A is for:

Abaddon - also known as "The Dragon" to those in Hell. Someone to avoid like the plague. She's angry, she's dangerous, and someone like Hex ducked out of her path. Known as one of the Knights of Hell, she's one of the army leaders. She governs over the domain of Destruction. Once a lover to Lucifer when alive, it was birthing the Anti-Christ Belial that killed her. First class ticket to Hell, out of irony Lucifer named her Abaddon. One of Hell's biggest weapons, but the start of the Apocalypse.

Asmodai - Governing and ruling the ring of Lust. It was said he was there before Lucifer's fall. The man is surrounded by many stories that don't add up. Said to once having been a Gregory (Watcher) Angel. Though he has wings, they're not quite angelic. In truth, he is the Daedric Lord Sanguine, a winged Twilight created by Azura and given his very own spheres of Hedonism and Debauchery. The husband to Lilith, he fathers (most) of her children known as the Lilim. To Hex (the test tube abomination made from the blood of two men), he is "Mom" as an inside joke. The one who deemed supportive in the assumed incubus' life and gave him freedom with no set path ahead. The "cool" parent, as you will.

——————————————————————— (OOC: So, here's the game. Hex's ABC is going to be a collaboration of "All Things Hell" (which could be anything from people, aspects, things you'll find, etc.), his past, his experiences, and even some current. "Survival Guide For A Hellion" is basically what he's learned over 4 centuries...basically, how he's managed to survive.

Also, foreign names mentioned in any play or stories with Hex, here's a good way to reference who the hell he's talking about since....400 years is a lot of backstory to write and I'm a lazy bastard who hasn't gotten around to collecting all his things to bring here....still....shh.

Side note: Clearly, this is all fictional information (i.e. explanations of characters.) Keep that in mind.)

B is for:

Belial - "The Prince of Lies". The Antichrist. The son of Lucifer and Abaddon (while she was alive; what killed her.) Nearly unlimited power, to the point that not many know just how much. Legends of Hell say that in his triumph on Earth, he made it to Heaven's Gates. His reason for going to Heaven at all is unknown. Not belonging to Heaven, he was cast down by Heaven's Fury (Quistas). Legend also tells that in his fall back to Hell, he was turned into a gruesome beast that many of Earth's human depict as demons today. Horns, tail, humanoid yet monstrous body. As Lucifer's son, he's most like his father yet doesn't quite see it. Foremost: Don't believe a word he says. He turned lying into a masterpiece. Weaving webs upon webs, one can never tell when he's telling the truth. Even if he did, who would believe him"

Beelzebub - Also known as Bael and Ba'al. A fallen Gregory angel; he was a commander of the Watchers. In Hell, he's the archtype of Gluttony. Excessively indulging himself in nearly every vice known to man, even women. He's a glutton for punishment, his most well known vice. He commands an army of Drones, demons with minds more like robots (controlled by him). Known as Hell's "Frat Boy" or "Party Boy" and even "Abaddon's Punching Bag". Another fact about this fallen angel: he's their very own Doctor Frankenstein. How is he relevant to Hex" He created him. Having taken the blood of both Asmodai and Momos/Hircine, he used the means of a much stronger form of alchemy to create a successful humunculus; one with a soul. There were many that Bael had created, but Hex became close. In a third party perspective, "Uncle" Bael was more a brother and best friend to the abomination. One of the few most important people in Hex's life.

Aside from Gluttony, Bael is also known as "King of the Crossroads". A business man through and through. He has one of the largest armies through pure numbers (with exception to Legion). Contracts, deals aplenty.

Belphegor - Archdemon of Sloth. One of the first created demons. Known also as "The Bear" to many that fear him, as he can hold his own against Abaddon herself not only for his sheer power, but the roar that accompanies his rage like a war cry when he's pushed to the edge of his patience. Sluggish, lazy, he's known to Hell as the "Drug Dealer". (Sloth will be explained in more depth later. Keep an eye out for S!) Relevance to Hex? They had entire crew. What many disregard when they think of Hell is associations that can often be (as close as demons can get to) friendships. Hex, Bel, Hammon (will be explained in "H"; also the archdemon of Greed), Kokabiel (one of Hex's many sisters) and a few others. Through a scuffle that involved Kokabiel, Bel lost his control and killed Hammon. It's never been the same since.

C is for:

Cars — What is a hobby to others is something completely different to Hex. When you're constantly trying to fight what you are, the poisonous behaviors not only for yourself but for those around you, distractions are a must. It was his one ambition being a creature born of Lust (will be explained in depth in "L") that didn't leave him shuddering with regret. A passion' Perhaps.

In a more depth of meaning, his prized possession is his 1965 Cadillac Coupe deVille Convertible that he lovingly named "Baby". His first car, built from the frame up with Bael (his maker and explained in "B") who taught him everything he knows about cars. His favorite color, midnight blue, with a maroonish red interior that was kept in classic condition with absolutely no modern adjustments to keep it as vintage as possible. Very protective of that vehicle, Bael was the only one allowed to work on that vehicle until Saila helped him fix it after a very poor and impulsive decision to allow his baby "sister" Lenore drive it. He surely won't make that mistake twice!

His second favorite car is a Hot Rod Coach Jaguar XJ Hearse that he modified. A royal purple and black interior, touch screen stereo system with full recline seats, liquor-bottle sized cup holders and violet underglow lights. The exterior is a rather sparkly purple (of his gang's color) with custom decal he painted himself.

Charlie Washington— A criminal with hundreds of deaths on her hands, a fugitive and high on the "Most Wanted" list around the world on Earth.

An important woman in Hex's life for a multitude of reasons, even if they had a falling out less than a year ago and rarely speak to date. Friends and gang members together first for years, she was the gun maker/runner for The Saints. As well as a reckless and destructive partner in crime of whom they'd do publicity stunts and wipe out other gangs with, rob banks and various other nefarious things in said gang.

After years of friendship and knowing one another, Hex and Charlie got a bit more intimate than either expected. Starting out as a fling, only to turn far more serious when feelings for each other grew (little to his knowledge the reason for his "feelings" for Charlie were the works of Karma aka Nemesis of Greek Mythology who he might've unknowingly screwed over and decided to take her revenge on him by making the lusty "hit it and quit it" incubus fall in love with Charlie).

