The Guardians: Difference between revisions

[[File:demon_forged_4180.jpg|frame]]

 

 

 

During the first war of the angels, Lucifer led a rebellion against God and was defeated. The angels who fought with him were cast into Hell as demons; the angels who choose neither side were cast down to Earth as nosferatu. Demons, nosferatu and angels are bound by Rules; they cannot harm humans nor deny their free will. However, they can tempt humans with bargains and wagers. If either party of a demonic bargain fails to fulfill their side, then they will be trapped in Hell for eternal torment.

 

 

Vampires are half-human half-nosferatu hybrids who are born human and later changed by drinking nosferatu or vampire blood. They are neither bound nor protected by the Rules, and have free will to choose good or evil.
