((Information about Asmodeus!))
Name: Asmodeus
Nicknames/Aliases: A.S. Morris. Samael calls him βMoβ, which is fine, or βMomoβ, which he hates, itβs so undignified-
Age/Date of Birth/Place of Birth: Older than time/Before time began/Heaven
Species: Demon/Fallen Angel
Gender/Pronouns: Technically agender, fine with corporation being seen as βmaleβ, he/him
Sexuality: Technically asexual, sex-positive, panβ¦something (heβs. Experimented. With various humans of various genders.) (But, really, they were all stand-ins for a certain someone.)
Appearance: Asmodeus looks much like Aziraphale does, except with straight, white, combed-back hair rather than blond curls. His eyes are black and look human, but he always wears gloves to cover up patches of white snakeskin on the back of his hands and up his arms. Has quite heavy under-eye eyeliner tattooed on (it came with his corporation, he canβt get rid of it). Wouldnβt be caught dead in anything other than black. Blatantly refuses to wear anything more modern than 19th century attire (think Laszlo Cravensworth, but with zero rhinestones). All the emo kids in London see him as an icon.
Personality/History: A fussy demon. Rather quiet, gothic, and always looks sad and distant, though heβd tell you βI canβt help how my face looksβ. Basically, Aziraphale with clinical depression instead of clinical anxiety. Eternally tired. Relieved to be anywhere but Hell. Owns an antique museum/restoration workshop, incredibly minimalist and sparse, with rather clinical glass displays for the most delicate pieces. Intimidates said antiques into staying in one piece with an incredibly cold demeanor. Secretly sends donations to keep all the second-hand bookstores running. Files reports so meticulously and perfectly that Hell is suspicious about them (most reports are scribbled on the back of a bit of cardboard). Looks like he desperately needs a cup of tea, or a hug, at all times. He didnβt mean to Fall. He justβ¦ stumbled down the wrong staircase.
His first assignment from Hell was to tempt the first humans into sin, but he didnβt want to damn them like he had been damned, so he curled up in the first tree he found and went to sleep. Eve befriended him, and asked if the apples were his. He said no, and there was no signβ¦well, he took credit for it in his report, but it was an unfortunate situation. Those humans didnβt deserve to be kicked out, surely. Unless that was part of the plan all alongβ¦?
Anyway, that poor angel (the starmaker heβd once admired so!) was very upset by it; and it wasnβt very demonic of Asmodeus to comfort him, but you try looking at Samaelβs sad little face and ignoring it. Still, heβd best leave it at that. It wouldn't do for a demon like him to get into the habit of hanging around an angel.
Asmodeus proceeded to get into the habit of hanging around an angel. Well, it wasnβt his fault that Samael kept appearing, and Asmodeus did try to warn him that it would get him into trouble. But you try telling such a sweet, darling creature to go away; it didnβt bear thinking about. Maybe things would be alright as long as nobody found out. Itβs not as if his one-time-crush was going to turn into him falling deeply in love over the millennia or anything- oh, fuck.
