Seems you survived the Rapture, first Congradulations! Secondly, good luck surviving the demons and angels that roam the earth that want to tear you to shreds.

Backstory

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

May 22nd, a day most people disregarded as an actual "Apocalypse". People laughed and dismissed it as just
a hoax. Unfortunately at 6 pm EST on May 22nd the apocalypse did in fact happen. Millions of people just
dissapeared, people of all religions. As the confused masses walked outside to see their friends or family gone
in a blink of an eye.

Then large ruptures in the ground started appearing in all cities across the world. Nothing happened at first,
then a loud piercing scream could be heard for miles. Hellish creatures started pouring out devouring humans whole, they
would literally suck the life out of them leaving them as a hollow husk of a human.

Things got really bad when what some people called "Angels" appeared, celestial looking humans with wings.
Many people thought they were sent to save us, they were wrong. They started killing humans, deeming them
"Corrupted" by the demon's.

After a few months people started to pledge themselves to either the demons or the angels. The ones who pledged
their lives to the Angels actually became more like them. They gained bird like wings, and became extremely
agile. They are sworn to kill any demons, but they still retain what keeps them human.

Then some crazy idiots started pledging themselves to the Demons, they sprouted horns from their heads and
gained an evil aurora around them. They would generally cause chaos, killing any "Goody-two Shoes" humans,
oddly enough they retained some of their humanity.

They eventually got fed up with the commands from both ends they were getting. They broke off
from both sides and formed their own groups, the demons called themselves the "Corrupted" while the angel
pledged ones called themselves the "Celestial".

A few more months of chaos and the Corrupted and the Celestial generally hate eachother, the demons and angels
still roam the earth killing everyone.

Rumors have started popping up that there was a large military group that used to be the U.S. army have
secured a large area of Washington D.C. and are rebuilding. Other rumors state that a cult of humans control
former San Fransisco and are sacrificing people in the name of their new god.

Whatever you decide to do, its going to be extremely difficult to survive the rapture.

Groups

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Celestials- The Celestials are a group of former Angel Pledged humans, they broke off all relations
from the actual Angels. They have large bird-like wings, and are extremely agile.

The Corrupt- A group of semi-crazy half demons. They vary, from having bat like wings to large demon horns.
One thing they do have in common is they love to devour souls every now and then.

Survivors- Humans that either had no religion or sinned alot in their lives. Not many remain but they are
a hardy group of people. They're generally neutral to the Celestials and the Corrupt.

I will give it a try I guess. Will it be a completely open thing, you will you be guiding it?

It doesn't exactely have a planned story, the cultists and the army are two possible plotlines. Or you guys can make up your own if you want.

Its a different story, but expect it taking alot of ideas from it.

((A few questions..

Basically in skills you put what your character has experience in doing. And this setting is basically another apocalypse setting, imagine a zombie movie but instead of zombies there are demons and angels that want to kill you. Also imagine Celestials and Corrupted as humans, but influenced by either side. So basically you couldn't be a Celestial with a sword of everburning fire, the actual angels might have them, but you don't. But isn' t an angel with a shotgun way cooler?
