Character File: Mephistopheles

I guess this event confirms that Raphael does actually like Solomon’s cooking and isn’t just planning to use it as a murder weapon or smth 

believe it or not this AU is actually really tame compared to what inspired me to make it

My first draft drawings of the Obey Me AU versions of Luke and Simeon. They're part of the Armageddon AU that belongs to ITriedSoHard419-68 on Reddit.

Does the cast interact with the MC in the Armageddon au or they never meet?

Hi, thanks for the question!

That’s a good question. The simple answer is, no, they don’t meet. The long answer is:

MC will never have an “official” role in this AU- in other words, I myself will never make any content pertaining to MC. The reason for this is pretty simple- MC doesn’t really have a set role here. Because the Exchange Program was never created, MC never met the brothers, never made the pacts, never found out their angel heritage, probably doesn’t even know demons and angels exist until the war breaks out. They are, for all intents and purposes, just another random human.

However... I am very open to the idea of people incorporating their own MCs/OCs into this AU. We need more human characters, after all, and this AU does encourage other people’s contributions overall. Even "just another random human” could have an interesting spot in the AU- they could join the humans’ military forces fending off the demons and angels, they could be just a civilian trying to survive in the crossfire of war, they could meet other characters when the war is moved to the human world, etc. All of these are avenues that could be explored and I don’t want to limit to just one. MC is a very vague, nebulous concept very much left up to interpretation. So while MC doesn’t exactly have a real role in the core of this AU, different interpretations of MC can be fit into this AU by other people.

I have a question. How has Beel been doing? probably horrible, I'd imagine. but.. the food problem. how would he be handling it? would he resort cannabalism? or...?

...good question. I never entirely figured that out. I toyed with a few things, but never found something I really liked.

A while ago, someone brought up the idea of Beel taking a bite out of Belphie, and there being a big bite mark on Belphie reminding Beel of what he did. I do like that idea.

I also toyed with the possibility of the brothers sealing Beelzebub in some kind of artifact or pocket-dimension to keep him from eating them. I have mixed feelings on this one. On one hand, it probably makes the most sense because we all know Beel would be incredibly dangerous otherwise, but something just doesn't feel right.

There's also the possibility of Beel turning his hunger on anyone who threatens the brothers. The brothers would face many threats from all parties during the war, and Beel would have no problem munching down a few of them. He may get his sustenance from their enemies on the battlefield.

Honestly, I'd love to hear other opinions on this.

Lyrics that fit the AU Characters

So, as many of you probably already know, there’s a specific song that inspired this AU, and I figured I’d match some of the lyrics up to characters.

“The dark side of light,

I gave you devotion

My blood and my life.”

-Lucifer

“I trusted your stars

they were once my guide

but now they are falling,

along with the sun.”

-Belphegor

~

“Breaker of day, I gave you

My sword, my heart and my faith.

But now the sky is burning

And I scream and wonder

When did your fire become so cold?”

-Raphael

~

“Cold winds

Will come like a storm

Destroying everything,”

-Diavolo

“Everyone we love.”

-Mephistopheles

~

“What’s worth fighting for,

The reason to win,

Our land, our home, the air we breathe!”

-The Coalition

~

“What lives beneath the sun

Is written in the stars!

Why can’t you understand?!”

-Michael & Lucifer

~

“One by one

We’ll fight

Side by side

We’ll fight!

Together!”

-Simeon

i'd joke about making tea over michael's burning wings but drinking anything warm except hot chocolate makes my skeleton leave my body

wdym hot chocolate is awesome 😭

Lore IX - Rebuilding the World

<------- (Lore VIII)-------«

Though the times after the war were harsh, they eventually settled down. Everyone on all sides was terrified of starting another war after what they had just been through, and most were too weak and weary to fight hard. 

The Reformists’ ideas began to fade out as shocking incidents arose. The demon Reformists were devastated as an expedition to the Devildom led by Reformist leader Mephistopheles turned for the worst, with only Mephistopheles and Belphegor returning alive. The angels began to question what had become of them after political leaders Simeon and Raphael got into a physical altercation over their beliefs that severely wounded Simeon. Eventually, the Reformists begrudgingly conceded to the Cohabitionalists. The humans agreed to house the angels and demons, as long as they pulled their weight and helped repair the damage they had done. Slowly, together, the races began to rebuild the Human World, from the ground up.

The world was rebuilt with all three races in mind- the angels, the demons, and of course, the humans. The angels and demons’ magic came in handy for making effective use of space and resources, as well as bringing some aspects from the other two realms into the Human World. Celestial magic was used to create floating islands in the sky above the earth, which would become home to most of the angel refugees. Cave systems were expanded and modified to house the demons, who were used to living in low light. Though each race had their primary locations- the angels on the floating islands, the demons in the caves and the humans on the surface- they were all very much in contact with each other. It was certainly not unheard of for a human to live in the Celestial Isles, or a demon to live in a human city. There was much cultural diffusion between the three groups, mostly thanks to their comradery built up over the war as well as the consistent exchange of resources between the groups while they were rebuilding.

Michael officially announced his retirement soon after the arrangement to move to the Human World was settled. Everyone saw it coming- what had been done to Michael left him emotionally exhausted and mentally broken, and as such he had been unwilling to lead for quite some time. Even though Michael had been returned to normal physically, he still wasn’t mentally ready to lead again. Raphael fully supported Michael’s decision and ended up following suit, giving his endorsement to Simeon to lead the angels into a new era. The two of them now share a home in the Celestial Isles, relaxing peacefully and attempting to recover from what they had experienced. Simeon ended up being the main representative of the Celestial Realm in the World Council. 

The World Council is a gathering of representatives from all three realms. Its goal is to oversee the rebuilding of the realm and cohabitation between the races, and make decisions to move these processes further along. Simeon is the head of the council and also one of the angel representatives. Diavolo and Lucifer are demon representatives on the council, and Solomon is one of the human representatives. Raphael would eventually return from his retirement to be a representative of the Celestial Realm, having realized that his usually-busy life felt empty without having work to do (and that living with Michael was driving him cuckoo and he needed some time out of the house.)

Under the council, great progress was made to bring the races together and rebuild what had been destroyed. For the first time in ages, a bright future was ahead.

We’ve got a wonderful edit from @kitto-katsuu​! I’ll be adding it as a visual to Simeon’s character file.

Thank you so much!
