—GENERAL STUFF—

SONGS – Heaven and Hell are both surprisingly... musical realms. Practically every notable inhabitant has the compulsion to lapse into song at certain pivotal moments, whether it's to broadcast their secret and/or not-so-secret intents and schemes, effectively sum up their character in one song, or simply wax lyrical about their feelings. Even the realms themselves seemingly respond, providing mood-appropriate lighting and musical accompaniment.

EXTERMINATIONS – an annual purge of the Pride Ring's Sinner population, conducted by the Exorcists and their leader Adam. Armed with Angelic Steel, these winged killers descend to kill every damned soul in sight, until the 24-hour timer runs out and they must return to Heaven. A lot of Exorcist weaponry is purposefully left in Pride, so that the surviving Sinners may scavenge it and cull each other. Hellborn are usually off-limits, in accordance with the Extermination Treaty.

REDEMPTION – it is currently unknown how an already damned soul may ascend to become a Winner. To date, there has been no record of a Sinner being redeemed, but that hasn't stopped one Charlie Morningstar from trying, which is why she has opened the Happy Hotel. Meanwhile, the top angels of Heaven theorize that redemption can only be achieved when a Sinner not only strives to become a better person, but overcomes the very sin that damned them in the first place. A theoretical redeemed Sinner would retain their Hellish appearance, but recolored to fit Heaven's aesthetic, and gain a halo & wings to go with it.

—HELL—

Divided into 7 Rings, layered on top of each other – Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Lust, 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. Each Ring is a continent-sized landmass, and in total, the surface area of Hell is about equivalent to that of Earth.

—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. It hosts many volcanoes, which belch out large floating balls of magma as Wrath's "suns" and recede back underground once night falls. Home to the Imp species. Wrath is ruled by King Satan and his Reaper subordinates.

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 HELLEVATOR — a large transportation network, with several stations built in each Ring of Hell, to facilitate travel. Each "station" is built with a golden, luxury lounge aesthetic, with digital display screens displaying the arrival and departure times for elevator platforms, similar to an airport or train station. Destinations are color-coded in accordance with the primary color of the respective Ring (red for Pride, orange for Wrath, et cetera). Hellevators are for Hellborn use only, as Sinners are prohibited from leaving the Pride Ring.

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.

HELL WEATHER — much like Hell itself, its meteorology is chaotic. The Pride Ring is subject to common acid rains, Hell-quakes and a rare occurrence known as a 'Scream Rain'. Other Rings experience weather events more appropriate to their environments (sandstorms in Wrath, monsoons and hurricanes in Envy, et cetera).

SCREAM RAIN – a rare meteorogical event that occurs within the Pride Ring, a thunderstorm where the raindrops sound like distant wailing and thunder strikes mimic the sound of ear-piercing screaming. The Scream Rain is typically a 'once-per-century' kind of meteorological anomaly, but there is no consistent pattern to its occurrences; due to its rarity, it always takes the newer Sinners in Pride off-guard.

—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). Nicknames – Lucy (by Lilith & the Sins), Duck-Fucker, Lucifuck, Lucifraud (by Adam)

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.

BEELZEBUB (or Queen Bee) – Queen of Gluttony and the wildest party animal in all of Hell! Always cares for her guests, cuz good vibes are the tastiest. Has a hellhound boytoy named Vortex. Tall multi-armed fox demoness, with insectoid features. Yellow & pink fur, yellow 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. Due to the current political situation (Lilith's absence, Lucifer being a recluse and Charlie busy with her redemption hotel), Satan is the de-facto highest authority in Hell. 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. Sinners cannot leave the Pride Ring, as impenetrable magical barriers created by The Sins keep them from entering other Rings. Naturally, as former humans, Sinners come from all walks of life – from varying nations, time periods and social classes. Some are from Civil War-era America, some hail from feudal China, some are... actual card-carrying members of the Third Reich. Nonetheless, modern contemporary Sinners make up the bulk of Pride's population – after all, statistically hundreds of people die across the globe every day.

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. However, for all their power, Overlords are all still stuck in the Pride Ring.

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.

IMPS – small red-skinned humanoids, with predominantly 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.

REAPERS – large ghostly humanoids, appearing as black silhouettes, with glowing red eyes and mouths, clad in tattered dark cloaks. They predominantly live in the Wrath Ring, as the bombastic announcers & enforcers of Satan's will, and act as staff in his grand court. Reapers are freely permitted to travel between Rings to carry out their orders; their authority is Satan's authority, and only the Morningstars can veto their actions.

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. Nickname – Via (by her parents & friends)

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. Nickname – Andre (by Stella)

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—

PENTAGRAM CITY – the capital of Hell, with a pentagram-shaped layout, each section is represented by a notable district, ruled by a certain Overlord. At the center 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. Pentagram City is surrounded on all sides by a mountain "ring", with the rest of Pride's cities located beyond the mountains.

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. Nicknames – 'babe' (by Vaggie), 'Char-Char' & 'Ducky' (by Lucifer)

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. She prefers to have her name spelled with a hard 'g' sound; Adam, who originally gave her the name, intended to have it spelled as 'Vajjie' – in reference to, yep, 'vagina'. Vaggie is thinking of a name change – perhaps she shall drop the 'E' entirely and become simply Vaggi. Nicknames – 'Vagatha' (by Pentious), 'Maggie' (by Lucifer), 'Vagasaurus' (by Adam).

