happy (not) birthday hyperlaser! (with the only people he cares for)

[phightingaus]

deciding to drop some more lore tidbits to gain more traction! im currently making docs on lore, culture, demon biology etc.

cw for religious themes, death, general violence, overall this au isnt for the faint of heart or for young audiences

yes, the inpherno is heavily based on dantes inferno. theres 9 layers with crossroads in layer 7 (violence) since yknow... phighting! they phight! it was originally going to be in wrath but i thought violence fit better!

the whole general idea of this au is to follow the stories of very flawed and bad people, whether that be humans who committed bad actions/sins in their past life, or hellborn who want to cause peril

there are sinners (humans who committed sins in their past life so they got sent to the inpherno), and hellborn (demons born in hell whose pure purpose is to torture said sinners, most do but some dont such as sword, rocket, coil)

tying into that, hellborn are heavily feared by the sinners because of that, so friendship between the two types is rare (for example, slingshot is a sinner but is friends with both rocket and sword— hellborn —which is seen as taboo.)

crossroads is the run down city between the 7 regions/sins in violence, which has the hole to layer 8 in the middle. only ~5,000 demons live in crossroads while the rest (over 1 billion) are living in regions and actively getting tortured if theyre sinners

sinners are landlocked, meaning they can only leave the region of their sin through the soul train, a train that drops off wayward souls in the layers of the inpherno every 2 years, or if a hellborn takes them out of that region. hellborn can go to whatever region they want since theyre free to move around hell.

a lot of sinners join a faction if they are in pride, wrath, sloth or greed respectively for protection and a sense of community.

there are “angels” and “god” in this au, theyre called the enlightened ones and have a cloud of mystery around them. not much is known about them other than how they created the inpherno (which will be revealed in the lore doc later).

when a sinner comes to the inpherno theyre automatically given a gear! 90% of the time the gear represents something from their past life, the other 10% being a rare chance it doesnt (for example, shurikens gear has no ties to his past life).

romance and friendship are taboo and even laughed at in the inpherno/crossroads, since most demons dont live for long due to prolonged torture or being killed by another. despite that, the main cast of phighters still formed relationships (which will be shown in a doc i made for relationships)

thats enough yap for now! ill be back for more but i dont want to make this insanely long. the inpherno awaits!

guess what i am a young audience and i love this au (tbh i don't really care anymore if something is violent)

hmmm you could explore that via having hellborn that are not native to the crossroads (as in they are from different layers)

i could wax poetic about how "every1 is flawed" and yada, yada but like there is a hole writing trope of perfect characters: PARAGONS (put your btd6 reference here! put your btd6 reference here!!)

yeah that's what it says on the tin

i mean that is kinda of a no duh but yeah

EVERYBODY GET ON TO THE HELL TRAIN!!!!! EVERYBODY GET ON THE HELL TRAIN!!!!!

i think that makes sense

neat

was sling like an avid hunter in this AU? what about coil was he an electrical engineer

yeah i guess that makes a good bit of sense

i don’t think sword appreciated that comment too much…

[phightingrewrite]

pssst do u have any more katana crumbs

the people want katana so i will deliver….

i will only give some fun random facts since i’d like the rest of him to be revealed through drawings or other things such as writings

- since he is half mongol he picked up some mongolian from his mother; but his native tongue is japanese, so that is his best language

- he has dyscalculia, a learning disability regarding trouble with numbers, math concepts, equations, financing and memory

- katana’s hobbies (whenever he DOES have time to relax, which is rarely) consist of whittling wood figurines, journaling, hunting the beasts in greed-violence, and singing; but singing is way more private to him. there isn’t really much to do in hell lol

- in his past life katana had a huge sweet tooth, but thinking of it now makes him very sick

- despite never visiting lost temple or being near it, katana wouldn’t hesitate to “cleanse” a demon who is aligned with them

- katana views hell as a place made to mock and condemn himself and himself only, since he connects a lot of things in hell to events that happened in his past life

- katana has braids in his hair that were given to him by his apprentice, vine staff

- his favorite dish was sukiyaki while he was living, so he tries to replicate it as best as he can

- the shotgun he was shot with was a baikal-mp 133

- katana is a little (a lot) astraphobic, so one bad thunderstorm and hes trying so hard to not shiver and look scared

- if he was an animal he would be a coho salmon (sorry owl truthers)
