In the beginning God created the angels and heavens, but grew bored as omnipotent beings often do. And so he created the world and the people on it. He gave these people free will for entertainment and I can assure you, it was nothing more than that. But he began to neglect his first creations. But one, his first an most favorite, decided that he'd had enough. He banded an army together, half of the angels in heaven sided with Lucifer, the morning star and the rose up in a rebellion against the creator.<br/><br/>But he is god....and God wins, it's one of the perks of the position. He cast the rebellious angels down into hell, they fell from the heavens and found themselves in the lake of fire. Satan ruled this realm his his fallen brethren along side him but it wasn't enough for the jealous fiend and so the Devil created demons to torment humanity and pervert god's enjoyment of it. Most of the other fallen Angels weren't terribly concerned with what Lucifer had done, they bided their time peacefully in the abyss waiting for their banishment to end. However like Lucifer, Maeliki<span style="font-style: italic">(pounounced: Mal_ick_i)</span>was Lucifer favored disciple and he too felt betrayed when his master created a new species. Like Lucifer before him, Maeliki rounded up an army and set against the king of hell.<br/><br/>This rebellion was crushed just like the first, only this time Lucifer through Maeliki and his fellow comrades out of hell. Instead of falling they were this time ejected back upward and onto earth. Mount Vesuvius 79AD eruption marked their arrival and there they have stayed. Orphans from both heaven and hell they walk the earth and wait for God's final judgment on human kind, as promised the earth will be destroyed and finally they will find peace in oblivion.<br/><br/>They walk among us, looking much like the humans around them. A few minor distinctions, but for the most part you would walk right by one on the street and never know it. No naval, no body hair , although most have long hair adorning their heads. Their eyes don't have iris's instead the pupil encompasses the same portion, usually meaning they chose to cover them with something, the deep hood of a cloak in older times or dark glasses as many of the do in modern times.  Usually they are tall and well built and come in both male and female appearances. The do have wings, large ones, but humans can't perceive them unless the Angel wants them shone or the mortal is on his deathbed.<br/><br/>These remaining immortals have spread to every corner of the earth, some occupy their time with amassing wealth and playing the humans at their own vices, other try and make amends for their past trespasses and work at helping humanity. Still others yet simply wander and wait.
