Ok so those twins were Elli and Luka! Only Luka is of course not the real Luka but a demon. AND THERE WAS A BIG CONFLICT AT THE END and tensions and people being like DO WE KILL HIM WHILE SHE IS TRYING TO PROTECT HIM and he ended up going into her body with his permission and she let him stay and as a kind of I WILL SHOW THE WINCHESTERS THIS WAS WORTH IT EVEN THOUGH THEY DOUBTED IT she started going out and slaying demons and stopping people from making HER MISTAKES and Luka is along like

Luka, btw, ended up being a demon possessing the book that made people bleed because we were like FUCK THESE LOOSE AMBIENT-ONLY ENDS LET US DO SOMETHING WITH THEM.
So from there we were like "Yay we can have a continuing plot around Elluka because they are hella great material for that as they will be investigating things" and started working on the side at other characters to be foils to them (brother/sister duo HMM IS THIS FAMILIAR) but in the meantime we decided to run another only loosely connected one, which was the murder mystery game, and introduce a couple of the characters we were planning on tying into Elluka stuff from a more... fiction-based perspective (Madison, Tristan). It was at this stage where we came up with Lucia ("Girl Solomon" "omg hot asmodeus butler") and Kincade actually though it was a year later before we even intro'd Kincade.
So after the murder mystery we talked more about our planned Girl Solomon and decided that since unlike fiction the players are the protagonist (in fiction Elluka'd be I guess) we should introduce them to Lucia straight up and could throw Elluka in later. Lucia's evolution was basically this:
Mikogami from Sekirei + Neon from Hunter x Hunter + seal of solomon = profit.
We had come up with her brother who she loved but was resentful of (foil to Elli), who was barely a surviving entity with Asmodeus sapping his life force, and her in denial about him being there trying to help her (foil to Bastien) to try to continue the feel of the verse.
So we started with a code-based cry wolf game of Lucia 'testing' them, then after she was pleased we ran a second, straight RP (done in irc and with logs) of her using the players to help her since she'd vetted them. The players, of course, learned about David's state and that Sidney was Asmodeus etc and that theyw anted to do something about this, though that wouldn't come into fruition until later. We also threw Elli, Tristan, and Madison back into this game (and Kieran because he decided to become an autonomous character as I rambled about earlier), working separately because the thing Lucia Really Wanted Complete was the sword, which contained the demon that had possessed both Bastien and the original Luka so there was some severe loose ends for Elli there. Groups of players worked with different of these sets and it came together at a confrontation at the end with the sword, which ended up under Lucia's control partially.
Then it came time for the anniversary of the first game and we were like, man, Kit and Bastien moved on again but they'd be perfect, WHAT DO, so we were like, ok, Lucia is a descendant of Bastien's, why not. He stuck his dick in anything anyway. She's repeating history here. But say Bastien... we know he was fighting the sword even as it drove him crazier. SAY HE SEALED PART OF IT AWAY and then died with the secret!! She will want that, and she's connected by blood so she can call him back and then we did a BASTIEN HEART GAME. And tied in some real world stuff at the time (introducing Dr. Filangieri and the ability to get rid of Asmodeus if they wanted) and the method the players did this is why the current game played as it did.