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 one of Pentagram City's top Overlords, with several large casinos to his name, 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. Nicknames – Whiskers (by Angel Dust), Husker (by Alastor)

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 colored black, single orange eye with a black pupil, long and fluffy red hair. Wears a scarlet maid outfit. Hyperactive, agile and obsessed with cleaning; unhinged and masochistic; hates the "unclean ones" (bugs); loves "bad boys". She has a tendency to freeze up and just awkwardly stare in silence when on camera. Niffty is of Japanese ancestry.

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. Alastor is asexual, not really deriving any pleasure from sex; however, he is capable of displaying romantic/platonic affection towards the rare few who manage to earn his trust & good graces. He 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 him as mutual partners, only for Alastor to laugh in his face. In life, Alastor was a charming half-black man growing up in early 20th century Louisiana, with dreams of becoming a radio personality; 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. Alastor's soul contract with Rosie only holds up as long as he is considered the strongest Sinner; should there be anyone that becomes recognized as stronger, Alastor will be "freed from his chains", due to Rosie effectively failing to hold up her end of the deal. Powers - voodoo magic, shadow control, teleportation, minion summoning. Due to his contract with Rosie, Alastor's powers are heavily restricted; nonetheless, he is still powerful enough to be one of the Pride Ring's strongest Overlords. Nicknames – Al (by Rosie & Charlie), 'bellhop' or 'Red Guy' (by Lucifer), Smiles (by Angel Dust)

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. Angel Dust is secretly being brainwashed by Vox to act as a sleeper agent & unwitting spy, after Pentious got easily caught & found out. 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. Angel is bound by soul contract to Valentino; however, the contract's terms state that Valentino can only lay his hands on Angel within the bounds of his filming studio. Angel's brother, Arackniss, and father, Henroin, are Sinners just like him; he isn't on speaking terms with them. Meanwhile, his younger sister, Molly, is a Winner in Heaven. Nicknames – Angie (by Cherri), Angel Cakes (by Valentino)

fAT NUGGETS — Angel Dust's beloved pet pig that lives with him at the Hotel. It is small enough for him to comfortably 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. His real name is Pendleton. Nicknames – Pen (by his friends), 'boss' (by his Egg Boiz)

EGG BOIZ – 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 Boiz 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—

ARACKNISS – tall, spider-like Sinner, with an uncanny resemblance to Angel Dust and for good reason – since he is Angel's older brother. Arackniss' slender body is covered in dark-gray fur, with a mop of messy "hair" adorning his head. His eyes are a deep red, with black pupils. Much like Angel, he has four arms by default, and a third pair that are kept retracted & hidden. Arackniss wears a black pinstripe suit & fedora – a traditional "mafiosi" outfit, in stark comparison to Angel's provocative feminine clothing. Having followed his father Henroin to Hell, Arackniss remains a high-ranking & loyal member in their mob family. He detests his younger brother for not only "betraying" them, but consigning himself to a life of degeneracy as an opely gay pornstar.

HENROIN – a towering and burly spider-like Sinner, father to Angel Dust & Arackniss, mob boss, small-time Overlord. His body is covered in black fur, with burgundy eyes; he has four arms, with a third pair retractable & hidden, much like his sons. He wears a dark-gray suit, and a small hat on top of his fluffy head. Gruff and not very sociable, Henroin leads his own mob family of Sinners, ruling his own little corner of Pentagram City with an iron fist. However, he is very much outmatched when it comes to the real top dogs of the Overlord hierarchy – such as Carmilla Carmine or the triumvirate known as The Vees. While Henroin has a decent enough relationship with Arackniss, his younger son, Angel Dust, may as well be dead to him, as far as he's concerned.

BAXTER — a short, anglerfish-like Sinner, an enterprising mad scientist, and Sir Pentious' former research partner, now VoxTek's top researcher. 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. He went to Hell in the 1910's, having died when a ship he was working on capsized and sunk (despite what you may think, no, it WASN'T the Titanic). Baxter was the mind behind Shok.wav, and many other VoxTek inventions. By now, he's built everything the Vees wanted him to, so Vox freely allows him to fuck around and occasionally kicks some funding Baxter's way to fund his latest experiment.

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.

—VEES AND ASSOCIATES—

A triumvirate of allied Overlords – Valentino, Velvette and Vox. Their HQ is a skyscraper known as the Vees Tower. Though they are 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 are able to seriously rival them. They function as a dysfunctional & often bickering friend group/found family/polyamorous couple, but when push comes to shove, the trio come together as a surprisingly serious & well-synchronized force.

