Description
EDIT: Huh...I think that the whole thing with the failed uploads was because there was a link to a forbidden page. Trying to figure out how THAT works, but at least it's done. After all that...AND NOW! The moment you've all been waiting for! The descriptions that y'all need for this ragtag band of demon princes! Only four out of seven, plus one more if you count Baal. Buuuut that's for another time. Can't use my tablet for the weekdays, so I'll likely put up the other concepts on paper. Anyway...to get onto the meat of the page.
-----------------------------------
The Seven Princes of Hell.
Otherwise known as the Hellmouth. The pinnacles of Cauldron's evils and vices, they are charged with carrying out the dark will of Rahab onto the world. And Tara can do nothing to stop them yet. Because each one of them can emanate an aura that channels the soul-shattering suffering of the damned, causing hellish agony to mortals who fall within its radius.
The only way to guard against it is to gain the prayers and boons of the Seven Archangels.
Tara does not have this yet. So...for now, she can do nothing against them. But learn, and go find the Angels. Before it's too late for her.
-----------------------------------
Ashmedai (Prince of Lust)
Ref: c1.staticflickr.com/4/3850/144…
- He is the kind of demon who knows the burning desires and wishes of others. Not just carnal lust, but many other things that people will desperately grasp at. Enough to be tempted into making a potentially dangerous deal with him to attain it, despite his obviously demonic nature. He shows a humorous, witty, and jovial personality that would lead others to believe he's not all bad. And trustworthy enough to keep his word in a bargain. That is...until there is something or someone that HE desperately desires. When that occurs...no one must get between him and the object of his pursuits.
Make no mistake...the niceties are just an act. His way of "playing with his food". Because he is a monster through and through, just like the other members of the Hellmouth.
-----------------------------------
Beelzebul (Prince of Gluttony)
Ref: c8.alamy.com/comp/MBD4TC/demon…
- He is the kind of demon who devours everything in his path, by any means possible. Beelzebul has very little mind of what's around him, instead seeing all the world and its people as a resource to be plundered. Conveniences to be enjoyed. Food to be eaten. He is incredibly powerful, having the ability to encase himself in a pupa and grow enormous. Thus, the suffering of others is completely beneath his notice, as he steals and wastes the resources of the world. Spreading only plague, famine, death and destruction in his wake, even sacrificing other demons to his appetite.
He is also responsible for an alarmingly large number of possessions. Even when in a mortal body, he acts as a destructive force of nature, rather than a demon.
-----------------------------------
Lucifer (Prince of Pride)
Ref: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
- One of the most infamous demons of all, he had once been a angel to Ziz himself. And one of the most brilliant of all at that, until Ziz had begun to create mortal races. And charge the Angels to seeing to their growth and well-being, as they had begun to blossom into being. But Lucifer had not just objected to Ziz's choice. But brazenly proclaimed that the Angels should only serve themselves, and use mortals to do their bidding. AND...when his attempt at self-proclaimed leadership was rejected, he started a war in Heaven. And Ziz cast him down with a heavy heart. An incident that amounts to a misbehaved kid throwing a temper tantrum, and being put into time out.
That's him. That's Lucifer. Thus...he is the kind of demon who blames all of Cauldron's people for his fall from grace. And will do anything to see them damned, just like him.
-------------------------------------
Lotan (Prince of Envy)
Ref: i.ytimg.com/vi/bHNd4lxYRVU/max…
- Lotan is the direct progeny of Rahab. He is the least intelligent member of the Hellmouth, barely being capable of intelligent thought. However, what thought he does have in his head channels Rahab's envy and hatred towards all living things on the Ascended Kingdoms. Envious that for all of his power, he is trapped in Hell, and unable to exact his revenge upon Cauldron personally. So...it is Lotan's duty to exact his will. Punishing Cauldron's pitiful existence by using his great mouth to act as a connection between Hell and the mortal realms, allowing numerous demons to spill into the world to spell its damnation.
Thus...he is the kind of demon who is at least aware that he is feeling someone else's emotions. But is just as happy to see Cauldron plunged into fire and death.

Thank ya very kindly dude!
Sorry it took me a while to finally get it right. But in any case, glad to make these guys as detestable as they are.
If anything, it gives more of a reason for Tara and co. to reach for the Archangels' blessing, and finally start punching these guys in their stupid little faces!

