Hell's Corners - Springtime 4 Satan

Geoffrey Patrick McNamara
Human soul • Age upon death: 21
Height: 5'9" • Weight: 160 • Libra

In life, Jeff never really fit anywhere. Too gawky and literate to mesh with the Abercrombie & Fitch set and not gawky and literate enough to hook up with the D&D crowd, he spent a lot of time on the internet memorizing the Mentor's Last Words and trolling on anime message boards. His script kiddie existence cut short by a yuppie's sportscar, Jeff finds himself struggling just as hard to adjust to life in Hell. Bad enough the cost of living is outrageous and everything he wants has to be bought via his horrible factory job's insane Chuck E. Cheese incentive program, but he's further tormented by the Dianic sex appeal of one neighbor and the unending baked goods of another, and compounding matters both of them are apparently cannibals, and Jeff was never one for resisting peer pressure.

"Nightwillow"
Human soul • Age upon death: 19
Height: 5'7" • Weight: 120 • Scorpio

Nightwillow isn't even the girl next door's name -- she was a pagan way before it was in vogue -- but she'd rather Jeff call her by the ludicrous My Little Pony monicker he decides is her "craft name" than actually have to tell him anything about herself. A scholar of mythology and mysticism, well-versed in lore and ritual from all over the world, she was the illegitimate child of a British officer and his Indian mistress, and having been burned alive by her father's wife she's sort of desensitized and somewhat close-mouthed about who she is, but that's the extent of her inhibitions. She picks up enough Demonic to learn the trick of consuming demons to assume their power and starts the "Euchre Club" to learn more of what's going on and hopefully escape Hell. A person can only putz around in their Zen garden so many centuries. Jeff finds the dichotomy of Nightwillow's secretive, feminine mystique and savage, take-no-shit leadership irrisitably hot -- and he's always liked the Goth look, anyway -- but is completely terrified of her.

Wolfgang Zorg von Kinckelbach
Human soul • Age upon death: 33
Height: 6'2" • Weight: 260 • Taurus

People don't usually last four and a half centuries in Hell (as evidenced by the availability of semi-affordable housing), but the Landsknecht Wolfgang is as dim as he is stubborn, and clings to his 16th century notion of eternal damnation with the same iron grasp that wielded a zweihander in the Kaiser's name. Which isn't to say he hasn't changed since dying in his sleep at the hands of a kampfrauen (groupie); he's taken a marked interest in baking, and since then, Euchre. He's also found someone to take orders from in neighbor "Nightwillow," who's more than willing to put his considerable muscle to good use. Despite the innate scariness of his mercenary background and codpiece, Wolfgang is by far the kindliest member of the Euchre Club, and harbors some reservation about whatever Night is planning.

Azmodeus
Archfiend (Demon Major) • Ageless
Height: 6'6" • Capricorn

An Archfiend of Hell and acting property manager of the quiet suburban community Hell's Corners. Azzy is deeply concerned with the preservation of the afterlife's geologic formations, which are endangered by the constant deluge of recetly deceased. When he's not gathering up befuddled dead with cohort Raold and paying their initial cabfare across the Styx canal, he's handing out leaflets in a Quixotic effort to defend stalactite and stalagmite alike. Supposedly he has a pair of eyes for every lesser demon that comprises him.

Lilith
Archfiend (Demon Major) • Ageless
Height: 6'2" • Scorpio

The "Queen" of the Night and manager of Sno Souvenirs.. A big Cher fan and a lavish hedonist, coarse leg hair was probably not the only reason Lilith was scrapped in favor of Eve in conventional myth.

Raold
Demon Mezzo • Ageless
Height: 6'0"

Taciturn but terribly powerful ... like Master Chupon! Azzy's horse-faced go-to demon handles most of the Archfiend's grunt work, including the heavy lifting involved in soul-cleanup and some light janitorial duties. Something of an animate chess knight, he seems physically capable of speech, but is quicker to answer with his axe.
