ok this is a little idea that's been going through my head for about a month. but it was only random parts until I wrote it down. It's been really thought out, and I hope you like it
here's my idea (warning, VERY detailed):
====Redemption====
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Year (before RP begins): 2012 (my grandma actually said something about a judgment day like event happening that year {fire based})
Story: Hell has finally broken through its gates and has spread onto earth. Seven towers have risen from below the earth's surface in the center of each continent (even Antarctica). These towers are corrupting innocent souls in the world (if there are any left) and are turning them into the damned (explained in enemy list), in order to strengthen their forces. Slowly their army grows stronger, and eventually their next target will be the gates of Heaven.
Despite the towers' corrupting powers, there are some souls with strong wills that are fortunate enough to have been immune to its effects. These souls have chosen to either go into hiding (NPCs that on occasion we may have to protect), or fight back (RP cast).
one year later: The strongest surviving rebels against Lucifer's command over earth decide to make one final push-back assault. Hopefully to send the army back down to the bowels of hell where they belong. But will they be able to do it before Lucifer becomes powerful enough to breach heaven's gates and overthrow god; permanently turning earth into a place of suffering (eternal hell).
======================================================
Enemies: there are many demons and corrupted souls roaming earth's surface, and are often found in swarms. however, they are not always in a diverse group, usually it's just one or two different types of enemies that cooperate with each other (regardless, they are controlled by a higher ranked demon/Damned soul to keep them from killing each other). here is the list of demons rated by how they are in battle. from easiest to hardest (if you fell one of them is stronger than one of the others let me know):
<The Damned> Souls that have been corrupted by the towers, they are like any human being when fighting (especially if they have martial arts knowledge). these enemies are easy to defeat, but they can be reverted back to their normal selves by destroying the tower. it is recommended that we refrain from killing any of them when we can.
-<Lesser demons> The weakest, and less rational of all demons. Basically the demon version of the creature that died and went to hell, just bigger {excluding human lesser demons}, and deadlier; they can come in many forms two legged, four legged, winged, or finned, but look alike; depending on which type it is. Even though they are weak, they have constantly random attacks. they run on pure instinct, so they do what their instincts tell them at the time (if they're hungry, they eat, if they're confronted by an enemy, they'll do everything in their power to kill it, etc...). the leader is the only strong and rational Lesser demon of the hoard. Best to try to kill these before they surround us.
-<Troll Demon> (inspired by Tetsuya): a powerful demon, but somewhat slow. They are capable of speaking sensibly (sorta), but cant speak with proper grammer. they often rely on huge clubs when fighting, but have been known to use their fists and feet if necessary. They can become enraged very easily, so avoid aggravating them if you can. when fighting one of these big lugs, you'll want to do it quickly and efficiently (DO NOT LET HIM LIVE OR HE'LL COME BACK WITH A VENGENCE). When they make a kill, they may devour the mutilated bodies to keep them from getting fatigued (those clubs, and wild swings at his targets are very tiring). It's often best to dodge their attacks, and wait for them to wear themselves out first before actually attacking.
-<Wendigo> basically, a wild beast (imagine the wendigo from the marvel comics). They are very territorial, and will chase an intruder endlessly until it or its target is dead. they are relentless, and are incapable of wearing out, so kill them fast! After cutting it up a bit, wait for it to get close and deliver a finishing blow (a risky move, but it's the only recently known way of killing a Wendigo).
-<Cubi> Shapeshifting demons that seduce their victims before killing them. Their true form is a male or female of great beauty with batwings on both its back, and head. they are capable of using the elements to attack their enemies if discovered. They can enter the dreams of their victims while they sleep, and can read their minds while awake (this version of the Cubi are credited to the DMFA Webcomic; if necessary). These demons are very tricky to kill. their seductive ways and the fact that they can read minds makes it hard to make your actions discrete. if you can find a way to kill it, then use it.
-<Raging Demon> Ruthless demons that have no mercy for their victims. They are incredibly fast, and very strong. Often seen wearing blood red steel armor, they are deadly with a glaive. It takes a lot of skill with a weapon to kill these enemies, so if you arent very good with a blade......RUN!!!
