Ask West Hell let`s gooo
Hey hey, even though I've written long posts with lore I couldn't fit all the little details and thoughts in, so I wanted to make it interactive. Ask me about the AU or ask the characters any questions directly. You can send multiple questions at once; it'll be fun to experiment. /and I also want to practice in comics
Okay, my friend makes awesome AU, I draw her funny stuff, even though sometimes I don't know the lore😭
So this was a Christmas art with the main character and their three objects of communication... Sin is a sucker in a bottle.
I don’t know what she managed to tell everyone, but she has enough ideas for some kind of game, for example, ahahahahaha.
spent 2 days on this with some official merch, a button maker, superglued fabric and sheer determination. never let your memes be dreams make those dreadful creatures your oshis
ITD WESTERN AU LOREDROP. LOTS OF TEXT AND THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST PART. ENJOY
AU Backstory: As in canon, the events had the same beginning: Sin, the embodiment of all evil created Hell and with it the Sins. Centuries in Hellfire passed quickly, and at one point he grew bored. Sin became interested in seeing how people could degenerate and break among their own kind — suffering not from hellfire but from the lives they'd broken. Sin had seen mortals broken before but he wanted to have a hand in it. In large numbers and for a long time (he also became interested in politics yeah).
With this mindset he brought the Sins to the surface giving them no choice. There in the wasteland a large state quickly grew, later dubbed Hell. Sin himself ruled over all his domains while the Sins as before had no rights, now dwelt in mortal form. Sin had no problem with the human body while his servants suffered — human bodies weakened them cuz human flesh was a cage limiting their strength. However at that time Sins returned to Hell with the Boss's permission, and the process occurred as follows: the mortal body was unconscious while the consciousness transferred to the Hellish body => when the consciousness in the mortal body, the Hellish body slept. Speaking of the effect of mortal bodies on the Sins: they felt the pain of the Boss's violence more acutely, they developed a sense of fear and their psyches became more receptive, despite being hellish creatures. Sin out of a thirst for power broke them and reveled in it.
The tyranny lasted for a long time and the state had long since transformed from a "neutral" state into the center of all human filth: injustice, crime, corruption, and so on. Even then other territories which had pretended Hell didn't exist began secretly collaborating with it, which only increased its influence. Even then the state disappeared from maps—specifically, by that no one would know about its core of illegality and permissiveness, so that high-ranking officials could gather any connections and amuse themselves.
Returning to Sin — he had lost his influence. Living among mortals he had become addicted to gambling, and then the Devil himself aka Mephistopheles entered the game. His goals were typical: to take Hell from the careless Sin, who had become interested only in human affairs while the demons amused themselves in the underground Hell turning it into a bloody scrapyard. The "Boss" became intoxicated with power, completely stripping the Sins of their right to choose and thoroughly breaking every subordinate. Mephistopheles wanted to bring order to all this chaos… and he also had his own dark agenda.
Mephistopheles crushed Sin in a game of poker — the boss wagered his power and both Hells in the heat of the moment. And when Mephis received Sin's powers, he was about to banish the former ruler of both Hells. Sin though damned laughed heartily. Since the Sins were created from his body they too had lost their powers, meaning they were now forever trapped in human shells. Sin disappeared, while Mephis remained in genuine shock,and the Sins were in hysteria and despair.
Both Hells remained with Mephistopheles — he brought order to both and made the earthly one even better (in a negative sense). But now the Sins ruled their "circles." Even in human bodies they could acquire abilities — by absorbing a huge number of souls but this took a long time. A century passed and the Sins fought off others — they couldn't bear life in mortal bodies, yearned for their native hellish area, found a way to commit suicide. For others this was treason and idiocy. But the remaining Sins continue to rule Hell alongside Mephistopheles, live quite comfortably.