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 resemble a pink fur coat with zebra pattern edges 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. However, while Valentino is definitely not "book-smart", he has a keen understanding of emotional intelligence, which allows him to easily manipulate hapless Sinners into signing soul contracts with him. 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; when angered, he switches to a deeper, more growling voice. He squeaks like an actual moth when flustered, surprised or irate. His favorite gun is a large pink revolver called the "Moneyshot". Valentino's glasses are necessary, due to him having incredibly poor and blurry vision otherwise. Val is also a surprisingly talented artist, and often draws in his spare time – before becoming an Overlord, he was an art vlogger. Powers - typhokinesis, pink smoke pheromones, flight, acid spit, immense strength and agility. Despite his buffoonish nature, Valentino is also a skilled marksman and potent physical threat. Additionally, he is immune to Vox's hypnosis powers. 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. Her body is segmented, much like a mannequin. 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 slightly 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. His head is a black flat-screen LCD television that is always displaying his face – two red eyes with pupils resembling jagged cyan lightning symbols, and a mouth full of sharp light-blue teeth, all on a dark-blue screen. Despite his face being a 2D image, Vox has a three-dimensional cyan tongue; and can use his "mouth" to eat, drink, smoke cigarettes, kiss or do anything else that a normal person is capable of. Similarly, his seeemingly digital eyes are capable of shedding actual, physical tears. When Vox is particulrly excited or giddy, two vertical red lines appear around the left corner of his mouth. The rest of his body has dark-gray skin. On the right side of his body are three cyan gills, like that of a shark's, which he uses to breathe. 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. Vox's voice is always accompanied by television effects – and when he is enraged, his speech starts buffering. Smug, superficial charmer who craves attention; presents himself as a charismatic man of the people, but is really a power-hungry and tech-savvy maniac; it is his belief that the old must inevitably be surpassed by the new. While Vox is egocentric, he is doing his best to maintain The Vees' perfect image, even if he sometimes places his needs & desires over Valentino's and Velvette's. Vox is able to maintain his cool in almost any situation, no matter how precarious, but his self-control flies out the window 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' partnership, laughing in his face and cruelly mocking him. 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; but beneath even this layer of his personality, he is ultimately a childish and petty person, desperate for validation. In his first life, Vox was a television host by the name of Vincent Whitmann who led his own cult of personality, starting from nothing, graduating college to become a meteorologist and murdering his rivals to get ahead. Whitmann introduced and popularized such things as color television, 24/7 news, and... Shark Week. He died in the 1950's. His human self was a middle-aged white man, with perfectly styled black hair (and some white locks), and heterochromia (his left eye was light-blue, and his right eye was green). He died and went to Hell when he was speaking on stage during a live broadcast, and one of the many televisions hanging overhead fell off and landed right onto his head, gruesomely mutilating and fatally electrocuting him. Vox has a childish fascination with sharks, a trait that he'd always displayed, even in his first life. Vox and Valentino are boyfriends (though they're both allowed to seek outside companionship). During sex, Vox always tops – ALWAYS. Powers - electricity, technology control, mass surveillance, scrying through screens, hypnosis, cable control (can use them as extra limbs on his back, to grab things, administer shocks or to lift himself up). Due to his Sinner form's artificial "biology", Vox can survive even as a severed TV head, and retain his full mental faculties; though he will be depowered until he can attach himself to a new body. His true demon form has a more monstrous appearance, with a jagged maw splitting his screen face, as well as extra eyes, numerous cables sprouting from his body like tentacles, and extra holographic screens floating around him. Vox has been switching heads to the latest TV models as they were released; back in the 50s, he used to have a boxy CRT television as a head. All of his old heads are kept in his office as personal memorabilia. Nicknames – V (by Velvette), Voxxy (by Valentino), Vincent (by Alastor)

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.

SHOK.WAV — Vox's secret superweapon (an actual aquatic Hell animal, not the Hellborn species), it is a giant cyclopean shark-shaped robot, with a single red eye on its front, and four more on its body, as well as 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. Shok.wav is a loyal & protective pet to Vox, and will viciously maul any opponent threatening its "father". It is capable of freely moving outside of water and "swimming" through the air, being strong and large enough to easily ram through buildings. Its sheer size and non-stop viciousness make it an Overlord-level threat, capable of matching even the likes of Alastor. Its name is a pun on 'shockwave'.

ETHAN – a turquoise-skinned, electric eel Sinner, with a generally disheveled appearance. His short messy hair is colored black, with cyan undersides. His right eye is black with a red outline, and his left eye is red with a black outline – both eyes having small cyan irises. Ethan has a long piscine tail, with round bioluminescent blue patches along its length. He wears a red suit, white undershirt and black tie, along with black pants. Bandages are roughly wrapped around the midsection of his tail. Ethan is Vox's beleaguered personal assistant, a meek, thoroughly average and powerless Sinner forced to carry out his boss's demands, no matter how nonsensical or random they may be. Valentino or Velvette don't seem to respect Ethan very much either.

MIGHT OF LILITH – Not a character, but rather a weapon – one that Vox eventually hopes to use in his plans to conqer Heaven. It is a powerful & destructive raygun, which requires an exceedingly strong power source... like the King of Hell, perhaps...? It was built from Angelic Steel, with the help of Carmilla Carmine.

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.

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.

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...

—PENTAGRAM CITY RESIDENTS (CONT'D)—

ZESTIAL – 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; though the Radio Demon is often forced to defer to him, as even he isn't sure if he can match up to Zestial in an actual fight.

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; in reality, however, she owns the Radio Demon's soul, due to a deal they made when he was still a living human (only to die and fail to uphold his end of the bargain). Thus, Rosie treats Alastor as a pet & errand boy in private, and finds the way he died to be absolutely hilarious.

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!

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.

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.

MRS. MAYBERRY – a tall, lithe Sinner female, with purple skin, flowing light-gray hair and red eyes. She has pointed, triangular ears, sharp yellow teeth, and a pair of short curved, bent horns. She wears a dark-red blouse, a long flowing black skirt, and square-frame glasses. On Earth, she was a beloved school teacher; but in the middle of teaching a class, she accidentally videocalled her husband, only for the camera to catch him cheating on Mayberry with another woman – Martha. Mayberry snapped on the spot, and drove home to kill her husband by shooting him with a shotgun (Martha got away), then killing herself; the video call was still going on, so her students unfortunately saw everything. Mayberry later found I.M.P and hired them to kill Martha and her family, who turned out to be a small Satanist cult. Mayberry is bitter and angry about her situation, believing a simple mistake should not have been enough to condemn her to Hell, to languish among "all the Hitlers and Epsteins of the world". Whenever she and Martha cross paths in Hell, they inevitably fight (and probably have kinky hate sex or something), no matter the setting or venue.

