Over a thousand years ago, was the great war between humans, lycans, and vampires. Out of the madness, a single human hero rose up, wearing a red cross on his armor, and managed to lead the humans into victory. This man, whose name has been lost in time, was the one who started the society that would continue long after his death, the Red Cross Society. Their methods were brutal, but they kept the humans alive. A thousand years later, a man by the name of Edward joined the RCS, his superior being known by the name of Lanius Neco-Inclementia. Lanius was by far the most brutal and effecient leader they had ever had: the humans loved him, the lycans and vampires feared him. When Lanius suddenly vanished, Edward quickly gained control, and, being a rebel against his own group, changed things.

Edward had been friends with everyone, and supported everyone to live together peacefully, not just humans. Several forces, such as that of the Crusniks lead by a vampire named Banshi, alligned with him. As did many lycans and other vampires, creatures which before never could find a common ground. However, because of all the evil the Red Cross had done... blood still needed to be shed....

A society, called the Black Cross, rose up in rebellion. They were led by an ancient vampire, Kenomi, known as Envy. Their members were Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, Sloth, and Pride. Kenomi eventually left them on their own, and, now together and in motion, they set out to completely destroy the RCS and everyone that stood by it. Yet another war started, and for a while, it looked as though the Black Cross was going to win... until a single lycan follower of the group teared them apart by acting completely out of orders. Meeting, and realizing they couldn't repair the damage or face their enemy properly after this, they all split apart. Greed and Wrath were the only ones who stayed together afterwards, but they did keep in contact with the formar Lust, no one other than the vampire Lord Sergei.

After the war had ended, things calmed down... until Edward went missing, and Lanius reappeared to take over. When Edward returned, war was set between not only the Red Cross Society, but between those who supported Lanius' hate-filled ways, or Edward's belief in peace. The ex-members of the Black Cross, taking notice, formed an alliance with Edward, although it is not exactly what either side ever had in mind. After years and years of war, finally, in one last great battle, Edward Grey killed Lanius Necro-Inclementia, thus forming a peace that would last for 200 years after this great event.

It has been 200 years since that day. The RCS no longer has a leader, it is run by the general public... and Edward, as well as a few others from that time, are still alive, but hidden. As things progress, a new sense of darkness is falling over: long hidden spite, cults formed out or a secret rebellion against the world, greed for power, and false pride. All these things are slowly edging closer... and closer... out of the grey, and Towards the Black.