SINS, GEOGRAPHY AND HOW SIN IS LIVING NOW:
Idolatry aka the mayor of "Betrayal." An icon of slay and the Eating Disorder. A selfish drama queen with sky-high self-esteem, whose city is designed to be as opulent as possible — all for the sake of the investors he attracts. He was once worshiped — he was held up as an idol but time passed and he became useless to Sin. So he transformed the testosterone-fueled muscle mass (former Idolatry) into the personification of "heroin chic" with a face that's pretty by Hell's standards. Idolatry responsible for half the economy in Hell cuz his territory is the only one where mass murders don't occur and everything is quiet. All thanks to Skitzo as sheriff who performs spectacular public executions of the guilty ;)
Gluttony. A damn capitalist with a vile character who plunders the citizens and the people from outside. He easily deceives those in power outside Hell because he can put on a show and earn a fortune without doing anything. Gluttony also has a whole bunch of mercenaries — “Worms" who carry out every order. But he doesn't get along well with the other Sins (except Deception).
Promiscuous [art by @kakavakakkakava]. Oversees brothels within and outside the state and under her the prostitution situation has become far worse than before. She harvests the strength and souls of prostitutes and their clients, feeding on sexual energy and filthy desires. Promiscuous is the only one of her colleagues who leaves the state borders for negotiations. She is sighted but wears a blindfold to savor the taste of others' lust and energy (in the portrait, she is blindfolded for appearance's sake). Also is a lookist and values people and demons only by their appearance and body. Bestie w Idolatry.
Deceit. He doesn't look human due to the large number of souls he's consumed. Deceit inherited the territories of those Sins who chose to leave this world for good. His colleagues have plenty of work so he graciously took the lands and cities for himself. Even with such a vile appearance Deceit inspires trust in mortals — he knows how to win them over, convincing them that he's safe and reliable. And his "charms" work. His territory includes both a large casino and a bar of Intoxication (this fool underestimated his semi-mortal body and simply died from a huge amount of alcohol on a bet). Deceit is friendly to all the Sins often inviting them over for tea but only Gluttony accepts.
(At this point comic readers might be stumped. Sorry guys I can't get my hands on the printed comics right now but my hyperfixation is in full swing. So I've been scouring every corner of the internet for information. Consider this a departure from canon.)
Geography of Hell. It's fun to remember topographic maps from school. There will be revisions no matter what.
Beyond Hell's borders are otherworldly territories/wastelands that ordinary Hell residents will never see.
"Birdcage" clearly confuses you, so I'll cut to the chase.
Occasionally word of Hell would leak out to the common folk, and from there human trash would flock to the state. Some would bribe their way into power, others would find a place to live in the slums. But mostly they were rejected. The bandits couldn't return — they would be killed to prevent further Hell revelations so they settled on the outskirts of Hell, which would later be called the "Birdcage". This area encircles the northeast of the state, covering it like a dome hence its name. "Birds" are the lowest social class, either criminals from other lands or hellborn* rejected by society and left to survive in the Birdcage. Gang shootouts, murders and massacres constantly occur there. Birds are hated by everyone who can.
Regarding the inhabitants of Hell as a whole: the state is populated by mortals, demons and the hellborn. While Sin ruled many demons surfaced directly into the state. Either for the spectacle or they were also bored (along with them the state was populated by a HUGE number of hell birds). Some demons hid well among humans, while others immediately gave away their appearance with their completly pale skin — a distinctive feature of evil in this world. True to their nature they mingled with mortals and thus the hellborns were born. Hellborn inherit only physical differences from a demonic parent (such as pupil-less eyes, etc.), but essentially they remain mortals whose lives are shortened by half due to physical and mental illnesses. In Hell they are slightly higher than the Birds in the social hierarchy, but they are rarely accepted by humans or demons simply because they live short lives.
About Fibble and Sin:
Like a canon he became bound to Fibble by fate and abuse. In this AU Fibble is a mortal with a murky past, or rather, he was an angel. Yep he's the angel Sin deceived - Phil. He asked Phil to hide God's gaze from Hell on earth, the angel complied and was reborn as a mortal. But they remained bound by a pact and Sin became something of a familiar for the former angel.
(Damn how much fun he must have to torment an ex-angel.)
Sin dragged Fibble on a journey through various lands for "his own purposes" until they ended up in Hell where the story unfolds.
Here are a couple of illustrations of these idiots.
Omg that was long but I hope you found it interesting. I'd like to add that the story will unfold in Hell and simultaneously in the Birdcage just from different characters' perspectives. There will be separate posts about Skitzo's lore later cuz there are so many additional details that have stretched out the Sins lore for a long time, and a post about the Birdcage itself.
You can ask me questions in the comments or DM, see you later ^^
