Who would you consider to be the most "evil" character in your stories?
hmm, i think it would be a close tie between dystopia au amon and idol au kidnapper
they're evil in quite different ways though.
amon is very self aware and he knows he is a selfish asshole, he just doesn't care. he can effectively put on a mask and pretend to not be as bad but he sees other people entirely as beneath him. he knows that him doing what he does to sol is morally wrong but he has along accepted it and he doesn't care about that.
amon is extremely evil in his actions but as a (fictional) person I cant really hate him because at least he is honest. i have a weak spot for awful characters that are fully aware of how bad they are, i admit XD
he is lowkey inspired in kanou from okane ga nai, but unlike kanou who mostly >tries< to avoid hurting ayase directly, amon actively gets off from hurting sol. he just gets really mad when ppl do it without his express authorization :p
kidnapper, on the other hand, was created to be not only evil but someone i would truly hate (even being in a fictional setting).
so yea, personally i do think he is worse.
he is the opposite of amon in the the sense that he truly believes himself to be a good person
he truly believes he is saving sol's life. he is so good at justifying his actions to himself that he really thinks that sol's "punishments" are something he only does out of necessity, for sol's own good, and not because he actively gets off to that.
in his mind, his extreme bigotry is not only justified, but logical. he isn't wrong, its the rest of society that is.
and, as i said before, he truly believes he is saving sol from that "fucked up world" as he sees it
i think that's what makes him such an infuriating character
another, uhm... interesting(?) thing about kidnapper is that he is actually kind of a good father to their kids. kiiiinda. he doesn't really do any of the actual work that raising a child involves, but he does try to spend time with them and be somewhat present. the kids genuinely like spending time with him and run to the door to say hi when gets home. basically he gets to be the "fun parent" and poor sol gets stuck with being the "nagging, annoying one" since he actually has to educate them.
which yes, is very fucked up.
anyway, he is a good parent to children and only children, once they turn into teenagers and start wanting some autonomy, shit starts going bad :p now suddenly sol is the good, reasonable parent in their eyes lol. well also because i assume teenagers are more aware of shit happenning around them than you'd expect. I'll stop talking tho, don't want to spoil the plot I have mind :p
anyway...
there's two other characters that could in theory compete with these two in awfulness which are ganenver's ex fiance and drover (from lie) but i haven't developed them that much yet so just know that the first one is more similar to kidnapper and the other acts in similar ways to dystopia au amon (but without the mafia boss type of money and influence or living in a dystopian society lol)
I have a question: Is it okay if other artists use the whole iron stopping regeneration (with credit ofc)?
Complete understand if it's a no, it's an amazing concept! Love your art regardless, wish all the best 🩷
Is it possible to adopt a public relief
Oooo, a trans demon sol would be such a cool idea
Pregnant amon? How is sol with amon when he's pregnant?
Amon Cock and Ball torture when
I love your ocs! I don't know why, but hael's being a demon in an angel's body is really gender euphoric to me, he's mega cool
Oh dear, what's going to happen when he does end up realising he hurt people a lot? Is sol going to be okay? What about their relationship together?
tbh i haven't thought of details about this D: he will probably quit his job and try to protect sol and try to treat him as a person but at that point sol is so fucked in the head already that he breaks down and cries if anyone insists he is not a pet so... also his relationship with his kids is already down the drain so it's extremely strained. anyway, yea, it's angst time LOL
Oooo what if amon were to discover about hael being a "mistake" in the pet system, after all he and his boyfriend/situationship dagon believes and "knows" this to be true. After all, hael's brother was ultimately chosen as a pet, and hael himself is a demon not an angel.
oh, dagon does tell him eventually. it happens shortly after malachi reaches adulthood, timeline-wise. amon does does believe them and treats hael as a demon from that day forward. its one of the many things that make him start questioning the whole thing and he starts to wonder if maybe its not that hael being picked was a mistake, but the whole system itself :p
the first catalyst for the change is him starting to see sol as a person ofc, the hael thing kindles it and the whole ordeal with malachi and uriel is what end up really tipping the scales and makes him get over his ego and accept he hurt people. a lot.
