so what who cares?
Cross City
Legends still argued what the holy Cross City's origins were, but those who walked the streets at night could tell you-- at the price of your life. Back before the God's Hand had swept the country, the city was infamously known; Sin City. Over run by rogue lycans, vampires and earthbound demons, it was a place that mortals ran into by accident and never left with their lives or minds in tact. Even the demonic races could smell the power in the city and they clung to this place like barnacles to a boat. The Vampires clung hardest, forming the first Vampire Council deep within the city's heart.
And then the crusaders came. Determined to purge the filth, they toiled for months until the ground was saturated with the unholy blood. There, they built their own councils. Now that the natural source of power was available, angels began to inflitrate. Cross City was surely blessed! And since angels and cruaders were there, churches came, and with churches came mortals once more.
But beneath the city, the most Ancient of the Vampires survived. They had disgraced themselves but they would rebuild, from the sewers. The holy organizations couldn't ignore that Vampires were still about, humans disappeared left and right. And soon, new Vampires began to show. Infuriated, they began programs to train slayers specifically designed to take out the Vampires..
True, the slayers can take out the new generations.. But are they ready for the Ancient beings sleeping beneath their feet? And are the Vampires ready to accept that their ancient enemies, the lycans, are trying to sneak their way back into Cross City for the natural powers the place possess?
On the sidelines, Angels and Demons are still in power struggle. The Demons want Cross City back, demanding that it remain Sin City. The Angels refuse, after all, it's theirs now.
Will there ever be peace in this place?
The Mistaken
He had never been important, in his life. He was born to a street whore, fatherless, and was raised a street punk. But that never changed his hopes that someday he'd teach them all a well deserved lesson.
His hopes came true one day in a stretch limo and an outstretched hand, a voice saying, "This one is my son. Why did you runaway?" He didn't know who these people were, but they insisted he was their son! Either the family had to replace a son who was never coming back, or create one quick; and he was available.
At first, he didn't mind the snob lessons. However, he was irrevocably different from the rest of the high class citizens, stemming from his homeless life. So when his first social event occurs, he can't help but step on the toes of one of the wealthiest young men around-- Derrick Flint!
Sweet Dreams Cemetary
Ethan was normal once-- till he met an old crone. He tried to be polite, trying to help her along through rough terrain. He did so well, the crone offered him a gift. Forever to help people, and take them where they needed to be. He was amazed, what sort of job was this? Thinking this was a wonderful job, Ethan agreed and paid the price.
His body was buried in Sweet Dreams Cemetary, where he learned exactly what his new job meant. He was to help the ghosts that lingered cross over to their next life. This was difficult because the Cemetary was huge and there were so many souls who refused to rest, and worse, he couldn't leave the cemetary. He would have to recruit people to help him, but only those with the power to see the dead could help him.
With the old ghosts demanding his help and new ghosts pouring in every year, it's a wonder if Ethan will ever complete his task. And what's his reward? He doesn't know yet.. But the crone did mention something about life...
