I would say my idea is based on the last game in the Darksiders series, except instead of being one of the Horsemen, you are one of the few remaining humans, but during the centuries of war that ravaged the Earth during the previous games, man had become extinct but for a few hidden or imprisoned or worse, but even those were wiped out over time, Malignity is the last human alive and has no consciousness of his previous life, only the life he has been given and does everything within his power to rise above Heaven and Hell, and as he deals out potent vengeance against the worlds that ripped his apart, his power grows, and the potential for God-like powers make his final goal possible.
The Protagonist in the story, who calls himself Malignity, the last hope for the human race, finds himself encased in rock, only his face free, he is in an antechamber that seems to have been set for some sort of ritual, the many markings the lined the wall glowed a dim red while dancing occasionally, on further inspection he finds two bodies before him, dried blood flowed from their entwined arms, one was clearly an Angel of earth shattering beauty, the other, clearly a beautiful male Demon of some sort, both sacrificed to bring his imprisoned spirit back to this world, and to equip him with the tools he needed to succeed, as the memories of what is and how what is came to be blast through his find, his resolve forms and he unleashes the power within him, blasting his tomb of solid rock apart, Malignity deals out damage by harnessing a demonic power the rides his skin like a tattoo, the many intricate and chaotic tribal designs blend together to tell a story, but usually those who see the markings that indicate Malignity's power don't live to tell stories, a sweep of an arm sends a concussive force towards an enemy, much like stone club being swung at full force, or a swipe of the hand in the direction of the enemy's torso, and a wave of black slashes an enemy's torso, so that's a light explanation of the characters ethereal powers, Malignity is an omnipotent and imposing character, he has a range of devastating melee weapons that originate from a single blade, a nodachi that glows wicked red with Malignity's intent, (Options could be chain blades, quarter staff with two wicked blades on the end, demonic broadsword, wicked hammer etc etc) but he prefers to manipulate the ethereal demonic force that smashes and lacerates and rips foes apart.
He faces the hordes of Heaven and Hell, Heaven greatly weakened by the centuries of war, only steps into the fray when Malignity comes across lost artifacts which allow him to gain more of their powers, plenty of demons and fallen angels that switched sides move against him in a series of challenges that until you work your way to the heart of Hell and find out what makes it tick.
Maybe the final goal will be Malignity appearing before the counsel, with demands that the world be made anew, so that he and the female he picked up along the way cam start fresh.
sweet. Hope I win.
