Overview Time!
This is just a general 'get all the facts together' sort of thing. Reign of the Five seemed to be getting pretty muddled/complex, so I thought I'd type this up before I went any farther.
Chasm -- I think I must be subconsciously clever, for while I didn't plan the intermission that way, I agree it did help a bit. ^_^
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Characters:
Dante - don't make me explain who Dante is. ¬_¬
Sarah - associate of Dante's who runs a shelter/clinic for weaker devils or devils who flee the Underworld. The shelter is underground beneath Chicago. She is something of a pacifist, and is also unaware of Dante's heritage.
Ray - long term associate of Dante's. While he can fight, he is more interested in finding information for people, and works as a sort of paranormal researcher. This has made him very knowledgeable with computers as well as giving him a wide range of paranormal contacts he can get information from. He knows about Dante's family history.
Lannister - mysterious guy (devil?) who appears randomly to give Dante helpful hints and to push him in the right direction. No one is sure whether or not to trust him, however, as his personal motives are unknown.
Catullus - a small dragon familiar to Sparda and now to Dante. He was left by Sparda to protect the Staff in the temple in Egypt. He is very knowledgeable about the working of the Underworld. He also has an alcohol problem, though he has a tolerance that belies his size.
Occasus - shadowy figure who has raised a devil army to attack the human world. He gained power after Mundus's power was lessened after Dante's fight with him. Even though he is only a 2nd lieutenant (low ranking commander, yet higher than average devil) he has the backing of many power devils.
Emena - One of the Ten, making her somewhere in the top twenty most powerful ranked devils. She backs Occasus simply for the chance at some amusement.
Other things:
The Five: The current Emperor (Mundus) and his four siblings, one of whom was Sparda. The whereabouts of the other three are unknown. These devils are generally the most powerful in the Underworld.
The Ten: The highest ranking generals of the Underworld. Each of the Five has two handpicked generals, which altogether create The Ten. Each one is usually very devoted to their own member of The Five who picked them though. The whereabouts of most of The Ten remain unknown.
Staff of Power: A mysterious weapon possessed by Sparda and now in Dante's possession. There were five created for each one of The Five, and the Staves can only be used by the Five or the next generation of direct descendants (such as Dante, although Dante's children could not wield it). While it is in Dante's possession, he is not terribly interested in learning its use or power and he thinks it cramps his style. It has the ability to shift form into an earring to make storage and traveling easier.
Cities of Hunters: Three secret cities located across the globe. These cities are home to thousands of professional devil hunters and cater especially to their needs. Basically they're not your average city. Each is protected by various spells and technology to keep away the average passerby as well as to stay hidden from things like airplanes. Devils are also strictly prohibited in the city and their presence is constantly scanned for.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I can't think of anything else to reiterate, hopeful that just refocused things a bit. If anything ever doesn't make sense or needs more explanation, please just tell me.

Chapter 12 will up…soon….O_O (I might not sleep though)
