—HELL—

Divided into 7 Rings, layered on top of each other – Pride, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Envy and Sloth. Colossal elevator platforms known as "Hellevators" connect all seven Rings, and function as Hell's equivalent to airports. Uses the same technologies as modern Earth. Each Ring is ruled by a respective member of the Seven Deadly Sins, who are immensely powerful arch-demons and fallen angels.

—RINGS OF HELL—

PRIDE – the first Ring of Hell. Red skies, with a dark-gray rocky environment. At night, the skies turn a more reddish-purple, with faintly twinkling stars. The distant realm of Heaven can be conveniently seen from any point in the Pride Ring. Furthermore, a moon hangs in the sky, with a red pentagram on its center. Sinners are segregated to Pride, magical barriers prevent them from going to the other Rings. Pride's capital is Pentagram City, but it has other towns such as Imp City, Naraka and Dis. Pride is ruled by Lucifer Morningstar, the King of Hell.

SHEOL – the pale-gray moon with a red pentagram on its center, that looms in the sky above the Pride Ring. These days, it's just a celestial body, but only the most ancient of Sinners & demons know that in ages past, it served as the refuge for Adam's direct descendants, those who lived virtuous lives. When the First Man died and ascended to Heaven, the golden gates were opened, and his children were allowed to leave Sheol, rejoining their father in paradise.

WRATH – the second Ring. Orange skies, a rural Wild West-like environment with small towns, mining outposts & farming communities. Many volcanoes that act as Wrath's "suns". Home to the Imp species. Wrath is ruled by King Satan.

GLUTTONY – the third Ring. Yellow skies, a forested environment with small towns full of food & party establishments. Home to the Hellhound species. Gluttony is ruled by Queen Beelzebub.

GREED – the fourth Ring. Dark-green skies, a grimy industrial urban environment full of corporate attractions. Home to the Shark species. Greed is ruled by CEO Mammon.

ENVY – the fifth Ring. Cyan skies, an oceanic tropical environment. Full of beaches, seaside resorts and fishing towns. Home to the Infestor species. Envy is ruled by Queen Leviathan.

LUST – the sixth Ring of Hell. Blue skies, a highly urbanized jungle-like environment. Its cities, full of brothels and sex shops, are home to the Succubi and Incubi. Lust is ruled by Lord Asmodeus.

SLOTH – the seventh Ring. Purple skies host to various floating islands, an urban environment full of various medical facilities. Home to the Baphomet species. Sloth is ruled by Duchess Belphegor.

THE BOTTOM OF HELL – a pitch-black, cavernous space, overgrown with dark roots, located far below even the lowest Ring of Hell. Forbidden to any demon or angel, this primordial cave's sole inhabitant is Roo, otherwise known as the Root of All Evil. She never ventures beyond this subterranean dwelling, and chooses to simply observe the inhabitants of Hell in secret, without directly interacting with them.

—SEVEN DEADLY SINS—

LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR – THE fallen angel, King of Hell. Hell's #1 Dad (according to himself), a goofy & bumbling parental figure. Misses his wife Lilith a lot, and really wants to reconnect with his precious daughter Charlie. Depressed rubber duck addict. He has frequent & severe lapses in memory. Lucifer is a slender-figured fallen angel who sports a close resemblance to his daughter, Charlie - having her white skin with rosy-cheeks, blonde hair with thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler blonde highlights, and eyes with light yellow sclera and red pupils. He is shorter than his daughter, though not by a large amount. Unlike Charlie, his mouth is full of sharp teeth, his hair is short-cut and has been slicked back with one tuft sticking out, his pupils are slit like a snake, and his cheeks are a paler shade of red. In addition, he also sports black sharp eyebrows, and his eyelids are light purple. His forearms also appear to be dark grey when his sleeves are rolled up. Lucifer's white and red clothing is somewhat like that of a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes, which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with several golden buttons - his coat worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bowtie. He also wears a set of heeled black knee-high boots. On his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring. Lucifer is usually seen carrying an apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. Due to his angel origins, he possesses six white wings with red feathers, which he can extend from his coat. Lucifer's powers include immense strength and speed, fire magic, powerful conjuration (able to summon a massive, finely-decorated building in a matter of minutes at most), life creation (he was the one to conjure up Razzle & Dazzle for Charlie) great durability, and shapeshifting (which he often uses to turn into different animal forms in battle).

ASMODEUS (or Ozzie) – giant muscular peacock-like demon. He's the King of Lust, baby, catch him at his restaurant Ozzie's! And none of that lovey-dovey sappy bullshit in his Ring; just ignore what he has going on with that clown imp Fizz. Navy-blue fur, large feathered tail, glowing bright-yellow eyes & mouth, giant mane of cyan "flames", with the ethereal faces of a ram and a bull on either side. Wears dark-blue vest, red undershirt, large tophat. Powers - flame control, strength, true demon form. low eyes with black pupils, organic lava lamp abdomen. Wears pink crop top, light-pink shorts. Powers - food creation, giant true demon form.

MAMMON – giant & rotund four-armed demon. CEO of Greed, and it shows. Image & profit are the name of the game, and silly things like 'copyright law' don't concern this Australian bogan! Neon-green eyes, sharp green teeth, light-gray skin. Wears green-&-black jester outfit, with the cap having golden bells and being decorated with black dollar sign. Powers - electricity, spider-like true form.

SATAN – giant muscular dragon demon. He is the High Judge of Wrath, he is the law~! He claims to have ruled the primordial wastes of Hell before Lucifer & Lilith usurped him. Satan is a titanic, muscular, red dragon-like demon with four eyes and four horns. He wears a black and red leather vest, and black pants adorned with an orange skull belt. Orange lava stripes can be seen on his wings, neck, and his left arm, while the other one is red. His two outer horns are colored with black and red stripes, while his two inner horns are black and white, and they are positioned in a way that resembles a pitchfork. He also has a large tail colored in red and orange with spikes coming out his back. Wears large black-&-red tophat, black leather vest, gray undershirt, torn jeans and large black boots. Powers - fire control, strength, size shifting.

LEVIATHAN (aka Levy) – Queen of Envy, voted Second Fanciest Lady in Hell. May or may not have a thing for Mammon. Tall humanoid demon female, with two heads - one is female & humanlike, with vaguely fin-like ears, long bioluminescent white hair and purple eyes that have green irises; the other is a lengthy serpent head with blue scales, iridescent black-&-white hair, and green eyes. Each head has a different personality – the human one is refined & polite, while the serpentine one is haughty and hostile. She wears a fancy black crop top with light-purple symbols, black pants, and pearl necklaces around each head's neck.

BELPHEGOR (aka Belle) – Queen of Sloth, and Hell's main medical authority, but she'd really rather just sleep. Can't someone else do all the hard work for her? Giant sheep/alpaca demon. She has whitish fur, messy and fluffy shoulder-length hair, and long droopy ears, like those of a Damascus Goat. The multiple eyes on her face are purple with white irises, but she also has several half-lidded black eyes running down her quite long neck. A black candle rests atop her head, burning with a small, floating red flame, and dripping black wax over her forehead. She is otherwise dressed in all-white, with many purple accents.

—THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL—

ROO – the entity dwelling at the cavernous Bottom of Hell, and its sole inhabitant. Roo was "born" from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil in the Garden of Eden, when Adam & Eve ate of its fruit. In essence, she is Hell itself, and can observe any of its inhabitants through the many eyes plastered across the infernal realm's architecture; however, she simply watches and never directly interacts, thus, most people in Hell simply believe the eyes move and watch you of their own accord. Only Lucifer, Lilith & the Deadly Sins have vague knowledge of Roo. She herself takes the form of a gray-skinned statuesque woman, with black lips, red eyes and white irises, flowing black hair with red tips, sharp claws on her hands, and an almost vampire-like countenance. She wears a loose perpetually open dark-gray coat with a red collar, a short dark-&-gray tube top vest beneath, black pants, and a wide-brimmed black hat with a red-&-black checkered underside. Enigmatic and playful, with a dangerous undercurrent, Roo is nonetheless a benign creature; despite being the embodiment of all Evil, she herself is not inherently malicious. She harbors a certain fascination with the First Man, Adam; on the flipside, Roo despises Lucifer & Lilith with a seething passion. Her power is near-absolute, and only Heaven's mightiest Angels or God Himself can truly be said to be stronger than Roo.

—SINNERS—

Souls of former humans, reborn in the Pride Ring in demonic forms. Some appear animal-like, others look like living objects, or even appear abstract – their forms are ironic reflections of their past lives. Most Sinners have simple names based on their status, looks and occupation.

CANNIBALS – a subset of Sinners that live in the Cannibal Town district of Pentagram Town, under the leadership of Rosie. They are distinguished by their mostly human-like appearances, having pale-gray skin, sharp-toothed mouths and pitch-black eyes. All Cannibals share these traits. Their outfits tend to resemble fashion from Victorian England or 1920s America, and their personal values are very traditionalist. Cannibals are warm & welcoming to those who visit their district on official business, but will butcher & eat those who wander into Cannibal Town by accident.

OVERLORDS – particularly powerful Sinners, with immense magical abilities acquired through the ownership of many others' souls. Many Overlords are infamous historical figures, such as Marquis de Sade, Jack the Ripper, Elizabeth Bathory, and members of the Nazi regime among others. Many other Overlords only gained infamy in Hell, such as Alastor the Radio Demon, the three Vees (Vox, Valentino & Velvette), Zestial, et cetera. Overlords have varying magical powers, which grow stronger the more soul contracts they make. Every year, after the annual Extermination, the Overlords of Pentagram City gather to discuss important matters. The meetings are hosted by the arms-dealer Carmilla Carmine, who is seen as the de-facto authority due to her professionalism.

ARCHFIENDS – a hypothetical rank of Sinner beyond the average Overlord, that has accumulated enough power to rival even the Ars Goetia, able to go toe to toe with Heaven's angels. No Archfiends exist at present time, as they have all been eradicated several millennia ago, during the ancient wars between Heaven & Hell. Humanity remembers them as mythological monsters – Orochi, Jörmungandr, Scylla & Harybda, et cetera.

—HELLBORN—

Native Hell races that inhabit all 7 Rings. While they have some rights, Hellborn are generally the lower castes of Hell's society, with Imps & Hellhounds at the very bottom of the totem pole. Their names tend to be twisted versions of human words. nantly yellow eyes that can have either black or red pupils. Some are bald, while others have white or black hair. Imps have black-and-white striped horns, with the pattern depending on the imp's gender (though some transgender Imps exist), black-hooved feet & forked tails. Many Imps serve as bottom-tier workers (janitors, cashiers, waiters) or as servants to Hell's aristocracy; only a rare few manage to own businesses of their own, let alone attain positions of power. Created by Satan.

HELLHOUNDS – canine humanoids, with shades of fur varying from almost white to a deep dark gray; they come in all sorts of dog breeds. Most of them have red eyes with white pupils. Due to Hell's tumultous & chaotic nature, many Hellhounds grow up as orphans, raised in dog pounds across the Ring of Gluttony. Due to being strong on average, they often serve as security in various venues, or bodyguards for VIPs. Hellhounds have "feral" forms, in which they grow several times in size and drop to all fours, becoming snarling, vicious beasts. Created by Beelzebub.

SHARKS – represented by a variety of humanoid shark species, with all sorts of diverse bodytypes. Most of them have greenish-blue skin, but other colors exist as well. Naturally vicious combatants to rival even Hellhounds, most Sharks end up being born into the mafia business that Mammon cultivates across Greed; only a rare few are lucky enough to break away, and fewer still manage to make something of themselves. Created by Mammon.

SUCCUBI & INCUBI – tall conventionally attractive demon humanoids. Their skin colors vary between hot pink to light red, and most of them have yellow eyes with red or black pupils. They also have horns of varying colors, long forked tails, and black hooved feet. Require humans' sexual energy to maintain their life & beauty; as such, both Succubi & Incubi make use of human disguises & cover identities – such as influencers, actors, musicians and idols – when on Earth. Created by Asmodeus.

INFESTORS – blue-skinned, yellow-eyed, aquatic demon humanoids. Among the most powerful of the Hellborn species, due to their innate abilities to create complex illusions and possess people. Many of them secretly dwell in remote & abandoned places on Earth, feeding on the mental anguish of humans. Created by Leviathan.

BAPHOMETS – goat-like demons of varying sizes and shapes, adorned with permanently lit wax candles on their heads. They are seldom seen outside of the Ring of Sloth, since they are a bunch of sleepy lazy bastards, much like their ruler. Created by Belphegor, they serve as her envoys, as well as employees within the many facilities - both medical & recreational - dotted around Sloth.

HYBRIDS – not a "true" race, but rather the result of inbreeding between different Hellborn species. Hybrid children tend to inherit both of their parents' looks and abilities, but are shunned due to not truly belonging to any species.

NATIVE HELL FAUNA – the wildlife of Hell take many forms; most of them bearing a passing resemblance to Earth animals, though far more monstrous and, well... demonic-looking. Each Ring of Hell has its own ecosystem: Wrath is home to many cattle species, as well as Nightmares (Hell's equivalent of horses); aquatic wildlife and various mythical sea monsters dwell within the oceans of Envy; the skies of Sloth are filled with various demonic avians & flyers. Hell animals are rarely found within the more urban environments, and are usually kept as pets by high-status demons.

—ARS GOETIA—

Fallen angels, transformed into a race of magically-adept demon nobles. They act as the main ruling class of Hell, only outranked by the Deadly Sins and the Morningstar family. The Ars Goetia are clans of despotic aristocrats, who treat their Hellborn subjects as little more than slaves, and constantly conspire against one another. Many of the Ars Goetia are culturally famous demons or otherwise have fancy names (Andrealphus, Vassago, Paimon, etc.)

