Questionable Questing

I'm cool with whatever, had a headache earlier but now I'm actually feeling a lot better. In fact funny enough I'm not really that sore at all from the Hike, so I might start doing it more. Maybe see about getting in better shape.

Did you write for Mark and could talk about Jaques and Whitely or potential idea I have swirling around for horror smut setting. Your call.

Would love to hear a horror smut Idea. I mean you know how I feel about horror books. lol. Plus I did a little writing but not as much as I would like, had to do some chores since I didn't do it yesterday.

You will write more tomorrow or sometime soon this week. As will I tomorrow. Inner demons. Its the idea that always swirls in my head. Inherent corruption with the idea being ascension, the divine, is corrupt and heaven is a black hell.

A seducer and bringer of damination using his inner devil to protect his family and friends and ruin his enemies while other demonic nobles circle around threatening to destroy his life.

Not a big fighter so much as a social threat.

Sorry I was making some brownies, they are currently in the oven right now. But ascension, what is it? What are the divine and what are their goals and personalities? And is this a story about someone searching for the truth no matter the cost to their mind or body? Or is this someone looking for power to protect the ones he loves no matter the cost?

Protect their loved ones and advance their family's position while staying decent as much as they can. Ascension being the idea of the soul is a sleeping demon and waking it lets that demon out. A force of transformation and corruption and rule.

Take that dawnwalker idea you brought to me before and for those who Christan their inner demons to become protective angels instead of ego driven ravenous spirits urging mad desires.

Well with the vil nobles, how entrenched or powerful are the debraved and hedonistic ones? Since Ascension is all about realizing your own darker desires and embracing them rather than trying to control them. And why are they targeting our MC?

Because their demon possessed and a servant family like his is fair game for their revels. There was a recent change in guard because of a war. The Dawnwalkers suffered losses while the old school hedonists are on the rise while the Dawnwalkers recover.

Nice little shadow wars between the rich and powerful with conspiracies all around is so much fun. I was just about to ask how well known is the whole Ascension process is. but another big question, is how much control do they have? I'm assuming the more you embrace your darker side, just like the sith, the more you lose control and slowly go become a megalomaniac even as you grow stronger in power.

But what's the time frame on all that and how much can you fight it off? As well as what's the cutoff point where there's no coming back?

At a certain point they either die or become so powerful they need to be regulated by others who aren't as powerful or locked away.

Locked away huh? I bet you there are hidden caves or ancient crumbling dungeons were stupidly powerful evil perverted wizards are chained away, just waiting for a naive adventurer to release them with whispers of power and gold as a bribe. lol.

Indeed. Hidden monsters offering power. Like say one offering a way to awaken the Demon inside our protag and let him rise from minor servant to something far far greater. For a price of morality slipping and burning away piece by piece

Its either that or returning soldier from war who's a vampire werewolf demon demigod idea I had before which has a more limited set compared to the seducer devil.

The werewolf idea I'm leaning more towards.

Different then my usual sorcerer protag focus.

I'm leaning towards werewolf because I think the powers, symbolism, and rituals are a little more on point, but their both dealing with the same themes and ideas of a person chasing their own desires and goals for seemingly altruistic reasons, slowly revealing it's for selfish one, as they fight back against a controlling and unjust government trying to control them.
