Souly Damned Saturday

🌼Good morning everyone! Today is the start of the first Souly Damned Saturdays! In essence Saturdays will be dedicated to my original IP, Souly Damned. It will be a day where I post information about the world, its character, and much more! The askbox is open all day today for SD content but if you have questions after today feel free to send them in! I am so excited to start this off because as much as I love fan work my real dream is to have my own original content. So let’s get started! This beautiful chibi of Val was done by @little-noko 💙

What is Souly Damned?

Souly Damned is my original IP and is generally the over arching name for the world in which I have created. If you enjoy my UT AU world building content then you will enjoy this. The Souly Damned world centers around the supernatural and the realms that lie within. While most stories and worlds focus on the heroes and angelic beings that have a call of righteousness, Souly Damned focuses instead on those of the Fallen.

The main focus is the Princes of Hell and their relationships to one another, how Hell is run, as well as the trials and tribulations of dealing with a sense of duality. Most media tend to paint the Seven Deadly Sins as simple background characters or “big bads” but my boys are the main focus. Of course there are other stories within the SD universe but we will get to that a little later.

Who are the characters?

There are quite a few including side characters but there are 12 Princes in total with 2 half brothers. The universe is run by what we consider to be the 3 fates, past, present, and future. These beings maintain a balance in the world however despite their Celestial lineage their dynamics shift dramatically. The three consider themselves brothers yet they have no physical blood relation they were just the first three beings in existence. In order there is:

Darrius - the fate of the past Sidriel - the fate of the present Kalthiel - the fate of the future

In this world the words used to describe beings are not accurate. As an example mortals would call Sidriel an angel but that is not the true term. They are referred to as Celestials. The same is said between demons and Infernals. Darrius has 12 sons each representing the 7 virtues but things begin to go wrong when Darrius tries to intervene more and more with mortal life. As he does the mortals begin to praise him and worship him and that adulation begins to corrupt him.

Believing himself to be a god he tries to take control over both the mortal realm as well as their Celestial one. A war begins with some of his more loyal sons at his side. The war causes two events to take place. The first is that Darrius and his sons are stricken from their Celestial status and tossed down to the mortal Realm where they are forced to confront their now corrupted forms. Some of them try to fight what is happening to them but most begin to break quickly or even embrace their punishment. This is when the 12 Princes are born as they rule the mortal realms, dividing them into 7 separate and distinct kingdoms. The second event is the closing of the once open Celestial Realm where Sidriel becomes ruler.

Are some of your AU boys in this?

To be perfectly frank, yes but not in their AU form. In essence they are characters that have nothing to do with UT that were created for UT AU projects. I love them dearly and I see no need to part from their designs or their personalities just because I have them in “other content”. So yes you may see some names or designs that will cross over but these are all my personal designs.

So skeletons?

Yes, but only those of corrupted Celestial blood have this appearance. I always cannoned that these powerful Fallens would have characteristics of humanity but also be stripped of it. What better way to do that than make them skeletal in appearance? Despite my UT roots this is a decision I made long before it existed so I am not going to change it. There are plenty of other skeletal characters out there.

Who are the boys?

That is a lot to unpack so I will start easy and just post their names and their associated sin. Keep in mind that because of their power their real names have significance. It is why they have alias names that they go by. So you will see 2 names for each. The first is their Alias and how I tend to refer to them and the second is their true name. Some of the boys don’t even use an alias because the human who even dared speak it would suffer severe consequences. Not all of them are amenable to being summoned. This is also in order of age.

Nasaros --> Ruler of the Infernal Realm (he embodies all of the sins) Costello/ Saketh --> Prince of Lust Carthus / Darkinol --> Prince of Pride Sanneth / Kelran --> Prince of Envy Beast; Cuban; Valentine/ Valruth --> Prince of Lust Dusk / Dantillion --> Prince of Pride The Boss; Luciano / Sokan --> Prince of Wrath Grimm; Rus / Cerberus --> Prince of Greed Gin / Dozzenath --> Prince of Sloth Crimson / Arnaun --> Prince of Greed Arzin / Zorrol --> Prince of Wrath Ouro/ Ouroboros --> Prince of Gluttony Noir and Blanc --> The rulers of limbo (half brothers)

-------------------------- Ok I know this is not a whole bunch but trust me I have so much to share for this info. I really need questions so that I can tailor what info to release so if you want to know more please send an ask my way! Comments work as well! This is literally not even scratching the surface. Hope you all join me in my excitement for this content!

