❂ Rise and Fall || Angel/Demon RP {Accepting} ❂

[eden .]

Nathan woke from his hibernation in a muggy, humid room and a lazy fan puffing at the sticky air. He rose from his bed, throwing off the thin covers in a vain attempt to cool off. Dear Lord, it was hot in here. Desperate to escape the furnace, Nathan exited his apartment room and descended down the stairs, long since abandoned any hope for the dilapidated elevator that the building provided. He made a nice racket down the stairs before he arrived at the ground level, glancing around the city nervously. As a half-demon, he was often ostracized as a freak.

Understandable.

Nathan stepped off onto the sidewalk and meandered aimlessly throughout the city, searching for something to do. He just didn't want to be home.

Lilith grinned and said, "I didn't realize they had advanced so far as to learn human speech." Lilith's grin faded, however, as Kiro shut his eyes and went stiff. Was he going to try and influence the Angel? But it was an angel. Would that work? Frowning, Lilith kept one eye on her fellow Demon as she turned to the Angel, saying, "So, sir. What's your name? Or rather, your vessel's name."

Hopefully some chatter would distract the Angel for Kiro to influence him. If all else failed, Lilith supposed she might be able to talk him out of attacking them...but of course, Kiro was around. He would just have to plug his ears, then.

Faust couldn't help but feel a little unsure now.
Two demons -- and a human who looked a little angry to boot -- were facing him now. He hated showing weakness, but Faust took a step back, trying to keep them all in his sights. But, even if he was feeling a bit wary with only a human vessel to protect him, he managed another sneer, ogling at this 'Kiro'.

But Kiro, for some reason, seemed totally unconcerned, and only a moment later did Faust realized why. Maybe he was seeing things, maybe it didn't happen, but Kiro seemed to jump straight into him, straight through him. Faust grit his teeth against the sudden torrent of memories as they attacked him -- no, not him. Kiro. Kiro? What was this demon doing? He saw dinosaurs and hundreds of demons slaughtered at his hands, he was hatred and malice and things he had long since forgotten, things that were buried deep in the corners of his mind.

STAND DOWN.

This command his body gave him confused Faust -- why would he do that? It echoed around in his skull, overtaking him until the memories were gone and all that was left were the same two words, stand down, stand down, stand down. But Faust... he would never stand down, would he? That wasn't him. He was an angel. He never stood down. Faust stood, swaying slightly on his feet, a glazed look in his eyes as he fought with himself internally over what to do. His legs were shaking, like they were about to give out, but his shoulders were hunched, obviously stressed.

Slowly, his eyes turned to the other demon. Faust couldn't here her over the sound of his own command, but he was sure it was something very demon-y. And the only thing he was really sure of right now was that he hated demons. So he sneered. Or, rather, he tried.

But it was hard to focus on two things at once anymore. His lip twitched, but his body suddenly seemed to give out, and he fell forcefully onto his hands and knees, drawing a sharp gasp. No! What was he doing? This wasn't right, this wasn't fair, he would never fall in front of a demon. Demon. Demon, demon, demon. Kiro was a demon. Kiro was... where was Kiro? Faust groaned, holding his head in his hands as a major headache pounded against his temples. What was happening?

Naomi's head shot up as a loud bang announced a man's presence. He was... tall, to say the least. Tall enough to easily make her feel microscopic, sitting down or not. He offered a hand to her, warning her not to make things more painful than they had to be, and at that she laughed, curling her arms around her legs, drawing her knees to her chest again. It was not a nice laugh -- it was filled with malice and desperation and sadness, and it made her look as if she were on the verge of tears.

"Painful?" she repeated quietly, craning her neck to look up at him. "What could you possibly do to make any of this more painful?" She didn't know what or who this being was (he certainly wasn't human), but if he were threatening her with death, she would likely take it as a bargain. By the way he talked, by the things he said, Naomi guessed -- a demon? She'd never actually seen one before. Perhaps she had the briefest memories of her father when she was a baby, but his face was always blurred and the only thing she really remembered were his hands. A demon. Half of her. The half that had made her what she was, a terrible, loathsome creature. Suddenly, Naomi felt even less friendly.

[[ Okay, um, awful posts (although it looks like everyone's thinking like that), sorry, I'm busy. xD I wanted to write something... better... for Faust, but it'll have to do for now. ]]

Raven
She smiled maliciously. She could see how the demon controlled the angel and loved it. Raven took at first small and slow steps. But only started to get faster. She needed to see what would happen. Wanted this being to feel the pain and helplessness that she has been feeling now. The helplessness that took away her joy. Raven wanted them both to die.

