Hi! New to the Hellaverse fandom, and new to your Uncle Michael AU! I love it, I’m so curious where the story will go!
I had a few questions if that’s okay?
First, where does Sera fit in your AU? In canon she is apparently in charge of Heaven’s hierarchy and laws, and states it is her duty to “enforce the judgment of Heaven, to nurture and protect those who deserve it, and to preserve the separation between the righteous and the wicked.”
Second, what are the Virtues’ roles in Heaven? I think you said in old ask they rule the different levels of Heaven, like the Sins?
Third, in your AU are the Virtues the same as the Elders of Heaven who forbade Lucifer from taking part in Creation, or were those different people?
Fourth, the Seven Virtues are kind of like the counterparts to the Seven Sins, right? (Except Lucifer, who fills a spot on both sides.) which Sin acts a counterpart to which Virtue? Do they know about each other? What do they think about each other?
(This one is gonna be looong!)
I'd be happy to answer these!
First, Sera still holds a very important position within Heaven's central administration and keeps a role similar to her canon. She is heavily involved in maintaining Heaven's laws, order, and overall stability. However, unlike canon, she does not possess absolute authority. Many important decisions are made collectively alongside the Seven Virtues, who govern Heaven's others domains. (Although, sometimes she makes her own decisions xd)
2. The Seven Virtues act as the leaders and caretakers of Heaven's domains.
Each Virtue oversees a different region and is responsible for its administration, welfare, and development. While they govern their own territories, they also perform duties related to the ideals they embody.
Together, they form part of Heaven's highest leadership and work to ensure both their domains and Heaven as a whole continue to function properly.
Assisting them are numerous lesser Virtues and angelic officials, who help manage daily affairs, guide souls, maintain services, and carry out the countless responsibilities required to keep Heaven functioning.
3. Yes, in this AU the Seven Virtues are considered Heaven's eldest and most influential figures. That said, this AU does not follow every event from the original series exactly, so some aspects of Heaven's history and Lucifer's past differ from canon.
4. Again, Yes. The Virtues and Sins are intended to act as counterparts to one another, They are aware that the other side exists and know who their counterparts are, but most of them have never actually met face-to-face.
Because of that, many of their opinions are based on stories, assumptions, rumors, or books rather than personal experience.
But I made a lil "what if..." because I liked the idea of them together 🤣
Interesting questions btw!! I liked to answer these! :]
