Here is where we will discuss the primary setting of the guild and the main story and possible plots. If you'd like to discuss other things or if you'd like to look back at what was discussed earlier then go here.

This one time at band camp....
You that would be fun. Make people think it has something to do with American pie but it's just a simple band camp.

Okay, as we all know this guild will be a demon hunter guild so the players will either be hunting demons or controlling them. One of the major things I'm having a hard time settling on is a story and a setting.
I've discussed this with friends in the past and some say that it should take place on a different planet besides earth.
My original idea would be for it to take place on a post-apocalyptic earth where demons are taking over and humans, angels, and other various creature have to fight them off.
Now, I suppose the reason my friend wanted me to do it on a different planet or whatever was that it didn't make much sense for them to come to earth and take over for no reason. I'm a bit hazy on who the friend was and who came up with the different planet idea to tell the truth, but for the point of the discussion I'll say it was them.
If we go post-apocalyptic earth, then we'll have notable landmarks to play off of, but if we go with another planet then we can pretty much make up whatever we like. Now the planet can be in another dimension/universe or it could just exist in another plane of existence, but I'm just throwing out ideas.

Hmm well I stole part of this idea from a book I read once.
As far as storyline it could indeed take place is a post apocalyptic Earth, I rather like the idea so my idea is indeed based there. Now I'm not gonna state how the apocalypse in question took place, which ulitmately uncovered the exsistance of creatures, who had been hiding among the humans all those years, including the now very strong and populated demons (assuming that's how they would be in the said world now). This provides opportunity for tension between not only demons and everyone, but humans and creature, due to not all humans being sure how to handle it.
So let's say there are of course demon hunters, perhaps some who work alone of in small groups, but also a large organized company, focused on instead taking out immeadiate threats want to take down the stonger more powerful demons running things. Thought to nobody's knowledge the man running the company works with an orgaization of demons and sends the hunters on missions to instead take down demons who are a threat to the demons organization, basically using the company as unknowing assassins.
This opens up opportunity for a first story arc.
Of course there are still things to work out and I have other ideas, but I thought I'd throw this one out there first.
EDIT: Okay so due to me now being under the impression Angels shall also be a major thing, I'd like to suggest that the one company has been brought under the impression angels are in fact "evil" and need to be taken care of as well... or something of the variety?
I really don't know.... ^^;

I like Nyx's whole idea for the post apocalyptic setting. But to offer some alternate ideas, I shall play devils advocate. Maybe we could set in modern times, with a regular sort of setting. The demon hunters would be those who are able to spot the demons and attack them, along with any sort of rogue or violent creature. The creatures could have a variety of opinions towards the demon hunters, ranging from aggression to cooperation. There could even be a species that are self designated demon hunters. Demons would be those truly evil creatures that have advanced beyond their regular strength via dark rituals that are forbidden. Angels could also be made in a similar manner except only those pure of heart could survive the ritual. The methods demon hunters use to kill any creature is via weapons of special materials that are specifically forged for them to use. A first storyline could be a rash of random attacks in which amateur demon hunters are sent to investigate. What they uncover is a berserk creature gathering the materials for their demon empowerment ritual. The demon this creature creates could potentially overwhelm tge hunters and escape, saying he will recruit more of his kind to fight the demon hunters. And yes, I stole part of that idea from the Mortal Instruments series.
Feel free to pick and place these ideas as needed. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Both ideas are pretty good, but when it comes to Tesei's idea I'm a bit...fickle, I suppose. The idea of demons and other various creatures being visible to a select few is mostly why I feel that way. It's not much of a big deal and it's believable, but I think bleach when I read it lol. Aside from that it seems pretty sound.
Also, as I've told Nyx, I like her idea too, but the angel portion isn't completely necessary, I just figured I'd add them for things to be a bit more biblical. Of course I feel they are still needed, so maybe their importance could be lowered instead so that they can be in it, but the rp won't suffer because of low numbers in angels.

I think i forgot information somewhere. The creatures and such are not totally intangible to humans, their most bestial traits are just not visible or less obvious to them. Think like the Mist in Percy Jackson. The humans get a distorted version of the person but not the events. So or when the regular human is attacked, they die with the knowledge of something not human was near them the whole time without their knowledge until just before they died.

Alright, I guess that sounds alright. I suppose my image is leaning more towards things after the apocalypse though. Also, if we decide to do things that way then we'll have to take in how that effects everything that will be included in the rp. If we make it so that only select people can see these beings then we might have to switch around some things or change them completely. However, this is one of the reasons I wanted people to help out when I don't know what to really go with.

Okay well just randomly popped into my head so I'm typing this for the sake of it being there XD I don't even know if it's a decent idea.
Setting wise what if we did more post-apocalypse, but cities formed? Such as a main one and a few others one. of course the main one would likely be one where humans and creatures would have cooperated together to build a fortress, and the leaders of the city (going with my original idea one of these leaders could quite possibly be corrupt) started recruiting humans with the abilities to fight and should it be only a few humans that can see the see them as well.
God nevermind I forgot what I was saying.... I'm really no help right now I can't explain my thoughts properly with words.

It started off pretty well in my opinion until you forgot the rest xd
The others should get involved too. Maybe I should pm them. I'm still trying to rally a couple more people.

It is kinda bad that I rallied more people already. But Nyx's current idea sounded good until it trailed off. Unsure what else to add at this current point, but my advocate idea can be cut away as needed. Switch out setting, sure. Take only an idea or two, that's alright. Just don't take it too much as a full on idea as it is more like good elects that I wanted to throw out there.
