"Dance Dance Dante Revolution" 🕺 DEVIL MAY CRY (APRIL 3. 2025)

update 15/may/2025 (yesterday I wiring my notes) in same plot universe update for genre and Reference!

the world of MARIANA

the premise: The United States is a living, breathing illusion—a stage where the supernatural hides in plain sight. Ancient forces, forgotten gods, and monsters have adapted to modern life, lurking behind the facades of roadside attractions, dive bars, and especially the entertainment industry.

Mariana Agostinho, the Mistress of All Magic, travels this world as both a celebrated stage magician and a relentless occult detective. Her tour isn’t just for show—it’s a front for hunting the things that go bump in the spotlights.

- magic is real, but you'll never see it (or unless she want you to)

- TL;DR stands for "Too long; didn't read" it's quick probably yes for summary for those who want the Core idea without the deep dive.

For MARIANA's world

- Genre fusion: Urban fantasy horror (60%) + occult action-noir (30%) + Road-trip mystery (10% nah it's 60%—*shoot*)

The foundation:

Magic is Real, But It’s a Dirty Secret: The supernatural exists parallel to modern America, hidden behind glamours, staged illusions, and willful ignorance. Only fools, artists, and killers see through the veil.

- The Stage is a Battleground: Performance spaces (theaters, music halls, even dive bars) are thin places—where magic is easier to wield, but where older things can slip through the curtains.

- Monsters Wear Human Faces: From Wesen-like cryptids (Grimm) to biblical horrors (Supernatural), the threats are varied, but all obey folklore rules with a vicious twist.

TL;DR Version -

- Genre: Urban fantasy horror meets occult action-noir—think Grimm meets Zatanna, with Supernatural’s road-trip grit.

- Premise: A stage magician/sorceress hunts monsters across the U.S., but her performances unwittingly fuel an ancient evil.

- Vibe: Cursed carnivals, neon-lit motels, and magic that bleeds.

- Hook: The stage is a portal, the audience is prey, and the real show is hidden in the shadows.

FLIRTY (BUT TOXIC) BANTER

(random quotes ep 1. that's not canon in my Mariana story)

Jonathan: "Why am I your type? I’m a broke, lazy old man with a demonic credit score."

Mariana: "Exactly. You look like Billy Idol’s washed-up cousin. Amor, you can’t fix me—but damn, you’re pretty to stare at while I’m spiraling."

Mariana: "You’re like a cursed vinyl, querido—scratched, slightly demonic, and weirdly nostalgic."

Jonathan: "And you’re like a hex grenade with a ‘kiss me’ sign. Should I run or lean in?"

Mariana: "¿Por que não os dois?"

Plot for MARIANA

Mariana Agostinho, the Mistress of All Magic, is a woman of two worlds. By day, she dazzles audiences as a world-famous stage magician, her performances blurring the line between illusion and real sorcery. By night, she is a relentless hunter—an occult detective who travels the shadowed corners of the United States, tracking down supernatural threats that lurk beyond human sight.

Her life has been a balancing act—glamour and grit, spectacle and secrecy—but just as she prepares to step into a new, more stable chapter, her world fractures. Members of her stage crew vanish under eerie circumstances, leaving behind only cryptic symbols and whispers of something ancient stirring in the dark. Forced to abandon her illusions, Mariana plunges into a hidden war, one that stretches from cursed backroads to forgotten temples, where monsters, demons, and even fallen gods walk unseen among humanity.

As she hunts, the mythology around her deepens. Angels with inscrutable agendas cross her path. Demons whisper bargains in the dark. The lines between ally and enemy blur, and Mariana realizes her battles are part of something far older—a conflict between forces that predate human history. The magic she wields is not just a tool but a legacy, tied to bloodlines older than civilization.

Yet the greatest threats may not come from the shadows, but from within. Trust is a luxury she can’t afford. Old allies hide dangerous secrets. New ones may be wolves in sheep’s clothing. And as the supernatural world grows more volatile, Mariana must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect a humanity that will never know the horrors she faces.

Themes of family (both blood and found), sacrifice, and the duality of good and evil weave through her journey. Is she a guardian or a weapon? A performer or a predator? The answers shift with every spell cast, every life taken—or spared.

The story ends open, the battle far from over. Some doors, once opened, cannot be closed. And Mariana walks forward, knowing the next act of her life will be the most dangerous yet.