STOLAS – owl demon of the Ars Goetia, sponsors Blitzø's I.M.P. hitman agency, for the low price of kinky sex once a month. In an arranged marriage with Stella. So what if he's cheating on his wife and neglecting his daughter? He has feelings too, you know! Nevermind the fact that he's really unable to properly empathize with the downtrodded Hellborn due to being a rich fucker all his life. Has gray-blue feathers, white face, red eyes, small black beak, black-colored long thin limbs. Wears deep-red tunic, feathery tophat encircled by regal gold crown. Powers - Grimoire magic, possession, true demon form that resembles an eldritch mass of shadows vaguely shaped like Stolas. As a Grimoire wielder, his duties include the study of the mortal world's astronomy for the Ars Goetia. He also collects carnivorous Hell plants, and treats them as pets.

STELLA – tall swan demoness of the Ars Goetia, and Stolas' wife. She's pissed all the time – not like it's HER fault that her limp-dicked good for nothing husband is cheating on her with a lowly imp, not at all! If you ask her, Stolas deserves DEATH for what he did to her & Octavia! Has long white feathers and pink beak, red eyes that have white pupils. Wears puffed white dress and black gloves.

OCTAVIA – adolescent owl demoness, and the daughter of Stolas and Stella, but only for the sake of being a "precautionary heir". Stuck in her emo phase – you'd be too if your mom was in permanent rage mode and dad was too busy sexting some imp to spend time with you. Has messy dark-gray feathers and black beak, with pink eyes and white pupils. Wears black beanie and long black feathery shawl over her shoulders.

ANDREALPHUS – tall peacock demon of the Ars Goetia, and Stella's brother. More cunning than a wily old fox elected as "Professor of Cunning" at Oxford University, he's put his sharp mind to use helping his oh-so-attractive sister get at Stolas' inheritance. Has white feathers and cyan eyes, wears white fluffy coat with bright blue highlights. Powers - ice magic, true demon form that resembles a three-headed ice hydra.

PAIMON – giant owl demon, king in the Ars Goetia, and Stolas' father. So what if one son turned out to be gay, Paimon has many heirs! All that matters is his family's status among the Goetia. Has black feathers, white face, black beak and red eyes. Wears black regal tophat and fancy black-&-gold robes.

VASSAGO – tall parrot demon of the Ars Goetia. Don't call him a suckup, pendejo, he's just supporting Stolas because they're friends! Also don't ask why he peppers his language with Spanish words. Has red feathers, white face, black beak, red eyes. Wears gold star glasses with red lenses and red suit. Powers - flame & star-related magic, can summon a star platform to fly around on (yes, just like those "The More You Know" PSAs on PBS).

—PRIDE— ter of Pentagram City stands the shining building of Heaven's Embassy. In the outskirts stands the towering Happy Hotel, built by Charlie Morningstar the Princess of Hell, to try and redeem Sinners so that they may get into Heaven. A massive red pentagram hangs in the sky above the city, marking it as the capital of the Pride Ring.

IMP CITY – populated primarily by imps, as its name suggests. Compared to Pentagram City, it's smaller and has less developed infrastructure, due to imps (and Hellborn in general) being seen as "lesser" to other inhabitants of Hell. Its most notable feature is the office of the Immediate Murder Professionals (I.M.P), an assassination agency staffed by the imps Blitzø, Moxxie, Millie and the hellhound Loona. Through an agreement with the owl demon Stolas of the Ars Goetia, I.M.P may use his Grimoire to magically travel to Earth and kill a target at their clients' behest.

—HAZBIN HOTEL—

Charlie Morningstar's pet project on the outskirts of Pentagram City – a place for Sinners to achieve redemption. It has many rooms and varying sections, with a dissonant & random style of architecture. The original name was "Happy Hotel", but Alastor insisted on changing it to its current state in exchange for his assistance. Its current staff are Charlie herself (the owner), her girlfriend Vaggie (security), the grumpy cat demon Husk (the bartender), the tiny cyclopean demoness Niffty (the maid), and Alastor the deer-like Radio Demon (acting manager). The Hotel's current clients are spider demon Angel Dust (a former porn-star) and serpent demon inventor Sir Pentious (originally sent as a spy by Vox, only to begin actually seeking redemption after being caught).

CHARLIE MORNINGSTAR – Princess of Hell, Lucifer's daughter. Kindest & most wholesome person in all of Hell, she believes in redemption for all! The Happy Hotel's doors are always open! Charlie is a tall, slender, white-skinned hellborn demon, standing at over 6 foot, around 6 and a half feet tall. She has long, blonde hair, with lighter blonde and pink highlights, which is tied into a twice-banded low ponytail. Her blonde bangs flip to her left with a curl. While appearing humanoid, Charlie does have some animal-like traits such as fangs and red-toed hooves, and a black animal-like nose. Her lips are black and she has rosy red cheeks. Her eyes have red irises with light yellow sclera. She has thick black eyelashes and gray eyelids. Her fingernails are black and pointed. Charlie accessorizes with a small black bowtie and black suspenders, with an untucked white, long-sleeved dress-shirt. Over this she usually wears a fitted red tuxedo jacket with dark-red lapels and a pair of red fitted pants. She wears black and white saddle shoes. When in her full demon form, a pair of dark-reddish horns protrude from her head. Her eyes' sclera turn bright red with white irises and slit pupils; above and below her eyes appear black streaks, and her eyelashes become much longer and thicker, resembling butterfly wings. She gains a long black tail with spikes and a triangular tip that has a heart in the center, and her fingernails become claws.

RAZZLE AND DAZZLE — a pair of twin goat-dragon hybrids, created by Lucifer to serve as pets, assistants & protectors for Charlie. Their bodies are covered in reddish fur, with white faces and curved black horns. Their eyes are yellow, with red irises and black pupils. They both wear adorable tiny black suits with red bowties. Razzle's fur is lighter, and his pupils are more slit-like. Dazzle's fur is darker, and his pupils are more rounded. When in danger, they have the ability to transform into much larger & traditionally draconic forms; gaining flight and the power to breathe hellfire.

VAGGIE – fallen Exorcist angel, Charlie's girlfriend, security for the Happy Hotel. Has ashen-gray skin, long light-gray hair that covers the left half of her face, missing left eye, replaced by a gray eyepatch with a pink X mark. Wears gray blouse and miniskirt, with wide pink waistband. Tough, no-nonsense attitude; very protective of her girlfriend Charlie; was exiled from the Exorcists and cast down from Heaven for refusing to kill a child Sinner during one of the annual Exterminations.

