“Oh you mean in a fight” anon made me wonder, who lets the MC win if they’re play fighting & who’s out for unquestionable conquest?

oho, an interesting question... i'll break them down into categories

Lets MC Win

Heluur, Lithiana

Doesn't Play To Lose

Suchebh, Arianis

Doesn't Really Understand the Appeal of Play-Fighting

Twilit

Has a Lot of Trouble Keeping Themself From Feeling Competitive in Situations Like That and so Would Rather Not Do It In Case They Mess the Relationship Up Or Accidentally Hurt MC

Malkorath

Hihi! Gonna be honest, I came for the smut, but stayed for the funny writing, 10/10, will keep replaying the different routes so far <3 If it's not spoilery, what are the ROs fears? Demons have fears, right?

hm, i don't think this is too spoilery? i might be a bit vague with some of them so as to not spoil some backstory perhaps

Arianis

running out of time

Heluur

destroying the earth accidentally (lmao)

Lithiana

losing the people she cares about

Malkorath

being enslaved again/losing control of themself

Suchebh

being unimportant in the grand scheme of things/not mattering to people who matter to them

Twilit

running out of things to explore; life becoming dull because they know everything there is to know

thank you for your kind words, by the way! i'm really glad you're enjoying the game! <3

results are in and the first Official Flirt of the game goes to Lithiana!

it Was going to be Suchebh but i decided to add this one in earlier for funsies lmfao

On a scale of 1 to 10 how resistant the ROs are to a MC giving them puppy dog eyes

with 1 being least resistant and 10 being most...

Arianis - 6/7. they're an independent warlock who makes tough decisions and can't be swayed!!! unless mc is being really cute...

Heluur - maybe a 2 lmao. he doesn't want mc to be sad... 😔

Lithiana - 5. it depends on the situation and her mood

Malkorath - 1. if mc is romancing them? even less, maybe -10 XD

Suchebh - the highest possible score, either 10 or infinity. try puppy dog eyes on Suchebh at your mc's own risk... they may end up getting the exact opposite of what they're asking for XD

Twilit - varies depending on how much they like mc and whether or not they realise that puppy dog eyes are happening. it's about a 4 if mc is in good with them and closer to 8 or 9 otherwise.

Do you by chance have any references for the ROs faces ? Like art, ai created (like Artbreeder), or irl faceclaims?

Asking for doodle reasons : )

i do have a couple of faceclaims, but i'd like to stress that most of them aren't intended to be... direct representations as such. partially because some of the ROs' faces are varying degrees of inhuman due to wacky skin colours or horns or such and partially because of gender selectability in the case of some of them. and also I'm just not married firmly to many of them and only really look to them occasionally for vibes/inspiration. but i'll pass them on anyway! (under a cut for Images)

the closest thing to Official art i have (i'd love to have one for every character but it's not really in the cards for now unfortunately lol) is this gorgeous piece of Arianis done by my beloved friend, which we consulted back and forth about a bit as they were making it... you may all now applaud their incredible talents 😌

next is Twilit; there's some information on various nonhumanoid aspects in this post, but I'll repost my vague faceclaim here as well:

i went into as much detail as i could do without developing magical art skills myself about Malkorath in this post; this particular faceclaim is probably the least detail-accurate one that i have, but i still keep it in my mind (and sometimes look at it while writing lmao) because the Expression is *chef's kiss* pure Malkorath flavour. THIS is the Exact expression you can expect to see looking at Malkorath's face at any given moment XD

the closest thing i could find to how i conceptualise Lithiana's face is probably someone like Kate Hudson... bright and bubbly essentially though again it's not a perfect representation.

i also had trouble finding someone for Heluur as most actors don't have particularly Soft features lmao. the best example i could really find was someone sort of like Jude Law, particularly in a movie like the Holiday where his character is quite soft also.

and... unfortunately i don't really have anything that i feel represents my mental image of Suchebh. however that might potentially be a good thing in a way since beauty is subjective and they're really supposed to be. Hauntingly beautiful haha... maybe it's Best to leave them in particular up to artistic interpretation. sorry if it's a bummer though 😔

i hope this helps! it would be easier if i had real life demons to choose from i suppose lmao

so i plan on making a MC for each sin/RO (i do this every time im a whore) so i was wondering, which Sin would each RO be the most attracted to?

hm, this is sort of a rough one because i've never. assigned any kind of weight to the sin choices outside of extra skin colour options and story choices... also because there's seven "sin" options and only 6 ROs lmao. i did at one point try matching up each RO with a background choice that they would most relate with but even that was a bit rough and they often overlapped...

