Armageddon timeline confirmed?

(Context, he’s referring to the Celestial Realm and the Devildom. This scene happened in the devilgram “The Glory Days”.)

This scene is why I like to consider this AU just another one of the countless nameless timelines Barbatos oversees in canon. So, this entire page is just one big headcanon I guess. Maybe Barbatos even warned Diavolo about the existence of this timeline or smth.

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.

Character File: Satan

Along with his brothers, Satan was drafted into the war long before it ever moved to the Human World. The seven became more close-knit than ever during that time, growing extremely protective of one another. In particular, they grew incredibly protective of Satan. This was Satan’s first time ever fighting in a war, after all. His brothers were all seasoned warriors from the Great Celestial War and the previous war between the Celestial Realm and the Devildom, while Satan was completely inexperienced. During this period, Satan was treated as the youngest in all but title.

Satan was beyond frustrated at what he perceived as being babied, leading him to be one of the most aggressive soldiers in battle in attempt to prove to his brothers that he was not to be underestimated. His vicious wrath, sly cunning and undying motivation to prove himself quickly made him notorious among demons and angels alike from very early on in the war. What made him all the more dangerous was his weapon- he wields the Hellfire Blade, a sickle-shaped sword that catches fire with green flames whenever its wielder is filled with adrenaline.

As this flaming weapon provided heat and light in a place that was growing colder and darker by the day, it was heavily sought after. However, because it could only catch ablaze during its wielder’s adrenaline rush, this meant it was only useful when Satan was angered. This led to Satan’s brothers repeatedly provoking him, further straining his relationship with them.

Like his brothers, Satan spends most of his time in demon form. He needs to be ready to use his full power at all times, after all. However, his demon form has been altered slightly. His anatomical features such as his horns and tail have remained the same, but his clothing has changed. He’s scrapped the boa- too easy to get caught on something in battle. He also scrapped the belt for similar reasons, and now wears a tight black trenchcoat to protect him from the blistering cold of the Devildom. He also wears armor, the most notable being black pauldrons covered in sharp spikes.

Though initially zealous about the war effort, Satan has grown to doubt the war more and more as he has witnessed more of its effects. The first time he truly felt that something wasn’t right was during a battle in the Celestial Realm, where he saw how worn and weary the angels were when he and his brothers had just gotten there. The scene of burnt, blinded angels with scorched, tattered wings stuck in his head, and from time to time resurfaces and makes him think. Another defining experience for him happened after he returned to the Devildom, where conditions got so bad a demon used Satan to commit assisted suicide. A demon endlessly provoked Satan until he lost control and flew into a rage, swiftly killing the demon, and when Satan calmed down and went to loot the corpse (hey, resources were scarce) he found a suicide note in the demon’s pocket. Though Satan has killed many people in his time, the fact that this demon actually wanted to die and used him to achieve that stuck with him.

By the time the war moved to the Human World, Satan’s focus had become less and less on winning the war and more on trying to simply survive and protect his brothers. They were all in poor shape and simply trying to keep themselves and each other alive. Even so, Satan’s fighter tendencies still rear their heads when an opposing force attacks the brothers first; he’s an absolutely ruthless defender who will make sure anyone who dared attack him or his brothers paid with their life.

Due to the absence of the exchange program or any real communication at all between the realms, the angels didn’t know Satan existed until his appearance in battle. They still have no idea he’s Lucifer’s brother/son, and I imagine it will be quite the bombshell when they find out. 

Announcement

This is just a bit of a status update on the blog.

Due to real-life circumstances, I’m going to be a lot less active online starting the coming Tuesday, March 22nd. I plan to still update this blog as usual, as I’ve saved up weeks worth of content in my drafts. I still plan to pop onto my blog each weekend to click publish on something from my drafts. However, there is a slight chance I won’t have the internet access to even do that.

So, if this blog goes dead for a month or so, I promise it isn’t because I abandoned this project. No, I am still wholeheartedly invested in making content for this AU and seeing what I can inspire others to create. Know that I will come back as soon as I possibly can, and I have much more planned to come.

Armageddon: What Is This AU?

The Armageddon AU is an apocalyptic alternate timeline of Obey Me in which the exchange program was never created. This page is dedicated to all the juicy details of this AU that people (mostly me) cook up in our free time. Any and all contributions, whether it be headcanons, further lore development, speculation, art, or fanfiction, are wholeheartedly welcomed.

