Weapon Info
Life, the Universe, and Everything. It was all created so long ago, by an unseen force that no one has witnessed since. "Good" and "Evil" keeping balance over one another, with 'mankind' self assured that THEY were the 'third power'.
They may have been right. In the distant future in a time of deep space travel, where nanomachines gave humans abilities that could almost surpass those of angels or demons, mortals eventually discovered a way to open the passageways to the physical realms of both heaven and hell.
Each group growing ever more distrusting of the others, was ready to begin the final battle, and bring about the end of days.
Then, a fourth power came.
Offering an alliance secretly with each of the other three, they all eagerly accepted, without knowing what they were getting into, and a climactic battle erupted.
In the wake of that first battle, Heaven, Hell, and the Mortal World were all left in ruins. The fourth power was not salvation from the apocalypse.
It was the trigger for it....

Classes/Allegiance
There are three choices for characters, Angels, Demons, and Mortals.
Angels have high power and capability, but are susceptible to corruption. They are granted their powers from an outside source which will just as happily take their powers away if they act out of line. Angels losing their powers will NOT merely become mortals, they simply lose their powers, and cannot do anything but wield what weapons they still own.
-Advantages: Strongest starter class. No real flaws.
-Disadvantages: WILL lose powers if acting like pricks like last game.
Mortals are the most adaptive of the group, though lacking many spirit powers that the others begin with, and weapons of man being weaker by compare, they find themselves capable of wielding weapons of both sides, and even capable of merging weapons that are of both sides to create new, powerful objects.
-Advantages: Most adaptive with weapons, can create mortal-only weapons that trump holy or demonic weapons.
-Disadvantages: No spirital powers, weak starting class from no +50% weapon options. Absorbed nano-powers often weaker than holy or demonic counterparts.
Demons exist as the spawn of darkness. Though each individual demon may represent one of many acts of sin or evil, more powerful ones often represent many, or even the mere negative existance as a whole, though a rare few demons may be less inclined to be evil, and merely be 'not good'. Demons gain power by taking it from others.
-Advantages: May steal powers from defeated foes, strongest power growth if enough XP to support it.
-Disadvantages: Weakest starting class, demonic weapons will always be outclassed by holy weapons.
Notes: There will be penalties for pointless in-fighting. Angels, fucking play good guys, act evil and you suffer. Mortals and Demons: Be evil if you'd like, but know if your actions cause the party to fail, you're going to be destroyed too. Hence to all 3 types, it's in your best interest to play nice, and acting against yourself in this way WILL cause the GM to step in and penalize you.
RPing tension, going off on different approaches to the same mission, refusing to risk yourself to aid a "foe" type, all accepted. Throwing a teammate into imminent rape or attacking her directly... NOT.
Angels -
+50% holy wepaon damage
-50% demon weapon damage
Support Items and Abilities
Holy weapons tend to be superior (single type) weapons.
Gains power by "offering" objects to their source.
Mortals -
100% damage for holy or demon weapons.
Tech focus/Devices (variety of powers)
Can create hybrid weapons from both holy and demonic power.
Gains power by absorbing tech with nanomachines.
Demons -
-50% holy weapon damage
+50% demon weapon damage
Offensive Items and Abilities
Gains power by absorbing it directly into themselves.
May gain additional powers by ripping it from enemies' existance.

