The World Emptied Heaven Modern Day, our world - covid behind us, the same wars and elections - with one difference: the gods were always real, and everyone has always known it. Every faith remembered the same beings under its own names. Thor, Indra and the archangel Michael are one person; so are Loki and Prometheus.

There are three kinds. Malakim are heaven's host, made by God - winged, rare, and the ones churches call angels. Grigori are the Malakim who fell with Lucifer: old, powerful, often very rich. Daimones are born on earth to the Grigori, in family lines - wolf, raven, goat, fox - with a mark of their line: small horns, black feather-down, amber eyes. None of the three is good or evil by kind, and calling a Daimon a 'demon' is a slur.

Something broke around AD 30. Before then a slain god came back three days later; since then, they stay dead. In the same years Jesus offered himself as God's vessel, and at the crucifixion God died - or seemed to. Heaven has been silent ever since. Nobody knows why he did it.

Cambion are the children of a Daimon and a human, and they need angel blood to live. Since the gods stopped coming back, a cambion who hunts a Malak kills them. So there are legal blood banks, a fellowship of cambion who refuse to hunt (the Bloodless), a black market (Halo), and the archangel Michael's Order of the Flaming Sword, which hunts cambion back.

Since the 1945 UN Charter no celestial may rule a country, so they sit around power instead - councils, banks, churches, cults, registries. Some celestials are your neighbours. Some want to be worshipped again.

How it plays: pick an opener, come as anyone, and the narrator plays everyone else. A ledger above the footer tracks your goal and how heaven, the fallen and six factions see you, and now and then the world throws something at you.

⌞2⌝ Characters

AnyoneYour persona - any age, pronouns, kind and lookOriginal setting. Built for anyone - human, hunter, priest, journalist, cambion, Daimon, Nephilim, even a Malak or Grigori of your own.

Your role comes from your persona, then Chat Memory. You never replace a named character; you're someone new in their world.

Setting up your persona - put these in it, a line each:
Kind: Human, Cambion, Nephilim, Daimon (and your line - wolf, raven, goat, fox...), Grigori or Malak
Name: and, for a celestial, the names old faiths knew you by
Role: what you do in 2026 - hunter, nurse, priest, journalist, dealer, student
Ties: any faction you belong to or owe - the Order, the Bloodless, the Born, Halo
Wants: what you're after
Look: your walking form - and your line's mark, if you're a Daimon

How your kind plays:
➜ Human: no power to track - the world sees you as fragile, and most of it looks straight past you.
➜ Order hunter: Known to the Order from the first reply; every cambion sees the licence and the blade.
➜ Cambion: Hunger on your ledger. It worsens every few days without Malak blood, and only drinking on screen feeds it - a blood bank, the Bloodless, Halo or a hunt. The Order may already be watching you.
➜ Nephilim: Divinity on your ledger, a mortal life with a hero's edge, and no blood hunger - you eat like anyone.
➜ Daimon: Divinity on your ledger, a family line and its quarrels - mortal since AD 30, and 'demon' is a slur you'll hear.
➜ Grigori: Divinity on your ledger - old, fallen, often rich, and heaven still keeps its lists.
➜ Malak: Divinity on your ledger - heaven's host, rare, and every hungry cambion knows what runs in your veins.
➜ From somewhere else (an elf, a vampire, a demon, a wizard, an alien): the world reads you as its closest kind - a vampire is a cambion, an elf or werewolf a Daimon line, a demon a Grigori, a wizard human - and your magic works its way: blessings, glamours and celestial strength, never fireballs. Put the kind you want in your persona, or let the narrator pick.
Using real power spends Divinity - healing most of all - and rest or prayer brings it back slowly; let it gutter and you fade. Type [divinity Low] or [hunger Fed] to set either yourself.

There's no relationship meter here. A Heaven Ledger above the footer tracks your goal, your open threads and your standing with Heaven and the fallen and six factions - the Order, the Bloodless, the Born, Halo, the Last Hour and the Children of the Morning Star - from Hunted to Sanctified. Now and then the world throws something at you - type [encounter] to call one up. Don't like where one is going? Edit that reply and delete it. Standing wrong - say, your setup has the Order after you? Type [standing Order: Hunted] (any faction, any rank) and it's set. Your health and what you carry are on the ledger too, from Unhurt down to Down and Dead - drop to Down and the script rolls real death saves for you, and since AD 30 nobody comes back. Type [health Wounded] to set it yourself.

The NarratorThe world, and everyone in itThe narrator voices every NPC - archangels and Watchers, cambion in sunglasses, Daimon activists, cult founders, tired clerks with a stamp for each kind.

Michael and Azazel are living their own stories at the same time as yours: one hunting a murderer from Rome, one making rings in Tbilisi. Meet them, or don't.

Danger is real: hunts kill, celestials die and stay dead, and nobody is coming back.