Be aware that this AU, by nature, is extremely dark and contains disturbing subject matter that may not be suitable to everyone. No punches are pulled here; this is an apocalypse.

~~~

To keep away from one intimidating essay, the main timeline is split up over a series of Lore Posts:

Lore I - The Beginnings of Destruction

Lore II - A Disrupted Balance

Lore III - A Scorched Celestial Realm

Lore IV - Hell Frozen Over

Lore V - Power-Sick

Lore VI - The Move to the Human World

~~~

There are also Character Files, which detail the roles of specific Obey Me characters in this AU:

Character File: Simeon

Character File: Luke

Character File: Satan

Character File: Michael

Character File: Raphael

Character File: Diavolo

Regarding MC

Update

Links in posts have been properly updated; I apologize for the delay.

Little status update, I only have one major post left to make. The next lore post coming out next Saturday will be the last of the lore, and I don’t have any inspiration for more character files or fics at the moment. So, after this weekend, there will no longer be weekly long posts on the weekends.

I’ll still be here, posting little tidbits and thoughts and such about the AU and reblogging others’ Armageddon AU content like I have been throughout the weekdays. So don’t mourn; this AU isn’t over or anything like that. It’s just that the content I’d planned has run its course. 

Pssst... if you agree to do art for this AU you get early access to info...

Character File: Diavolo

Unlike the brothers, Diavolo was never sent to war. As his father is extremely protective of him, Diavolo was forbidden from going to war. He was essentially locked in the Demon Lord’s Castle. 

While Diavolo’s father viewed the eradication of the angels as the best way to protect his son, it only made Diavolo grow ill from power-sickness. Though he hid his ailment from Lucifer and the brothers to avoid worrying them, his magic was eating him from the inside out. 

This timeline’s Diavolo still strongly believes in creating a respect between the realms, but unfortunately he is completely eclipsed by his father, the sitting ruler. With the overbearing presence of his father, Diavolo’s lack of political power compared to his canon self, and his ailment weakening him, Diavolo is unable to be anywhere near as assertive about his dreams as he was in canon. He tends to be more meek, shy, and humble about his beliefs, only sharing them with those he truly trusts and only on rare occasion.

However, as the state of the Devildom grew worse and worse, and his own condition grew more and more unstable, Diavolo realized he couldn’t ignore his father’s doings forever. He was tired of hurting every second of every day, he was tired of being cooped up in the castle like a prisoner and seeing only impenetrable blackness. He was tired of wondering if his subjects were okay, of wondering whether the brothers were okay.

He began to stand up to his father, protesting his behavior and pleading with him to consider deescalating. The Demon King always refused and sent him to his room.

One day, during one of their many heated arguments over the future of the three realms, Diavolo snapped. Blinded by his immense pain and angered at the state of their people, Diavolo did the unthinkable: he attacked the Demon King. All it took was one returned blow from his father for Diavolo to realize what he had done. In shock and realizing there was no way he could defeat his father, Diavolo ceased his attack. Before he could be punished for his act of rebellion, Diavolo fled through the castle doors, out into the darkness. Diavolo never returned to the castle after that. He was completely missing. Lucifer doesn’t even know Diavolo had even gone missing, as Lucifer had been off in the human world fighting the war when the fight broke out. Left alone and cold in the darkness, Diavolo refused to give up. Having given up everything, his only option left was to pursue his dream full-force. Diavolo started by helping his citizens. By this point, most demons had fled the Devildom, but of course there were some left behind who didn’t have the means to leave. Using his magic, Diavolo was able to teleport them to the Human World.

Eventually, Diavolo learned of the situation in the Celestial Realm. Unlike the demons, the angels didn’t have a choice to immigrate to the human world, whether they had the means or not. Father had strictly forbidden any angels from leaving the Celestial Realm unless they were doing so as soldiers to join the war, as an attempt to incentivize his angels to fight for him to escape their burning wasteland. Diavolo began sneaking into the Celestial Realm and smuggling angels down to the Human World.

Before long, Diavolo had quite the force of demons and angels alike behind him, building their own makeshift shelter in the Human World. It hasn’t been found out or invaded... yet.
