I wanted to get this chance to lay out my headcannons for my own interpretation of Vox, the TV Demon! (because if I do not it’ll just be yet another repressed pulsating gremlin in my brain BEGGING for release. @w@) So lets get down to the deets!
— — —
Vox / Vincent Vaughn Whittman: The TV Demon/Overlord/CEO of VoxTek and the face of Vox-Media Entertainment.
Occupation(s): Chief Executive Officer of the largest tech entertainment company in Hell. / The face of the Underworld's most popular TV and multi-media outlet in the entire Pride ring! / Entertainer & Business man. / script writer and head movie and film director. / Cult Leader. / De facto leader of a trio Overlord group known as the Vees. (Consisting of himself, Valentino & Velvette.)
Personality: Vox himself is, above all else, the kind of entity who relishes in the adoration, support and loyalty of his viewers, fans and followers! He places himself high above the pedestal as the BIGGEST star in TV and Media entertainment! He also comes across as someone who is very intelligent, expressive and full of energy! (and he is not afraid of expressing it verbally or physically.)
He sees himself as a role model for all of hell, a beacon of power and fame that Sinners WISH they could become! And he is not afraid of using words and articulate metaphors to manipulate anyone he sees as potential revenue. Using both truths and lies as a fishing line towards any who are none the wiser. On the rarest of occasions, he can let his anger get the better of him when things do not go according to his vision. (especially when the RADIO DEMON is involved.) His fits of anger result in him exhibiting some physical abnormalities such as his voice and screen glitching between sentences (followed by a random commercial programme being played on his screen) and even massive electrical hell-wide surges! Making screens and lights flicker and sometimes explode out of control!
He harbours a twisted sense of humor that often Segway’s into something that starts off light hearted at first…and then ends with a horrific punch-line in the end! His moral compass is nonexistent at best and disastrous at WORST, showing that he has very little empathy for his fellow sinners and overlords! (although he often plays the part of someone acting in the best interests of his viewers and fellow overlords, it is all just an elaborate front to elevate himself and his business partners.)
On TV he presents himself as an almost cartoonishly entertaining show host! Who seems to care a great deal about the interests of his viewers and his vast audience (and he’s pretty damn good at turning up the charm and comedy as well!) But off-screen? He is a scheming, manipulative and morally detached monster who isn’t afraid to remind anybody who opposes him who is BOSS. Gaslighting, psychological warfare and propaganda are his specialties. His outlook on life is that if you do not have the drive to do whatever it takes to achieve fame, glory and influence, then you are simply just another outdated relic that must ether be shelved, or tossed into the dumpster. He learned that the HARD WAY during his earlier rise (and eventual fall) to fame in Hell when he first started. Long before he even MET Alastor.
Likes: Fast food, fancy dinner parties, watching commercials, movies and cartoons and even has a huge fondness for game shows! And occasionally loves to perform music on stage to a live studio audience. And he utterly loves it when fans boost his ego by praising him and getting the products they bought autographed by him!
Dislikes: Feeling a loss of control or becoming "irrelevant" to the eyes of the modern age. (which is why he always upgrades himself with a new model of TV and an updated system.) He despises Alastor GREATLY! All for rejecting his offer to join him and become a part of a greater vision for the future! But more so because Alastor refuses to embrace modern tech and remains “stuck in the times”. He dislikes when Valentino loses his temper for like, the one hundredth time. -w- (Headcannon) Powers/Abilities: The ability to manipulate reality at a limited scale! (able to conjure anything and/or anyONE into existence like a glitch behind a TV screen. Provided he could SEE you of course, and he has a LOT of eyes...) Can summon things from his screen(s) like tendrils and claws made entirely out of pixilated static. (Giant buzz saws, trillions of guns that shoot thunder bullets and long clawed tentacles, you name it!) Can manifest his partial demon form from his screen and can be ether regular sized or GIGANTIC! (His main body of course would be vulnerable to physical assault while he is in this stage and dangles around like a Christmas ornament.) His full demon form allows him to transform into a massive Godzilla-sized shark demon with humanoid arms, and a face made entirely out of millions of TV screens! granting him the ability to "swim" across the sky.
Technology manipulation: This one speaks for itself.
Slogan: TRUST US.
Edit: Most of the stuff I do with how I portray Vox will have a dash of cannon-divergency! For example, some parts of his personality, abilities and habits may be somewhat different from how he is portrayed in the show, with some clear similarities. Hope that helps clarify some things folks! (Also for those amongst you who may ask in the future, I unfortunately don't do art commissions TwT as I am not yet confident enough to partake in that practice. Sorry to disappoint! 🙏 😖)
