May be stupid, but who is The Gambler?

You are Not stupid, that is a valid question!

The Gambler is a Mysterious CrossRoads Demon whose domain lies in the ring of Greed. He appears as a shadowy male figure with a brimmed hat that casts shadows on his face, a deep sultry voice, a charming smile, and jaundice-yellow eyes.

He is the Original Deal Maker. He comes to the mortal world to offer humans boons in exchange for their souls. What he does with these souls is unknown... does he break them down into spirit energy and drink them up to make himself stronger? Does he turn them into gold to fuel his empire? Or do they become his eternal servants in his Casino?

Adonis (my rewritten Alastor) sold his soul to the Gambler in exchange for power - in his case, power over fortune, and power in the afterlife. He didn't believe he was actually selling his soul at the time (Adonis did not believe in the supernatural for most of his mortal life) and only agreed because he could sense that The Gambler was a dangerous man, and he just wanted to make it home alive.

Once his debt was due in Hell, Adonis asked if there was anything he could do to reclaim his mortal soul - to which The Gambler replied,

"666. Give me 666 souls of the damned, and you'll be off scott-free. I cannot promise you a way out of Hell, but your soul will be yours."

"Deal"

Adonis does not speak of his Deal or the Gambler. It is his closest kept secret. He keeps an exact tally of how many souls he has on loan (he only owns them until he cashes out all 666) but it's helpful that the number of souls he has left to go is etched on his palm in glowing letters. His kid gloves hide this, and he never takes them off in front of others.

Feel free to ask more questions :)

So if Possible how would you reimagine Lute and Vaggie’s rivalry/past together more because I personally believe there’s potential to expand on that hatred between each other in the future of the show.

I just want Lute to be more than just an accessory to Adam.

I actually think it would be cool if Lute were rewritten to be a sinner. Maybe they were both in the same circles when they were alive, which would deepen the hatred Lute would have for her.

I have this interaction in my head:

They bump into each other in a public place, like a street or a bar

L- “you think you’re better than me? Huh?”

V- “I didn’t say that-”

L- “I see how you look at us sinners. You think you’re better than us, because you went to heaven and we didn’t, is that it?”

V- “look, I don’t want any trouble-”

L- “s’too late for that, girlie! You’re down here with the rest of us, now all you’re gonna get is trouble!”

Fight ensues

is it okay when you critique on hell you don't put down real world religions like Christianity and the like. I'm one myself and I'm also queer/have a different viewpoint on the religion than most so I understand the pains of how regular are very hate boner-y about non religious that a majority of Christians are like but I think that completely dunking it as a whole isn't the way to go. sorry if this came off as rude

When you are raised Christian and have religious trauma from it, it is allowed. If you were not raised Christian or fucked over by Christianity in some way then yeah, no shit. I will dunk on Christianity as I please as It’s fucked me over personally. I’m not some born atheist who looked at Christianity and decided it was prime dunking material. I was raised in the pews. I learned about God and the Devil from a young age and it gave me religious OCD where every time I had a stray thought I had an internal battle of whether The Holy Spirit was trying to warn me of great danger when really I was a child suffering from an Anxiety Disorder. But my congregation didn’t talk about mental health or mental illness. They talked about God, and how Praying fixes everything, and every fucking time someone tried to talk about mental health, they’d pull out the line “it’s all part of God’s plan”, which is the most condescending unhelpful bullshit anyone could ever say to someone when any normal human being would, idk, be sympathetic? Suggest getting help? But no. I didn’t get medicated until my fucking 20’s because I misconstrued A Fucking Anxiety Disorder with being spoken to by God. So excuse me when I say I can dunk on Christianity as I damn well please. If that makes you uncomfortable, don’t interact with my blog. I am literally using this blog to cope with religious trauma.

And here are the Seven Deadly Sins in my original story!

