind of relationship.
Anyway, that's my dude in a nutshell. Hit me back with whatever details you'd like to see worked out.
Later bro,
Dravanivin
Awesome creation with Azeon as well.
We don't have to make an ornate relationship but we can pretty much establish a "professional" relationship, although Lemuel was closer to Lucifer than he was to Michael.
Michael treated Lemuel like a child a lot of times, and despite Lemuel's good nature he chafed at it, and had it not been for Gabriel and Uriel there would have been a lot more defiance on Lemuel's part. Lucifer on the other hand, was very protective of Lemuel, and he almost convinced Lemuel to join him in his revolt against Heaven.
Although Lemuel refused, he still holds Lucifer in high regard, like his brother. This deference irritates Michael to no end, since he is now the head of the Circle and not Satan. In fact Michael refuses to call him Lucifer - simply Satan - and ordered the other hosts of Heaven to do likewise. Lemuel refuses.
There's even some doubt on Lemuel's part - which Lucifer likes to prod him with - that Michael intentionally left him on earth to suffer his vampire fate, rather than have Gabriel find him and restore him to his original state.
This might make for an interesting conflict, if Azeon was close to Michael and Lemuel resents him.
Gabriel has been mentor to both - so we could also play up that card.
I think it would be better if they hadn't realized that the other had fallen. Certainly if an Archangel like Lemuel was cast down, the other hosts would know of it, but an attendant angel like Azeon might not be noticed by Lemuel. So it's good that Azeon fell before Lemuel did.
Since Lemuel had become human, and then Vampire, he's also prone to human weaknesses and vampiric bloodlust. And yes, I've played up a lot of interesting moral dilemmas in my Lemuel stories, particularly where his relationships with humans was concerned, and his continued attempts to find love and acceptance. I would normally recommend reading my Dark Whispers thread, but it's gotten so huge it's a pain just navigating it, let alone finding a particular story. :lol:
If you don't mind, we should probably post this discussion in the OOC thread - just so the others can read it and give input.
Good playing. -
Pier
Awesome. I like the dynamic you have between Lemuel, Michael and Gabriel. It will make it interesting. :)
I would agree, neither should know of the others falling, Azeon fell first so he wouldn't have clue one about Lemuel and as for Lemuel it could be a number of things. Michael didn't want people to know his right hand man had fallen so it wasn't discussed, claims could be made about him dying in a battle of some sorts, really it could be anything.
Though, my thoughts would be Lemuel knew about it but didn't think about it or care. I would suspect most Angels saw Azeon as mearly an errand boy and not a powerful Angel, others saw him as he stood next to Michael, not on his own. So, Lemuel may have been present (or not) at Azeon's falling or maybe he just heard about it. I would imagine though that someone of his power and importance wouldn't really care about it.
I could see the anger at Michael more or less equating to indifference to his attendant. Same applies in reverse, since Michael didn't seem to think highly of Lemuel then Azeon wouldn't have paid him much attention (not like they saw each other all that often I'm sure).
Things I think that both would know are:
Michael cared for Azeon as did Gabriel
Michael did not care for Lemuel but Gabriel did.
Raphael did not think anything about Azeon.
Uriel did not like Azeon at all. He thought Azeon's attendance at some meetings was a slap in the face and had no issue with saying so to Michael.
Uriel cared for Lumuel.
We can post this conversation in OOC, I don't care, though I'll let you do the posting. :)

Umm sorry for this being delayed..Ive been having..issuses at home that needed to be dealt with than I had a problem with this..ack, hope it works..if not tell me :S
Characters Name: Aiden
Sex: Female
Age: Unknown
Appearance: Has an olvie/pale hue to her skin. Shoulder length black hair that curls at the end; pale blue eyes that often change to a purple hue. Stands at 5'7.Usually seen in normal street clothes like that of a teenager (ie: denim jeans, shirts with obsecne language or humours jokes written across, gloves with the fingers cut off..skater shoes..etc) Also dresses in tight black leather and very revealing clothing.
Has 3 known tattoos. One on the side of her right stomach area which is of a barcode. 2nd on her left wrist which is of a dragon that is engulfed in flames wrapping around the wrist. 3rd tattoo that is known is on her left shoulder which is the chiense element for fire.
Pofession: Assassin and other odd jobs
Talents: Telepathic to an extent but chooses not to use it
Has the gift of Telekinesis also. Uses it when necessary.
Special Gifts: Has yet been given them. (talking about the "Hell" gifts..if she gets em lol)
Her own talent to start fires with her bare hands.
