📖 demon doc au?
//Mun actually loves Demon and Angel AUs because of the whole morals debate and pushing to extremes of What is good and what is evil?
Either way, the first thing Mun does when toying with a demon is label them with a vice that generally encompasses that character. With Doc, three out of seven deadly sins jump to mind and they are Gluttony, Wrath, and Pride.
A common misconception with Gluttony is that is is associated with food. It can be but for Doc it would be his hunger for knowledge. Pushing boundaries and never being fully satisfied. He craves more. More tests. More answers. More variables.
Wrath I feel is obvious because of turn against Reinhardt. Doc loathes being underappreciated, undervalued, underestimated, overlooked, etc. These things push him to lash out in an extreme fashion instead of just talking it out and easing his pain. If he is forced to suffer then he will make those who did him dirty suffer twice as much.
Pride however is the vice I will choose for Doc. Technically all vices and virtues overlap a little but I feel he embodies pride the best of the three. Doc is a very proud person. He finds everything he does to be a marvel to some degree and lavishes in the praise it provides. He believes himself to be superior in many ways and to keep that title he will keep on educating himself and strike down anyone who challenges him.
But Mun does not believe in pure good and pure evil. So every demon has a virtue as well. (Besides, if we follow the Bible we learn demons are just angels who fell. And angels were made to be perfect and how can something be perfect and flawed?) Doc’s virtue would be Patience. He works hard for his goals which makes him seem like he leans towards Diligence but he is patient. He will wait for the answers but if he feels they will never come or someone is intentionally being difficult, he will start to lash out.
Forgive me for all that rambling and background information.
Doc would be the sort of demon to parade about as a human and encourage them to push the limitation to things. He would especially encourage those in scientific fields to do increasingly more unethical experiments and human trials. After all, the angels who fell were the ones that refused to praise humans and hated them. It’s annoying when people think the remaining angels in heaven hate humans when they were the ones cast into hell. This is a weird pet peeve of Mun’s but sure. Some up there have to dislike them as Mun believes in the exception rule.
Quick on his feet, Doc parades about as a scientist and generally messes with those who have power or the ability to sate his own curiosity. He is also known to trail the more average joe and encourage them to follow their impulsive thoughts. His kill count count and damnation record is quite high for a demon as small as him. Naturally he is proud of that.
Doc’s true form would be something akin to Fallen Junkrat’s but more like a living shadow mass. A nebula of black entangled with neon blue and white that is constantly shifting and crackles like electricity under his seemingly translucent skin. To kill him you would have to extinguish his essence which is a neon acidic green mass somewhere within his form commonly placed about where a human heart would be.
You can make a pact with him like you can any demon but I believe him to be a higher ranked one, in spite of his appearance. Butch Hog would be more fitting to what I suspect a high ranking demon to be and what people think of opposed to him but Doc can be swayed into deals. He can be summoned by ancient rites and he will fuck with your head to make it seem like you have power over him but unless you shake his hand and stated your terms clearly, he will actually own you.
That being said. Would you like to shake a poor sinner’s hand?~
