The world is full of suffering… pain and sorrow reign supreme as the world crumbles beneath the weight of 20 billion people… the Angel of Death has disappeared, leading to people living longer than 150 years… supposedly by the miracles of modern medicine, before their body gives out. Still they linger on and no attempt to kill works… and then an idea forms in the minds of some of the poorest of the poor… eat them… As food and water becomes scarcer some revert to cannibalism and discover something… in the absence of Death… they are absorbing not only nutrients from the bodies they consume, but the life essence of the dead as well. They become stronger, faster, and considerably smarter than they once were. Some that conceive bear children with hideous growths, wings, protruding from their backs… other children have highly developed senses. Still more have the ability to morph into different beasts and some are born with a horrible blood mutation that requires blood to survive, becoming, in essence, vampires though they are still basically human. The majority, though, die at birth or before.  This birthing goes on for 50 years… and now it is the children who survive… all of their parents gone… nobody over the age of 30 survives… in fifty years the world has diminished itself from 20 billion to 20,000 scattered throughout the world… And now the Angel of Death has returned… and is faced with the daunting task of destroying the remaining twenty thousand. This would not seem so daunting but that, for his extended absence, Death himself has been descended to mortality. He still retains his abilities… but he must find a way to destroy all traces of life so that the world can be remade… but not all of the demonic “superhumans” are demonic at all… some are quite benign, and even friendly… willing to help him hunt those who search for greater power in exchange for their own clemency…

He had been away for a long time... As he returned, the Angel noticed that nothing looked the same... even the greenery looked terribly ill... The ocean had shrunk in on itself, and the whole world seemed to be dead or dying... This is what the Angel saw as he descended. As he drew close, he realized that nothing was really what it seemed. Everything was not only dead or dying... but people were gone... the spirits that he sensed roaming the world were no longer the spirits of humans as he'd known them. What's happened here? He asked as floated down through the sky. Suddenly two other angels appeared beside him and fell to the ground with him... Michael Onyxys he recognized. The warrior angel was legendary even in the human world where so little of their own was known. The other wasn't.
"You have been gone a long time, Death." Michael said, his voice oozing power and restraint. "You see what has become of the world in your absense. This is not what should have been... and now, it is up to you to fix it. Those who were once human now are not. Some have become similar even to the Lycans and Vampires of human myth. They have become demons in their own right, but have no master. You will destroy them... every one of them... and contain their spirits within your blade. Once every one of the beasts is contained, HE will use their power to recreate this planet and give them another chance."
"Got it." Death said quickly. It shouldn't be too much of a problem considering they couldn't see him or feel him approaching and even if they could he was immortal.
"Oh... and for your insolent leave of absense... you will walk among them, retaining your wings, but in a humanly form. You have been hereby cut off from the Angelic World. You enter this new one with a new name... Anthony Daemon... to remind you of what you once were and what you must do. Complete the task and your status will be reinstated. Fail, and the world will be consumed."
"No..." The Angel of Death whispered.... No longer an Angel? What have I done?
"Begin your task... Anthony, for the demonic humans approach and are drawn to your spirit." Michael and the other one who hadn't spoken were gone. Vanished as if they had never been. The Angel of... no... Anthony, was broken... what would he do? What could he do but destroy what was left of this race he had done so much for? He lifted his head, a look of steely determination in his eyes. He would do whatever he had to. He suddenly felt himself to be falling, and he looked forward to realize that he was falling to earth. The air around him grew hotter and hotter until he was a blazing ball of fire, hurtling towards the earth. As he neared the ground, the fire suddenly seemed to shatter and enormous waves of energy, both light and dark energy shot forth as he hit the ground, his immortality being jettisoned from his body. He brushed himself off and stood up, dusting himself off. He had not been hurt in the fall... not physically anyway. But it signified the end of his immortality, something that he was not likely to get back soon.
((BTW, I don't expect posts to be this long... this was just to basically stage everything... ))

