NationStates Jolt Archive

In my nations history, we were oringinally ruled by demons, but then we were rescued by angels (See my NSWiki for details). I would like to rp this war. The angels must win in the end, but the demons may survive in some way. I will be playing the humans of Starenell, and people could play angels, demons, or something else (If approved by me). There can be multiple of everything, but we need at least some on both sides.

Angels:
DMG
Mini Miehm (Leader of Archons)

Demons:
Theao (Leader)

Devils:
Riedra (Leader)

Other:
Ravea

What kind of angels/demons?
Ie: Judo-Christian demons, Japanese demons, hindu 'demons' ect

Dungeons and Dragons for both. Not sure what mythos that would be.

Could you provide source material(for those who aren't players/up to date) on DnD creatures/history ect.

I can get some. Some stats. I can definitly get pictures. If anyone wants to customize their armies they can feel free. *Leaves to get material*

Yay, and thanks for being getting the materials.

Okay, angel stats. Other celestial stats soon.

-Darkvision out to 60 feet.
-immune to acid, cold, and petrification
-resistance to electricity and fire
-resistance to poison
-can speak with any creature that has a language

All well/good, but culture/general personalities(ect) would be more helpful then physiology.

sounds good to me, I am in.

Okay for both. Doing stuff now.

Alright, though I am telling you I am going to need a fair bit of information on the Angels and Devils (not playing D&D myself)

OOC: More stats soon. For culture, all I am sure of is that Devils are the epitome of a Byzantine society, backstabbing all that. They are extremely tyrannical and lawful, but the break the rules to move up in the ranks.

The Demons are chaotic evil. They and the devils hate each other almost as much as they hate the forces of good. The are obessessed with death and destruction. They see all creatures as food or amusement. (Through torture, most likely)

I'll join in for the ride as well, if no one has any objections.

So Demons = Lex Luthor types?

@ Ravea Sure

@ Theao. Umm, not sure. Are you mixing up devils and demons? Because there is a difference.

So devils = Lex Luthor types, while demons = Loki-ish(In the later part of norse mythos).
Also posted before the edit so I didn't see the change.

Kay. Demons are very Loki-ish so and from what I remember of Lex Luthor, Devils are very like him.

I'd like to sign up as head of the demons then.

Sure. Beware of your generals :)

Sure. Beware of your generals :)
They should beware the demonic ideas of my own. ;) , thought this is a good chance for a 'destructive testing' rp(meaning one where my goal is to lose(in the end))

Right. This should go for a while, with the tide changing often. Finally, there will be a giant battle and the good guys win, with help from the humans.

Sounds good.

I'd like to join as a middle-of-the-road character. Personally, I'm thinking perhaps a Human-not a native of Starenell, but perhaps from somewhere else-who gets caught up in this mess. I'm not quite sure what I'll do, but mabey along something along those lines.

Ravea, okay.

I will be some important Angel.

DMG: So, a pretty high ranked General? Because you can command the angels if you want.

If these are like the DnD 3ed Angels, I'll take the various Archons of the Angel Branch. (Lantern, Hound, Trumpet, may be a couple other but that's all I remember right now...)

Seeing as I don't know much about DnD, I would rather not be in charge of all the angels; but a general will be fine.

They are, so yeah go ahead.

DMG: Okay.

Leader of Devils is now taken by someone. You can still play them though.

Bump. Do we think we are ready?

Uh... I still need information on the Angels and Devils

Well, are you gonna play Angels, Devas, or Planars?

As I have stated... I am playing an Angel.

Ok, I'll check the MM and get back to you(temporarily misplaced it...)

Alright, take your time.

By the way, I also need information on Devils, considering I am going to be fighting them.

Thank you Mini Miehm, for your help. My friend and I share books but the Monster Manual is his and he has it right now.

No problem.

Ok, here we go:

Angels:

Darkvision and Low-light Vision.

Immune to Acid, Cold, and Petrification.

Reduced damage from Lightning and Fire.

Resistant to poison.

Resistant to attacks and Spells cast by Evil Creatures.

Can speak the language of any animal that has a language.

Astral Deva:

Weakest of the Angels, but still extremely powerful, capable of dealing out large amounts of damage with their massive Maces of Disruption, they also have the abilirty to stun enemies with repeated strikes. They are also capable of casting many spells every day, many of them at will. About 7.5 feet tall, and generally 250lbs.

Planetar:

The next most powerful of the Angels, they are massive beings, deadly and fast, they weild greatswords imbued with magical power. They are generally the lesser Generals of the Angelic Armies. Like the Astral Deva, they are capable of casting many spells every day, and casting many of them at will. They also regenerate any wound not dealt by an evil aligned weapon.

Solar:

The highest of the Generals in the Angelic Armies. Solars are powerful beings of Light. Their weapons are Epic in power, and any enemy or weapon weaker than Epic Evil will do limited injury to them. Their Dancing Greatswords and Composite Bows of Slaying make them deadly warriors. Their Spells are nearly as deadly, making them powerful enough to destroy packs of mediocre Demons and Devils on their own.

I'll post Archons, Devils, and Demons soon. I'll post Gaurdinals soon as well, and I may postthe Inevitables.

Could you add the MM info on Demons please Mini Miehm?

It seems like Planetar is the right type of character for me as I am going to be a lesser general.

Ok, here's the Tanar'ri, or Demons:

Tanar'ri Traits:

Immune to Electricity and Poison

Resistance to Acid, Cold, and Fire

Summon Tanar'ri

Telepathy

Babau:

Assasins of the Demon Lords. Bony and quick, they fight without courage, attacking from ambush and killing enemies with their sneak attacks, eliminating the strongest opponents first. Once every day, a Babau may attempt to summon another Babau with a 40% chance of success. They are also capable of casting several spells at will. Their bodies are coated in an acidic slime, and any weapon that hits them will be damaged by the poewrful acid.

Balor:

The Generals of the Demonic Armies. They are huge and powerful, driving their underlings on with their Flaming Whips and massive Longswords. Every day a Balor may automatically summon several Dretches, a few Hezrous, or a single Nalfeshnee, Glabrezu, Marilith, or Balor. The Balor also has several spells that it can cast at will. Its body is wreathed in flame, hot enough to burn anything that comes into contact with it.
