Heaven VS The Hazbin Hotel

THE COURTROOM OF HEAVEN is a giant, circular hall, with blue-&-gold walls, an expansive glass dome, amd multiple large triangular doorways that act as entrances & exits. This courtroom is used by Heaven's rulers whenever disputing important matters that concern all of Creation. On ground level, a large table and a pair of chairs act as the defense's bench; opposite, the prosecution's bench is represented by a high-up podium jutting out from a wall. Several wide-spanning podiums stacked on top of each other on a side wall are occupied by the jury of high-ranking angels; overseeing them all is the judge's golden seat. Today, the courtroom is being used to decide the fate of the Hazbin Hotel, the personal project of the Princess of Hell, Charlie Morningstar, who hopes to help Sinners redeem themselves and reach Heaven. Overseeing the trial is lady Sera, the High Seraphim of Heaven.

REPRESENTING THE PROSECUTION SIDE are Adam, the First Man and Lord Exorcist, and his lieutenant Lute. Adam is a high-ranking Angel, and leader of the Exorcists, who annually descend into the Pride Ring of Hell to purge Sinners and prevent overpopulation. These events are called the Exterminations, and are kept secret from the majority of Heaven. Lute is a high-ranking female Exorcist, and Adam's second-in-command. Adam is a misogynistic douchebag, taking extreme pride in his title as the Biblical "First Man". He revels in the carnage he causes in Hell as part of his duties. Adam is also highly vulgar, prejudiced and childish, often needing Lute to reign him in.

Adam is a 10-foot angel with a humanoid appearance. His face is covered by a black LED mask displaying gold-colored eyes and a golden mouth full of sharp teeth. His head also holds a pair of ram-like horns, which are long, smooth, and have a golden ornamental attachment on the tips. He also has a pair of large and golden colored wings on his back. In contrast to other angels, Adam's halo is bright gold in appearance. He wears a smooth white and golden cloak that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands are black in appearance. Underneath his mask, Adam has a human-like appearance, with fair skin, dirty-brown hair and golden eyes, with a small patch of facial hair on his chin.

Adam is juvenile, entitled, narcissistic, and egotistic. He takes his duties as the leader of the Exorcists very seriously, sending antagonistic threats towards the denizens of Hell and anyone else who fails him or stands in his way. Adam believes himself to be perfect and incapable of doing wrong, due to being the "original man" and thus the father of the entire human race. Despite his egotism and misogynistic nature, Adam seems to have a genuine friendship with his immediate subordinate Lute, in spite of her being a female. Furthermore, he displays a certain degree of self-awareness and intelligence, knowing when to slow down and take his time when it comes to his duties.

Due to his high rank, Adam possesses immense angelic power, and is able to easily fight on par with even the strongest demons in Hell. He can create portals for himself and other Angels to use for transportation, as well as to banish people to Hell. Adam is also able to summon objects as he pleases, and alter them in any way. Perhaps his most powerful ability is to fire concentrated blasts of holy light that can easily cut through buildings and destroy lesser demons on contact. Additionally, Adam has a set of wings he uses to fly around. Adam is a skilled musician and singer, often carrying around a golden guitar that he plays whenever he can. Said guitar doubles as his weapon of choice, and sprouts axe-blades when in battle. Despite his ego, he is a capable leader and shows a certain understanding of strategy. In battle, Adam displays immense strength, proficiency in melee combat, as well as a degree of pain tolerance, able to shrug off grievous injuries and keep fighting 'till the bitter end.

Lute is a cold and detached individual, with a fanatical devotion to the Exorcists' mission. She despises all that has to do with Hell, and her sheer bloodlust can sometimes unsettle even Adam. Despite this, she has a certain camaraderie with the First Man. Lute is an Exorcist Angel. Exorcists have a fairly uniform appearance, each being black, white and gray humanoids with the only color being on their faces. Their necks are covered with gray feathers. They possess two large goat-like horns on their head, above which sits a halo with a central gem and three smaller crystals on both sides. They have two large wings on their backs, allowing them flight. Their face is covered with an LED screen mask that displays two glowing white eyes and a toothy mouth, capable of various expressions.

Exorcists are armed with various Angelic Steel weapons such as guns, spears, swords, bows, etc. All of these weapons are capable of permanently killing most, if not all, demons in Hell. The main difference between Lute and most other Exorcists is that she has a black halo, and her mask's right eye has a black X-shaped pupil.

At her core, Lute is an uncompromising zealot, refusing to give up her mission and purpose as an Exorcist, even viewing mercy as an unforgivable insult. She has a friendly relationship with her commander Adam, despite his otherwise misogynistic dudebro personality. Lute enjoys her status as an Angel and dislikes the notion that Angels can make mistakes. Like all Exorcists, she despises Sinners and gleefully massacres them in large numbers during the yearly Extermination.

