The Races

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

The Magdalene Order

A religious group constructed for the sole purpose of the extermination of devils and their minions. However, they also serve as a refuge for injured or helpless individuals, just like any other church. There are several sub-categories to the members of the Magdalene Order, and they are as follows.

• Militia
  
  • These men and women are the armed forces that actively combat devils and domestic disturbances related to demonic activity. They are required to pass several rigorous tests to be deemed worthy to join. These individuals are looked up to by the rest of the church members, as they often also work as the church’s protectors.
  
  
• Clergy
  
  • The nuns, the priests, the fathers. They make up the clergy of the church and run the daily masses as one would expect.
  
  
• Choir
  
  • The Magdalene Order is proud of its children's choir group. It is not exclusive for young children, however, as there are also teenagers and young adults aiding them in everything they can.
  
  
• Scientists
  • The church is always looking for innovation, especially when it comes to helping the militia. They come up with new ways to fight demons, such as making better barriers and better ammunition.

Devils

The one thing most humans undoubtedly fear. And for good reason. Most of these beings wish only for the destruction of human kind. Devils, otherwise known as demons, have an innate hierarchy of their own, classified by strength. These ranks are as follows.

• Lower Class Demons
  • A self-explanatory rank; these demons are usually used as minions by the higher-ups. However, there are a few who hone their powers enough to raise in ranks.
  
  
• Middle Class Demons
  • The most abundant of the demons. These are your common household troublemakers, the ones who come to ‘haunt’ houses and act as poltergeists when agitated.
  
  
• High Class Demons
  • Undoubtedly the most scarce of the demons. Only a handful exist and not much is known about them.

Apostles

The apostles are beings chosen by God in order to help the human race towards His grace after their tendencies of straying from the righteous path. There are seven of them, each having powers linked to the seven heavenly virtues.

• Hope – Joshua Christopher
  
• Faith –
  
• Diligence –
  
• Chastity –
  
• Humility –
  
• Temperance –
  
• Charity – Azmaria Hendrich
  

The Strays

A cult of humans that have been marked and chosen by some dark source to counter the Apostle’s work on Earth. They are classified and linked to the seven deadly sins.

• Wrath –
  
• Envy –
  
• Sloth –
  
• Pride –
  
• Lust –
  
• Greed –
  
• Gluttony –

Humans

The bystanders. This race, however, is by far the most flexible, they are not tied to an allegiance by standards or norms. Some follow the path of light, while others blatantly deny it. And of course, there are those who are blissfully unaware of the strange world that revolves around them, and remain between both sides, always caught in the crossfire. Some, but not all, of the major groups of the human race are the ones that follow.

• Demon Worshipers - Demon Affiliated
  
• The Believers - God Affiliated
  
• The Commoners - The Ones in Between
