I am going crazed, insane, wild, animalistic.

VALDEMAR COULD GET A SURPRISE. VOLTA MIGHT GET A SURPRISE. VULGORA WILL MAYBE GET A SURPRISE.

How do you think the courtiers would react to an MC who they’ve known for ages, like they grew up together and married young so they know almost everything about each other?

MC has known them before the devil came into the photo and they are very understanding of the courtiers more ‘questionable’ habits, hobbies and personalities.

(Sorry for the long ask but I saw a similar ask and thought it was intriguing, you don’t have to do vasimol if you don’t want too idm xxx)

The Arcana Courtier HC's #1

For this I'm just gonig with the assumption that the MC doesn't have a demon form or any implications to their immortality.

Valdemar

Don't ask me what you saw in them but let me just say they weren't as creepy as they are now. Maybe that's what drew you to them & caused your marriage to them.

You always knew that your partner had a taste for the more medical & somewhat morbid so you decided that you'd help them by using there skills to make a profit.

You were unsurprised that they eventually made a deal with the Devil, it made sense since they were hunugry to figure out all sorts of diseases.

When you reach Vesuvia after they get hired, you have to keep them & their experiments in check and make sure the doctors working under them don't see anything they shouldn't.

You both ended up in the realm of the Arcana after the Devil was defeated, but were contempt.

Valerius

You two knew from a young age that you were in an arraged marriage, but that just made everything more convientient, cause you fell hard for this beatiful drunkard.

You both were happy that he got the job of Consul but you knew the moment Nadia went asleep that he was aiming higher than expected.

Politics was a tricky game, so knowing that Val is a bit of a selfish prick, you made sure that he & the other courtiers didn't completely fuck up Vesuvia.

He did consult you on his upcoming business venture with the Devil, you did warm him about the consequences but supproted him even if you were opposed.

When he was released from the Devil's magic, you've never been more relieved and happy but before you could admit any of that you did give him a scolding.

Vlastomil

Somehow, centuries ago, you managed to snag the man's attention away from worms and marry him. Despite his love of worms, he has a deeper love for you.

Although he was a reknowned wormoligist, you were the one making sure that you had the coin to continue a life of some luxury. You were both happy either way.

You were sceptic when he told you about making a deal with the Devil. You supported him regardless, since it ment you no longer had to worry about other things anymore.

When the M7 saved the day and beat the Devil, he returned to his human form you were happy, since it ment the worm problem would die down.

Volta

Despite the fact that you were both poverty stricken and starved, you both managed to find some light in the darkness with each other and eloped.

The deal with the Devil was a double edged sword, you both got immortality and power but at the cost of Volta never being satisfied, but it got you both out of your terrible situation.

When you both reached Vesuvia, you actually convinved her to take thr job of sniffing out the foods for the plagye, this landed in her getting hired & you living a relatively good lifestyle.

When she was finallly released from the Devil's magic, you two finally enjoyed your dream wedding without any interuptions.

Vulgura

You must be either just as bad if not more war hungry than this crabby gremlin, or had some form of bloodlust in you that they admired enough to marry you let alone befriend. You two were like Ares & Aphrodite except human, and not causing any wars.

It was, honestly, a matter of time before your spouse decided to make a deal with the Devil. You were surprised that it did not happend sooner.

When you reached Vesuvia, you managed to convince Lucio & Nadia to hire your spouse as Ponifex.

As soon as the Devil was defeated you had to deal with a sad Vulgora since the violence has absolved whch was gine since they finally calmed the fuck down.

Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday & Marry Christmas. Enjoy your holidays.

The Arcana's Demons and Gender (mostly focused on the Courtiers)

A/N: Friendly heads-up that this is not meant to discredit or invalidate anyone's gender identity - If it comes across as such, I am very sorry!

These are just the musings of a dozen brainrot-ridden magpies in a trench coat who get a quite frankly offending amount of serotonin bashed into their tiny brains by just looking at a porta potty.

Are we good? Cool.

You may continue now.

Figuring out for how long any of the Courtiers have been demons or what their strength levels are can be difficult at best, highly confusing at worst - But that's my personal opinion after having had a superficial glance at this can of... literal... worms. Sometimes I feel like some of the vague information we get fed about the Courtiers while playing slightly differs depending on the route. From Nadia mentioning that the Vlastomil she met first was different to the one today to Vlastomil himself saying that he has been roaming the living realms far longer than even our grandparents (I believe?) can remember.

But I believe it is still possible to at least make a somewhat accurate ranking of all the Courtiers from most to least powerful (Since the amount of deals they have made with the Devil coincides with how powerful they are, it's only logical that the oldest demons are also the more powerful ones... Since they simply had more time to make deals with the Devil than the others).

