Characters
All characters must choose a "house" and a "faction". The seven Houses are similar to races in other RPGs, to clans in Vampire: The Masquerade and similar groupings in other White Wolf games. The different Factions are based on the demons' personal opinions and positions regarding the war, and can have been formed before the War or after their escape.
All demons can use special magical powers called Lore. All demons have an "apocalyptic form": this is an image of their true nature, their form before they were forced into mortal bodies. They can be demonic and horrible to behold, or angelic and beautiful (but no less terrifying to human eyes), depending on the Demon.
