Forget all you think you know about Heaven, Hell and the afterlife, because the learning starts here.
HEAVEN
At the very top of Mt.Tem is God himself, watching and making decision from the very top as he sees fit, God is very hands on when it comes to the running of the worlds he lets his subordinates make the lower decisions on his behalf but these are decision that 10 Angels have to agree on together. Miracles are usually something that is left to a persons Guardian Angles to decide weather to offer a miracle or leave a person to their fate. All Miracles have to go through the Court Of Ten before they can be carried out.
The Court of 10, this court consists of 10 angels, the first 10 angels to be created by God. These 10 are the only beings in existence to have direct contact with god. It is their job to relay any messages, orders or direction to the other Angles and also to Purgatory (purgatory is explained later). These 10 Angles have incomprehensible power and no being has been able to fully understand all the powers these Angels posses, each one differs from one another and each has a different superior attack but their basic abilities are almost the same, Angel 1 is the strongest angel going down to Angel 10 who is the weakest. The Court of Ten have a building at the bottom of Mt.Tem which has high level security which nothing has been able to get past. At the end of the court are the stairs, which lead to the top of Mt.Tem and where God lives. These 10 Angles never leave the court, as they are messengers and protectors. Only one Angel, Number 4 is aloud to leave the Court to pursue his other ventures dealt to him by God.
Arch Angels:- The Arch Angels are those Angles which most people have heard about these are ones listed in the bible and each one is exceptional compared to a human but not compared to The Court of 10. The Arch angles have many different duties and these are the ones who are given orders to pass on to the other lower Angles from the Court of 10. The Arch Angles only get involved with things on Earth when they are directed usually they are just to pass the message along to the Lower Angles.
Guardian Angels:- Guardian Angles are lower Angles who have shown promise with light magic and have high spiritual forces. They have to go through hundreds of years of schooling to become a fully fledge Guardian Angel. The school is ran by the Arch Angels. Any Lower Angel can apply to Guardian Angel school but any not showing any promise and kicked out of the school. There are scouts who will roam the areas of the Lower Angles to se if anyone can pick up Spiritual Force from others and they are recruited immediately. Lower Angles:- These are the lowest Angles in Heaven, these are usually the ones who appear in humans visions and carry messages from the heaven to humans. They are the bottom of heaven society and live among the few humans who make it as far as heaven. They have no need to eat or drink and live happy content lives, these are the workers bees of Heaven.
Humans in Heaven:- Humans can only make it to heaven after achieving a high level in purgatory, if they are killed in purgatory and are useful there aswell as achieving a high level there then they will go to heaven. If they die in Purgatory and haven't achieved what is required to enter heaven then they turn to dust and that is the end of their existence in all worlds. For humans who are in heaven it's possible to start a new family and carry on an immortal life there.
PURGATORY
This is where all the good or not so bad souls go of decease people, animals and anything else that can from Earth. The 'bad' people are pulled straight through the gates of hell when they die, there is only one other place for bad souls to go but that is explained later. In purgatory there area many different areas divided into 4 main areas north, east, south and west. There are many different towns, cultures and languages in each of these towns. Where you were born on Earth doesn't dictate where you will end up in purgatory. In outer circle of Purgatory is where all souls find themselves after passing away, there are some towns which are very nice and high class and others which are slums, but none are a fantastic place to be. It's more of a scene from long forgotten times, which only exist in books rather then the time we live in today. Any soul from any where in the world can end up in any part of Purgatory which makes it incredibly hard to families to meet up on the other side, some souls try and never find their lost love ones, but it is possible if you keep looking. Because out the amount of souls here the size of purgatory is incomprehensible also. In the center in Purgatory is a place called the Inner Circle, this is where the Shimigami are. It is possible for normal human souls to become shinigami, a person can tell if they have the ability to become shinigami when they start to get hungry. Normal humans souls in Purgatory only need water but some souls can gain the ability to use Spirit Force and become shinigami themselves. It is also possible for people to be born in purgatory, life goes on there as it would on Earth. People born into Purgatory are more likely to be able to become Shinigami then those straight from Earth. The few exceptions are the people on Earth who already have some level of clairvoyance, these will find it easy to become shinigami as they are already using Spiritual force on Earth, although it is nothing compared to the power of a real Shinigami.
