Yeah, I did this before. It was great.
Ask me questions about any of the things below. You can grill me and make me repeat myself. You don’t have to look at previous posts to see if you are asking the same question as other people.
I will, in turn, ask you questions. We can chat about our world building and characters and maybe work out issues and stuff on the way. Who knows? We can brainstorm, too.
How to begin? Tell me something about your main character, ask me a few questions, and we’ll go from there 
Don’t feel like you have to ask a lot if you don’t have anything much.
World: Strangearth (it’s like our world, but not really)
Country: Arcanland (inspired by 1850-1890s USA. Has 30 states.)
In Arcanland, demons are everywhere. It’s so common that people don’t think too much of it, and Arcans have learned that as long as you’re not mean to demons, they won’t do anything to you. Not even possession.
Books: An omniscient duology called Their Posthumous Lives duology. Everything here is based on book 1, Project Demon Friend.
Creatures:
Demon
Intelligent creatures in all shapes and sizes. They live in the world of the dead, the underworld, or hell if you prefer to call it. Contracting with humans is how they get to the land of the living. One demon per one human. The human will gain powers and the demon will gain souls. There’s high ranks and lesser demons.
Demonic creature
These can vary from high intelligence humanoids to instinct-living animals. They don’t need to contract with humans to go to the land of the living. Various shapes and sizes. Not all of them speak.
Angellic
Debating on if I should rename them, so people don’t imagine beings with wings. They’re beings of light and more like amoeba than creatures with intelligence. They live on instincts. If the humans are clown fish, they are the sea anemone. They protect the human and give half their powers, and humans give them access to “misfortune“ energy (haven’t fleshed this out yet).
Other:
- “the fallen“: angellics who have been thrown out of the heavens
- “the outcast“: demons who have been exiled for breaking the law
- “the disgraced“: one case so far. It’s a creature that belongs nowhere as it broke the laws of angellics and demons. The single case one is called “the Disgraced Imperfect“ based on its true form being hideous after a failed pursuit of perfection.
Organizations:
The Red Circle
Richard’s assassin organization. Previously, he would get hired to murder. Now he tells his members who to go after based on the gray clouds or melting faces he sees. At least 30 people currently belong here, both old and new. They leave a blood circle behind in the crime scene as their signature.
Horned ram cult
a.k.a The Protectors of Light cult. Sacrifices servant girls and women to get wishes granted. Not much else is known in most of book 1 until the end.
Main Characters:
Richard
Immortal assassin on his seventh life cycle. Eternally 32. Handlebar mustache. Can see glimpses of the future. Has vampiric tendencies in that he gains adrenaline from drinking blood. He sees greedy, terrible people as being covered is gray clouds or having melting faces. His goal in life is to “cleanse the world“ and get rid of them.
Charcoal
a.k.a Vassago. A demon prince who has contracted with Richard for all his lives. He talks like a posh British gentleman and lands a number of sarcastic remarks. Like all demons, he finds humans entertaining and fascinating. As a demon, he has many powers. One of them is seeing the future.
Mallord
50s. Retired legendary detective turned children’s mystery book series writer. Alias is Millard Jason. He can see glimpses of the future, and gets this power from his angellic. Unlike most humans, he knows who his angellic is and has met it in the spirit realm. Mallord comes from a corrupted family.
Allen
early 50s. Illegally resurrected by Mallord 30 years ago (why? hmm, you can ask). Reinvented his life. Illegal resurrection means that he can’t talk about it at all out loud or he’ll die immediately.
Michael
15 years old. Mallord’s son. May or may not be protected by an angellic on the verge of corruption. Involved in Will’s gang. Is very protective of his sister Rose and joined the gang to become stronger. Distant from his father.
Anastasia
40s. An escaped servant who is on a mission to find her missing husband. Originally from Ruskava and wants to go home. Has a sixth sense power called ektora which is often also found in trained mediums. Was a nurse. No children.

Pronoun: it. Poses as a demonic creature, but it’s actually the infamous Disgraced Imperfect. This is a big secret. Lived with Richard two years so far and does household chores in exchange for food and shelter. It has two forms: Tommy (stuck-up stable boy) and Anna (kind, middle-aged woman).
Other characters:
Will
22 years old. gang leader. Called, “broccoli hair“ behind his back. Anger issues. Cult member. Comes to own a ship called the Florence which belongs to the cult.
Penelope
late 40s. Mallord’s wife. Determined to keep her nosy husband retired and her family safe. She’ll even withhold information from people looking for his help. Her being the wife of Mallord is a secret. They think she’s married to Millard Jason, Mallord’s alias.
Rose
10 years old. Has Down’s Syndrome (not diagnosed yet). Mallord and Penelope’s daughter. Protected by angellic. Has the power to turn nightmares into good dreams, can have out-of-body experience at night while dreaming, and can do other dream-related things.