Background: Aiden comes from an oriental background. Her mother was chiense and her father was not..Father died when she was five. She watched him being murder'd by scientist's who chose to use his body as a guiene pig to cure a certain diesase; for this, she does not like doctors and hates scientists with a passion as big as her flame.
Her mother raised her as an only child though she once had two brothers but both died at a very young age.. Her mother was gifted with the powers of the elements. Meaning she could control fire, wind, earth and water.
Each element is passed down through daughters, so when Aiden came of age (20) she learned of her gifts. Through out her childhood she had always wonderd why things would light a flame, or why she could move small objects with her mind and make other ordinary people do things that she had wanted.
She learned to use her gifts through her mother who taught her everything that her own mother had once taught her. She also learned to fight to stay alive without using her powers.
Aiden always secretly dispised her gifts. She wanted to be like all the normal childern around her.
When she was in her early 20's she began to drink and to gamble away all of her fortunes.
She lost miserably and fell into debt with people she could not pay back. To pay off her debts to the lone sharks she went and started killing people they needed to get rid of. When she was sure her debts were paid off; being tired of being pushed around and tired of killing people her anger overcame her and she used her powers against the mob.
She fled the country and found herself in dire need of money to survive. So she went back to killing people for pay and it seems to be working out fine until she was biten by a vampire. And instead of becoming one of the undead, she killed herself. Going to Hell for her many sins, she lucked out and met Lucifer, Satan himself. She laughed in his face when he asked her to join him in tormenting the many souls that found there way to hell. Instead, she asked to be sent back and she would take care of those that didnt die, but deserved to be killed instead. Most of the people she is told to assassin our rich, powerful people such as doctors/scientists, millionares, or people who just pissed off the wrong crowd or did the wrong sin.
But now, she must find this Eve and recieve new orders for her next job..She finds herself watching Mrs. Issabelle Quention who seems to be the next target..But first she must find Eve to tell of what she has found and what she has learned of..

Name: Mathew Anderson
Age: mid thirties
Mathew is a normal human with the exception of the dedication to what he believes is his calling. An incident in his youth caused him to recognize his calling and start his odyssey of the world. One day while writing in his journal he sat watching a small troop of soldiers making routine inspections when a terrorists bomb went off. As Mathew sat perched in his second story window he wrote down the events that took place on the streets below. After that fateful day Mathew knew his true calling and set out into the world, all his possessions in one large duffle bag. He is an undistinguished person with his old worn coat and wide brimmed hat. His clothes are worn from the long roads of travel and his lack of interest in his own fashion. Mathews calling came in his early twenties to travel the world and record everything he experienced and was witness to. Throughout his travels he has been driven to certain parts of the world where he has unexplainably arrived just prior to a historical event. Mathew has recorded religious conflicts, overthrowing of governments, terrorist attacks, and even war. Miraculously Mathew has never been seriously harmed in his travels. He has made a living selling his stories to the media, however that is not his purpose for his records and he always keeps his originals stored in a facility for future study. As of late he has been drawn to a dark section of a city unknown to him. Every morning he wakes up and he has a stronger sense of an impending doom as if the weight of the world were coming down upon him. His last journeys stories have just been finalized and he has sent them to his storage facility. On this particular morning he went to get a new journal and fresh writing utensils in order to record the events he felt were about to unfold.

Pier, if we need to push it back an hour, that's fine... just let us know. Same with anyone else, if there is a problem with the time, speak up and we can change it to where everyone is there. :)

Here is the conversation from last night's meeting. Highlighted are the main ideas that will be in play for the next several posts.
Aaron: so what are we supposed to be discussing anyway
Pier: storyline, developments, and potential interactions....
si1ver_1ips: all of the above
si1ver_1ips: so, are we going to plot out the whole thing ahead of time?
Aaron: I think we just need to get the thing rolling
Aaron: we know where we want to go
Pier: we don't have to
Drav: Agreed.
si1ver_1ips: okay
Drav: We're kind of waiting on Straife to add his bit right? Then for someone else to get to the bar?
Pier: what the heck is Straife doing anyway?
si1ver_1ips: i'm waiting for morning...damn it's been a long night
Aaron: Straife is off for a bit
Drav: I'm waiting for people to leave the bar.
si1ver_1ips: but that's cool too...gives me time to come up with something else
Aaron: Swan says she is waiting for Pier to reply, she wants to go outside so we can all meet up with mercy and Dravan
Pier: alright alright...
Aaron: So, any other issues?
Aaron: oh yeah
Aaron: Pier, which side are you going to be on
si1ver_1ips: the dark side...muwahahaa
Drav: Azeon and Lemuel. Mostly figured out, though what Lemuel knows about Azeon is unknown, at least to me.
