CHAPTER 6 - Present Day

-----

When the Heavens split, and the Gods descended to strike down the Empire which once thrived;
A time of peace, and prosperity would flourish throughout the land, but the very core of humanities darkness was not entirely extinguished. For in this world where there is light there will always be darkness, and from that darkness the greats sins of days long passed flourished...

What remained of the Empire was nothing more but ruins, once great cities nothing but a shadow of their former selves. It was on the very day when this civilization was destroyed that the seeds for an unspeakable evil were planted. Men who are corrupted by power do not leave this world without leaving a mark, when they saw their precious Empire crumbling they cursed the Gods, and their very souls spilled with a dark energy. The accumulation of this evil intent would gather itself in the abandoned ruins, festering, and waiting for its opportunity to bloom into the blood rose it was meant to be. It was not until one of the ones responsible for the destruction of the Empire fell into the abyss, with his falling from grace a crack would appear in the suppressive barrier that confined the evil entity. With this the opportunity was taken, spreading throughout the empty lands of the once great Empire, this nameless evil began to grow. Until finally she became the manifestation of the seven sins that have plagued the human spirit since the dawn of their existence.

Septum, is the name that is whispered by the lips of this entity. An evil so great that the grounds she walks upon dies, an entity so purely in tune with the abyss that she will corrupt everything, and everyone she touches. Septum aims to reclaim what she believes is owed to her, she will reclaim this world, and when she does she will spread the sins allowing them to consume the soul of every man, woman, and child in her new Empire.

Her Evil had grown, it was fuelled by the tragic scars that stained the ruins of the Empire. From that she would use her powers to call forth the seven evils, to give them physical bodies. Every shadow around her would stir to life as they emerged; demons born from the evils of the past, each as powerful as the last, and as eager to unleash their sin upon the unsuspecting world.


The six Desecrants, is what she calls them her loyal soldiers she leads them across the land now marching with them each with one unified goal in mind. To bring about an unprecedented change to this world, to bring followers to her knees, and to destroy all who would oppose her. The Gods who watch over this world, to her they are weak fools who would stand by and forsake their followers. It is with this reasoning that she will lure as many of them as she can to join her ranks, to swell her armies so that she may bring about a new era to this world.

A character wants to be made with powers from a desecrant? Cool. It's just like an app. Fill out their powers and what they do and which Desecrant they follow.. and we'll tell them the cost they'll have to pay (as the Desecrant speaking) in order to keep the powers. They are able to decline, accept, or make changes to their powers before acceptance.

Someone wants to start following a Desecrant? Easy! They'll post in the growth/change section with the powers they want, who they want to follow, and so on. We'll respond as a Desecrant (after all necessary adjustments to the powers are made through review) and tell them that the following will happen:

1. They will vow to forsake their gods.
2. They will be branded forever by the mark of a Desecrant. (all will - new characters and characters that are changing)
3. They will have to sacrifice ___ or perform ___. Something awful.. character-specific to give them these evil powers to show THEIR ALLEGIANCE.