Arianis - the Transience origin (family of travelling entertainers)

Heluur - the Isolation origin (living with your aunt in the forest)

Lithiana - the Peril origin (younger brother is a mercenary)

Malkorath - the Hunger origin (grew up as an orphan on the streets)

Suchebh - the Eclipsal origin (overshadowed by your older sister)

Twilit - the Rigidity origin (ran away from a strict monastic community)

i hope that helps! there really isn't much weight at all put into the various sin aspects with regard to the ROs, it's mostly just for cc and background story stuff i'm afraid :)

Can’t wait to be an adorable/sexy demon. Also question how would the ros react if there weren’t any seats so mc sat on the ros lap like they belonged there?

I’m sorry if this is worded weird my English is not great.

no worries, your english is great! i'm glad you're enjoying the game! as for the lap-sitting question...

Arianis - in all situations other than when they're trying to play their lute, they'd be highly pleased with this. if they are playing their lute they'd probably be exasperated... you can Maybe try to cajole them into playing it around you, but it'd be tough XD

Heluur - depends on how much pain he's in on any given day (i'm assuming mc obviously won't want to hurt him lmao) but on a good day he's more than happy to make a little surface out of his tail for mc to sit on!

Lithiana - she'd immediately put her arms around mc and be happy to stay that way!

Malkorath - they'd probably be surprised, and a little embarrassed if you were in public. then they'd end up going very still, to avoid accidentally hurting you by tipping you off without meaning to or something haha

Suchebh - prepare to wrestle for who gets to sit on whom 😌 if you win, expect lots of playing with your hair/clothes/wings/tail/etc. and a hand on your thigh XD

Twilit - catch them sitting first! they're probably too busy doing other things lmao

Welp, I guess I just stumbled into this and now have an adorable, lazy batdemon OC lol. I love the demo so far and can't wait to see more and/or to be a massive slut! One important question for us sloth demons though, how much do our ROs like cuddling in bed?

haha, welcome! i'm glad you enjoyed it! as far as cuddling in bed goes, the ROs ranked from most to least comfortable with it go:

Suchebh > Malkorath > Lithiana > Arianis > Twilit (with Heluur on a sort of sliding scale ranging from 4th to last depending on how bad of a pain day he's having)

if Suchebh could get away with it, they'd NEVER leave a bed full of lovers... unfortunately they have to engage in things like leadership and politics, eugh. once they like someone enough, Malkorath really enjoys being Close, and Lithiana is at what i guess i would describe as a "casual enjoyment of cuddling" level interest in it. Arianis is pretty ambivalent - they don't mind it, but it's not something they'd miss either, whereas Twilit will probably get bored if it goes on for a while. emotionally Heluur would love to be able to cuddle all the time and "lying down next to each other" is something he really enjoys but sometimes it's hard to relax into a cuddling mood if it hurts too much.

What's something that makes the ROs completely lose their heads the MC does in bed? The moaning, the soft touches, the adoring gaze, etc? One little gesture that sends them over the edge.

i debated on whether or not to answer this one for a while because i worry about. making the actual scenes in the game obsolete by giving too much away but. i Think this one won't spoil too much haha

Arianis - something that they appreciate when it comes to the mc is not being treated like they're delicate and breakable just because they're mortal. they like it a little rough, but most of the demons are afraid of going too far lmao

Heluur - there's already a bunch of trust barriers mc has to get past to get to the point of having intercourse with him, but probably anything that conveys devotion would be a very big deal for him, lice mc being clingy/determined to make eye contact or stuff like that

Lithiana - she's definitely a fan of "can't keep our hands off each other" sex... she likes to be touched, and also to know that mc is happy to be there and desires her

Malkorath - they definitely get more flustered the more deliberate attention they're paid. anything particularly personal, including using their name, has a good chance of making their brain melt out their ears lmao

Suchebh - they are a big fan of anything that reminds them that mc is (or was) a human, especially invoking the gods lmao. not only do they get a thrill from the blasphemy but it also reminds them how unique mc is, one-of-a-kind, and yet choosing to spent time with them.

