HotA Campaign: Power Groups

In the Hunters of the Apocalypse campaign, factions will be important, adding an element to the struggles that occur in the campaign.  The remnants of the angelic and demonic armies had allies, as did the humans.  The outline below details just some of these groups.

Heaven-Aligned Groups
Rogue Angels, Shapeshifters & Doppelgangers, Humans, Light Fae, Exorcists, and the occasional supernatural creature.

Hell-Aligned Groups
Rogue Demons, some Vampires, Hell Hounds, the Walking Dead, Humans, Night Fae, Necromancers, and various supernatural monsters.

Neutral-Aligned Groups
Werewolves, Vampires, Revenants, Haunts & Ghosts, Humans, Nature Spirits, and some other supernatural creatures.

This outline also suggests a change to the Alignment system of BECMI that will be used for this campaign.  Instead of the Lawful-Neutral-Chaotic axis, there will be instead a Heaven-Neutral-Hell axis, denoting not an overarching philosophy or outlook on cosmology, but instead simply shows what allegiance each character has in the current situation on the ground on Earth.  Characters in any party of hunters/adventurers should have either Neutral alignment, or be dedicated to the same side of the fight, whether that be Heaven or Hell.  However, those allegiances are sometimes set aside for the greater good (think Crowley in the Supernatural series).
