New Concept Back story
December 21st 2012, according to the Mayan calender the end of times. As far as most of the world is aware the day passed without much event. However the heads of select governments around the globe know different. On December 21st 2012 at 3:30am one of the Knights of hell, Abaddon was released from his confines in hell, and with his rise all the daemons in hell rose with him.
To combat this new threat these governments combined their most skilled soldiers and scientists into The Division, a secretive and elite organisation designed specifically to fight and win a secret war with the soldiers of hell. At first they were fighting a losing war, for every daemon that The Divisions troops killed Abaddon's forces wiped out entire Squads of men, this continued for 5 months until a month ago when the division were joined by a new ally, The Order. A secret order of the Vatican, The Order were created to function as the combat arm of the Catholic Church, to find, root out and destroy any of the inhabitants of hell.
Now with Abaddon looking to release his fellow knights from their prisons and plunge the world into a new level of hell, it is the Divisions last chance to stop him and his daemonic hords. Together with their new Order allies they seek an ancient book, which tells of how to release the one thing that can effectively fight and re-imprison the daemons.... The Angels.

Daemons
The daemons are a horrible mutation of human souls, they re the inhabitants of hell and find extreme pleasure in the torture and massacring of humans.

Daemons:
Abaddon - One of the Knights of hell, he is the current ruler of the daemon hordes. He is as ruthless in his views against humanity as he is in his tactics in combat. The Hell Knights are an ancient race of Daemons created at the foundation of hell by Lucifer. There were 12 in all, the only 3 have been known to ever walk the earth; Lilith, Abaddon & Abdiel. Upon his release from hell at the beginning of the war he proceeded to bring the coven whom rose him into his inner circle, using their magic to cloak him from the eyes of the order and any other magical being whom he considers an enemy. He is a 10ft tall hate filled demonic killing machine covered in scales with 4 horns protruding from his skull, he has cloven feet and 3 fingers, 2 thumbs on each hand.
Acheri Demon - Are large Daemons about the size of a mini cooper and are the standard daemons encountered by Division forces. They have no sense of smell or sound but have keen eye sight, they share a hive mind mentality with other Acheri, when a number of them are together they become more effective at developing tactics as their field of vision increases each of them becomes aware of everything the others see, this ability allows them to overcome the inherent disadvantage of having a limited sense of smell or sound. They have pale mottled skin as tough as a rhino's hide and incredibly strong limbs and teeth that can be retracted and extended from their jaws to reach the size of a saber tooth tigers canines, even for a being of their size they are incredibly fast and can scale buildings with ease.
Medusa Demon - The Medusa daemon is a reptilian demon that looks relatively human from a distance however at closer distances their snake like appearance becomes more apparent, they possess night vision and infrared senses, they have talons on their claws which makes them exceptionally dangerous in hand to hand combat, The Medusa daemons appear to be entirely female they speak in a series of clicks and hisses, they are however capable of speaking many human languages.
Arrah Demon - The Arrah demon is a man sized demon with needle like teeth, it is slow moving and deliberate often keeping to the shadows, they mainly remain in the daemon nests gaurding it from intruders. When they find their prey they attack without warning they are extremely fast which makes up for their relatively weak strength. If they become outnumbered, cornered or enraged will enter a ballistic rage where they attack haphazardly without consideration of harming other daemons or themselves.
