“Something's coming.” The shadows played across the man's long, lanky figure hidden under an old Burberry tan trench coat. His voice was laced with mild concern and he folded the newspaper in his hands, betraying his anxiousness.
“Something's always coming.” Said his partner flatly, who was dressed in a darker, more modern wool coat, collar turned up against the drizzly, cold night. He was flipping through pages of something on his iphone, wondering why the old friend beside him was still clinging to a dying media.
“It's different this time, and you know it. The signs are there but they're...wrong. Like someone has soaked them in blood or stuck them in front of a fun house mirror. Things are tainted...warped. We might need help or things could truly end this time.”
Iphone stopped swiping. “Since when do we need help?”
That earned a skeptical glance from Trench Coat. “Would you like the short list?”
“Okay fine, but we don't even know what this is. We don't know who we need. What sort of call would we put out?” He asked curtly.
Trench Coat considered this. “I'd say we make it as general as possible, open it to any spirit, hunter or exorcist that has their eyes open and isn't afraid of a little trouble.”
Iphone made a face. “That sounds like the sort of thing that could make everything worse.”
“Or,” Trench Coat began, “it might just help us save the world.”

The concept is a modern-day urban fantasy with a strong globetrotting/international element. The goal: prevent the apocalypse. It's happening too soon! And things are definitely off. The angels are worried and a call has been put out: Anyone with “eyes wide open”, that is to say, anyone savvy about the supernatural, has been called to help uncover which evil force wants to end all of mankind and stop them. The villains have permeated the highest levels of human society and we'll have to uncover the enemies, who have swaddled themselves deeply in mortal corruption, before we can defeat them.
Our Story so Far...
Demons have been augmented using a strange encapsulated liquid. The trail ran cold until the archangel Gabriel came to the team with a new mission: find and destroy the antichrist. Fighting their way too him in a high-end home in Paris they found that the "antichrist" was just a baby, but something was definitely off. They brought the child to a seer who could shed more light on who or what this baby actually was. In that very same place they learned that a man buying the strange, power-augmenting elixir was going to meet his supplier not far away. Our heroes are currently in Moscow, learning more about the baby and trying to track down the ones distributing the elixir of power.
Almost any supernatural being will be permitted as a playable character, the exceptions being vampires or werewolves, because I'm tired of them. You can draw from any culture or mythology. The interesting thing about a premature apocalypse: the crew downstairs might also disagree with it, making for some interesting team up potential.
Some brief examples of playable entities: angels, demons, djinn, orisha, heroes, tricksters and minor deities. Human demon hunters/exorcists/mages are also playable and very encouraged.
This will be a mature, detailed rp, so if your writing style is short posts and little to no character devo or cooperative interaction, then this rp is not for you.
You must read the rules, the lore and the character guidelines before you submit a character.
So there we go! Reply if this is something you could really get behind. The thread has been going since April and will continue for a long time to come. We have a pretty solid team of very exceptional writers and I'm looking for people who are going to give this an earnest try.
Silent Rapture - Accepting new characters
There are things we can't see. Powerful things. For the most part they keep to themselves, content to let mortals go about their business. Now though, now something is happening. We've always been told stories about the end times. After all the stuff you hear on the news hey, maybe you're even...
