Little concept idea for you for DOOMau.
Idk if you’ve already got ideas for the main antagonist/antagonists, but I thought I’d share my silly idea. Now these randomly popped into my head so idk how it would exactly fit into the story but it’s good to throw out ideas right?
Ok so: villains!! I’m just gonna go off the mw antagonis.
Humans can become Demons, that’s been confirmed. I’m thinking they can become Demons in a few certain ways. First: demon eater, which we already know. Second: dying and being sent to hell. Now here is where I bring up Shepherd. He was killed years back by Price after Shepherd betrayed him and sold him out to demon apologists. In hell he quickly rose the ranks due to his knowledge in human military tactics, which causes the untimely demise of earths military leading to the rise of individual demon hunter groups, and causes Shepherd to have a nice cushy deal in Hell as a general there.
Graves and shadow company is a rival demon hunter group. I haven’t really thought this one through as much but I can see the potential. Maybe if it’s combined with the shepherd storyline and grave is selling information to him in order to keep shepherd in power and for shadow company to be the only “reliable” demon hunter group.
Makarov as like THE demon. He’s second only to the king or something and thinks the souls in hell deserve heaven and earth as much as any mortal or angel do. Nevermind the fact most of hells inhabitants are the scum of nature and are in hell for a reason. I think he used to be human like Shepherd and he was an Ultranationalist and committed so many war crimes and atrocities, until he was eventually put down by Soaps grandfather Captain MacTavish (I like the idea of 09 soap being soaps dad or granddad. It’s just an interesting idea to me) and his team. So he has an extra chip on his shoulder for the 141.
I don’t know of this is anything but I just wanted to yap :))
Absolutely banger ideas and I am running with the Makarov one
Better yet if he was taken out by Ghost when he was still human with the help of Captain MacTavish. Ghost doesn't realize the relation until they encounter Demon!Makarov for the first time, and he remarks how much Soap looks like his grandfather.
I also had this idea of a demon that can shapeshift to mimic people. The 141 encounters some strange things (Makarov moving demons around in more strategic ways, something that hasn't been seen before) and it's after the two or three times they've seen the Demon Eater (Ghost unbeknownst to them)
Price says he knows someone that can give them some information/help: MacMillan
MacMillan retired from demon hunting after a really bad injury, so he hid himself away in a very secure bunker. Price takes them all with him, and when inside, MacMillan says Ghost needs to sit in a specific spot. Ghost catches onto it being a chair with sigils burned into the back and underneath, but he sits anyway.
MacMillan goes on a crazy rant/story about Simon Riley's origins leading up to his becoming a Demon Eater. But the whole time Price is slowly realizing that this isn't MacMillan, so he completely ignores the whole "One of my teammates has a diet consisting primarily of demons and he isn't fully human now because of that" so he can focus more on the "my mentor and man who was a better father than my actual father is not actually him, he's a demon. Which means the actual MacMillan is dead and I have to accept that even though I spent so long thinking he was still alive."
Big fight happens, turns out it was also a trap by Makarov. Obviously they get out this time and on the way to the base, Price stops the car to address the whole Demon Eater thing
Soap and Gaz are on the same page of "we kind of figured he wasn't fully human" but for completely different reasons. Soap's being the things he felt in my little snippet and Gaz's being the half angel in him always feeling a bit on edge around Ghost
They just kind of accept he's truly on their side after he tells the story from his perspective, and he gets to remove his mask. Soap realizes he's definitely a monster fucker because holy handsome man
