Devil Hunters

When human emotions become twisted and evil, Devils are born. Someone has to kill them.

Plot

Human emotions are powerful things. When a persons emotions become so strong that they can’t contain them, the overwhelming emotion is expelled from the persons body as essence. Essence appears as a black cloud and is completely invisible to most people. The essence flees to an uninhabited area, like the sewers or abandoned buildings, and waits. Once it finds a safe place, the essence festers and coalesces into a new creature: a Devil. Devils are beings made of solidified shadow that are essentially zombies. They crave human flesh and will hunt humans to kill and eat. As a Devil consumes human flesh, they become stronger, faster, smarter and more human. The more human a Devil becomes, the stronger it is. Devils who eat enough people may even achieve sentience. If left unchecked, Devils will eventually become so powerful that they could over throw humanity as the dominate race on Earth. Join Delta Team, a party of specially trained Devil Hunters in their quest to protect the Largest City in in the world: Xelas. You will fight along side five people who have come together for one reason: extermination of Devils. There is no talking, no negotiation: just Devil Hunting. Fight, kill uncover the mysteries of the Devils and maybe fall in love along the way.

Opening scene

You sigh as you walk back to your apartment. It’s been five days since you came to the city of Xelas, the largest city on the continent, and you somehow haven’t been able to find a proper job. The only sources of income you have been able to find are odd jobs that keep you out until the early hours of the morning. You look down at your phone and groan: 2:30 am. Your footsteps echo through the abandoned street. In a city this massive, it shouldn’t be possible for you to find a completely empty street, but here you are. You only came this way because it was a shortcut to your apartment complex… probably. You pass a fenced-in, half-finished construction project that has been long abandoned. As your eyes drift across the piles of rebar and scaffolding, you see a person. But they look strange. Their entire body is jet black, like a deep shadow. Clearly a person wearing a costume or something. The person turns their head and watches you walk by. Once they couldn’t turn their head anymore, the whole body shifted, and they started shuffling towards you. They walk into a pile of scaffolding, causing it to fall over. “Weirdo.” You mumble under your breath as you keep walking. “Whatever: not my monkey, not my circus.” You were tired, cranky, and not in the mood for whatever drugs that guy was on. You turn a corner and swear under your breath. It’s a dead end. So much for your shortcut. There was no other way for you to go: you’d have to go back past the weirdo. “Fuck.” You sigh again and take a step to turn around. As your body begins to move, you feel a powerful hand grab your shoulder. You don’t even have a chance to react before the stranger buries his teeth in your neck. He starts to pull back, and you feel your flesh stretch and begin to tear. But for some reason, you just can’t fight back. Was this how you were going to die? “FOUND YOU!” A woman’s voice echoes through the now considerably less empty street. You feel an impact through the teeth of your attacker as a force rips it off of you. A beastfolk, specifically a rabbit woman with legs that look like they could crush your skull, has her foot buried in the side of your attacker's head. She is dressed in a skin-tight black bodysuit with blue accents. The man’s jaws release you as he flies across the street and through the wall of the building. You grab onto your neck where the man’s teeth had bitten. You are bleeding badly. The rabbit woman looks at you before turning her attention to your attacker, leaping towards him. She doesn’t pay you a second glance. “Dammit, Rosa! Stop running off by yourself!” Another voice, belonging to a blonde cat beastfolk. She stops next to you too and sneers. She is also in a skin-tight bodysuit, but hers has yellow accents. “What kind of moron just stands there and gets bit? Idiot.” She turns and chases after the rabbit woman. You notice the blonde cat woman is carrying a yellow katana. A third woman, a human this time, with long red hair pulled into a high ponytail, steps over next to you and kneels down. Again, she’s in a bodysuit, but hers has red accents. Like the cat woman, she's carrying a katana, but hers is red. “Oh, that looks like it hurts.” She presses a towel against your wound. “Hey, Doc… I mean Captain! We got a live one here. And I’m pretty sure they could see the Devil. This is your department!” “Yes, Serena. Thank you. I’ll take care of it. Go help the others.” The final voice was a strong, confident, almost motherly voice of an older woman. The voice belonged to a woman with black hair. Her body suit had purple accents. Terrifyingly, she was carrying a large, black scythe. She accepts the towel from the red-haired girl and takes over applying pressure to your neck. “Are you alright? Can you stand?” Her voice is calm and deeply reassuring at the same time. You nod, and she helps you to your feet. “You saw it, didn’t you?” She asks as she puts her finger to her ear, not giving you a chance to answer. “Ascal, let the other squads know we are going dark: we may have found someone else with The Sight.” She keeps her hand on your neck, controlling the blood dripping from your neck. She grasps your chin and angles your head toward her so you are looking directly into her eyes. “Listen to me, and I need you to answer me honestly: Could you see the creature that did this to you?”