-<Behemoths> four legged demons (a quadruped) these things are ENORMOUS, they are black with red patterns on their bodies, and have red eyes. the horns on their heads can summon lightning from the sky if they arent killed quick enough (which is very hard to do). They are slow, so it's easy to deliver strong blows, but they have a thick hide, making them very hard to be severely injured. It is nearly impossible to kill one of these things alone, so finding them in hoards is suicide if a strategy isn't planned, or if you aren't prepared for the coming battle. if you value your life, avoid confronting these monsters whenever possible.
-<Legion> An ancient and powerful demon (technically). he is a compilation of thousands of different demons possessing two men. Legion has absolute command over all of the demons should the leader of those demons fail to complete orders given to them by Lucifer. Because of his immense power, Legion answers to no one but the devil himself.
=====================================================
Elite Demon Leaders: Hell's army needs some authority to keep it from becoming nothing but random chaos, and that comes in the form of the seven elite leaders. Seven demons/damned are chosen from their respective species to lead their kind and to control different parts of the army. They are given specific titles due to how they behave in or out of battle. The leaders will be listed from strongest to weakest:
-Pride (Behemoth): Known for his overconfidence, he believes that he can defeat anyone (even Legion). he is the military leader and controls the behemoths
-Wrath (Damned/Raging Demon): Known for his stealth, and ruthlessness in battle. He is the leader of the assassin division and controls the Damned and Raging Demons
-Lust (cubi): Seduces it's victims before killing them, he/she is the strongest and most clever of the Cubi. The leader of the spy division, he/she controls the cubi.
-Greed (Wendigo): Takes "souvenirs" from his victims; in or out of battle. He has no military command, but controls the Wendigo.
-Gluttony (Troll): Devours his victims, even when he doesn't need the energy. he has no military command, but controls the Troll Demons.
-Envy (lesser Demon): Kills anything that thinks ill-fully of him (or if his jealousy gets the better of him). He is the army's strategist, and controls the Lesser demons.
-Sloth (Belphegor {individual demon}): He is an individual demon, so he has no control over any specific type. However, because of his laziness, he has a tendency to get others to do his dirty work for him. He is the army's inventor.
=====================================================
Archangels & Archdemons: these are the main warriors in the RP (they are NPCs) they are the most skilled of their kind and are given special "skills" that they can use in battle (their powers are identical and equal in power) most notably the ability to transfer from one place to another within seconds. the powers are all concentrated through the users left hand. Both auras take a toll on the body, making them weaker after they stop using them.
powersA.A.<Angel Wing> Can send a crescent blade of light energy at their enemies from the users left hand. the angle of the blade depends on the angle that the arm is swung.
<Angel Fist> Using the power of light, the user can make the force of his/her left hand from a punch more powerful.
<Redeemer> The user can create a blade resembling a sword of their choice from the light aura from their hand (no matter what the blade looks like there will always be a Celtic cross shaped hand-guard attached to show its a creation of the heavens) . If broken the blade can regenerate itself through the users will. In some cases (it has been noted that the user can alter the formation of the aura to make a bow, this has only been seen in the use of an Archangel's power, never from an Archdemon). This weapon disables all use of Angel Wing until called back.
<Light Transfer> makes the user able to transfer from area to area. the greater the distance, the greater the damage once the power is withdrawn
A.D.<Demon Wind> Similar to Angel Wing but the blade is black.
<Demon Fist> Similar to Angel Fist but uses the power of darkness
<Cursed Soul> The user can create a red-bladed sword with a pentagram hand guard (to mark it as a tool from hell), resembling a mix between a scimitar and a katana, the tip slightly hooked like a fang (this blade can't be altered). in some cases the user can alter the form of the aura to make a Revolver that fires off a limitless supply of dark bullets (this is the demonic equivalent to the Redeemer Bow).
<Dark Transfer> equal to the angel's Light Transfer
the aura of light is usually a pale golden color, but some users have been able to achieve another level to this power that has a pure white aura to it. The same is said for the aura of darkness. originally it is a black color, but the second level reveals a dark red aura. Unlike the first stage, these auras have no price to using its abilities (in other words, there is no side effects). This power is extremely hard to obtain, but once unlocked, it almost guarantees the user a victory.
Normally these powers are reserved for only angels or demons, but there have been some cases where skilled mortals have been granted these powers in a desperate act to keep the balance of both sides.

Well there's my idea, I hope there isn't too much detail (I'm a very detailed person if you haven't guessed by now). Tell me what you think, and please be honest.