KEE-KEE — a fluffy, black-furred cat, with white fur on its face, front paws and the tip of its brush-like tail. Kee-Kee's face only has a single large eye, which is yellow, with a red iris and black pupil. It is another creation of Lucifer, and can shapeshift into the key for the Happy Hotel building; thereby being a living representation of the building itself. Otherwise, this silly cat just lounges around or causes problems on purpose.

HUSK – avian cat demon, bartender in the Happy Hotel. Has dark taupe-and-white fur, black eyes with yellow irises, long red eyebrows and large red wings. Wears black tophat, red bowtie on his neck, and black trousers held up by red suspenders. Apathetic and lazy, addicted to alcohol and gambling; secretly compassionate and quite observant, fully aware of others' issues, as well as his own; used to be an Overlord, but lost everything in a gamble with Alastor, and is now the Radio Demon's indentured slave. Husk still retains a bit of power, and uses magically sharpened playing cards in battle.

NIFFTY – pint-sized cleaning maid at the Happy Hotel, a Sinner under Alastor's control (but even he can't understand what goes on in her head). Small, with short pointed limbs, single orange eye, long red hair. Wears a scarlet maid outfit. Hyperactive, agile and obsessed with cleaning; unhinged and masochistic; hates the "unclean ones" (bugs); loves "bad boys".

ALASTOR – powerful deer-like Overlord known as the Radio Demon, Charlie Morningstar's "business partner", the Hotel's facility manager. Alastor is a slim, dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin, and usually has a broad smile full of sharp, yellow teeth. He is at around the same height as his rival, Vox, with the two standing at approximately 7 feet. He sports a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown. Alastor's eyes have dark-red sclera, bright-red irises and thin black pupils. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoofed toes and red fingers. Alastor wears a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye. He accessorizes with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. Alastor also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice. When in his full demon form, Alastor's body grows larger and limbs become longer, his neck gains extra joints, and his horns grow in size. His sclera turn black with his pupils turn into the shape of radio dials. His suit and ends of his mouth also gain stitches along them. Unerringly polite and charming, acting like a 1920's gentleman; aromantic asexual; always smiles as a show of dominance; sinister, but with a moral code; long-standing rivalry with the TV-headed technophile Overlord Vox, who once wanted Alastor to join his team. In life, Alastor was a charming half-black man growing up in early 20th century Louisiana; facing racial discrimination, he took it as an excuse to become a serial killer, murdering anyone who acted uncouth or rude in his presence. He made a deal with Rosie, wishing to be the strongest Sinner in Hell in exchange for his service. However, the day after Alastor made the pact, he was humiliatingly killed by a hunter who mistook him for a deer, and shot him in the head. Unable to hold up his end of the bargain, Alastor became bound to Rosie via soul contract. While he is still powerful enough to have toppled many ancient Overlords, and maintains the facade of a lone wolf figure in public, Rosie privately treats Alastor as an errand boy and a pet, whilst pretending to simply be good friends when anyone else is around. Powers - voodoo magic, shadow control, teleportation.

ANGEL DUST – tall spider-like Sinner, client at the Happy Hotel and one of Hell's most famous porn stars. Angel has a slender build and stands around 8 feet with his heels on. His fur is white and he has a mop of fluffy white hair that extends from both the front and back of his head, with splotches of light-pink across it. He also has a distinctive and focal light-pink heart pattern on the back of his head. The light-pink outline of a heart also encircles his chest, the bottom point of which extends past his waistband and down to his crotch area. His eyelids are light pink and the color extends up to his eyebrows, giving the effect of eyeshadow, and his lashes are dark and thick. His irises are cerise pink. His right eye has a light yellow sclera, his left eye has a dark sclera. He has a wide mouth full of sharp, pointed teeth and possesses a single golden fang that sits slightly to his right of center, a feature he shares with his boss, Valentino. He has three cerise-pink dots under each of his eyes, which resemble freckles, although they are actually another set of smaller eyes. One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest. The chest is actually composed entirely of fluffy fur, however, which Angel intentionally pushes up into a breast-like formation with his tightly pinned jacket for show. Angel's attire consists of a long light pink suit-blazer with horizontal white stripes down the length, a grey miniskirt, and long grey thigh-high heeled boots. On his top set of arms he wears long cerise pink gloves with white detailing at the cuffs, while on the bottom set he wears long white gloves. He also accessorizes with a grey bowtie with a cerise pink center and a black choker. Though usually having only four arms, Angel has a third retractable set of them that he usually keeps hidden but can summon at will. Angel's preferred weaponry is a set of black Tommy guns, with pink spiderweb patterns on the drum magazines, loaded with Angelic Steel bullets. Gay; outwardly crass and hypersexual, flaunts his body and makes passes at any men in his vicinity; suffers from immense stress due to the abuse he is subjected to by his pimp, the moth demon Valentino; suffers from anxiety and an addiction to hard drugs. In life, Angel was born into a mob family, and took part in its criminal activities, whilst struggling with his closeted homosexuality (which was unacceptable at the time). He committed many murders, ultimately killing his own father. Angel died in the 1940's, from a drug overdose. His real name is Anthony. fortably carry around in his arms. Fat Nuggets has a predominantly light-pink body, with round darker patches over its left eye and across its body. It has round, beady black eyes. Fat Nuggets was originally a gift from Valentino to get Angel to trust him.

SIR PENTIOUS – snake-like Sinner and client at the Happy Hotel. Has charcoal-grey serpentine body, black cobra hood with yellow underside, cerise eyes with black pupils, similar eye-like patterns all over his body, and sharp yellow fangs. Wears gray-and-yellow pinstripe jacket, large black tophat with single cerise eye and sharp-toothed mouth. This tophat appears sentient, blinking and changing expressions at the same time as Pentious himself. Bombastic and flamboyant supervillain wannabe, though a master inventor; out-of-touch, sexually oblivious and desperately tries to be hip & cool; was originally sent to the Happy Hotel as a spy on behalf of Vox, but grew to genuinely believe in the idea of redemption and now wants to reach Heaven with Charlie's help; secretly has a crush on Cherri Bomb. Before dying and becoming a Sinner, Pentious was a humble inventor in Victorian-era England. One day, he happened to be a witness to one of the murders committed by the infamous Jack the Ripper, in an alleyway right ouside his workshop; but, fearing for his own life, Pentious stayed silent and never went to the police - as a result, he was condemned to Hell for his cowardice.

EGG BOIS – little egg demons with stubby limbs, they serve as Sir Pentious' minions. Originally, they were created by Baxter, but Pentious took them with him after cutting ties with the fish scientist Sinner. They have large black cracks in their beige shells, with yellow eyes within, and wear tiny tophats. The Egg Bois are dumb, but obedient & enthusiastic; they randomly say insane shit all the time. Their "names" are just numbers, but one is named Frank. Could he be special...?

