Idea: Shadow and Light


Summary:

Many know heaven as a place of peace and rest. Those who have faith are sent there after death, and remain there until the end of time. Same goes with hell; but that is for those who fail to have any faith that all. These two worlds are notorious for being polar opposites. One is good, one is bad. One is high in the sky, the other is buried too far underground for mortals to ever hope of reaching.

Funny part is, these realms aren't all that different.

The story outlines the lives of two similar, yet very different, characters.

A citizen of Heaven, and a princess of Hell.

There is a race of Angels known as the "Pure Ones." They were born inside of Heaven, and have been citizens of it since their first breath; unlike the regular Angels, whose souls were mere immigrants. Our first character, Levi, was born as one of these entities.

Once upon a time, Satan had a kid. His only child, a daughter, who seemed to cause chaos wherever she went. Described as "cat-like" by her peers in all dimensions, the girl is famous for her acts of mischief. This is our second character, Seras.

These two girls have one thing in common; they were both sent away from their homes and landed in the Human world.

Well, Levi left by her own choice. She was tired of the pristine and prestigious lifestyle of the Angels. It was just...too perfect, too strange. Nothing ever seemed to go wrong, which ultimately bothered her. Every time that the girl got a chance to glance down at the mortal realm, she would only see problems. Wars, famine, murders, racism; you name it, she saw it. The Angel thought that it was wrong, that she would get to live such a perfect life, while the world below was so flawed and awful.

Unfortunately, she was the only one who thought this way. Her relatives and neighbors merely waved the matter away, claiming that it 'wasn't their problem' and that 'those pesky humans brought it all upon themselves.' Levi refused to fall into the same line of thinking as they. Once she had begun to think differently, the young Angel noticed how synchronized everyone else was.

 No one questioned anything, and just accepted everything. They never thought for themselves, and only followed the same flow as everyone else. They might as well just share a body and get it over with.

So, she left. Without another thought, Levi jumped from Heaven and landed in the Mortal world. She condemned herself to the title of "Fallen Angel."

Now, onto the Demon Cat.

After ripping Jesus' robe, and basically every curtain in the Holy Palace, to shreds, Seras is banished from Heaven. Whoops. This really isn't a problem for her, since the realm isn't her home anyways. But, after a heated argument with her father about responsibilities and such, she takes the next prank a little too far. She sparks a war between two minor demon colonies, and ultimately causes them to kill each other off. While the girl had done this several times before, enough was enough.

She was temporarily banished from Hell as well, and sent to the mortal realm as punishment.

Trapped inside of human hosts, the two girls wander the Earth in similar situations. They are introduced to each other through Lucifer; who is Levi's biological brother and the "glorified babysitter" of Seras. Wanting to keep an eye on the two simultaneously, he forces the duo to "coincidentally" meet.

Unknown of each other's identities, they become fast friends. In fact, they don't figure out their origins until years after their first meeting. If anything, their bond strengthens because of their polar opposite pasts. 

One thing I should mention. When an Angel falls, their wings gradually darken from white to pitch black. The process takes a while, well over a single human lifetime. While an Angel's wings are still gray, they can be "purified" and transitioned back into white. However, the process is very painful, and is something that is heavily avoided. Until the features turn completely black, one could still be "saved." Because of this, there is a large hunt for the Fallen Angel. The others search feverishly for Levi, which is why she must do everything in her power to not get caught. 

Seras promises to give her shelter in hell the moment that her sentence is over. Until then, they are forced to hide out in the mortal world.

Oh yeah, there's also this dumb butt mortal who makes a contract with Seras. The demon only agreed to it because she got some Bakugan out of it. Silly, I know. But, you must keep in mind that the daughter of Satan is like 5 in demon years.


