The Morning Star has risen on the Dawn of Darkness. Terribly corny as it sounds, it marks a chapter in human history that none will dare forget.
Ten years have passed since the fall of the Regulator Government, and now the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ironically harbor the last small hope that good still exists in the world. The splintering factions of rebelling humans and the bickering Regulator and Faithful angels could not hope to survive a war against the unified strength of Hell, so when the demons swept through, few could make a stand. The rebellion of the Children was short-lived and the Regulator reign crumbled beneath a Fallen leader. Only the Faithful Horsemen could hold their ground, but four mocking Beasts, let alone the entire army of Hell, are enough of a challenge for the Horsemen. The odds were not in their favor.
So the Angels did the best thing for humanity: they hid underground as the city burned, trying to save all that they could along the way, and watched as Lucifer raised Pandemonium and set it in the middle of what once was Lazarus, the angel capital.
The Regulator Regime may be gone --just like everyone wanted-- but no one wanted them to go like this.

Its called Member Canons and it pretty much involves create character profiles based on each other OOC. Sign-ups end on the 10th! The more players we have the funnier it will be!
2-01-- HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAGA! Everyone should shower her with sacrificial kittens or face the wrath of the birthday queen. In honor of Saga, I suppose I should warn everyone that there will be an account clean out this weekend. Accounts that haven't posted since their acceptance will be deleted. On another note: why must job hunting be the hardest endeavor ever? (PS: If you find a spelling error, help us out by posting it in the thread in the suggestion board)
1-27-- HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATHY! *cracks up at banner* Ahem. Sincerest apologies to my staff and members for being less than active these past few days. I got myself sick enough sleep upwards of 15 hrs a day, but DO NOT FEAR MY DEARS! I HAVE RETURNED WITH A VENGANCE! I'll be lurking majorly to burn through PMs, profiles that have been patiently waiting, and catching up on posts that I owe<3
1-21-- It's been a week since we've re-opened and I love what I've been seeing. Great profiles people, very impressive *nodnod* Now get to posting! Don't think you have to wait for anyone to have some posting fun. Once we really get some characters accumulated, we'll try to get some SPTs rolling for you, but for now go pop them board cherries!! you know you want to
1-14-- BRSW HAS REOPENED! All characters have been wiped, but those of you that want to bring your characters back, we'd love to have them! Just make sure you skim the appropriate race info, adapt them appropriately, and use the new profile template. There's also a new character creation rule under the application process. IM SO EXCITED<3
1-14-- WE HAVE SKIN! Everyone should praise Rocan-can for working so hard on it. Tomorrow, er, later today technically, will be our official grand re-opening! This, however, is a soft opening for all of our lovely stalkers. We won't be doing any real advertising until at least the weekend.
Welcome to Blood Red, Snow White! After about a year of role-playing fun, we've successfully refurbished and reconstructed the whole of the BRSW universe --including the required reading. We've seriously paired down and clarified the information. Check out the index for important threads regarding your start, or restart, here on BRSW.
Guest Friendly! --Alright, us admins like to get our members involved. When we try to shake things up around the site so this is where we're going to put all of our threads asking what you might want to see. Tell us all fun things to help make this place more enjoyable for you. At the same time, if you're new and got a question or have a suggestion that might help us improve our little community, we'd l.o.v.e. to hear it. Mostly importantly, watch this board for Site Events and Contests. Every now and then we do like some OOC fun~<3
If you've read through the Info Index and the appropriate race thread, this board will help you create a character. Each race has its own application so read them carefully. Small questions can be answered by many of our lovely members, but big questions should be PMed to a staffer.
As replacement for cloud muse and cloud heartbeats, we bring you sky social link! this board is for the planning and showcasing of plots, no mater how complex. this is the only place non-accepted members can post~<3
this board includes everything written within in the realm, from instant messaging and texting to flashback and low muse areas. there are also semi-ooc options for character stalking!
What were originally a small network of structured catacombs grew into a vast network of tunnels and chambers due to the efforts of a number of angels and humans. As the network spread beneath Moscow, more migrated underground desparate for a place to call their own, if not hide, in a world of shadows. Eventually, the whole system became an organized effort to help the whole of humanity fend off the demons.
The hub of human activity, Moscow is no longer a thriving city of culture. Fear pervades the cobblestone streets, deciet fills the dark corners and empty alleys, and paranoia sends chills up spines at the rustle of yet another piece of windblown garbage. The people that live here do their best to attract as little attention to themselves as possible to just keep living their "normal" lives.
In Greek mythology, the river Styx separated Earth from the Underworld, just like this modern day version of the blood-red body-clotted river. Originally known as the Moscow River, the River Styx severs Moscow in two distinct halves: the north shore with its traidional, albeit run-down russian establishments still belongs to the humans whereas the south shore seems to have run amok with demons and a real life hell, squalid living conditions and sordid company included.
Everyone expected fire and clouds of doom to surround the raised bit of hell, but the sky couldn't be bluer and the land less burnt, as if Lucifer wanted his castle to stand out like a sore thumb. The miniature mountain of spiked obsidian and sulpher that houses nearly the entire demonic population can be seen --and smelled-- for miles, an unhappy and constant reminder that the devil is real and he rules the world.
Originating from france, the Cirque Du Deux has quickly become one of the most infamous circuses in the world for their fascinating variety of humans, angels, and demons, all working together in an odd form of peace. The huge camp has since moved to Pandemonium at the beckon of Lucifer, but that doesn't mean Marcel is going to run his camp any differently. After all, the show must go on!
Only the brave or the stupid venture outside Lazarus on foot. Unpredictable flurries of ashes turn the ground grey and airy until trees wrapped in shadowvines stirr the blanket or burnt death. Or was that an Itatsi out to devour flesh and taint souls black? Nothing pleasant stalks these lands; only creatures of shadow.
Lavished from bottom to top, the suites of the bunkers are everything anyone could ask for --no one pinched pennies when decorating this hotel. Each suite comes with a king size bed, a plasma screen, a personal bath with a jacuzzi tub, and a small balcony with a view, all themed according to each floor. The entire top three floors of the bunkers have been reserved as apartments for their more permanent guests, but anyone can rent one of their rooms, granted they get more expensive the higher up you request the room.
Solyanka Strip has nothing on this street of sin. With demons running the show, anything and everything is a go, go, go! Its of little and less shock to find drunkards staggering between bars, kids romping through puddles of blood in the street, prostitues entertaining in alleys, and all under the glitz and glam of the Run.
Klochkov isn't all high-live and night-life. Behind the bright lights of Tantalus Run creep the poorest of Russia's poor. If those livinghere aren't scrounging through the Pitt's garbage, they're picking the pockets of the prostitues if they're not already working the corner. The slums are full of the too weak to find the Underground and too fearful to disobey Lucifer --or the gang that has grown out of the darkness.
Okay, I'm a sentimental pack-rat that can't get rid of all of the hard work everyone has put into the site. The whole board is open to we can all fall prey to the nostalgia when we're waiting for posts. By popular demand, all threads in here are public<3
