Hey everyone! Iām going to be giving you some basic information points for this AU!
>So, first off: Yes, the other nations do exist in this AU, unless they are angels/demons.
>If a country is an angel/demon, they are NOT alive within the AU and then do not appear in the world as a country. That country is usually occupied, then, by a 2p!
> 2p! characters are not called 2p!ās, they are like a reincarnated embodiment of a nation after a major, life-changing event has happened (So Arthur and Oliver have no relation to one another and Oliver did not exist until Arthur died, for example, were Arthur an angel/demon).
> DEVILS are unaware of their previous lives. Itās part of their āpunishmentā.
>There are numerous reasons for a nation in particular to be chosen as an angel or a devil, many however donāt really know what happened. Their deaths and births in the afterlife are them as new beings.
>There are 2p!/s in the after life as well.
> THIS TAKES PLACE IN AN ENTIRELY ALTERNATE REALITY. Countries may no longer exist, power balances will have shifted,wars will have happened, etc.,
Assuming that, say, Germany is a powerful nation in this AU may not entirely be correct.
>I have no partner blogs and this is the only blog associated with this AU. As of this moment I have no interest in opening it for other blogs to join and am not looking for a partner blog. I may change my mind in the future if I should find a reason and the story permits it to be acceptable. :)
>ALL related information will be searchable under āSDBā. The tag I am using for this AU is SDB, short for Sweet Devil Belarus.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE UNDERWORLD/HELL:
> Satan/Hades/Pluto etc. are all the same person: The ruler of Hell. He is NOT a nation and thus not a Hetalia character and probably wonāt show up much.
>Beneath Satan are the Seven Deadly Sins, whom are the most powerful and pure devils within all creation.
>Beneath the seven sins are the four dukes of Hell, whom own a single territory (A Legion) Ā in which the devils and demons are divided between.
>Beneath the Dukes are Devils, and within devils are their own hierarchy
>> Devils are creatures brought to Hell who have participated in a particular (or multiple) sins and carried devastating acts in their names. They are granted greater powers and commendations, and are granted the āEssenceā of said sin (explained later).
>Beneath devils are demons, whom also have their own hierarchy
>>Demons are lesser beings and/or entirely brimstone creatures created through Hell Engines. They often due the bidding of higher-rated devils and are similar to the cavalry of the armies. Weak demons are practically living robots without any true consciousness of their own. Powerful demons rival the weakest of devils and vie for power and favoritism of higher ranking devils and dukes.
>Devils Have a unique hierarchy based on strengths, weaknesses, their Essences, and many other factors such as usefulness, intelligence, brute strength, etc. A smart devil may be mid-ranking while a highly intelligent, albeit āweakā devil may have greater reach.
> A devilās essence is a part of their internal makeup. The Seven Sins are infinitely vast beings. Depending on a devilās previous life, one or more (up to three) Sins may offer their āessenceā to a devil, granting them powers and typically greater rank. These Essences also define the devilās personality, their legion, their assignments, and what type of sin they favor committing or causing in the mortal realm. Ā
>Devils lack humanity. Love, body shame, empathy, sympathy, affection, curiosity, and questioning their existence/chasing dreams, hope, etc., are things devils and demons simply do not do. They are stripped of the āGoodā and āpureā within them when they āFall from Graceā.
>Angels and devils are constantly vying for power within the mortal realm.
> Angels Have their own hierarchies that Natalia and most devils know very little about
>Angels and devils do not recognize one another if they knew one another in their previous lives
>Angels are not stripped of their memories, and those of high status can even investigate the memories and lives of devils and other creatures.
>Angels can embody the virtues in a negative light
I have very few rules, but please keep them in mind.
Please keep all questions directed at Natalia unless stated otherwise. There are numerous other characters but the blog will remain focused on her.
I do take AUās. This is still a fun experience and not everything has to forward the story/plot.
Feel free to ask any in depth questions regarding this list, I can always try to explain more. This list is certainly here to not only serve as a reminder but to also give you ideas regarding this blog. :)
Interactions are welcomed. Considering this is an AU where even the mortal world is set in an alternate reality and timeline, Iām not going to be picky regarding other AU blogs or regular Hetalia nation blogs interacting with me! < 3
Please keep cursing to a minimum. There are certain words I absolutely hate is all, lol.
Please do not create a blog within this AU setting or using my AU ideas. You may ask me if I have changed my mind regarding partner blogs/opening the AU to be joined but please respect that these are my ideas and that I have a specific storyline and plot I am working on going through with this blog.
Do not repost my art. If youāre being really unsure about it, please ask me.
This blog (despite being marked explicit) is not explicit. Please Keep in mind it may be borderline but it will (sadly) comply with Tumblrās new (and trash) guidelines.
