Plague Of Angels (Now Open)

[Ladi Capri]

Introduction

What the humans don’t know will kill them.

These days dying cell batteries, meetings and nothing to wear on a Friday night are the worries of the day. Little do people know that in their world lies a much grander one. A world where human lives are inconsequent and humans are mere slaves and tools in a centuries old scheme and war.

They look like any other human and have adapted throughout the centuries as was necessary. They walk along in night and day to conference meetings and baby showers as others do, for Angels are a patient and deadly breed. Without a moments notice they will turn on friend and family for the sweet nectar that is freedom.

There are those that seek to protect the oblivious humans, keeping their predators corralled. They are the Matisera and they are looking for the Zakar and the Tablet of Tupey.

Setting

Covetteton would be called quaint if one were looking through a travel magazine, to some of inhabitants, Covetteton simple….was. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. Simply a small forgotten and overlooked town. Modest houses lined it’s quiet street and there was even an inn for those travelers in search of quaint, old-world and picturesque. Its most upscale restaurant was La Luna who, to outsiders, would compare equal to Red Lobster that appeared at every turn.
Highways led north out of Covetteton and two major cities, Gasden and Monticello, are conveniently no more than thirty five miles south and west respectively. In the east were scenes and landscapes that travelers sought after. A long strip of beach with black and white sand was guarded and both ends by jagged mountains that pierced the sky, cliffs jutting from their sides to hang over crashing waves. There lies uncharted lands between the mountains, highways and where man has given up trying to tame the forest. No ventures her without light, guide and a brave heart….or so it is said.
Most days there is a bit of a chill in the air but it usually calls for no more than a light sweater. Temperature reach a high of eighty one during the summer and lows in the upper thirties during the winter. Also, most days are a bit a overcast , sunny ones being few.

Cast Thus Far


Username: Capricorn Empress
Character Name: Katra Ouellette (Kiyet)
Race: Human
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Female
Ability: Strong instinct (Sera), Heightened hearing and sight, Fast healer
Appearance: Katra stands at five feet nine inches and, though she does not work out, her body is toned and daintily muscled (if there is such a thing). Her eyes are the most captivating things she believes she owns and constantly fields questions about them. Raven black hair hangs just past her shoulders but is usually in a ponytail or tight bun for work and convenience. Katra is seen mostly in jeans (always pants) and a tee shirt, only at work will you find her in a skirt. Her work uniform consists of a black skirt that ends just above the knees, low black heals, a blue blouse (manager) and stockings are optional.
Personality: Katra swings between several extremes (serious, lazy, carefree, etc) with a frequency that shocks those who first meet her. One thing that does remain a constant is her perceptiveness, her ability to see and file away the things others dismiss or don’t see at all. Katra has also never taken anything for granted and is always able to find pleasure in the simplest of things.
Occupation: Student, Restaurant Manager
History: Katra’s life thus far has gone much as many nineteen year olds lives have with a few oddities that always explained themselves away, except one.
--Her mother was a pediatrician, her father a local bank manager so she never had want for anything.
--To this day she has only been in the hospital once with an ear infection that cleared up that night. She healed quickly from bumps and bruises and saw and heard better than those she knew. For Katra, however, these thing just were, she never sought to explain them.
--She did question what others called her ‘women’s intuition.’ Some got a ‘bad feeling’ about things but Katra was sure there was a woman in her head who told her what to and not to do. At times she would swear they held conversations, this she kept to herself for obvious reasons. Though it seemed strange she always listened.
--Katra had heard many time how much she resembled her mother or father in some way and things along those lines, when she had looked below the surface they looked nothing alike. At 5’9” Katra was five inches taller than her mother and their eyes differed vastly from her parents. She had neither of their temperaments or tastes. Physically they shared bone structure and build but that were similarities went, that did not stop anyone from comparing them. Most importantly Katra couldn’t connect with her parents in ways she though they should. There existed a small gap that could not be bridged or filled.
--Despite those things and the voice in her head she loved her parents and Katra has gone about her life as any other her age. She worked at a local restaurant, went to school and anticipated graduation.


Username:
Character Name: Nivi Khalil
Race: Maisera
Age: 3087; Appears 19
Gender: Male
Ability: Psychic
Appearance: Nivi's body and coloring. Nive's face. Nivi is six feet ten inches of toned muscle and olive skin dominated by a brooding countenance and unexplained white hair. In his time where most Romans warriors around him sported black his stark white hair had raises questions. Today no one seems to mind and he's more than fine with that. His body remains muscled through extensive training and his work in carpentry. Sharp eyebrows are constantly drawn together over inquisitive grey/silver eyes that betray nothing.
Personality: Living such a long time, seeing so many come and go, takes its toll after awhile and has turned Nivi into a bit of a loner. Coupled with fragility of human kind, they tend to pry and his pas was not available for public scrutiny. He despises weakness in himself and others and those in need of constant pity and codling. He’s a hard, disciplined and complex man and only sees his duty.
Occupation: Student, Carpenter
History: Nivi’s past is mostly a blur after more than three thousand years. What he does remember is being one of Rome’s greatest warriors at a young age and being betrayed and murdered by his wife.