Would have Amon treated sol differently if Sol had dysphoria over being an angel? If sol or another angel under his care as a "pet" were to very clearly be trans, would he see this as a mistake in the pet system?
i don't think so, tbh. amon, at the start of the story is still very stubborn and set in his own ways, which means that while he disagrees with people that treat pets as literal objects and think they should be treated "better" (his own idea of good treatment is quite messed up though, considering his job), he ultimately still believes in the pet system. he would likely think sol is just "being silly" and at most might try to accommodate for physical dysphoria if he sees sol is too depressed but would still treat him as an angel/not take him seriously as a demon
could it change as the story went? yea, probably, maybe even faster than with canon sol but sol himself would end up with much, much more resentment and anger towards him
What’s Soleil and Amons sexualities?
in aus where they are human, amon is bi and sol is gay
in the canon it's probably the same but i feel that since gender is so fucking weird there due to the angel/demon thing it would probably not translate 1 to 1. amon would probably not change much (he'd be into any gender, demon or angel) but for sol i honestly think he'd be into demons only (but also in extreme denial about it pre-draft)
....also sorry it took me 7 months to answer this i forgor
Show us a trans demon, or a trans angel character! Id love to know how an angel transitions to a demon and vice versa, what procedures are there for them?
the ocs i have that mostly aligns with what you asked you be either lily, dagon and hael, in order lol
lily not so much actually because she's transfem in a more "close to irl" way, since she's trans in the gender sense, but i thought i'd still mention her because you asked about procedures and she does take a in-world equivalent to hrt and has had tail reduction surgery :3
dagon doesn't really see himself as either angel or demon, but he's also not suuuuuper dysphoric about it so he never seeked anything procedure-wise in that regard. except for boob removal LOL. the little dysphoria he still has is about his hooves and while there is surgery to make them look more like feet, most doctors would refuse to do it without tail removal (the excuse is balancing issues) and his tail is VERY important to him, so he wouldn't do it. he might shave his horns from time to time (horns in inferna work kinda like nails except with nerve endings :p) but he wouldn't be worried about keeping them that way, he'd enjoy the different stages of growth and then shave them again once they reach max size lol.
also there's hael, who is a trans demon buuuuuuut ended up drafted. he also ended up being bought by dagon, who actually believes that the draft made a mistake with him and tries his best to be accommodating and let him live as a regular person in secret and without getting either of them in trouble. dagon eventually manages to get him hrt-equivalent meds that would make more hair grow on the end of his legs, and make horns, tail and ears grow :p. For ppl assigned angel at birth(?), however, due to their regen, they need to remove those parts continuously and wait for regrowth each time, while taking hrt, to see effects. (this is a bit hard to explain, hopefully it makes sense?) i think he'd only feel safe enough to get surgery for either wing removal or feet reshaping once things start getting more chaotic in inferna and the pet system start to crumble for real, so it would take time.
(if anything about hael doesn't make that much sense, read his page https://s4dsqu1d.nfshost.com/inferna/canonprofiles.html , it should help, i think)
also to answer some more about procedures specifically:
-there's hrt for "both sides" that work on horns, tail, ears and certain places of body hair development, ether by slowing down/shrinking or making it grow. for growth, you need to have regen powers + keep cutting the limb off
-they're pretty advanced medically so most surgeries you can think of probably exist.
-ppl assigned angel at birth usually have regen powers and ppl assigned demon at birth tend to have enchanting-like powers, that's the only thing you can't really change :s
-well, technically you can't change height too drastically either, but you can change it a bit to make dysphoria related to it more manageable
Idea vault idea: Idol Au Sol after getting his boob job and some other plastic surgery?
Idea vault idea: Pet Sol with an electric collar getting shocked >:3
Idea Vault: so you know how Amon has a supposed fascination with Angel feet? I think we need a Sol foot massage image or just a Sol foot torture set 💪😩
