Okay so according to his wiki page, Lzet’s character and species is possibly based on Beelzebub. It’s one of the two things I base my headcanons for him on. When I was in the middle of responding to a roleplay, I was looking for biblical analogies to use since it was in a roleplay with @dramophcne and it actually got me to thinking...what is Beelzebub’s relationship with God? Everyone knows the story of Lucifier, but Beelzebub’s biblical adaptation is obscure or subjective to religion.
I happened to find an article of the characterization of Beelzebub and his relationship with god in Paradise Lost, a famous collection of Biblical poetry that’s considered highly influential and it’s very accurate to my roleplay with Ray’s Fumus.
Correspondingly, Satan becomes ambitious again and again and avers his future actions in his soliloquy
that God’s kingdom has been shaken by his attack and starts to think of what
future may come for him;
‘’
All is not lost; the unconquerable will, And study of revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield
’’
(Milton 1975:11)
Satan here basically becomes hopeful and shows his utmost persistence and self-confidence, believing that he has an unconquerable will that will never lead his submission to God. This will can be connected to the idea of seeing Satan as again a freedom fighter whose will are being attempted to be broken by God.
Beelzebub as Rational
Beelzebub, as being the lieutenant in Satan’s war, makes
conversations with Satan on
the previous war and the future actions. After his leader’s commitment on the continuity of
warring against God, he slightly differs from Satan and becomes a more reasonable character.
Whereas Satan is fearlessly wants to attack God, even though he will use more subtlety this time, Beelzebub isn't quite as eager to do so. Moreover, Beelzebub realizes that the mind and the spirit have returned and indeed "remain invincible":
‘’As far as gods and heav’nly essences
Can perish: for the mind and spirit remains Invincible, and vigor soon return
’’
(Milton 1975:12)
In this regard, Beelzebub seems to be more psychologically tormented than Satan or, more accurately "realistic" in his assessment of things. He now confesses that God is, in fact, the "Almighty" because;
‘’
Of force believe almighty, since no less
Than such could have o’erpow’red such force as ours’’
(Milton 1975:13)
Despite the fact that Satan sees God as an irrational, angry tyrant, Beelzebub is willing to recognize God as the Almighty, who has just won a battle.
"But what if he our Conqueror.... Have left us this our spirit and strength entire Strongly to suffer and support our pains, That we may so suffice his vengeful ire, Or do him mightier service as his thralls By right of War, whate'er his business be Here in the heart of Hell to work in Fire, Or do his Errands in the gloomy Deep.." (Milton 1975:12)
Beelzebub here puts forward his distinction from Satan, that he and Satan and the defeated angels are nothing more than God's thralls.
"What can it then avail though yet we feel Strength undiminisht, or eternal being To undergo eternal punishment?"
(Milton 1975:13)
Beelzebub here thinks differently from Satan who considered that their being of sound mind and strength is an advantage to them, eventually leading them to glory. Beelzebub says, through this rhetorical question, that it is of no advantage to have the strength undiminished, since God can use the strength any way God likes.
This is definitely going in my headcanons. It’s so strangely accurate that I can’t not put it in there. These are all character traits I have given Lzet in regards to Fumus, or in general and they fit so well.
I know it’s not canon, but it’s research for headcanons and I’m totally behind this.