Shinigami:- There Inner Circle is where the Shinigami live and train, these consist of 'outsiders' - people from outer purgatory and Noble families which were born into the world of Shimigamis. There are 13 captains and 13 lieutenants, these thirteen houses have their own subordinates their are 10 ranking officers in each 'house' 1 being the captain 2 being the lieutenant and then down to 10, the rest are just average subordinates who showed no massive promise but can always progress. The Number 1 Captain is the strongest in Purgatory and ranks almost as highly as an Angel, the other captains are of different levels but number 2 Captain isn't necessarily stronger then number 13. To become a Shimigami Captain a Shinigami must either 1. Be appointed by 3 or more other Captains, 2. Defeat the old Captain in a one on one death match, or 3. Be appointed by 'The Angel'. Any soul from any part of the outer circle who has the ability to use spiritual force can apply to become a shinigami. Noone is accepted unless they have that quality. The Captains can appoint their own Lieutenants and subordinates from any groups. Each 'house' boasts that all in their team pose a particular skill. It is the role of the Shinigami to collect lost souls, souls that are trapped on earth for what ever reason and bring them to Purgatory, they are different to the Grim Reapers. They are also in charge of making any 'Poltergeists' cross over rather then returning to their own plane when they invade Earth (more on that later). At the very center of the Inner Circle is the Court of the Angel, this court is where every single decision about the Purgatory is made and no Shinigami dares defy any order that comes from that court. Inside the court are two round tales center round a white circle on the floor, the court has 55 members who received the orders and messages from an Angel directly from heaven. These 55 then confer and pass the information or orders on to all in the Inner Circle, by messenger doves. Shinigami posses a very skills, the can use Light and Demon Magic as well as having a weapon which has it's own personal abilities depending on the shinigami's skills. These weapons can achieve 3 levels, which can be achieved after years of practice and an understanding between the soul of the weapon, and it's beholder, no two weapons are the same, each has a name, an ability and a look.
POLTERGEIST
Poltergeists are bad souls which have escaped Hell to another plane where they live their lives, not much is know about the world they live in as none have made it there and come back again, it's called the Vortex. These bad souls are transformed in to monsters when their ill emotions and bad natures take complete control of them. These creatures live by feeding on the spiritual force of others, they frequently cross over to the human plane to feast on humans who have high spiritual forces or the souls who are trapped there. A soul which is consumed by a Poltergeists becomes a poltergeist and there is no going back once you have become one. A poltergeist, which has been created by others, isn't necessarily a bad soul usually just a meal for something evil, when these are slain by the Shimigami they usually cross over to Purgatory. And Poltergeists who are bad souls either from the start or became bad get pulled straight through to hell. A human soul that hasn’t crossed over will eventually become a Poltergeist even if they have no bad feeling or ill will, there is a maximum stay on Earth of 200 years on the 200th day of lingering on Earth that soul will turn into a Poltergeist and there is no way to change that.
EARTH
This is where we live our short lived waiting to be moved onto the next. Not any people see the other side to our world, the trapped souls the invading poltergeists the Shimigami or the Grim Reapers. But they are always here watching and waiting some defending, some waiting to cross over, some waiting for wreak havoc and the rest harvesting souls.
HELL
Hell is not the bad place that we all imagine it. It is very much the same as heaven for all who are born there.
Condemned souls:- True enough hell is where all of the bad souls are left in torment for they’re now immortal lives but this is an area which is kept away from the main living areas of Hell called the ‘sea of souls’. All bad souls after being dragged through the gates of Hell and plummeted to the boiling water of the ‘sea of souls’ where they are burned and scolded over and over, this isn’t a temperature that any can get used to no matter how many years they spend there. It is a sea that has the ability to change the temperature for each individual soul, which is in it. Getting hotter and hotter as the souls get used to the temperature of it. Souls aren’t just left to roast in the boiling sea salt water, they are taken out by the many workers and used as slaves for building monuments and buildings, and of course sent to the torture chambers to be tortured with various different methods which are usually gruesome and extremely painful.
The Royal Family:- Originally only consisted of Angle Number 4 Lucifer, contrary to belief Lucifer isn’t a fallen Angel, he was the only Angle out of the Court of 10 who had enough courage to stand up and take on the role of being the King of Hell after God created it. Being and Angel of war in Heaven helped him, he does have a blood thirst which helps him fulfill his role as King. He is gentle, a loving and caring, a very compassionate person who loves his family dearly but he is an expert in making human souls repent for their sins on Earth. Ishtar is the Queen of Hell and she is the first and only person from Hell that Lucifer has ever taken for his wife. They have now three children Ara the oldest daughter, Vaziel the first born son, and Meilin the youngest daughter. These three have their own qualities, Ara is probably where the word Evil came from, she is rarely seen by any as the Royal Family keep her locked away behind special spiritual force fields, so that she can’t reek havoc on Earth and the Planes purely because she was bored at the time. Vaziel who is just like his Father, soft gentle very loving and caring but does what has to be done and what is expected of him. Meilin is to young to be sure of what her personality will become but so far she seems to be very much like Vaziel. Vaziel and Meilin also have a different look to Ara, which has lead to the suspicions about their birth.
