Original Story Project: Shadow Hunters

This one is more of an idea dump/just trying to pull together some stuff about the characters. I realize not all of the things on this- I'll call it a list- are technically complete thoughts.

---

Things are becoming unstable. They must put the world back to rights- restore the balance

An intelligent monster- can take on human form- maybe one of the main chars is descended from one? Wings? Tail?

Monsters are going mad-

Becoming power hungry?

Affected by chaotic…?

Lose sense of self?

Run wild

Ability to reason/logic

Monsters are corrupted?

Main chars don’t know this right off the bat

Govs are after this knowledge/power of them (monsters/main chars)

Bethesda and her father are gamers. She is named after the company because her father lost a bet. Power. Knows the most? Of their duties/the legends (but not that she is one of the eight) 14 or 15 years old? Half Japanese?

8 who keep things in check- fire, power, lightning, air, earth, water, light, darkness

Power binds the others

Guardians?

They are the Shadow Hunters?

The organization that works with the eight?

The old armies

Lots of knowledge is lost/no longer commonly known

Maybe they have to find certain artifacts?

Or the markers are merely identification- either magical/non-magical

Or markers and find artifacts?

Bethesda has a wand or staff (Wand that turns into a staff? Wand and a staff?)

Witches and wizards are ones who can summon monsters?- The monsters are bound to them or their will

Maybe the light girl is a witch? Or the darkness boy?

Darkness is college kid- dresses kind of goth, likes cute animals- keeps pics of them on his phone, half hispanic

Light does ballet- 17? Or 16? Darker blond than Lucy, grey boots, white leggings/pants, grey skirt with white fluff/layers underneath, white shirt, waivy hair?

Earth boy- Orange shirt, black jeans, red convers type shoes, maybe he plays baseball or is also a gamer?, wears fingerless gloves?, lighter brown hair (chestnut?), also plays kickball?, or maybe hockey?, 13 years old?, knee pads elbow pads, arm bracer thingies

Water and Wind- brother and sister (twins?), Chinese, teenagers

Wind- Yellow short sleeve button up (untucked), brown aviators jacket, swim team

Water- loves birds, light (mint?) green skirt, black leggings/knit pants, light blue shirt, black half jacket, light blue sneakers with green accents, braid? Name- Ara?

Lucy is Fire- 6 years old? Or 7? Artist prodigy. Visions? Red tu-tu, black tights, red buckled shoes, white t-shirt, very light blond, ponytail

Change the wraith colors from red and purple to light blue

Lightning- Dark blue hoodie, dark blue jeans, girl, black and white sneakers, blue hair? Hispanic?

So:

Darkness- black

Light- white, grey

Water- light blue

Wind- yellow

Fire- red

Lightning- dark blue

Power- Purple

Earth- Orange?
