Intro:
Netherworlds. Dozens, hundreds, maybe even thousands. Each with it's own King, or Queen, or gender ambiguous creature type thing as it's ruler. These planes of existence vary in shapes, sizes and make ups.
One plane might be ruled over by demons, another angels. One might be ruled over by anthropomorphized Hedgehogs. (HA!) The walls that separate these worlds are thin, easily pierced by those with the will, technology or raw power to do so. But this story focuses on a collection of these Netherworlds.
An intertwining of Demonic Overlords and their lands, these Netherworlds sat nestled, like neighbors, holding all manner of demons, monsters and wandering adventurers. Above them all sat parallel Heavens, with hordes of Angels and souls of departed Warriors who chose a more righteous path.
Travel between these particular Netherworlds has become commonplace under the unity of one Overlord Zetta. Ships, teleportation systems and the occasional ride on a sleepy Babylon allowing all manner of creatures to wander back and forth between the realms.
The realms of Zetta, Alexander and Pram remain the largest and most powerful of the Netherworlds (In that order). Zetta rules with his now Queen Salome, one of the only joint Overlord ruler-ships known to exist, and as such, is the most powerful. The soldiers of Zetta's great army, no longer expected to march a never ending war against other Overlords (save for the occasional bought with Alexander) are essentially free to go about their own ways.
But should an Overlord ever be in need, all Warriors of any size and stature were expected to answer the call.
Despite the relative peace, in the midst of null space, the emptiness between realms, something stirred, and grew. Something that threatened to consume even the greatest of Overlord's realms.
Who would be there to stand beside the Overlords should this evil come to fruition?
The walls of reality were always tenuously held together in this point of time and space, but as of late, it has become even more delicate, tears becoming more common and beings from realms not native to any Netherworld dropping in and out like uninvited house guests...
Combined with the shadow of a new threat, will these new visitors be allies or enemies? Will the Overlords of this realm be forced to fight a battle on two fronts or forge new alliances to save themselves?

Races:
Demons:
Demons come in various shapes and sizes, but only the Humanoid Demons are considered the true demons. (The more bestial looking ones are dubbed 'Monsters', even the intelligent ones.) While some (most often the females) have spear tipped tails and red eyes, not all do. The one definite feature that all Demons share are short, pointed ears.
Aside from that, their appearance can be anything from a small child to a rippling mass of muscles, wings, claws, fangs, horns and extra limbs. They all speak a language shared by humans, angels and the more intelligent monsters.
Angels:
Righteous, glorious, pillars of holy light and forgiveness.
Angels rarely embody any of those features. Instead, they tend to be superior, self important and look down upon both humans and demons, although in different ways. Humans they view as children that need to be protected and Demons as the embodiment of pure evil that need to be destroyed.
They find their views on the world to be flawless and rarely listen to anything else.
All Angels are winged humanoids (With normal ears) whose wings show their level of power. The larger the wings, the greater the power.
Humans:
The current dominant race of the planet Earth, Humans look very much like Angels sans the wings. While they rarely possess powers equal to that of Demons and Angels, it is sometimes possible for them to reach such levels. (Often with the assistance of their technology or spells.)
Despite what people may think, Humans are fairly common in the Netherworld, taking the form of Prinnies. A Prinny is a human who has been reincarnated as penance for sins in their mortal lives. It is also possible for a human to enter the Netherworld through spells, as a few rare cases of humans becoming Overlords or Grand Witches have been recorded.
Monsters:
Monsters is more of a definition then a race, covering everything from the more primitive demons such as Nekomata, to the rotting flesh of Zombies, to even the pathetically weak race of Prinnies. Even Succubus tend to be classified as Monsters due to the fact that their tails turn into razor toothed mouths. To be a monster is to be FEARED...or pathetic. One or the other.
Locations:
Zetta's Netherworld:
The military center of all Netherworld's. It is easily the largest both in population and mass, being ruled over by TWO Overlord's, it's technically Zetta and Salome's Netherworld, but Salome let's Zetta take the title and Zetta happily agrees.
Here you will find the highest variance in monster strengths, as well as the most different types. Ranging from casters, to brutes, to robots and animated vegetables. Anything can happen here.
