It seems like every second entry i hit these days is an outsider. Oh well, you know the drill, alignments are a spook, angels can serve the chaotic evil god of hells above and below if it fits the story, yadda yadda.
There are only two deities in the world of Sirpterria, the One Above and the One Below. While their churches disagree on just about every point there is, they both agree that the coming of the Final Human will end the world as it is known, and afterwards the newborn deity will reform the multiverse as it sees fit. When a young boy named Evan is identified as the one who will, once he learns the secrets of his powers and origin, become the Final Human, two Balisse angels are sent to him, each attaching to the boy and choosing to show themselves in a miniature form sitting on the boy's shoulders. Of course, serving two opposed deities, the angels keep giving the poor kid completely opposite sets of advice. As it stands, the kid is starting to lose his mind, and nobody wants a mad god to be in charge. A group of exorcists, perfectly balanced so that none of the two gods get more representation, is called for. While the angels understand the conundrum that they created, and can see the benefit of leaving the boy, none are willing to leave the boy before the other angel does, fearing the consequences of changing the delicate balance of things as they are now.
As times progressed, the heavens progressed with it, embracing novelty. In this new world, Saint Yoanna is a balisse angel using her innate talents to work as a psychotherapist. While she has worked with her current group for a few years, recently she realized there's an information leak, something she would expect from no-one in her new flock. Feeling out of her depth, she calls forth two experienced mortal inquisitors from her church to investigate her clients, and find out who and how may be compromised.
While it was considered unheard of for a Confessor Angel to fall, due to their specific experience, the Winged Crusader is an exception. A completely insane celestial, he has judged the population of an entire city to be sinners. He now randomly appears before people, calling them out on their previous misdeeds, however minor they may be. While a rare few are touched and truly show remorse, and are hence let go, the minority are dumbfounded and will try to argue for themselves. Unfortunately, the Angel considers this an admission of guilt, and will then go into offensive. He has, up until now, killed at least a dozen people, and shows no signs of stopping. A group of diabolists from a neighbouring town are recruited to help out, as they are the only one willing to slay a light-aligned outsider and risk godly wraith.
