There is a secret war between Heaven and Hell, fought over the the fate of humanity. One that will probably last for as long as humanity itself.
And while some angels are born in heaven, others are born to human parents, in mortal vessels, with what is called a Shard of Heaven within them. Some live their whole lives unaware of their true nature, until natural causes claim their vessel and they ascend to Heaven, while others manage to ascend during their mortal lives. And all of them possess the powers of heaven bestowed upon them to guide humanity towards a better future, as well as to curtail infernal influence on earth.
But this is a secret only few know.
Your characters lived mostly ordinary lives up until this point, completely unaware of the secret war that is fought over the fate of humanity. But that is about to change, as the shard of heaven within their soul is going to manifest itself, slowly, until at last their ascension is complete. And then, how will they cope with the realisation of their true nature? With their newfound powers and reponsibilities? That remains to be seen.
In short, this game will be about seemingly ordinary people who suddenly discover that they were chosen to wield celestial powers of heaven and protect the world against the forces of hell, in a modern, urban fantasy world. It will be taking place in the city of Chicago, starting in the year 2025. The game will be using a homebrew system, starting very simple and gradually adding rules as needed once your characters discover more of their abilities.
Each player character will start with their own personal story that will involve their ascension and the discovery of their true nature, as well as the secret world hidden from the sight of ordinary mortals, gradually transitioning into a group story about a group of newly ascended angels fighting against demons and other creatures of darkness.
If this sounds like a game you'd like to take part in, feel free to join!