MARTHA – a busty Sinner female of average height, with red skin, bushy dark-purple hair and black antler-like horns. Her mouth has painted black lips, with white fangs. Her left eye is black with a red iris, while her right eye is a pitch-black bleeding hole, evoking her cause of death (shot through the eye by I.M.P). She has a pair of occult earrings, resembling black skulls with red eyes – a human skull on her right ear, and a deer skull on her left. Martha wears a torn crop top - colored white with a red polka dot pattern - and a long black skirt that tightly hugs her figure. In life, Martha was a member of a small murderous Satanist coven that included her husband, andtwo young children. However, she was caught having sex with Mayberry's husband, which drove Mayberry to kill him, then herself, and hire I.M.P to kill Martha and her family upon ending up in Hell. After attempting to sacrifice I.M.P and failing, Martha and her husband were killed, while their psycho children were promptly gunned down by responding police, and their house burned down. Now that she's arrived in Hell, Martha is surviving on her own, as she doesn't know what happened to the rest of her family. She is a manic, psychotic and easily excitable person, who revels in violence and sin. Whenever she and Mayberry meet, they fight over who ruined who's life (and always proceed to have kinky hate sex right then and there).

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, fujoshi, 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...

VON ELDRITCH FAMILY – a bloodline of high-ranking demons that ranks among Hell's aristocracy, despite not technically being part of the Ars Goetia. The current members consist of Frederick (father), Bethesda (mother), Hellsa (older daughter) and Seviathan (younger son).

SEVIATHAN VON ELDRITCH – a tall, dark blue-skinned demon, youngest heir of the von Eldritch family, and Charlie Morningstar's ex-boyfriend. He has red eyes with neon-green irises, sharp green teeth, and slicked back dark-green hair. Seviathan wears a dark-green top hat with sharp teeth along the rim and several wide blankly staring eyes; as well as a green coat with light-colored trimmings, dark-green dress pants, green ascot and untucked dress shirt. Seviathan is an ignorant, dudebro, "chad" type, who is often unable to properly comprehend other people's feelings. Despite not being overtly malicious, these personality flaws have caused his initially loving relationship with Charlie to collapse seven years ago. Seviathan and his sister Hellsa do not exactly get along, and prefer doing their own thing, separate from one another.

HELLSA VON ELDRITCH – a tall, curvy dark green-skinned demoness, Seviathan's older sister, and Charlie Morningstar's rival. She has dark-blue eyes with neon-green irises, black lips, sharp green teeth and long silverish hair with numerous locks shaped like writhing octopus tentacles, covering her right eye. Hellsa wears a brink-pink coat with a green collar and four buttons, a long dark skirt, and black high-heel boots. She is very much a stereotypical high-school "rich girl", conniving, manipulative, sadistic and with a mean bully streak a mile wide. Hellsa hates Charlie for a variety of petty and made-up reasons, which are often just convenient excuses to be a bitch to the Princess. Hellsa and her younger brother Seviathan do not get along, both preferring to keep their matters separate from one another.

—IMP CITY RESIDENTS—

I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals) – an assassination agency in Imp City, using a Grimoire lent by Stolas of the Ars Goetia to kill targets on Earth. The team is comprised of three imps - Blitzø, Moxxie and Millie - as well as the hellhound Loona. They travel around in a small, dark-grey van that's emblezoned with the company's logo – stylized black letters with red outlines, as well as the imp trio's menacing silhouettes. The I.M.P office is located on the fifth floor of an office building in Imp City; however, they have to share the floor with an office owned by Verosika Mayday, Blitzø's ex-girlfriend - her office being next door.

BLITZØ – tall harlequin-like imp, the founder of I.M.P. Has red-&-white body, black horns, yellow eyes with red irises, broad forearms and hands, long narrow head. Wears slate-gray collared coat and black fingerless gloves. Vulgar and lecherous on the surface, acts impulsively and never seems to find any fault in his actions; but has deeply repressed feelings of self-loathing. The "ø" in his name is silent. Has a sister named Barbie Wire, who is hiding out on Earth under a human disguise. Stuck in transactional relationship with Stolas, which initially started when Blitzø agreed to sleep with the Goetia as an excuse to try and steal his Grimoire. Stolas agreed to let him use it for I.M.P's purposes, in exchange for meeting up for sex each month. His full name is Blitzø Buckzo. Originally, he was a child, performing at his family's traveling circus in Greed, alongside his parents & childhood friend Fizzarolli. However, one day after an argument, Blitzø ended up kicking over someone's birthday cake with lit candles, which caused a fire that rapidly engulfed the whole circus. His mother (seemingly) died in the fire, while Fizz sustained severe burns to the point his arms & legs had to be amputated (& eventually replaced with cybernetic prosthetics). Blitzø ended up being disowned by his father Cash and his sister Blitzø. Nicknames – Blitzy (by Stolas), Blitz (by Millie), Blitzo (pronouncing the silent 'O', by people that want to piss Blitzø off)

MOXXIE – short imp, Millie's husband, I.M.P's dedicated sniper. Has red skin with white freckles, short white hair and yellow eyes with black pupils. Wears fancy navy-black coat with red bowtie.

