((I know Dema, don't say anything. If you wish to join, join. If not, bugger off. Same with anyone from Gamer's Intent or Hungry Boot.))
The world was in a state of balance. Good and evil vied for dominance and order battled against chaos in a perfect balance.
Until the fabric between the barriers started to break and tear. The evil of the planes of hell started working their way into the world, tipping the balance into chaos.
The prophets spoke of a small group of people, sometimes even creatures, who, with their pure souls, would be able to permanently fix the barrier between the planes.
Wizards, warriors and heroes of all shapes and sizes rose up to fix the barrier. They could close the gaps, but not permanently. The gaps would eventually reopen or just open again somewhere else.
And then a small group, drawn together by random circumstance, find themselves battling a group of demons together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There we go, a role-play that starts with fighting. Don't worry about profiles, just post and make sure your character is described well in the first post. Also, make sure that your character is different to everyone else's. I.E., same race, different class (wizard or fighter or archer). Try to be imaginative and don't, for any reason, god-mod.
Finally, I am limiting this role-play to 6 characters.

The blood of the demon sprayed fiercely upon my face as i cleaved my blade into the vile creatures skull. Next thing i knew as heaved my sword from the demon remains eight demons surrounded me, thinking to myself i my strength was far gone and taking on all of them would kill me.
Kneeling on the blood staned dirt i reached into my coat pocket suddenly a demon charged me from my left, i quickly rolled out of the way while swinging my blade at the demons gut.
Silence fell in the air as if time had stood still, i knew why this was it was becuase i was using a small stone tablet that had inscriptions on it.All of a sudden the atmosphere returned to normal and the demon that was on my blade had dissapeared.
I was so weak by now all of the demons now at once charged me, i was hoping some would rescue me i closed my eyes praying for my life.....

A demon slammed into an invisible wall not a foot from the red robed mage as he continued his spell casting.
The robes flickered and caught the sunlight, making them look like they were on fire, rippling with oranges and yellows. His orange hair was long and tied in a braid, which whipped back and forth with the motions of his spell casting. A slight grin crossed his burnt but otherwise handsome face and blue-grey eyes as he finished the spell and a six foot staff of fire appeared in his hands, slightly taller than he was.
With an unnatural speed, the mage lasted out at the demon who slammed into his shield, causing it to burn instantly. He started walking towards a female warrior, who seemed to be surrounded and in need of help. How they both managed to get here was probably a coincidence, but it would be interesting to uncover.
Removing a small flask from one of his belt pouches, he said a few words and threw it onto the back of one of the demons attacking the girl. The liquid splashed onto another demon. They both turned to the mage and with a little goodbye wave from the mage, they burst into flames.
He stepped up to the side of the girl, poked a demon with his staff and set back into a defensive pattern. while attempting to cast a shielding spell on the girl.

Tines on a pole spinning, she stepped past a demon, lashed out with the but of her weapon and cleaved its head in with the sharp tines on the end of her eight foot pole. She grinned as the next demon, thinking to attack her in the middle of the pole, was flipped over her head as she rolled backwards. The demons head lodged into a tree, comic style.
Standing and brushing the twigs out of her golden hair, she scanned the area with her sharp blue eyes, noticing the fire mage and the warrior girl. They could hold their own, she thought to herself. After all, noone's ever needed me before, so why now?
She brushed her black suit off, brushing the shortbow and the arrows, making sure her acrobatic roll hadn't broken anything.
Leaning the black pitchfork against the nearest tree, she slipped her bow off her shoulder and started accurately pumping arrows into demons coming out of the massive rent in the ground. Someone needed to close that and the mage was probably their best bet at the moment. As it was, she was likely to run out of arrows in seconds.