Drav: It's a secret.
Aaron: aparently
Pier: what Lemuel knows about his fellow angel is relatively minor at best
si1ver_1ips: touche
Aaron: have you picked a side yet
Pier: heck he doesn't even know there's another one on Earth
Drav: It's not what you know of him now but what you knew of him then.
Pier: Lemuel will side with the humans of course...eventualy.
Aaron: you bastard! I thought we had something special...
Pier: well Azeon is Michael's understudy - that's about the extent of it.
Drav: Rock on then.
Pier: you left me for Swan ya bastige
Aaron: she has softer lips
si1ver_1ips: well, since this is all about what happens before my part...i'm going to take care of my laundry gentlemen...so night
Aaron: night mel
si1ver_1ips: toodles
silver_lips has left the conference.
Drav: Who is the second Christ?
Aaron: fuctone
Aaron: What are you going to do when we come out of the bar, Dan?
Drav: Depends on who comes out of the bar.
Aaron: all of us
Aaron: at once
Drav: I would either let myself be spotted or interrupt your party.
Drav: Either way Artemis isn't going to be the focus.
Aaron: this thread could end real quick
Aaron: who is the focus
Drav: Not really.
Drav: Lemuel.
Drav: Eve.
Drav: Artemis is going to appear like a human to Azeon.
Drav: Lucifer's tricks at work you see.
Aaron: Artimas is the same as Eve
Pier: well Lemuel doesn't know jack really...he knows there's something out there hunting vampires and he could be the next target.
Drav: That or I was just going to have Azeon follow you all.
Aaron: we need to have some kind of confrintation to get things moving
Aaron: get the ball rolling
Aaron: ya know
Aaron: lets have some action
Drav: That's why I was going to appear.
Drav: Otherwise I would just follow and observe.
Aaron: I think you should appear and lets do something
Pier: if you want action Drav, you can always kill off the two vampire women who ran outside.
Aaron: I thought of that, and then we could see you standing over the corpses as we exit
Drav: I can. But I think Lemuel, who will be familiar to Azeon will be much more interesting
Drav: That's a thought. I could write that up.
Pier: or he could be stalking Eve.
Pier: since he knows she's up to no good as usual.
Swan: I think that you killing the two women vamps is a good idea.
Pier: and finding an Archangel walking outside with her...
Pier: who so happens to have become a vampire too
Drav: Eve and Artimas may be the same but Eve failed and as such her cover was blown the first time. This time the one thing that Artimas has is that Lucifer, for the time being, has allowed him to go incognito.
Drav: (that's going back a bit but I wanted to throw that out)
Drav: I like the idea of the two vampire ladies.
Pier: you could appear to be a normal human male to them...and when they descend on you...*slash*
Swan: yeah... I agree about Artimas appearing like a nobody... he could be seen as someone I'm trying to lure into my little seductive trap
Drav: To the vampire women I'll do the bait and switch. I'll come up with something enjoyable.
Swan: Alright... so Dan is going to kill the women and then we walk out on him as he's finishing?
Pier: also the blood exchange with Eve gave Lemuel a glimpse of her plans...
Drav: Works for me. I'll be doing this by the back door, fyi.
Swan: I didn't think about that... but good idea Pier
Swan: I guess we can just leave Straife's character at the bar until he gets back
Pier: hey it's only a little glimpse. He's seen a few things..Isabelle Quentin, the incarnation of Jesus....
Swan: I was planning on us going out the front door Dan, cuz Mercy is sitting across the street at the coffee shop... I guess I could see her and sense that she's the other one that I was waiting for and pass by the alley and see you over the women??? How does that sound?
Pier: and good...as soon as we go outside someone discovers the decapitated corpses?
Swan: Alright Pier... I just didn't want you seeing too much.
Pier: lmao it wasn't too much...just enough to arouse Lemuel's suspicions.
Swan: alrighty...
Drav: Hmm...Kill them in the alley then Azeon is walking up to the front of the building, heading back to his original position when he just walks face to face with the group?
Swan: I like that idea
Drav: The group looks down the alley to see the corpses...but that wouldn't matter. Azeon's reaction to the group would not be positive. Mostly because of Eve.
Drav: Lemuel would get looks too.
Swan: oooo... I get to fight with an angel!
Pier: yeah. Would they recognize each other at once tho?
Swan: he would recognize me, but I don't think I should recognize him
Pier: alright. what about Lemuel?
Swan: I have no clue who he is. Lemuel... sure, you can sense that he's an angel and then let me know, kinda lean over and whisper in code or something?? since we are both vampires and he's not????
Drav: I wouldn't recognize Eve.