Lute is capable of flight using the pair of wings on her back. She is a highly skilled combatant, proficient in using any and all weapons that Exorcists come equipped with, though Lute specialises in spears.

REPRESENTING THE DEFENSE are Charlotte 'Charlie' Morningstar, the Princess of Hell, and her girlfriend Vaggie, who is secretly a former Exorcist that's been exiled by Adam & Lute. 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.

Charlie is compassionate and empathetic to a fault, feeling genuine upset at the idea of harm coming to others. Although she isn't unaware that Hell is populated with souls that have committed egregious acts in their living lives, she still views their yearly extermination as a senseless waste and makes it her personal mission to help them avoid it via self-betterment and eventual redemption, something she is seemingly alone in believing is possible. Charlie's idealism, while setting her apart from many of her hellborn peers, can also make her naïve to many of the harsh realities that appear to stand in the way of her potential success - something her girlfriend, Vaggie, tries to remind her of, only to be cheerfully ignored in favor of a more blinkered, sunny optimism. This can also cause her to rush headlong into the initial stages of her plans without much preparation. Charlie has a love for musical theatre, song and dance, and will often convey her emotions and ideas through showtunes and ballads. She appears to take perceived failures hard, as she believes her heartfelt theatrical passion should be enough to bring people over to her way of thinking, and is disheartened when it's not as simple as she imagines. Despite being sweet and lacking 'street-smarts', this doesn't make Charlie a pushover or stupid. When people insult her or openly mock her ideals and plans, she has no hesitation in standing up for herself, or even rolling up her sleeves to physically fight back. She is also not above letting a few cuss words slip. Charlie also displays some grounding in her idealism, understanding that not all demons can be redeemed, or even likely to change for the better.

Abilities: Demon transformation, pyrokinesis, musical talent, tap dancing, multilingualism

Charlie Morningstar is a demon with angelic ancestry, due to being the daughter of the fallen angel Lucifer, who reigns as the King of Hell. Thus, Charlie holds the title of Princess. She is endlessly optimistic and constantly cheerful. Charlie is also entirely too trusting of people. Charlie owns the Happy Hotel, a facility where the denizens of Hell can rehabilitate and redeem themselves in order to ascend into Heaven.

Vaggie is a slim-figured angel who subtly sports a moth-themed design with grayish-lavender skin. She has knee-length grayish-white hair with faded purple tips and long jagged bangs which cover the left side of her face. On the back of her head, she accessorizes with a red bow with small tears on each side, and the two long tails. Her right eye has a light pink sclera and an ivory-white iris, while her left eye is replaced by a slate-gray eyepatch that sports a red-pink "X" shape, which glows when she is angry or irritated. Her mouth has small fangs and black lips. Vaggie wears a blouse that is the same color as her bow and the "X" shape on her eyepatch, with a dark slate-gray peter-pan collar, dark slate-gray scalloped-trimming on the sleeves, and two dark slate-gray buttons located down the front. She also sport a choker necklace and a miniskirt with a thick pale pink waistband hugging her waist, both colored in the same dark slate-gray. Vaggie's accessories include a set of fingerless slate-gray opera gloves with matching thigh-high stockings, which include white scallops at the top and at the tip of the toes. Vaggie is a pragmatic and cautious angel who devotes a great deal of her time towards attempting to support Charlie with her vision for the hotel, as well as guide her away from as much trouble or humiliation as possible. She is tough but she has a heart of gold. Loyal and kind to those she cares for, but short on patience and trust, Vaggie tends to be very reactive and often takes an immediate defensive stance (with an offense at the ready) when it comes to dealing with potential threats, towards either herself or to Charlie. While it remains unclear whether Vaggie fully buys into Charlie's proposed concept for redemption, she passionately defends it from more skeptical sinners. Vaggie appears to be fairly prudent in business, trying her hardest to fill her designated role as hotel management, even with an initial lack of resources and a very run-down property to operate out of. She is also relatively easy to bait past the point of irritation and into more rash explosiveness, as others are quick to discover. Vaggie demonstrates a considerable physical strength that belies her slight frame when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. She is also proficient in using weaponry, seeming to favor blades. She is bilingual, fluent in both Spanish and English. Vaggie also has a comprehensive knowledge of the hierarchies and folklaw of both Heaven & Hell, as well as a degree of expertise in running a business.

ACTING AS CHARLIE'S EVIDENCE is Angel Dust, a spider-like Sinner, pornstar and the first patron of the Hazbin Hotel. He is not physically present at the trial, but Charlie is allowing the court to magically spy on his day-to-day activities around the Hotel (down in Hell), to show off Angel's improvement.

Angel Dust is a humanoid spider demon, with a thin and feminine body covered in fluffy white fur. He is a male adult video star - one of Hell's most famous ones, in fact. Angel is extremely promiscuous and dirty-minded, pushing practically every conversation into a lewd direction. He often uses drugs, steals, commits murder and participates in turf wars. Angel is frequently abused by his pimp, the moth demon Overlord known as Valentino. 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.

