Miami, Florida
From the outside a typical American city but one in which the millions of human inhabitants go about their business largely unaware of the immortals who walk amongst them. For in this city there also dwell three non-human races.
The supernaturals may be human in appearance but they possess abilities that no human could ever know and whilst many may seem like typical adolescents, their true age can often be measured in terms of hundreds of years.
In this city, you can also find a community of vampires. These beings have learned over time to overcome the lethal effects of the sun’s rays and can now travel by day as easily as the hours of darkness. They still require regular infusions of blood to survive as their bodies can not produce red blood cells of sufficient quantity to ensure their own survival. Many have learned however that they can feed on animals as easily as they once did with humans. They are certainly not the dark entities described in folklore.
And yet there is another group of immortals who may well have a more sinister purpose for their very name is enshrined in shadow. Dark Angels have just one task, one role which defines both their character and their function. This is a role they have created for themselves out of their own notions of racial superiority. They live only to hunt down and destroy the other immortals for they believe that vampires and supernaturals pose a very real threat which must be eliminated.
Among the immortal races there are whispers of a prophecy that some day soon there will walk this earth an immortal being that possess power that the Dark Angels could never conquer but who will bring an end to the eternal conflict between the immortal races. It is rumoured that the ‘chosen one’ has already been born and even now walks the earth in the City of Miami. Naturally a group of immortals of all races have descended upon this spot in order to discover this character’s elusive identity.
The vampires and supernaturals believe that the ‘Chosen One’ will mean the salvation of their race and the final destruction of the vile Dark Angels for surely nothing less than this will quell the hatred and the thirst for sacrifice that embody the twisted hearts of these accursed beings. The Dark Angels however have a prophecy of their own. It has been foretold to them that a being will come amongst them with the power to destroy their entire race, but that this purpose may be thwarted by means of a ritual that can only be performed once for when it is done it may not be undone, nor can it ever be practiced on another. Once this ritual is completed the spirit of the chosen one would be utterly destroyed and there would be no power on earth to counter that of the Dark Angels.
So which character are you? Are you a human, oblivious to the conflict that is raging in the streets around you? Are you a vampire or a supernatural, who seeks only to survive and with the assistance of the Chosen One put a final end to the tyranny of the Dark Angels? Are you a Dark Angel who has vowed to rid the world of Vampires and Supernaturals and who would strive to destroy the one who threatens your own existence? Are you a traitor among the immortals who believes their own race is on the wrong side in this conflict? The choice is yours.
As for the prophecies, only time can tell which will come to pass, and which one will fail. When you're all alone, Every Second Counts.