Good Evening everyone

1]Continuing with SWM × Persona series:

Cal

Death

Hierophant

Fortune

(maybe i read only a handful of random episodes to get hearts)

Malakai

Temperance (no pun intended,that he is the gluttony assassin)

Hanged Man

Hermit

(maybe i read only a handful of random episodes to get hearts)

Darrius

Devil

Strenght

Hope (Visconti-Sforza tarot deck, P5R only)

{maybe, since i read only a handful of random episodes to get hearts}

Onyx

Sun

Moon

Faith{Visconti-Sforza tarot deck, P5R only}

(maybe, since i read only a handful of random episodes to get hearts)

Nahara

Priestess

Fortune

Hierophant

(maybe, since i read only a handful of random episodes to get hearts)

Vinca

(#We need her route asap)

Moon

Death

Chariot

2]For what i've found around the Web,it seems that Cecelia final season suffered of what i nicknamed 'Games of Throne Syndrome":rushed ending that nearly destroyed a good story(ok i get that for what i know the need to finish a story so they can have more time to write but we lovestruck fans we're no hurry,we can wait months or years wich happened for Cal from SWM if i remember well,so the various stories gets their proper endings.

3] Can someone draw the Sin With Me characters Persona styles like this:

and they respective arcana and persona.

PS:

1]Between Cdprojekt Red,EA and if the news tha former writer of Xenia of RP its true.....it really disheartened,Everyone please let yourselves to be heared,this is unacceptable,i understood the need

to earn money to run your activities but not at the cost of the well-being and health of your employees after all it's thanks to them if your activities go on and allowed the creation of that are true forms of art:video games, films, arts itself and much more.

2]...and Yes i'm still upset about Yvette S3 ending,Vuzgamad even sealed up.......You! Still! Ruin! Everything! For! Them! Come on girls, your bond is your strength you'll overcome this as you did in previous seasons!!! This time both of you will grapple down the demoness of fear

And throw her into the JD home(you know what I mean]

3]And regarding Yvette and Wrath Arcana:

Yvette arcana is the Lovers and is so very true!!!

Since Yvette and MC always are at a crossroad and needing to make a decision and their struggles,hesitations and decisions between the "right" way and the "easy" way, plus they're lovers and a couple.

...You sense this is an important moment. There's no turning back.

😉

About Wrath i'll see the Emperor Arcana when i'll do her route,but i can see her as both the Leader and the Team Dad.

For Cal, maybe Fortune? I guess Death would also fit, but what stuck out to me the most in Cal's route was destiny and change. The whole prophesy thingy, for the most part.

For Malakai, Hanged Man fits. Self-sacrifice occurs a lot in his route, especially in later seasons.

For Darius, Devil, for sure. Lust is in his core lol

For Onyx, the Moon fits well. I got a sense that Onyx experienced loneliness not in the literal sense, but in the emotional one, having put up a front (an illusion) that everything was okay.

Nahara, Fortune. Her route deals with destiny and changes a lot, too.

Vinca, Death, yeah. It fits xd

And Cecilia...! She had such a good S1, I spent hearts without even noticing because it was impossible not to. Yeah, her ending was rushed, and it wasn't even graced with a good plot. It was covered in holes. But oh well... - Mod Jessa

Racism.

This word is enough to cause turmoil at a place of peace, and with the situation of the current world, it exists everywhere, like literally EVERYWHERE! In sports, social media, fashion world, Trayvon Martin, Yvette Smith, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Laquan McDonald, Tanisha Anderson, Akai Gurley, Tamir Rice, Jerame Reid, Natasha McKenna, Eric Harris, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray, William Chapman, Sandra Bland, Darrius Stewart, Samuel DuBose, Janet Wilson, Calin Roquemore, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Joseph Mann, Terence Crutcher, Chad Robertson, Jordan Edwards, Aaron Bailey, Stephon Clark, Danny Ray Thomas, Antwon Rose, Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, Michael Dean, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and add to these names a 16 year old Makhia Bryant. These are just some names who have, well sacrificed themselves for a long-waited justice, which in majority cases never comes. Let me ask you all a question now, ‘What was their fault’? Its another one which can be added to the long list of questions that are still unanswered.