A bit of system info:
Weapons can be used by any group, but give bonuses for familiarity with them and being in-tune. Items and abilities are race/class-specific, and as such they CAN NOT be used by other races. These penalties cannot be 'trained away' during the RP, as using computers is as foreign to angels/demons as wielding holy/demonic magics is to mortals. Things vague enough any race can use it will be tagged "generic", and possibly have an origin mark on it. But generic-tagged items have no bonus nor penalty for any race.
Spending Experience Points will allow you to take temporary skills (as available by equipping items) and turn them into permanent bonuses. Doing this absorbs the bonus out of the item through one of the means available to your group. (Angels give the power to their 'source', and can wield it, mortals analyze and retain data through nanotech, demons tear the power out and absorb it into themselves... more or less.)
Characters can equip up to 5 items before equipment burden sets in. This 'burden' is not in the physical sense, but refers to enduring multiple layers of magical (or technological) abilities not in-tune with their body. In this way, experience points are spent to bring the value under the character's control (in the methods described above).
In this manner, one could 'absorb' the power of weapons too, however this is not advised under normal circumstances. After all, 'stealing' a swords magic ability to be 'sharper', doesn't really help a punch be any stronger, as your fist is not a sharp weapon in any sense of the word. Thus, the action would ruin the sword (taking away it's power), while giving you very, very little (if anything) in return.
As this power-stealing is based on magic and tech 'bonuses', raw-objects (non-magic, non-tech) like everyday guns and swords have nothing to 'absorb' out of. They may be wielded as standard, and nothing more. Attempting to absorb them is merely wasting precious XP for no benefit, so have fun doing that if you really want to sit around absorbing everything you come across.
On Combat:
First attack per turn is always at base value. Each additional attack suffers a penalty based on the type of weapon. These penalties may range from simply a lower chance to hit, to actually causing the wielder injury.
Some weapons must be charged or have ammunition built up inside it (assuming it is not one of the rare weapons that cannot have ammo created for it, or is otherwise limited uses). In this case, number of charges/shots max will be listed, and amount that can be generated/charged per turn.
Ranges affect how far a weapon can strike efficiently at. "Melee" implies the weapon remains in the hands of the wielder when striking. Though some melee weapons have a range (whips, living-chains, etc), when they reach their limit, that is the end of it. Attacking past accepted range in Melee requires moving closer, and is deemed automatically done, potentially putting the attacker at risk of attacks of opportunity, walking into traps, or other dangers, if they're not careful.
For actual ranged weapons, up to it's first range has no penalty, and every range block after the first has a -2, up to it's limit. The format is ## (##)/ to ##.
(IE, a pistol would be 30 (10)/to 100. Meaning up to 30 meters/yards no penalty, and a -2 for every 10 feet after that, out to 100 meters/yards, where the weapon loses too much power to ever shoot accurately... So a shot at 50 meters gets a -4 (two modifiers past it's base range), while a shot at 90 meters would get a -12 (six modifiers past it's base range))

"SVTNPP" - Standard Variable Tech Nano-Powered Pistol
Ammo: 5/5 shots. Reload: 5 sp per shot, 1 per turn.
2d6 damage, +0 to-hit, Range: 30(10)/to 100. Multi: Penalty raises per shot, -0/-3/-6/-9/-12 (max 5 shots, expending full clip.)
-Standard weapon, 100% damage for all classes.
-Note! Weapon Spends 1 ammo per shot.
-
A standard armament of the futuristic post-apocalypse mortal world, stuffed to the brim with nanomachines so it can effectively use a variety of 'hard' ammo. Standard shots fired from this weapon are created from debris and materials around the weapon itself, expending the wielder's energy to fuel it's nano-factory for ammo construction.
Angels/Demons have learned through experience against this weapon that it is surprisingly effective for a side-arm, and that by channeling their own power into the weapon, the nanomachines, not caring where they're powered from, will perform their duty in generating ammo.

-Iron-Grip, 1 charge. On a successful called shot to grab an enemy weapon (must hit, and beat enemy's attack roll), the glove 'locks' around the weapon.

1d6 damage. -4 to-hit. Range: Melee. Multi: -5 to hitper extra attack, all attacks made this round.
Abilities:
-Unknown.

This weapon feels poorly crafted and sluggish. It's as if it was made out of lead that was then painted black, with the cheapest, dullest, most lackluster paint in existance. Though a large two handed weapon, when not being wielded, it feels strangely light. It's blade seems dull even to the touch.
