[Is he really sure, this shit goes back 800 years.]
...[Crud, she didn't expect to run into someone that has no supernatural influence whatsoever in their world today.] Starting from the top--there are Witches, Gods and humans in my world. Some gods represent a certain aspect that keeps the world in balance, like Knowledge, Fear, and Order to name a few. Lord Death represents order and Witches are opposed to order, so naturally Lord Death really didn't like Witches and tried to exterminate them before they caused any chaos that could hurt humans. In response, one Witch took the soul of another Witch and combined it with a weapon to create one of the original Demon Weapons.
[Yes she's interpreted "from the top" as "the whole fucking history."]
Demon Weapons are living people with the ability to change into weapons, with their creation and introduction into humanity's gene pool, some regular humans began to change themselves--gaining new abilities for adaptation. These people are classed as "Meisters," the only ones able to use a Demon Weapon and unlock their full potential. Lord Death decided to gather all of these people together and train them to fight Witches so they don't wreak havoc on humanity.
Now, this was all 800 years ago, so everything is a lot more spread out than before and new Weapons and Meisters are born every day--it's a recessive gene, but there are lots of Weapon and Meister families that have a legacy. I won't bore you with the politics behind those. [That and she doesn't know much about it since she's one of the few to come from a mixed family--in more ways than one.] Today, we have the Academy to train new Weapons and Meisters from...I think enrollment starts at 12 and you're there until you graduate at 18, anyway we're trained to work together and fight effectively, a little like an army I guess. ["A little."] But Witches aren't the only things Weapon and Meister teams fight, some humans become too afraid of everything and start to kill others and eat their souls. They think freedom from order is freedom from fear entirely, this sometimes changes their bodies and they turn into monsters--it's an unforgivable crime to eat a good soul and you have officially given up humanity once you do, but at the same time souls are like a battery power, the more you eat the stronger you get. We started to use this to our advantage and have our Weapons consume "kishin eggs"--or corrupted souls with the potential to become kishin--to become stronger themselves. As students, we're directed to gather 99 of these and then feed the Weapon a Witch's soul so they can unlock their full potential.
This "fear" that influences humans to start killing comes from the Kishin Asura, the god of fear. He's someone that despises humans and hates the idea of anyone being close to him so much that he ate his own Weapon partner several years ago. He was sealed away up until fairly recently when he was released by a Witch named Medusa, so that just added more pressure on the Academy to keep everything safe for regular humans.
I'M SORRY KATAR...

...And that's everything, right from the top.
