Imps are bipedal reptillianesque creatures which were originally created by Lucifer to be a sort of bastardization of the human race.

Fun fact: scars and large horns are desirable traits in common imp society!

Some other imp facts from older pages i made ^^:

They are my versions of Cherri and Baxter hehe

Sherri died due to a car bomb in the 1980s in Scotland

Bakhtiar died from drowning in the 1590s in Gujarat (during the mughal empire)

Sherri is a hedonistic thrill-seeker who has a penchant for fire and explosives

Bakhtiar is a researcher who spent the better part of their afterlife researching hell’s biosphere and the regeneration qualities of sinners

Here’s some more art with them!!! ^^

Lafayette Freeman “Husker” Hughes

HE/HIM, Demisexual, Demiromantic, 6’3” (in life), 4’8” (sinner)

Born February 3rd, 1903 in Itta Bena, Mississippi

Died April 1st, 1977 (age 74)

Worked as a sharecropper for most of his life before his 40s

Met his wife Henrietta as a child. She pet-named him “Husker” after his strength.

A smooth talker in life.

Had 5 children in life (Mary, Henrietta Jr., Michael, Jonah, and Isaiah)

Did scammy roadside card tricks on the side.

Wasn’t conscripted for WW1, but was drafted in WW2 when he was 39.

Sent home 14 months later due to shell shock and a shot hip.

Believed himself to be a coward upon coming home.

Picked up binge drinking and gambline

Is a nasty drunk, got into arguments with Henrietta and yelled a lot.

Gambled away lots of his household money.

Henrietta ended up leaving Lafayette when he was 48, and his children followed suit

Used his street card tricks and military pension go get by while he spent his coin on booze and gambling.

Has a bad limp, but refuses to use a cane.

Learned a variety of languages as a hobby (French, Spanish, Mandarin, Portuguese, Choctaw, and Navajo)

Presents himself as a very proud man, and doesn’t let anyone close enough to see his true feelings.

Ended up developing hepatitis and ARBD and was put into the care of his oldest child, Mary.

Mary thought of him as a rotten old man and urged him to change his ways before he died.

He ended up developing cirrhosis of the liver, and later died of liver failure.

Husker

As a sinner, Husker was blessed with great luck, and he used that to his advantage through winning people’s souls in bets and opening up a casino in his name. His hubris came back go bite him when he got on the bad side of the Radio Demon. He eventually lost his soul in a deal with Al and became his pawn. Despite his harsh demeanor, Husker sucks up to Al’s almost every whim. He was brought to Novus’ ward as a concierge by Al, although he seems to despise this position and binge drinks during the little time he has for breaks.

HES FINALLY HERE!!1!111!! His ref sheet took me five ever lmao

I wanted to make him look more like an old geezer than how canon did, as you can’t really tell his age from anything other than his voice.

I wish they gave him some kinda gut in the show tbh… like. He’s a raging alcoholic let him at least have a beer belly ‼️

I wanna say he had to sell his casino to another owner after he lost his soul and his fortune, i’m thinking to another cat-like sinner woman 😼

Im gonna make it so he learned hellish (the language that many hellborn as well as older sinners speak, kinda like a Hell Esperanto typa thing) shortly after he died.

Fun fact! The imp lady you can see him with in the pic still works at the casino, although she is much older now (she’s the stout yellow one in the image below ^^)

^ this is a pic I drew inspired by Love in a Bottle hehehehe

Id say that HuskerDust wouldn’t be canon in the course of the story, although i do kinda ship him and Andy. I kinda just wanna see them being old men with each other and stuff lolol

Some doodles of some of the overlords as humans hehe….

I have been having so much fun thinking up stories for them recently oml, i just wanna dissect these people

Roosje (Hellions!Rosie) is a boer woman who died in 1900

Vox is a russian man who died around 1761

Valentino is an Italian man who died in the late 1970s

Carmilla is a Spaniard Roma woman who died in the 1470s

Antony Mariano Polito

HE/HIM, Gay, 6’2”

Born July 25th, 1908 in Queens, New York

Died January 7th, 1945 (Age 34)

Was a part of the mob (along with his male family members)

Well-liked among the working-class of his community

His parent’s favorite, and kinda like a mini-me for the both of them

Dropped out of school at 14 to work under his dad

Developed an amphetamine addiction as his mother encouraged him to do uppers with her

Good-looking, charming, flirty, and friendly fellow

His brother eventually found letter exchanges between him and a male lover, and subsequently outed him to their parents. This caused them to kick him out and ostracize him.

After being kicked out, Andy went on a long bender to try and drown out his problems with speed and booze, ending in his death of an overdose.

Angel Dust

After he died, Andy started offering out services like robberies, attacks, and sexual favors in exchange for alcohol and drugs

In the 1970s, he met Valentino: a washed up movie producer who was a repeat customer of his

they got high and went on benders together frequently

they ended up dating foe a while

Val eventually got in good with a leading overlord (Vox), and ended up convincing Andy for partial ownership of his soul in promise of stardom

this was a decision Andy learned to regret, as he was now tied to Val, who ended up being much worse of a person than he first led on to be, and it didn’t seem like he was planning on giving his soul back any time soon.