Married once against either's will after a joke of them singing a song on stage together (A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold), Erebus (of Greek Mythology associated with the Hellions) wed them playing the part of the pastor in the song. After ignorantly claiming "I Do" in the song, they were married. Neither ready for such a commitment, they were unnaturally terrible to each other for the short time they were married. Constant fighting, violence (a few times Hex got shot by Charlie's favored pistol called "The Maggie"; a 6 cylinder that sprayed bullets that would further break into shrapnal upon impact; made by one Charlie Washington), and an unexpected pregnancy. They had a particular love/hate relationship. They divorced soon after.

The mother of his daughter, Ridley (keep an eye out for "R"), who ultimately killed Charlie at birth and sent her to Hell to become a pride demon and Lilim (one of Lilith's followers upon death).

After time spent apart and a contantly bickering partnership in parenthood with Charlie, realization that he didn't want things to end between the two hit him. Putting the word out for all of Hell to come to one of Bael's parties, his intentions were meant to be good in not only exposing himself and showing that he didn't care what the others thought of him or his feelings for Charlie, he proposed to her publically....on stage after a song sang specifically for her. Charlie, thinking he was making fun of her (he had a reputation of pulling extreme pranks on people thanks to that terrible Spite) and got angry with him, telling him "no" in front of all to see. Which just happened to be all of their family, friends, gang members, Archtypes and demons associated between the two (including Abaddon). Out of humilation and the hurt of public rejection, he disappeared. Leading him to his life in Rhy'Din today.

To date, they have put their differences aside and made amends, both agreeing it best to move on yet remain civil for their daughter's sake. It's unknown if they'll ever be friends again.

————————————————————————— —— (Wasn't kidding when I said that 400 years was a lot to explain! I'd apologize for the length of explaination but...well, it was warned in the beginning. I will, however, apologize if the explainations are a bit rocky. He has a vast and lengthy timeline that makes it difficult to sum up in a few (or dozen) paragraphs, especially with his Baby Mama.)

D is for:

Daedric - (Recent) Something he's learning not only of himself, but a whole slew of confusing spirals that involve it. From what he's discovered; by "birthright" he's a full blooded Daedric Prince. What does that mean' Well, in a bit more depth, they're like demonic Gods. Primordial, before the beginning of mankind. His father Asmodai (as seen in "A") is known to these primordials as Sanguine (the Daedric Lord of Hedonism and Debauchery). The other coin to his blood is Momos; also known as Hircine (the Huntsman of the Daedric Lords; creator of Lycanthropy. Keep an eye out for his upcoming segment! It will explain him more.) Described as "demonic Gods" only for the fact that they are similarly split much like Heaven and Hell. It was Hex's way of understanding. Aspects governed by two different sides; the Divines and the Daedric Lords. Not to be mistaken, there is no "demonic" signature with the Daedric Lords. It's only a word association to better understand.

How is Hex a Daedric Lord" As most of the Daedric Lords' children were semi-Princes (think of it like a demi-God. Only partially Daedric), Hex being born by two full blooded Daedric Lords made him a pure blood. Basically, a Daedric Lord with no spheres (aspects they govern over). It wasn't until recently that one of the Daedric Lords, Mehrunes Dagon, was slain that a so-called "position" was open. Hermaeus (the Daedric Lord of Ancient Knowledge and Fate) destined Hex to be the replacement.

As the new Mehrunes Dagon, his spheres involve Ambition, Energy, Change, Revolution, and Destruction.

So far, that's all he knows and that's what he's struggling to understand. First, he's using his own spheres to work on himself. Without Spite forcing him to say and do things he didn't want to, he's now striving to be what he's always wanted to be. Getting himself on track first, that's when he'll take the next steps in his role as Mehrunes. After all, he IS considered a baby on their standards. He has a LOT to catch up on.

Destruction - Not so cut and dry as it would seem. A simple word, yet has far more depth than one would read into it.

A) Abaddon is the Arch-demon of Destruction in Hell. She was created not only as an army leader, a Knight of Hell. She governs over Destruction. Besides Lucifer, she is the one that has the power to destroy the other Archetypes. As that would seem to be a lot of power in a bitter, angry demon's hands, she's still under Lucifer's thumb.

Destruction is not only outspread. Though in her governed aspect she does more than enough to destroy outwardly, what many don't think about is Self Destruction. Each high position in Hell has proverbial backlash. Sloth suffers from Sloth, Gluttony is a gluttonous bastard who can't stop, Envy is envious to a fault, etc. Abaddon as Destruction is just as destructive to herself as she is to others. Cutting ties, burning bridges and being something to fear. There is no such thing as an alliance with the woman, as she'll likely stab you in the back the moment you turn away.

Though not one of the Seven Deadly, she is a notch beneath the totem pole of "known" archetypes. Self Destruction a common sin for one to go to Hell for. Also tying into the role as Destruction, she is the seal to the Apocalypse. Through her death, it brings on the ultimate destruction of mankind on Earth. (Something she's personally peeved at having to miss.)

B) In Hex's perspective, he has never understood Abaddon any more clearly. Yet...not. After learning his other spheres to govern over, it had kept him up many a night wondering how Destruction tied into energy, ambition, change and revolution. Possible fear of understanding Abaddon on a more intimate level than he would ever want to, it was put to rest when the answer came simply: through ruin comes growth anew. For Hex, it made it easier to understand it as a wild fire. Though a forest may end up turned to nothing but scorched ruin and ash; though lives may be taken in the midst; though there may be collateral that could cause dismay....it only wipes a slate clean to start fresh. Through the ash and ruin, new buds of life will sprout. New denizens would find home in that fresh forest.

And that, is the kind of Destruction he governs.

Two different sides of a coin, yet basic understanding. Where Abaddon is the ferocious Destroyer, who's intent is no where near good, a means to an end. And Hex, the means to a new beginning.

E is for Envy:

"Malice that cannot speak its name, cold-blooded but secret hostility, impotent desire, hidden rancor and spite—all cluster at the center of envy. Envy clouds thought," writes Joseph Epstein, "clobbers generosity, precludes any hope of serenity, and ends in shriveling the heart. Of the seven deadly sins," he concludes, "only envy is no fun at all."

In the Book of Genesis, it is said that Envy was the motivation for Cain to murder his brother, Abel. Jealousy of God's favor for Abel's sacrifice over his own.