So my ranking of the Courtiers from most to least powerful is as follows:

- Valdemar (they/them)

- Vulgora (they/them)

- Vlastomil (he/him)

- Volta (she/her)

I am about to go on a little tangent, but we'll come back to my ranking later.

(The next part will exclude Lucio and Valerius, who have made deals with the Devil but don't really count as demons as far I am concerned, but will include Tasya.)

Something that strikes me as very intriguing are the Courtiers designs. I believe those are another way of roughly knowing for how long each one has been a demon. Especially when looking at the time the MC broke Volta and Vlastomil's chains and they turned back into humans.

Valdemar and Vulgora look... Ageless in their human forms. I couldn't tell if they are in their mid-twenties or mid-fourties to be honest. Or somewhere completely different on the age scale.

Meanwhile both Vlastomil and Volta showed visible changes in their human form character sprites when the MC turned them back. Especially Vlastomil, who went from looking uncanny valley human with his skin tone and ears to actually looking human again. Volta on the other hand only lost her head accessory as well as her ruffled collar, I believe. I assume that the longer you are a demon, the more your human form will lose recognizable aspects of mortality and humanity until you look like Vulgora or Valdemar - An ageless figure, that always seems slightly off and disturbing to the observer, even though they might not be able to exactly pinpoint why.

Tasya is another great example of that - She wasn't a demon for long and I didn't notice any changes in her human form sprite when she turned back into a human.

It is however interesting to me that both of the oldest demons, Valdemar and Vulgora, go by they/them. That might just be a coincidence, but let's assume that it is not for a second.

Both of the strongest demons identify as non-binary (I am in no way implying that demons can't identify as within the binary!), posing the question if the transition from mortal human to immortal demon may have played a role in their chosen pronouns.

For a person born a human, now slowly changing their human appearance, gaining new powers and being slowly reduced to a stereotype/one single character trait; these changes could very well be cause for someone to change their gender. I'm not saying that this happened to Valdemar or Vulgora, but I am also not implying that Vlastomil and Volta identify as in the binary either just because they go by he/him and she/her respectively.

I am very sure if he had to pick, Vlastomil would identify more as a worm connoisseur than a man. And Volta... Volta's gender is hungry and that's completely valid.

Would Tasya, Valerius or Lucio at some point have changed their pronouns? We shall never know.

All I am saying is that while certainly not mandatory or forced, I think the process of becoming a demon could very likely influence someone to identify outside of the binary.

MC vs The Courtiers in a physical / general fight

{ Warning: Possible spoilers, possible mischaracterization }

Headcanon List

Context:

You, MC, want nothing more to duel against the courtiers because it either piqued your curiosity, want to fight them out of justice or pure recklessness.

Quaestor Valdemar:

• You are not making it.

• I apologize but you are duelling against a quaestor who has tentacles and a form one can comprehend with sight alone.

• I suppose you would win if in the context of being through one of the routes and gaining the power and confidence that had beaten the Devil.

• They probably had accepted the duel out of curiosity of the outcome and how you would fight them.

• Might kill you if not stopped.

Pontifex Vulgora:

• Instantly agrees.

• Loves to battle and to fight so considering the fact you asked makes them ecstatic.

• Very violent, very aggressive and quite the opponent.

• Same with Valdemar, you could possibly win if gone through a route.

• Screaming about how they want your blood and how they shall crush your bones into a fine powder.

• Would kill you if not stopped by anyone.

Praetor Vlastomil:

• Not one prone to fight when asked.

• He is more keen on not touching your disgusting human body with his hands via a duel.

• If you however, do convince him to fight, maybe via threatening his worm collection, he will rise up to duel you, who had the audacity to do so.

• You could perhaps kill him.

• If you tell him that his worm collection will be fine, he will stop his wrath and show more relief over the slimy creatures then and then glare at you with disdain.

Procurator Volta:

• Easily intimidated.

• It would be quite hard to pick a fight against her considering she is one to actively avoid fights.

• The only time she wants to fight is with food.

• And oh, what is that? Is that a nice crab puff?

• Suddenly she is very irritated against you.

• Such a surprise!

• The best she could do is flail and yell at you but considering her eyes are only focused on the delectable item within you hands, she might hit you.

Consul Valerius:

• Why are you bothering him? And why do you want to waste his precious time?

• Does not care about fighting you, honestly, he sees no point in it.

• What are you doing to that wine bottle?

• No, put it down.

• What do you mean you will not comply?

• Now, see, look at the perfectly good wine bottle that had shatter on the floor. Are you mad?!

• Would probably slap you, crush his wine glass in the process and scold you.

Volta: "Why do your pants have so many pockets?"

Leigh: "These are cargo pants. They have more pockets so I can carry more stuff with me at once."

Volta: *gasps*