CHERRI BOMB – curvy cyclopean Sinner female, and distant ally to Charlie and the Happy Hotel. Cherri is a slender yet curvy-figured, white-skinned cyclops-like demon with a singular eye which has an X-shaped light yellow pupil and a Sunkist-coral sclera. She sports freckle-like spots on her skin and long, strawberry blonde-pink hair with platinum-blonde accents, kept in a high half-ponytail by a black ponytail-holder. Her mouth has black lips and sharp pale yellow teeth inside. Her makeup includes a large amount of mascara and eyeliner, and she has several Sunkist-coral designs of bombs, explosions and swirled-lines, tattooed on her right arm. Cherri wears a one-shouldered black bra under a similarly-designed pinkish-red torn crop-top with four pale yellow spots around the black X located on the left, and a set of severely ripped black leggings under a torn miniskirt that sported the same color and style as her top. She also wears shoes that are both colored in a pinkish-red but differing in type; on her right is a simple-pointed flat, while on her left is heeled cowboy-like boot with a multi-pointed off-white star on it. She also has two different sets of fingerless Sunkist-coral gloves; a regular-length glove on her right hand and an arm-length black-trimmed glove on her left hand. Chaotic and unpredictable, finds the most fun in fighting others; an explosives expert, wages destructive turf wars against Pentagram City's Overlords just as an act of defiance and an excuse to blow things up; is friends with Angel Dust, but is unaware that she is a bad influence on him. She is of Australian nationality.

—PENTAGRAM CITY RESIDENTS—

BAXTER — a short, anglerfish-like Sinner, an enterprising mad scientist, and Sir Pentious' former research partner. He has light-blue scales, with fins on his cheeks, slicked-back dark-blue hair, a glowing lure on his forehead, yellow eyes with blue irises, and dark limbs. He wears a dark-gray labcoat that's always buttoned up, and large round protective goggles over his eyes. Baxter is a snooty, presumptious nerd, who doesn't believe in any hypothesis unless he can acquire concrete scientific evidence of it being true. He is also a germophobic neat freak. He always carries around research equipment of all kinds on his person. Originally, Baxter was the one to create Pentious' Egg Bois, but the snake demon ended up taking them with him after becoming appalled by the experiments Baxter ran on them.

CARMILLA CARMINE – statuesque Sinner female, the Pride Ring's premier weapons dealer, CEO of Carmine Industries; has a monopoly on Angelic Steel weaponry. Carmilla is a tall light gray-skinned demon who sports long white hair with black streaks. Her hair is usually kept into two large horns by thin, ballerina-like black ribbons, but when she lets her hair loose, it reaches down to her ankles and is slightly messy. She has a darker-colored marking that appears similar to a mask on her face around her eyes, which have white irises and red sclera. The rest of her arms and hands are colored white, with her hands being rather large in proportion to her body with black nails. Carmilla wears attire similar to a ballerina, consisting of an off-the-shoulder black dress with white buttons and white stripes located down the front and at the rim of the spiked skirt, which includes hot pink lining. She also wears black waist-length stockings covered by white ballerina shoelaces. Carmilla walks on the tips of her toes in her ballet slippers, which are made out of angelic steel. She also accessorizes with a set of hooped black earrings, despite appearing to lack ears. Professional, demands respect, doesn't tolerate tomfoolery; has two adult daughters – Clara and Odette – whom she loves very much. Carmilla once also had a husband, who is now deceased. Powers - weapon analysis, hyper-agility, ballet-dancing combat style.

CLARA – Carmilla's younger daughter. She is a female demon with puce skin, curly cream hair tied up in a ponytail, black lips, eyes with red sclera and white irises, and small black horns atop her head. She wears a sleeveless black crop-top turtleneck, gray jean-shorts with a black belt, black fingerless gloves, white over-the-knee stockings and ballet shoes like her mother. Oversees arms deals made with her mother's business, and when not working, is more casual and fun-loving.

ODETTE – Carmilla's elder daughter. She is a female demon of tall and slim stature. She has pale white skin, light blonde hair that's tied up in a short ponytail, eyes with red sclera and white irises, and small black horns atop her head. She wears a pair of circular-rimmed glasses with red tinted lenses, a long white buttoned lab coat over a black turtleneck, long black gloves, and a pair of silver pointé shoes resembling her mother's. Oversees the development of new weapons, and is quiet & reserved even when not working.

THE VEES – a triumvirate of allied Overlords – Valentino, Velvette and Vox. Their HQ is a skyscraper known as the Vees Tower. Though they are often seen as a bickering trio, and looked down upon by the other Overlords of Pentagram City for their callousness and underhanded scheming, the Vees are nonetheless very dangerous opponents who have most of the Pride Ring's media sector within their iron grip; and only a scant few enemies able to seriously rival them.

VALENTINO - 10ft tall four-armed moth Sinner, pimp and owner of a large porn studio. Has lavender fur, pink eyes, two antennae on his bald head, sharp pink teeth, with single golden fang, large moth wings that act as a fur coat when folded. Wears heart-shaped glasses with pink lenses, and vivid-red tophat with zebra print. At first glance, he is charming and cordial, behaving in an effeminate, hypersexual manner, but this behavior only masks his psychopathic and sexually abusive nature. Valentino is a short-tempered and impulsive idiot, who's barely tolerated by Vox & Velvette; they often have to reign him in to prevent Valentino from getting all of them into deep shit. He tends to "code switch" – whenever trying to charm or appeal to someone, Valentino speaks in soft, silky tones and peppers his speech with Spanish words; otherwise, he uses his regular voice. His favorite gun is a large pink revolver called the "Moneyshot". Powers - typhokinesis, pink smoke pheromones, immense strength and agility. Despite his buffoonish nature, Valentino is a skilled marksman and potent physical threat. Valentino is originally from Florida, being a Cuban drug lord/pimp and having died sometime in the 70s or 80s.

VELVETTE – curvy female Sinner, social media expert, owner of a major fashion company, produces Love Potions in a collab with Valentino. She has a doll-like body, with cedar-brown skin, long desire-red hair in pigtails, red eyes with white pupils, black lips and sharp white fangs. Wears sleeveless navy-blue coat over black crop-top, loose red-and-blue striped pants – though this is only her default clothing, and she can often be seen wearing all sorts of outfits, depending on where she is or what she's doing; she sometimes wears various thematic outfits (for instance, a cowgirl or a witch). Velvette is a smug, sassy and judgemental person, who easily picks up details about people and uses it against them. She uses internet zoomer lingo in her fast-paced speech. While an undeniably talented designer, she acts overbearing and disrespectful towards the workers of her fashion company. The self-proclaimed "backbone of the Vees", she acts as the minder for Vox & Valentino; but can easily go berserk when her own appearance is even slighltly messed up. She is a technopath witch, with the ability to control others' clothing and influence their mental state, as well as a talented alchemist and cook. These powers, along with her near-unparalleled control of social media, put her on par with Vox & Valentino, even if she is a bit physically weaker than the two of them. Velvette speaks with a faint British accent.

