The shadow knight's are a Large group of million's, They are mainly villain's, But reformed shadow knight's tend to take a more careful tone. They work for The devil, Who resides in hell. They do anything to get those they believe 'Worthy' on Their side.
Info
The shadow Knight's are Created once somebody dies, or finds themself stuck in hell. But some are created just from being in 'Hell'. If they go under a Mental change, This could happen if other shadow knight's Are convincing them that they'd been abandoned, or left to die. If they wish to achieve Abilities and powers, Immortality, They must go to the Over realm, And kill someone they once Were close to. (Lover's, King, Family, Best friends, ETC.) If they do not do this, They are called a 'Prematured Shadow Knight'. They are simple a name, and use in battle, They aren't part of the True shadow Knights. However, All Shadow Knight's are immortal as long as they Stay in hell. All Shadow knight's can turn into a Larger, And more powerful version Of themselves, Which has Armor, And weaponry. There are no method's for Curing shadow Knight's, However, Some shadow knight's are able to Keep control of themselves, Through mind over matter. They develop more humane feeling's when being in the Over-Realm for too long, Although they will remain shadow knight's for the rest of their Mostly eternal life.
Goal
The Goal of the Shadow Knight's is to Help The Devil, Satan, Rise, and Take over the world. Although it may be million's more years before This goal is accomplished. They want the Ranking system of the world to change, To something a bit more equal, Although they have made no progress. This a reason why some decide to kill their king's or Lord's. Most Shadow knight's Were Guard's Or higher ups, And part of The ranking System, So its obvious they would care for their lord. A few of The Shadow Knight's have Come to their senses and Fled to the over World so they may Help in the fight against Criminal's, And People like themselves, In a way to try and redeem themselves for their wrong act's.
The Caller's Wraith
After a Shadow Knight stays in the overrealm for too long, They experience the Caller's Wraith, who is an ancient spirit, who pulls shadow knight's back to the under realm. It happens to every shadow knight, but some don't experience it until their final year's. Staying away from the under realm can be dangerous for shadow knight's, If not deadly. If one is under the caller's power, but do not wish to rid themselves of their new-found emotion's, they will feel a pull, and eventually it will taint their emotion's, and after even just a small amount of time, it ends up being the only thing they can think about, and tortures their mind.
Verum Transitus
The Verum Transitus Is used as a way to transcend through different realm's and time's for shadow knight's. Those with more power, and experience are sent to these realm's under the devil's order. The only difference between these land's and the normal world the shadow knight's inhabit is the fact of magic, and time being much more superior, and powerful, then the past lands.
System
Shadow Knights receive their armies and rank by capability and smarts. The Higherups of the Shadow Realm naturally are given access to the Militia (Kept below two hundred In-game to avoid Powergaming). With this, all of the Higherups feed off of the same militia that rests within the billions of people due to the mass amount of people who continue to die within time. All Higherups work underneath Lucifer and the Keepers of the Void, a group of six named Travis, Elysona, Vokun, Azroketh, Lucifer, and Nicole. They are considered the racial leaders of their people, albeit Lucifer and Elysona rule overall.
