...for we have sinned.
It was always rumored that the apocalypse would one day come, but with all the false calls in the past no one believed them this time. We should have believed them.
The apocalypse has finally come. God has come back to earth, taken up all the faithfuls, and have left the sinners to die. Everyone good or pure is now gone, leaving to world to criminals, drug addicts, and murderers. You are one of the left behind, but there is hope for some of you - those with angelic descent. But just as there are Angels there are Demons, some of you are of demonic descent. Some of you just want to watch this world burn.
Your Role:
Exorcists:
These are those of you of angelic descent.
It is your job to roam this now forsaken earth and evacuate demonic influence. The people left behind are all evil in their ways, yes, but demons have begun their possession of the earth and it's your job to protect the rejected from them. You must remove these demons and kill them. But the main goal of these exorcism is to restore God's faith in humanity and get him to give the Earth a second chance. This can be achieved by convincing as many people as you can to atone for their sins. And, also, you are saving your own soul from destruction.
There are two types of Exorcists:
Extractors - those who remove the demons. They are the only ones with the ability to bless, heal, and seal. Sealing demons requires taking the demon's soul and putting it in something inanimate blessed by an Extractor. This method is used when the demon is too powerful to be killed. Once the demon is sealed it's easier for the Vanquishers to destroy. Most Vanquishers pair with an extractor.
Vanquishers - those who do the actual killing of the demon. They are the only ones with the power to kill the demons. They use magical weapons - not raw magic - to fight. They use magic runes to fight. Rune fighting involves taking a symbol and then invoking it. Runes can do a number of things, depending on what you draw, so use your imagination. Invoking should be done in latin. Good luck with that.
If the exorcist fail in their quest they will be handed over to the mercy of Lucifer for all of eternity.
Demons:
Those of you of demonic descent.
It is your job to prepare the world for Lucifer's arrival. Your only goal is to mess things up as much as you possibly can. This means you're the ones possessing people, spreading around sin. You don't want the return of God. Lucifer has granted you a spot in his army if you can stop the return. You like things this way, and you plan to keep them exactly as they are now.
There are also two types of Demons:
Summoners - those who call the demon forth. Summoners are the only ones who are able to call a demon to them willingly by process of a summoning ritual. They fight using the demons they summon, but they can only summon one demon at a time. They are also able to use a small margin of curse type black magic as well as protection magic.
Implanters - those who infect the body with the demon. They are the only ones with the power to seal demons, just like Vanquishers, but they are able to put the soul in people and animals. They fight using the people they have possessed, and can wield up to ten bodies at a time, but the bodies become weaker the more you wield at once, and are already weaker than a pure demon soul. They are also able to use a small margin of attack type black magic.
If the demons fail... well... try not to fail. There will be no mercy, or any relief in death.
Setting:
This is a modern storybook. It's 2015 at the start of the apocalypse. These are modern characters with normal 21-century lives, pre-apocalypse of course. Try to keep that in mind when writing them.
Our setting is post-apocalyptic America. The world is pretty much gone to shit now. Buildings have crumbled, communities have been disrupted, ash and debris and rubble everywhere. People mostly travel by foot as cars don't work anymore, neither do electronics. So it's as if this modern world was suddenly thrust back into medieval times. For the sake of convenience, this takes place in New York.
Profiles:
Please remember that all characters are still human once you take the powers given to them away. They have been humans all their lives, and are still human, just with the powers their respective lords have given them.
Keep in mind that Exorcists or Demons did not exactly ask for the bloodline they were born into. Maybe some could even be cheering for the other team...

Rules:
I want mature characters, guys. This SB is going to have mature themes. Try to put some real thought and effort into your profiles and posts. ^^
Please be considerate of others.
No God-Modding. If you are going to use someone else's person keep them in character.
Be active. SBs require teamwork and co-operation.
Profanity is allowed, and I assume you all know where to draw the line.
Have fun!
Be creative!