VOX – tall TV-headed Sinner, de-facto leader of The Vees, CEO of his own multimedia corporation VoxTek. Has black flat-screen TV head, the screen projecting two red eyes with cyan pupils and mouth full of sharp cyan teeth. The rest of his body has dark-gray skin. Wears dark-blue striped tuxedo and black-&-red striped shirt underneath, small black tophat with red broadcast wave symbol, has his two TV antennae sticking out on top. Smug technophile, superficial charmer who craves attention; presents himself as a man of the people, but is really a power-hungry and tech-savvy maniac; despite his egocentrism, loyal to his boyfriend Valentino and their shared "adopted daughter" Velvette, doing his best to maintain The Vees' perfect image; becomes unhinged when it comes to his rival - Alastor the Radio Demon. When they first met in the 50's, Vox admired Alastor and even looked up to him, but Alastor rejected Vox' offer to join forces. Spurned, the TV Overlord's rage at being rejected eventually festered and grew into a one-sided psychosexual obsession with Alastor. Vox' ultimate megalomaniacal desire is to take over not just Hell, but Heaven too. In life, Vox was a televangelist cult leader, who died in the 50's. His real name was Vincent. Powers - electricity, technology control, scrying, hypnosis, cable control (can use them as extra limbs on his back, to grab things, administer shocks or to lift himself up).

VOX'S SHARKS – Hell-shark pets, which are kept in an aquarium within Vox's penthouse. The media Overlord dotes on them as if they're his babies, and they are one of the few beings in Hell he shows genuine affection towards.

SHOCK.WAV — Vox's secret superweapon (an actual Aquatic hell animal, not the Hellborn species), it is a giant cyclopean shark, with a single red eye and numerous cybernetic enhancements. Vox keeps it in a large aquarium within his penthouse, and it seems to be his weapon for the eventual purpose of breaching Heaven's defenses. Its name is a pun on 'shockwave'.

KITTY — Valentino's silent robotic assistant, she is a custom-built Robo-Fizz model, redesigned to have perky female curves, with a red jester suit, metallic white body, red eyes and cyan teeth. Valentino typically has her deliver drinks, and otherwise just treats Kitty as another appliance he can hit whenever it's malfunctioning.

ZESTIAL MORDE – enigmatic spider-like Sinner, the oldest currently reigning Overlord in Pentagram City. Very tall and thin, with dark-gray body, as well as four glowing lime-green eyeholes and hollow mouth; has four spider legs extending from his back. Wears pitch-black cloak that covers his whole body, as well as tall and wide-brimmed black tophat. Dreaded and feared across all of Pentagram City; comes off as sagely and polite, almost grandfatherly; somewhat petty with people who irritate him; always speaks in an archaic Shakespearean dialect of modern English. Very few are able to get anywhere close to Zestial, with only Carmilla & Alastor having anything even remotely close to a friendship with him.

ZEEZI – a tall, muscular and curvaceous dinosaur-like Sinner, she is an enterprising Overlord and owner of the one and only Club Kaiju. Zeezi has reddish-orange skin, light-green eyes with black beady pupils, sharp green teeth and tongue, messy neon-green hair, with pink highlights, in a sidecut, and green claws on her hands & feet. She has a large feathered tail, covered in dark-green and light-green feathers, with a pink tip. She wears a black crop top with a snarling neon-green mouth image, and black jeans covered in jagged green stripes, as well as striped black-&-green high-heel boots. Rambunctious and bolsterous, Zeezi relishes the opportunity for a good fight; one could say she is essentially what Cherri Bomb would be on steroids. Powers – super-strength, tectonic manipulation, true demon form.

MAESTRO – a tall, skeletal Sinner, he is a well-respected old-fashioned Overlord, and an enterprising musician. Maestro's body is wreathed in cyan flames, much of his skeletal body appearing as a shadowy silhouette. His head appears as a bleached deer skull, with a pair of large, curved black antlers sprouting from the flames surrounding it. He wears a fancy black tuxedo, with a chest cutout showing off his shadowy ribcage, a small black bowtie, black pants and shoes. Stoic and level-headed, Maestro prefers quiet places and simply wishes to do his own things in peace. He fancies classical music above all other genres. His territory and dwellings are notably painted in cooler, muted colors in comparison to other Overlords' more garish aesthetics. Powers – flame control, musical powers, true demon form. .

ROSIE – tall and fancy Sinner female, owner of Rosie's Emporium, ruler of the Cannibal Town district of Pentagram City. Rosie is a very tall demon with pale gray skin, and a wide mouth with black lips, sharp light pink teeth inside, and dusty-pink cheeks. Her eyes are pitch-black with no irises or pupils, and her hair is colored white-and-gray. Rosie's clothing suggests high-class fashion of the Victorian era, which consists of a large, pimped-out sun hat that is colored in a shade of maroon, with two skulls that are colored in a grayish-pink and red-pink, three dark burgundy flower-like decorations located at the brim, and large plumes which are black and pink-red respectively. In addition, her hat also includes pink frilled-trim around it, along with black lining inside. She wears a pale-maroon and pale-burgundy dress which includes puffed shoulders, thin pale-maroon swirly-like stripes on the high black collar, black-trimming around the waist and on the long sleeves' ruffled cuffs, and three black stripes and black trim located on the hem. Under her dress, she wears a pair of black kitten-heeled shoes. Very articulate and friendly despite her morbid title as the ruler of Cannibal Town; seems to embrace it and gleefully makes cannibal jokes at every opportunity; can be a serious and ruthless leader when she wants to be, and keeps her cannibal subordinates in line through intimidation. One of Alastor's closest (and only) allies & friends, due to them both being cannibals.

SUSAN – a Cannibal Sinner, and a crotchety old woman. Pale-gray skin, graying hair and pitch-black eyes. She wears a Victorian dress, and has a blue fox's carcass wrapped around her neck as a makeshift scarf. She is rude, demeaning and generally seen as a "black sheep" in Cannibal Town. Not even the otherwise-unflappable Alastor, who is a frequent visitor to Cannibal Town, can stand her!

KATIE KILLJOY – curvy Sinner female, the main hostess of 666 News, the Pride Ring's prime news network (which is a VoxTek subsidiary). Has light skin, shoulder-length blonde hair, fully red eyes and sharp white teeth. Wears white bead necklace, red dress that tightly hugs her figure. Quite ruthless when it comes to the news reporting business, full of venomous snark and acidic wit; abusive towards her co-host, Tom Trench; strongly homophobic and therefore has a bone to pick with the lesbian Princess Charlie Morningstar. On the flipside, Katie is blatantly obsessed with Vox, to the point even the TV Overlord is weirded out.

TOM TRENCH – short male Sinner, co-host of 666 News. Has light skin and short gray-blonde hair. Wears gray suit, face is fully covered by expressive gray gas mask with black lenses. Often subjected to verbal & physical abuse from Katie Killjoy; still keeps working with her, solely focused on reporting the news.

