i had a dream that was basically a mix between ao no exorcist, hellboy, and young avengers, and it was really weird, but even weirder, i can probably salvage most of it and say it's an original product.
David Katz is the main character, he didn't have a name in the dream but he was explicitly Jewish, so, since I'm gonna blatantly base his experience with Judaism on mine, I've named him after my two Jews I Have Known. The other main character is George Hsu, who was just named 'Andrew' in the dream, but I've changed his name to George because 'Andrew Hsu' is a bit too cutesy rhymey for me. Anyway, they've been dating for a year and go to a preppy private high school in NY.
also there are demons that David fights while sprouting wings and beating them with a flaming baseball bat. the basic premise seems to be ~all myths are true~ with a bent on christian lovecraftian shit, but I'll probably twist it around to make it that all myths are true due to how humans see the world and conceptualize good versus evil, which will lend itself to a device with which i can use to talk about David's fractured sense of judaism.
George goes along with David and knows about the whole demon fighting thing, George is himself terrified of hights so flying is difficult, also he is really into SJ fandom and is probably a BNF under a female pseudonym which is coincidentally his drag name.
george is my favorite
David has a younger brother whose defining characteristic, as per my dream, is that he's a huge fuckup. their mother is dead, and their father is an important ceo or something and is out of town a lot. david is thus tasked with taking care of nathan, but he's not very good at it, and tends to be domineering verging on abusive in order to keep him in line. overall david is a good person geneally, but he is under a lot of pressure and kind of takes it out on his brother.
george lives with both of his parents in the same neighborhood as david; he has one older sister, already is college. his greatest pet peeve is going out in public with his blonde mother and watching as everyone assumes they're not biologically related. when he was younger he used to avoid his mother for this, but since coming out, now he's much more adamant about going EVERYWHERE with her.
george is probably the reason why this would have to be a webcomic; he would make constant reference to current Fandom Topics Of The Day-- instead of the acceptable startrekharrypotter nerd references-- and as such namedrop a lot of properties. he really IDENTIFIES with john egbert for example, and is really adamant about his interpretation of john as half chinese and ships john/kat really hard. he also really likes shojo manga and will remark that going to a private school isn't nearly as fun as it seemed in [x title that might just end up being aonoex because he's definitely read aonoex]. basically he is an awful awful fanbrat who loves sj.
he will at least once mention that he couldn't possibly be the protagonist because 'jake long american dragon' was already a show. david will score points in the conversation by remembering that he thought george liked juniper lee a lot better?
other conversations bound to happen are: david mentioning shouldn't like he fight monsters with a kabalah or something? and george butting in with THAT'S CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!!!
also there is a native american character who also fights demons, David is trying desperitely to turn him into a Father Mentor Figure, so far it isn't working. i need to read up on more native american stuff before i can properly name him and figure out what he's doing, but basically he's last decade's Champion who fought the demons in ny, a new one shows up every ten years regardless of whether the old one has died or retired