As i prayed for my life all i heard was demons screaming and i felt an intense heat for some reason, i stood up quickly which made my long red priest coat flail in the wind i checked my legs, they were fine. The leggins i had were made from tough leather and blessed by the high priest at my temple,my shirt was just a plain ordinary shirt with long sleeves also my boots that i wore were triple layered leather.
As i focused myself i positioned my body for combat holding my sword infront and to my left side with both hands holding the hilt. My sword was of the ancient relics from the holy priest wars long ago,the temple i served under ordained to me this holy relic,the blade was golden and had the insriptions of my temples order on it.
As i looked over to my left a mage was casting a protection spell over me, i knew of this spell but was'nt able to master it yet as you see im a apprentice priest sent out to banish the demons from this world.
I walked over to the mage being very careful as to not interupt his spell for if you do that then the spell could have untold power. As i walked closer
he open his eyes and i stopped, i prepared myself to fight then he just laughed at me........

He smiled and opened his hand out to the girl in the red robes. He only needed to have physical contact with the recipient for the spell to work on them and he was pretty sure that the girl new that. She seemed to have followed his movements and might have had an inkling as to what he was doing.
Using his free hand, he whipped the fire staff around behind him and sent demons reeling and burning. He noticed the 'gate' as he called it, not too far away, demons still coming out of it. He would have to close that. The whistle of arrows through the air was the first sign he'd had of the fighter who was shooting highly accurately into the demons. He would have to pay attention to her too.

I wondered to myself should i trust this mage ?, then he held out his hand to me then i realised that he needed to have contact with me so the spell could be effective.
As i touched his hand the feeling of new life entered me and renewed my energy. As this happened i heard the whistling of arrows flying towards the Demon Gate i looked around to see where the arrows were coming from but to no avail, i turned to the mage and said thankyou, told him my name was Rayne and then quickly turned to head to the Demon Gate.
As i was jumping over the dead bodies of the demons when the thought ran through my head hang on sec, i have no idea how to close this thing. Even as such a thought ran through my mind i realised the mage might know to or even the hidden archer, so with that confidence i continued my charge towards the gate........

He shook his head as the young lady ran towards the gate. His staff caught the heal of a pursuing demon, killing it in a flash of fire. However, that used up the last of the charge of the staff and it promptly vanished from his hands.
"Bugger," he muttered as he walked after the one called Rayne. His cat reflexes spell had worn off too, so he was back to his normal pathetic mage self, with only the shield to help him and the archer.
He cast a quick spell as he followed the girl. His invisible shield became slightly visible as an orange 'haze' around him, except that it only tinted everything viewed through it orange, rather than make it hazy. The demon that dived at him was engulfed by flames upon impact with the shield. The mage smiled.
He cast another spell, this one giving him a flaming sword. He threw it in front of him, muttered another word and the sword jumped out of it's flight and started hacking at the nearest demons, lighting them up with fire.
The mage smiled and continued towards the gate, occasionally blasting demons with bursts of fire from his fingers.

Whilst running towards the Demon Gate i pulled out the stone tablet and read the inscription which roughly translated "Give me you're strength and haste O Heavenly Father" when read by one of the Holy priests or their apprentices it gives them a brief moment of the Heavenly Fathers power.
Once i had finished reading it the world around me seemed to slow down and i rushed to slay the demons, also i noticed the mage was in foot behind me and i hadn't yet found where the archer was.
I held my sword with both hands although i can weild it with one hand,and charged straight through the mass of demons holding my my sword to one side of me. I kept my sword stiff and ran through them cleaving the flesh and bone i emerged on the other side of them then turned to head back for another pass through the Demon mass.
I was hoping that mage would be able to to close the gate or even the archer who had not yet emerged,even with doubt with in mind i fought because that was my duty as a apprentice priest.......

Loraya swore that the little warrioress had 'jumped' using a spell, but there wern't any fighters that she knew that could haste like that. And the stone tablet seemed to indicate that the fighter was a priestess too.
That mage seemd to catch her attention too. He seemed to be only using fire spells of some sort or another. She recognised the fire shield and the fire bursts. He must be a specalised elementalist she concluded.
Running out of arrows, she dropped her bow and scooped up her pitchfork. A pair of demons had spotted her and were moving towards her cover, signalling for others to come.
Grinning like a mad woman, Loraya leapt out of th bushes and planted her feet on the chest on one demon, making it stumble back. Raming the end of her pitchfork into the demon's chest, she sprung off the creature and onto the shoulders of the next, where she swung the sharpened tines of her pitchfork across, swinging it through it's head, killing it. She leapt back to the first and planted the tines in its back before ripping out the pitchfork and sweeping it around her in a defensive pattern.