Twilit - i don't know if i'd say there's anything specific that interests them more than anything else; for them it's more about. the Process. finding out the correlation between action and outcome, what things make the mc make certain noises, etc. Scientific Inquiry but make it sexy

Does this world have a Valentine’s analog? And if so how would the ROs like to spend it (🔨🐕 I’m ready to bonk some demons & a warlock if I need to btw)?

there isn't a analogue specifically to Valentine's Day, but there is one to what is more or less the OG version, Beltane (also known as/folded into May Day, because it takes place on May 1st in the northern hemisphere, though it ironically enough falls on October 31st here in the southern hemisphere lmao). nobody really knows where the tradition came from, but the rumour is that Heart's Rule (the festival in question) and Moon's Shadow (the Samhain analogue) are the two holiest holidays in the Warp, and were taught to humanity by the elves, fairies, satyrs and centaurs who live there.

for obvious reasons the gods don't look terribly kindly on celebrating that sort of thing so in the cities/under the watchful eye of the church the most you'll usually get is fancy themed parties. proposals and marriages are common and indeed fashionable around that time because it's thought that the gods will favour you with luck in romantic endeavours at that time of year, even though there's no specific deity of love or other relationships.

the further you get away from the cities however, the more the festival takes on an element of... bacchanalian excess. you should always be careful celebrating Heart's Rule out in the country though! on a night like that, who can say if your lovely dance partner and their seductive eyes are even human...

as for how the ROs would like to spend it (assuming that they're in a relationship with mc) (under the cut because long lmao):

Arianis prefers the high society balls to the more rowdy parties, surprisingly - it's not that they don't like the revelry, but they tend to attract the attention of too many jilted spouses. taking mc to a fancy costume party and seeing how many betrothals and noble marriages the pair can ruin in one night would honestly be the Highlight of their year lmao

Heluur is not particularly big on parties, for a number of reasons (hard to travel to them, for one thing, and Loud, for another), but he would find the idea of mc choosing to spend time with him on that day very romantic. probably his ideal Heart's Rule night is a quiet night in together, maybe observing some particularly wild hijinks that his friends are getting up to on the chaos mirrors. if you tell him that giving chocolates is traditional, he Will acquire some for your mc, even if the gods only know how.

Lithiana is very happy to throw a party of any kind for any reason, though she'd prefer to keep it in Hell for reasons of not freezing to death or being hunted down by angry Inquisitors. the good thing about that is that demons REALLY know how to cut loose at a party, and they're less liable to accidentally hurt each other than carousing humans (or at least more likely to survive if they do). planning something fun for everyone to do together with mc would make her really happy.

Malkorath is another not-party person; their ideal way to celebrate would be to spend the whole day totally alone with mc, but they don't particularly care what they'd be doing. they DEFINITELY want chocolates though... on this And every other day haha.

Suchebh is kind of ambivalent about Heart's Rule, to be honest. most of the stuff that everyone is indulging in is kind of their ordinary MO already, and it's a bit. Weird for them, the idea of showing up to a party for Someone Else's booze and sex festival. where's THEIR big party huh?? on any given year they're most likely to spend the evening sulking and instructing their warlocks to cause havoc, but their ideal way to spend it would probably be. something centred around them. and if they're lucky, something that can make them totally forget it's happening lmao.

Twilit is not Ordinarily a party kind of person, but they're in a friend-of-a-friend kind of situation with The Horned King who rules over the Warp, so Heart's Rule and Moon's Shadow are their two exceptions, though they prefer to celebrate both of them in the Warp with him. they'd be more than happy to take mc with them... though it's sure to be an extremely wild night.

i hope that helps answer your question!

big spoon or small spoon for the ros please im begging (this is very important ok)

don't worry anon i'm here with the important info for you 😌

Big Spoon

Heluur, Suchebh

Little Spoon

Arianis, Malkorath

Whichever

Lithiana

Epitomises This Gif When You Ask Them Which They Prefer

Twilit

hey! could i get 8 for all the ROs please! thanks and congrats on the follower milestone!

oof, good one! thank you for the ask!