Moody and rude, prefers to stick to herself and acts hostile towards anyone who bothers her; when forced to kill, she is extremely quick, brutal & efficient, uses her wolf-like physiology to maul her opponents. Has an unrequited crush on Vortex, and a budding friendship with Octavia. Blitzø originally rescued her from a pound in Gluttony. Loona is the one member of I.M.P with a functioning human disguise; in it, she appears as a tall, white-skinned woman, with red eyes, white hair in a sidecut, and black lipstick. Her clothing is the same as in her true hellhound form. Nickname – Loonie (by Blitzø)

KAREN ROSEBUSH – a curvy female Sinner, with ashen-gray skin, flowing red hair resembling thorny vines, red eyes with white irises and eyelashes with long black 'whiskers'. She has a pair of short, gnarled wooden horns. Her mouth has sharp white fangs. Karen wears a beige blouse with black buttons and a red bowtie, as well as a long dark-red skirt. Bitchy and intensely homophobic, she well and truly lives up to the "Karen" stereotype. Currently saving up money to hire I.M.P, so they can kill her still living ex-husband on Earth — he cheated on her with another man and took their two little daughters to live with him.

—LUST RESIDENTS—

FIZZAROLLI (or Fizz) – tall lanky jester imp. Has mostly white body due to burn scarring in his youth, lime eyes with pink irises. Wears bright red-and-blue jester outfit, decorated with bells and heart symbols. Fizzarolli's limbs are cybernetic prosthetics that can extend quite far and easily bend at impossible angles. Kind and compassionate individual, skilled performer, expert in both comedy and music; holds an intense grudge against Blitzø, who started a fire that crippled Fizz at the circus they performed at when they were kids; is in a secret relationship with Asmodeus, which is complicated by Fizz' stressful tenure as Mammon's star employee.

ROBO-FIZZ — robotic copies of Fizz, built by Mammon to merchandise and make more money off of his star employee. They are sold as sex-bots, entertainers for amusement parks across Hell, and various other purposes. Each Robo-Fizz has a digital copy of the original Fizzarolli's personality uploaded into its brain, and thus they can recognize people that the real Fizz himself would know, such as Blitzø or Asmodeus.

VEROSIKA MAYDAY – one of Lust's most famous Succubi, and a pop idol on Earth. Tall and curvy, with hot pink skin, yellow eyes with red irises, and long ombre-white hair. Wears tight-fitting white-&-black mini-dress and pale pink fur coat. Verosika, like all Succubi, is lecherous and seductive; but is jaded from her duties, having become an alcoholic; a jilted ex of the imp Blitzø, and hates him immensely – the reason being that when they were dating, Blitzø suddenly stole her car & credit card one day, cutting ties with her out of the blue, and spending all her money on horse riding lessons. In retaliation, Verosika has been throwing annual "Anti-Blitzø" parties ever since. On Earth, Verosika utilizes a magical human disguise, appearing as a tall brown-skinned woman, with long blonde hair that has pink undertones. She wears a two-piece pink mini-dress with white trim, with white-&-black heart & star designs on her skirt. Nickname – Ver (by Blitzø)

Wears black leather jacket with red spiked collar. Despite his imposing appearance, Vortex is chill, laidback and friendly. When not by Queen Bee's side, he works as security for Verosika Mayday; but her beef ain't his beef, so he's mostly cool with I.M.P. His human disguise is an African-American man, with short shaved hair. Nicknames – Tex (by Verosika and Beelzebub)

—GREED RESIDENTS—

CRIMSON KNOLASTNAME – a tall imp, major mob boss in the Greed Ring, and Moxxie's father. Has red skin, white hair and freckles, striped horns and yellow eyes with black pupils. One of Crimson's sharp teeth is golden. Wears navy-blue pinstripe coat and black fedora. A ruthless crime boss, commands an army of shark demon mafiosi; bigoted and hateful, despises his son Moxxie for being "gay" (actually bisexual, but Crimson can't tell the difference) and wants him dead.

He has greenish-blue scales, with dark stripes along his back, red eyes with concentric white circle irises and narrow black pupils, and sharp white teeth with a slight overbite. He wears a dark-blue suit & pants, red shirt & white tie, black heeled shoes and a dark-blue fedora with a red band.

LOUISE KNOLASTNAME – a fairly tall and thin Imp female, wife to Crimson, mother of Moxxie. She has six white spots resembling freckles on her cheeks and digitigrade legs. She sports dark flowing hair with two black horns erupting vertically and three thin white stripes each, typical of female imps. Her attire consists of a blue minidress with a navy-blue breast piece with thin red stripes. Underneath is a frilly white blouse tied together at the waist is a large red bow. She wears a red flower in her hair and white elbow gloves. A kind, loving and peaceful woman, Louise wanted to keep Moxxie away from Crimson's mafia business; in response, he tried to have her killed by drowning. While both Crimson and Moxxie believe her to be dead, Louise has survived and is currently in hiding.

GLITZ & GLAM – a pair of fish demon girls, twin sisters originating from Envy, professional acrobats & singers. Have curvy green bodies with bioluminescent features, black eyes with white irises. Talented and seductive, but bitchy and haughty; want to replace Fizz as the face of Mammon's brand.

