Idea

This idea had been bouncing around in my head for the longest time. Years.

Everyone is assigned a personal demon to stalk them and make their lives miserable in general. They are genderless but tend to take on a humanoid form.

You, being normal and human, can’t see or interact with your demon - but you know it’s there, watching you. Burning your toast, popping open the door to the freezer so everything gets frost bite, moving your keys around.

Unbeknownst to you - it has also been watching you on your bad days; the way you wear pajamas and ignore your phone. The way you scream at the television screen in overly enthusiastic tones when the characters finally kiss - or when you beat that level you’ve been stuck on for hours. It has watched you fall in love, out of love. It has heard you cry in the shower, sob yourself to sleep after a rough day.

It has learned of your favorite color, your favorite comfort food. It knows the way you wrinkle your nose when you sneeze and that you enjoy wearing fuzzy socks on cold fall days.

It has found itself craving your company and, much to its horror, feeling jealousy when you begin to show ardor towards another.

It knows you can’t see it, feel it, touch it. But sometimes, when you sleep, it will stand over you, running its fingers over the lines of your face. It doesn’t see the acne along your hair line, or the scars that pepper your face from that bad bout of chicken pox when you were five. It sees this complicated soul; the nuances and inner-workings beyond the flesh. An infectious bright spark.

It knows its caress will bring you nightmares and once upon a time that would have brought it immense, dark pleasure - now it tries to restrain itself. It doesn’t want to hurt you; merely to be with you, to connect in some way.

So when you bring someone home for the first time in years its anger unfurls in possessive fury. And as your relationship grows it does its best to intervene, selfishly. Despite the escalation of violence, the screaming. Its twisted heart is pleased that its plan is working… this is its purpose… its reason. And yet… unrest sits in its chest as it hears you cry - again… alone.

But it needs you. It wants you.

And, in its broken way, it loves you.

Red Flags Prompt

She held on tightly.

Not because she wanted to, because she had no choice. No choice.

She couldn’t help herself even as she was ripping herself to shreds. It was all she could do to hold on to him as he curled into himself, weeping bitterly, nursing the new wounds.

She thought that was what she had wanted - if he had hurt him then he would leave and she could have Abidan all to herself again… but- she looked down at her human; his hand gripping tighter around her own so much so that her claws dug into his flesh, pricking the skin.

Nothing compared to the bruises littering his body, the broken things around the apartment, the unsettled air heavy and thick in the darkness. His blunt nails dug into the back of her hand as he sniffled, wiping at his raw, swollen face with violence. Her heart shattered in its paltry victory.

Zee observed the weapon in her hand. The skin was torn at the knuckles, veins protruding over the pale, dark flesh, nails bitten too short, one ripped off and bleeding. Her eyes trailed over the arm that it was attached to, up to the now silent figure. Vacant eyes stared ahead unblinking.

“Fuck my life, huh?”

The words were typical his sense of humor.

Never had a blade plunged so deep into her heart.

#Red Flags #master list #madammuffins #original novel

Abidan

Race: Human

Age: 32

Appearance: Always painted in bruises and minor cuts. His hair is dark and tightly curled, he tries to keep it short. He has hazel blue green eyes and is almost sickly pale and thin. He’s not the intimidating type, practically invisible in a crowd.

Power: As a human he has no true powers except for a nearly heavenly pure soul that seems to attract or pull out the worst in those around him; human, animal, demon.

Personality: Abidan has grown from an optimistic, if timid, child to a truly apathetic adult. He’s seen the worst in everything around him. To deal with the trauma he’s developed a very dry, self deprecating sense of humor. He still has hope for his life buried deep, deep down but he won’t admit it out of fear that the worst will happen as soon as he does.

Relationships: Abidans parents gave him up for adoption, unable to handle the constant barrage of negativity and horror. His last foster/adoptive family had him for years but they weren’t good people. Zee is his only companion. He knows his codependency on her isn’t healthy but he needs her. Other humans soon tend to be corrupted around him - either by their own darkness or their demons influence. Sometimes out of Zee’s jealous rage. Other demons tend to be inexplicably pulled to Abidan, with Zee expounding the situation until she stops it or a hospitalization is involved.

Idea: The idea of Abidan is to be an opposite to the female roles of a similar nature. He’s the pure, inexperienced, codependent, awkward idiot. Unlike Zee he is completely underwhelming. No one picks him out of a crowd, he’s not very attractive - just normal, antisocial. Except for his untainted light living within him.

Zee

Race: Demoness

Age: Immortal

Appearance: Her skin is like white marble and gold veined. Her hair is pale and she emits a faint blue aura that increases in color and intensity when she is using her “skills”. No matter what form she takes she is always this coloring.

Power: Aside from basic demon powers her speciality is magnifying. If her assigned human is a natural klutz her presence has just increased the likelihood of accidental death by tripping up stairs 20% on any given day.

Personality: Zee is fucked up and has no remorse for her past, future, or present actions. She enjoys hurting humans and she is good at what she does. The pain she inflicts sustains her and she will never change. She’s brutal and domineering and possessive. And maybe that odd sense of ownership is where her love, as twisted as it may be, sprouted from.

Relationships: We really only focus on her around Abidan. She originally is indifferent until, after years, he brings someone home and she realizes very passive aggressively that she’s not anymore (how dare someone else touch her thing). We see a brief interaction with a past human assignment - she’s frantic, desperate, unhinged. Her interactions with other demons become increasingly aggressive and defensive as suspicions of her feelings for the flesh bag get out.

Idea: The idea behind her character design is to make her as appealing from afar as possible. Like an angler fish. The closer you get to her the less you think ‘holy’ and the more your skin starts to crawl, your hair stands on end, something in your gut grows heavy.

Within arms reach she’s terrifying; inhuman. She’s eerie; off. Too perfect. Which makes the atrocities she commits just that much worse imo. I got tired of the red/black demon spiel. Gimme a white demon.

Zee is as old as the world! Probably. Maybe. She can’t really remember that far back, and time blurs together after a while. She does know that once humans started their witch hunts her kind moved to their own dimension, a pocket that mirrored Earth. Residing both beside and within it simultaneously. Magic in the mortal realm is faint and waning, but still her kind is common. Humans and “demons” and they’ve come to be called, are tightly woven together after all.

Zee’s special gift is amplification. Her job is to use her talent to grant mortals whatever their silly desires are for their short, pathetic lifespans in exchange for something her bosses want or need. It’s for magic. It essential to magic. It’s not just waning on one side of the coin anymore.

And then Abidan is born. The singular most accident prone human she has ever had the misfortune to lay her eyes on. Hilariously he also has the highest concentration of unadulterated magic dwelling within him since the Dark Ages; making his natural clumsiness all the worse - a natural magnet for everything foul. Every dark desire buried no matter how deep is brought to light around him, and Zee finds herself becoming a protector in her own twisted way. His guardian. His only constant, his companion… Until no longer can they tell who is relying on who and which one of them is tearing the other apart with their toxic version of love.

Characters (click names for character boards)

Zee - A demon with a contradictory color scheme she is absolutely the picture of power and s elf-assurance. When she finds herself falling for a weak mortal human her life quickly spirals both inwardly and with her own kind.

Abidan - The abuse he has suffered from a young age and the horrific things he has been exposed to has changed him to a sardonic, bitter man with a dry sense of humor. He keeps everyone at a distance - everyone but Zee.
