My Books and Characters: Falling

Falling is my new non-book, as I like to call it. Since around July I've had this group of characters stuck in my head. None of them had much of a story, but they wouldn't leave me alone. They were driving me crazy, so to shut them up I decided to put them in a series of short stories. All the stories are connected in the sense that they all have the same characters, but they don't follow a main plot line.

There is a war going on, but it's not a war among humans. It's a war among angels. Since the beginning of time the Angels and and the Fallen have fought for control, but now everything has changed. The Angels have become corrupt; bringing their war into the human world, killing innocents, and breaking their own laws. They've become no better than the Fallen. There is still hope for Earth though. A small group of rebel angels has banded together to defend the humans, and stop the wicked deeds of the Angels and the Fallen.

The Rebels

Valkyrie, known by her friends as Val, is the leader of the Rebels. She was formerly one of the Fallen, and Lucifer's lover.

Aurora was, until recently, an Angel. After being framed for an unforgivable crime she is banished from Heaven and joins the Rebels. She is the younger sister of archangel Micheal.

Pendragon, also known as Pen, is Val's best friend and second in command. Like Aurora, he used to be an Angel.

Roswell is one of the Fallen, but he works as a spy for the Rebels. He is madly in love with Skyla, and Daren is his twin brother.

Daren, a former Fallen Angel, is Roswell's twin brother. He is very fun-loving, and he always knows how to make people smile.

Skyla is an Angel working as a spy for the Rebels. She is madly in love with Roswell, and would do anything to keep him safe.

Crim, although a loyal member of the rebellion, is still very much in touch with her Fallen tendancies. She is often violent and angry, and she never hesitates to pick a fight.

Ashwinder was also a Fallen Angel. He enjoys coming up with new ways to annoy Crim, and he constantly challenges her. Despite this, he is her closest friend.

Elyra is the most mysterious of the group. Although she was one of the Fallen, she does not act like it. The other tend to favour one side or the other, but Elyra is completely nuetral.

Others

Lucifer is the leader of the Fallen. His evil is second only to that of Satan himself.

Micheal is an archangel, and the leader of the Angels. Although he was once pure and good, he is now just as corrupt as the other Angels.
