If two presentations of good and evil end up working together and are capable of producing an offspring, who inherits both magics, will this rise some issues?
Sorry...I have to answer 'No', I am not sure it is controversial, but yes, I would be asking questions that I would have little expectation would be answered well.
Ok, so *to me*, demons are fallen angels, in broadly generic terms, so demons represent the corrupted ‘good’, and angels are the ‘uncorrupted’, so you would have the opportunity to explore a moral grey area potentially with this character…but how many moral grey area superheroes do we know of…well, all of them! So as long as you’re ok with using this as the basis for your character then it’s a go.
On the subject of exploring religion, there would be potential to offend, but would those people be your target audience? Would they be inclined to even pick your book up and read it? Perhaps not. I’ve read plenty of books that might offend the most pious out there, but I don’t think it should be out of bounds to explore religion in fiction, along with any other number of subjects that make up our humanity.
Is it controversial having a demon being and angel being mate?
I could just create my own made up mythical race and not call them demons or angels, and just have some similar physical features?Sorry...I have to answer 'No', I am not sure it is controversial, but yes, I would be asking questions that I would have little expectation
That's what I've heard. But if I make this fiction, I can completely make them look how I want and give them a different name? Like instead of feathered wings we see often, I used insect wings instead? There's so many animals/species out there I can base off of besides birds wings.No few of the biblical angels are downright terrifying. As to demons, despite the stigmata associated with
I would make up a fictional religion, that takes inspiration from many different ones.would put my radar up about where the writer is going with it and how they’re going to portray God and Christianity
Exactly!If you read the Apocrypha, you'll realize that angels and demons are basically the same creature, only split into two factions for so long it caused physiological changes
That's why I'd try to avoid using real religions.On the subject of exploring religion, there would be potential to offend, but would those people be your target audience?
I was thinking more about this one.found Good Omens, by Pratchett and Gaiman a great depiction of an (platonic) Angel - Demon relationship.
All these reasons would be explored throughout the story.the question is "will it work?" then that all comes down to the writing and worldbuilding. How different are these two beings? How different is there magic? It can work just fine. After all, Romeo and Juliette worked perfectly fine as a story.
If the question "will it give issues?" means "does it create conflict?" Then I'm sure it does. There is a lot of opportunity for conflict in this idea. Which is a good thing if you're trying to tell a story.
Thanks! Yrs it definitely does.These are my go-to's. They are full of names, details right out of the Apocrypha, and very inspirational. I hope this helps.
This is why it might be safer for me to make up a mythical race and religion. Or have no religion involved at all.And I have certainly seen plenty of stories that have shown Angels and Demons in many differently lights. The idea of them mating, though...I just roll my eyes, as Quesh said, and have a feeling of 'here it comes again'. As a Christain, we are used to it.
Made me chuckle just a bitWell, my wife's parents are finally cool with it.
Haha that's awesome. But honestly, I think that's a cool combo. Does anyone ever tell you that it sounds op? I've been told that before with my idea. Another idea I had was a werewolf/angelic hybrid, but have been told that would be one very op character as well.Shh my half dragon half angelic is sensitive about how her parents managed.
Certainly overpowered, and if you want to see one in action there's always Jupiter Ascending, which I actually liked. (I also love Howard the Duck. No judgy.)Haha that's awesome.
