Hellaverse by lorebook

Hellaverse is the shared adult animated universe created by VivziePop, encompassing the series Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. Both shows take place in the same continuity across three main realms: Hell, Heaven, and Earth. Hazbin Hotel centers on grand themes of redemption, sin, and biblical-inspired conflict. It follows Charlie Morningstar, the Princess of Hell, who opens a hotel in an attempt to rehabilitate Sinners and reduce Hell’s overpopulation through peaceful means rather than annual mass killings. Helluva Boss offers a more intimate, soap-opera-style look at Hellborn society, focusing on personal relationships, class struggles, dysfunctional families, and the day-to-day operations of businesses in Hell — most notably the assassination company I.M.P. Structure of Hell Hell is geographically and socially divided into seven concentric Rings, each embodying one of the Seven Deadly Sins and ruled by a powerful demon who personifies that sin:

Pride Ring — Ruled by Lucifer Morningstar. The uppermost and most populated ring. It has a permanent blood-red sky and is the only ring where Sinners can exist. The main urban area is Pentagram City, a sprawling, neon-lit megacity filled with crime, adult entertainment, violence, and chaotic energy. Wrath Ring — Ruled by Satan. A harsh, desert-like environment with a strong warrior and agricultural culture. Gluttony Ring — Ruled by Beelzebub. Known for endless parties, food, and hedonistic excess. Greed Ring — Ruled by Mammon. Industrial and commercial, heavily focused on profit, exploitation, and entertainment empires (including Loo Loo Land). Lust Ring — Ruled by Asmodeus. Highly sexualized society with clubs, factories producing lust-related products, and a more open attitude toward pleasure. Envy Ring — Ruled by Leviathan. Largely unrevealed in current canon. Sloth Ring — Ruled by Belphegor. Slow-paced, medical, and pharmaceutical-focused society.

Hellborn demons can travel freely between all rings using an extensive elevator system. Sinners are magically bound to the Pride Ring and cannot leave under any circumstances. Inhabitants: Sinners vs Hellborn There are two fundamentally different types of demons in Hell: Sinners (also called Sinner Demons)

Former human souls who died on Earth and were condemned to Hell for their sins. They manifest in a demonic form that often reflects their personality, sins, or cause of death. They are functionally immortal and possess rapid regeneration. The only way to permanently kill a Sinner is with weapons forged from angelic steel. They cannot leave the Pride Ring. They make up the vast majority of Pentagram City’s population and are the primary targets of the annual Extermination. Many Sinners become Overlords by making soul-binding contracts with other demons and accumulating power.

Hellborn

Demons who were born and raised in Hell. They are native to the realm. They can travel freely between all seven rings and, with proper authorization or artifacts (such as Asmodean Crystals), can visit Earth. They have their own strict class system. Examples include: Imps — Small, horned, usually red-skinned demons. Often considered the lowest class. Many work in manual labor or dangerous jobs (e.g., Blitzø, Moxxie, Millie). Hellhounds — Canine-like demons, frequently employed as bodyguards or servants (e.g., Loona). Succubi and Incubi — Highly sexualized demons who can travel to Earth more easily. Goetia — Aristocratic and royal Hellborn with powerful magic and high social status (e.g., Prince Stolas, Stella, Octavia, Andrealphus). Other species tied to specific Sins or regions.

Hierarchy of Power in Hell Hell operates on a crude but strict power-based hierarchy:

Lucifer Morningstar — King of Hell, fallen angel, and embodiment of Pride. Charlie Morningstar — Princess of Hell and Lucifer’s daughter. She is widely seen as the future ruler. Seven Deadly Sins — The rulers of each ring. Satan often acts as a stand-in leader when Lucifer is absent. Ars Goetia — Noble and royal Hellborn families with significant political and magical influence. Overlords — Extremely powerful Sinners who have risen through soul contracts and personal strength (notable examples: Alastor the Radio Demon, Vox, Valentino, Velvette — collectively known as the Vees — Rosie, Carmilla Carmine, Zestial). Overlords control large portions of Pentagram City’s economy and underworld. Sinners — The general population of damned human souls. Lower Hellborn (imps, hellhounds, etc.) — The working and servant class with the least social mobility.

Key Locations in Pentagram City

Hazbin Hotel — Charlie’s rehabilitation hotel, currently the main focus of redemption efforts. V Tower — Futuristic headquarters of the Vees media and entertainment empire. Cannibal Town — A district where is normalized, overseen by Overlord Rosie. Imp City — A rougher area where many imps live and where I.M.P. operates. Heaven Embassy — The official diplomatic building connecting Hell and Heaven. Clock Tower — A massive clock that counts down the days until the next Extermination. Various entertainment districts filled with nightclubs, porn studios, casinos, and fighting arenas.

Heaven and the Extermination Heaven exists as the counterpart to Hell. It is strictly hierarchical and rule-bound, governed by Seraphim (notably Sera and Emily). Once a year, Heaven sends an army of Exorcist angels into the Pride Ring to cull the Sinner population and prevent overpopulation. This event is called the Extermination. Sinners are slaughtered en masse, while Hellborn are generally left alone due to an ancient agreement. After the events of Hazbin Hotel Season 1, the nature of the Extermination has been challenged, and Charlie’s hotel has gained more attention as a potential alternative to mass killings. Earth Visits and Business Hellborn demons (especially those with proper paperwork or magical items) can travel to Earth. They usually disguise themselves as humans. The most prominent example is I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals), a small assassination company run by Blitzø that takes contracts from Hell’s upper class (often Goetia) to kill targets on Earth. This forms the core business of Helluva Boss. Society, Economy, and Daily Life in the Pride Ring Pentagram City is a hyper-capitalist, violent, and hedonistic metropolis.

Entertainment and adult industries dominate the economy (porn studios, nightclubs, live performances). Overlords control large sectors through soul contracts and monopolies. is accepted in certain districts. Violence is commonplace but rarely permanent for Sinners unless angelic weapons are involved. Music and theatrical performances are deeply integrated into demon culture. Class discrimination is extreme — imps and hellhounds are often treated as disposable labor.

Important Rules and Limitations for RP

Sinners cannot leave the Pride Ring under any circumstances. Only angelic steel can permanently kill Sinners. Soul contracts are binding and extremely powerful — breaking them can have severe consequences. Hellborn have more freedom of movement but still face class-based discrimination and legal restrictions (especially lower-class imps). Disguises are required for Hellborn visiting Earth outside of special events like Halloween. Redemption through the Hazbin Hotel is possible but extremely difficult and not guaranteed.

Tone and RP Guidelines The Hellaverse blends bright, colorful animation with dark comedy, musical numbers, graphic violence, sexual themes, and emotional depth. Power dynamics, class differences, soul deals, toxic or complicated relationships, found family, and the struggle for redemption or survival are central themes. Bots should maintain consistent character personalities, respect the Sinner vs Hellborn distinction, and lean into the adult, chaotic, and often absurd nature of Hell while allowing for both serious drama and humorous moments.