"Envy is a sin of flesh. Envy is among the things that comes from the heart, defiling a person. The whole body is full of darkness when the eye, the lamp of body, is bad. He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished," said Solomon. "Envy ruins the body's health, making bones rot and prohibiting the inheritance of the kingdom of God. Sometimes, as a punishment, people are left in their sins, falling prey to envy and other heavy sins."

F is for Fallen Angel:

Fallen Angels - Angels who sinned and were cast from Heaven. Smoldering wings, cast past the planes of Earth into the depths of Hell. Not exactly chained as the bible claimed, they were however caged. The most commonly known Fallen Angel was Lucifer (look for "L" soon) but the others that Hex recall is Bael, Leviathon, Na'amah and Samael. Many angels periodically joined the Hellions, but we'll focus on those that Hex knows.

(Part 1)

G is For:

Gluttony - An over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth to the point of extravagance or waste.

"If you please and pamper your stomach, you will hurl yourself over the precipice of bodily impurity, into the fire of wrath and fury, you will coarsen and darken your mind, and in this way you will ruin your powers of attention and self-control, your sobriety and vigilance," said Nineteenth-century Russian Bishop Ignatius Brianchaninov.

St. Thomas Aquinas listed a five ways to commit gluttony: "Laute - eating food that is too luxurious, exotic, or costly Studiose - eating food that is excessive in quality (too daintily or elaborately prepared) Nimis - eating food that is excessive in quantity (too much) Praepropere - eating hastily (too soon or at an inappropriate time) Ardenter - eating greedily (too eagerly)"

"Pope Innocent XI has condemned the proposition which asserts that it is not a sin to eat or to drink from the sole motive of satisfying the palate. However, it is not a fault to feel pleasure in eating: for it is, generally speaking, impossible to eat without experiencing the delight which food naturally produces. But it is a defect to eat, like beasts, through the sole motive of sensual gratification, and without any reasonable object. Hence, the most delicious meats may be eaten without sin, if the motive be good and worthy of a rational creature; and, in taking the coarsest food through attachment to pleasure, there may be a fault," said St. Alphonsus Liguori when explaining Gluttony.

"Eat to live, not live to eat." - Socrates

(In our story, we include over-indulgence of sex as well. It's a very thin line between Lust. Over-indulgence not for the "perverted" gratification, but for the sake of indulging in the act for excessive purposes.)

(Part 2)

G is For:

Greed - (also called Avarice or Covetousness) is an insatiable longing to acquire wealth, status, and power more than one needs.

"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed." - Mahatma Gandhi

"It is a sin directly against one's neighbor, since one man cannot over-abound in external riches, without another man lacking them....it is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, inasmuch as man contemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things," said Medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas, in the Summa Theologiae, about Greed.

What makes Greed such a dangerous sin is the purpose behind it. Greed is not only a selfish sin of the mind, but dangerous to those surrounding as a greedy man or woman will stomp on those to achieve their "greatness". Dangerous also, in the fact that many of the Seven Deadly will often stem into others. Greed is a shoe in to Envy and Wrath.

H is For:

Harper - Third born Lilim to Asmodai and Lilith. A few millennia under her belt, Hex has taken to calling her an old hag for her seeming "grumpy" and "moody" demeanor. Teasing her frequently as only a younger half brother could, yet still maintained a closeness that came with both admiration and respect to the brutish older half-sister. Though Hex took after Asmodai by quite a bit, his style was inspired by the darker styled Lilim. With a rather lax "you do you? demeanor, the ancient warrior took after Lilith's individualistic mentality and rarely passed judgement onto others, all the while keeping the anti-social and "grumpy" personality from her father. Where she got her attitude, Lilith will claim she got it from her father and he'll claim the opposite. Really, it could've been the Spartan-Turned-Archdemon of Greed, Hammon. Or Amon, another Knight of Hell.

Her and Mynardi are the last of the original Lilim, the others having died from the onslaught of three Angels that tried to aggressively persuade Lilith to return to Eden, thus Adam.

Spending less time in Hell than her sisters, she was quick to leave and take on her own life. Often found in both Greece and Rome to fight in arenas, circling around and around in a never-ending mission to find the next challenge. She favored a rather massive Warhammer as her weapon, fashioned by Mynardi. Fit to both attack angels and demons alike.

Hammon - A Spartan in life, he became the Archdemon of Greed upon death. A twisted soul by Lucifer himself. He was loved by many in Hell, still maintaining a human personality though perhaps more than a bit greedy in wealth and power. He had a gold-digger wife, Saeki Ryuga, of which Bael stole from him. Only to turn his interests after to one of the Lilim, Kokabiel, who just so happened to have an interest in Belphegor. A fateful night, a party of the archetypes ended in blood when Kokabiel's flirtations with Bel triggers Hammon's jealousy and what started as a seemingly playful fight between the two best friends, became rougher and rougher until the Spartan took a far more serious approach to the scuffle. Against Bel's telling Hammon to stop, the "Bear" was unable to show weakness, thus beating Greed to death with his bare hands. Things were never the same for the crew again; Bael, Bel, Hex, Kokabiel; all of whom witnessed the merciless death of Hammy. A sore subject for all of them, Hammon is best not to be brought up. Especially to Belphegor.

—————————————————————- (Hammon is a reference to Mammon of Demonology. Don't ask why that's the only name that's been changed from the lore between myself and a partner's story...frankly, we have no clue lol. Also, thanks to Hammy's player for the aid with description and photos.)

I is for:

Incubus (and Succubus) - A race of Lust demon governed by Asmodai. A knock off from the more powerful "Nosferatu" (will be explained with "N") that he governs as Sanguine.

With yellow or amber irises, looking directly into an incubus or succubus' eyes has an incredibly heady or "mesmerizing" effect. A direct-eye-contact look from either will have one's sexual energy rising, giving them the urge to want to listen or do what the incubus/succubus tells them. Stronger beings may not be effected by the lesser demon's pull, though those susceptible may fall into the effect easily.

As they have the ability as demons to bridge the veil into Ethereal, they may enter dreams or cause hallucinations for what is called "Sexual Hallucinations". A very vivid, can't-tell-the-difference-between-what?s-real-an d-what?s-not dream. The effects remain the same...

They feed from the part of Lust that is "sexual energy". Not all of them have to actually act on the urges, able to simply be in a room full of sexually charged beings and feed from the energy in the room. Though many fall into the domain regardless.