Ragne sighed as he took a seat across from the young girl. He didn't know how to deal with a fragile half-demon. It was something he had never done. So he took in a deep breath and as said softly. "I am a demon, and I have told you my true name, I have come to help you, to take you to the under world and teach you of the second half of your life, and if you would trust me, I could show you what there is to be a demon. You need to learn of your other half." He said to her trying to be soft but his very dark voice was hard to keep soft, yet it was very persuasive, although this half-demon didn't appear to be affected in the slightest.

Ragne then set his hand softly on her arm hoping this was the kind of comfort humans wanted, he still didn't know how to console a human. He tried to find the best way to help this half-demon realize he really did want to help her.
((mine are crappy too... sorry!))

{ my character's finally finished, by the way. (: Addan -- my male demon character -- will come shortly xD }

{ . amara "kay" everwood.

gender: female.
status: observing.
species: half-angel.

❝i believe
everyone has
a story to tell.
it's just a matter
of whether or
not they get
to tell it.❞

Kay wasn't in a good mood. It was hot outside, and not just hot, but humid. Granted, she was able to keep a constant breeze swirling around her, but it still bothered her that the weather was so awful. Her eyes fluttered shut for a moment as she simply stood and listened, the light wind carrying faint snippets of conversation to her ear.

One wind in particular caught her attention and she pivoted on her heel towards the source of the noise, idly curious. A demon and angel stand-off was definitely not something she wanted to miss, and she knew Addan wouldn't mind if she were gone for a while. He was probably still asleep anyways -- she wasn't sure; she hadn't been back to the shed for a while now. Pulling the wind towards her so they wouldn't hear her moving, she shifted closer, blue eyes lightening with curiosity.

The angel was Faust, there was no doubt about it. Everyone knew him, although the fact that he was on his knees made her doubt her own observations for a moment. The demon ... she wracked her brain for what she had heard on the wind. His name was Kino. That's what the girl had called him. She bit her lip hesitantly, unsure of what the demon's abilities were, and uncomfortable with the fact that she didn't know. The possibility of him being a psychic was highly likely, and that made her even more nervous. It meant that he was more likely to notice her presence.

A frown turned the corners of her mouth downward and she ran her fingers through her hair in frustration. Curiosity really did kill the cat.

Naomi blinked, a bit shocked. He was going to take her to... to Hell? And teach her... how to be a demon. How to be what had, ultimately, destroyed her. He put a hand on her arm and she flinched, not necessarily because his touch burned liked fire (she was sure that was her imagination), but because nobody had actually touched her in years. They were all afraid to. She was dirty and filled with despair and broke down, babbling nonsense at random moments and crumpling on the floor. She was, naturally unwanted, untouchable, and ignored. It wasn't bad, just... new. Odd.

"I'm not the one you want," said Naomi quietly. It was a simple sentence, but there were a lot of because's behind it. Because I'm broken, Because I'm insane, Because I have no control, Because, Because, Because. Naomi was no longer looking at Ragne-- Damien-- whatever he was called-- but rather, his hand on her arm. It still burned. But Naomi had long since learned to stop screaming.

[[ Glad you're done Estia. (or, at least, halfway done) c: I'll post for Faust once Riliane & Allen does, seeing as how his reaction is mainly base on them. xD ]]

Kiro was fighting for breath, taking silent gaps at air. How his head hurt, how confusing everything was. He was seeing what Faust was seeung, hearing what the angel was, as well as what he himself was. It was being two people at once, both of whom were i different places, thinking different things. Never again. Kiro promised himself. If I survive this, I will never try to influence an angel again. For a moment Kiro thought he had lost, when the powerful force of Faust's mind, refusing to stand down, nearly broke his control. Finally, finally, when Kiro was finding it nearly impossible to fuigure out what his own identity was, the sneering angel crumbled to his knees. Kiro wanted to do the same, but releasing his hold right then would be fatal and he knew it.
Taking a long moment to figure out what legs were his and whivh were Faust's, Kiro made his own body slowly and shakily start towards Lilith, who he would prrobably need to beg to help him get out of there. When he was just a few feet away from here and a good bit further away from Faust, Kiro gave the angel one last message to fight with: stay down. It wouldn't be very effective given Kiro cut his connection with the angel's mind directly afterwards, save for hearing his thoughts which Kiro never could stop, but it was better then nothing. Immediatly the sweet relief of not knowing anything to do with Faust came, like a clear, fresh wave through his mind, washing away that confused hell. Barely catching himself from falling over, as surely both himself and Faust, though mostly the former, were exhausted from the ordeal.
"Lilith... help me get away from here. Making angels bow down... ain't easy." He forced into words, a triumphant but tired smile on his face.