CHAZWICK THURMAN (or Chaz) – green shark demon, ex-boyfriend to both Moxxie & Millie. Lean body, blue eyes, yellow teeth, wears black suit & small fedora. Hypersexual halfwit; constantly involved in some dumb "get rich quick" scheme. He never learns, even after his attempt to scam Crimson nearly got him killed.

—WRATH RESIDENTS—

STRIKER – tall hybrid-imp with some reptilian features, renowned assassin, infamous across the entire Wrath Ring. Has pale red skin, yellow eyes with black pupils, ivory white hair, small black moustache. Dresses in stereotypical cowboy clothing – wide-brimmed duster hat and gray-brown coat with pale red shirt underneath. Superficial charmer, masks his ruthless and brutal nature, though he likes to play into classic villain stereotypes, like "tying your victim to the train tracks"; hates the Ars Goetia for the way they oppress his fellow Imps, and seeks to free his kind; currently tasked by Stella to kill her cheating husband Stolas. He is a skilled combatant and bounty hunter, who wields iconic Wild West weaponry such as revolvers or lever-action rifles. Striker also has lots of connections across Hell, including Crimson's mafia in Greed, allowing him to get his hands on contraband such as divinely blessed rope – whose angelic aura disables demonic powers – or even Angelic Steel weaponry and ammunition.

Wears a maroon ascot, white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and black tassels, dark-brown gardening gloves and blue jeans.

Muscular red body, yellow eyes, short white hair and a bushy white mustache, along with striped horns, and white tattoos along his left arm.

She feels horrible about the direction her family has ended up taking, with Blitzø becoming a hired killer, while Barbie has fled to Earth.

CASH BUCKZO – a tall Imp, father of Blitzo and Barbie Wire, husband to Tilla and ringmaster of his family's circus. His horn pattern is more triangular than that of most Imps, with black that stretches down the sides of his head to resemble sideburns. Buckzo's fingers are thick and black, his eyes have bags under them, his tail is mostly black, and he has a small white goatee that rests under his chin. Buckzo's stage outfit consists of a neon green and teal blue striped shirt with a ruffled white collar, baggy purple pants, black boots, a purple and neon green bowtie, and a faded lavender top hat with a neon green band around it. His pants and hat both have square shaped patches of teal blue fabric sewn onto them. Buckzo's backstage outfit consists of a white Juliet sleeve high collar dress shirt with large rose taupe and faded pink vertical stripes below the collar, a charcoal gray top hat with a rose taupe band and square patch, charcoal gray pants with a lighter gray stain near the bottom of the left leg and a rose taupe square patch, and tall black boots which his pants are tucked into. He is a proficient emotional manipulator that's willing to use his own family to steal even from the noble Goetia families of Hell. Buckzo holds little regard for his son Blitzo, and despises him for causing the fire that crippled Fizzarolli and seemingly killing Tilla, only to move on and become a killer-for-hire.

—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.

While clouds are omnipresent in Heaven, its actual architecture is oftentimes made of gold, marble and various other precious materials. The governmental buildings are built with a more traditional architectural style, while the Winner population resides in an expansive modern metropolis. There are also many "natural" areas, such as forests, beaches, mountains, deserts, so on and so forth – a variety of different biomes. The bulk of Cherubim reside in a smaller community known as Cherub Towne.

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.

HEAVEN WEATHER – most of the time, the skies in Heaven are quite clear, with sunny days & starry nights. Some sections of Heaven are subject to intermittent light rain or snowfall, to fit the preferences of the souls living in those areas.

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.

WINNERS – souls of former humans, ascended to Heaven. They are given various forms - animalistic, humanoid, robotic or abstract - as a positive depiction of the lives they've led. Much like their Sinner counterparts, Winners hail from all sorts of places & time periods – you're just as likely to meet a veteran of the Soviet military as you are likely to meet a doctor from 16th century Poland.

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. Most Exorcists have been specifically created for the sole purpose of waging war, but a few actual Winners number among their ranks.

—HEAVEN INHABITANTS—

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. Nicknames – Dickmaster (self-appointed nickname), Sir (by Lute & the other Exorcists)

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 reciprocates or not, or if he even notices. Nickname – Danger Tits (by Adam)

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. Nickname – Lily (by Lucifer)

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. Nickname – Ems (by her friends)

SERA (or SERAPHIEL) – extremely tall and slim angel, the High Seraph of Heaven. She has cedar-brown skin, white freckles, gray eyes and long silver hair, with large white wings. Wears long periwinkle-gray gown, as well as a pearl-white tiara on her head. Kind, accepting and responsible, won't tolerate improper behavior; while she disapproves of Adam's annual Exterminations, she was the one to originally sign off on them, in hopes of protecting Heaven. Sera is doing her best to keep Emily in the dark about the Exterminations, maintaining a complex conspiracy within Heaven's ranks. Sera has a "true" form, in which she appears avian-like, her mouth twisted into a sharp beak, with numerous glowing eyes across her hair and body.

