So I write Sci Fi or a Sci-Fi, Fantasy blend and since this is a fairly heavily cliched subject I want to avoid that as much as possible, or at least warp those cliches into something a little more intriguing. I can't go through the whole story at once, so I'll just post my first question and based on that see if I need to ask more.
So in the story the world was destroyed by demons. They aren't biblical demons, but simply people or things infected by rage and hate so much that it takes control of them and turns them into monsters. After the first war they were all locked away behind a large wall that stretched almost all of the way across the northern US (in the north). Its been fifty years and the world is starting to rebuild itself.
The main character is a demon, or on his way to becoming one. The infection started on his arm when he was 19 years old and even though it is fifty years after he was infected he is still in a twenty year old body and not a full demon. He does this by killing someone and possessing their body. Not necessarily the nicest guy. His method is to wait till he is almost thirty then trade his body for one that is around twenty, so only every ten years. His motivation?
His only goal in life is to find and kill the demon that killed his mother, and infected him (ironic right); the demon was sent to the other side of the wall but broke back through. His mother was killed by one of the first demons and thus one of the most powerful demons, and it has taken this long for him to finally catch up to it. The story starts with a brief fight with the demon and as the story progresses the character finds himself becoming attached to a small town, falling in love, and battling a large force of demons that have gotten through the wall and if unchecked will probably end up causing another apocalypse.
The main choice of the novel is whether or not he chooses to fight the horde of demons or hunt down the demon that killed his mother. Would it be cliched if he chose the latter and let the world be destroyed?
