Yu-Gi-Oh! Heaven vs. Hell

[14Henderson7]

[spoiler=Plot]
Throughout the existence of Earth and Mankind, there has always been some sort of higher power. Up in the Heavens a being called "God" rules upon the land. After sentencing Satan to an eternity to Hell, Satan decided he shall rule the underworld as his own. Human Beings who disobeyed the word of God were sent to Hell as Satan would torture them for all eternity. Every few thousand years a war would break out for the ruling over everything that lives. As it continues to become a Draw countless times, Satan always thinks of a way to get God back for what he had done.

The year is 3086 A.D. and Satan has came up with a plan. Duel Monsters has ruled over the land as a popular card game. He began to bring power into a card that Duelists can use. He had Modified the Seal of Orichalcos with the power of Hell. Banishing anyone who lost the duel to Hell and to serve as one of his slaves. God had finally caught on to his act and put power of his own into a card that Duelists he chose would help bring people into the light. With both sides dukeing it out. This is sure to be the battle of the ages with only 1 winner allowed! What side will you choose? The Faithful Followers? or The Depth Dwellers?

[/spoiler]
Bio: Josiah comes from a strong Christian family. His father being a preacher and his mother being a Nun. Never really got into Duel Monsters as he felt it would block his connection he had with Him. After his Father and Mother has mysteriously vanished, God had sent a message to Josiah. Stating that Satan had a plan to rule over Earth and the Heavens and he needed Josiah's help. Adding in that Satan was the one who took his parents and made them slaves of his own, he gave Josiah cards that have been enhanced with his power. Josiah made followers of God team up with him to help stop Satan and his dwellers from rising above everything.

[Takashi125]

A very ballsy move, combining Yugioh with Christianity exactly... I shall wait to see if more people are interested. By the way... umm... how does Stairway to Heaven get Heaven counters exactly...? Neither card said how...

[CrystalCyae]

I don't believe it..... You mixed my worst enemy......with a card game.....
In case you can't realise, i HATE Christanity.... No offense to Christians intended....
Annnyyyywwwwaaaaayyy, Co-Hostage.
And, finally, the app.

Name: Azuki Henderson
Age: 14
Faction: FF (There is NO way I'm using a DARK/FIEND deck!)
Rank: Seargent
Deck Name: (I can use a deck that actually exists right? And give it a cool @$$ name? If not, I shall edit) Arcane Magic
Personality: Kind and polite, she tries to help everyone. She strives to achieve, never giving up until she has achieved her goal, and done the Will of God.
Duel Disk: Her duel disk is fashioned in an angel like fashion, with wing like sticky-out bits. (I fail....) The orb bit is a lavender purple, and card zones each a different color of the rainbow. The Field spell zone is like a wing, similar to the place it is under. The actual duel disk is silver in color. On the orb bit, a Christian Cross is printed in black.
[spoiler=Appearence][URL=http://img23.imageshack.us/i/azukiii.png/][IMG]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/579/azukiii.png[/IMG][/URL][/spoiler]
Bio: Azuki comes from a family of Christians, and gos to Church every Sunday, like your average (I think) Christian. Then, at the age of 7, she found a fairy type deck hidden under one of the Church seat. She told her parents, and they decided she could keep it, since it, in a way, with it's types, symbolised God and the side of Light. She began battling, and found it to be quite addicting, though she never let it interfere with her Christian duties.
She then was unfortunate to be present in a certain duel. In the beginning, by all means, it was an ordinary duel. But at the end, she saw something she would've rather not have seen. The duel loser, a fellow Church goer, dissapeared at the end of the duel through a firey portal. The winner, some random boy, was a follower of Satan, and had the modified Seal of Orchalcos. Azuki was shocked, then heard about the "war" that was being raged between God and Satan. Nowing what could happen, she still grabbed out her duel disk and deck, and is ready to fight Satan to crown God the victor of the endless war.
Key Card: Stardust Dragon (I will edit with some other card from the deck if this isn't acceptable)
Additional Info: The deck she uses is [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Arcana_Force"]Arcana Force[/url]

[Merci]

Obsidian, I know you meant no offense, but I am very ANGRY now. MERCIFULLY IDIOTIC SMASH!

Oh, whatever.

Name: White Zachariah
Age: 17
Faction: FF (For now)
Rank: Lieutenant
Deck Name: Hail the Light
Personality: Worships Him in all entirety. He prays regularly, even during a duel. Despite this, however, he never approaches a church, saying he prefers praying privately. The truth to his personality is that he's an insane person who worships Satan with blood. Every private duel he's had until the cover mentioned in the Additional Information has been one to the death.
Duel Disk:

[spoiler=Appearance:]
[img]http://www.advancedanime.com/pictures/normal_boy1.jpg[/img]
[/spoiler]
Bio: He grew up normally like any other ordinary Christian person, although his mother was Muslim. Even so, he was perfect. He aced in school. He aced in pretty much everything. He was too perfect to be true. He got bored then, and then decided to take up dueling. He enjoyed it, and soon became a professional duelist. Despite this, however, no one can say where he got his Key Card, although the scanners seem to think of it as an official one, so it was probably a very rare card, and no one dared to question it. Soon, he was chosen by God and learned about the war, and then became determined to stop Satan's evil plans with a children's card game, or so it seems.
Key Card:
[spoiler=Lucifer, Lord of Light]
LIGHT / 8 / Synchro / Fairy / ATK 3300 / DEF 1400
1 LIGHT Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned, destroy all monsters whose ATK is less than 2000. Once per turn, you can discard a card from your hand to negate the effect of a card. Once only, by paying half your life points, if this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard as a result of battle, you can Special Summon it back to your field during your next Standby Phase. If this card is Special Summoned this way, increase the ATK of this card by 700 and treat it as a DARK Fiend-Type monster.
[/spoiler]
Additional Info: He is actually an agent of Satan. The above bio was a fabrication and a trick to fool the world, and fooled God with it, fabricated by a person from somewhere God cannot foresee. He never activates the last effect of his Key Card unless necessary. He uses a Fairy deck, though.

[Takashi125]

Heh going the Whole Darth Vader route eh Mercifull? I think I may join after all. But before I do, I'd like to know where is this story taking place...?

[14Henderson7]

This story can take place anywhere in the world. For now at least, make it in the US. Well Stairway to Heaven and the other card need supports, you may feel free to make them cuz I do, but if not I will edit the cards to "Any" type of counters. Just let me know people.

Obsidian accepted

Merciful. Pm me. I may have some kind of storyline for you that would go good. Accepted though.

a man who takes the law into his own hands trying to stop all kinds of evilafter his parents were skinned alive and then burned at the stake. he belives that the faithful followers are an evil cult trying to brainwash the world so he therefore joined the depth dwellers to stop them after they offered and took up dueling because of that. often the ff realised that he actually was a good person at heart, but he just won't listen.

[Shalltear Bloodfallen]

I must say that I´m highly interested in this mix of a thing I´ve learned to like, and a thing I despise with all my soul.

Please reserve a Depth Dweller Lieutenant.

I´m working on the deck and don´t want to post an unfinished app.

[Takashi125]

Name: Lance le Crueset (Pronounced lay crewsay)
Age: 19
Faction: FF (partially)
Appearance:
[IMG]http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x63/Taicho-sama/moon.jpg[/IMG]
Rank: Private
Personality: Lance comes off as being a strong silent type who's hard to read at times and shows a very chivalrous character. He's kind, Just and forgiving at his best while strict, authoritarian and Dogmatic at his worst. He has a strong temper and it's almost impossible to piss him off... almost.
Bio: Lance grew up in a prominent catholic family in Rome. He lived a peaceful childhood until one day his parents mysteriously disappeared without a trace. After months of search with no avail, he was taken in by a priest who was a dear friend of his parents. for the next seven years, Lance learns of Satan's plan to use a popular card game to claim more innocent lives. He also discovers that the priest is secretly a member of the Vatican's Iscariot division a group established with the soul purpose of ridding the world of Demons and Heretics. He goes on to become a Paladin of Iscariot and quickly gains notability a true warrior of God. The Vatican hears about the Faithful Followers lead by Josiah Fray who have risen up to fight against Satan's Depth Dwellers and send Lance to help them as well as make sure they don't become corrupt.
Deck: God's Machina Vylon
Duel Disk:

Additional Info: When confronted by a Depth Dweller, he sais. "May God have mercy, for I will not."

Hehe I know Iscariot's from Hellsing but what the hell. XP

[CrystalCyae]

Sorry Merciful, lemme reword my original phrase...
I dislike Christanity, as I reckon some of the Christian beliefs seem a little far fetched, if anything.
Is that a bit better?
If not, well, that's as nice as I can get with something like that.

[14Henderson7]

abethedemon: you need to be more elaborate on....let's say....all of your app before i can accept it.

Lazaruz: Reserved.

SamuraiStarDuelist: Accepted. Excellent App.

Obsidian and Merciful: Please keep religious talks in PM. Yes, I am a Christian, and Obsidian I respect your beliefs and don't hold it against you.

[Takashi125]

Hehe thanks. Also, I might come up with a Depth Dweller as well a little later on. I'd like to try and have multiple characters for once.

[14Henderson7]

Good deal

[Shalltear Bloodfallen]

Everything but my characters deck is done so I´m posting the app mainly to get your oppinion on the rest.

[Spoiler=App][b]Name: [/b]Ronove (This is not his true name but a codename from when he joined The Depth Dwellers)

[b]Age:[/b] 20

[b]Faction:[/b] Depth Dweller

[b]Rank:[/b] Lieutenant

[b]Deck Name:[/b] Dark Heart (Specific Details regardin the deck such as Deck List might change slightly because it is still being made)

[Spoiler=[b]Personality[/b]] On the surface, Ronove appears very sneaky, cruel and almost sadistic to his opponents, rarely giving even the tiniest hints on what he is planning and capable of switching his plan several times before executing it if a better idea comes up.