Men had cowered at the site of General Gandou and his army, kingdoms either bowed or burned in his wake. For his king and Rome no campaign was too great or dangerous, Nivi saw only victory and wealth. The years passed, wars were won, victories celebrated his young human heart of 21 was not satisfied. It yearned for companionship, for Sian Vera, the gods did not deny him. He’d believed them happily married and never in need for anything.

Then he had believed, then he had been a fool.

He’d come home weak but victories from another battle seeking his wife. He’d found her soaking in their bath and joined her. Shortly after he watched her leave to return with meat, bread, fruit and wine.

Her beautiful face was the last thing her remembered as the poison worked quickly through his veins. Tears rolled slowly down her cheek as her delicate lips formed the words ‘I’m sorry.’ His soul had cried out and Sera had come to him, saved him and given him a purpose. Now he fought in a new battle that was older than he.


Username:
Character Name: Alia Noel
Race: Angel
Age: 2128; Appears 22
Gender: Female
Ability: Telekinesis
Appearance: Alia is a rather graceful woman who should not be underestimated. Though she stands at only five feet and seven inches her physical prowess is another story. Her body is less muscled than Katra's, to most she appears to float rather than walk. Her voice is rather soft but still holds a ring of unquestioned authority. With a wingspan of seventeen ft she has the largest only outdone by her leader Ishtar.
Personality: Alia us rather cruel woman. In the surface she appears to be an innocent and harmless woman with no worries, beneath, her heart is a hard, black stone. Her blood lust knows no limits and her craving for death and destruction is never sated.
Occupation: Unknown
History: Little is known of Alia and she prefers it that way. As the right hand of Ishtar she commands hordes of Angels. Her origins are unknown but it is believed that she was a butcher’s daughter, abused and mistreated before she turned and wiped out her entire people. She then wondered across lands slaughtering any who opposed her or simply to entertain herself. She soon attracted the attentions of Ishtar, was trained and put in charge of the Angel army.


NPCs


Sera: Looks much like Katra but no one knows this and those who have seen her don’t remember.
--The goddess that commands and creates the Matisera. She is also the voice in Katra’s head. For countless centuries she’s warred with her sister Ishtar who seeks to control of the human race. Because the gods cannot directly control or influence humans, she commands the Matisera to protect them.

Ishtar: The goddess who commands and creates the Angels. In a very close war with her sister Sera, she was trapped along with most of her Angel army behind the Gates of Ishtar in Bein. On the verge of death most Sera’s power and life went trapping Ishtar and her followers but it was not strong enough. Those she powerless and unable to escape, enough of her powers remain that she can communicate with Alia and Angels on earth.

Term/Need To Know

How to kill the Matisera:
---Daggers of Kroix: Crafted by Kroix who is the blacksmith to the gods. He created only six; three are in Sera’s possession, one with Nivi, another destroyed and the last’s whereabouts are unknown.
---Daggers of Sera: Crafted by Sera, there are three.
---Scroll of Sera: Tattoo of Sera’s crest marked on all of the Matisera wherever she touched them and removed their dying soul. Being stabbed her is an instant KO. This is usually kept covered/hidden for obvious reasons.

How to kill the Angel:
---Daggers of Kroix: (see above)
---Being dismembered and bodies burned.
---Inkblot located in the center of the chest where stolen human souls enter and leave the body. When the soul is taken into an Angel it slowly begins to die, Angels run the risk of going insane as the dying soul tends to yell, cry, etc until it dies.


-Victims of Angels whose souls are not completely removed can reanimate and become the puppet of their attacker for a forty eight hour period. If another twenty four hours pass before the body is destroyed they become an Angel in need of training. Bodies have to be dismembered and burned
-Angels feed to LITERALLY maintain their sanity. Also the younger the victim, the stronger the soul, the stronger the feeder. Therefore Angels favor babies, children and pregnant women.
-Angels and Matisera ALWAYS fight amongst each other. For this reason they are alone or in groups of no more than three.
-Angels die from taking a Matisera’s soul.
-Zakar: Means key. This opens the Gates of Ishtar.
-Tablet of Tupey: Details the war of Ishtar and Sera and how to unlock the Gates of Ishtar.

[Ladi Capri]

Just a couple more months. This has become Katra’s mantra since the beginning of her senior year. The halls and classrooms of C.K. Legion High were now too familiar. She longed for that final bell, the last walk out the double doors and knowing she wouldn’t have to return the following day or week.

No mistaking, she loved her school, adored her friend and teacher, but with freedom so close that was all she could see. Through the windshield of her 2003 Honda Civic she watched kids she had grown up with pass and go about their own business. Time seemed to slow for her then amplifying the scene around her. Jenny shook flakes from her mousy brown hair as she laughed at something Cody said and he in turn barely caught himself as he stumbled. They turned then and waved and she return the gesture, her heart a bit sad with graduation around the corner. This was not the time, she was going to be late.

Wait Katra. It was a whisper in Katra’s mind, a warning. Her hand hesitated on the door handle and a large white SUV swung wildly into the empty space beside her smaller car. Rock music vibrated the Navigator to be cut off during a guitar solo and two large boys jumped down from the passenger side.

Katra climbed shakily from her car leaning against it for support as she caught her breath. With her head hung and eyes closed she concentrated on regulating her heart. She could hear the crunch of shoes through the snow around her and feel the chill as snow flakes settled on the back of her neck and her exposed arms.

Just a couple more months.
