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.

It is curious and wants to accept all kinds of challenges
Hrotomos is a Servant (essentially to angels what humans are to devils)

it's not about them being mean people cackling and taking candy from babies, except the ones who do do that because Throne is an ecumenical gathering of assholes; it's about them being smart, extremely powerful monsters whose very nature is antithetical to the wellbeing of any non-devils hanging out around them, and especially anyone trying to boss them around. ionizing radiation is a morally neutral agent of chaos too, smart people still don't have a beer with it.

devils will gently caress you up because they hope to become better devils by doing so; angels will gently caress you up because you violated an obscure eight-million-year-old blue law about temple etiquette; humans will gently caress you up for good old-fashioned human reasons like finding out if there's anything good in your pockets.

Actually, Cio is basically Donald. Short-tempered wizards who swear unintelligibly.

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.

The only way to murder god is to murder yourself, simultaneously both metaphorically and literally
