Thinking about the rework again, trying to define the power dynamics and because of how Alastor is worked into HH's power scaling, who I want Alastor to be in CC. Or if I even really want to keep him because I want to toss away so much of who he is in canon, that I'm practically OC'ifying him.
(Which the same is happening to Lucifer, but I digress, the king of hell is so pivotal to the entire concept, part of a bigger lore that the show itself takes from, that tossing him out would make no sense.)
I think I want Curtain Call Alastor to still retain being an overlord and a deal maker, and I do want to keep some traits of his that I really enjoyed in the pilot - but I think his character would be a lot more interesting in the direction I'm going by reworking him into Charlie's right-hand man instead of Vaggie, and making Vaggie our 'main' character.
Because in the grand scheme of things, Alastor in canon is powerful, but he's not stronger than the king of hell or his heir. He was a menace in his hayday, toppling the other overlords - but could he overcome a Goetia, or a Sin, should one decide to put an end to him if his schemes get in the way of theirs?
Sure he's free enough to pick a fight with Lucifer, taunting him to his face - but as proven with his fight against Adam - he wouldn't win against the original fallen if Lucifer perceived him as a threat to his family.
And in CC, with Charlie's father not being that supportive of her dreams - she needs a benefactor, a voice that can reach the most wretched members of Hell and her father, and convince them to believe in and respect her in a way they will actually accept... and Alastor needs someone big on his side to keep his claims and status secure.
In CC, souls are power, to sinners and demons. Those who 'own' or absorb the most souls are the strongest within Hell, as souls are sparks of the very essence of creation, made by God himself from nothingness and yet independent of him and not bound to what he wills. Therefore, a soul is also the essence required to do one's own will onto the world, to accumulate the divinity of creation and destruction.
To pay for things in Hell (as to explain how the more commercial overlords accumulate power in the first place), you pay with specks of your very own essence, your life-force.
Life-force can be reaccumulated over time, depending on how much you use at once and how much strain you put on your soul. Go into too big of a debt, and at any point if your debtor's choosing, you will fall apart mentally and emotionally into a husk of yourself, your very being and essence scarred to the point of no return. This doesn't erase the affected individual from existence - but turns them into a thrall. A living puppet that can only be freed once their debt is paid by another.
This is also a universal means of torture in Hell, that to eat, be clothed, have a home, get transportation - you must suffer, or pay in the suffering of others. Everything hurts, everything costs you.
So CC Alastor, first off, enters Hell with one soul to his name - his own. To survive in his new environment, he uses the same charm he once used to lure his victims to their deaths and avoid capture, to become a radio host as he was in life, working under another, already established overlord, Vox.
He capitalizes on the suffering of Hell's residents by faking a hopeful, charismatic, empathetic, and doting show personality, giving the most desperate of Hell's sinners a reason to listen to his broadcasts and spend their life-force to do so : to be heard and feel seen.
He receives letters detailing their struggles, gives advice that he deducts will please and tug at their heartstrings, gives riveting commentary on recent events and news - and over time, he has dozens of adoring fans tuning into his show, no matter the cost. He doesn't actually care about them at all, but they don't know that.
And they don't care.
Because it is constant misery for so many in the overpopulated and terrifying slums of Hell, that they'd rather project feelings of camaraderie and friendship onto the one voice offering them relief, than preserve their very beings. The masses need something, anything, to keep them sane. And it may not be much life-force in the moment, merely a trickle or drop every day - but Alastor stills gets his due.
But he can't rise up in the world as long as he's under Vox, whom cuts deeply into his profits and never gives Alastor the respect he feels he deserves. He's in a rut where he has to constantly be subservient to the overlord he works for, suck up to the masses he's actually quite indifferent to, and still scraping by, even as he's come to share lodging with the one person in all of Hell that he can vent to : a sinner in the newspaper department, named Rosie.
That's where Charlie comes into play. She's not unaware of Alastor turning a profit from his business, or even that in life he was a murderer - but she looks to him as a spectacular investment and point of advertisement. She sees his reach and she wants to believe in his words too, or at least, reach the people who do.
So, she offers Alastor something he can't refuse : his own radio tower, funded by the princess of Hell, in return for helping her try to redeem sinners. She frees Alastor and Rosie from their shitty old job (because they are a package deal, your honor) and employs them as the hotel's PR team, for a much smaller cut of their profits, free housing, and a chance in the spotlight, where the two begin their rise as overlords, rivaling their old boss and creating Vox and Alastor's rivalry.
But Alastor isn't just content to sit on his laurels, and over the years, gaining more and more of Charlie's trust, she finally offers him an even greater position : to be her representative.
Due to Charlie being rather estranged from her father, the hotel and her funds are quite lacking. The place is largely run-down at this point, without the needed facilities or staff to rehibilitate anyone. And, due to her being unable to get her father to see things her way on her own, she turns to Alastor's ability to appeal to the way people think.
Lucifer still doesn't believe in Charlie's dream and considers her foolish, but Alastor makes the point to him, not that sinners CAN be redeemed - but that this is a great opportunity and means for Charlie to 'stretch her wings' and come into her own.
He informs Lucifer that she is beginning to accumulate her own power and act like an actual heir of Hell, by bringing in new talents and overlords to gain life-force for her; creating her own hierarchy and army of loyal subjects from the hotel residents... It's just that she doesn't know the 'brilliance' of her own plan yet.
Alastor 'sympathizes' with the king's worry about her squandering her own powers and ambition on 'lowly sinners'. The radio host even ensures him that he'll help Lucifer shape his daughter into a proper ruler, in return for his support, both the funding of the hotel - and a secret 'bonus' for himself.
