oogh thinks so much. Ev in this au is a lot more naive and happy-go-lucky due to him being pretty sheltered as an angel. Heaven is super strict when it comes to information, so learning about humanity and stuff is really interesting to him (he works as an errand guy/page; not the most glamorous or high-ranking job but he takes a lot of pride in it.)
the pen/sword still exists in this AU but it's a lot less important than in ev's main story. Might be spoiler-y to say so, but it's not necessarily a part of him as much as it is in NSA. If that makes sense.
Ev's agnosticism comes less from his disbelief in gods, but more so the belief that they're not all they're cracked up to be. "God" in this universe is kind of like a die, with multiple sides representing different interpretations and facets, but still an omnipresent deity. To keep things simple, it's mostly referred to as a singular entity, just going by "the universe."
I might make a chart or something for the hierarchy to make this bit more clear if I get into this au more. It's slowly becoming its own thing.
Anywho, as for Spamton, he's a typical crossroads demon, making deals and ensuring certain souls go downstairs. He used to be really good at it, though at a certain point he had some kind of revelation which made things go downhill. WInk wink.
At the moment, he secretly idolizes heaven while despising it simultaneously. After his numbers dropped, the deals he made became more and more nonsensical and.... bad. (e.g., where one would trade their soul for the winning lottery numbers, now they would have to trade their soul for a block of swiss cheese. Needless to say he doesn't get souls anymore.)
His search for information on heaven and divinity lands him in the path of a really dumb angel just trying to do his job. :]