Court of the Damned:- This is a court for all of the men of the Higher Archie families to convene and discuss any issues regarding Hell and where the decisions are made, the highest member of the court is of course Lucifer, all decisions are final only if he approves them. High Archie:- The higher Archie are all the noble families of Hell, Hell is very much the same as Purgatory the Higher Archie families are separated from the lower families by huge walls which are protected by spiritual boundaries.
Court of Reapers:- This is a court for all of the Grim Reapers, these live inside the Higher Archie boundaries but are not necessarily from Noble families like the others who live inside these walls. The highest Grim Reaper is Rath and he is the only one of them who is aloud inside the Court of the Damned and has a seat there next the Lucifer, Rath is seen as Lucifer’s personal adviser. A Grim Reapers Role is very different to that of the Shinigami. Reapers take the souls out of dieing bodies and make them cross over.
Lower Class:- The lower classes of Hell live very much the same as the lower classes of Purgatory it is also possible for them to become Grim Reapers but they have to show a very high amount of Demon Magic to even be considered. Jobs such as collecting souls for the sea, building and the other mundane jobs are about the maximum of what someone of this side of hell can achieve.
HOW THINGS CAME TO BE: GOD PLAN
In the beginning God created a few Angles, after them came Hell and then in-between was the Earth which he created for Man to enjoy. Realizing how needy and easy to control man was he created more angles who could carry his messages to them, this was after many failed attempts to communicate with them himself. It was then that the guidelines were drawn up, good souls when to heaven and bad souls went to hell. Heaven and Hell worked closely together sharing Intel and information on souls so that when people were about to die the reapers would know where to send them. God found that having souls going to only two places wasn’t efficient, both were getting full and humans showed no signs of dieing out. Something he hadn’t banked on when he created them was that this species had an uncanny knack for surviving no matter how many disasters he threw their way. And so Purgatory was created an endless expanse of towns for all the souls to go when they passed away, the rules of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ where loosened slightly so Hell’s over crowding problem would also be sorted out. In Purgatory the Angles noted that some souls were using spiritual force, in the beginning of this noone knew what to do with them, was there a role for human souls in the after life? It also became apparent that these souls were starting new lives and families of their own in Purgatory and these second-generation souls we more prone to being able to use spiritual force. After Heaven received communication from Lucifer about the problems the Reapers were having with reaping souls and chasing down the souls that were still clinging to Earth rather then crossing over, the role of the Shinigami was born. And because of the human souls endless need want to cling to life even after they are dead the Poltergeists were created their own plane of malice.
THE PEACE TALKS
The peace talks with Heaven had been running for hundreds of years, this was all over a civilization called Atlantis. Gods fondest Human City, the people there showed great promise they had technology, food, water, order and places to stay. These people were Earth’s biggest triumph and they were Pacifists. They traveled the globe and set about populating it and teaching people they came across the way, which they had learned, the hopes for mankind were great. Atlantis was a piece of Heaven on Earth and these people were so enlightened that they could even stand in God presence without suffering the fate of the others that had only heard his voice. So Atlantis was the place for parties of all kinds and especially birthday parties. It was God birthday and all the Angles in Heaven the Atlantians and the majority of Hell (not the bad souls the people who live there) were getting ready for the celebrations, the only one not there was Lucifer. He as at home with his then 4 year old daughter Ara his first born daughter, she was a very awkward child and was refusing to go no matter which way he tried to encourage her. God was outraged that his son wasn’t at his Birthday, he was so angry that he accidentally sunk Atlantis by creating a cataclysmic eruption of the few volcanoes that were on Earth at the time sending the Earth back to the cave people. God had forgotten that the Earth was heavily influenced by his moods while he was there. Lucifer went to Heaven to speak to his Father who was sulking because of his mistake and they hadn’t talked since. After Vaziel was born Lucifer tried to speak to his Father and wanted to show him is grandson but God refused to talk to him still, Lucifer wanted to get things back to normal between him and his Father but was to chicken to try and do it himself so he sent his wife Ishtar to go and talk to him on his behalf.