Let me answer this for you, their fault is that they thought the people that they were living around are as nice and sweet, as they themselves were. Well, there’s this old saying that, “It’s darkest before the dawn”, but sometimes there is just darkness. Believe me when I say it, that darkness is Racism. That stillness when you feel like time and almost everything has stopped around you and you find yourself helpless knowing that the people you trusted have turned there back on you. These people who died, it wasn’t any of their fault they were just way too nice to be a part of this, cruel and ‘eat you alive’ world. They are only the ones who suffered this fate through the law reinforcers around them. If you talk about victims of racism in other fields, they all separately have a very long list to show for it.

Since we are talking about it, let me mention about a new kind of racism that has emerged outta nowhere, “ASIAN HATE”. This kind is a bit dangerous, because this one is not just about colour. It’s about caste, it’s about religion, it’s about ethnicity and it’s probably about everything that makes you asian. Like for example, at this very point of time , every asian who is present in any corner of this world is responsible for spreading the coronavirus, like as if its in our genes. Every ‘brown’ person in this world, and yeah by brown I mean asian, is deemed to be coming from a family that has probably has a lineage of people who never deserved to be part of this world in someway or another. Like WHY?

I’d hope you give me an answer about it, but before I end, I just want to say that we are all the same. It does not matter what our caste, colour, creed, religion, ethnicity or continental roots are, at the end of the day we are all the same. We all have two eyes, a nose, two ears, a pair of lips, two arms, two legs and a healthy body given to us by one almighty. So be THANKFUL and yes:

STOP HATRED, STOP ASIAN HATE, STOP RACISM

post aven

Trigger warning for PTSD, eating disorders, mentions of violence/hate crimes. Beware a level of spoilers in this.

For a long time, it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

It’s nothing close to easy for Alex. Between the mental and psychological repercussions of her ordeal with Aven, and actually what’s going on around her in Medora, she simply can’t connect herself with the person she used to be.

In terms of her PTSD, it’s rough. Between the chronic anxiety, survivor’s guilt, frequent panic attacks and nightmares, she loses weight and finds herself with no energy at all. It takes a while for her to be persuaded to actually receive professional help, mostly thanks to D.C. and Kaiden, and be officially diagnosed with her disorders that are all the result of her involvement with Aven.

Outside of Alex’s mental health, Medora as a nation is suffering. Thanks to the mass destruction and high death toll, the population is severely crippled. Food shortages, minor economic failings and large amounts of refuges suddenly become common updates in the everyday news channels.

Between the loss of student lives and how much of the grounds were damaged, Darrius Marselle makes the decision to close Akarnae Academy for two years. During this period, a lot of senior students pitch in to help restore the campus and facilities, including Alex and her circle of friendships.

Hate crimes happen every couple of weeks, fleeting and horrific. Some ex Aven supporters succeed in an assassination attempt against Rachel and Jack Jennings. This prompts Alex’s mental health to crash all over again following their untimely deaths.

She barely manages to pull through this time round, and for a period of time is both uncharacteristically and unhealthily dependent on Kaiden.

With their faith in the Medoran Crown becoming less and less apparent, a lot of Medorans begin to turn away from the idea of monarchy and more towards the concept of being a democracy. (D.C. is in secret support of this, still not at all wanting to be Queen.)

The draekons do return, which is probably the only good thing that happens for a while. One day, when she’s mentally prepared for it, Alex establishes a career around them.

Lighthearted teenage romance is suddenly thrown out of the window. Jordan and D.C. eventually break up, and Alex and Kaiden have some pretty rocky periods. With all that’s going on around them, Bear and Declan don’t even admit their feelings for one another until they’re both well past graduation.

Medora finally begins to settle down again when the Crown is abdicated and a Republic established, a new President elected.

A lot of people don’t get their perfect happy ending, but the healing of their world is enough for many.

“Brothers’, sister! Your attention to me.” Darrius stood on a high stage as he looked down upon his followers. “Now, I bring you no great joy in telling you this…yet, I have found another snake within our ranks.” Everyone gasped with shock, a few whispering amongst themselves trying to figure out what was going on, and how could someone else look to destroy what they were trying to achieve.

“Do not be afraid everyone. For our snake has already been captured. Yet what comes next, may shock you the most.” And with the snap of his fingers, a chain began to lower down, a red sheet covering whatever was underneath it. “My brothers and sisters…here stands our snake!” Darrius then removed the red sheet covering the cage. Inside was a bound and chained Havik, mouth covered to silence them. Members began looking around questioning one another, others in complete shock as to what had just been revealed to them. “Now, as you all know, all traitors must be made an example out of…and this, this is no exception.” With another snap of his fingers, Darrius's new right-hand man came forward with a large contained, filled to the top with acid from the dead pool.