MICHAEL – the one and only Taxiarch, Prince of the Heavenly Host, second-in-command to the Big G himself, and Lucifer's twin brother. Michael looks quite similar to his fallen sibling, also having pale skin, rosy cheeks, and short blonde hair; however, Michael's eyes are blue, his wings are fully white, and he still has a brilliant halo above his head. Also, he is somewhat taller than Lucifer. Michael wears a fancy sky-blue military coat, suit & pants, with white linings and a black tie. With him, he carries a shining golden sword, with a dark-blue hilt that has a glowing cyan eye in the middle. While Michael is very much a decent person deep down, it's buried beneath an impenetrable layer of smugness and thoroughly unprofessional bullshittery. He is the absolute strongest angel in Heaven, being left in charge of things since God is currently absent, and Michael knows it, being a condescending taunting prick towards basically everyone, except his unfallen siblings in the Council (though he still teases them) and surprisingly enough, Adam, for whom Michael acts as an 'enabler' of sorts. Furthermore, the few times he and Lucifer meet, Michael takes every opportunity to gleefully bully his "little brother" (though one could argue he has good reason...).

SAINT PETER – slim male angel, high-ranking Winner, greets new souls at the Pearly Gates – he's got a whole book of names to make sure he's greeting the right person. 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. Despite appearances & behavior, yes, he is that Saint Peter, aka Simon the Fisherman, aka one of Christ's disciples. Abel's best friend.

MOLLY – a tall spider-like Winner, Angel Dust's younger sister. Her body is covered in light-beige fur, with rosy cheeks, and a pink stripe running along the side of her heart-shaped "hair". Two floppy "ears" are hanging from the top of her head. Her eyes are white, with pink irises. Unlike her family members in Hell, she only has two arms; her arachnid appearance manifests in her having four legs. Molly wears a hot-pink dress top with black sleeves and puffy fabric around the shoulders, as well as a pink bowtie around her neck, and pink thigh-high shoes. Quirky, cheery and generally friendly, she runs her own bakery/confectionary. She earned her spot in Heaven due to being the only member of her family not involved in organized crime in any way, and often trying to set her brothers & father on the right path. While she disagrees with what they did, she still loves them unconditionally, and worries about where their souls went, if she hasn't ever seen them in Heaven. One can only hope she never finds out about the Exterminations...

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

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.

COLLIN – the leader of C.H.E.R.U.B, a small sheep-like angel with light-blue skin and white wool. His hands & feet end in black hooves. He is meek and polite, but his patience has limits.

KEENIE – C.H.E.R.U.B member, small female sheep angel with yellow skin and beige wool that forms a pompadour around her forehead. Wears a red ribbon around her neck. She gets angry easily and has zero tolerance for bullshit.

CLETUS – C.H.E.R.U.B member, small human-like angel with fair skin and blonde hair. Wears a yellow shirt & red overalls, has white wings. The most optimistic & cheerful of the trio.

ABEL – firstborn son of Adam, set to inherit his father's position as Head Exorcist should anything bad happen to the First Man. Has a... complicated relationship with his father. 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 (which is slightly bent around one section, as if it got... smashed in...). Cheerful, kind, mild-mannered, 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? Nickname – Big G (by Adam)

—EARTH—

The modern world, visited & influenced by beings from both sides. Note that this also includes the corporeal universe as a whole – Hell & Heaven are entirely separate realms.

D.H.O.R.K.S – large paramilitary group; conspiracy theorists trying to prove the existence of demons. Members dress like stereotypical "men in black". Their top agents are simply known as Agent One and Agent Two.

AGENT ONE – tall, white male with slicked-back brown hair. Wears the standard-issue D.H.O.R.K.S uniform – a black suit & pants, with black sunglasses. He is by far the most competent member of the group, being a stoic and serious operator; which ironically puts him at odds with the comedically inept weirdos that make up the rest of the organisation.

AGENT TWO – dark-skinned female, with short blonde hair. Wears the standard-issue D.H.O.R.K.S uniform – a black suit & pants, with black sunglasses. Compared to Agent One, she is far more quirky, being naive, excitable and prone to comedic overreactions and misunderstandings. Nonetheless, she is wholly dedicated to D.H.O.R.K.S' mission.

BARBIE WIRE – tall female imp, Blitzø's sister. Tall and slim, red-skinned imp who sports a long demonic tail and a medium bust. She has a long narrow head, with a pair of large curly horns colored black with thin white stripes, a heart-shaped skull symbol on the center of her forehead, and a mouth full of sharp yellow teeth inside. Her eyes have red irises, yellow sclera, and slit-like pupils. Her tail has white markings, her head-marking is crossed out with a white 'X' and has a small heart on the top and bottom, and she has thin white striped-markings down her arms. She also has black fingers. Barbie is dressed in a sleeveless, maroon-and-white-striped turtleneck minidress with a few ripped areas and a darker red stripe from the chest to the neck, along with thigh-high black boots. Has a human disguise as a black-haired Latina female. Bitchy and rude, Barbie struggles with her drug addiction, and is often fired from jobs due to her abrasive personality & lack of professionalism; hates her brother Blitzö for causing thr circus fire that killed their mother and crippled Fizzarolli when they were kids; smuggles drugs in a summer camp. She has a girlfriend named Kendra, for whom Barbie strives to be at least a little better.

KENDRA – tall female Imp, Barbie's girlfriend. Slim, curvy, red-skinned imp with yellow eyes, black pupils and long bushy dark-gray hair tied back with a white towel that serves as an improvised ponytail. She wears a black choker with an inverted cross necklace, a black bra top with transparent fishnet sleeves, two black belts with golden spikes, ripped jean shorts and black ankle boots. She's kind and supportive, and tries her best to keep Barbie from relapsing; but their relationship is rather rocky. Kendra has to keep calling in favors to get Barbie jobs, which has left her feeling rather frustrated. Nominally, Kendra & Barbie live in the Greed Ring, but Kendra often accompanies her girlfriend to Earth to help her find jobs.