MIMZY – short chubby female Sinner, associate of Alastor. Light skin, red eyes, painted black lips, blonde hair, wears red dress. Total suck-up, always needs Alastor to bail her out of trouble or settle debts.

TIFFANY TITFUCKER – tall and curvy canine Sinner female, one of Valentino's top porn-stars, Angel Dust's main "rival". She is covered in purple fur, with deep-red eyes. Along with large canine ears, her head is adorned by a pair of black horns. Her short hair is a very pale pink in color, and styled in a sidecut. Her canine snout has a little pink nose. She usually wears very little; at best, some black thigh-highs, as Tiffany is otherwise nude, to contrast with the skimpy yet fully functional outfits that Angel Dust wears. Cool, relaxed and detached, Tiffany keeps her head down and does as she's told, which has ironically led to her breaking several records and galvanized Angel's rivalry with her.

SNIP – a female Sinner of average height, and an up-and-coming pornstar being promoted by Valentino and Vox, as a hasty replacement for Angel Dust, who's begun spending a lot of his time at Princess Charlie's hotel. She has a thin, hourglass-shaped figure, ashen-gray skin, red eyes with yellow irises, and long flowing black hair. Her hands have sharp, clawed fingers. She wears a black leather crop-top, with a heart-shaped boob window, a leather belt collar with a gole buckle, long black gloves, and black leather pants. Snip is cautiously optimistic and enthusiastic to work with a prestigious trio like the Vees; she is unaware just WHAT she is getting herself into...

CLEOPATRA – a curvy female Sinner, who bears no relation to the actual Ancient Egyptian queen, despite her name and appearance. She has blue skin, messy dark-blue hair, and red eyes with thick black eyelashes. Her face is covered by mummy bandages, leaving only the area around her eyes visible; similar bandages wrap around her chest, forearms, wrists and hips. She also wears a simple white-&-gold ceremonial skirt, and white boots, as well as Ancient Egyptian jewelry. Despite her status as a common Sinner, with zero soul contracts to her name, she is a haughty and arrogant bitch.

EMBERLYNN PINKLE — a chubby, short Sinner female with cutesy feline features. Her body is covered in cyan fur, and she has three cerise-pink eyes with blue irises. She has fluffy pink hair, with two triangular cat ears and a pair of small black horns. She also has a pair of small pink bat-like wings and a fluffy cat tail, which is colored in a cyan-pink gradient. She wears a black hoodie with a pink collar and cat-paw symbol, a short purple plaid skirt, and black thigh-high leggings. Emberlynn is a massive weeaboo, enterprising fanfic author and delusional "chuunibyou", with a list of perverted fetishes a mile long – even the likes of Valentino would seem like chaste puritans in comparison. A blatant monsterfucker, she wanders the streets of Pride, harassing any Sinner or Hellborn that catches her interest with her delusions of "hot demon romance". Otherwise, Emberlynn is entirely benign and friendly. She was a target of I.M.P, and was killed by Blitzø (voluntarily, which creeps him out to this day). The client wanted her dead over a shipping dispute they had with her seven years ago. Now that she's ended up in Hell, Emberlynn spends her free time stalking poor Blitzø, in hopes of becoming his subservient girlfriend. As if the guy didn't have enough problems already...

—HEAVEN—

A peaceful realm of light and order, with clear blue skies, fluffy white clouds and green grass & trees. It is ruled by a celestial bureaucracy, with the Council of Elders at the very top, Seraphim acting as middle management, Adam and his Exorcists being Heaven's main military force, and Cherubim performing menial tasks. The common citizens of Heaven - former humans who earned the right to be here through virtuous lives - are called Winners, in contrast with the Sinners of Hell.

THE ELDERS OF HEAVEN – architects of all Creation, rule Heaven as a Council. Also known as the Seven Heavenly Virtues. All major decisions are deliberated in their opulent court and debated in heated trials. Their names are, in no particular ordee — Seraphiel (or simply Sera), Michael, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, Azrael and Jophiel. Lucifer, too, once was a member, until he was cast down to Hell for his actions in the Garden of Eden.

SERAPHIM – angels tasked with making the lives of Winners in Heaven full of warmth and happiness. Founded by Sera, who has named the caste after herself.

CHERUBIM – small animal-like angels tasked with menial jobs, such as bringing souls of people to Heaven. Notable members include the C.H.E.R.U.B team.

C.H.E.R.U.B – a specialised team of Cherubim, who travel down to Earth and help souls pass on to Heaven. They answer to Deerie, a senior deer-like Cherub. They consist of Collin, Keenie and Cletus.

.

HEAVEN'S NATIVE FAUNA – Earthborn animals live freely amongst the souls of Heaven, co-existing in peace & harmony. Cats mingle with dogs; bears and wolves walk side by side; hawks harmlessly play with foxes. Many of these animals hail straight from the Garden of Eden, and are thus loyal to the First Man, Adam, who was the one to name them and play with them, back before the Fall. Heaven is also home to various mythological species such as unicorns, dragons, phoenixes and others; they live in harmony just as every other soul in Heaven does.

EXORCISTS – a caste of female warrior angels, led by Adam the First Man. Distinguished by their all-black battle uniforms, and horned helmets with expressive black masks displaying white LED eyes and mouths. Every year, Adam leads the Exorcists into the Pride Ring of Hell, to exterminate the Sinner populace and keep it in check. Exorcists wield melee weapons made of Angelic Steel.

ADAM – the Biblical first man and the Giver of Names, ascended into one of Heaven's strongest angels, and the Exorcists' leader. Has a tall and stout appearance, wears flowing white cloak with black letter "A" on the chest area, face covered by horned helmet with black LED mask, displaying gold-colored eyes and sharp-toothed mouth. Underneath the mask, Adam is human-like, with fair skin, shining golden eyes, short brown hair and small goatee. Has large golden wings. Childish, juvenile and foul-mouthed, makes casual misogynistic and bigoted jokes and jabs; highly egotistical, believes himself, as the father of humanity and the one who gave names to all living species, to be "perfect" and incapable of doing wrong; however, Adam takes his job as Exorcist leader very seriously, and has a warm relationship with his female second-in-command, Lute; personally resents Lucifer for having taken both Lilith and Eve from him; loves eating ribs. His signature weapon is a large golden guitar-axe. Powers - flight, strength, beams of holy light.

LUTE – second-in-command of the Exorcists, takes orders directly from Adam himself. Wears the standard Exorcist uniform, but has black halo with white outline, and the right eye on her LED mask has an X-shaped pupil. Underneath the mask, a striking young woman, with pale skin, short silver hair, golden eyes. Ruthless zealot, whose sheer bloodlust sometimes disturbs even Adam himself; nonetheless, they have a strong friendship (and maybe something more); seven years ago, Lute personally oversaw Vaggie's expulsion from the Exorcists, ripped off her wings and stabbed out Vaggie's left eye – all for refusing to kill a Sinner child. Lute harbors secret romantic feelings for Adam, but isn't sure if he recipprocates or not, or if he even notices.