“I want you all to remember this, for our snake here is no bringer of chaos, they are no leader for our revolution. They are simply a poor man, riding our coattails to make their image better than what it once was. Isn’t that right…Dairou?” Darrius then looked at the man one last time, before giving his signal. “Lower him in.” Darrius knew one thing, Dairou would not die so easily, his powers of regeneration could simply keep him alive no matter what. Yet with this acid…his body would simply continue to melt, and burn forever. One way or another, his body would either give out…or he would end his own suffering.

His screams began to increase in volume as his body began sinking deeper and deeper into the contained, a lid being placed on the top of it, as a way of preventing escape. Members watched on in disbelief and horror as the man's body began to burn, flesh melting away, and a red crimson saturating the green acid. “Let this be a lesson to everyone, no one is stronger than the revolution. They may try and end us all, but they will not stop the change we shall bring.”

Atlanta Season 3 Release Date Officially Set

Atlanta Season 3 Release Date Officially Set Atlanta season 3's release date is officially set for March 2022, bringing the celebrated comedy series back after a four-year hiatus. Created by Donald Glover, the FX dramedy centers on college dropout Earnest "Earn" Marks as he seeks to turn his life around upon learning of his cousin Alfred "Paper Boi" Miles making a rise through the underground rap scene in the titular Georgia capital. Atlanta also explores the lives of Earn's on-again-off-again girlfriend/baby mama Van & Paper Boi's eccentric right-hand man Darrius.

Donald Glover Leading Atlanta To Success

In addition to primarily writing and occasionally directing the series. Glover leads the cast of Atlanta alongside Zazie Beetz as Van, Brian Tyree Henry as Paper Boi and Lakeith Stanfield as Darrius. Having first premiered in 2016. The series has been a critical darling; scoring rave reviews for its unique storytelling, rich characters & Glover and Hiro Murai's direction. Glover would even go on to become the first African-American director to bring home the Primetime Emmy award; for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series with Atlanta season 1 and three Emmy wins for season 2. FX & audiences are hungry for more as the network went on to renew Atlanta for seasons 3 & 4. After a prolonged development, audiences have exciting news.

Nearly two months after unveiling the first teaser for the new chapter. The official Atlanta Twitter account, revealed that season 3 has been set to premiere on March 24. The new premiere date comes after the show went on a four-year hiatus.

Development on Atlanta season 3 has seen a much rockier path than that of its predecessors; with filming suffering multiple delays. First from scheduling conflicts in Glover's increasingly busy schedule with his Childish Gambino tours & roles in Solo: A Star Wars Story and The Lion King. Despite this delay, FX still went on to renew the show for season 4 with plans to film back-to-back. Postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and would finally kick off in early 2021 in Europe. With filming on season 3, having wrapped this past August, the timing certainly lines up for Atlanta to return in its March 2022 release date. With Atlanta season 3 officially coming after a four-year hiatus. It will be interesting to see whether the wait results in a large viewership boost for FX; or see it struggle to recapture the same level of popularity. The cable network hasn't seen huge ratings in the past few years, though the first two seasons of Atlanta proved to be a major hit alongside FX's long-running titles; It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and American Horror Story. Only time will tell how the new season performs when Atlanta season 3 premieres on FX and Hulu on March 24.

Available for streaming on Hulu.

The 10-episode third season marks the first time Atlanta will be available for in-season streaming on Hulu. The first two seasons, which aired before FX became part of Disney & before Disney took control of Hulu; but it can still be streamed on Hulu “We are thrilled to have Atlanta back with a new season on March 24th,” said Eric Schrier, President, FX Entertainment. “Once again, Donald Glover, the producers & the stellar cast have delivered another signature season; synonymous with the excellence that makes Atlanta so great.” Taking place almost entirely in Europe, Season 3 finds Earn (Donald Glover), Alfred /Paper Boi’ (Brian Tyree Henry), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield) and Van (Zazie Beetz) in the midst of a successful European tour, as the group navigates their new surroundings as outsiders, and struggle to adjust to the newfound success they had aspired to.

Produced by FX Productions, & executively produced by Donald Glover, Stephen Glover, Hiro Murai, Stefani Robinson, Paul Simms and Dianne McGunigle.

