Life in Hell

Since we're going to be here a bit due to holidays and other things, I thought I'd give you a 'lay of the land' if you will so you can all fully emerge the characters.

Hell is basically a city the size of New York City, or at least, the parts accessable to the characters are (there are other parts but unless they know about them, they're not going there. These include areas for punishment, other locations that fell out of favor, etc. The main section is basically the capital). The souls inside live their lives as they will. Most of them have already paid their punishments and were pardoned by Lucifer. Those that he has a particular grudge against or just doesn't care to exist in his city are still being tortured, but most souls have done their time and now have eternity to simply live, so there are people (and demons) everywhere.

The center of the city is their version of Time Square, the place where everything exciting happens. All the entertainment, shopping, public events are there. This includes strip clubs and brothels for those looking. To the left of the city is Lucifer's Fortress/Citadel/Palace/whatever. This is where everyone is currently located (and will be explained more below). To the right of the city, the river Styx winds it's way around. Normally lethal to those who aren't dead (and vampires), Lucifer has protected the citizens of Dutch so feel free to jump in and paddle around, just avoid the boatman.

Hell is based on a very strict caste system. The lowest of course are the slaves, and there are millions of them in Hell, servicing everyone. The palace has their own, and each family/person/unit has at least one assigned to them, whether or not you use them (yes, Dobby has his own slave, feel free to have a staring contest). Next up are the general workers, then the 'rich', then the guests, next are the guards, guard leaders (Bart), the harems, the harem leaders (ie: Ally), the consorts (Damon [mystic_damon], Damon [Lucifer's Prince Consort], then the ruling family (Damien, E, Lucien, Lucien, Thorn, Deliah and Lucifer). Outside this system would be the 'unwanted' (Effie Salvatore, Sammy, Matty, etc).

Damien and E are the current ruling family, though Lucifer can sneak behind them and change things simply because people are more used to listening to him. Due to Damien taking a human wife, there is a bit of rumblings of a civil war going on, one side going with Lucifer, the other with Damien. Your characters may hear about this as they move around the city, unless they're recognized (ie: Bart and Ally's brands mean they won't be talked to about politics for fear of people losing their heads).

Lucifer's Palace:

This is the main residence of everyone (who chose to be there) and the playground of the ruling family. It's a fortress, designed against the fact the worst of humanity (and demons) are located in hell and tend to get a bit uppity. While Lucifer (and Damien) could kill them with a thought, it's more fun to relax and let them fluff about.

Anything and everything you could want is located within it's walls, and it's a self contained unit, hosting everything from the residences to a small mall, to a court system. It's a city within a city and takes up the same space. If you ever want to create something for your characters to do and don't want them out amongst the people, feel free to toss it in here. Due to the concentration of magic, much like Dutch, some things will just randomly appear as your character desires it. For everything else there are the slaves (who by the way, are earning their freedom, so feel free to use them without feeling too creepy. More work they do, the faster they're free).

Note: Regarding the harems, there IS a guest harem (there are four total, Lucifer's, Damien's, E's and the guests). This means your character and/or their partner are free to play around for kinky fun time. The harem's are filled with willing men, women, other who volunteered for their positions due to the increased status and position. They are third in charge and enjoy a very comfortable life. They are also a protected class, with their own guards and the laws for harming them are severe. I don't read every post, so if one of your character attacks/harms a harem member (you are free to do so), let me know so Lucifer/E can react accordingly. Sex with Lucifer/E/Damien's harem members without permission is punishable by death and/or castration.

...everything I can think of right now, go forth and cause chaos!
