Survivors:

Ailas

Equia- able to use limited offensive and defensive magic, and they aren't to the highest caliber that would be the most suitable for surviving. (Basically Dusekkar)

Gabriel

Katherine

Helen- it isn't a clear idea, but it works similar to Xander except with flowers as the method of mainly support, no offense

Roman

Oliver

Ronan

Micheal

Jay

Xander- able to throw potions that poison/harm the killers, and throw potions that buff survivors. (It would be funny to say that it's random and unknown. Hey, it's like gambling!)

Luke- his wing spell gives him the advantage during chases, and is silent. Perfect for ambushes to stun

Cassandra

Karl- he's able to regenerate his health thanks to DETERMINATION

Aiden

Seth- once enough damage has been inflicted, the kid enters a special phase wherein they've been taken over by the Gods in the moment of anguish (Thinking about TSC from AvA)

Reonix- is able to revive after being killed once, but the second life has some disadvantages to it.

Hunter

Zav- his curse comes into handy here because the ability is to use his voice to stun/pushback the killer in dangerous situations

Killers (Which I've thought more about):

Estarossa- I don't have much but something with nullification

Kiora- its able to control the (mainly) battlefield using pen, paper and their imagination. However, they have a limited amount of paper to how many times they can change the battlefield.

SoSo- upon killing someone, they're able to copy the perks and abilities the killed survivor had to use against the others. It stacks too.

Blake- aside from their main weapon (the sniper), he's able to lay down some suspicious substances that'll trip up survivors. He's able to be affected by it as well in the same way as them.

Dice- before each fight/chase between him and survivors, a coin flip is done. The coin flip determines who will gain a buff from the kerfluffle, so it isn't one sided. Basically gambling.

Dollie- I also don't have much but something about string and manipulation

Elas- he's able to corrupt survivors' health to be poisoned and slowly kill them, or their abilities to be completely unusable

Insanity/Mind Crab- the demon of insanity, able to drive a survivor mad, causing them to kill the others. It can only affect one survivor, who gets buffed, each round.

Mark/The Dark Lord- he's able to regenerate but unlike his counterparts where it comes naturally, he's able to life-steal. Meaning the more damage he does, that's how much he gains for HP.

Navaxan- upon killing someone, he can resurrect the people he's killed to make them into his lackeys, like what he did before. And the nerfs to necromancy aren't there as much anymore.

The Mimic/Deception- the demon of deception, able to copy anyone's appearance to fool them. Not just appearance but memory, personality, everything about them just to deceive.

You can already see that most of my personas are on the killer side, with only two of them being survivors. Wow. I'm crazy.

Demons do not feel remorse. They don't quite frankly care about anything. They are monsters. They do anything to entertain themselves. Most of the time it end up being a disaster to humanity.

Think of them as the ones from Frieren. They deceive and trick only for them. They lie. They aren't to be trusted. It's all a ploy. They work similar to them.

Demons only exist for one thing: to bring destruction. Even if they aren't aware of it, they end up doing it. Even if they want to do good, or search for it, they end up doing it. It's in their nature as beasts and creations coming from their creator God.

Most demons just accept it and treat it like a job, some don't even know and think it's all just a game, others may try fighting back. In the end it's futile because this is what they we made for.

Demons are concepts of Chaos that exist around the world. Concepts personified, and spread it around. They have full control over it, and can influence anyone forcefully. But if they die, the concept doesn't go away. It still exists since it's part of Chaos, it's just that they can't force influence it.

In the beginning, there were few demons that were born during the early stages of humanity. These were known as "First Demons". Because of that, they end up being the strongest amongst them all in the ranks. Said strongest are known as "Greater Demons". By strongest it means their influence over humanity, and yes the ENERGY they posses.

Other demons (who later popped up as more chaotic concepts were formed) can be Greater ones if their influence on humanity is great. Do you get me? If the influence is great, then the more people who suffer from it, the more power they gain since it kinda acts like food or an amplifier. Shows as well how strong their concept is. Something like that.

Demons can take up many mantles, but they stick with one that works or find effective in feeding.

Those who lack in power or in food end up going to Greater Demons and being a part of them, or a branch of their concept. For example: the Demon of Wrath has many things tied to it like war and hate, those two things end up being demons who work under the main demon. They do it so in the end, those demons can get power and food the more people fall under wrath's and their influence. Again, it's a bit difficult to understand so I hope you get me in a way.

Luckily this is just an exploration of concepts.

Demons, mostly the greater ones, are able to make other demons. Those demons become an archetype or something. Things to help spread more than demons who work or make a pact with Greater ones. Wow, I'm not making sense. But imagine this: the Demon of Lust creating Succubi and Incubi. Or the Demon of Deception creating changelings.

The main point is, Greater Demons, thanks to their power, can make their own demonic race.

There are three generations to my characters: catalyst, fire, and onix. Each, respectively, represents the past, present and future. I won't fully go into detail of who's who, I'll just focus on the main idea here.

The first to enter the suffering is the catalyst gen. There's some emotions here and there, considering someone who "died" or those who have "died" were alive again here. It's very emotional. The second to enter was the fire gen who also had tearful reunions since those were their parents. All except maybe one or two out of... past.. issues. The third to enter was the onix gen, not really understanding what was happening much. Except there was a... you could say tearful reunion of creator and creation.