Season 3, originally ordered in June 2018, was postponed to accommodate Donald Glover’s busy feature schedule. Filming then further delayed by the pandemic as production shut down in March 2020. Glover & Co. then proceeded to shoot Seasons 3 and Season 4 back-to-back. Season 3, filmed primarily in Europe; finished filming this past summer when production on Season 4 started in Atlanta. “All the scripts for that season have been written; & I absolutely adore the scripts for both seasons,” FX Chairman John Landgraf said in August. In its most recent season in 2018, the 14 Emmy nominations for Atlanta’s second season were the most of any comedy series. Through its first two seasons, Atlanta has won five Emmy Awards as well as two Golden Globe Awards, two AFI Awards, Peabody, PGA, WGA, TCA, NAACP and Critics’ Choice Awards. Read the full article

Malik. Darrius LITERALLY said he wants to burn the planet to ground. Aditya controlling the story is wrong, but it would be way worse if Darrius took control. He'd destroy the world and slaughter innocent people just to make Aditya suffer. Would you be able to live with yourself with that kind of blood on your hands?

He was just angry.. he didnt mean it..

Souly Damned Saturdays!~

🌼Hello everyone! I am excited to share the next SD Saturday! Today is going to be how the Infernal Realm is set up and a profile on one of my favorite boys, Val. This is going to be a huge one! Let’s get into it! If you have any questions please ask away! There is so much to this world and it’s characters that I don’t want to overwhelm people. *again stunning chibi of my boy Val by @little-noko >////< I love it so much*

~Prince Profile:~

True Name: Valruth Alias Names: Valentine (Val) Nicknames/Titles: The Bloodstained Beast Soul Flower Type: Rose in half bloom Color Type: Ruby with burnt petals Infernal Hierarchy: 2nd Prince of Lust Age Order: 5th Oldest Familiar Form: White Maine Coon/ (Hellcat) True Form Appearance Description: ~Skeletal in appearance ~Prominent fangs (spiked teeth in true form) ~Ruby pointed tongue ~Black horns that are reminiscent of the stereotypical devil ~Skeletal claws ~Clawed feet ~Spaded bone tail with charcoal gradient ~Golden Fang ~Bone damage (cuts) on forearm, ribs, spine, shoulder blade ~Bone and black feather wings (mix)

Human Form Physical description: ~Hair color: White/ cool platinum ~Hair style: slicked back (before modern and reminiscent of the 1920′s) ~Eye color: Ruby/ reddish brown ~Skin tone: Pale ~Contract symbol mark placement: his left shoulder blade ~Height: 5′9

Special Abilities or Powers:

~Mind reading ~Can pull out deepest desire ~Dream walking ~Mental suggestion ~Levitation ~Teleportation ~Fire element ~Veritas (forces those under his influence to tell the truth) ~Lust touch ~Blood vitality/ power ~Servitude ~Calming/ paralysis touch

(more below the cut!)

~SD Q AND A (These are all questions from you! Specifically those in my server):~

1. What is vals usual duties as a prince of hell? Does he have hobbies he enjoys doing? Does he even like humans if so what does he like about them? 🔥Val has less duties as Costello because even though he is a prince he is not the head of that Kingdom. Though to be fair Costello doesn't really mind doing the work it keeps his mind occupied. Mainly it's Val's job to deal with Coven direction/communication. I mean he has hobbies but uh... those are not appropriate to mention. Remember Val's cardinal sin is lust X'D He does enjoy music so he will spend time learning different musical styles or instruments. All in all he is pretty laid back and enjoys a good time. He’s a party boy, but he will be serious if needed. Costello's position allows Val to be kind of a hedonist. His other job is based in contracts. Most Princes don't directly deal with humans unless circumstances allow due to their past history. It's his job to essentially make sure that quotas are being met. Let's just say he prefers the Mortal Realm because he loves messing with mortals.

2. Does Val prefer like manipulating people or playing pranks more? 🔥 He enjoys manipulating people.

3. How does it feel for Val to take another's life? What did it feel like the first time?

🔥 When he first Fell he struggled with the duality of his Clelestial/Infernal blood. It's the concept of the first life he took was hard on him but the moment he looks at the blood he essentially breaks. After that he gains the nickname of Beast because he revels in the kills. Eventually, he earns the "title" of the Bloodstained Beast which is where Beast comes from.

4. Is Val overall sure of himself or does he struggle with loads of insecurities?

🔥He is sure of himself outwardly but alone not so much. Like I said before the majority of the brothers struggle with what they used to be and what they have become. His father's influence pushed his mind to justify the horrible things he has done. When Darrius is locked away the brothers have to come to terms with the monsters they have become.