Drav: I would just know that she's a vampire and she's evil.
Swan: I could have heard about him, but don't really know him, kinda thing
Drav: I would have pause with Lemuel, after all it's been around 2200 years since I saw him last.
Drav: And he wouldn't look the same, either of them I imagine.
Drav: I would imagine Eve has heard about an Angel who walks the world killing Vampires and other denizens of evil.
Swan: but I thought that earlier you said that I would be known because of my failed attempt?
Pier: I suppose Lemuel might recognize Azeon...
Drav: Lemuel would have a better chance of recognition than the other way around I think;
Pier: ah but that be Lemuel...for centuries he has hunted down vampires himself.
Pier: until recently
Drav: Lucifer didn't bless Eve with the look of Humanity because she failed...why waste the power when someone could recognize her. It wasn't necessarily Azeon.
Swan: alright... sounds good... so Lemuel recognizes Azeon and tells Eve and we go from there. Are we wanting a fight scene? It would be 3 to 1?
Swan: I see!
Swan: *loves being Lucifer's pet*
Pier: Lemuel wouldn't fight another angel.
Swan: alright... so would that be the turning point when you decide what side to be on?
Pier: unless forced to.
Drav: Azeon would only be interested in fighting Eve. He doesn't know Artimas isn't human and he would be very hesitant since he would be able to see and smell both the Angel and the Vampire in Lemuel.
Swan: not necessarily to fight that particular fight, but be forced to choose?
Pier: Not likely, Lemuel would probably be confused.
Drav: So would Azeon.
Swan: Yeah... I get to fight him single handedly? wow!
Pier: looks like it.
Swan: you're going down!
Pier: then again Eve survived several brushes with Lemuel too.
Swan: *puts up fists*
Drav: *Runs away*
Pier: : makes chicken noises
Swan: Yeah... I'm thinking it should be a good battle, but not to death, maybe hurting each other and then get to the point of being caught by police and have to end the fight?
Swan: What are we going to do with Artimas?
Drav: Pier wins.
Drav: So it looks like we've got a good handle on things for a bit.
Swan: Pier, you want to have Lemuel explain to Artimas that it's not his battle this time and step aside?
Drav: The fight should be brief, maybe Lemuel and/or Artimas step in and break it up.
Drav: Azeon would be hesitant anyway since he's simply outnumbered.
Pier: I think Artimas should be the wild card.
Pier: He's supposed to have abilities he doesn't know he has...
Drav: Artimas is the wild card.
Swan: Alright, a fight breaks out between Azeon and Eve, Lemuel moves to the shadows, confused and Artimas is the wild card, able to join the fight or since his cocky little butt wants to see me fail, could step back and watch to see just how powerful I am? Sound good?
Pier: he tries to intercede and Lemuel tells him no...let them settle it
Swan: If Artimas doesn't join the fight, it's broken up by sirens... or even Mercy's character... I forgot about her.
Swan: She could come up and break up the fight.
Drav: I'm down with it. Either way I'm going to break and head for the rooftops.
Pier: how is she going to break the fight?
Swan: I don't know?
Pier: flash Azeon?
Swan: lmfao
Swan: Pier!
Pier: I dunno...lmao
Pier: in any event, Lemuel has found the mysterious attacker.
Swan: alright... a pause in the fight, Mercy walks up, and with Artimas, Mercy, Lemuel and myself basically surrounding Azeon... he decides to flee? Not out of fear, but out of smarts, knowing he's outnumbered.
Drav: That works for me.
Drav: Mysterious exit and such.
Swan: Pier? you okay with it?
Drav: You'll like what I come up with for the death of those two vampire women.
Pier: lmao yeah.
Swan: cool
Drav: Excellent.
Swan: alright... I'm going to post this in the ooc thread... of course, tidy it up a bit, but post it for Straife, Mercy and Opie to read and for future reference.
Pier: good show, Swan.
Pier: so are we done with Phase one then?
Drav: I would say so. It looks like everyone has a direction to move in.
Swan: alrighty...
Drav: Bye guys.
Swan: bye
Pier: goodnight all

Alrighty sounds like a plan to me :)
Thanks Swan again and sorry everyone that I couldnt be there to join in the festivities :(
Anyways..hmm I guess what youve all decided is okay with me..But I think my character might not join the attackin of Dan at that time..
With myself Im just workin out some kinks in my character, like how she actually gets her powers workin..But Ive got an outline for that so its all good :)
Right now my characters just wanting to watch the party at the moment, to see what she actually has to work with later on..
But yeah she'll meet up with eve and artimas outside of the bar..maybe not at the fighting incidient..but close by :)
