In a land where nothing is ever as simple as black and white, the forces of light and shadow face a threat which could mean the destruction of both their worlds. The Sweepers have landed on the planet and they mean to eradicate all evil from its surface.
At first the forces of light rejoiced for the stench of evil had long displeased them and they sent their most wisest and enlightened leader to form alliance with the Sweepers. Except that their leader was imprisoned and two days later the message was returned that he had been exterminated for the past evils of his life.
The Sweepers swallowed cities and their inhabitants. By the second week of the invasion, they held four cities and many villagers and homesteads under their control. The inhabitants were one by one tested and most were eradicated on the spot. Less than one percent were taken back to the Sweeper's ships to be examined more closely and little is known of their fate.
Creatures of the night abandoned their homes and fled to the more rural areas of the continent, finding refuge in the deep forests and swamps of the land. They were joined by many ordinary citizens and even most priests abandoned their churches in favour of their lives. Those who remained behind to pray were mostly slain.
The council of light gathered once more and they agreed that few among them could claim to never have wrought an evil deed but they were still certain the Sweepers would be their salvation. Next they sent a girl child into the midst of the destruction and she was killed on sight for the Sweepers sensed that her potential for destruction was too great.
After this, one of the elders decided that they must fight. There was much disagreement across the council and a split was formed with elder Rhaegan leading his loyal few out into the world and calling to the fleeing citizens that if they stood with him, they would fight the darkness together. This is where our story begins.
The World
Technology is at a minimum with the likes of gunpowder only just moving into common use and electric lighting still a dream not yet achieved. The people are mostly human but a few creatures of the night threaten their existence and so the council of light was formed to combat them - an enlightened sect who transformed themselves by drinking the blood of an angel. What most do not know is that the first of their kind slew that angel to secure this transformation and that is why angels no longer walk the Earth.
The Characters
Please fill out the form below. When you have completed it, I will roll a die and tell you in the DT what your character's inner alliance is. If you are either righteous good or lawful good then the Sweepers will attempt to capture your character. Anything else and they will aim to kill your character as soon as they have been scanned.
The Sweepers carry strange items that shoot beams of light which scorch anything in their path. They are a slow but sturdy race who are humanoid and choose to cloak themselves in dark robes.
The open slots are as follows:
Creatures of the night

Alliances - Your outer alliance, the one you choose yourself, is how your character currently feels and acts. However their inner alliance is what they feel inside and they may be fighting this or moving toward it.

4 - Neutral good - They act mostly for themselves but will help others when it will not endanger themselves or their loved ones
5 - Neutral evil - They act for themselves and when threatened will respond with violence to defend themselves and their own