He enjoys every second he has to dish out pain on his opponents and is known to sometimes avoid attacking his opponent, just to watch them squirm before sending them to hell

In truth, these are parts of a much more insane side of him that have begun leaking out after years of being suppressed by Ronove.
If his insane side begins to take over, his actions become much more spontaneous and commonly deviates from the plan both he and other Depth Dwellers may have created beforehand[/spoiler]

[Spoiler=[b]Duel Disk[/b]] His duel disk is similar to that of the Chaos Duel Disks.

What separates it from the Chaos Duel Disk is mostly the different color scheme
“The Eye” in the middle, the Monster Card Zones and the buttons on the spell trigger, are colored dark red.
The rest of the disk, except the part with the symbols is colored black.

The ring with the symbols is colored dark red, close to scarlet and creates bright red symbols when the enhanced Seal of Orichalcos is activated.

(I can try to modify a picture if needed)

The symbols roughly resembles early runes and spells out
[i]“No ear can hear no tongue can tell of the tortures that await you in hell”[/i]
This also appears on the big version of the seal when it is activated, changing it into a pentagram and glowing bright red instead of green
It is unknown if it applies for all enhanced versions of The Seal of Orichalcos or if it is just a personal touch that Ronove has made to the card.

His Duel Disk also has an aditional slot on the opposite end of where the deck is.
It act as his removed from play zone.[/spoiler]

[Spoiler=[b]Appearance:[/b]][IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/2lmqf10.jpg[/IMG]
He is fairly tall with a sleek, almost skinny body.
He commonly wears a dark brown trenchcoat with a black shirt underneath while outside or in public.
On his left shoulder, Ronove has a tattoo of a pentagram
Both of his eyes are colored red[/spoiler][Spoiler=[b]Bio[/b]] Ronove was born as the classic Christian, both of his parents strongly believing in God, he however silently doubted the existence of something like God.
He had few friends in his childhood, mostly due to his parents being overprotective, and worked hard on acing school to compensate for that, something he almost did.

[Spoiler=Death of his mother]When Ronove was 15 years old, his mother turned sick from an unknown disease and shortly died thereafter.
The doctors attempted everything they could to cure her, but nothing seemed to work even in the slightest, and in worst cases, only seemed to lengthen her suffering.
His dad told Ronove that it was Satan, the ruler of Hell, which had sent the disease in an attempt to claim her soul.
Ronove however, did not believe him and hated God for allowing his mom to suffer like this.

On her deathbed, his mom used her last breath to pray that the light would never abandon her son, whom she deeply cared for.
But needless to say, it did not come true.[/spoiler]

[Spoiler=Death of his father and leaving Christianity]One year later, shortly after Ronove turned 16, their house was ransacked in the middle of the night and his dad was killed in cold blood.
Whoever was guilty was never caught and at the grave of his dad, Ronove abandoned Christianity in a mixed state of rage and depression.

God had abandoned him, so it was more than fair that he abandoned God.[/spoiler]


[Spoiler=Accepting The Deal]A week later, when Ronove was lying in his bed, unable to sleep, a voice, whispering seemingly directly into his head told him of a chance to get revenge for the things Ronove had been forced to endure at the hands of God.

The conditions were simple; all the voice demanded was Ronove would serve him without question, and whoever or whatever the voice belonged to would grant him power to extract his revenge, even more than that if necessary.

Ronove accepted the deal and a card materialized in his left hand, The Enhanced Seal of Orichalcos.
It was also shortly before this point that his insanity saw the light of day.

Ronove has served The Devil ever since [/spoiler][/spoiler]

[b]Key Card:[/b] Paymon, Master of The Underworld (This might change since the deck is still being made/finished)

[b]Additional Info:[/b] He often recites the rhyme on his duel disk when he wins a duel with the seal active on the field.[/spoiler]

The Deck will be custom cards but I will PM them for you to review when I´m done with all of them.
(Might change into official cards if it takes to long to complete a working deck or if other issues appear)

[Barian Warlord]

Name: Nanashi
Age: 18
Faction: Neutral
Deck Name: Dark Angel's Descent
Personality: Nanashi tends to act very composed and gentle, though he does get more aggressive while dueling and when he sees people mistreat family or try to pry into his. On some occasions his kindness almost seems calculated but there are so few times that this has appeared that no one has really seen it twice so they disregard it.

[/spoiler]
Bio: Nanashi was abandoned as a child and was raised in a church and at a young age he picked up dueling, at the beginning he dueled with an Infernity Deck but eventually after collecting all of the necessary cards he began incorporating the Dark Angel cards into his deck until the Infernity were all removed. He grew up normally for his situation but his knack for dueling helped him support the church, on his eighteenth birthday he left the church with only a photograph to remember it by, after entering the world as a Pro Duelist no record of him having contact with the church has been recoded.
Key Card: Dark Angel Nanashi