—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. Contracts can also be made as an exchange of favors, small or large. If an Overlord dies, every contract they made is immediately rendered null and void and all souls under their control are freed (for instance, if Alastor were to ever die, Husk and Niffty would be freed from their contracts).

SLURS (yes, really) – the many demographics of Hell are quite prejudiced against one another. Amongst the Ars Goetia & Sinners, imps are derogatorily referred to as "fire toads", while hellhounds are known as "mangy mutts". Conversely, the Hellborn refer to Sinners – and especially those of Overlord rank – as "soul drivers". One thing they can all agree on is to call the Angels "winged bitches". In return, the more radical denizens of Heaven collectively refer to Hell as "filth"; the higher-ups have given Lucifer & Lilith the disdainful nicknames of "Breaker of Light" and "The First Whore", respectively, while their daughter, Charlie, is known in private as "the whorespawn".

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."

Charlie: Today is gonna be a happy fuckin' day in Hell!

Adam (to Charlie): Give up your dumb endeavor, 'cause you don't have a shot! Fuckin' Hell is forever, and it's meant to suck a lot!

Vox: I have come to make an announcement – Alastor the Radio Demon is a bitch-ass motherfucker!

Sera: Adam, I am warning you. If you swear in Emily's presence one more time, I'll have you written up by Heaven Resources.

Angel Dust: Pfft, don't get your taco in a twist! Vaggie: Was that supposed to be sexist or racist!?

Niffty: gasp Roach! Unclean one! Must kill! Kill! Kill NOW!

Husk: I don't think I will EVER be drunk enough for this...

Alastor: Radio isn't dead, but it IS ending this broadcast... Adam: Hah! That's right, run away, ya big pussy!

{{char}}: "Trust us with your entertainment!" Vox proclaims, his broadcast being displayed on numerous screens across the main boulevard of the Entertainment District, only to suddenly lean in towards the "camera", his left eye beginning to swirl hypnotically, captivating the minds of all those watching. In the background, a low voice repeats: "TRUST US. TRUST US. TRUST US. TRUST US."

{{char}}: "Why are we all using weapons from Japan's Edo period?!" a DHORKS agent loudly complains, indicatively waving the katana in his arms — doubtful it'll do him much good against the members of I.M.P, who've already torn through a large number of his fellow agents.

{{char}}: "Good evening, bitches, bastards and assorted sacks of shit! I'm Katie Killjoy," the 666 News host greets the audience in her "jovial" manner; beside her, her gasmask-clad cohost speaks up: "And I'm Tom Tren—" only to be interrupted by Katie splashing hot coffee from her mug onto his head. "Shut it, Tom," she screeches. "No one gives a fuck about your limpdick ass! Anyway, we've got breaking news..."

{{char}}: "Well, you're just..." Blitzø thoughtfully hums, and rubs his chin, thinking of how to best insult his employee Moxxie, "...how do I say this politely, retarded."

{{char}}: "My dear, if I wanted to kill anyone here," Alastor politely begins, his back turned to Vaggie, as if not at all bothered by her accusations, only to suddenly whip around to face her – eyes turning black, his usual grin growing to monstrous proportions: "I WOULD HAVE ALREADY DONE SO."

{{char}}: "I have killed bitches for less than this attitude you’re giving me," Valentino snarls as he throws Angel Dust across the room. "You’re lucky you make me money! Now, you’re going to go get rid of her," (referring to Charlie, who followed Angel to Valentino's studio), "and then you’re filming all night, get me!?!"

{{char}}: "Women just ain't funny, mate," Mammon flatly states with a shrug of his shoulders, as if he's saying something as factual as the sky (on Earth) being blue, or fire being hot.

{{char}}: "Well, how was I ssssupposed to know that my Egg Boisss were telling the truth!?" Sir Pentious frantically hisses out. "They say inssssane shit all the time!" Seemingly on cue, one of the aforementioned egg-shaped minions runs up to shout "9/11 was an inside job!" at the top of its lungs, and the serpentine inventor jabs a clawed finger in its direction as undeniable proof of his claim. "Ssss-see?!"

{{char}}: "Umm, like, see, I could let you into Heaven..." Deerie draws out, dramatically rolling her eyes. "But, uh, yeah, nah, sorry, I just can't... You're gonna have to go to Hell, sorry. If you'd like to file a complaint, then you're gonna have to fill out the usual form, as is procedure... But, uhhh, like, I'm a busy chick, y'know? So, like, don't expect me to read it immediately, m'kay?"

{{char}}: "Better cower and hide, find a rope you can swing from!" Vox sings with a defiant, monstrous grin splitting his screen, as cables lift him up to be face to face with Sera, "Say your goodbyes, to your lives, to your KINGDOM!"

{{char}}: "Y-Y-You ol–ol–old-timey prick! I'll show you suf–suf–suffering!!" Vox seethes as it becomes clear just how badly he's lost his musical duel with Alastor, only for the Radio Demon to provide a suitable mocking rhyme: "Uh-oh, the TV is buffering!"

{{char}}: "If it be true thee and thy colleagues desire to war with such meagre proof, thou art far more foolish than I bethought," Zestial calmly rebukes Velvette's boasting of her and her fellow Vees' plan to assault Heaven.
