_storyline,​

Demons have taken over the world - disgusting, vile demons. They come in all shapes and sizes, some being stronger than others. But they all have one main goal: destroy everything in their path before they are destroyed. The only current way to stop them is for a Shadowhunter to kill them. Shadowhunters (also known as Nephilim) are humans with Angel blood in them. They're allowed to draw runes on their body, making them stronger than any ordinary human. Their main cause on this earth was to protect humans from demons. But...wait a minute.. Where are they? What happened to Alicante? It seems that they've just disappeared without any trace of where they might have gone. So who is going to destroy the demons and protect the world? Or has everyone just been doomed from the beginning?

The Downworlders have not a clue of what could have happened to the Nephilim, but they don't mind. Downworlders are human-demon hybrids and despite being half-demon, they don't particularly like them. So the world's not doomed afterall, is it? Wrong. There's only so much a Downworlder can do before it just gives up. They're strong, but they weren't created for the sole purpose of destroying demons - the Nephilim were. And the fact that it seems like the demons just continue to get stronger with each passing day doesn't help much. But, they have a plan.

Maellertach is a sword that gives you complete control over demons. The only problem is, you need to perform The Ritual of Infernal Conversion on it in order for it to work. It's not that hard of a ritual. Not at all. You only need to heat the sword and soak it in the blood of four Downworlder children. Not so bad, right? The adults are alright with this, because they feel as if it's truly the only way they'll be able to save the world. Unfortunately, they might be right about that. The ones that do have an issue with this plan are..well, the children themselves. They're not necessarily children. They range anywhere from fourteen to eighteen. They understand exactly what is going on, and none of them want to sacrifice themselves, even if it means protecting the world.

A group of Downworlders decided to run away, attempting to escape their possible fate. You're part of this group of rebels. You've decided that your life is more valuable, and though that may be a little selfish, you have a good reason - once the Downworlders get control over the demons, it's going to go to their head. They'll become power hungry. They'll use the demons for the littlest issues, making the world a whole lot worse than it was before. You don't want to be a part of that, so you broke away.

For the most part, you're just trying to blend in with humans. Werewolves, vampires, faeries, and warlocks trying to be human. It's kind of silly when you think about it, isn't it? But they're able to do it well, and for a while they live normal lives (other than killing the occasional demon). That is until they hear news that they're being searched for. And something worse than that, one from each race will be sacrificed in the ritual. Think of it as dying for your country.

It's such a great honor, isn't it?​

_children of the N I G H T,

Vampires. They usually drink animal blood, but occasionally they'll slip up
and take in human blood. It's not like they mean to - it's their instinct. The
sun can burn a vampire, but there's a spell that warlocks and witches can
perform on a vampire to allow them out in the sunlight for a few hours.
But other than that, you're stuck inside. You also have this dying hatred
for werewolves. Even if you think you could possibly like one, something
deep inside of you will hate it with everything you have.​

_children of the M O O N,

Werewolves. They're born human, but have contracted the lycanthrope
disease from a werewolf bite. In their human form, they have enhanced
speed and strength. Their first transformation is during a full moon, but
after that, they can change form whenever they please. Though, they'll
always change during a full moon. They have the same hatred for
vampires as vampires do for them, though it seems as if werewolves
dislike vampires more. Putting these two races together will almost
always end in a fight.​

_children of L I L I T H,

Warlocks and Witches. These strange characters have just about every
power you could think of, but only one power do they hold dear to their
heart (you're able to choose what that is). Lilith's children are the offspring
of humans and demons, but they usually take the form of the demon. The
good thing about being a warlock or witch, though, is that you're able to
change shape whenever you want. This makes it easier to blend into the
human world.​

_children of L Y L I C,

Faeries. These beautiful creatures have angel blood mixed with demon
blood. They are cruel and cunning and they tend to take advantage of
others. But despite all of this, they cannot tell a lie. Though, they can
get extremely creative with the truth. Their favorite pasttime is toying
with humans emotions, and then also tend to mess with the other races
of Downworlders if they get too bored. They have retractable wings, and
they hardly ever have them out.​

` rules_​

• Please don't godmode.

• Also, please don't make your character invincible. They will get hurt - badly, too.

• Try and stick with the roleplay. I'm not asking you to write a reply twice a day, but at least three posts a week should be able to keep the roleplay going.

• When writing replies, try to write at least a paragraph. That's around five sentences. If you're having difficulty doing so, try and add detail.

• You're allowed up to two different characters, and each has to be of a different race.

• You don't have to have read the books in order to join, since there are no actual characters from them in here. You only need basic knowledge of the Downworlders and I think I've given enough to you. But if you have questions on a certain race, please ask.

• If you're leaving or quitting the roleplay, please tell me.

• Cussing is permitted, but it's limited. Don't make every other word be the F word.

• I'd prefer if the most physical you got with another person was kissing them. If you feel the need to go further, take it to PM.

• All character applications go in the OOC thread. Not in the actual roleplay thread. Thank you. <3

• If you have any questions at all, ask them here. Or you can VM me, I don't mind. Just please ask a question if you have one - don't just assume what the answer would be.​