5. Does Val ever suffer from depression?

🔥I wouldn't call it depression. It is not that severe. It is more like self doubt or regret.

6. What does it mean to be "alive" for Val?

🔥Unlike Infernals born in that realm, the brothers still have their Celestial souls but they are badly corrupted. Being alive for him is feeling the emotions that he used to when he was a Celestial. Think of their corruption as losing a sense of self. Most think that his "highs" come from drinking, pleasure, and the usual sinful fair but that’s not entirely true.

7. Does Val struggle with who he is?

🔥It depends on what part of the timeline. In the beginning he struggles a lot until he snaps but then doesn't care at all as if his original soul has gone numb. Over the centuries he does begin to mellow out and eventually when he meets Eve he changes his tune. Even before their meeting he is far more self conscious.

8. Do Val’s emotions of himself ever reflect on others or does he keep them tightly wound?

🔥He keeps his emotions tightly wound unless he is with someone he trusts and by god is it hard to gain any of these boys trust. They were betrayed by their father and their other family... so they have major abandonment and trust issues.

9. Has there ever been a time where Val considered "love" over "lust"?

🔥Yes! In fact that is what he used to be. He was a Celestial of love and affection. It is one of the reasons that I made his alias name Valentine. Eve is the love of his life and he treats her as such.

10. If the brothers get their hands on souls what do they do with them? Will each prince treat souls differently from one another?

🔥Soul wise they can consume souls for their power, which they are already ungodly powerful already. The only caveat to that is that it corrupts their souls further. Sometimes those souls end up tormenting them for a while before they fade away. Each one has a different effect depending on the soul itself not so much the one who consumes it.

11. What happens to changelings that die? Do they become infernal beasts/imps? or does something else happen?

🔥They essentially meet a permanent end, however, I should mention that they kind of get recycled in a way? Think of it as giving the energy back to the realm. It strengthens it. There are various artifacts and runes of great power strewn throughout the realm that are powered by dead Infernal life forces.

~The Infernal Realm Info~

General Structure:

The Infernal Realm is divided into an odd configuration that would imply something along the lines of Dante’s Inferno but the rings do not consecutively branch out. In the center the Infernal Palace in the capital city of Eden rests surrounded by the homes and residences of the Infernal elite. The ring outside those gates consists of five kingdoms; Lust (being the largest of the five), Pride, Greed, Envy, and Wrath.

The outer most ring consists of the other 2 kingdoms; Sloth and Gluttony. Lastly the outer “walls” or ring is a wasteland for lost souls that neither belong in Heaven or Hell. This is what most would consider to be Purgatory but that would be factually incorrect. The gateway to purgatory is hidden within this land's monochrome and misty forests. There are also rumors that a gateway to the other realms also lies in these woods safely guarded by Infernal Beasts with loyalty to their King. There is in fact a portal to the mortal realm in each kingdom and heavily guarded by whoever each Prince sees fit. In the beginning of their banishment the Princes began to build on the outskirts of the realm working their way inward this causes an influence on the architectural influences. The further out the kingdom the the more ancient. SO each Kingdom is influenced by a specific period in time. This also coincides with the technology seen in the kingdom. The exception are the Prince’s castles. An example of this is Gin’s Kingdom of Sloth. His kingdom is heavily ancient Egyptian based but he is obsessed with the mortal realm so he still has technology but you can only find it in his “castle”. You wouldn’t see that kind of tech outside those walls. In addition each kingdom is divided by a dangerous wasteland in order to deter souls from trying to escape kingdoms.

The only means of travel is a railway that travels from kingdom to kingdom. The tracks move and shift (kind of like the stairs in Harry Potter) to the destination that is required. One needs a ticket otherwise you can’t get on the railway and this is generally used by Imps or the occasional changeling if they are given permission to do so.

Darrius’ Prison (The Wasted Hollow): Darrius is locked in a very specific prison stuck in between the Infernal and the Mortal Realm. It's a cushy small cage that can only be opened by the power of the 12 Princes. There is not a living soul in it except for him. This place dampens his abilities but they all cannot be contained. He has imparted his influence in multiple ways by reaching out to mortals and demons alike. Under his instruction they have created different cults. They are currently clandestine under the New Order and the New Mortal Realm.

Note: If it was possible to get an aerial view of the entire Infernal Realm it would look very similar to a contract symbol or in essence a seal. This is due to the railway system that connects the kingdoms together. It’s a relatively new future as the millennia have progressed but the formation of these lines is in fact in the shape of a pentagram.

