Urchins. Orphans. Discarded children, unwanted. No one would notice if they went missing.
Taken.
And so they were. Plucked from wherever they lay their head at night, and taken far, far away from the only place they had ever called home.
But their story does not end there.
No, their stories would be far from over. Far from finished.
Truthfully, this is where their story begins; where they are forged in the Hellfire and the Brimstone.
This story takes place at Hellfire and Brimstone Academy, which is located on the outskirts of the fictional city of Orion. At H&B the children who were taken are trained to be Holy Knights while also receiving a formal education. Holy Knights are just one of the many branches of Demon Hunters. What sets Holy Knights apart, though, is that they use weapons that are powered with their souls; each weapon is unique to the user. I guess you could think of the user's soul as chakra, and I would be happy to explain further to anyone interested.
Anyway.
The plot would follow a group(or however many we want) of students in their last year at H&B Academy. They're being released into the world knowing that the only way to graduate is to kill demons and to survive.
+The students range from ages 18-23, as they weren't all taken at the same age. +As I said earlier, their souls are like chakra and that's what powers their Soul Weapons. +The more you exercise your soul, the stronger it gets. That said, there is a limit. +Demons can take many different forms, though most prefer to appear human. +There are other branches of Holy Knights, each with something that makes them unique. I have some in mind, but would love to create more. +The bloodline of a Demon Hunter is what sets them apart from a Regular. I will go into depth on this if you are interested in this story. +I'm kinda picturing a Steampunk/1800s London vibe meets Lovecraft. Feel me?
+I tend to write with female leads, but I'm happy to double. +Light romance is okay, but FTB only. +Looking for someone to help me create this world. There is so much that can be done. +Leaning towards dark and gritty. +I'm a married bartender, which means I write for fun and when I have time. You probably won't get a post everyday, but I'll always let you know if there will be a delay. +I like friends!
