The arcs of the plot. Part 2
This arch contributes to the disclosure of both Lilith and Lucifer. The plot is based on Lilith's desire to take revenge on Lucifer for deceiving her in Eden. It was Lucifer who led Lilith into the Abyss, but not as a "full-fledged citizen of society", at least, but as a servant and a mockery. Since the demons, for the most part (the exception is the hierarchy of air demons, archai), have a patriarchy, no one took Lilith seriously.
However, thanks to the less principled archai demons, Lilith was able to take a low, but definite place in the society of demons. But despite this, some of them, especially the seraphim, did not stop looking at her from above. Lilith was able to gain a foothold among the Archai by opening the world to them⊠carnal pleasures (for there are only men among the angels, respectively, even after being exiled and becoming demons, they still did not know this side of life). For the fact that she discovered such a "miracle" for them, the archai began to praise Lilith. They brought her everything she demanded and fulfilled her every request (within the framework of the laws of the community demons).
Considering that since this "method" helped her gain the favor of a whole third of the demons (the archai are the most numerous hierarchy in the Abyss), she decided to settle accounts with Lucifer in this way - to make him fall in love and exalt her.
But she did not take into account the impenetrable pride of Lucifer, a feature of all seraphim. It was this arch that contributed to the appearance of the Ate)
So throughout the entire arc, Lilith will already try to seduce Lucifer out of her own pride and principle, in order to humiliate him. As a result, the arc will end already in season 1, somewhat differently from the outcome that Lilith and Lucifer himself expected.
This is the arch of the angel Andrasel, who was unlucky enough to be in Sodom on that day to fulfill an assignment from the son of Yahweh. Initially, an arch was not planned with him, but there is too much of him in the scenes for an episodic character. But it can be useful in revealing the angels of Empyrean to the viewer. If he does not have an arch, and the scenes with him will be enough, it is not clear what he does in the scene without conflict, except for the explanation for the setting. His arch is directly connected and crosses Belial's arch and the main storyline.
So during the main storyline, he stumbles upon a former friend of the demon in Sodom, whom they have not seen since the expulsion of those from the Empyrean - Belial. Unaware of what is on his mind, he agrees to meet with him, despite the rules, as he wants to find out how his life is. But everything is not going according to plan for both of them. I described above what Belial's arch and his motive are, and so, Andrasel becomes the antagonist of his idea. And since he does not agree in principle to "contribute" to Belial's idea, Belial, during the scuffle, steals from him a halo - a "pass" to the Empyrean, without which Andrasel will not be able to return home. So the main conflict of this arch is Andrasel should force Belial to return the halo without violating his principles,
7. Temptation for Asmodeus
There was no arch planned with him either, but since the character will be associated with the Astaroth arch, it will obviously take some time to get to know him for the desired effect. His problem is simple, he also stumbles upon the trigger character Belial.
His goal is closely related to the arch of the Head of the Abyss. As the youngest seraphim, Asmodeus is eager to get one of these positions in the next election. Since the elections will take place on the basis of voting by other demons, the popularity, respect or sympathy of other demons for the candidate plays the greatest role here. Unlike Moloch, Asmodeus has fewer problems with self-control, and therefore more chances. But he has a weakness not particularly characteristic of seraphim - for simple pleasures. For the time being, he did not show curiosity about them and kept aloof until he decided to gain popularity among the most numerous hierarchy of demons for elections - the Archai, where he was unlucky to meet Belial.
Next, there is unlikely to be a spoiler if you Google the demon of what Asmodeus is in demonology. Of course, judging by his description, he does not look like the original Asmodeus. But why should the demon of lust be so sophisticated in this? Everything is known by comparison. In order to call this Asmodeus immoral, in the setting it is enough to compare other seraphim with him. He is the only demon in the seraphim hierarchy who has had an affair with a partner of his own sex. Considering how other hierarchies treat such connections (negatively), if Asmodeus's affair is revealed, he will definitely have no chance of a position, and never will be. So his conflict, similar to the Lucifer arch, is to conceal the fact in order to exclude his vilification. However, unlike Lucifer, he will rush back and forth in an attempt to get rid of his weakness.
The arches for the first season are finished. I will not prescribe the arches of other seasons here, there is no point. The framework of the whole story is ready, need to focus on season 1. But in advance, I would like to know what you think about such story arcs? (if, of course, you were able to read up to this point and master a ton of textđ
) Do their conflicts sound interesting? Or an eyeliner for them?
