You were different, that's why you were being punished. Those are the words that the angelic statue had told you before it had nearly choked the life out of you. You remember your vision swimming, everything becoming much dimmer, questioning why this was happening to you. Just because you want to do something different, just because you don't want to go into the same company that your father had, the sane one that had drained away any semblance of life from him? You remember having nothing but regret for your life at that point, for not doing all of the things that he would wanted to do, but had been too afraid of going against the grain.
And then blistering relief, cool air rushing down your throat again, And the sight of a man in clothing that you had never seen worn before, a style that would have been unthinkable to see within the confines of the City. You remember him tearing apart the wooden angels taking you to a strange bar filled with odd creatures and odd people. and most of all you remember his words.
“The world might have abandoned you, but that means from this point on you can do whatever you want.”
Now I live a life of freedom and rebellion, warring against the factory and their manufactured angels, having sold my soul to a true demon. All in the hopes that one day others will not have to walk a path of hardship just to follow their dream.

Judges of the City is a play by post RP that has players take the role of characters that have been divorced from the city-wide control of a massive corporation simply known as the Factory. Almost every business within the city has ties to the Factory in one way or another, and everything from local government to religious organizations within the city also have ties with them, it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that the factory controls every aspect of life within the confines of the city.
And when someone disrupts the unity of the city or goes against the factory the city itself will become engulfed in a thick fog, which heralds the arrival of angels. beings of clockwork and fire that seek out any who disrupt social order in even the most minor way, and will either drag them back to the massive building on the outskirts of the city to be reprogrammed into ideal citizens or we executed on the spot and erased from the city's history.
There exists another choice for those targeted by the factory however, making a contract with a being known as a demon. In their own words they are those who decide on the judgment of humans, and see the Factory as an affront to their existence. Without free will, without the option to choose, there can be no good or evil, an existence of stasis that will cause the soul of a human to rot to nothing and cease to exist when they meet their end.
Once contracted with a human the demon will stay on earth tied to an object closely regarded by that person, or take the form of an animal that the person would find pleasing. When in dire straits the demon can tie its existence even closer to a human, which takes on two separate forms.
The first of these being Apotheosis, where the human takes on aspects of the demon but remains largely themselves with full access to the unique abilities carried by the demon. This could be anything from weapons and armor to control of magic that a human would not normally have.
The second is known as Submission, with a human allowing their consciousness to sink to a secondary role allowing the demon more control over their shared body, they take on more demonic traits and are used fully as a vessel of the Demons power. This form comes with a time constraint of around 5 minutes at maximum, however until that time ends there's no ability for the human to cancel the activation.
Whether what you do is right or wrong, only you are going to be able to judge.

Quick info
- It is impossible to leave the City by normal means, anytime one leaves the confines of the city for any reason they will simply find themselves turned back. If asked , the demons simply say this is one effect that the factory is having on the area but otherwise remain completely silent on the issue.
- The time period is modern, however technology itself is a limited resource for most people within the bounds of the city, most modern tech is either sold via Factory stores or Factory brands of the same product.Most pop culture that enters into the city is highly sanitized versions of what we might see in the real world, however those outside of the system have ways of getting around the blockades put up by the Factory.
- No one knows how the angels are made nor who runs the Factory, there's only been one assault on the Factory's main base within the Rebellion’s short history, and it ended with them forced retreat against a near endless army of clockwork angels.
- Demons come in all forms, some take the form of mythological creatures, and other demonic beings taken from studies of the occult throughout history.
