On December 21, 2012 the world ended. [/color][/font]
And that is just the beginning.[/color][/font][/b][/i]
For years people wondered how the world was going to end. Some said fire and others said ice, many thought that our own human nature would be our undoing in the end . . . Those that clung to religious faith were assured that the end would come and after that, a new age would usher in. Humans have long been the top of the food chain, expanding across new horizons and pushing into things better left alone. Science and technology took the place of faith and mystery. The things in the shadows were chalked up to a case of the nerves and one too many viewings of Poltergeist. We took for granted what was once ours and when you take things for granted, you never quite realize how much they meant until they are gone . . . .
It started with earthquakes. Tremors that swallowed cities into oblivion, signaling that the Gates to Hell had been opened. The demons and supernatural beings rampaged out into freedom, taking the shape of flesh and form fully capable of destruction. It was more than we were prepared for, more than most of us knew how to handle. The Gates rose up one by one, cracking out of the earth's crust marred with sigils that not a human on the planet could make heads or tails of -- not that they had time to try. From the gates poured the armies of Hell and while bodies fell and cities crumbled, while voices screamed Armageddon and Doomsday, the demons took what had been ours and claimed the world as their own. They crawl through the cities and terrorize those they get their hands on, survivors of the greatest catastrophe the world has ever known. What their ultimate plan is, nobody can say, but there are those few determined to find out. The Gates remain open, allowing more of their kind to come through. Those that they do not kill must serve them, or be forced to do so under pain of death . . . They have power and numbers on their side. One might think it a lost cause. But ever has humanity proved resilient and when pressed, capable of standing up to the greatest of heights and surpassing the largest of mountains. They have what is ours . . . But we have what it takes to get it back.
For centuries the myths have told of vampires and shape shifters, people with abilities that no mortal should possess. Once upon a time, we believed in such things and considered them normal, more than myth and legend. There was a time that we warded off evil spirits and fought back against the darkness. That time has come again. In the aftermath of 2012, some humans found that they were more than just mere survivors . . . They were capable of doing things that had not been possible before. Others found that the shadows were filled with more than just demons and that not all supernatural beings were harmful. And those that were not granted abilities discovered that they aren't really needed because the tenacity of the human spirit is enough. Survivors one and all set against odds greater than ever imagined, but that is hardly the stopping point. These survivors are determined to turn the tides and figure out how to reverse what has been done. Some are content to side with the demons and wait for what happens next, while others turn their gaze toward the Heavens and wonder when help will arrive . . . Whether or not help is coming remains to be seen. The questions remaining will be answered in time; for now we have only the option to sit back and wait or take up arms and fight back.
The question is not 'where were you when the world ended?' The question is what will you do now? Will you side with the demons or will you fight for the future of humanity? Will you wait for help to arrive or become the calvalry that the world needs? Make your choice soon because tomorrow is a tenuous thing . . . . [/size]
