Novel will break into 3 main parts; Hell, Purgatory and Paradise - Yes, just like Dante's Divine Comedy.

S T R U C T U R E

Life Is Hell
(Hell)
Introduction to characters and their world filled with daemons.

What's Past is Now Present (Purgatory)
Mostly flashbacks that lead to everyone's situation and mindset from Part 1. Showing how some people have regrets they can't let go of (inner daemons)

The plans of The Burnt start to take shape and things start to get violent.

O U T L I N E


In a World With Daemons


D A E M O N ----T O U C H E D
People whose lives have been effected by a daemon in some way, generally one sided, the person cannot stop the daemons influence. It's like catching a chronic disease.
Ex:
Virginia - At the moment of trying to kill herself a daemon came into her life and decided to make sure she could never kill herself so that Virginia would be forced to suffer through a life she hates. Daemons find these kinds of pranks hilarious.

D A E M O N ----W E E N E D
People who were stolen at birth. They disappear for a year or more before randomly showing up with a daemon mark somewhere on their body. Some people see this to mean that the child is forever property of the daemon. No one knows what happens to the children when they are in the possession of the daemon. These children are pitied but feared, no one wants to adopt them into their family so instead the tradition started of them being bought and sold as servants or house workers. They generally return with a strange daemon themed name that marks them as different from non Daemon Weened people.
Ex:
Xairyn - Stolen 4 days after being born, now carries the daemon mark of Lamashtu on her clavicle.

D A E M O N ----P A I R E D
When a daemon takes on a role of servitude to a human, at a price. Unknown to most humans this price continues into the after life where the roles are reversed.
Ex:
Dante - The daemon Vhelic preforms minor tasks and magical wishes for Dante. Having also having given him wealth and genius.

T H E ----B U R N T
Daemon Weened people who have burnt the daemon mark from their skin so that the daemon looses power over them. They form a group who are secretly working to counter the daemon influence in the world.
Members: Farlee, Merrick, Everett (Have changed their names so they are no longer seen as Daemon Weened)

E N L I G H T E N M E N T
The act of breaking a daemon bond. The Enlightenment is a universal goal that The Burnt hope to achieve.

+ Important daemon characters along with their daemon marks.

Dante and Virginia are named after their famous literature counter parts. Xairyn however has a daemon name because she was Daemon Weened (stolen at birth) which is why her name is so different from the general population. Dante and Virginia have characteristics of their counterparts that show in their behaviour or in general story structure.


D A N T E

- Kid who sold his memories to a daemon for wealth, power and influence.
- Is slowly urged to question his past and falls into a lost confused state when questioning his motives.
- Goes through an identity crisis.

V I R G I N I A
- Has been trying to kill herself for years but due to a daemon taking interest in her life she continuously comes to life after every suicide attempt. Not immortal, would die if in any other circumstance that was not her own fabrication.

X A I R Y N
- Serves as Dante's body guard while being a part of the society known as The Burnt, a group of people wanting to break ties with daemons.
- Believes in bringing about World Enlightenment (removing daemons completely from the world)

O U T L I N E


S O U N D T R A C K


1. Florence + The Machine - Shake it Out
Regrets collect like old friends/Here to relive your darkest moments/I can see no way, I can see no way/And all of the ghouls come out to play


2. Mother Mother - O My Heart
And I throw my heart back to the ocean/but it don't go far, it come back floating/and I watch it wash up with the bad fish

3. Florence + The Machine - What the Water Gave Me
Lay me down/Let the only sound/Be the overflow/Pockets full of stones

4. Metric - Blindness
Send us a blindfold, send us a blade/Tell the survivors help is on the way/I wanna leave but the world won't let me go

5. Bloc Party - Pioneers
You said you were going to conquer new frontiers,/Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast/We promised the world, we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?

6. Adele - Someone Like You
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded/That for me it isn't over.

7. Kalafina - Magia
If I can follow my path without wavering, I care not if my heart shatters./I wish I had a spell/to stand against the sadness

8. Bloc Party - Always New Depths
All the clouds are black, mother is cried out/Someone else broke my fall/I don't remember
