There are things that go bump in the night. Weres, zombies, vampires, in truth they are nothing but demons, but who are the ones that bump back? The order of the Holy Cross are the only defense against these monsters and more. Every year potential Exorcists are brought to the Holy Cross Academy, those touched by the demons are scarred not physically but spiritually, granting them the power to see these creatures in our world. They are the only ones capable of fighting back against the invasion.
Had this idea not too long ago, kinda like the Furry highschool RP from decades ago but with a touch more action added in. The premise is the characters living and training in the school and surrounding township.
I've worked a few things out but would like some feedback. For starters everyone will appear human at the very least if not be human. The Exorcists do not accept demons or demonic stuff, they will shoot first and then maybe ask a question along the lines of 'Right through the eyes how badass was that?'. So you are allowed to be a demonspawn or partially possessed and keep your demonic powers sealed away till needed giving you the appearance of a human but if exposed infront of the wrong people it could mean your death.
As for the more actiony parts the Exorcists each have diffrent roles:
Knight: Quick fighters favoring swords and blades, usually at the front of any attack.
Doctor: Specializing in medical skills using holy magic, can use their magic against certain types of demons, mainly possessions, but overall weak in combat.
Dragoon: Back line fighters specializing in enchanted firearms. They often carry a number of guns loaded with special rounds to cater to the situation.
Chanter: Each species of demon is vulnerable to a specific type of chant in the holy language. The chanters are the second smallest in number due to the difficulty of learning and memorizing the many chants, though their power is second to none.
Summoner: The summoner is easily the rarest of the Cross's warriors. Capable of summoning and controlling demonic forces to fight for them. They are a rarity because it requires a natural gift to even have the potential to become a summoner. They are not in control of their demons entirely, the demons obey so long as their summoner's will is stronger than their own, but should it falter the summoned demons will not hesitate to strike against their summoner, making their's a difficult role to master.
You'd be capable of having a main an sub class. A sub class will grant some abilities from it but will not be as strong as a main class.
Example: a Knight/Doctor will be as strong as a knight while having access to some healing, though to a lesser degree than a main class doctor. And likewise a Doctor/Knight will be capable of fighting but to a lesser degree than a MC Knight.
If anyone's interested and would like to brainstorm a bit speak up.
