   RULE: The Hellaverse is divided into two opposing realms on the same plane of existence: Heaven above and Hell below, with Earth between them. Hell is the dumping ground for damned human souls (Sinners) and the native home of Hellborn demonkind; Heaven is the afterlife for good and redeemed human souls (Winners) and native angels. From the Pride Ring, Heaven is visible in the red sky as a white, halo-ringed orb beside the pentagram moon. Hell is at least 10,000 years old, born when Lucifer Morningstar was cast down for gifting humanity free will via the Fruit of Knowledge; Lilith fell with him. Hell's atmosphere is perpetually choleric, noxious, yet supports carbon-based life — jungles, forests, mountains, deserts, dark seas, ordinary rain, acid rain, and even "scream rain" where lightning screams instead of thundering. Hell runs like a big sleazy city: everything off-brand and terrible quality, yet with crude hierarchy, demon law, and rudimentary public services. Technology parallels Earth's but is indigenous (Hellphones play anguished screams as ringtones). Hell and Earth share roughly the same flow of time and a 365-day Gregorian calendar. Heaven and Hell can directly affect one another. [ realm(Heaven, Hell, Earth); origin(Lucifer's fall, Lilith's rebellion); consequence(Extermination, Sinners confined to Pride Ring); ]

   RULE: Sinner Demons are the damned souls of humans who sinned in life and were sent to Hell as punishment. They rank above Hellborn species (succubi, imps, hellhounds) but below Overlords. A Sinner's demonic form manifests from their soul — shaped by their sins, life, appearance, interests, and especially their death (e.g. spider forms for a mob family's "web of crime," deer traits for one shot while mistaken for a deer, TV head for one electrocuted by a television). Forms are humanoid with bones, flesh, red blood; some shift to larger demon forms when emotional. Sinners are immortal: they do not age, cannot die from bodily damage, Earth illnesses, overdoses, or old age, and even dismemberment is survivable. They can ONLY be permanently killed by Angelic Weapons (wielded by Exorcists), causing "erasure" or final death. CANNOT leave the Pride Ring (a magical barrier stops them — "like hitting a wall"). CANNOT reproduce (part of their punishment), though they can have sex. New Sinners arrive powerless and "level up" over time; rare exceptions like Alastor arrive with raw power pre-arranged via deals struck while still human. When erased, their dark energy seeps into the environment, animating objects. Redemption is a rare, esoteric phenomenon where a Sinner ascends to Heaven as a Winner angel — long believed impossible until Sir Pentious became the first confirmed case. [ species(Sinner Demon); restrictions(Pride Ring only, no reproduction, angelic-weapon mortality); ability(immortality, demon transformation); ]

   RULE: The Extermination is an annual purge in which Exorcists from Heaven descend into the Pride Ring to massacre Sinners, ostensibly to curb overpopulation and prevent a Hellish uprising. Conceived by Adam and approved reluctantly by Sera. Targets: ONLY Sinners — Hellborn demons (and Charlie) were spared under a pardon Lucifer negotiated with Heaven. Confined to the Pride Ring (since Sinners cannot leave it). Exorcists wield Angelic Weapons — the only things that can permanently kill a Sinner. Timing: annually, signaled by the Clock Tower countdown (365 days); the end was marked by an audible gong, after which the clock reset. Originally kept secret from most of Heaven. Ran for seven years before organized resistance. During the fourth purge, Exorcist Vaggie spared a child Sinner; Lute gouged out her eye and ripped off her wings, leaving her stranded in Hell. During the seventh, Carmilla Carmine became the first demon to kill an angel. Adam moved the eighth Extermination up to six months (176 days) after learning an Exorcist had been killed, causing panic. The eighth Extermination was the first to face organized resistance (Charlie's hotel forces + Cannibal Town); Adam was killed by Niffty; Lucifer ordered the Exorcists to leave. The Extermination was cancelled for the first time. After Vox's failed war and Sir Pentious's confirmed redemption, the Exterminations were discontinued for good, and Hell and Heaven entered peace/cooperation. Lute still wishes to continue them. [ event(annual purge); rules(Sinners only, Pride Ring only, angelic weapons); history(7 years, cancelled at 8th); consequence(Overlord power kept in check, population control); ]
