Introducing… Angel Dust, the First Client!
Born July 25th, 1908 in Queens, New York
Died January 7th, 1945 (Age 34)
Was a part of the mob (along with his male family members)
Well-liked among the working-class of his community
His parent’s favorite, and kinda like a mini-me for the both of them
Dropped out of school at 14 to work under his dad
Developed an amphetamine addiction as his mother encouraged him to do uppers with her
Good-looking, charming, flirty, and friendly fellow
His brother eventually found letter exchanges between him and a male lover, and subsequently outed him to their parents. This caused them to kick him out and ostracize him.
After being kicked out, Andy went on a long bender to try and drown out his problems with speed and booze, ending in his death of an overdose.
After he died, Andy started offering out services like robberies, attacks, and sexual favors in exchange for alcohol and drugs
In the 1970s, he met Valentino: a washed up movie producer who was a repeat customer of his
they got high and went on benders together frequently
they ended up dating foe a while
Val eventually got in good with a leading overlord (Vox), and ended up convincing Andy for partial ownership of his soul in promise of stardom
this was a decision Andy learned to regret, as he was now tied to Val, who ended up being much worse of a person than he first led on to be, and it didn’t seem like he was planning on giving his soul back any time soon.
Andy, or his stage name Angel Dust, is currently a famous actor and sex symbol in Hell, but off the hours, he continues to sell his body for cash, booze, and drugs
Another member of the main gang done!
With canon Angel, I had a lot of gripes with how he’s portrayed. He acts and dresses like a teenager even though hes supposed to be around 120 years old, no elements of his time period and mafia connections show through in his character, and his abuse is treated for laughs! Its ridiculous.
My original redesign for him had him looking like. Well, just a fuzzy dude, so I gave him a more spider-like head.
I wanted to delve more into how a lot of mafia syndicates were well-liked and well-respected among the people of their communities, especially the working class, like a “oh yeah they help us up and give us jobs and booze, but dont double cross them” kinda thing. I wanna say Andy and his father were very well-liked among their community and many people gave him freebies like booze and smokes just outta respect for him.
His father was a second-generation immigrant from Italy, and his mother was a first-generation Sicilian immigrant.
His family dynamic was very not-healthy, as Antony was pretty much the golden child, while Maria was the scapegoat for Alcinia, and Vito was the scapegoat for their, which fostered years-long resentment and jealousy towards Andy on his part.
Andy was proud of his occupation and of his social standing, so when he was kicked out it felt like his entire world was crumbling.
Basically his entire afterlife as a sinner leading up to him joining Novus’ team was him getting/being high, as since sinners couldn’t die, there was nothing holding him back from taking as many drugs as he wanted.
I wanted his relationship with Val to have more layers, since I think it would provide better context as to why he’d be willing to stay with him for so long. They have history together.
I wanna say that in the course of the story, “season one” would have Andy completely unmotivated to take redemption seriously, but after a wakeup-call where his brother gives him a visit, he realizes he doesn’t wanna stay down in the shithole that is hell for eternity, and actually starts trying to make a change.
