MISFITS - Story Overview -Draft 01

So here is a rough idea about the plot and premise of the game. I'll keep posting further updates on the story and game documentations - in the not too distant future....


 OVERVIEW


Story of the game would be mainly presented to the player via the voice-over of a narrator, who introduces himself as “Traveler”.

Story
The year is BS 666. (Its a time in future where the calendar era of AD has been supplanted by BS - Blessed Saga)
This WONT be a dystopian or post apocalyptic setting- There’s enough of that shit already
As a matter of fact, world is all sunshine & rainbows (In your face, Balboa). Love is just all around in the air and everyone seems to be living a perfect, happy life.
This world is governed by a single regime, with the charismatic siblings, “Gabbi” (f) & “Mike” (m) as rulers of each hemisphere.

Back story
Ages ago a civil war broke out in Heaven. The Archangels Gabriel and Michael, teamed up with the most powerful of the Heavens host - The Seraphims, and killed God. The next powerful beings - Cherubims, were also slaughtered along with the rest of the arch-angels and the minor angels.
Seraphims became in charge of all creation, with the 2 archangels playing errand boys for them. But without Daddy-o around to put food on the table, they had to feed on the souls of the dead from all realms. Seraphims particularly preferred the juicy-n-crunchy human soul more than any other, but it put their diabetics(Only disease that is common through out all the realms and as old as creation itself) through the roof because of the “free will” content in human souls. Hence they send the 2 archangels to Earth to rule the humans and eliminate freewill from their souls.
The 2 archangels entered the realm of Earth, typically in Biblical fashion as 'brother and sister'. Gabriel assumed the name Gabbi and Michael became Mike, marking the beginning of a new era(BS). Over the course of time, together they brainwashed humans out of their freewill. Humans evolved into an obedient race of sycophantic slaves to the archangels and proclaimed both as their saviors. (Traveler will be referring to the existing humans as ‘Suckups’ throughout the game). Eventually Mike became ruler of the Southern hemisphere and Gabbi commanded the Northern hemisphere. Together they were worshiped by the Suckups and referred to as ‘The Duo’.

Premise
Traveler somehow seem to be immune to the mind-controlling powers of the Duo. He has been traveling through time, recruiting certain individuals with specific characteristics - those who are extremely rebellious in following the accepted social norms- because they’re the only ones who can block out the Duo’s mesmerizing powers and stay focused on the mission. 'The mission' being -  kill the Duo and the Seraphims, thereby freeing the human race.
For doing that the team need to sought out the help of one last Cherubim - who survived due to the fact that he was not in Heaven during the war. Early stages of the game would be about the team's search to find that powerful being who was banished ages ago from Heaven, known then as Lucifer.
Also joining them in their mission would be a character called ‘Jay C’, who is later revealed to be the second-coming reincarnation of Jesus Christ, who is hell-bend on avenging the death of his Father and reclaim his rightful throne.