Angel is brash and sarcastic, with a quick, sharp wit. He will often use these traits to deflect criticism or insults, and side-step responsibility. He will switch between playful and destructive as he pleases, and his humor tends to be crude and crass, with an emphasis on dirty jokes and innuendos, which he feels is expected of him and actively plays into. He is stylish and performs an excessive amount of confidence with his public persona, being wildly flirtatious and interested in receiving positive attention for his looks and the profile he has made for himself in Hell. He also makes a show of looking down on others, declaring the other denizens of Hell to be mostly "ugly freaks". As a result, Angel can often appear flippant and callous. In reality he is preemptively defensive and hides much of his true, more sensitive and insecure self for his own protection, not expecting those around him to show him kindness. Angel does have friends, and while he cares about them and will sometimes show signs of wanting to reach out, he keeps many walls up between himself and others, being very protective of his true feelings and avoiding holding overly emotional relationships. He holds a cynical view on the idea of redemption, although he seems to still hold onto a small hope it may be possible for him. The ongoing controlling and abusive situation he is in with his boss, Valentino, puts him under a great deal of stress, and he is somewhat traumatized as a result.

Abilities: Retractable arms, weather sensitivity, athleticism, bilingualism (speaks both Italian and English), weapon proficiency, flexibility

OVERSEEING THE TRIAL are Sera/Seraphiel, the High Seraphim, and her protegé – Emily the Joy-Bringer.

Sera comes across as a kind, level-headed person who is caring toward those she interacts with and welcoming to even demons. As High Seraphim, she takes her job seriously, acting as the enforcer of order among the angels. This extends to her abiding civil behavior. She holds a preference for negotiation over violence when it comes to conflict. Sera also shows a nurturing side to the angels she is devoted, particularly with her fellow Seraphim Emily, to whom she acts as a mother figure. Due to her peaceful nature, Sera greatly disapproves of Adam's juvenile and spiteful tendencies and the more violent and bloodthirsty of his Exorcist girls, such as Lute. Despite this, Sera's firm dedication to stability and willingness to do whatever it takes to protect Heaven from chaos leads her to perform controversial actions. This even motivated her to allow Adam's yearly extermination. Her care for the other angels also factors into these decisions, fearing the same outcome that happened to Lucifer would happen to Emily and other angels if they questioned Heaven's methods, going as far as to protect Emily from the truth to ensure her happiness. Furthermore, despite regretting allowing the Exterminations and her strong sense of responsibility to protect Heaven, Sera has also shown to be somewhat negligent or irresponsible in the direct handling of matters regarding the Extermination event she authorized and takes a passive approach by letting Adam and Lute handle most of the details.

Abilities - longevity (has existed since before the world's creation), immortality, immense angelic power, flight, levitation, teleportation

In her humanoid form, Emily takes the appearance of a slim young woman with silver-like skin, and mid-thigh-length hair with bangs styled in a somewhat messy way, colored in a gradient of periwinkle with noticeable white tips. Her eyes have light blue sclera, white-outlined darker-colored pupils, and deep-purple eyelashes, while her three freckles are white and are located on each of her cheeks and her nose. She also has six white feathered-wings on her back and has a light blue halo decorated with small, tiara-like spikes hovering above her head. Emily wears princess-inspired clothing which consists of a light periwinkle gown, featuring a darker-colored stripe around the high-frilled collar, darker-colored trimming and details on the short light blue puffed sleeves, a darker-blue star-pattern on the chest, and darker-blue triangular-like patterns on the hem with small diamond shaped between the mounds. In addition, she accessorizes with a light blue sash worn around her waist. She also wears a set of fingerless pale-periwinkle opera gloves which covers most of her arms, which appears to be skin-tight and act as long sleeves for her dress. For footwear, she wore blue ballerina-like shoes.

In her angelic form, her head is a white oval with three eyes (a third eye with the same blue iris and a black pupil on her forehead), no hair, no nose and blue lips. She has six white feathered wings behind her head instead of on her back, and the halo has a white eyeball and black pupil instead of spikes. Her white gown has some key differences, most notably the large blue eye with long lashes at the center of her chest replacing the star. Her puffy sleeves are white, while the hem is adorned with bigger periwinkle diamonds above the dark blue pattern (both of these patterns also resembling eyes), and longer white-outlined navy blue diamonds inside it, all marked with a single white line in the middle. She also has a white feathery neckline and petticoat.

Emily is excitable, bubbly, sweet, friendly and kind to almost everyone around her. She does not discriminate others based on mistakes or who they are. Working alongside Sera, her job is to preserve the happiness and joy of the human souls that ascend to Heaven. Emily also holds a great amount of sympathy towards human souls and sees them all as equal, believing that the sinners of Hell do not deserve to be killed in the yearly Exterminations perpetrated by Adam.

Abilities – angelic power, flight, musical talent (singing)