Suddenly, everything stopped.
Faust let out a shuddering breath as Kiro released the control of the angel, so confident a few moments ago, now reduced to a trembling figure on the ground. He felt... he felt pain. He felt sick. Faust had never been sick. It was an awful feeling, one that made the big (invisible) wings on his back droop onto his shoulders. He was too tired to keep them upright. Faust stayed that way for a few long time (or, at least, long to him -- time was precious. It really only lasted a few seconds) before he remembered that he could heal. So he did. He healed quickly and he healed well. By the time he had stood up, Faust's eyes were blazing.

"You are insufferable," the angel snarled, stepping forward. He was going to crush this demon's skull across kick him to the ocean. His power returned, his hand suddenly lashed out, clasping onto Kiro's shoulder with crushing strength. "You're going to pay," he threatened, and squeezed, his intent to crush bone.

[[ Feel free to have Kiro wiggle out of that grip beforehand, I realize it's a little power-play-ish. ]]

~ Ragne'Uruvien (Damien) Hooley ~

Ragne let out a small smile at her, "Whether you like it or not, you are one of us, and you need to learn our customs. Please, I'm just asking for a little trust and this is the nicest you will ever see a demon."He said with a chuckle which unintentionally sounded a bit maniacal. You see laughing, is not something Ragne is accustom to in the slightest bit. It had been a very long while since he laughed.

Ragne looked at the half-demon and how tense she had become at his touch. Usually girls melted under his touch, but this one, she was very different. "I must admit I am no good with human ways, as you can tell, but please, it would be an honor to at least know your name?" Ragne tried his best to muster a small smile at her, and he wondered if she would call him by his demon or his human name. She guessed it would be his human name, seeing as most of her life was spent on Earth.

Male, 22, Single, Human:
With: No one

Jake had been separated from his group for a little over a week now and he wasn't sure if they were alive or not, he hoped that they were alive but the demons surprised them. He shook his head as he tried to get the memories out of his head of the all the blood and screaming the he saw and heard. "Please....." He whispered under his breath as he didn't want anyone to hear him, he had no idea why he said the word but all he knew was that he needed someone. He wasn't much of a thinker and he needed guidance since he was constantly second guessing himself, sure he was fast and strong but that could only get him so far and he knew it.
Jake looked around the ruined street making sure it was clear of demons and the like, he hated both demons and angels as they destroyed the world he loved. They took everything from him including his parents, "They should all die." He said under his breath angerly, he looked around once more before confirming that the way was clear.
He quickly sprinted to a building and hid once again, he wasn't going to take a chance of being caught or worse.... killed. "Oddly calm today." He said to himself, he realized that he needed someone that way he wouldn't be a crazy person talking to himself. But it was true it was an oddly calm day, he didn't even see the annoying short blonde haired angel girl. She had been following him for a while but not the last two weeks, he wondered if that why the demons attacked his group because there was no angel to protect them. The thought nearly sicked him, he didn't want to rely on a bloody angel for protection. Jake shook his head and looked around again wondering where everyone was.



Female, 21, Single, Angel
With: Faust, Kiro, Lilith, and who ever else is watching.


Brea had been tracking Faust for the past two weeks and she knew that she was getting close, how close she wasn't quite sure but she was close. She was hoping that Faust would accept her offer of her tagging along, since she had come across a powerful demon that nearly killed her. The ordeal left her feeling a little unsettled and she hated that feeling, no demon should ever make her feel that way. She knew that there was safety in numbers, well that was what she learned while tracking a group of humans a while back.
Brea rounded a corner of a fallen building to come across a sight of Faust on his knees, the sight shocked her but that was quickly lost to her sudden anger. She looked around the small clearing to see two demons, she gave a small hiss before sprinting to Faust's side.
She looked down at him for just a moment before he got up and went to kill the demon, a small smile played on her face as she watched. She would stay just in case he needed her. Though she was sure that he could hold his own at the moment, but the sight of him on his knees scared Brea as she had heard of Faust being vary powerful and not easy to subdue.He needs me as much as I need him. She thought as she walked a little closer, but she kept her distance just in case things exploded out of control.