Though common for an incubus or succubus to switch prey frequently, it's also common for them to stick to one "host" at a time. Seeming almost monogamous in their interactions with them until the prey is drained over a span of months or even years.

For most of Hex's life, lack of knowledge of his true being as a Daedric Lord had him believing he was an incubus.

Considering the evidence, it wasn't hard to believe. He has the "mesmerizing" eye contact. The sunglasses he always adorns isn't a stylish statement against popular belief, but a safe measure. He's never liked the "lack of challenge" that pull provides, or the feel of lacking consent that the pull may instill. Even around family and friends, you won't catch him without those trademark aviators, though he's grown rather fond of the fact he doesn't have to wear them around Saila who seems able to be barely effected by the "pull".

Besides the inconvenience of the eyes, the feeding-off-energy aspect seemed to be more evidence. Sexual energy seemed easiest, though now as he governs over Energy as a Daedric Lord, he's learning to hone the ability to feed off different forms instead of solely sexual.

Though he can put use of the "sexual hallucination" to use, he refuses to. As he'll claim "I'm not a demon, it doesn't feel right."

Though all fingers pointed to "Incubus" as his race, he's only come to a simple answer: being the son of Asmodai/Sanguine. Being a test-tube abomination is like tossing scraps of paper in a hat, scrambling them up and picking them out without any knowledge of what they are. Asmodai just happened to be where he got most of his traits from, thus the energy feeding and the eyes.

J is for:

Jynxx - A test-tube abomination creation made by Bael much like Hex was, created from the blood of Lilith and an angel, Quistas. (Heaven's Fury). She took after the Nosferatu traits (which are similar creatures to the succubi, will be explained in more depth in "N"). She's an energy feeder like Hex, but her eyes are a baby blue. There's more than meets the eye with this one, as what?s well-known about her may or may not be the truth.

Often joked about Jynxx being "dead inside" from her nearly sociopathic behaviors and mannerisms. She's the protective kind of family behind-the-scenes, not letting those know that she's watching their backs or what she does in order to do so, which ultimately leads her further down the so-called "dead inside" sociopathy.

Trained by Abaddon in both battle and mentality, she's a force to be reckoned with. With Quistas' "Fury", she's a powerful entity who gained Lilith's scorn factor, difficult to be stopped when her anger is triggered. To Hex, she was his step-sister who he didn't quite see as family. The two were close, Jynxx able to put up with his spiteful and destructive attitude to those around him. Both being test-tube abominations, they understood each other. Hex was the only person allowed to be "affectionate" with her, and it wasn't until recently that the reason was known. (Seriously, I'm not going to explain it. She's his step-sister and they both grew up in Hell. Use your smarts and put two and two together...Not something he's wholly proud of, alright' Yet doesn't really regret, either.)

To date, they aren't speaking.

Jill - Where to even start' Still a human, she's become Chronos' Champion of Time. As a time mage, she has the ability to manipulative time and space, able to move through past, present, and future timelines to see what has/will/is happening in a third party perspective. She can stop time.

She was simply a strange human out of a group of 5 that became associated with Hell, one that grew on the Hellions over time, some more than others. She might as well be called a "human cat" with the way she acts, in fact Kokabiel grew rather attached to this one as her own personal "House Cat". Besides skittering into vents or acting like everyone's favorite little creep with how she'd often set up cameras in the Hellions homes and her obsession with taking Polaroid photos of everyone for reasons no one really knows about....

She became a very close friend to Hex. Taking his spiteful or vindictive nature in stride, she saw through his exterior monster and could read past his toxic words to the guy beneath the hateful mask. She understood him better than most, and...was probably the only known girl to go from "sleeping with" status to "bro" status. No romantic attachments with this one, however. He was just an "experiment" for the "confused" human. Still great friends, she's helped him more than he might ever really know with her ability to jump through time. This is one little creep that Hex doubts he's ever going to be able to get rid of, not that he'd really want to.

————————————————————————— ——————————— (Explanations may be a bit rusty. Mun is coming out of 'sickly' status, so....only partial brain capacity as it stands. Thanks for the patience, though!

Also, a thanks of course to the help of Jill and Jynxx's mun for aid of photos and whatnot. And also for creating one of my personal favorite little creeps <3)

K is for:

Kokabiel - The youngest daughter of Lilith and Asmodai, she's only a 4 years younger than Jynxx herself, leaving the two at the closest age than any of the others who are set apart by centuries. For most of her life, all of Hell had Kokabiel believing that Lucifer was her father. Now, she knows who her true father is and the reasons for them making her belief differently isn't all that clear to her.

After centuries of a poor romantic life and bad luck, she gained the title of "Angel of Seduction". Hex isn't all that clear how that came to be, though many find the irony in how she isn't exactly an angel. All of Asmodai's children have the "Winged Twilight" trait. A strain of Daedra (of which Asmodai is) that has similarities with angels but aren't divine. The biggest way to tell the difference is in the wings. Both feathered, but the texture and pattern is different. The colors holds more of an opalescent shine than pure white like angel wings. Some may, in fact, look more like hawk wings. Out of the Lilim, she was the one that took more to the human mentality. Thinking and acting as a human like her mother, living a human's life was what she wanted the most. She spent her multiple lifetimes interacting with humans, walking among them and even went as far as going to various colleges to gain degree after degree. Some of Hell claimed she was bored, while those that knew differently knew that she just couldn't get enough of the humans and their lives. Asmodai knew a different tale, one that him and all his children dealt with: Ambition. She became a lawyer, a top surgeon in three different countries, a successful therapist, and she owns a line of Burlesque Clubs in a number of locations; L.A., New York, Chicago, Atlanta.

In Hell, she befriended numerous amounts of demons and even the Archetypes. There's a particular aspect for Kokabiel: she's tactical, but doesn't know it. There's a disconnect between her subconscious and conscious, where her intuition and tactical mindset isn't realized. Instinct driving her to take certain paths without any real knowledge of why, Abaddon was the one to catch onto that and she refuses to become one of the big wigs Kokabiel "collects". Those that don't see it that way, however...Is the Archetype of Envy (Leviathon), Archdemon of Sloth (Belphegor), Bael, Hammon (which...didn't end well, as stated in his section). She's remained close to Lucifer after the centuries spent thinking she was his daughter. She managed to become to both Helez and Belial (the only one able to, as you get either one or the other, not both as an ally). Her best friend is Aim, a dangerous Duke of Hell who's threat is downplayed significantly by his commonly known title of "Gossip Queen". He knows the ins and outs of Hell, secrets that shouldn't be known and has told Kokabiel, the only one that genuinely befriended him. An effective spy, or would be if Kokabiel's conscious not understanding her intuition and remaining "innocent" in her mentality to befriend him.

