666 years ago, a war occurred between those who could perform magic, and those who were jealous of it. The side of magic was winning, until a traitor named Cylvan cast a spell, causing all magic to be sealed into a grotto underneath the Nile River's source, and changed reality so being a rich chauvinistic human male replaced magic as the greatest power in the universe. However, in order to cover up how things used to be, The Illuminati were formed in order to promote the ideal that money is power, that women are worthless sex slaves, and that magic is fictional...But a leak in the system occurred when New Zealand granted women their rights, which led to a series of further cracks, and to this day, the Illuminati facade is crumbling more and more...but when, the Illuminati asked themselves, these men who sit in the shadows of power, would the secret lynchpin be removed..​

December 21, 2012:An apocalypse?
Cecelia new that this trip up to the Nile's source was a slim chance, but the man swore it would change her career as a writer of the history of belief in magic.
Her little party of 2 reached the source 5 minutes after she said that. Impressive, as far as sources go. Her team, consisting of herself, Professor Whitby, her guide, Khalis, and Tossman, her servant.
Khalis told her to step on the ground, next to where their campsite had just been placed. After doing so, she felt queasy, as if...too late, she fell through the earth itself, and blacked out...

She woke up in what appeared to be a grotto, with pictographs carved on the ground. They translated to the following message:

Place your palm on the ground, she who falleth here, and set the truth free, if you dare. She obeyed, not knowing what she was to unleash...​

@PkmnSapphire; as long as your character isn't a Twilight werewolf, it's OK.
 
Name: Nicholas Eres, Badass Frikkin' Mayor Overlord!!!

Species: Mostly human.

Alignment: Claims he's evil. Acts somewhere between neutral and good.

Powers:
Nicholas is the descendant of a powerful demon lord, the genes recently awakened due to the reintroduction of magic. He now exerts some degree of control over a team of demons loyal to his late father. They're not too strong, but they are tough enough to take a police officer in a fight. They're mostly human in ability, usually with one or two traits that give them an edge, like claws or fire breath or increased size. Nicholas can summon up to eight at a given time. He has a total of 40, and when one dies, they come back to life in a day or so.
He also has some demonic traits. He's now faster and stronger than most humans: His abilities aren't above what humans are capable of, but it's near the limits. The most he's managed as far as a feat of strength is punching through a car door, and that really hurt his hand.

Appearance: Nicholas sees himself as a badass final boss one might see in a video game, so he's borrowed the look from many antagonists. Namely, lots of black. He's grown his platinum-blonde hair to be shoulder length, and wears a black leather jacket. He leaves it open, revealing his black shirt, which sports a skull and crossbones. He has black jeans and combat boots as well. He might look badass, except he's only of average height, and has a slender body. Also, he wears a pair of circular glasses.

History: Nicholas was ignorant of his demonic heritage before the apocalypse. He wanted to become a mayor, like his father. Of course, that was before liberation. After his parents were killed by demons, he declared himself mayor, since his dad was dead, and decided to carry on his father's legacy by becoming ruler of the demons! He discovered his powers when he took up his father's ring, and learned he could summon demons.

Weapons: Nicholas doesn't use so much weapons as enchanted objects. On his finger, he wears a red ring, a family heirloom. It's actually a symbol of his infernal lineage, and allows him to perform minor transmutations on objects he touches. He can change their shape, and the amount of a given substance it contains, but he can't change it to something entirely different. For example, he could make a silicon needle from a blade of grass, since it has silicon in it. He can't change it to a gold ring, however, since it lacks gold in it's makeup. He could also change a mechanical pencil into diamond, since it's lead is made of carbon, but he could not change it into a flower, since it lacks many of the things that make the flower a flower.
Mostly, though, when he fights, he uses the martial arts training his father got him in case he got kidnapped.

Relatives: His father, the late mayor of his town. And Xecilgarasp, a powerful demon overlord, and his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. He died after choking on some evil ice cream. And his mother, who was a doctor.

Patron Deity: Hel, norse death goddess.

Other: His favorite food is waffles.

I take it you'll be controlling stuff like the police?

Click to expand...

I take it you'll also be controlling NPCs like the National Guard and President and stuff? Can't have Nick take over the US of A if nobody's running it in the first place, after all.
 
Let's just say that the governments work...differently in Black Embers.
 
Occasionally...it all depends on you, the players!
 
Yes. But it has to be from a Real-world Pantheon. No Cthulhu, Zorc Necrophades, Palutena or other gods that are entirely made up for a provably fictional text.(I make an exception for Xenu, as otherwise, Scientologists would have my name dragged through the mud...*joking, that cult is a load of s**t profiteering off of gullible people and stupid celebrities*)
 
okay,so can I use Venus,Goddess of Love? (at the moment,it was the first goddess that struck my head xD)
