thinking about !bad (d! q! tr!, mostly) and his lore. augh. i'm trying to come up with headcanons for him but his lore is so intricate, i can't put it together. there's so many pieces but not enough to finish the puzzle
so far it's been alluded that bad is/was a (fallen?) angel from heaven, one of the 4 angels trapped under the euphrates released in the second trumpet of woe, and one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.
in his early days, he was a spectator outside of time. he's worked as a grim reaper. he was outcast from heaven and accepted back. his new job has an hr equivalent, "ar", his job requires him to create conflict.
it's speculated his arrival sunk atlantis and ended the last ice age. he catalyzed a tragedy in venice. he saw the salem witch trials. he knew einstein personally. he was there for the sinking of the titanic. death follows him. he has an insatiable hunger. hes been chased with pitchforks. he has had previous "love" interests, some of which have tried to kill him. bads first kill was a guard. he chose to continue killing, believing he had no choice. he's died before, and with each death he becomes immune to the cause. he knows death is not the end, rather a part of life. he's had to hide his true identity. he has many enemies, a few of which are consistently following him.
he hates the ocean, he's scared of wardens, he loves conflict. petty violence is a sign of affection for him. he doesn't care for living things, yet empathizes with them. for him, animals and people are no different, they both are sentient.
he has flaws. he's forgetful, and selfish in the eyes of mortals. he never breaks a deal. his actions don't always align with the values of heaven. he's been forgiven for all his past present and future actions.
just who exactly IS this guy. what does he know.
