About Ghoul

Hello out there,

I’d like to talk about the story “Ghoul” I’m crafting. I’m only eight thousand words into the story and have been world-building as I go.

I figured I could stop and write out my ideas about the characters and the monsters in this book.

First is Noemi, she is the protagonist. She is a ghoul that eats a necromancer and absorbs its power. Her new necromancy powers take over and she begins the process of becoming human again. Noemi was born and raised in our time (the 2020s), died a quick death in a car accident (Huge chunk of metal in her head), and has been undead for over 200 years. She is still a ghoul but is prettied up by her new necromancy powers. That being said, she is stronger than an average human and quicker than one as well. She doesn’t remember dying and thinks it’s just another day. She’s also a half Mexican Texan.

There are Liam and Alben who accidentally captured Noemi in a bear trap. I haven’t decided what to do with them yet. I was thinking about potentially making Liam a love interest as he is around the same age as Noemi when she died.

Liam and Alben are the leaders of a sanctuary/safe-house. They are hiding from the vampires who took over the country.

Because Noemi is an over 200-year-old Ghoul, that makes the timeline 200 years in the future. Noemi doesn’t know this, obviously.

Wait, you just skipped over the Vampires thing!”

Right now…? You made that up right now?

Yes.

There’s also an undead creature called a Lich. They are undead that absorb energy through touch. These are pretty much undead necromancers. They are the key component to keeping humans at bay. They originally raised zombies for the Vampires to round up humans. They aren’t needed as much anymore but they are definitely still around. They are actually used to show what will happen if people try to escape. They drain the escapee humans and raise them back from the dead. They then keep them alive for a few days.

The environment. Highly technological cities everywhere are now abandoned ghost towns. Some machines that haven’t broken down yet are still cleaning and taking care of cities for absolutely no one.

That’s about all I want to share today. I know it’s a lot but it’s the framework I’ve built. I hope you enjoyed it!
