The city of Sin
Angels
Demons
The Game
The Prize
In the scorching North American Desert lays a city, in a spot devoid of any life, of any natural resource, nothing that would make life worth living there... But yet the city lives and thrives, sustaining itself on Sin, the city's entire existence a testimony of Man's greatest flaws. The cheat, they gamble, they whore, they envy, they indulge in hedonistic lifestyles. Envy, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth, Pride, they all fester and flourish in the city of Las Vegas, sustaining the city as it grows year by year, attracting even greater numbers of Sinners. Too long did this festering pile of Sin and human decadence go unnoticed by the forces beyond but now not even God can turn a blind eye to it anymore, no longer able to keep the demons at bay who wanted to devour the city since the day Sin took its throne there. And so it was that once again after so many hundred years a pact was made between God and his fallen Angel Lucifer. Like Faust, Hiob and many more before, a bet was made between good and evil. What was at stake? The countless souls inhabiting the city of sin. Are humans good by nature and able to find the righteous path even after having strayed too far or are they forever bound to burn in hell?
Angels are the very epitome of good in the realms of Men and Gods. They are harbingers of god's will, able to create miracles, to cleanse and purify even the vilest evil and able to bring men closer to their maker. They're beautiful, they're powerful, they are the very model of righteousness. Yet they are inhibited from acting on their own on earth, unable to materialize, to possess human vessels by force, unable to carry out their own agenda... But there are always ways to bend the rules, even for Angels...
Vile, the very essence of Sin and everything wicked and evil in the World. Demons are the unholy fiends native to the seven circles of hell, able to weave the primal sins to their liking and able to corrupt even the bravest souls. They thrive on sin and vile deeds, always sowing discord amongst mortals, be it by whispering of betrayal to suspicious husbands, to cause envy to blossom in sibling's hearts, to cause wrath in even the most timid of humans. They're able to possess godless vessels and humans in their weakest hours. They take what they want, and what they want is sin,
It's a race against time, the forces of both heaven and hell participating in the game for over a million human souls. Unable to manifest in the perimeters of the city itself the participants are forced to take to the road and influence the human world on their own to further their agendas. Whoever arrives there first has a head start in achieving the ultimate goal of either corrupting the city until hell itself swallows it whole or to redeem these lost souls and deny hell the claim to those poor humans.
In the end the city will cease to exist. Be it due to being cast into the abyss or by Sin leaving the city, thus causing it to wither like vile weeds without any water to sustain it. The souls are the prize, each participant having their own agenda they follow. Legions of hell may want to add them to their collection Primal Sin demons way need them for their own vile pleasures, feeding on the sinful souls Freelance demons may want to make a name for themselves and try to climb up the ranks of hell's hierarchy Archangels may follow God's orders Angels of little power may due so for virtue or to earn their feathery wings And the souls of the deceased may want to save their loved ones from eternal damnation. In the end it's all a race against time, good versus evil. Or is there more to it than the bigger picture? Are these souls just the prize or can they weave their own fate?...
