The Beginning of the Branded
"And now, my children, hear the discourses of the father of the earth, how fearful and awful it is to come before the face of the ruler of the earth, how much more terrible and awful it is to come before the face of the ruler of heaven, the controller of quick and dead, and of the heavenly troops. Who can endure that endless pain?" The Book of Enoch Chapter 40, Verse 8
The Branded
In the beginning it was quite simple, we sat from a lofty place and watched the face of man as it came to spread across their domain. I was with my brothers then, and when we saw the beauty of women...that chaos and that pleasure was enough for us to forsake that lofty place to come onto the earth and sew our own seed. Our children, the Nephilim, spread like a plague threatening to wipe out humanity or subjugate them to our will....After all...it was we, the Watchers, who gifted mankind knowledge of the darkness and the light. Invention, ambition, growth, evolution...WE started it all and for it God called the Deluge down on us. Do you remember Noah's Ark? I do too...Except I was standing there on a wretched mountain in the form of a gull as the waters rushed past and so did that massive...ship. I went to sleep after that, not in the earth but around it...like a satellite. Let me explain to you how it all happened.
What was just explained happened over ten thousands years ago, according to your calendars. Lets take this story forward a little bit, the year is 1908 and in the northern part of Siberia the nearest place for which this event can be named is...Tunguska. If you know your history, you will know that a massive explosion in Russia happened in 1908 attributed to a meteorite exploding. The force of the blast was 30 megatons, and according to your history it was an asteroid that exploded mid-air. But that was all me. You see the world was right on the cusp of deciding where humanities' industrious nations would strive to, war or peace. When it seemed imminent, I came out of my hibernation and dropped from my orbit aiming for the place where I would be scrutinized the least. I approached several small powers and realized the same problem we had had in the past, humanity loved to have their own little clubs. I would put a stop to that.
Six years later, I triggered what would become known as World War One. All it took was to stir up the petty squabbles of ignorant nobles, all the while promising a shadow organization of humans that I would gift them with the power to rule if they would fund my schemes. After a demonstration of my power...well you know where this goes. 16 million deaths and the world was reborn, more fragmented than ever in terms of morality but larger powers began to grow and me and my associates began to rise men through the ranks of governments around the world in order to work towards the enslavement of mankind. However, my oldest enemy, mankind itself was too wise at the time and something in them rejected our plans. I was frustrated but there was not much I could do.
In 1939 after grooming a young Austrian man named Adolf and corrupting local nobility with the idea of mysticism, he had become Chancellor and then Fuhrer of Germany. The second World War begun. Once again everything else is your own history, me and my puppets controlled the money flow and the resource flow and in the end, an Anglo-American empire was born to stand against a new player on the board, the USSR. This has been my formula for years, to play both sides like a game and decide my moves accordingly. Power does corrupt and for over a century now, I have weaved my poison into every faction of human life.
Leading up to the modern era, I turned to the council of financial barons that I had used to begin my plans against humanity. I had provided them with all the wealth that they could ever want and they licked my heel like the good dogs they were and so when I came with my demands there was little hesitation even with the darkness of my request....I asked them for daughters. In my slumber I began to formulate a new type of power, to gift humanity with my power and allow them to corrupt themselves...God would let humans destroy themselves and it would keep me from another Deluge. These women would become the first Branded and they would also eventually become the leaders of the four families that spread my influence across the entire world.
Each of these women first began a personal relationship with me, not always romantic but always it would become close and slowly I would corrupt them. Each individual story is a classic in itself and I promise to write it down someday but that would getting off subject entirely. I gifted these women pieces of my power and trained them to the point where they would never question a word from my mouth, sure they love to give me grief but I love them like family and they are showered in earthly pleasures for their services. Each one of them rules from a different portion of the Earth and endeavors to control different portions of human life in order to basically turn humanity into a spineless blob that will do anything their "loving" governments will tell them. What they dont know is eventually I will make their policy and that policy will be absolute and the best part....They will all have signed away their lives for it.
Oh I guess that reminds me...There is another story that needs told...
The Crimson Paladins
This is an order that I have only recently come to really know, their knowledge only spans back four thousand years when their leader Alfred Treon first came across an ancient device left behind by me and my brothers. It showed the man how the past had been and also warned of the second coming of the watchers and beginning of the Armageddon they would bring on. Al created the order by creating a pact with a mysterious benefactor that helped them to become powerful and efficient in their own way. They operate today like a paramilitary and are a pain in my ass.
The paladins are well known for collecting holy relics, and are the culprit over the years for certain things disappearing from museums and collections. A good example would be the spear of Longinus. There are other more obscure and powerful items from the time of the Watchers, things that once had purposes to us but we rid ourselves of them when we forsaked our old life. I didnt know later that these paladins and our old junk would prove to be the biggest obstacle to overcome.
The Modern World
As you can see by the state of the world, I am winning these battles. If you want to know the measure I will just mention a few of the businesses that I control in your lives: Federal Reserve Bank, IMF, JP Morgan, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Google. I do not own these businesses but I have a controlling stake in not only your food intake but what you watch, what you use to entertain yourselves, and I have used my knowledge to provide you with these modern age steered in the direction of enslavement. At this moment in time I feel like there is nothing to stop me because most of you are too confused...too stupid to realize your real enemy and in that same light, you dont realize your saviors either or their cries of obscurity amongst all the other "theories" out there.
But that is a false world, that is the world where you will never see my face or hear my name. Only those unfortunate enough to be in the wrong places at wrong times will witness the reality...There is a battle that happens every day all across the world where various forces of humanity come up against my girls and their armies of branded. I have to admit that the sheer will coupled with the relics that the paladins own have slowed us down a little but they realize something that I do as well...If they cant increase their power they will not be able to keep up with my forces and their advances.
I will have the final word in this world and mankind will kneel before me or they will be destroyed....It will have to happen...I have to make it happen before the Destroyer returns, if I cant do it by then..its going to be a near-eternity of unimaginable struggle to get to where I want to go.
Alright so I apologize about getting artistic about it but I couldnt just post it up like a drone, I needed to do it in that form just to get it to be formed in my mind. I dont know if that makes sense....Anyways I will list some important points below, but please read the piece carefully.
-All the leaders of the Branded are women. They are daughters of the world's elite, though they lost that identity from birth. Azazel came to each of them at different times and corrupted all of them, giving them the power of the Brand for unflinching loyalty to the Watcher. Their own fathers sold them out essentially to Azazel to be his pawns.
-I will not use Azazel in a combat function as, in the current time of the RP no one would stand a chance (An encounter where someone survives can be discussed, just to get some involvement in that way). Azazel is here in the RP to be the first stepping point of the Paladins. But for the passing or failing or the Paladins' plan to stop Azazel, something else WILL be coming. Thats a secret though. Just know that characters in this RP will grow, including the Branded.
-The current time is the current year, for locations of your HQs please refer to the Branded website. The link is located above.
-I will also be posting the first post once we have all our profiles in order and enough people to play. I am always a fan of a gathering as a jumping off point so be ready for that as Branded, could also be an opportunity for the Paladins to make an appearance. Just be aware thats where the plot will jump off. I will decide which of the Branded HQs will be our start point in the future.
-If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I want to provide you all with all the information that you need to get this going and to be a success. Thanks everyone!