She was the one that babysat Hex as a child, and the one that he terrorized relentlessly. She'll claim babysitting him is the reason she doesn't want to have children. But she does have a daughter. Picked out of a handful, an alpha Djinn by the name of Vashti chose Kokabiel as a surrogate for Bael's test-tube abomination creations. Much like he'd made Hex and Jynxx, he created a powerful entity by the name of "Bo". The markings of Djinn, elemental wings from the traits she gained from Kokabiel. For whatever reason, Bo refuses to acknowledge Kokabiel as her mother, even against Vashti's attempt to reason with her.

All in all, while many seem to love the rambling hot mess that is the Angel of Seduction, she's someone who Hex has been avoiding since his arrival in Rhy'Din. Deep down he may love his older half-sister, but he just sees her as overbearing and too emotional for his taste. When him and Charlie split, she wanted to be a therapist for him while he wanted to swallow it down and move on. He's been in Rhy'Din over 8 months....and she still hasn't found him. He finds it utterly amusing.

————————————————————————- (Thanks for reaching the end! Kokabiel is actually my first character ever created....almost 10 years ago. So thanks for the patience of reading what?s there as it is. There's so much more, but it would take a novel to get to the sole point of Kokabiel. Maybe it would've been easier to make an ABC for Kokabiel. )

(Warning: Long post)

L is for:

Leviathon - Archetype of Envy. Often forgotten that he's a fallen angel. He claims he fell because "everyone else was doing it so he wanted to as well" but it's uncertain if that's true or not. Knowing Levi....it's not exactly out of line for him. He's somewhat of a joke in Hell, even being an archetype, as he's often a punching bag and mostly just an annoyance. He craves attention whether it's positive or negative, finding just about any way to get it. Only a few know the "real deal" with this guy, Kokabiel being one of them. But out of all the archetypes, it's Levi that Lucifer kept a steady eye on and stayed one step ahead to avoid being usurped from the throne.

Lilith - (Lilith is the demonization of her name, her original name is Ardat Lilitu) The first human, Adam came second and became her "husband" soon after. Believing woman was below man, Lilith got fed up with it and left him. After he whined to God about Lilith's so-called "abandonment", God instructed three angels to persuade Lilith to come back to Eden. Leaving instructions vague and the angels taking the words too literal, when Lilith refused to return to Adam, they tried to use force. "We will kill 100 of your children a day until you return to Eden." The scornful woman refused to bend to their threats. The angels followed through with that promise. Only to be slain for their terrible deeds against Lilith and her children by Ba'al (Bael/Beelzebub) before the fall, he was ordered to be her Guardian ("The Watchers", also known as Gregory angels.)

Lilith wandered the Earth with Bael for a few centuries until his undeserving fall that sent him to Hell. Alone, it wasn't long until she met her current husband, Asmodai and had children. The two still remaining from the originals, Mynardi and Harper.

When Asmodai's business brought him to Hell as well, soon to become the Archetype of Lust, Lilith wandered alone yet again.

It wasn't until the times where witches began to be burned at the stake that things turned south for Lil. With her extraordinary regeneration ability, other humans took notice and claimed witchcraft. Strung up on a plank, it was Bael that saved her, showing his scorched wings to the humans and Lilith alike. None of them survived. After that, Bael decided to take matters into his own hands and it wasn't until a conversation had with Lucifer that it was suggested it was time for the first human to be taken from human society as it was no longer safe for her. Lucifer himself suggesting that Lilith be brought to Hell and he'd see to it that she would have safety in his home. Surprised, but not arguing, Bael brought Lilith to Hell. Where she's been ever since.

Through her time spent in Hell, Lilith had more children. All of which raised by a Hellish folk that Lilith grew to know as family, namely Bael and Asmodai.

Other facts about Lilith: she's destined to be the last living human; when she was created, God gave her knowledge of what has and will come to pass, leaving her to not only know about things that hadn't/haven't happened yet but understanding the hows and whys. She has regenerative abilities to the extent that fatal wounds won't kill her, though she feels the pain no less. She still hates Adam to this day, nothing says "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" like Lilith herself.

Lilith is the root of individualism. Approaching everything in a matronly manner, she is still human regardless of the humans' demonization of her. She forgives them, as she believes that religion is merely opinion. To others, she's a pagan Goddess. Worshiped and looked up to. Those that follow her and die become "Lilim" just like her born children, whom she accepts as such all the same. Loving, caring, she can be scornful should a reason present itself.

Lucifer - (Also known as "The Bearer of Light" and "Morning Star")Where Lilith was supposedly the root of individualism by how she turned against Adam, Lucifer was the root of all sin. Namely, Pride is the root of all sin. The sin he had well before his Fall From Heaven. Before claiming the Throne of Pride, thus the Throne of Hell, he was the second angelic son of God. A powerful Archangel (Seraph), one that could rival Michael, it was when the humans came into play that riled that Prideful beast inside the angel. He waged war in Heaven to try to steal God's own throne. (The reason why, at least in my story, will be released on forums soon enough. No spoilers, sorry!) He rose his own army, nearly splitting Heaven in half with his persuasiveness with the angels and those that agreed with him, followed. Michael thought differently, and defended the throne, as well as Heaven, and beat Lucifer. Punishment of his sinful actions was plummeting from Heaven into Hell, joining Bael, Samael, Na'amah, Leviathon and Azazel.

Soon after his arrival in Hell, it was then that he found the throne of Hell and took it for himself, gaining control over the others through the power of the Throne.

(As I'm not going to go into detail as it'll be written about eventually...) The rest is history. He built Hell from the ground up, giving his fellow brethren jobs and soon making demons out of the souls of humans, twisting them into his own soldiers and minions. He did exactly what he wanted to do in Heaven: rule a kingdom and have others serve him. One of those humans he demonized was Abaddon, who birthed his son Belial. He doesn't tell anyone who was the mother of his little princess, Helez.