Zetta's Netherworld contains the Vehicle Shop. Here adventurers can purchase vehicles for combat, travel or even to live in. Upgrades are readily available for those that can afford them, and anyone not trained in the proper use of the Wrench would need to come here for repairs.
Alexander, God of Destruction's Netherworld:
Young, powerful, full of energy and ego. Alexander embodies what you would expect from his title. Violence, flash and a big attitude. His world is no different. Expect colorful monsters, and a heavy storm theme here. Thunder Demons are the most common species here, but each of the more powerful ones tends to command a small army of their own.
Storms and natural disasters run rampant all over this Netherworld, much to Alex's amusement.
Here Alexander has his Battle Stadium. A living, breathing Warzone, it's often a great place to seek training against hordes of imported demons and monsters, or to settle a score in front of a vast audience. Sometimes Alexander himself will step into the ring to test out a particularly skilled Gladiator.
Pram's Netherworld:
Much more reserved then other Netherworld's, Pram's realm is a nexus of magic and mystery. Each area is living and breathing, a tree may spring to life and do a little jig, or a waterfall may suddenly change direction and turn into a geyser.
The enemies you find here will most likely be casters, physically weak but commanders of great magic. Those of you that don't do well with ranged opponents or the elements may want to steer away from this realm.
Pram's Netherworld contains the Arcanum Academy where the greatest Spell Casters gather to work on new spells and teach their skills to impressionable youths. Should you wish to learn magic, here would be where you would study.
Seedle's Underworld:
The Underworld, the Jail of the Damned. Even Demons die eventually, and when they do, Seedle greets them with a place all their own. Should you be struck down in a fight, this is most likely where your spirit will end up until your resurrected. You can try to escape Seedle's prisons, but few have ever managed such a feet.
Here you will find the Soul Collector, a place where you can find the souls of the dead, and resurrect them if you have the appropriate payment, and anchor for their spirits.
End of the Netherworld Tavern:
A mobile bar owned and operated by a gaggle of Prinnies and a Merchant and Chef team (Baiem and Barley). A great ship that holds far more patrons then you'd expect, EotNT has the best food and best All Prinny band in all the known Netherworlds.
If you're lucky, Desire, the Succubus Dancer, may entertain the dry throat's and hungry bellies with one of her shows.
Here you can pick up the latest news from the live feeds from all the Netherworld Newscasts, as well as find jobs from the bulletin board. Don't cause trouble, or you'll be bounced by the Prinny Super Bot!
(Services provided at all Netherworlds)
Hospitals: All Netherworlds are equipped with a Hospital to heal wounded and sell medicines. Pram's Netherworld currently has the best Hospital, as it is home to some of, if not the best, magical healers in existence.
Zetta's Netherworld has a larger Hospital which holds more standard forms of healing, such as doctors, nurses and lots and lots of drugs.
Alexander's Hospital tends to work more like a medic's union, primarily used to get Gladiator's back on their feet just long enough to finish the next round.
Seedle's Hospital is more like a Hospice, minus the hospitality.
Dimensional Gates: All Netherworlds have a handful of Dimensional Gates, but as of late they have become so popular and well traveled that all the Overlords have constructed buildings around their Dimensional Gates to prevent them from being abused or mistreated. Each one is guarded by some of the Overlord's minions to ensure that anyone the Overlord wishes not to leave, or live, does not use them.
If you're a wanted man, you won't be using a dimensional gate easily!
*As of late, the Dimensional Gate has been shown to have the power to open up doors to completely alternate realities. Bringing through Overlords from realms never before seen. (IE: Disgaea realms.)
Rules: Two characters per player, possibly a third if I think you're committed enough.
Each player is allowed ONE vehicle to start with. You either get a bike for travel, or a very weak combat vehicle. No super robots, or mega cannons, or nuclear missle launchers. :E
No god modding or meta gaming. That means no being impossible to hit, no narrorating the other other player taking damage, no killing another character without permission and no reading someone's mind.
Guidelines: The whole 'quest' system is not going to be super important to the plot, it's just something for people to do if they want a change of pace from the core story, or to use as an introduction. The rewards from the quests aren't going to be legendary weapons, but they may offer unique trinkets that you won't find elsewhere.
Feel free to PM me any questions that are not answered here.
That said.
Let the games begin.
