VoxTopic: Redeemed/Winner Vox Concepts

After Season 2, I'm not gonna lie: I want to see Vox redeemed more than ever. I love a challenge, and redemption would definitely be a difficult thing for this guy!

So, here's my version of Redeemed/Winner/Angel Vox! I wanted to do a bit more than a palette swap and go for a redeemed version with fitting thematic changes - visuals that show the character has undergone a big internal transformation, while also fitting his character.

Inside of every demon is a rainbow.

When Sir Pentious arrived in Heaven, the physical features of his body that functioned as a punishment in Hell were removed: he lost the many eyes that had covered his form as punishment for turning a blind eye to the murder of several women in his neighborhood. Similarly, in Heaven, Vox's form should change to reflect that he is no longer being punished for his transgressions. But what is his punishment, exactly? Is it having a TV for a head, such that he must constantly project an image to the world? The need to upgrade said head to avoid becoming obsolete? Or is it the fact that his power apparently comes from his approval rating? Regardless, none of those things are true now! because...

The first and biggest change for Vox is that he's finally escaped the TV. Instead, his head is a pane of pure light - free, unbound by metal and plastic, unburdened by the constant need for upgrades, able to change shape and still project whatever he needs.

He doesn't get the luxury of being fully human again, but truth be told, he'd probably feel strange being confined to a human form now.

Chasing Rainbows

Sinner Vox is heavily storm-coded, even referring to himself as "the flood" in obvious reference to the event God used to wipe out almost all life on Earth. In his redeemed form, Vox moves on to the natural next step in that story, as well as his own: While Sinner Vox is the oncoming storm, Winner Vox is the rainbow that comes after. Still a weather phenomenon - and as in Christian mythos, wherein the rainbow symbolizes God's promise never to destroy humanity in this way again, Vox's unmistakable wings are his own reminder not to return to his past self. The rainbow also evokes other myths: In Ancient Rome (ROME), the rainbow goddess Iris was a messenger and god of communication; and in Norse myth, the Bifrost that acts as a bridge between realms is sometimes viewed as a rainbow - both fitting symbolism for the first soul to successfully bridge the gap between realms and broadcast publicly between Heaven and Hell.

Given his canonical ability to send messages and bridge realms, I envision Vox taking a sort of psychopomp role in Heaven, helping guide new arrivals. Let the guy who tore off the Pearly Gates greet at them, yeah? I'm sure Peter would appreciate the company...eventually.

I also wanted to honor the many parallels between Vox and Charlie that the last season highlighted - so what better way than to reference the very first song she sang? In the pilot, Charlie wants nothing more than to redeem sinners, but the opening number ("I'm Always Chasing Rainbows," written in 1917 and popularized in the '40s - a song Vox would know!) makes clear that she feels stuck, and that none of her schemes ever work. It sort of feels appropriate that such a monumental feat as redeeming a guy who almost took out half the Pentagram would symbolically let Charlie catch her "rainbow." I mean, you can't write a more inspiring story than that!

In this way, even without his tech, the former media Overlord continues to be a driving force in messaging and communication. He's still bright - still dazzling - and he still attracts eyes, in the way people always look up to admire a rainbow when they see one - but now, what he offers is beauty for its own and others' sake, not his. Showmanship is second nature to him, and he very much still is one; Vox has always been so dedicated, ambitious and hardworking - turn those powers to good, and I imagine him as overwhelming and magnetic of a force for good as Sinner Vox is one for evil. But now, instead of a being of lightning, he is a being of light. And nobody ever could miss him.

Heaven never saw as many rainbows as it did on the day Vincent Whittman was redeemed.

What I think Vox would look like as a Winner

[hauntedremnantcurator]

I have sooooo much to say about THIS entire scene regarding Vox’s relationship with the other two Vee’s and also Vox’s suicidal martyr god behavior.

But my biggest question is,

Will there be any consequences of Vox absorbing(?) angelic power from Lucifer?

My take on a Winner/Angel Vox! I picture him as a Mr. Roger’s esk figure who was a beloved actor and television personality who died in a freak accident. Might update with a longer description or more info but I’m lazzzyyyy. :)