8. If your OC were to live in some other time period, which era would they be best suited for?

as far as "best suited" goes i'm going to treat that like a question about when they'd find it most easy to survive, not like... which eras would Value them the most or anything. i hope that's okay

Arianis - Arianis is to a certain extent rather timeless in some ways... any of the many eras in which people were paid to sit around making art and music would suit them rather well. they'd have liked the Bohemian Revolution, for example, but also various different ancient cultures like Greece and Babylon

Heluur - um. the Jurassic, i guess? he'd find it boring of course, but it'd probably be among the least amount of pain in the arse for him lmao. i guess if you remove his obvious difficulties with Fitting In it'd probably be something close to current day. smartphones are handy for someone who can't get out and about much but he'd like a little less global apocalypse and rising fascism please (me too actually)

Lithiana - similar to Arianis, although in her case it'd be sex work rather than artistry haha... however i do think she'd prefer some time and place where women aren't treated too badly

Malkorath - hmm... something relatively modern, so that people aren't walking around screaming and trying to burn them at the stake constantly, but also before the internet and smartphones and the rise of accessible handheld photography for people to gawk and take pictures of them everywhere they go lmao. somewhere between the world wars and like. the 80s-90s i guess

Suchebh - i think they'd enjoy Ruining a great many time periods... as far as actually liking any it'd have to be something before xtianity began conquering and subjugating everyone, which differs in year based on the location on the planet of course. i can picture them in lots of places... their outfit is actually based on minoan fashion so maybe there? tits out and all that 😌

Twilit - they probably have the least trouble fitting in in any time period in particular since they can make pretty much anything work. modern science would certainly be of more interest to them than anything humans have done previously though

Congrats on the follower milestone!! Such a huge accomplishment, you and this amazing story deserve it! I knew you were one to follow after I saw the D&D rants. Just thought "yes, a fellow person obsessed with the outer planes. this is someone whos storytelling I can RESPECT!!" 😤 For the ask list, could we get a lil treat with #17?? Tell us more about how demons are as friends and lovers.

hahaha... thank you, i'm glad someone appreciates my D&D opinions. if i had the spare money to hire an artist i've always thought it would be funny to make a logo for the game that is a parody of the D&D logo with the dragon ampersand but D&B lmao... however somebody might talk me out of that at some point, i'm not sure XD

thank you for the ask!

17. What sort of role do they take on in relationships, either familial, romantic or platonic. i.e. are they a defender, protector, nurturer, etc.

i'm not sure if there's like... a set group of archetypes that this is pulling from or if they're just trying to convey basic attitudes so i'll probably just do. basic attitudes. hope that's okay!

Arianis - Arianis' familial relationships are quite different from their romantic or platonic ones; it's not that they don't get along with their dad, but they do get sick of his company pretty easily because the two are very different. when it comes to other relationships they're a lot more laidback and don't mind arguments/cold patches so much as long as they don't get Personal, though they can be sort of fairweather in a way unless they really trust someone.

Heluur - Heluur is really very stable when it comes to relationships (as with everything else)... he has kind of a lot of practice being the mum friend in his group of pals just because he's naturally the most responsible and least chaotic. it stresses him out sometimes because it can be difficult to pull that off when you can't really travel, but most of his close friends have learned to come to him when they need to. he's never been in a romantic relationship before but it'd be similar in principle.

Lithiana - Lithiana is definitely the fantasy equivalent of a Fun Party friend; she's always planning little events and fun get-togethers for everybody. a lot of the people in her close circle of friends are more reticent than most so she often has to work really hard at it, but it's something she likes doing and she's not going to let them dissuade her lmao. she's the same in relationships... she always likes to have some upcoming Thing to be thinking about and preparing for, whether a date or a party or something.

Malkorath - Malkorath's experience with interpersonal relationships is unique and a bit. skewed in favour of ones that weren't very good, especially before the past few years. as a result they're often bad at navigating social situations and friendships and their perception of "closeness" swings back and forth between "i really like that guy, i said good morning to him thirteen weeks ago and it was my Best Ever social interaction" and "following someone around like a puppy dog". they're a bit clingy, but not because they don't respect other people's boundaries, just because they haven't yet worked out how to set any of their own. their adoptive mother is trying to teach them, but it's slow going as they have a lot of shit to sort through. like Heluur they've never had a romantic relationship before so there's not much to say on that front.

Suchebh - Suchebh is very attentive to the people who are important to them; even if it doesn't seem like it or they act petulant or snarky sometimes, they always try to keep in mind what's going on with everyone in their little circle of loved ones and whether or not there's anything that they can do to help at any given time. this includes Twilit... though Suchebh would never admit it lmao

Twilit - Twilit's attitude towards relationships is... complicated. They're definitely the kind of person that you can not talk to for two (hundred) years and yet they'll pick right back up where you left off as though there's no extra distance between the two of you. time doesn't really factor much into their perceptions of how things are going; if they like you then they like you. All of the people who manage to get really close to them basically change their entire outlook and set of priorities, as a function of needing a feeling of newness and curiosity to actually facilitate that closeness in the first place, and romance wouldn't be any different.