 Within the dark recesses of a ruined city, a single light began to shine as Death made his decent. The source of this light was a single monitor, somehow active despite lack of maintenance or use. It scrolled through millions of lines of text in a few seconds, and something growled to life deep within the complex. Lights, panels and even doors suddenly sprung to life as the emergency geothermal generator screeched to life, breathing life back into the old ruins. Several of the lights burned out or burst due to extreme age, but enough stayed on to illuminate the complex's name: AltLife Weapons Development, Android division. The monitor again began displaying text, and a prompt appeared. [Activate Bio-Android Prototype, codename: Wraith Y/N?] Nothing happened for several minutes, then the screen seemed to to stutter and warp, revealing the shadow of a face as it crossed the screen. As soon as the face vanished, the computer indicated it had received a "yes" response to it's query, and the entire building seemed to hum in anticipation. There was a grinding noise, and a damaged blast door slowly inched open, until slag protrusions from a gaping hole halted it's progress. Deep inside, a scream could be heard, as Maya bolted upright, as if waking from a nightmare. "Dallas you b*****d! I'll kill you for this!" she screamed reflexively, falling out of the maintenance pod onto the floor with a crash. "Ugh, when did they raise the beds? Oooh, I feel weird, musta been all the drinks that cheap b*****d made me pay for." she mumbled, gripping her head with her four fingered hand. As her mind adjusted to being awake, she slowly opened her eyes, blinked a few times, and screamed in horror. Somehow, someway, she was trapped inside the weapons system. "This isn't happening. It has to be a dream. What the hell is going on with me?"As if in response to her question, a small energy panel the size of a sheet of paper materialized in front of her. She looked at it warily until she realized it was an information "Slice". Part of the Nano-Server contained in her body. She grabbed it and separated it into several parts, each containing more information. One held the video log, and she tapped it. It quickly started playing the last recorded security log, from her point of view. Maya gasped and put her hands over her mouth as she watched herself put the neural imprinting helmet on. "That's right, we were working on the final neural sequencing scan for the..... Me." She said after a moment of hesitation. The video resumed as she looked at it again. She spotted several of her coworkers in the other booth, messing with the controls like normal. The audio seemed to turn itself up, and she could hear them talking in the booth. "Are you sure about this Dallas? *&^$*@! will be pissed, and with that kind of weaponry, she could kill all of us. The tech cautioned Dallas. "I don't give a damn about that stupid combat nerd, this project has to work, or the government will cut our funding. The safeties are still in place if she's mad, we can shut her down, and declare it a success. Do it. Now.The technician she didn't know, but Dallas' voice was plain as day. She was heavily confused by the fact that her name had been nothing but a mess of static, but she continued to watch the record instead. As the computer completed it's sequence, there was a surge of electricity arcing across the leads to the imprint scanning helmet. Her former body jerked and convulsed, falling to the floor. Maya's hands again covered her mouth in horror as she watched the surge become so powerful it actually killed her, and incinerated her body. Dallas simply laughed at the result of his work, waving his hand in front of her eyes. The video jerked as the android moved it's head. "Oh my god, I was watching myself die, and didn't even know it until he did that....." Most of what was said was garbled and swearing, but it cleared up when the technician walked into the room with a remote, his finger poised over a button. Dallas tried to take it from the tech, but the button was pressed during the struggle. Immediately Maya sprang to her feet and screamed at Dallas, firing a massive energy blast. The blast hit the helpless man square in the chest, but he was wearing some kind of shield. She was going to fire again, but he pushed another button on that remote, and she fell to the ground, paralyzed. Dallas smiled and pushed another button. The log indicated she lost consciousness at that point, but the energy she had readied was released, and this time it broke the shield, killing Dallas and punching a hole through the lab blast door. "Oh god, Dallas is dead! What the hell are we supposed to do now!? he screamed to the other techs in the booth. One of them took the remote from him and set a series of commands into place, then he crushed the remote. They all carefully picked her up and put her in the maintenance bed, where the words "memory reformat commencing" flashed a few times, before everything went dark and the record ended. Maya looked over at where the neural scanning unit had been, and was shocked to find her body was still there! Not much remained, but her necklace was still around her neck. She carefully pulled the burnt and rotted cables off of the helmet, and pulled the necklace off of the corpse's neck. "Guess that's not me anymore. I don't even remember my name. Whatever they did must be why I'm not losing my mind right now." she said to herself. Her musings were interrupted by her sensors showing her a massive energy spike not far from her current location. Without even thinking about it, she picked up her sword off the bed, ducked under the damaged door, and left the facility without a backwards glance. Several minutes of running later, she arrived at the source of the energy pulse, only to find a man standing there, looking like he had lost something he had never been without before. Feeling a bit gutsy, since she was already technically dead, she walked into the clearing and and called to him. "Hey stranger. Did you see anything happen her in the last few minutes?" she asked, kicking herself for not having a better greeting. Her hand flexed a bit as a large studded plate slid out of her gauntlet. The plate was adorned with five large round knodules. 'Knuckle bombs? When did those nerds add these?'

