Genesis was a great battle between the Fallen Angels, Nephilim, and the loyal Heavenly Host. After the humans were kicked from Eden and made mortal, Fallen Angels had children with them. To rid the world of evil, Yahweh summons a Great Flood to kill off the Nephilim and unworthy Terrans.

*Genesis is based on the series of events of the same name from many Abrahamic Religions.*

## Background

### Banishment of Lucifer

During the War in Heaven, former Archangel Lucifer went around Heaven and turned morally dubious Angels against God and his light. In turn, one third of the Heavenly Host was reduced into Fallen Angels. A battle ensued between the Fallen and the Loyalists ending with the deaths of many Angels on both sides. At the end, Lucifer and the fallen were stripped of some of their Celestial powers and was banished out of Heaven and the Ether, and forced down to the Underworld, now carrying an intense hatred for all of creation.

### Evolution of Mankind

#### Lucy, the First Woman

Over time, Yahweh began experimenting with lifeforms on Earth, intentionally making them stronger, smarter, and more humanoid with each generation. He eventually escalated the evolution by traveling down to Earth and making contact with the early Hominid life. One in particular was a female Australopithecus, later named Lucy. God made contact with her, helping her stand upright, being the first of her kind to walk on two legs. This trait passed down to all other hominids until the true Terrans evolved.

#### Adam and Eve

Once the early Terrans and other Terran-like beings, such as Neanderthals (*homo neanderthalensis*), evolved, Yahweh chose two Terrans to live in a paradisal realm called the Garden of Eden, where they can live forever, not having to worry about sickness or death. Despite not being in the Garden, other humans were given the same immortality and contented lives as Adam and Eve.

### Nephilim

While Adam and Eve flourished inside the Garden of Eden under God's protection, the immortal hominids left outside were approached by the banished Fallen Angels, traveling to the Overworld from the Nether. The early humans and the Fallen had children together, half mortal/half celestial entities described as being more powerful than their Angelic parents. As humanity spread, the Nephilim spread even more, and killed and devoured humans for food.

### The Serpent

In the Garden, Adam and Eve continued to live happily, able to go, do, and eat anything they wanted. But there was one rule. They were not allowed to consume fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and were warned to stay away from it by God himself. Lucifer, who snuck into the Garden, overheard this rule and devised a plan to turn God's most precious creations against him. Lucifer disguised himself as a serpent and hid in the tree. There he tempted Eve over and got her to eat the Forbidden Fruit.

## Conflict

### Consumption of the Forbidden Fruit

Eve, enamored by the taste, also got Adam to eat the Forbidden Fruit as well. They were both given knowledge beyond what God wanted for them, and thus lost their innocence. Disappointed and angry, Yahweh cast Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden and back to Earth where they, and the rest of humanity were rendered mortals, subject to Death.

### Second Battle of Good and Evil

Michael and the Heavenly Host traveled down to Earth to fight Lucifer and the Fallen Angels inhabiting the planet a second time. This battle was even worse than the last, wreaking destruction and death across the surface world. Angels and Fallen Angels alike were killed in battle, the Adamah from their bodies enriching the Earth with Celestial Magic. Eventually, the Heavenly Host managed to overpower the Fallen, and send them back to the Underworld. The power of the Angels mutated the Fallen into the First Demons. Lucifer was captured, and his wings were cut off, temporarily stripping him of his power, and he too was banished back to Hell. The fall back down mutated the Fallen Archangel into the Hell Lord form he is known for.

### Murder of Abel

When Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden, humanity as a whole were rendered mortals, simply another form of hominid. they were animals limited by animal needs, including the need to proliferate. Feeling their age catching up to them, Adam and Eve had many children together, the first of which were Cain and Abel, their first sons. Cain feared death and mortality, and pleaded with God to make him immortal. Yahweh, still seeing hope for humanity, obliged Cain, and charmed his Astral Form, linking his immortal soul to his life force, making him immortal just as Terrans once were.

Lucifer learns of this and decides to use the Seven Deadly Sins and their negative influence to manipulate Cain and turn his blessing into a curse. Abel also feared death, and began praying to God for a merciful outcome for when his time comes. Due to his innocence and good nature, promised that he and his siblings, minus Cain, would be welcome into Heaven upon their deaths. Cain, slowly being corrupted by the Seven Deadly Sins, overhears this deal and begins to fill with envy and hatred. At the peak of his corruption, Cain crafted a makeshift dagger and murdered Abel before trying to kill himself. The moment to blade touched his body, it completely shattered, leaving Cain alive.