Of course they are...they are among THE worst of the worst.
There's still three more to go, plus Baal.
And as of now, they're totally out of the Flare Guild's league!
Better get to finding those angels before they start showing up to them in person~!

So how does one go about finding these angels?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
TipsyRa1d3n In reply to TheHook1 [2019-02-12 01:41:22 +0000 UTC]
Why, this is how!
Through finding seven temples scattered around Cauldron. Spatial junctions between the mortal world, and the High Heavens above.
Places she and the others must go to, in order to learn the virtues and spiritual training they need to face off against the numerous demons headed their way. To resist the temptation, trickery and agony that they will attempt to thrust upon our heroes.
Through their experiences in these divine realms, will they find the fortitude to hold their own against the Hellmouth without letting their "agony aura" put them down.
And...with every trial they pass, they will officially recruit that Archangel for the final battle.
They'll need ALL the help they can get.

TipsyRa1d3n In reply to TheHook1 [2019-02-12 02:24:21 +0000 UTC]
They sure are.
OH!! And this just gave me a grand idea!
The Flare Guild has realized that they need to do a LOT of traveling to get to these temples. So they have made some plans to somehow procure an Airship to help them fly across the Kingdoms, and ensure nobody gets left behind.
And coincidentally, they happen upon ANOTHER organization that is also traveling around Cauldron to find important stuff. Like say...tech.
One that does need protection in these increasingly dangerous times.
Guess who??

NNNNNNOP. At the rate they're going, the Blades aren't gonna last much longer.
But here's a clue.
...the Flare Guild needs a navigator to get them around Cauldron. Or one could even say...
...a Wayfarer?

TipsyRa1d3n In reply to TheHook1 [2019-02-12 04:30:05 +0000 UTC]
*SNERK* Plumbing Guild. And they slay evil turtles and collect WAY too much gold. XD
But yup! The Gizmo Guild!
With Liliel's connections, a truly unexpected source has blessed them with a big airship. Big enough to neatly house even Lyn, as well as numerous members from BOTH guilds!
And thus, Liliel has used her diplomatic power to propose an alliance. The Gizmo Guild provides the transportation and brainpower, while the Flare Guild provides fighters and reinforcements to help them collect what they need to! Y'know, without getting killed by demons or other assorted baddies.

Incidentally, Lotan is also the name for my own take on the Prince of Envy - although that version is female. Interesting that you've used medieval art as a basis for the designs of your Ashmedai and Lotan, and that Lucifer looks like a little kid here. Also nice to see that Ashmedai, who is usually associated with the sin of lust, is neither female nor, uh, "well-endowed" as it were.
Can't wait to read your descriptions of these guys, and also get to know the other three of the seven princes, assuming you're implementing that idea.

TipsyRa1d3n In reply to SkarmorySilver [2019-02-11 19:42:24 +0000 UTC]
- Huh! Coincidental that you mention that! About Lotan, made his design to look just like medieval paintings of the Hellmouth.
- And as for Lucifer and Ashmedai? They're both based off of designs of the Dictionnaire Infernal, which did indeed depict Lucifer as looking like a child. ^^ And it'll be my basis for some of the remaining ones too.
- Had trouble deciding whether to depict him differently than Satan/Sathanas in my story. That is, until I figured I'd try using the "Seven Headed Dragon" as inspiration. Still not done yet, but it'll get there!
- Also...Ashmedai. While I followed the Dictionnaire's design, I made his legs not of a cockerel. But...a duck. Because if you know anything about nature, you'll KNOW why having duck features makes him 10x more vile and creepy. @_@
Because well...he's a demon. He represents the ugly side of lust, and is NOT out to make people feel good.

SkarmorySilver In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2019-02-12 04:46:01 +0000 UTC]
Perhaps I should go back over the demon designs I made, I've already updated one of them and need to get the others worked over again. I have plans for the themes of everybody and hopefully I can make something good out of it!
Also, oooh. I totally understood what you meant with him having duck bits, in more ways than one. And the seven headed dragon for Satan would definitely be interesting, since I haven't seen a draconic demon just yet despite the two concepts being closely associated in some European myths. Gonna keep an eye out for the rest of the princes and reserve stating my tastes for when all of them are revealed - though I'll say right now that you're doing great with what you have so far! Keep it up!