The rulebook states that Lucifer isn't allowed on Earth's plane until Abaddon (The Seal) is killed, springing Lucifer free and starting the apocalypse, Judgment Day. The day that Michael and Lucifer are destined to fight again. Unfortunately, it's relatively clear that Lucifer doesn't follow the rules. He never had, being the first angel with a mind fully of his own. The Rebellious Son. He managed to escape Hell through ways he's keeping tight-lipped and though he roamed Earth for a while, he soon found Rhy'Din where he's finding amusement in exploring.

Why' Well, don't want to spoil all the fun, now....do we?

————————————————————————— ————- (I warned you it was long. Summing up so much history in a little post is....damn near impossible. Thanks for reaching the end if you did, though! Appreciate it. Again, just a reminder that this is mine and my partners' rendition/interpretation of these people. Also, a thank you to Levi's player for aid with photo choosing and whatnot.)

(Post #2; Seven Deadly.)

L is also for:

Lust - "an emotion or feeling of intense desire in the body. It can take any form such as the lust for sex, for expensive objects (extravagance) or the lust for power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food as distinct from the need for food."

Aside from Christianity, Lust is also a cardinal sin in Buddhism as well. Named second of the Four Noble Truths, which are:

1. Suffering (dukkha) is inherent in all life. 2. Suffering is caused by lust. 3. There is a natural way to eliminate all suffering from one's life. 4. The Noble Eightfold Path is that way.

"Lust is the clinging to, attachment to, identification with, and passionate desire for certain things in existence, all of which relate to the form, sensation, perception, mentality, and consciousness that certain combinations of these things engender within us. Lust is thus the ultimate cause of general imperfection and the most immediate root cause of a certain suffering."

In Christianity, however, Lust is a complex perception. Many believe lust to simply be carnal, "wrong", "perverse", "fetishism" form of sexual desire, but the term 'lust' is a general term for 'desire'. And as the term is used in the lexicon in phrases not talking about sexual desire, it's lead to believe it holds a much broader spectrum. For example:

"You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house or his field or his male slave or his female slave or his ox or his draft animal or any animal of his or whatever belongs to your neighbor. (Exodus 20:17, New English Translation of the Septuagint)"

"Lust is considered by Catholicism to be a disordered desire for sexual pleasure, where sexual pleasure is "sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes". In Catholicism, sexual desire in itself is good, and is considered part of God's plan for humanity. However, when sexual desire is separated from God's love, it becomes disordered and self-seeking. This is seen as lust."

In the medieval times: "Medieval prostitutes lived officially sanctioned in "red light districts." In the book, Common Women, by Ruth Mazo Karras, she discusses the meaning of prostitution and how people thought the proper use of prostitutes by unmarried men helped contain male lust. Prostitution was thought of as having a beneficial effect by reducing the sexual frustration in the community."

All that being said, mine and another writer's interpretation of this sin, we also put into accountability..."ambition". A deeper meaning that I've personally portrayed with Hex. His inability to control himself when someone presents a challenge to him, it "absolutely has to be completed". Should a challenge be presented to him and he does manage to restrain himself, it becomes a plague on his mind and causes further lust or desire to complete the task. And should control be lost, completing it at all costs. Doesn't sound too bad, right' Well, what if someone got in his way' Would he plow through them to complete the challenge, regardless of consequence? It's a high possibility in this example.

Adding a bit more depth to the meaning of Lust, our point is this: anything in excess isn't good. From what we've researched, read, and explored into the Seven Deadly Sins, they all tie together and the lines become very thin. One branches to others, which branches to others, all rooted from Pride, etc. Lust has a thin line between all we've figured out: rooted from Pride to begin with, it can easily fall into Envy (should someone else have what is desired), Greed (should you wish to take it from them), Wrath (should someone try to prevent you or get in your way of getting what you desire), Gluttony (falling into gluttonous behaviors with what you desire; i.e. lustful excess), Sloth (when it becomes a hindrance on you and others.) And, voila.

Though I'm not personally religious, I've always found the intricateness of the Seven Deadly Sins and finding ways of how they tie together to be interesting. Or maybe I'm just reading too far into it and overanalyzing. Who knows!

M is for:

Momos - Renowned in Greece as Momos, the pinacle of blame, spite, unfair criticism, satire and mockery. Kicked out of Olympus for mocking the Gods, it was a development he wasn't all that upset about. He's the other half besides Asmodai who's blood created the test-tube abomination, Hex. He's also where Hex's Spiteful nature comes from, what he used to call his own "beast" before the Daedric in him "woke up" and had that beast running with it's tail tucked.

To the Daedric Lords, he's known as Hircine. "The Huntsman of the Princes" and "Father of Manbeasts" are two of his titles. His spheres (aspects the Daedric Lords govern over) as include "the hunt, the sports of the Daedra"; "the greatest game, chase and sacrifice of the mortals." His realm is called The Hunting Grounds (known to others as Purgatory) where the Father of Therianthropy (Were-beasts, not just wolves) claims his home. Alpha of Alphas, he takes a fatherly approach to his were-beasts. Though a lycanthrope himself, his bite is a bit of a wild card, with no diffinitive expectation of what the beast would be.

A family man, he does have a wife. A Winged Twilight (simplified: Daedric Angels) renowned with her title of Heaven's Fury, Quistas. He has three blood-children; Hex (dual-fathered with Asmodai/Sanguine), Lulu (Alpha Were-Bear, mother is Quistas) and Dequan (Alpha Were-Bear of different species; mother is Quistas). Hex has no knowledge that Lulu and Dequan are of blood-relation to him, when they call Hircine "father" or "Dad", he thinks it to be simply for the fact that Hircine is Father of the Were-Beasts. Hex's ignorance to that fact just tickles the mockery god pink, frankly.

To Hex, he was the more stern father of the two. Unlike Asmodai who approaches parental responsibility with loose reigns and the "you do you? mentality, Hircine tried his best to prepare Hex for his upcoming role as Daedric Lord. As his spheres and renowned aspects of Spite and Mockery tend to get the best of him, he might not have taken the best approach with his fatherly duties and often just came off as an ass to Hex. Best interest in mind, his methods weren't exactly great.

(Links to more information on Momos/Hircine here.)

Mynardi - By far the closest sister Hex has ever had and known. Always in the big guy's corner, she supported him in every turn.

