Totenengel- The Story
Totenengel- as you know, the title means "Dead Angel" in German, because that is essentially what it is about. it's set on Earth in the year 2048, and the world is split up into huge continental Coalitions (The American and Middle East went imperial, so South America, Central America and Greenland are all part of the American Coalition, while Africa has joined the Middle Eastern Coalition) and the world is ruled by Paranoia. In the midst of the fighting an unusual thing is found- a man Frozen in the alps, perfectly preserved after more than 500 years. His name is discovered to be Feuersturm Engel (throughout the story called simply "Engel"). At the beginning of the story, he's on display in the Alps in a French Museum as the "Anti-Deterioration", but as the leaders of the French, Russian and German territories pay a visit to the "Pride and Joy of the Alps Musee D'histoire", he awakens and leaves his icy prison. When the Curators and the Territorial Leaders find him, they ask him to tell his story, and it turns out he was actually an Angel being hunted by a Higher Demon named Thorronam, who is after him because Angels are assigned to look over planets by God to help the sentient beings to move forward (i.e., Gabriel is the Guardian Angel of Earth), and in that time the Angelic world was divided into those who affiliate themselves with God (normal Angels like Michael and Gabriel) and those who affiliate themselves with Lucifer (Arcane Angels, or Demons, like Bartimaeus or Beelzebub) who betrayed God (as the Angels call him "The Greater One) and Engel (as he was called on his planet, "Lamisar") is unaware of Thorronam's joining of the Demons, and he allows Thorronam to be "Re-Assigned" to his planet (Kro) when Thorronam destroyed his planet after a failed Arcane experiment as the Sun of his planet exploded and consumed everything (the gravity was too weak) and Thorronam tempted Engel's sentient beings (who have uncanny abilities to shape the Earth and control the Weather) to use it without caution, and that destroyed Engel's planet. However, before that happened, Engel evacuated (using a dimensional transport) his people and hid them on Earth. Thorronam found out and hunted him down and killed him, but when Angels or Demons "Die" they merely become Mortal (with a 700 billion year life span, doesnt' seem too mortal to me. =P) and Warlocks on the Earth are attempting to summon a Demonic invasion, with Thorronam as the leader. What Engel has to do is find the Warlock's Summoning Pits and destroy them before the Demons can get through. Don't worry, this is just the skeleton of the story. There will be funny little moments and more characters to come.
(I apologize for the extremely long explanation, it's a big plot. it's hard to just summarize it for someone who overcomplicates things like myself)