Hello, may I have 15 for everyone?

sure thing! thanks for the ask!

15. What is a common misconception about your OC? (Alternatively, what do people assume about them which is either incorrect or misconstrued?)

Arianis - aside from people assuming that they're a regular human, i'd say it's probably that their artistic inclinations are a sign that they're fairly easy-going and non-serious/superficial, which isn't the case.

Heluur - hmm... probably that he's slow in terms of thinking and speaking as well as movement. especially for other demons who are put off by how generally stable and balanced he is.

Lithiana - probably that she's a defenceless pushover; she does prefer to avoid fighting and obviously by her nature she's not usually inclined to violence instinctively, but she's capable of looking out for herself if she needs to.

Malkorath - i suppose the obvious one is that people tend to see Malkorath and assume that they're more or less a mindless monster. when it comes to demons and other creatures less likely to be instantly terrified of the sight of them, it's probably that they take after their creator, the former Archdemon of Wrath.

Suchebh - i think people probably assume that Suchebh isn't very interested in much outside of their relative sphere of power and hedonistic lifestyle. they're definitely hedonistic and self-indulgent, but it's more of a purposeful diversion for them than any kind of addiction or compulsion. it's just something to Do, in the absence of other things they'd rather be working on.

Twilit - mdnbgh... there are probably Lots. there are lots of rumours about them and the kind of things they do that are leftover propaganda from various previous Archdemons meant to scare people; mostly that they abduct other demons and torture/experiment on them, which is basically an attempt to frame them for something that the former Archdemon of Wrath was doing.

thank you again for the ask!

who would the ros romance from the dragon age games

ooh, this is a bit of a tough one in some spots lmao. read these only as the characters that each RO would romance while playing these games as games and not as a sort of Who They'd Actually Be Compatible With. as a bonus i'll add on what kinds of characters they would play...

Arianis - Dragon Age Origins: (Mahariel rogue, though they're mad that they can't play a Mahariel mage) Morrigan. Dragon Age 2: (blue Hawke mage) either Anders or Merrill. Dragon Age Inquisition: (Adaar mage) Iron Bull.

Heluur - Dragon Age Origins: (Amell mage) Alistair. Dragon Age 2: (blue Hawke bow rogue) Merrill. Dragon Age Inquisition: (Lavellan mage) Josephine, his absolute favourite character in all three games <3

Lithiana - Dragon Age Origins: (Tabris rogue) Leliana. Dragon Age 2: (red Hawke daggers rogue) Isabela. Dragon Age Inquisition: (Adaar daggers rogue) her two preferred options would be Cassandra or Dorian, but not wanting to play a male pc she'd end up romancing Blackwall probably just for the sake of romancing Somebody.

Malkorath - Dragon Age Origins: (Brosca 2h warrior) Alistair, though i think they'd be confused as to how it happened and how they somehow wound up in a romance with him. Dragon Age 2: (red Hawke 2h warrior) there is no other character in this game but Fenris. Dragon Age Inquisition: (Adaar 2h warrior) never finished playing because they got to Here Lies The Abyss and had a meltdown having to choose between leaving Warden Alistair or their Fenris-romancing Hawke in the Fade... they were probably flirting with Cassandra beforehand.

Suchebh - Dragon Age Origins: (Cousland rogue) romance Zevran but marry Alistair so that they can become queen. Dragon Age 2: (purple Hawke mage) ragequit partway through Act 3 when they finally realised they couldn't romance Varric. Dragon Age Inquisition: (Trevelyan mage) Cullen, because making someone commit blasphemy is sexy XD

Twilit - Dragon Age Origins: (Surana mage) i think they'd probably miss every signposted opportunity to flirt with any of the ROs and end up trying to flirt with like. Caridin. if you forced them to pick one it'd probably be Morrigan. Dragon Age 2: (blue Hawke mage) probably either Fenris or Merrill. Dragon Age Inquisition: (Lavellan mage) i think they'd probably get got by Solas XD Suchebh finds this HILARIOUS.

Lithiana can sit in my demon's face 😍

i'm sure she'll be very happy for you to deliver on that offer, anon 😏 she might even reciprocate...

(glad you're enjoying the game!!)