 KassieAnn Edwards Kassie walked calmly through the building that was mostly made out of ruble. Now a days, everything was ruble really and there wasn't much left of this city. She kept her mind open so she could pick up on slight waves of the mind and processes of thought so she could tell what kind of individuals were around her and tell what they had in store for whatever it was that they were doing and whatever they were up to she'd have an upper hand over them. Her steps were near silent, the only sound really made was the ruble shifting under her boots as she stepped. Her long, leather trench coat kept her body concealed and safe from pieces of falling ruble or an attack she didn't see coming. Different parts of the coat held sections of chainmail to make it hard to pierce through and harm her, but her added strength made it easy to walk as easy as she was and not be weighed down by the coat.
She felt the sudden burst of energy and it caused her to sway at the massive amount of energy and she put her hand against one of the pillars of the building. She'd wondered to the entrance of the large building, it'd once been a bank or something of the sort. She stood there, her intense icy eyes peering out and she saw a body running towards the energy pulse and she decided to follow, she kept more to the shadows as to not be spotted, she didn't know who this individual was or what they were incapable of.
After several moments of followed the individual she saw a man standing there. It had to have been him who had caused the large pulse of energy. She watched the individual, which she now saw as another woman, greet the man and her icy cold eyes stayed on the man as she stayed an on looker for now.

James walked down the street looking under piles of rubble for survivors from that last demon attack. "You would think that demons would have learned to stay out of this district after they learned i have slaughtered so many of them". He wiped the dirt off a boys face to make sure he was dead and then kept walking.

Anthony faced the thing as he sensed it's approach, his hand flying out as the sythe on his back seemed to jump into his hand. It looked to be a robot, but held a soul as though it were alive. "I know not what you speak of. How you have survived so long in such a ravaged world is beyond me, but clearly there is something more about you. What are you, anyway?" He asked as he peered curiously though narrowed eyes at this hybrid, more unique than he had ever considered.

She had returned to her hometown only to find it had been demolished, like many others. One by one small villages were being ravaged by the power hungry demons. There was little left of the people she had grown quite fond of. Ketsai kicked up rubble in frustration, a child`s doll flying with some of the rock fragments she kicked up. Behind her a small demon was approaching quickly, jumping onto her back in attempts to take her life. Instinct caused her to grab it fiercely from her back, slamming it into the ground and decapitating it with a single swipe of her wristblade.
Her attention soon shifted to the direction of the odd feeling in her gut. Something very powerful had arrived nearby. Curiousity getting the best of her she bolted in the direction it came from. Once close she hid behind ruins of a what used to be someones home and watched from afar. Something was approaching it, this would help her determine it`s intentions.

Maya's eyes darted to the vicious weapon as it snapped to the man's hand. The overlay of energy she could see coming from the man was massive, and ancient beyond measure. The scythe however, worried her even more, it showed nothing. A hole in the world where the blade should have been.
She snapped back to the situation at hand when he said he hadn't seen anything. A quick scan revealed that he was lying. The energy that had been emitted matched his own almost perfectly. She decided to let the matter drop. His question took her by surprise however, and she was at a loss.
"I survived by being lock down in some lab. I don't know how long for though. As for what I am, I wish I had an answer, but I don't really know. I think I was part of a team that built this body, and one of the team trapped me in here. I think I killed him, and then I was shut down, and my memories erased." she replied with a shrug.
If this man attacked, she only hoped she was half as fast as the specs indicated she was supposed to be. She had a feeling she would need it to just stay away from that horrible blade.
[Warning, multiple bioforms approaching.] her sensors had come alive with information as they said this. Not much information was given, but their location was provided. 'Great, I just walked into an ambush. I'm not sticking around to get the crap kicked out of me.' she thought to herself grimly.
Maya looked directly at one of the hiding people, (Kassie) opened her hands, and fired a shock wave into the ground. The blast didn't do any real damage, but it did kick up a massive amount of dust around her, obscuring her from sight. She used this to duck into a building away from her perceived ambushers, and make a run for it.

Anthony saw the robot thing turn around suddenly and then shoot the ground. Thinking it was likely some kind of shockwave mechanism, he bolted away from the blast in the opposite direction from it, but slowly became aware of other presences around them. Whatever that thing was, it seemed to show no ill will towards him yet, though that didn't mean that it wasn't just able to hold down its power-cravings. He jumped into the air, using his massive wings to get higher and higher as his blade seemed to float above him, spinning slowly as he rose. He sensed two presences, one close by and several more approaching, one much slower than the others. Two twin souled creatures were flanking the hiding one (Ketsai). Anthony took the opportunity to take out three enemies at once and reached a hand up, catching his blade and bringing it down across his body, and then brought it back up in the opposite direction. Two enormous blades of dark energy leaped from his sythe and sped towards the three, expanding in all directions so that what started out as an X quickly became a singular circle of energy as it neared. Any being it killed would have it's soul instantly trapped in his blade.
((btw, the two beings flanking Ketsai are just normal dark creatures actually getting ready to attack her... but she is at the center of the attack because he just sees three in an assault formation instead of two in a split formation... *o*))
