The Nature of The Game

A dark science-fantasy horror future in which the players contend with one another and others for power and influence. Thousands of years after an apocalyptic war, people live in a new dark age; they milk their cows, plow their fields and come nightfall, give prayers to the All-Seeing. But while their lives may seem simple, among them walk those that have kept the dark technology of the First Age alive and hidden. For two thousand years, these silent ghosts have watched over the mortal masses from the shadows, blessing the virtuous with long life and rewarding the malicious with swift death.

What You Can Play

To enter the world of Lesser Shades of Evil, players take the role of one of the Angelions, immortal guardians that keep the people of the world free from war and tyranny. But a recent treachery has divided them, leaving them scattered, leaderless, and increasingly unpredictable; as digital ghosts they now roam the Earth, wandering from flesh to flesh, known by many names and possessing many forms. They may speak from the mouth of a child but bite with the jaws of a snake; they may walk using the legs of men, fly over cloud using the wings of birds or swim in the seas using the fins of fish.
