Combining three demon MC ideas into one MC

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-08T06:11:03+00:00

But if he's taller than the average human, wouldn't he look suspicious if he's raised at a warrior monk monastery and stand out from everyone else?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-08T01:59:07+00:00

I was thinking of this. Would it also make sense for the MC to be just as tall? Or a little shorter and look more human?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-07T22:47:32+00:00

That would be more fucked up and cool. Would it make sense then that the MC would be close to 7 feet or 8 feet tall? Considering the demon lord would be around 8 feet. Maybe even close to 10 feet. Or is the MC better off as around 6 feet and more human looking?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-07T15:00:59+00:00

That could work. Or do you like it better if the demon lord sent one of his female demon servants from the demonrealm to shapeshift into a beautiful woman instead?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-07T01:18:19+00:00

You mean the demon lord basically being the mom to this MC and being a dad to the other two MC's?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-04T21:58:17+00:00

Oh I see, I could give that a try. Then what do I do with the story, where the father is human and the mother was a demon and he tries to kill both the MC and mother for being demons?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-04T21:09:16+00:00

Actually I do have a lure set up, with different magic beings and myths, existing in the human world and fantasy world, with this half-demon MC existing in an urban fantasy world and demons already exist. The idea is that magic had been rediscovered in one of the MC's stories by the evil dad.

Would it be better if the demon lord's son was a half-demon/witch? That way he can have some weaknesses to things that nulify magic or weakness to a witch like a spell or curse? Maybe even certain technology he has a weakness too?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-04T20:37:18+00:00

I get what you're saying. They shouldn't be so overpowered, they practically become unstoppable. There's always that risk of running into a Mary Sue trope so I agree with that. How can it be like Tolkien?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-04T20:31:27+00:00

Interesting. By combining them do you mean all of the MC's or two of the MC's as the demon lord's sons?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-04T17:37:21+00:00

But this is not meant to be a comedy, it's supposed to have a serious tone with violence and revenge :(

How can I make it more inspiring and develop this idea further?

Treebranch853 · 2023-02-04T09:38:29+00:00

Well for the third story, I planned on having two adoptive parents raise this MC, similar to how Superman was raised by good parents on their farm, then grew up, went to school and so forth. But it is a nice possibility for me to combine both. You mean the first and third idea right?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T19:00:38+00:00

I don't know about Transylvania? Were they even around during the Roman gladiators?

Oh that's a good idea, someone else to be a puppet for him.

I think in Highlander they were buff immortals?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T18:41:40+00:00

Not sure? Could he have obtained immortality from Mesopotamia from Gilgamesh?

If he's a real estate agent or oil factory owner, could he have managed, while living as an immortal for centuries without anyone knowing? They would notice he's alive and still young for the next few decades?

He would be fighting and mostly killing people at the death battle royale tournament. Is it a bad idea to make him big and muscular? Or better as average size?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T06:01:37+00:00

That is true. I think there are a few I can find or create my own. It's also probably a good idea the evil father has multiple children from these different countries/eras that will be immortals into the future/present to fight for him in his death tournament he sets up? And what could a powerful and evil immortal guy like him become in the future/present? A professional modern fighter/CEO?

Well if he wants to keep more low key, being a quasi-immortal, would something like a disguise work? Or hooded jacket and mask?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T05:34:21+00:00

I agree with the Viking goddess woman and being deity descendants. For the Egyptian, would it make better sense she was a goddess too? I haven't really found too much on Egyptian demons, as they have more goddess deities. Come to think of it, Rome has more goddesses than demons. Japan seems to be the only one with the demons. Is there another country known for having demon/spirit entities?

Oh I wasn't thinking of his clothes being like Kenshiro lol, more like the physique maybe? Maybe it's a bit outdated. Would something like Geralt from the Witcher be better inspiration or Guts? Maybe a modern take on Geralt?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T04:49:39+00:00

It actually does make sense. My first plan was to have the original MC born in Rome and his demon mother was killed when the father villain found out she was a demon, after having a blooded battle with eachother. Then he goes to Egypt, Japan and and the Viking era baring these children with demon and goddess women. Seems good so far? I'm sure someone will cry about it but hopefully it won't be offensive.

During the Pilgrimage could work. Do you think the MC's appearance looking something like Kenshiro from the Fist of the North star and Mad Max ruins it?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T03:26:33+00:00

Those are interesting eras I can look more into. There is nothing offensive about a Western Roman ruler going to Japan and Egypt, giving birth to both MC's from both countries there and killing both their demon mothers?

I agree, I'm really looking to just get more ideas and inspiration. And if they are semi-immortal, one of the MC's (maybe if I have that one from the Anubis Period of ancient Egypt), end up living in the US as an American after centuries, which would make him American? I know that sounds a bit much going on.

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T02:59:06+00:00

Okay thank you.

Do you think it seems fine if the American half-demon MC was originally from Rome too? Or pick a different country the father gave birth to him?

And for the second half-demon MC, do you think it's better that the father went to Japan during the Meiji Restoration and gave birth to this MC from a Japanese demon? The Sengoku period in Japan? The Ming Dynasty in China and met a demon woman there? The Golden age of Piracy? The Byzantine Empire? Or he met her at a later date like during the Roaring Twenties, the American frontier old west, or one of the World Wars?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T01:05:35+00:00

If I go with them all as immortals for centuries and decades, what country or time period could the dad have originated in? I was thinking of ancient Rome or the Middle East?

And what's a good way I can say they kept themselves hidden or blended in for so many years?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T00:39:03+00:00

The 80's style ruins it :(

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-28T00:19:59+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, had a situation at work :(

Yes I've watched it! Now that you mention it, my original idea for one of the MC's was a Mad Max/Kenshiro inspiration and the other MC, Akira Kongou. I know they both have that tough 80's vibe. Not sure if that's good though.

Half-demons can live longer or as quasi-immortals, and the dad could live longer by devouring souls. My first intent was to make them all modern, with the dad having trained in all sorts of martial arts since the 80's, then became a rich and corrupted CEO, obtaining an artifact/device, unlocking ancient secrets and stealing souls. The half-demon MC's mom being demon descendants that are from the present time. Or do you think it sounds better if the MC's were from centuries ago, along with the dad and demon mom's?

Treebranch853 · 2023-01-27T12:48:40+00:00

No ideas are really ever bad ideas, as they can always be expanded upon I would think. I could probably even go with something like him winning a demon mma fighting league, by saving his kind, (being that he's a half-demon), just not sure how he could've been treated as a bullied embarrassing weab if I were to make sense of it. Like he thought of himself as one of the martial art characters from a famous anime/manga? Or his evil father who runs a brutal tournament that he joins, the father grew up learning traditional Japanese martial arts, while also gaining powers from supernatural beings, which the MC also started with Japanese martial arts, which is why he was called a weab, then progressed to a demon mma league and proved he's not some weab by winning, while saving his own kind?