Cain was about to take out is annoyance and anger on his other siblings before an angry God stepped in. The demons retreat from Cain as Yahweh attempted to smite him down, only severely scarring him. God removed Cain's invulnerability and regeneration, forcing him to eternally walk the Earth in an immortal and slowly rotting body.

### Opening of Pandora's Box

Mankind began to fall in God's eyes, and Cain's murder of his brother was the last straw. Humanity needed to be brought down again. Yahweh traveled to Olympus to meet its ruler Zeus, an Eternal Deity who has also been slighted by humanity recently. Together they created Pandora, an artificial Terran woman, as well as a container known as Pandora's Box for her to look after. Zeus and Yahweh, gifted Pandora to mankind, with the container in hand, and instructed her to not open it, knowing she would eventually.

Pandora's curiosity overtook her, and she opened the container. In an instant, the last three of the Four Horsemen, Erra, Limos, and Polemos, and their underlings, the Wendigos, the Machae, and disease itself, escaped from Pandora's Box and joined Thanatos and his Reapers to wreak havoc on humanity. With this act, Terran kind were completely mortal and powerless.

### Great Flood

The world was corrupted with evil and sin. The Nephilim still walked the Earth, killing and consuming humans. Humans themselves were hateful, sinful beings, killing each other, and hunting many species to extinction. God realized that to save humanity, they must be wiped clean. He sent Uriel, an Archangel of the Heavenly Host, to warn a Terran named Noah of the cleansing and instructed him to build a large boat. On the boat he would gather a male and female of every animal they can as well as all the worthy humans and bring them on board to protect them.

While Noah's Ark was being populated, God went north and began melting the magical ice left by the Frost Giants during the Gigantomachy. In moments the water levels of the planet rose higher and higher, until the deluge exploded outward in towering tsunamis. Noah, the worthy, and the land animals barely made it all inside the Ark before the flood waters hit them and set them adrift. All of the humans left behind perished in the magical flood waters, as well as nearly all Nephilim. After about six weeks, God realized his actions and allowed the water to dissipate, leaving the Ark stranded near the top of Mount Ararat in modern day Turkey.

### Binding of the Djinn

While most Nephilim died off in the Great Flood, a small group of survivors managed to escape. They disguised themselves as humans and blended into a group of survivors. However, their hunger for Human flesh soon got the best of them, and they began to attack again, revealing their true selves. Their disturbance with recovering population alerted the Heavenly Host of the Nephilim's presence. The Angels went bank down to Earth and used their power to bind the Nephilim to inanimate objects, protecting Human kind from them once and for all.

## Aftermath

### Seven Deadly Sins

The last of the Fallen Angels fought against the Heavenly Host during the Second Battle of Good and Evil. They were unsuccessful and were banished back to Hell with their leader Lucifer. While Lucifer retained his angelic powers and status, only being deformed into his Hell Lord form, the rest of the Fallen were not as lucky. As they fell into the Underworld a second time, the fall mutated and depowered the Fallen into the first and most powerful Demons. These Demons would be known as the Seven Deadly Sins, each representing a sinful act Humans could be influenced into committing.

### God Backing off from Humanity

Thanks mostly to his and his Angels constant interventions, Humanity was nearly wiped off the face of the Earth. They were far from the perfect beings they were originally intended to be. He knew that to protect Humanity, and allow them to grow, he must leave them on their own. With this new declaration, he lowered the waters of the Great Flood. and after the Nephilim were bound away, he had the Angels alter the memories of the Terrans so they do not remember most things magical.

### Genies

The last remaining Nephilim were locked away into inanimate objects, places they could never harm Humans again. Their physical forms were destroyed and they were transformed into ghastly spirits of power. These spirits would become known as Djinn, better known as Genies, who can be temporarily released from their captive object by a corporeal host, meant to be Humans. They were bound to that Human until they use their celestial power to grant them three wishes before becoming trapped in the object again. In a sense, the Nephilim were made into magical slaves for the beings they once hated.