He ends up working for both Charlie AND Lucifer, twisting the family drama to his advantage, being Charlie's shoulder to cry on, and Lucifer's errand boy. This ensures that communication between the two goes almost solely through him, because Charlie is too afraid to ruin things for the hotel by facing her father on her own, and Lucifer doesn't really have an interest in talking to her due to how busy he is ruling Hell - and frankly, not knowing HOW to talk to her.
If he can subtly crush Charlie's hopes and get her to realize her potential as a 'true ruler and demon', Lucifer will reward him greatly and he will retain Charlie's loyalty. If Charlie's dream does go through - he risks Lucifer's displeasure and Charlie finding out about his deal with her father.
Hence, Curtain Call Alastor is a deal maker that actually takes the effort to hide his true motives and intentions, acting as an antagonistic ally to Charlie.
Also, if you've gotten this far, please let me know what you think of the concept thus far - feedback goes a long way and I love to see what people think of my ramblings!

if Nimona is symbolism for the LGBT+ community, and Gloreth is kinda the symbolism for Jesus/ God, does this imply that at some point of time, the entirety if the community was childhood friends with God and were collectively betrayed by Him? and that they were possibly in love

Who is 'God' in Curtain Call? (LONG Lore Post)
As the most popularly voted option in my recent poll, and as promised - here's a run-down on the concept and characterization of God in my rework!
Disclaimer -
I will start off by saying, in a bit of a fair-warning rant, I myself was raised Christian. I've dabbled in other faiths, but for a vast majority of my life, and admittedly still, I've held a lot of Christian beliefs and values, and still believe in God.
This depiction of him is not to say that all Christians are bad, or that the faith is something 'evil and repulsive'. Rather, I seek to tackle the flaws of said faith, and how extremists twist the narrative of what is meant to be a peaceful and loving religion, to fit their own hypocritical and bigoted ideals, even to the point of inciting violence in its name. Not to mention, the deeply-rooted, hateful ideologies found in some older scriptures and the like, which still traumatize and affect the people reared under them.
I have personally experienced both love and acceptance - AND vitriol and back-handed 'kindness' from other Christians, including those I'm related to. I intend to show many different aspects of this in the story of Curtain Call.
However, for the sake of this being a fictional story, it needs to also be said - the version of God I'm going to depict, is NOT the one I personally believe in, but a character built upon the beliefs and values of extremists, inspired by the Old Testament, and the more wrathful, tyrannical idea of God.
He is a major villain, and force of nature within the narrative - NOT intended to represent God as a whole, but the worst aspects of the biblical lore and how certain followers perceive and use God as a 'hammer to everything that resembles a nail'.
Now, onto more precise and conceptual rambling, now that that is out of the way :
- Disclaimer End
God, in Curtain Call, is a being of utter, unwavering absolutes, operating under a very strict concept of black and white. He is an artist, with every new project more disposable than the last.
Ruling over Heaven as a puritanical patriarch, God monitors the very minds of those whom live in Heaven, hindering the angels' ability to think for themselves, as any inkling of 'rebellious' thought is met with intense, and often public, scrutiny.
Much of this behavior, in particular, is due to him being all powerful, with no guidance or equal to confinde in, and how the effects and consequences of first creations affected his mentality.
It was after the uprising and fall of Lucifer - one of his creations whom he adored most - that God grew to be deeply paranoid of betrayers in his midst. Before Eve and Adam partook of the apple, God hadn't ever truly experienced defiance or unpredictability. Everything had been like clockwork, contained and programmed with fond patterns.
Lucifer's temptation of the first residents of Eden, as such, shook the very core of his own understanding of the universe and himself, for many reasons.
God is largely unable to accept the idea of his own will and gospel, not being perfectly 'absolute', as in this story, giving humans free will destroyed his omnipotence. Things once came to be because he willed it - now, existence is akin to a whirlpool of desires and wants and actions, which all affect massive and minor aspects of everything. Things have been made 'impure' because humans, in possessing mortal souls, no longer just puppets strung along by God's own essence, possess their own capacity to pull change from the void.
This newfound capacity includes invention, discovery, artistry, the ability to conceive children, crafting, and the like. Hence, why clothes are the first telling act Adam and Eve commit upon eating the forbidden fruit - now bearing their own souls, they create from the world around them as God creates from the void.
Similarly, he fears his most scorned creation, Lucifer, whom inherited his ego and, unfortunately for God, a kingdom of his own.
The creation of Hell itself is considered a flaw. At first, meant to punish and 'throw away' all perceived imperfections, imprisoning them in a place where God would not have to bear witness to that which disgusted him. Yet, it was here that Lucifer discovered the powers souls possess, how to obtain them, and the means to mimic, if not rival, his own creator's powers.
Lucifer creates his daughter, a soul of his own design - and that in turn, is what brings the exterminations to begin.
To return the essence and life-force sinners accumulate, back into the universe. To prevent Lucifer from ever fully becoming any sort of true threat to Heaven, and punishing him for 'mocking' God's divine purpose by forging life.
God refuses to kill Lucifer because that would be admitting that he percieves him as a threat, that would be freeing Lucifer from his eternal punishment, displaying weakness in God's own design, and would be admitting a sort of defeat of his own.
That he could never get his son to admit his folly, and seek forgiveness. Never reclaim the 'perfection' of Eden, when things were simple and sweet for God, and toss away all the 'foolishness' of afterwards.
It is also source of control over the angels that remain in Heaven, threatening them with banishment unto Hell, should they deviate from God's will.