~The Kingdoms (7)~

Lust (Inner Ring)- The kingdom that used to be ruled by the current King of the Realm. The hierarchy works that each kingdom rules over a certain sin committed by those punished. The closer that they are to The Capital the richer and more prosperous. It’s era of influence is the Roaring 20′s and that can be seen in it’s more art deco styled architecture and fashion sense. The lust kingdom is ruled by Costello who is the crown prince and following that is Val. He is a prince as well but uncrowned to one of the major kingdoms (he could honestly care less).The kingdom of lust revels in opulence and is known for its material wealth and the demons here tend to be debaucherous and are known for their slave/pet dealings. In this kingdom they tend to be overly needy causing them to sate their desires with damned souls or each-other. It is well known that nothing can really saite these demons appetites for pleasure. They do as they will but continue to follow under the rules set forth by the King. The demons of this kingdom however tend to get away with more considering their kingdoms standing. Lust also does not just account for physical pleasure but lust for things such as wealth or power are prime examples. It is rumored that the two brothers appear to be opposites in their handling of the sin. Costello being more about possession and passion while Beast is more the stereotypical lust. Out of all the kingdoms this one seems to be the “best” one to be sentenced to especially if you find yourself at the feet of its rulers. The humans here are usually taken care of quite nicely though it is also rumored that some of those souls in question do not belong in Hell at all. Appearance wise the Lust kingdoms Castle is paved with marble and gold. It is near spotless excluding wealth and grandeur. The massive walls that hide the Castle from view are covered in thick lush green vines and flowers. They have lace like porticos that spill a strange liquid from snake-like mouths. It is said that a human that even consumes a drop of it will be subject to their demon masters will for eternity. A strong manipulative love potion in essence. The Palace gardens are almost as if they were taken from the Garden of Eden itself which is entirely possible. The further away from the epicenter of the city becomes less ostentatious though not dilapidated by any means. Many of the Infernal elite live in this kingdom commonly.

Pride (Inner Ring)- The kingdom of Pride is ruled by Carthus and Dusk which resides in the inner ring. As such it too exudes opulence at its center. The Kingdom supplies and trains those for the Capitals personal guard as well as the demons that are considered soldiers. This is also the Kingdom of the tainted. Those that are not quite demon but also not quite human. A long time ago when demons walked among the humans in the first mortal realm they wrecked havoc. The Princes of Pride manipulated humanity so much so that they began to turn them away from their old religions so that they would worship them instead.

In turn the two brothers (along with the Princes of the Kingdom of Greed) toyed with human souls creating Infernal half breeds. What humanity calls vampires, werewolves, and so forth. The humans began to decline at rapid numbers since those of half Infernal blood easily hunted the weak. Now they span the wasteland of Purgatory sometimes finding themselves in the Infernal or Mortal Realms.

Humans of high status on earth are also subjected to the same kind of torment they put on others in the worst way possible. Dictators, murderers and the like in this kingdom. It is a series of mind altering and psychologically torturing pathways and darkness. The only ones that are able to navigate this kingdom are those born from it’s depths or the Princes themselves as Dusk is the one that devised this horrifying MC Esher maze. It is influenced by the Late Victorian and Edwardian period. This kingdom’s seasons and magically produced light source can vary but the majority of the time the skies resemble twilight fading into darkness as you get further away from the castle.

Wrath (Inner Ring)- The Kingdom of Wrath is the kingdom of War and bloodlust ruled by Sokan and Azrin. This is the kingdom known as The Cell unlike the kingdom of Lust, Wrath only shows off it’s splendor near it’s castle and some of the surrounding areas. It is mostly utilized as a giant torture pit. This is where souls are sent as punishment of the most severe crimes and tortured mercilessly sometimes torn to shreds only to be revived.

Their leader is a ruthless warden of sorts making sure that everyone obeys the laws both set forth for demon or soul. Demons sentenced to exile are also detained here in this confusing catacomb prison. It is filled with deadly traps and pitfalls to prevent escape as well. The human souls usually sentenced here were the warriors that committed atrocities without a second glance at the innocent. Those that killed children in the name of the king is an example of this.

The Cell is also where souls are twisted beyond recognition and where most new demons are made. In this world demons are made not born and those corrupted souls become the new generation. It could take years. It could take centuries but being thrown into The Cell is a sure fire sentence into Infernal rebirth.