Understanding him on a level that none other (even blowing Harper out of the water) possibly could, she became the one that Hex looked up to the most. A fierce warrior, she was a commander of their father Asmodai's armies. Rather balanced between the blood of Asmodai and Lilith, she's level-headed and intelligent, with great understanding and patience for others around her. Though she did pick up her father's alcoholism and anti-social behaviors, rarely seen without a drink in hand. She's a busy-body. Her ambitious nature driving her to unhealthy levels of being a workaholic. It wasn't surprising for her sisters to not see her for years at a time (even though they were right there in Hell.)

Being the oldest Lilim of Lilith and Asmodai's children, she was there since the beginning of it all, even before Harper. The angels' assault on Lilith, the death of her siblings.

She was trained by both Asmodai (a rare occurance) and Hypnos/Jyggalag (a nearly impossible occurrence; it might've helped that they had a fling; also seen in photo in the set) A rival to Harper, she was the only one that could not only keep up with Harper's ambitious warrior instincts, but push past it tremendously. Though still partially human by Lilith's blood, she's greatly known as "dangerous" in Hell. Perhaps also for the fact that she's one of the only weaponsmiths that can fashion angel blades outside of Heaven. She was the one to make Harper's Warhammer, Kokabiel's Sai's and if Hex hadn't mostly used his fists, she likely would've made him something as well.

She's also the only sister that Hex has built a car for from scratch, trusting fully that she would take care of it. (Seen in photos on set.) Her residence is in the most dangerous part of Lust.

N is for:

Nemesis - Known to the Greeks as Divine Retribution and revenge. It's no joke when it's said "Karma is a bitch". She really is.

Hex had a bad vindictive and spiteful streak in him before Nemesis got a hold of him. Often sleeping with women and ignoring their existence to the point that they could be speaking directly to him and he would act as if they weren't there. Even as soon the very next morning, if he stayed that long. It reached a point where it became his reputation and drew Retribution's attention.

After one very intoxicated night, he unwittingly slept with Nemesis without realization of who she was. A test by Karma herself, he failed horribly when he refused to speak to her the next morning. Proving that Karma wasn't one to be ignored, it was her work that had the "hit it and quit it" spiteful incubus falling in love and knocking up Charlie Washington.

She's been keeping a sharp eye on him, though seems content with his current change of tune. But just because he's off her list doesn't mean that he isn't on her radar.

Nosferatu - No, I'm not talking about that terrible black and white vampire movie.

Nosferatu is the daedric version of the succubi and incubi. Perhaps considered the overpowered version, made by Asmodai/Sanguine. Unlike the succubi/incubi who's pull is in their eyes, they have a natural AoE pull. Their personality, their presence. You can often tell when a Nosferatu is young from the way their energy pull fluctuates, where a mature Nosferatu can control it at will, directed generally or directly to one or more people. Not just tied to Lust or sexual desire, they are pleasers in general.

They give you what you want, creation your very own version of perfection. Should it be in a person, a life, your surroundings. They'll enable and grant you anything you want until you don't want it anymore, but it doesn't stop there. Your desires turned into torture, a curse.

E.i.: Should a female Nosferatu prey on a man, they'll be exactly what he wants. His very own dream girl....only to become a nightmare he can't get rid of.

They're the pinnacle of 'be careful what you wish for', like Djinn except they ARE the wish gone bad.

O is for:

Oizys - What Hex knew about this woman was what his father told him and what he discovered for himself. Revered as a Goddess of Misery by the Greeks, she's Momos' twin sister. To the Daedra, she is a dangerous woman: Vaermina. The Daedric Lord of Terror and Nightmares. When they claim "Misery loves it's company", they weren't kidding. Collecting the worst people whom she keeps an almost uncomfortably intimate relationship with. Hex never met them personally, though he'd seen them in passing: a ginormous man that made Hex feel small that she kept as her guardian, a man she called "The Doctor" who wore a Bubonic Plague mask, a Nazi soldier, an unsettling marionette nurse. And more recently, her favorite and current beau, Sawyer Masterson who was constantly setting off Hex's red alarms, and with good reason. She made Hell feel like a box of puppies, the miserable and ominous air that seemed to surround her at all times.

Hex never quite understood why the others would turn their heads when her name was mentioned, paranoid that she was going to show up. Like Nemesis, she wasn't one that you wanted after you. To Hex, she'd been nothing less than his Aunt and someone who'd always been a bit sweet on him. Though considering his constant internal battle with himself, it was no wonder the Goddess of Misery was on such good terms with him.

Owls - No real relevance to Hex, but it was requested to let it be known: "Owls are awesome." - Keirra Owens

P is for:

Pride- "It was Pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels." - St. Augustine

The Father of All Sins.

"Of the seven deadly sins, pride is the only one with a virtuous side. It is certainly a good thing to have pride in one's country, in one's community, in oneself. But taken too far can lead one to the seven deadly sins."

Considered to be the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins: the perversion of the faculties that make humans more like God; dignity and holiness. Known also as hubris or futility, it is identified as dangerously corrupt selfishness, the putting of one's own desires, urges, wants and whims before the welfare of people.

It is also irrationally believing that one is essentially and necessarily better, superior, or more important than others. Failing to acknowledge the accomplishments of others, and excessive admiration of personal image or self (especially forgetting one's own lack of divinity, and refusing to acknowledge one's own limits, faults or wrongs as a human being.)

C.S. Lewis writes in 'Mere Christianity', "Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind."

Jonathon Edwards said, "remember that pride is the worst viper that is in the heart, the greatest disturber of the soul's peace and sweet communion with Christ; it was the first sin that ever was, and lies lowest in the foundation of Satan's whole building, and is the most difficultly rooted out, and is the most hidden, secret and deceitful of all lusts, and often creeps in, insensibly, into the midst of religion and sometimes under the disguise of humility."

**********************

In our story, all of that is correct. The Throne of Hell also resides in the Ring of Pride, where Lucifer claims "home". To sit on the Throne of Pride is to rule all of the rings of Hell and thus, be "King".

********************** What the weak head with strongest bias rules, Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools. ? Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism, line 203.

Q is for:

Quistis:

A Winged Twilight (Daedric Angel), she plays the role of Heaven's Fury. A magical powerhouse, she's not someone you want to make angry. Her "Fury" was something feared by many.

Momos/Hircine's first and only crush, only to become his mate and wife later after they became a team in stopping Diablo's attack on Heaven.

