Curate, connect, and discover
If you're interested in hearing character information, lore, and updates about my new story idea, check out my second blog!
Well, hello, dear reader. If you're seeing this, you either somehow stumbled across it yourself or you saw the reblog from my other account, zenmastercharles. Either way, judging by the fact that you're still reading, you're interested.
Now, to answer the question, The Sin of Ambition, is one of the many story ideas I have in my mind at the moment, one that's slowly overtaking the WIP I'm actually working on.
It centers around Azren Alarick, a cambion, the first of her kind, who teams up with Earth's military, albeit reluctantly, in the midst of a war between Earth and Hell. As the barrier between the mortal realm and the underworld sporadically cracks, allowing demonic beasts to make their way into the human realm and wreak havoc, Azren and a group of soldiers must gather blood from a group of fallen angels known as the Seven Deadly Sins, the rulers of Hell.
The story mostly takes place in Hell, after Azren reveals a way to bring her new human "friends" down there. There are arcs covering each ring and each ruler, as well as the new allies they make along the way.
I'm toying around with the overall "theme" that the story would convey, because I'm not exactly sure. The idea I have for now is that it challenges the idea that one bad apple ruins the whole batch, that humans are too far gone in their collective evil, and also tackles the way the military effects people, especially in America. If anyone has any better ideas for it, let me know.
The four starting main characters go as follows:
Azren Alarick - The cambion mentioned earlier before, a wandering half-demon warrior who previously coasted through life on her powers, devil-may-care attitude, and seductive charm.
Keyvon Sims - A younger soldier for the military with a naive, geek-ish personality, his inexperience typically getting him into dangerous situations in the underworld.
Monserret Nores - Or "Monse", an older combat medic with a stern but caring, almost motherly energy who arguably holds the most 'people-skills' in the group, able to read energy easily.
Lt. Nash - A man so devoted to his role as a lieutenant that he doesn't even use his first name, he's a loud, stubborn, demanding old man who's convinced his way, the American way, is best.
As you can probably tell, this is based on...Hazbin Hotel. LOOK. I have watched enough Hazbin Hotel critique and praise videos to know exactly what not to do with a concept like this one. I'll be taking some stuff from demonology and the bible (both New and Old Testaments), but overall it'll be my own interpretations with huge changes to the lore, especially pertaining to one pair of brothers we all know and (kind of) love. Anyways, if you're interested or have any suggestions, leave a like, reblog, or comment. Bai bai!
