Concept (bc it’s not fleshed out enough to have a blurb):
- There’s a society separated by “supernaturals” (SNs) who are lower class, and non-supernaturals (Pures) who are middle, high, and elite class.
- Pures run society and government, so abuse, killings, and general misconduct against SNs are an everyday occurrence.
- The hub for SNs is the Underground. Seedy areas that thrive at night with mobsters, petty criminals, social clubs, and lost souls.
- A Pure experimenter works with a group of Pures who are part of a [name_f]Secret[/name_f] Society. They’re all elites who marry SN spouses under the guise that they are progressive and support SN equality.
- He experiments on their offspring in order to find a “cure” for SNs. These SN spouses are none the wiser to this scheme when they first marry but are trapped once the abuse begins.
- Many of these SN/Pure elite marriages function like this, but members of this [name_f]Secret[/name_f] Society have designed it so each member can fallback on another if suspicions arise. These radical Pures see themselves as paying the ultimate sacrifice for “pairing” with SNs so the experiments can be conducted.
- Another one of these hybrid children ends up dead, and the wife, oblivious to the experiments that were going on, insists an investigation be done. Pure husband agrees, believing nothing will come of it.
- This Pure man has remarried many times and has had many hybrid children with his SN wives. He’s also adopted SN children for the experiments, leading him to have many under his guardianship all at once. Some have escaped in the past and reached adulthood, though are strangers to each other.
- Our protagonist, “[name_u]Silver[/name_u]” owes a lot of money, and gets himself hired as the P.I. for the dead girl’s case. He’s not an investigator but regards it as just another murder and figures he can lie and get big bucks bc the woman is an elite.
- He discovers who her husband is, and being that he is one of the sons who escaped, becomes committed to solving the case to get revenge on his father.
- Our second protagonist is “[name_u]Shadow[/name_u],” who, like [name_u]Silver[/name_u]," escaped the same household. She investigates crimes against SNs for a living. She also leads the resistance group that hopes to revolt and destroy the Anti-SN conspiracy. She has tabs on all the surviving children. She despises people like [name_u]Silver[/name_u] because he’s “an Underground lowlife and prostitute” and “just another Undergrounder that makes SNs look bad.”
- Both get wrapped up in the case, chaos ensues, and a war between Pures and SNs ignites. [name_u]Shadow[/name_u] can no longer allow the mudering bigots to hide in broad daylight; [name_u]Silver[/name_u] only needs to ruin his Father. Both are willing to do whatever it takes but neither are prepared for what they may risk — and lose, in the process.
I’ll refrain from the excerpt from now, seeing as I put too much stuff above lol (I even removed details!)
Extras: The setting is before real-world modern technology. Think old European architecture, grand, dirty cities, carriages, etc. But with a magic twist. Supernaturals are born with unique abilities or magic. “[name_u]Silver[/name_u]” goes by “[name_u]Silver[/name_u] Devil” as his Underground name and has the ability to manipulate a person by saying exactly what they want to hear in the moment. Because of this, he has a keen insight on the emotion-driven actions of others/can vaguely predict the actions of others in highly emotional states. His ability is referred to as [name_u]Silver[/name_u]-Tongue or simply, [name_u]Silver[/name_u], as his tongue and eyes turn that color when he uses it. He often uses cigarette smoke to mask this if need be, as to not reveal himself.
I think I’ve said enough! Thanks for providing this outlet for me to word vomit in 
I could seriously type forever!