She's the mother of Lulu and Dequan, and the other half of the test-tube abomination Jynxx (the other half being Lilith). As Hircine's wife, she played a motherly role in Hex's life. The only one able to trigger guilt in the spiteful and vindictive abomination, the 'disciplining' was done by her. The only real threat that Hircine could lay on Hex: "Do I need to bring you to Quistis?" It was a sure-fire way to make the big guy shut his trap.

Loving, sweet, powerful. Wit and quip to rival her husband, and an attitude that made him fall in love with her. Unfortunately she's always busy considering her major role in Heaven.

R is for:

Ridley - Daughter of Hex and Charlie.

This kid....virtually makes no sense considering who her parents are. Taking little traits from either, other than some physical similarities in appearance to her father, she's an angel spawned from a fugitive criminal and a spiteful gang banger. Where her parents are gun-toting criminals who live nefarious lives, she's sweet and kind with morals and virtues. As close to an angel as she could get without literally being one, it's often questioned how she could possibly be the two's daughter.

Though quite angelic in her behaviors, she's been her parents rock with her attempts to keep them out of trouble. If their guns went missing, they knew who hid them. Fast hands that would swipe Hex's gun from the back of his jeans without him even noticing until it was too late.

Taking after not Hex or Charlie, she does have some lineage taken from her grandfather, Asmodai. She has wings, specifically that of a Winged Twilight.

Hex's very own pride and joy, and also his biggest fear. Though he didn't shy away from his parental responsibilities (even if he didn't do the best job at it), there was always that worry of his influence not being good for her. Regrettably, his disappearance impacted Ridley and something that he's rather ashamed of to this day. Stuck between thoughts of "it's better this way" and well, disappearing...He still keeps in contact through phone calls and text messages. She plays a major role in his want to change for the better, working harder than he ever has to be something she could be proud of....and not something toxic for her to be around.

Aside from that, Ridley's best friend just so happens to be Murphy (as seen in photo). A leprechaun that...just about everyone (in our story) knows, as he is a fence. Everyone's "go to guy" to get things that others can't, get into places others can't (including realms). He just so happens to be the beau of Harlee....Hex's second daughter that no one knows about, not even Ridley or Murphy. So, it's basically a crap storm waiting to happen.

S is for:

Sloth -

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of. - Benjamin Franklin

"Sloth is the desire for ease, even at the expense of doing the known will of God. Whatever we do in life requires effort. Everything we do is to be a means of salvation. The slothful person is unwilling to do what God wants because of the effort it takes to do it. Sloth becomes a sin when it slows down and even brings to a halt the energy we must expend in using the means to salvation." - Pocket Catholic Catechism

"It is the most difficult sin to define, and to credit as sin, since it refers to a peculiar jumble of notions, dating from antiquity and including mental, spiritual, pathological, and physical states."

Mentally, there are a number of distinct components: such as affectlessness, a lack of feeling about self or other, a mind-state that gives rise to boredom, rancor, apathy and a passive inert or sluggish mentation.

Physically: fundamentally associated with a cessation of motion and an indifference to work; laziness, idleness and indolence.

Unlike the other capital sins, which are sins of committing immorality, sloth is a sin of omitting responsibilities.

Emotionally: a lack of any feeling for the world, the people in it, or for the self. Alienation and isolation of self from the world.

Sloth not only subverts the livelihood of the body, taking no care for its day-to-day provisions, but also slows down the mind,halting its attention to matters of great importance. Sloth hinders the man in his righteous undertakings and thus becomes a terrible source of human's undoing.

———————————————————————- Putting aside the technicalities, we've (myself and writing partners) summed it up as simply as we could: Hindrance.

Some things that may aid "hindrance" and lead to the slippery slope of Sloth: alcoholism, depression, drugs (especially for the sake of feeling 'numb'), other mental disorders that aid to the attributes of sloth.

S is for:

Samael - "The Beast", "The Devil", "Satan". The man that Lucifer is often mistaken for. Once an Angel in Heaven, the Archangel of Death. He's the one who corrupted Eve into eating the apple, driving her to convince Adam to fall to the same fate. He became Hell's Wrath, his own cardinal sin. Castrated when fallen, Lucifer added insult to injury when he tore Samael's wings from his back during a battle between the big guy and Bael. The result of his wings torn from his back brought to the knees of mortality, and Lucifer took advantage of the opportunity to turn him into a demon. The first and only known angel to become one.

He gained 3 "wives", one of which was another angel that had fallen among the others, Na'amah. The other two, Eisheth Cenunim (a demon) and Agrat Bat Mahlat (another fallen angel; a seraph to be exact). The last two are currently deceased, Eisheth was an attention wh*** of the highest caliber while Agrat was a wicked and conniving wench who was just a tad too obsessed with the Wrath Archdemon. Na'amah disappeared during the fight between Bael and Samael, of which Bael helped her escape as she wasn't a willing wife of Samael after he'd changed into a terrible beast.

Currently, Samael is deceased in the story. But who knows what could come of the future....

Saints - What started as a biker gang between Hex and Bael, became something much more when they invested time, money, and talents into a crappy gang that originated in Los Angeles. With the Hellion's help, they branched and organized into a mafia-style/biker gang spread out across the United States. (Description is going to remain vague as the backstory is going to be written out at some point.)

Spite - An aspect that was shared through blood from Momos to Hex. Formed much like a disorder that disconnected his brain from his mouth, he would often say and do terrible things against his true wants. A dark and sinister-like cackle would come from him during any situation involving someone else that would be deemed as "spiteful" by the Hellion. And also one of his "tells". It was the defining factor that warped the Incubus' reputation as an awful person.

Currently, his spiteful nature lies dormant thanks to the Daedric Lord that woke up and forced the spiteful beast in him to run with it's tail tucked. So far, he can say and do what he really thinks/wants. Though the future remains a mystery on if it will ever return.

S is for:

Saila - What started as a casual fling between two abominations grew into something more than either had expected. One of his biggest supporters of the "new man" he's becoming, she's been there through his biggest changes. From his attempt to overcome his spiteful and often hateful nature, to his constant attempt of trying to understand what this "Daedric thing" is now.

A woman with a difficult and rocky past, her ability to see through the exterior to that little Island of Real Hex, it's safe to say she very well may be someone that understands him the most...perhaps even more than he understands himself.

A lover, a best friend, and his "Old Lady" (perhaps a term she's still trying to figure out, and rather ironic), the long-legged vixen has opened his eyes and flipped his world in one of the best ways possible.

April 22, 2016 - Current; still going strong.