Andy, or his stage name Angel Dust, is currently a famous actor and sex symbol in Hell, but off the hours, he continues to sell his body for cash, booze, and drugs

Another member of the main gang done!

With canon Angel, I had a lot of gripes with how he’s portrayed. He acts and dresses like a teenager even though hes supposed to be around 120 years old, no elements of his time period and mafia connections show through in his character, and his abuse is treated for laughs! Its ridiculous.

My original redesign for him had him looking like. Well, just a fuzzy dude, so I gave him a more spider-like head.

I wanted to delve more into how a lot of mafia syndicates were well-liked and well-respected among the people of their communities, especially the working class, like a “oh yeah they help us up and give us jobs and booze, but dont double cross them” kinda thing. I wanna say Andy and his father were very well-liked among their community and many people gave him freebies like booze and smokes just outta respect for him.

His father was a second-generation immigrant from Italy, and his mother was a first-generation Sicilian immigrant.

His family dynamic was very not-healthy, as Antony was pretty much the golden child, while Maria was the scapegoat for Alcinia, and Vito was the scapegoat for their, which fostered years-long resentment and jealousy towards Andy on his part.

Andy was proud of his occupation and of his social standing, so when he was kicked out it felt like his entire world was crumbling.

Basically his entire afterlife as a sinner leading up to him joining Novus’ team was him getting/being high, as since sinners couldn’t die, there was nothing holding him back from taking as many drugs as he wanted.

I wanted his relationship with Val to have more layers, since I think it would provide better context as to why he’d be willing to stay with him for so long. They have history together.

Agatha de los Cielos

Created on August 13th, 80 CE

Used to be an Annihilator angel

Fell on October 3rd, 1777

Fell due to attacking Lucia out of jealousy of Adam’s trust in her, Lucia fought back and stabbed her eye (Lucia did go too far and cut off her wings because she was also jealous of Agatha)

Lost her angelic spear when she fell, which came into the hands of Carmilla, kickstarting her black market angelic weaponry career. Agatha later replaced her spear with a non-angelic halberd.

Was a blank slate when she first fall, and sorta assimilated into the culture of the people that took her in, and learned Spanish before Hellish.

Still learning how to be/not used to being a person.

Her love borders on possession, and she is often overprotective of the things she cares about.

Prefers dressing more femininely

Overworks herself in most things she does; a perfectionist

Not used to feeling intense emotions

END ID

Agatha is another character that went thru a few iterations to get to where we are now! I originally leaned to more military-style clothing for her, but I realized i could do a lot more with her character by building a fashion sense outside of that…

My main gripe about canon Vaggi is that 1. She doesn’t have any character outside of Charlie, and 2. She isn’t allowed to be a bad person? Like what do you mean she was cast out of heaven for being merciful to a child??? HEAVEN? THE GOOD PLACE TO GO??

I want to show that even these angels have their flaws, and especially if you get emotions involved. (Both Agatha and Lucia (Lute) were jealous of each other; Agatha was jealous of Adam’s trust in Lucia, and Lucia was jealous of Agatha’s position as second-in-command)

I wanna say that Agatha and Novus have a relationship develop later on in the story, beginning with their shared devotion to redemption (even though Agatha’s POV starts as a more rebellious “I can get back up there! Just see me try!” Way than out of actual earnesty)

Novus

SHE/HER, Pansexual, 5’6”

Born on January 1, aught century AD

Parents are Lucifer and Lilith

Gave herself her own name, based after her epithet “The New Queen of Hell”

Is a nephilim, and can grow to about 15 feet tall in her true form.

Likes dressing in more masculine clothes, but from very archaic times

Was conceived to be an Antichrist by Lucifer, didn’t work

Likes observing and people-watching

Lacks firsthand experience for most things. Her understanding of the world is more based on knowledge than experience.

Raised herself, since her parents both (literally) vanished after she was born

Believes her cause is more important that herself

She doesn’t really allow herself to be a person

Not great with people, but not awful with them either

Workaholic, doesn’t really need to sleep, but whatever she’s doing now isn’t healthy either

Bigenital and able to reproduce asexually

Enjoys painting her nails and doing her makeup

Very interested in human and hellborn cultures

END ID

Here she is! The queen herself! She went thru a few iterations before i got to this one here, but I kept most of her traits consistent throughout.

One of my least favorite aspects bout canon Charlie is how egregiously NAIVE she is! Shes supposed to be a princess, yet any hint of responsibility and shes already ugly crying on the floor, honestly, its just sad.

I wanted to give Novus a more mature vibe about her, especially in her design. I wanted to hint at how she is MUCH older than she first leads on (like making her clothes be from the byzantine empire)

There is a lot of fanfare around her birth in my version of Hell: it caused 80% of the sinner population to be wiped out by Annihilator angels (my version of exorcists) because of Lucifer’s disappearance, and it became an imp and hellhound holiday, as it caused them to stage revolutions against the higher-ranked demons they were forced to work under.
