When Allison conquers all universes she should flip it backwards and make him the one who's ended up with an ironic devil deal.

Allison already seems like she's the Devil everyone is trying to make a deal with. Unlike like princess or incubus, I feel like Myself would realize that

e: Like both princess and incubus sold their souls to Allison in a (terrible) bid for power.

It's pretty easy to get from "remember me when you become a god" to "hey, remember that ultra-boss I met back in level 2? I can totally waste that guy now!"

I wonder how it will alter the cool heist dynamic to know that every other member of the group has, at some point, killed and eaten a human being.

Listen dude if you're pulling a bank job with professional human criminals its statistically probable that they've killed someone before. Allison actually witnessed Cio slaughter multiple people in their escape from the brothel.

It's mostly the eating that I imagine would make things more complex. Like, Cio presumably knows what Allison would taste like with a maple glaze, and being actively aware of that would definitely mess with me were I in her situation.

A completely unrelated thing: Satan is my favorite bible guy. The Job-style version, I mean. Meeting dudes in deserts, etc. Testing. Proofing people. Whatever these masked things are, they're not like that.

Everyone always goes with the same basic devil molds. Prideful rear end in a top hat, Byronic Anti-Hero, Price of Lies, blah blah. I want someone to go for the more esoteric, I want the Sufi Devil. I want the one who fell because he refused to love anything as much as God, and saw the command to kneel to Adam and his subsequent banishment as a test of his love for God. The one who is the Job of his own story. I want that Satan. Failing that though the Adversary as "bad cop" is a close second.

I don't think KSBD's mythology mirrors the Abrahamic one at all. The devils aren't the Devil, Himself isn't based on any version of Satan, he's more like Ravana or something. The Satan of Job or Paradise Lost or dueling fiddles on a hickory stump is basically all about people, testing them or bilking them for their souls; whereas Throne's a more polytheistic place where people don't occupy any special place versus all the other supernatural gribblies that occupy the universe, and there's not really much difference between a demon king and a regular king from one of those absolute dick countries next door that keeps looting us.

I don't think the gods even made the devils in this story. They are just a chaotic mass given personalities by power hungry humans.

Well, they made the black flame, if not the devils you can actually have a beer with. Everything but the servants is sort of a factory reject on the way to making the stuff they wanted to make.

Yeah, they didn't make it. In fact, no god or goddess ever worked the black flame. It was mortals that called the devils out of the void as gave them shapes and names and masks. Not even Aesma managed to be that stupid directly, she had to pull it off by proxy.

humans are also the black flame, though i forget if they were specifically created by the gods or just sprung into existence as the inheritors of the 777,777 universes

e: im a dumbass aesma worked the warm black flame

i do gotta say that for all the power of the gods humans apparently beat them out in hubris

gods: "this hot black flame seems a bit too dangerous and difficult to mess with, cast it into the void and leave it be"
humans: "so i just found this insanely corrosive, voracious force that naturally manifests as horrifying abominations; i know, ill slap personality and intellect on it, lets see where this goes"

Pretty much, although to be fair nothing is crueler than forcing your insecurities and fears on an innocent corrosive, volatile force that just happens to be floating harmlessly in a void.