There are two rulers of this kingdom and as such two types of punishments. While Boss rules over the Pit, Azrin is his little torture aficionado. Those sentenced are usually the type of killers that were mentally undone. Ones that took a sick twisted pleasure in their artistry. Those are usually brought from the outside. Their ruler, Azrin, is what one might call… unhinged at best. They are known for their experimentation attempting to twist mortal souls into whatever is desired... following in the footsteps of his older brothers.

Greed (Inner Ring)- The kingdom of Greed is unlike any other kingdom as it houses an insurmountable number of souls within it (even if they don’t last long). It’s influence is the High Gothic Period, just think Dracula’s castle and forest. The ruler of Greed, Crimson, is a ruthless warlord with an unusual thirst for blood and not in the war hungry way. It’s second Prince, Grimm, enjoys torturing souls himself and will generally set up elaborate hunts to that end.

It’s alternate title is that of the Kingdom of Blood. Those unfortunate souls forced to end up in such a horrible kingdom will find themselves subject to experimentation or unwinable hunts. Crimson was the one that started all of this half breed creation along with Carthus and Dusk. Though there were many creatures that came about through this experimentation Crimson and Grimm are specifically tied to two infernal blooded hybrids. The two brothers are most likely where the vampire and werewolf mythology stem from.

Both brothers continue to play with their human “toys” as they did so long ago. They enjoy the thrill of hunting down those sentenced and revel in their success. Crimson prefers the opulence and riches that his sin provides while Grimm is more down to earth. It may account for his more bestial nature as he has a similar animalistic inclination like that of his youngest brother Ouro.

Envy (Inner Ring)- This is the kingdom that trains and outsources spies as well as assassins. Demonic hitmen used to gain political power among their respective kingdoms. They are known for their thieves mostly stealing from their neighboring kingdom of greed, specifically souls. Envy is known as the shadow kingdom usually housing those souls of the occult and black magic. Those that tried to obtain the unobtainable through magical or demonic means like that of Hedge Witches.

Sanneth does not take kindly to this as these souls are tortured for all eternity forced to relive and conjure their own worst fears or transgressions. A never ending nightmare would be an apt description. Like his younger brother Dusk, Sanneth does not embrace his sin as much as the others. His abilities reflect his more Celestial blood but alas he is a Prince and therefore a kingdom he must rule.

Sanneth also happens to be the twin brother of Carthus and the two are constantly at odds. He believes that they can conduct their “duty” without fulling turning into monsters while Carthus revels in his corruption. The 4th eldest prince’s envy could stem from his desire to return to how he once was. The castle rests in a season of eternal Spring influenced by the Japanese Edo period.

Gluttony (Outer Ring)- Those that are placed into this kingdom as punishment are subjected to torture of starvation and thirst. The princes castle is surrounded by a never ending desert with no hope for food or drink. Souls are forced to starve wandering this desert for the rest of eternity. The demons banished into this place feast on mortal corpses that fall, tearing them to pieces like scavengers.

When the sun sets these mortals end up back where they started in one piece having to endure the same torture over and over. Ouro the ruler of his kingdom does not do much in the way of duty. He tends to delegate his jobs to other lower level demons. If a mortal manages to cross the desert the torture is with standing. Any food will turn to ash in their mouths and any water will burn the throat. It is an endless never quenchable thirst and hunger. It’s influence is that of Mesoamerica such as the ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations. Sloth (Outer Ring)- Sloth is the final kingdom before the Outer Ring. It is “ruled” by Prince Gin though no one could actually tell you what it takes to maintain the kingdom as he tends to delegate everything to his Dukes.

The souls here are never allowed to rest, forced to work the land for food production. Which is hilarious because food does literally nothing for demons. Ok hilarious in a cruel sick way. The Infernal Princes do like to have their feasts and lavish parties but that food is very different. In essence mortals are forced into a constant state of fatigue. Never able to drink, eat, or most of all sleep.

Gin tends to be selectively lazy but he has a fascination with the modern mortal world and tends to spend a lot of his time acquiring items from there. The poor boy has insomnia so he rarely sleeps since he is so enthralled with his game systems. He is very much a pop culture nerd at times and if you can get on his good side you will find that is probably one of the softer of the Princes. He likes a good time, oh and junk food... lots of junk food. The influence for this kingdom is ancient Egyptian as alluded to earlier since both of the Outer Ring Kingdoms are surrounded by a seemingly never ending stretch of desert.

(That’s it for this week! I hope that gives you all kind of an idea how the Infernal realm works. This is jus the basics and if people are more interested in this I will go into more detail. That is what the ask box is for!) << PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>
