Thread: Do we decided who we want to be?

if one is half human and half spawn of satan, does one side dominate the other? or can there be balance? i think good could triumph evil or vise versa, or is it up to the person to decide?

well which version of satan are you going with? there are a couple different pre existing philosophies on satan already established. or are you making up your own? which ever the case you'd probably have to go with the rules that have been established for the version of satan that you're using. for example, if it's the christian version of satan then the rules for his half human offspring makes him a figure of religious lore called the antichrist.

well i have it where as he has many children, and all of them but a few embrace the evil side, but theres one who is more philosophical and intelligent than the others that choose the latter. so i guess im making up my own

good, that makes it easier then. you just have to establish the rules of your satan to the reader then.

could you give me an example of what you mean? i have an idea

what i mean is like the history of how he came to be who he is and what his motives are. Is he having children just to have them or does he have a plan for them? Is he the only mythological entity in the story or does he have allies and enemies closer to his level? You should do some exposition on him to make the foreground story of this one extraordinary offspring of his stand out a little more. i don't know if this helps.

This is rather important here. Opposition defines its self, so to speak. You can't have divine evil without divine good. Good defines what is evil and evil defines what is good, by opposition.
