What exactly is ‘Devil Children Story’?

Devil Children Story (abbreviated here on out as DCS) is what I am terming as an Interactive Storytelling Experience (or, ISE)

What is an ISE?

An ISE is a sort of experiment I am trying out. Basically, it is eighty percent of me writing all the chapters of the said story. The twenty percent, however, is community involvement. Basically, at the end of every chapter, I will post a link to a forum-poll where I will give a list of options for people to vote on. These choices will be events that occur in the next chapter. I will also allow community members to apply characters of their own creation, on a scale of Minor Role, Medium Role, and Major Role. I will then observe the applied characters, and decide at my own discretion if they will further the entertainment value of the story.

At the beginning of the month, I will also have a ‘Character Popularity’ poll, as featured in the Japanese manga magazine Shonen Jump. This will show me which characters need to be improved on in order to make them interesting characters.

What is the plot for the story?

In the year 2000, there was a massive explosion that engulfed all of Boston, the capitol of Massachusetts. Congress agreed to give the Boston Reconstruction Project Committee a massive sum of money to construct a Boston-Two. With the massive funds, it was completed in four years. However, during construction there were rumors going around of ghost appearing, but these were never proven.

Of course, these were actually true: demons have been passing into Massachusetts ever since the Salem Witch Trials. Unbeknownst to the settlers there, Massachusetts was basically a massive sacrificing table for the demons of Hell to pass through into the mortal realm in their physical form. Fortunately, the Governor of Massachusetts stopped the Trials before enough sacrifices were made to have all of North America a giant battle between man and demon. So, the field of war was reduced to only Massachusetts.

Upon the United States’ discovery of this after its Revolution, it created a secret organization known only as TERRA to battle the demons without the public knowledge. TERRA still exists to this day.

The year is now 2020. Stronger demons are proving capable of passing the dimension rift, and it won’t be long before TERRA will have to make its presence public and perform a mass evacuation and quarantine of Massachusetts. However, some children born after the explosion have shown traits similar to those of the demons – magic without the use of witchcraft (incantations, rune crafting, etc.). These children will prove invaluable to TERRA in its battle against the demon armies from Hell.

How much will this be updated?

Technically, I’d say once a week (what day of that week is up to my energy drive, my boredom scale, and of course if I manage to get it done), but considering my track record when it comes to release dates, take my words at a grain of salt.