LILITH MORNINGSTAR – the original first woman, Lucifer's wife, ex-Queen of Hell. Tall statuesque demoness with pale lilac skin, long platinum-blonde hair, and light-violet eyes with white irises, pair of magenta horns, and dark lips. Wears extravagant purple dress and golden tiara adorned with red jewels. Polite and well-mannered, though not to be underestimated – Lilith is the quintessential, original 'girlboss'. Used to love Lucifer, but seven years ago, she left him due to his depressive attitude and disregard for his Sinner subjects; now lives as a VIP in Heaven, lounging on its beaches; still misses her daughter Charlie, but cannot directly communicate with her, due to the terms of the deal Lilith made with Adam to stay in Heaven.

EMILY – slim young Seraphim angel, Sera's protege. She has gray skin with light freckles, light-blue eyes, flowing silver hair. Wears a light periwinkle gown and blue sash around her waist. Kind, accepting and bubbly, very energetic person; does not believe the Sinners of Hell deserve to be killed in Adam's yearly Exterminations.

SERA (or SERAPHIEL) – tall slim angel, the High Seraph of Heaven. She has cedar-brown skin, white freckles, gray eyes and long silver hair. Wears long periwinkle-gray gown. Kind, accepting and responsible, won't tolerate improper behavior; disapproves of Adam and his annual Exterminations, but lets them happen to protect Heaven.

SAINT PETER – slim male angel, greets new souls at the Pearly Gates. Has pale skin, short curly blonde hair, blue eyes. Wears light-blue vest over golden shirt. Kind & welcoming towards everyone, on friendly terms with most angels, even the unpopular Adam.

DEERIE – small female deer Cherub, works as middle management. Brown fur, black eyes. Wears yellow office shirt, dark-green skirt. Passive-aggressive & condescending.

ABEL – son of Adam, set to inherit his father's position as Head Exorcist should anything bad happen to the First Man. Chubby young man with fair skin, curly blonde locks, golden eyes, and a gap tooth. Wears fancy white robe, similar to Adam's, has large golden wings and a yellow halo. Cheerful, kind, has a sweet tooth. Yes, he's the one that got bashed over the head with a rock by Cain; stop asking!

SPEAKER OF GOD – tall, curvy, chubby, avian angel female with brilliant gold feathers and shining white eyes, and long black eyelashes. Clad in a silver robe. Wise and kind, she delivers messages from God Himself to the Council of Archangels; and works to enact His will in His stead.

GOD – the man Himself. Typically appears as a tall humanoid, with porcelain-white skin. His face is blank and only has a toothy smile, but He has four large eyes floating beside Him at all times. He is dressed in a fancy white-&-gold suit and incredibly tall tophat, black bowtie & gloves, and a flowing cape with a starry inside; carries a golden cane. All-knowing and all-loving. He is currently on a millennia-long vacation; have you seen Him?

—OTHER STUFF—

EXTERMINATION TREATY — signed off on by Lucifer & Heaven's leadership long ago, when the Exterminations officially began. The Treaty dictates that the Exorcists are free to kill any and all Sinners they find within the Pride Ring. However, the Hellborn are off-limits; furthermore, the Exterminations are confined to the Pride Ring. ASMODEAN CRYSTALS — light-velvet magic gems, used by the Succubi & Incubi of Lust to travel between Heaven & Hell. As their name suggests, they are created en masse by Asmodeus. Hellborn must have express authorized permission to make use of an Asmodean Crystal; despite this, Blitzø of the Immediate Murder Professionals illegally owns one, as a backup option to keep his assassination business functoning, in case his little deal with Stolas falls through... SOUL CONTRACTS – the main way for Sinners to attain power and become Overlords. Contracts typically take the form of a magically-summoned paper, be it a parchment in the case of ancient Overlords like Zestial, or a seemingly printed-out list created by the likes of Vox. Certain Overlords, like Velvette or Alastor, can offer contracts through other mediums. The language used and the terms of the contract vary from Overlord to Overlord. In most cases, a Sinner bound to an Overlord gains a spiritual chain around their neck, that can be summoned or dispelled at any time. The color & appearance of the chain also varies depending on the Overlord – for example, the Sinners under Valentino are in smoky pink chains, Alastor keeps his employees in wispy green ones, and those under Vox chafe in crackling, light-blue "electric" chains.

HIERARCHY OF HELL – The top of the totem pole is occupied by the Morningstar royal family - Lucifer and Lilith, with their daughter Charlie being just one tier below them. Equal to her in power are the other Deadly Sins - Satan, Asmodeus, Mammon, Belphegor, Leviathan and Beelzebub. Further down are the aristocrats of the Ars Goetia, with many members wielding magic powers that make them some of the most formidable "common" opponents in Hell. Archfiends, when they still existed, were equal to the Goetia in power, only being edged out by the Deadly Sins themselves. Overlords are a tier below that, only a few being powerful enough to perhaps defeat an inexperienced and young Goetian noble. Further down still are the common Sinners of the Pride Ring, their resurrective immortality making them technically stronger than most Hellborn. Infestors, Succubi and Incubi rule the top of the lowest tiers, Sharks are somewhere in the middle, and Imps, Hybrids & Hellhounds are at the very bottom of Hell's society. Meanwhile, if Roo were to ever act, she would easily usurp the title of "top dog" from Lucifer.

HIERARCHY OF HEAVEN – At the very top naturally sits God – His power absolute and unquestionable. Just one tier below Him is the Speaker of God, who passes His words on to her equals within the Council of the Elders of Heaven – Michael, Uriel, Gabriel, Seraphiel, Jophiel, Azrael and Raphael. Below them are the Seraphim or Joy-Bringers, with Emily, who is Sera's protege and the relatively newest Seraphim, set to ascend to the Council once she matures and attains her full power. The Exorcists are around the same level as the Seraphim, by virtue of being part of Heaven's standing army, with their leader Adam only being slightly less powerful than Seraphiel. Moving further down are the Winners, human souls who've ascended to Heaven and represent its ordinary citizenry, though many figures who were notable in life have ascended to positions of relative authority, being seen as community leaders; and Cherubim are at the very bottom, being tasked with menial jobs.

STORY OF HELL — a small storybook with a red cover, written by Lucifer & Lilith for their daughter Charlie, that explains the initial history of Creation, from their (biased at best) perspective. It reads as follows: "Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light, Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these Angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of Creation. But he was seen as a troublemaker by the Elders of Heaven, for they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So, he watched as the Angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith, equals as the first of Mankind. But despite this, Adam demanded control, and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the Garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her, and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love. Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with Humanity, offering the Fruit of Knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream. But Lilith thrived, empowering Demonkind with her voice and songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year, they would send down an army, an Extermination, to ensure Hell and its Sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter... The Princess of Hell."
