BATTLE SYSTEM
It will be done in this thread, not the main thread. Please post what you are rolling for in the post that you roll with to avoid confusion and help settle any disputes that may happen.
Roll1 100-sided die. Attacker roles first (after making their attacking post). Defender roles before posting their reply.
~~>Difference of less than 20 in attacker's favor: Minimal damage
<~~Difference of less than 20 in defender's favor: Attack misses
~~>Difference of 20 or more in attackers favor: Light damage of the defenders choice
<~~Difference of 20 or more in defenders favor: Attack blocked
~~>Difference of 40 or more in attackers favor: Moderate damage of the defenders choice
<~~Difference of 40 or more in defenders favor: Attack blocked/deflected/parried
~~>Difference of 60 or more in attackers favor: Heavy damage of the defenders choice
<~~Difference of 60 or more in defenders favor: Attack evaded/blocked
~~>Difference of 80 or more in attackers favor: Critical damage of the defenders choice
<~~Difference of 80 or more in defenders favor: Attack evaded/blocked/damage done to attacker somehow by the defenders choosing
~~>In the case of an escape attempt, escapee would have a random number generated between 1-50, and the other would do the same if they chose to follow or try to prevent it. Whoever's number is higher would decide the outcome of the escape.<~~

Wow, a dice system that works and doesn't clutter up the role-play! Nice,
Alright, I want to apply as a Grekken, but I don't know any sort of terminology you have for them. What would a pack of Grekken's call themselves? Do you think they would have titles like 'Vicious Dagger' or 'Strong Wing'? I mean, it's the race you've created, so I don't wanna sound wrong in my profile. xD

They're kinda like the human race, more than they would like to admit. Just like with people, some groups would find those names intimidating, others would find them hilarious or pathetic. So yes, that could work. If it's like a gang name or something of that sort, then that's perfect.

So, wait, what are the Grekkens? The children of the Nephilim and the humans who live on Grek and know they're not fully human?

Correct, though some of them don't actually live on Grek. It stopped being considered just a term to refer to those living on the planet, and became the general term referring to the offspring of Nephilim/Human women.

Alright, that clears things up. For some reason I thought they were the Native race of Grek, >>

It would make sense, given the term, but no. Technically, Lucifer and the fallen angels/demons were given the planet Grek, but they didn't have a name for themselves at that point, nor did they have a name for the planet then either. It wasn't until the Nephilim got there that they called it home. Demons are kind of like the ghosts and seeable yet non-touchable forces of Grek. They were the ones who had adapted God's term "Hell" for the planet. The Nephilim in all of their pride decided to give it their own name, and their children adapted the name to their species. Those remaining on Earth still hold that title, but only because of their lineage. So, more than anything, the planet was named after the people. I just took out a LOT of detail in what I posted for the story because it was a huge WOT, so I tried to simplify it. Guess I had to explain it anyway, though. lol

Okay, okay; lemme think and write a new bio before you post my profile. And, I have more questions, because I find this fascinating.
Grek is called Hell by the Demons, and Heaven is the home to Angels, so in this universe, where do human spirits go when they die? To the same Heaven and Hell, and if so, do they become Demons and Angels themselves once there?

Technically, something that is 100% spirit is an Angel. Demons are Angels, just not allowed in Heaven, so they have a different name. So, by that logic, when a human body dies, its spirit will go to either Heaven or to Grek and become a spirit. However, unlike the Angels and Demons that are created that way, it almost cripples the human to be that way. Like a newborn, in a way, it's like starting all over. They have to learn how to function without two elements, and with an excess of two others. So, they aren't really fullgrown yet. Like, you know the movie all dogs go to heaven, where the dogs die, and then they come back down as angels and are all like "whoa, see what I did? How did I did that?" It's kind of like that, only more extreme.
For example. I die. I am a good guy or something. My body stays on Earth, because it cannot go into the presence of God. My spirit goes to Heaven. I don't know how to function, and especially don't know how to use any powers I may have. It has taken Angels and Demons an eternity to master their abilities, and I am only just beginning. Luckily, I have Angels there to help me get onto my ethereal feet and teach me.
or...
I die. I am a bad guy or something. My body stays on Earth, because it couldn't survive the heat on Grek. My Spirit cannot get into Heaven because I'm a nasty person, so it goes to Grek. There, I will probably spend eternity floating about not knowing what to do because it's everyone for himself on Grek, especially amongst the demons. So, being purely spirit, I cannot be killed, but having nobody to teach me anything, I cannot do anything else. It really is torture.

Oooo~ Love it,
So what happens to the spirits of the Nephilim who die? Would they become Demons since [in death] they lose their physical bodies, and since they were once Angels, already have a knowledge of what is was to be in spiritual form? Also, in this case, would their power's change at all from when they were an Angel before they were given their titanic bodies and they sinned on God's Earth? Would they linger like a human's spirit would?
And what would happen to a Grekken's spirit who died either on earth or Grek?

Nephilim are extremely hard to kill, but yes they would return to being only spirits, and would then be able to travel to Earth for extended periods of time. However, like I said, they are EXTREMELY hard to kill, so even though most of them would rather not have their bodies anymore, they are kind of stuck with them.
Grekkens are another thing entirely. Since they are the children of the Nephilim, they can never get into Heaven. Their spirits are tainted. However, because of their Astral abilities, their spirits will naturally seek out another weaker spirit that still has a body and will try and take that body from it. The Grekkens have instincts, whereas the Nephilim rely solely on their knowledge. Nephilim spirits could also possess another body, but it's unlikely that they would try and take another Nephilim body because of the curse. A Grekken will almost always find another body without too much trouble, provided their spirit is strong enough. On Earth, it would be more difficult in some ways, yet easier in others. Because the Grekkens who have lived their entire lives on Earth are considered weaker and are far less in touch with their abilities because of their lack of experience with the Ancients, their bodies would be easier to take over. As well, there are those who do not even know about their heritage, obviously only those conceived in the last 30 or so years. Those would be the easiest to take over.

Oh as for the powers changing: When the Angels were given bodies, they kept their same powers. So, it would stand to reason that when they lost their bodies, they would retain the same. Even when a demon possesses say another Grekken, or a Grekken takes the body of another, the powers travel with the spirit, not with the body.

Alright, I only have one other question:
How do the Grekkens and the Nephilim travel between worlds?

Ah crap I meant to put that in the thingy.
Portals. Only something with a spirit can go through it. Demons can't return to Grek with human bodies, because the bodies will die on Grek.
They can also travel astrally, but that would leave their bodies helpless on Grek until their spirits returned.
Also, some Grekkens can just fly there, though it takes a long time. If you can grow wings in your shapeshifting, you can fly back and forth, since the Grekkens don't really have to breathe.
