A war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels were fighting against the dragon and its angels. But the dragon lost the battle. It and its angels were forced out of their places in heaven and were thrown down to the earth. That snake, who fools everyone on earth, is known as the devil and Satan.
At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be set free. He will fool the countries of Gog and Magog, which are at the far ends of the earth, and their people will follow him into battle. They will have as many followers as there are grains of sand along the beach, and they will march all the way across the earth.

The Road So Far ...
Thousands of years ago, long before anyone can remember, an Angel named Lucifer fell from Heaven, and was banished to the deepest depths of Hell, locked there by over six-hundred seals set by God and his warriors. There was a minor hitch in their planning, though, for it only took the breaking of sixty-six seals to release him from his prison.
The first seal broke when a righteous man shed blood in Hell. That righteous man was, Dean Winchester, who'd sold his soul to save the life of his brother, Sam. When divine intervention brought Dean back from the dead, they thought it was to stop Lillith, Lucifer's right-hand demon, from breaking the sixty-six seals it would take to release Lucifer from hell. The Brothers Winchester thought that killing Lillith was the answer.
They were lied to.
The angels were working a different angle: bringing about the destruction of the human race so they could bring paradise to earth. With help from Ruby, a demon who seemed to be on the side of good for whatever reason, Sam touched base with the demon within, a gift from the Yellow Eyed bastard who had fed his blood to Sam as a child, to strengthen himself so he would be able to defeat Lillith. He had no idea that Ruby had lied to him from the beginning, using him to kill Lillith and break the sixty-sixth seal, releasing Lucifer into the world.
Now ...
It's been almost thirty years since the seals were broken. The human race has been pushed to the brink of extinction, and they're barely hanging on. For the first time in recorded history, hunters from all over the world have banded together, what few of them are left, to try and find a way to bring an end to this terror, before the human race has been eliminated.
Sam and Dean are dead, have been for about ten years now. They fought a good fight, they did their best, but it just wasn't enough. Lucky for us, they didn't leave us completely unprotected. A new generation of hunters have started popping up, children of those who managed to survive the rise of the demons long enough to have kids.
We live in a broken world. Exorcising the demons just doesn't seem to help anymore; they just pop up a couple of hours later from one of the many gateways to hell that have opened up around the world. Working technology is few and far between. Finding a computer or a cell phone that works properly is difficult, unless you happen to know a techno-geek who can hack into the old SAT-COM systems and get you online.
There are whispers, though, of a gun that can do the unthinkable: kill demons. There are also rumors of a book that contains some of the most powerful exorcisms and rituals known to man, including one that can close all the gates to hell and send Lucifer back to the pit for good. Are the rumors too good to be true, or are they exactly what they say they are?
Lucifer Rising is a futuristic role-play, set in a post-apocolyptic world and based of the CW's hit TV show, Supernatural. |