Wrath - A powerful, bloodthirsty warrior who lives for the thrill of the chase. He’s always looking for a challenge, and hates it when his opponents hardly put up a fight. Wrath likes to induce violence on his part of Damnation and sees peace as the “easy way out”. Though he looks like your typical brawny fighter, he is actually very intelligent, and likes to analyse his targets to strike back. Despite being hot headed, he can give out meaningful advice on facing your opponents. 

Sloth - The maintainer of Damnations galaxy. They are a sage who specializes in slumber spells, and believe eternal slumber is the answer to escaping the world's sorrows. Sloth’s domain is an endless night of stars. She weeps for the world, seeing it as a place of misery. It's said that Sloth can see the secrets of the nebulae, especially misfortune & bad luck upon humans, which she cannot intervene with. They sleep for most of the day, mainly on the clouds. 

Gluttony - Gluttony is a fearsome sin, striking fear into his worshippers and victims. He is a parasite, ready to feast on whatever he deems worthy. He drains his victims of their free will, turning them into his mindless zombies, aching for food. The only thing that could satisfy him is food, especially types of meats. You best get on Gluttony’s good side, as he is not easily pleased with others. 

Envy - Envy is the ruler of the seas. She is a formless water spirit, who can shapeshift into whatever form she sees fit. Envy can mimic whoever she wishes, that is if she has enough info on someone. She uses her powers of disguise to make others look bad, and ruin others lives by bad mouthing and manipulation. Envy vows to do anything for validation and praise from her subjects, even if she has to stoop to something awful to get it…

Greed - Greed is a charismatic, charming influencer in his domain. He is capable of turning things to gold, at the touch of his fingertips! He’ll value his riches and gold over the lives of anyone else. He lives lavishly, surrounded by power and fame, and simply wants more of it, he just can’t get enough! Anything he deems worthy of being in his palace of abundance, he will keep for himself, only allowing you to look, and NOT touch. 

Lust - A woman known as the “Goddess of Freedom & Liberation” to her people, she is practically the one sin taking her role as a ruler quite seriously. She is powerful, confident, and regal in nature. Lust lures in others with charm, prowess, and a promise. Her worshippers believe she will lead them to a world without burden, so that they can achieve their “truest self”, but is really the world Lust promises? 

Pride/Lucifer - He is the King of Hell, and leader of the sins, and only Lucifer sees himself as the only one who truly knows how the world works, and wants to create it in his own image. He has a very condescending nature and sees himself higher than the sinners roaming Damnation. Pride is cocky and rude, and only took the role of leading the Seven Sins to make himself look better, and really doesn’t care if they fail.

I love these already, I especially like how Gluttony is basically a Zombie King. That’s so cool. I haven’t even drafted what the deadly sins in my AU are like, but this is definitely something I should give more consideration. Good work 👍

Cursed idea for my rewrite

Episode where Charlotte goes to the Greed Ring and Greed himself sings Shiny from Moana/j

Do it

[x-hellworld-x]

Do you think you’ll ever have a masterpost with links?

That is the goal, yes. Everything is just a bit scattered right now. Once Ive completed redesigns for the main cast I’ll definitely have a master post that I’ll add onto as I expand. I’m working the bottom up with the timeline etc, focusing a lot on how the world works and lore. The master post is coming though, don’t you worry

Love those surnames! I also have a Hazbin rewrite, but its more-so with OC's based of the original cast with their personalities tweaked

Heres Lilith! Mother of demons, and Queen of Hell!

She's the cruel and cold mother of Charlotte, who neglected her for her own personal gain. She believes Eve is a foolish naive girl for falling for the apple trick back in Eden (even tho Eve was tricked and got blamed for a single mistake for ages to come-)

Lilith rules over the Pride ring alongslide Lucifer. I also based her dress off the Evil Queen from Snow White (the original not the shitty remake)

YES SLAY I love to see other fan's AUs and rewrites!

"Mother is Mothering" as the kids say
