Backstory:

The Son grew up with a single father, who at the time was the mob boss of the Nightvalley Family and was renowned for his crimes. His father worshiped the Sins and was their most devoted follower then. The Son hates what his father does and hides the fact that he had a mob boss father when he was younger. They have plenty of arguments. The Father wants him to take over his mob when he passes but the Son strongly objects to it and wants to live his own life. He took on a normal office job because that's what he really wanted to do and distanced himself from his father. However, one day he turned on the news to see that his father was shot dead by a rival gang. That happened when he was 20-ish. The Son instantly regretted it, cried and decided to clean up his mob after his funeral (like he would run it for a week and shut it down). He even used the mob’s name to do disgustingly good things which made him the butt of the joke. He pushed through despite that. What he doesn't know is that the Sins are eyeing him. The Sins took his father’s soul away through the shooting as they believe that he is finally ready to “retire” and “claim his reward of eternal punishment in hell”. To further reward him for his devotion, they decide to go down and mess with the Son’s head and whisper temptations in order to corrupt him. At first, the Son really resisted but while he was picked on by other rival gangs again (on the last day of operation too), the voices became too much and he snapped, doing what the Sins told him to do, which is to kill all of them. He realised that he actually liked it (due to the overwhelming adrenaline purposely injected by the Sins) and he lost his mind in real time being consumed by the Sins. He was hysterical.

From then on the Son, now called Boss, quit his job and ran the mob full time and extremely well due to him being corrupted and fueled with unnatural powers and godly essence given by the Sins. He is a demon god now due to the Sins using him as a vessel to carry out their will.

Personality:

Boss is extremely narcissistic and arrogant due to Pride taking a particular liking to him so he merged quite a large part of his godly essence with his soul, resulting in him having a god complex beyond saving. His hobby is looking at his mirror all the time and fawning over himself for hours on end. He is also quite playful and smug in his antics usually and would tease his prey in the cruelest of ways before killing them. He is also really childish and would still throw grown ass man tantrums if things aren't done his way. Despite this, he does know when to be menacing. He is extremely afraid of his past self because in his words, that’s “the most hideous thing in the world” and could never be him. He can’t recognise his past self as himself anymore. Despite being heartless most of the time, he has a soft spot for children and dogs but he would hide it. Sometimes, his arrogance blinds his intelligence. He holds a calm demeanor to get what he wants. He is more emotional than rational. He is also really impulsive if he is excited about a certain idea that would benefit himself or the family.

Before becoming Boss, Son has an extremely strong sense of moral justice and is pretty quiet and focused on his work. (will be expanded on later... maybe)

Powers:

Pride: wild card, main (most important) burning drive to do shit for his own gain and feed his own ego

Wrath: super strength when he’s mad

Lust: charmer (able to bend others to his will by simply flirting / charming them without him actually meaning it), also given attractiveness in terms of looks

Sloth: [Sloth is too lazy to give him a power but he did give him a lot of his godly essence so this is why Boss constantly gets his underlings to do shit for him instead of doing it himself]

Gluttony: bottomless stomach (able to eat without gaining weight) and a disgusting appetite

Greed: conning abilities, invisibility (to steal)

Envy: voice mimicry (to lure others into traps he set)

Random Facts to shame him about:

he can't cook for shit

Set in the current time period, alternate Earth. There are demon gods known as the Seven Sins who ruled the fiery Hell in the skies. Meanwhile, their enemies, the angels of Seven Virtues who ruled the Heavens in the underground. The reason why they didn’t live in their respective areas is because they had a war long before humanity that was caused by misconceptions and bitterness. The Sins won that war, overpowering the Seven Virtues, banishing them to the underground and converting the Heavens into the new Hell. It’s been a millennium since that incident. The Sins eventually gained a cult following when humanity is created while the Virtues are almost unheard of on Earth as they live in radio silence. Each party exerts their own control on Earth in different ways with the Sins being more open and the Virtues being more subtle. The two parties felt that they had enough and wanted to reconcile, putting aside their hatred for each other. However, if they reconcile as one, good and evil will be no more, and that will cause the self-destruction of Earth. Both are eager to search for eternal vessels [Ultimate Sin and Ultimate Virtue] to represent them and inhabit their beliefs and power in order to get them to fight and rule the Heavens and Hell in their stead so good and evil is maintained. Once they achieve that, the two vessels will inevitably meet one unknown day and battle one round per day to the end of time from then on. If they break off and stop fighting for whatever reason, the world will end as this balance is thrown off. This battle MUST go on forever in the form of mind games or physical combat, and an Earthly referee must be appointed by the gods to make sure of this without their knowledge. Their job would be to play both sides.

this oc universe is based off a mafia au I made of my fav chinese novel series: Nightvalley Guesthouse (english translated name) by bluegodzi and it eventually it turned into its own thing. although I would still integrate the same characters from the book, I would put a spin on them, oc-fy them or their endings would be different from the og source material based on what I want so I'm just having fun playing dolls with the characters

I take this universe semi-seriously cuz it can get goofy at times. this universe is very self indulgent heh.

also this is my first time planning and writing such a large scale universe & a diverse cast like this so pardon me if I make any mistakes I will rectify them. I try my hardest to do research hehe. also things, logic and characters might be very nonsensical or not very good because I'm writing this for my brainworms who thinks this is cool as shit (the two main characters in this are quite literally two gary stus battling to the death be fr lol). it's gonna be a very slice of life plot me thinks

here's the doc for lore! I would update sometimes.... and stuff may change a lot (THIS IS STILL WIP):