Now, there are three people or four that I'll focus from each gen. Ronan and Helen (catalyst), Karl (fire), and Reonix (onix). This is, by all means, the timeline of the Firewing family. Ronan and Helen gave way to Mark, Mark later on gave way to Karl, and Karl gave way to Reonix. Note that Reonix isn't really a biological or real person, more so of a projection or hard formation of Renegy. Think of a hologram that's real, but still isn't. That's the boy.

During the meet up, when no rounds were happening, everyone was getting to know each other. Mostly the Past and Future. The Present was a medium for them to get along. And here's where the funny begins (before the angst):

It's a canon that Karl died, via using his own life force, to make Reonix. That still technically makes Reonix his son even if there was no conception. More or less I don't think a dead guy can... you know. So the boy is an unofficial child and therefore grandchild.

Karl was taught by his father, a very long time ago that will come back, never, ever, have sex before marriage. Or sex... at all until it's an approved and recognized relationship. It's not a bad teaching. Very good actually. But in this context... where the past knew nothing of the present and their actions... this lesson might as well have been seen as "chucked in the trash."

In short: Ronan and Helen don't know that Karl's a 'special class' of undead after the civil war, therefore cannot (anymore) have an actual kid. Later down in life, Karl used his own life force to make Reonix who he saw as himself, but different. You know, like a child. And likewise, Reonix saw Karl as a father... that... never existed because he was dead by that point. And this was NEVER explained by Karl properly because he didn't know how to. Which gave way to this idea I had came up with earlier (dialogue):

Ronan: BOY WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE! WHO'S THE WOMAN.

Karl: I DIDN'T. EVEN. DO. SEX. AND THERE'S NO WOMAN.

Ronan: THEN EXPLAIN THE FUCKING CHILD YOU HAVE!

Karl: I DON'T KNOW HOW!

Ronan: YOU'RE NOT MAKING YOUR CASE EASIER HERE BOY.

Karl: JUST KNOW, I DIDN'T DO ANY SEX- I CAN'T EVEN ANYMORE

Ronan: FUCK YOU MEAN 'ANYMORE'!? DID YOU ALREADY DO IT BEFORE?

Karl: NO!

*very loud and audible arguing about sex, pre-marital sex, and the child that is Reonix*

Luke: Wow. And I thought our arguments were bad. This... is surprisingly worse. And uncomfortable.

Micheal: Damn, it is if you're the one admitting that.

Cass: Should we... should we explain it instead? I mean we all know the truth- Miss Equia is here to-

Xander: NOONONONONONONO- No. This is gold. Do not let it end just yet. Would it be even better if they were putting knives to their throats or nah?

Aiden: Xander. I will put a knife to your throat if you don't stop.

Jay: Alright calm down you two.

***

Oliver: ...do we even do anything at this point? They're pretty heated right now.

Gabriel: If you want to get in the cross fire, go for it. When is comes to fight like these in the family, it's best to let it run its course. Especially when it's these two... finally.

Katherine: After all these years as well. Looks like being someone different helped him fight back.

Roman: Though, hopefully it won't result in Ronan's... second death.

***

Ailas: Equia, what's going on over there- who are these people? How do you know them? What happened?

Equia: I'll explain everything in due time. Just... not now. Not... now.

***

Zav: ... (he's mute because of the curse, luckily it's good in combat)

Hunter: How long is this squabbling going to last. Kid, you alright?

Reonix: Yeah? I mean I don't understand what's going on... are they talking about me?

Hunter: Unfortunately. And they're doing so with much passion.

Helen: Oh my, they truly are getting rowdy there. I do hope they don't hurt themselves... Anyhow, you must be Karl's child. Lovely to meet you, my name's Helen. I didn't expect a grandchild already, and you're already the sweetest thing I've seen!

Reonix: Thanks :DD

Midnight Scouts (Run by: Ivyrinth Empire, District 3) >compared to the daylight scouts, these type of scouts are sent out to collect information relating to corruption, scandals, and the like >in a sense, they are like spies; daylight scouts, if anything, are only collecting information about terrains, plants, medicine and more. They don't concern themselves with anything other than the norm >these type of scouts might as well be akin to investigative journalists and like them, it's a risky job

Assassin's Guild (Run by: Some Midnight Scouts and Nobles) >there's an even deeper group within the midnight scouts that not only collect information, but, on occasion are hired to kill; they are not mercenaries. This isn't known to the government >it isn't just within the Empire but around the world, these underground guilds were made for nobles to kill their rivals; nobles are the ones giving the things they need (e.g. a secret building and funds for equipment) >there's only a few countries that have official recognized public guilds, everything else is underground; gotta make a living somehow in this political world 😔✌

Gambling Ring (Run by: Unknown) >gambling is actually severely illegal and any casino or ring are put into investigation, and those running them are thrown into prison >someone made an underground ring which advertises gambling, and free for everyone; the ring has it's own rules in which whatever/anything goes- including cheating, however you must not get caught in the act; it also has it's own system and ranks to keep everything flowing >it's unknown how a person can enter because no one has ever really seen it, it just happens to be there when one needs it; in this way it has never been found by authorities

Holy Order (Run by: All Churches, those in the highest position) >an underground order made by all churches to hunt down demons; the people who are apart of this are known as "exorcists" >exorcists have their own ranks, systems, and more; they may be run by the churches but they are completely independent from them >the order is special because those working for it gain an even greater 'blessing' from the ethereal angels and/or gods, more than the priest and such because of the difference in their jobs
