i think they're evil all along (i.e. want to break their wards, party hard, turn you into more devils) they just get more clever about it

I dunno, the devil/angel dichotomy seems to be more about chaos vs law than evil vs good.

but cio is so nice also. i wonder how much control devils have over how they look and if the other devils give hrotomos poo poo for being a giant baby or if they're all too scared. actually i want a twist where he's not a devil at all, he's just a huge human baby who is drunk as hell and has no idea what he's doing

I'm pretty sure Hrotomos is not a devil and just a member of a giant baby species.

Hrotomos is a Servant (essentially to angels what humans are to devils)

I think I just have a thing for fictional worlds that are so full of outlandish bullshit that you can pretty much make up any place, person, or event on the spot and still have it fit organically into the larger setting. One day it rained sentient ice cream. Pfft, Gog-Agog calls that "Thursday."

I can really get behind a setting that runs on asburdity and constant paradoxes. It's like if all the stuff you learned in Intro to Philosophy was all true at the same time, no exceptions. God is dead and we have killed him but the universe is god experiencing itself, also you can't prove god exists but you certainly can murder him.

Speaking of lovely devils. Once I can scrounge up the funds, I have a new avatar. EDIT: Incidentally, in the preview, the phrase "rowdy lads" was replaced with "rowdy fight boys."
