TSDOSF; THE DICHOTOMY

       ↳ one and one make one and one and one make one...

     ANGELS. Good (except when they’re not), honest (though sometimes they lie), light (on the surface, at least), gentle (and harsh and hard and-), pure (is what they say), kindness (is more of a suggestion), love (occasionally worth it), order (is what they bring, their purpose).      DEMONS. Evil (every now and then), lying (to survive), wrathful (sometimes - life is not easy down below), darkness (where they’ve made their home), corrupt (about as much as angels are), cruelty (frowned upon by many), hatred (of those up above), chaos (is life).

     SORROW FAIR is unfortunate proof that angels are not as perfect as those who worship them tend to believe. Bitter, sardonic and selfish, she doesn’t really care for the higher purpose, to be honest. The world is screwed up, and she’s just along for the ride. DAMIEN DREAR, on the other hand, is an embarrassing excuse for a demon. He’s weak, nervous and prone to disaster and his whole family absolutely hates him for it. And now a chance encounter between the worst ever angel (Sorrow) and the biggest failure of a demon (Damien) is about to chnage the holy/hellish dichotomy forever.

TSDOSF; SIDE CHARACTERS

        ↳ we’ve got good guys, bad guys & everything in between 

     The goddess. The lonely girl who started this mess (mostly), she only ever wanted a friend. Unfortunately, that friend ended up being the one measly mortal foolish - or perhaps brave - enough to abandon their life on the surface and seek a better fortune in the Underworld instead. Recruiting godwalker Sorrow Fair to retrieve the love of her life, the goddesss unknowingly throws herself into a fight set to tear the realms apart.      The prince of darkness. Otherwise known as Damien Drear, this diaster of a demon king’s son made the almost-fatal error of being captured by a terrible band of mercinaries. The bandits plan to put a price on his head - one he knows his father will not be willing to pay. It all turns around when he’s saved by a mysterious woman who refuses to even tell him her name. That woman? None other than our very own Sorrow Fair.       The half-dead human. Things aren’t going well for you on the surface. An unfortunate turn of events leaves you hunted and hated wherever you seem to go. So what do you do when the world turns its back on you? You go to hell, of course. For this one strong-hearted human, the only way up is down - down into the depths of the Underworld, where opportunities abound. Unfortunately, a certain angel is bent on bringing you home.      The king of death. The ruler of the Underworld is feeling fairly... unbothered, to be perfectly honest. He has his concerns, obviously - those righteous up-above dwellers are enough cause for worry, and one of his many idiot children has disappeared. But overall, things are going pretty well. That’s until a rebellious little godwalker decides to step foot in his domain, and wrangle that missing son of his up into the blossoming war as well.

➟  ‘TSDOSF’ for CAMP NANO APRIL ‘20

         ✣  An angel and a demon... it’s a terrible match. Sorrow Fair knows this, of course - she’s served the holy gods as a servant of souls for the past... oh, three thousand years, at least. Demons are to be avoided at all costs - they’re liars and cheats, never to be trusted. Just her luck to run into the one dweller of down-below, then, who has a chance of stealing her heart. Damien Drear is an idiot. He’s skittish and weasely and worse in battle than the gentlest young goddess. There’s just something about him...         ✣  ...and worse, now the whole universe wants her dead. Turns out there are consequences for turning your back on the natural order of things. There are four traitors to existence on the loose right now - an angel, a demon, a goddess, a human - and Sorrow Fair is one of them. In going down to hell, she’s died once already. The question is - is she willing to let it happen a second time?