His eyes closed in concentration, he closed the gap between himself and the priestess. He knew where everything around him was, for they were all warm and had their inner fires, which he could sense.
The gate, however, was ice cold and radiated negative heat to him. He was sure it wouldn't affect anyone else, seeing as he was so attuned to fire it wasn't funny.
His magic gripped at the earth around the gate and started pulling at it. The earth groaned and started to move over the gate until the mage's shield failed and he was hit on the shoulder by a demon. He turned and threw a small fireball in its face as he restored his shield. Something with anti-magic capabilities was nearby, but he didn't know where. It was probably hidden within the demons ranks.

<*waggles eyebrows*>
"Bonzai!!" Sendra yelled, bursting from the woods on the back of a giant bear. Like a deranged paladin, she rode her "steed" into the fray, her twin blades outstretched and bowling over several demons.
Grinning obscenely, she tipped her head to the others, leaping off her bear with a very impressive, deadly (and completely unnecessary) sword twirl, slicing three nearby demons in half.
"Ya gotta admit," the ranger said, her eyes shining from an inner madness, "that looked cool." She then plunged back into the fray, her swords flashing in the late afternoon sun. Soon, the air was filled with her wild laughter and the ground red with blood.

As i was ploughing my way through the demons i noticed the mage casting a spell as he did that i felt the ground move beneath me, i quickly dodged out of the area as the earth bulged taking demons to their feet , this manuver cost me the last bit of my spell.
At the same i noticed the hidden archer had appeared felling demons with such acrobatic skill i was amazed then at that moment three demons lunged at me, holding my sword firm i sprung forward missing the first one but decapitating the other two.
Then i noticed a massive bear charging out the forest, the bear had a rider i quickly felled a demon then hurried away from the fight thinking "Is this a ally to help us or not?"
The rider quickly hopped off the bear and came straight into battle when seeing this i knew the rider was on our side, with that thought i headed back to the battle for more myself........

Changing the cadence of his spell, the mage made massive and probably completely unnecessary movements of his arms.
In essence, all he was doing was attempting to find any other magic users. It didn't take him long to notice that the non-demons had a little magic in each of them, all different. It only took him another half second to locate the demon spell caster.
Grinning, he stepped away from the priestess and started towards one of the few groups of demons. Waving his arms dramatically to conceal his true intent, he cast a fireball.
This one, however, started out as a pebble which he threw at the feet of the demons. They looked at it in confusion then started forward, only to have the pebble explode behind them, engulfing them in fire.
As the smoke cleared and the demons collapsed, one larger demon pushed a dead demon out of the way. The larger demons body was lined with glowing red runes, each emanating evil of some sort.
"My lucky day," the demon said as the runes started to glow brighter. "I shall add your power to mine, little firebug."
"Brilliant."
The mage stared at the demon for a moment before they both started casting spells.

Just before i reached the mass of demons i noticed the mage and this hulking demon which was glowing like fire face off,i figued that this must be the demon that was in control of the gate.
I ran towards the demons while doing so i spoke a blessing chant over my sword which made a flame burst onto the sword coating it in flames of judgement(a spell which is given only by the Heaven Father himself my master did not know i had this ability. I thought to myself "since the mage is a tuned to fire he would notice this althougth he seemed quite focused fighting the demon leader so he may not notice".
I also read the stone tablet again, the stone can only be used every 30 minutes and lept forward into a group of twenty demons i held my sword in a downward style and when i approached them i heaved my sword up at them which cuased flames from the sword to leap out and engulf the mass of demons killing all but four........
