The Damnedverse

A Helluva Reimagine

I would say that I have different favourites for different things and aspects.

1. I would have to say my favourite visual redesign is Valentino Belmonte. (Tumblr glitched out and deleted this paragraph so I’m rushing this one) I chose to change his design from a moth to a peacock to fit the damnedverse’s rules of Lust Sinners have bird designs with blue colour pallets. I think the animal itself fits my take on his personality and the idea of a peacocks train replacing Val’s wing-cape is such a stunning idea I’ll probably never be able to draw. A close second is Vincent Hindsite’s soul/face eater design. I feel like it really plays into his analogue horror + cannibalism vibes from the original and his facelessness (besides a giant mouth) shows his dedication to radio over video. I’m also really proud of the decision to make him see the world monochromatically.

2. My favourite biological redesign is Vox Populi (another I’m yet to post about) as I’ve changed certain things around the mechanics over him changing his head and having gills to actually make sense biologically. A close second is Lucifer Shacar, who actually needs his cane to walk after his fall and has a multitude of viable and hidden weaknesses because of that day, I’m unsure if his cane serves the same purpose in canon but is just not being explicitly stated?

3. My current favourite human-backstory redesign is kind of undecided since hardly any have been confirmed in canon so it’s more of what I came up with on my own. Sooo

4. This could be due to recency bias but my favoruite ship revamp is Widowers. I’ve chosen to merge SnakeBomb and HuskerDust into a ship between Basil Princeton and Charlie Eclipse to remove clutter from the cast and have more defined and expanded relationships and I have grown to love their dynamic and angst so much! Close seconds are (of course) the main two couples A&E and Carmathan as well as what I’m going to with Lyra and the Exorcist Commander later on in the story.

5. Overall, I would have to say my favourite current ret-con has to be Charlie Morningstar becoming Carma Ben Shacar. From her out-of-place name becoming Carma, to Ben Shacar meaning ‘son (child) of Morning’, to her design making her look less like a gender swap of Lucifer. I also just love what I’ve decided to change about her lore and power ranking (some of this yet to be revealed) as well as the dynamic I’ve managed to make out of the Princess of Pride (the embodiment of confidence) dating the Duke of Envy (the embodiment of admiration). I also adore her new dynamic with her father, making the moments of parent-child interactions between them feel all the more earned.

In short, I love them all equally but some are currently more developed than others. However, don’t take this love as hesitancy to kill them off like certain writers.

A Hazbin Rewrite

So, I thought I’d have more to talk about as Hazbin Season 2 came out, however the Vees were obviously the main plot line. I have rewritten the Overlord system for The Damnedverse yet the Vees do not make major appearances in The Damned’s Endeavour. Instead, they are the main characters of a story completely surrounding the Overlords and politics of Hell — Trvst Us (place holder name).

So allow me to explain how these powerful demons work and how they become…

Overlords

There are only Seven Overlords in Hell at a time, each one representing a different Sin. They act as spokesmen, assistants and ambassadors of not only the Sin but the Ring they represent. Due to the Sins’ many relationship struggles, to keep a unified front to Hell, Lucifer decided each Ring would have an extremely influential Sinner represent them at public meetings.

The Seven Sins now only meet under extremely dire circumstances or personal desire to. This is also why a Sinner’s power is decided on how influential they are in death and how famous they were in life.

The process of how Overlords are chosen isn’t really easily explained as the Seven Sins just do what they want and can change their minds on a whim if they meet a Sinner they like.

Perks Overlords have over other Sinners, are the ability to make soul binding deals and owning souls. The other and arguably most important one is their immunity to Exterminations. That’s right, as soon as a soul ascends to the Overlord status, their bounty/bale is essentially paid off, taking them off of the Exorcists’ radars.

A Helluva Rewrite

So now that I have explained the logistics of Sinners, how they gain their forms, powers and items as well as Overlords and their new purpose in the Damnedverse I think it’s time to cover…

Soul Binding Deals (SBDs)

An SBD’s terms and conditions can only be made by an Overlord, with Overlords being the only type of human soul that is able to own another’s.

Of course, any type of Demon that is ranked above an Overlord (e.g. Sins, Ars Goetia and the children of Sins) can also make SBDs and own souls.

When a Sinner is owned by an Overlord, they will gain a physical trait they previously didn’t have. Each trait is unique to each Overlord, helping Sinners and other Overlords know which souls belongs to who. This helps reduce cross dealing, dual soul ownership and turf wars between Overlords.

I will explain what trait each Overlord has as I plan them and any souls they own.

Soooo! I’m finally making this.
