Ello, ello, welcome to .REBIRTH.[&&].TEMPTATION. , an original RP guild created by yours truly, Elyon, in a desperate attempt to recreate a similar concept to an old RP-web of mine. Now, if you are here, there's no need for me to go into much detail as to what I expect from you, after all, I either know your capabilities or you proved to be awesomely awesome. So, without further ado, here's the complete plot of the guild.
In part, the plot was adapted and guided into a concept similar to when the RP website begun, so I hope you enjoy it.

- In the beginning there was only darkness and there was Him. He was the creator, the Beginning and the End. He was the first. In the vast expansion of the universe, He felt alone. So terribly alone that He engaged in the creation of a fruitful world that, in the future to come, would be known as Earth.
Summoning His will, He first created the Sun, to look after upon the creatures that would populate the earth, and the Moon, to guide his children and cradle them in the darkest of nights. He proceeded, then, to create boundless amounts of clouds to keep father Sun company and millions of stars to accompany mother Moon in her wake. Soon after this was completed, He stood back to admire His work and saw it all to be good.
Later, He separated the earth from the water creating rich soil and deep, clear water beds to qualm his children’s thirst. He created tall, bountiful trees upon the fertile soil to shade them from the Sun’s caress as well as shrubs and fruits for them to eat.
But still, He found something missing and He continued to work.
Beasts of all sizes, colors, and shapes were soon created to populate water, ground, and air. Then, He created His own children, the Humans. Intellectually, aesthetically, and morally, they stood above all others, making Him gain some type of fascination towards the specie. They stood above all the others creatures as rulers, as they were able to adapt to their surroundings and were able to appreciate the beauty of His other creations.
Glad with His work, He left Earth and settled in the Heaven’s upon it to watch it all unfold. However, soon after His departure, the shadows begun to stir, presenting an unknown hate by another of His creations, the Demons.
As a veil of shadows, they swept throughout Heaven, and in one day, turned every city into a pile of burning embers, every brave Angels into a stack of broken bones and rotten flesh. They turned every single note of happiness and hope into that of despair. As cities crumbled and lives were destroyed, these silhouettes continued to wipe out from Earth all who opposed them and, finally, God.
In a desperate attempt to salvage His creations, He released his own powers in seven Archangels and stepped into the challenge. They went to work quickly; rallying with the remaining Angels, they cut down the dark beings until there was but a few left. The traitors were surrounded, and the Angels filled with renewed hope advanced ready to finish the battle and to avenge the deaths of all those who had fallen. However, as Saint Michael’s blade, the Head Archangel, prepared to take the final blow upon Lucifer, the creature stretched out his arm and his thinning fingers coiled around the creature’s wing. “Ecce Gratum…” He softly chastised, a grin slowly curling across his lips, as he fell back into the gallows of darkness, bringing with him one of his wings. Finally, his deed was complete.
It is said that as the shadows engulfed the wicked being, his laugh rattled throughout the Earth, shattering all sense of goodness and of safety that had once existed.
======================================================================
The darkness was feeding on him, feasting on his ever abundant lust for power. There was no escape for his lost soul as he crawled with every ounce of strength from the looming black hole that threatened to swallow him. He felt so weak, so lost, so very desperate, that he could barely lift his ghostly-white arms to tug to some hopeful heaven ahead. And yet, no matter how far he crawled, no matter how strong he thought he was, he was consumed by this overpowering sensation to concede and accept the evil that was extending over his body, dripping its iniquitous venom that tore his skin wide open. In this way his inner consciousness was sprawled at its feet, and the He himself could not have been any worse than such torture as this. As the overwhelming darkness began to take him under his eyes screamed for a sign of salvation, that would never come, and his shrill cries only served to be swallowed by the endless gullet surrounding him. When the darkness quickly closed over his soul, his eyes shot open and his muscles slowly relaxed before his skin turned pitch-black and he turned into solid stone.
One of the creatures, the closest to the fallen demon, gave a small chuckle and crouched the ground. His eyes closed gently and his hand trudged towards the stone creature’s face, wiping the sorrowed mix of tears and sweat. “…You were so gullible…” The tattered voice wondered from his mouth, so softly that the sound shattered before it echoed through the room. “…Lucifer, you were so gullible…” As if on cue, the stone body begun to glow and soon started to crack. As the chest cracked open, two distinct orbs arose, madly pursuing one another as if engaged in a mad dance.
The creature, watching the two little sprites, rose to a stance and slowly followed the orbs with his gaze. Then, very suddenly, the pair separated and shot in opposite directions. The shadows flickered momentarily and the figure turned to look at the other four. “The act is done… Now it is our time to act…” The figures dispersed and slowly vanished into the night.
======================================================================
From those orbs, two creatures were born. Neither good nor evil, they were that which would become the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse: The bringer of death and collector of souls. Thus, the demons and angels engaged in the same goal: to find those creatures and convey their ideals into the two.