Characters:

Name: Levi
Nicknames: Tenshi. Bird-girl. Barbie. Defective Perfectionist. Dirt Wings. Lev. Angel Lady. God's Right Hand Idiot.
Age (Mortal): 5; 15
Physical characteristics: Long blonde hair that she prefers to keep tied back and out of her eyes. Pale skin, sky blue eyes. Wingspan is around 12 feet; and the feathers slowly darken from a pure white to black. By the time she is "15," Levi's wings are a light gray.
Personality: Optimistic and cheerful; always seems to have a smile on her face. Can be really misleading when she is angry or sad because the girl had a habit of masking it behind a grin (Basically Seras is the only one to see past it).Really flipping shy around strangers. Whenever Levi swears or drops a somewhat innapropirate joke, its really funny because she has this eternally innocent face that really throws you off. Has a habit of ignoring names and just plain calling people by whatever nickname seems fit. But if she uses your real name, then you'd better run.
Quote: "There is a reason why I left. Its stupid to live in a Utopia when its just an illusion."

Name: Seras
Nicknames: Demon Cat. Neko. Her Purriness. Purrincess. Whiskers. The Pawsome One. Chocoholic. Hellgirl. The Devil's Little Girl. Brat.
Age (Mortal): 5; 15
Physical characteristics: Jet black hair that is cut just below her shoulders. Amber eyes that look red in certain lighting. Has a mischivous smile that is almost cat-like. Tends to like more comfortable and durable clothing. But, no matter what, she will always have holes in the legs of her pants. (Seras likes to crawl around on her knees, okay? Its not that weird!)
Personality: Quiet and a bit distant from society. She's the kind of person who would rather hole up inside on a nice day with a book and some snacks instead of take a step outside. Cold towards people that she doesn't know, but very protective of the friends she does have. Seras has a very cat-like personality. Seriously, stick a string in front of her face and she'll instantly lunge for it. And if you tick her off, beware of her claws. Chica will not hesitate to scratch you. Oh yeah, and if you pull a prank with her, then you are instantly on the Demon Cat's good side.
Quote: "Even if you're an immortal deity, life is too short to just sit around and be boring. I mean, really, mortal up and enjoy yourself."

Name: Lucifer
Age (Mortal): 19
Nicknames: Lucy. Glorified Babysitter. Waste of Feathers. Fallen F***-up. Cinderella's Cat.
Physical characteristics: Short dark brown hair. Pale like his sister, with darker blue eyes than her own. Scar under his eye that he recieved the day that he escaped from Heaven (He may have fallen on his face after jumping). Wingspan is around 16 feet; feathers are a pitch black.
Personality: Lazy. Complains a lot. Loves his sis more than anything, but honestly can't stand her demon bestie (Who he has to watch over anyways). Has a habit of sticking his nose in everyone's business. Can be a kind and caring brother, but is a stuck up nutshell most of the time. But, despite his reluctance to do things, Lucifer always gets the job done.
Quote: "If you try to fight against the Riptide head on, then you'll surely get swept out to sea. The secret is attacking it from an angle; going with the flow until you see an opportunity to break free."

Name: Elizabeth Hemmel
Age: 16
Nicknames: Eli. Liz. Mistress. Dog girl. Miss Huntress. Rambo. Gun girl. Wolfy. Dog-breath. Flea-bag. Mortal-girl. Peasant creature.
Physical characteristics: Long brown hair and hazel eyes.  A bit shorter than Levi, but not by much; still taller than Seras. Is a bit on the girly side, but doesn't go out of her way to doll-up. Pretty dang innocent looking, almost as much as Levi. Always wears a chain necklace with a bullet-shaped pendant.
Personality: Pretty nice and kind of socially awkward; but not as much as the other two. Her voice is pretty shaky by nature; which eventually rubs off on her two inhuman friends and it becomes a habit. Really open about her emotions. She learned pretty early on that the other two were an angel and a demon, but brushed it off for almost an entire year. She's the kind of person who will make a contract with a demon, and possibly get her soul taken away, just for the hell of it. Oh yeah, and she really likes to hunt. And dogs. Can't forget the dogs.
Quote: "So...if I understand this correctly... you have an Army of Angels hunting you down, and that one is destined to rule Hell... Huh. Neat."
