SISTER SITES

Heaven:  

Grace:
New to Heaven, Grace is naive and uncertain of her place in the Land of the Sun. Having no status to speak of, her life was very difficult until she met David, who took her under his wing. Grace is a very caring person, but she is also usually very hesitant to act. Passive and withdrawn, Grace will often look away from things that bother her rather than address them.

David:
David is generous, kind and loyal. That is, unless demons are involved. Being a Warrior of Light, he is uncompromising when it comes to wiping out the monsters of Hell. David is quick to act for what he believes is right, but slow to question authority. Blindly following the Laws of Heaven, he has convinced himself that the rulers of his world can do no wrong. That is, until they do something that even he cannot forgive...

Sister Sincerity:
Sister Sincerity is one of the oldest angels in Heaven. Exactly how high up she is in the ranks is unknown, but she's been there long enough that she could have any position of her choosing. Bubbly and charismatic, Sister Sincerity is everyone's friend. Her smiling face is well known and liked, almost to the point of worship in some circles, and she guides events around her with a subtle and competent hand. This prominent figure is known by a much different face for much different reasons in the land down below...

Mother Generosity:
The official Head of Heaven, Mother Generosity is a severe and threatening contrast to Sister Sincerity's carefree charm. Seeming to always have something better to do, Mother Generosity is not generous with much of anything, nor is she forgiving. If any of her subjects puts a single toe out of line, Mother Generosity will be quick to solve the problem...by throwing the transgressors the hell out of Heaven. Literally.

Hell:

 

Grey:

Once Grace embraces her demon form in Hell, she abandons all aspects of her former personality. Where Grace was hesitant, meek, and kind, Grey is impetuous, abrasive, and cruel. Reveling in her newfound power, she quickly rises to prominence in the Land of Stars and excess.

The black markings on her face, arms, and stomach are not tattoos. They are called "Demon Traits," markings that are a result of becoming a Meta. Other Demon Traits that she has are horns, bone wings, and the spikes along her forearms.

Grey's Demon/Meta Form:

Grey's Demon form, also called her Meta form, is what she shifts into for battle. The skin around her jaw is free flowing and can pull back away from her jaw to reveal her teeth and allow her mouth to open even further. She also has barbed claws, long curving horns, and razor-sharp bone wings.

Unlike Brand, Grey has embraced her demon form. As such, she has a high level of control and can easily manipulate her shape. For example, she can shape her fingers into claws or pull back the skin around her teeth while in non-meta/human form.

Brand:

Brand is Grey's mentor in Hell. Although he doesn't flaunt it, he's one of the best Angel Slayers in his corporation. This is because he does not rely on his demon form like most Slayers. Instead, he focuses on fighting techniques that use his human form to its best advantage. Brand is loyal to a fault and tends to put the world on his shoulders even if he doesn't deserve the guilt. He avoids addressing negatives and tries to always focus on positives at the expense of reality.

ID:

Id is Brand's inner demon. Think of him as a shoulder devil. One that occasionally possesses its host. He's a manifestation of any quality that Brand considers negative. Id is Brand's Anger, Lust, and Greed, repressed and congealed into a monster that grows more powerful with every passing day.

Brand's Demon/Meta Form:

Brand's demon form has an insatiable thirst for blood and carnage. When Brand goes Meta, he loses control of himself and goes on a rampage. He despises his demon form and always tries to suppress it. As a result, he has no control over it, and even the simplest of form manipulations are impossible for him.

Hans:

Hans was Brand's student before Grey came along. At first impetuous and self-important, he ignored Brand's teaching until he had a bad run-in with Racy and her Meta-mannor brood. Rescued by Brand, he was slowly nursed back to health. As time passed, he slowly began to realize he was falling in love with his mentor. Fearing rejection, he became reserved and self-destructive, seeking out angel after angel to vent his frustration. Eventually it got him killed. Yet now he has mysteriously returned from the grave, and this time he's not going to let fear hold him back from action.

Han's Demon form:

Most people do not realize that the demon David fights in the very beginning of Chapter One and the demon that David and Grace later kill is the same demon. And not just any demon, for that matter, but Hans in fact!

Racy:

Racy is the Manager of the Manor House Monopoly. She is the Queen of every brothel in Hell, specializing in Meta-pleasures. The slogan "Let me take you to Heaven's Door" is well known throughout Hell with a mixture of scandal and fear. Racy has a bit of an obsessive streak, and if any man or woman should escape her grasp she will pursue them until she can break them. Or die in the process.

Pain and Despair:

Two Pre-Meta's who became Grey's friends when she was still new to Hell. Pain (the one with pink hair) is bubbly and childlike, preferring to deal with Hell's excessive environment by acting as innocent as possible. Despair (purple hair) is her close friend. Despair still is trying to move on from her experiences in Heaven, holding a vehement grudge against the society that she lived in for so long.

Pain regards Despair as a sister in spirit if not by blood. Despair views their relationship rather differently, seeing Pain as a potential love interest. This is a point of discontent between them, and as such they generally avoid the issue. Content to only skim the surface of Hell's pleasures and pains, Pain and Despair are essentially still newbies in Hell's fast-paced environment.

Bells and Bows:

Bells (cat-boy) and Bows' (jack-a-lope-wolf) main claim to fame is they are one of the few survivors of the Manor-House-Massacre. Two partial Meta hookers, they are two loyal friends trying to eke out a living in a harsh environment. Neither having a good Meta-form for combat, Racy was quick to pick them up for the other kinds of appeal that their shapes would have to the right kind of customer.

Both are good-natured individuals, looking for fun and profit rather than the blood and power preferred by other members of Racy's brood. After the Manor-House Monopoly is broken, Bells (aka Tael) and Bows (aka Rae) start up a Nightclub and Brothel of their own called, (surprise surprise) "Bells and Bows."

Unknown:

 

Epoch:

Epoch is a mysterious figure that only David can see or hear. Little to nothing is known about this enigma.