SPIRITUAL FORCE
Spiritual force, or aura is the power or magnetic field that all people have surrounding their bodies, it's this that souls from the other planes are drawn to. People with high Aura are more susceptible to hearing, seeing or communicating with spirits. The aura is mainly contained in the shell which is the Human body when the shell is shed at the end of life, the soul is freed and so is the spiritual force, some people can't handle the power the have and it implodes and dissipates back into the soul making the person become a normal soul, others learn to use this ability and can become Shinigami.
PLANES
Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and The Vortex aren't where they are imagined to be, i.e. Heaven in the sky and Hell in the center of the Earth. These 4 other planes coincide with the earth, true enough Heaven is to the North, Hell is to the South, Purgatory is to the West and The Vortex is to the East. These planes are accessed through gates, these are similar to what people speculate a wormhole is, the gates open a space in matter so that it becomes possible to travel from one plane to the next. Which is why no matter how close to the end of the universe you get you will never find heaven, and no matter how many times you see the center of the earth you will never find hell. The other two are little know so there is no way to sum them up in such a sense. The people who come from these planes can open the gate to get to the others. Humans have no ability and can only get to Purgatory when they are sent through by the Grim Reapers, or for the trapped souls the Shimigami. However only God, the Court of 10, and the Court of the Damned can open a gate to all four, it is impossible for a shimigami or a poltergeist to open a gate to Heaven or Hell.
FAUX BODIES
There are certain people from the other Planes who can reside on Earth these people are Angels, Grim Reapers, High Class members of Hell and Shinigami. If they choose for whatever reason to stay on Earth then a faux body is created round them so that they can safely stay in Earths atmosphere, as it is a very different atmosphere to their planes.WHERE THE FAMILY FIT IN AND A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THEM
Vaziel:- Prince of Darkness, the first born son to the royal family. It will be his job to take over the Rule of Hell when his father retires. By no means ready for the role, Vaziel is slow and sometimes stupid but he isn’t a quitter whenever he decided to do something he dose it to the full of his abilities. He realized a long time a go that he fate was decided from the moment he was born and works hard so he can be a good ruler to the people of Hell.
Rath:- Rath is a Grim Reaper primarily, he looks after the East Midlands of the UK. After the death of his wife and daughter he decided to end his life, it was at this point, the last moments of his life that Lucifer came to him, tricking him and so rather then Rath crossing over he was pulled to the depths of Hell and has been in service there ever since. He only blames himself for being tricked but knowing that he will never be able to rejoin his wife and daughter in the after life is a constant thorn in his side. He was a soft and gentle person but has become hard and cold over the years. He hates having to take the lives of others but does his job regardless as punishment to himself. Born in Hokkaido Japan his human name was Ichimaru.
Kuro:- Is from a Noble family, her father is a member of the Court of the Damned and so she has special privileges like speaking to the royal family like they were normal people. She is classed as one step below a Princess, Both she and Neko will be tired as suitors for Vaziel even if it is against their will.
Neko:- Neko was born into a low class Demon family, she was abandoned at birth because the family couldn’t afford to feed her and was found by Kuro’s dad, who took her in and treated her like his own daughter. Neko always knew that this wasn’t her real family. She attends a High Class school in Hell where Vaziel and Kuro both also attend. This is where they are taught all the things they would need to know. She is hoping to grow up to be a master in torture even though this is a job, which is seen, lower then her current families standing.
Meilin:- Princess of Darkness, in hell there wouldn’t be a single person who would dare talk down to this little lady, she is a blue blood through and through. She would never be able to sit on the Throne of Hell because she is a girl, not even if Vaziel died or was killed. She is only aloud to marry someone of very high standing or a Prince.
Ishtar:- Now the queen of Hell the single highest ranking female member in Hell. She was born into a Higher Archie family, which already had a standing in the Court of the Damned, and was chosen out of many other suitors by Lucifer himself to become his wife. She is a diplomat of peace between all the planes including Earth.
Fahrenheit:- Fahrenheit came from a very low lower angel family, he showed promise with light magic and spiritual force and was enrolled in Guardian Angel school but Court of 10 Angle, number 5, herself. They had a chance meeting when Fahrenheit was looking for food and wandered into forbidden areas, rather then receiving the usual punishment of Death Number 5 took a shine to his simple nature and took him under her wing. He’s currently on a time out from lessons because he got bored.
