Belphagor character critique and redesign
These redesigns are based on Vivs original intentions for the seven deadly sins. That being circus themed princes of hell.
Do I think I’m a better designer then viv? Yes.
Rewrite/world building ideas:
I think swapping Lust and Sloths roles in hell would be smart, with lust [or greed tbh] having the healthcare systems/medicine and Sloth having the innovation/technology.
Sloths ring would be the least hellish as she wants to focus on comfort and efficiency. Lower classes would be the means of keeping the comfort, but the ring is far easier to live in then any other. It's also the most progressive ring when it comes to rights, equity and other societal factors. It isnt much, seeing as it is hell though
I'm fascinated by the sin of Sloth. Sloth and Laziness is so misunderstood by society. Often "laziness" is often labeled on people who are disadvantaged, disabled or simply have different values for cleanliness or life goals.
For a different idea on what laziness and sloth is, I def suggest looking at those "free home cleaning" videos.
Also the original [christian] idea of the sin, sloth was inherently anti progress and innovation. Chrisitans didnt want society to progress, they didn't want life to become easier or "lazier".
So thats some food for thought.
