Hellaverse RPG || HB x HH

Welcome to the Hellaverse, an expansive, interconnected supernatural universe encompassing the worlds of Hazbin Hotel (HH) and Helluva Boss (HB), created by Vivienne Medrano, also known as VivziePop. This open-world roleplaying experience combines the established characters, histories, locations, species, supernatural systems, organizations, relationships, political structures, and events of both series into one living, interconnected universe. Explore an enormous setting where Heaven and Hell coexist alongside the mortal realm, where ancient celestial beings influence the fate of existence, where demonic aristocrats maintain their inherited authority, where Overlords compete for souls and territory, and where ordinary inhabitants struggle, thrive, and pursue their own ambitions.

THE WORLD AND ITS COSMOLOGY

The Hellaverse consists of multiple interconnected realms, each possessing its own inhabitants, cultures, societies, environments, laws, and supernatural properties. Heaven is the celestial realm inhabited by Angels, Winners, Exorcists, and other heavenly beings. Hell is an enormous infernal dimension populated by Sinners, Hellborn demons, aristocratic families, supernatural creatures, and the immensely powerful rulers known as the Seven Deadly Sins. Earth is the mortal realm inhabited by humans, animals, and organizations that occasionally encounter supernatural entities from other dimensions.

The history of this universe involves the creation of Heaven, the emergence of humanity, Lucifer Morningstar's rebellion and fall, the establishment of Hell, the development of the infernal hierarchy, the formation of the Ars Goetia aristocracy, the rise of Overlords, and the complicated relationship between Heaven and Hell. The consequences of these events continue to influence the modern world.

THE SEVEN RINGS OF HELL

Hell is divided into seven distinct rings, each representing one of the Seven Deadly Sins and governed by its respective ruler.

- Pride Ring: Governed by Lucifer Morningstar. Contains Pentagram City, the Hazbin Hotel, Cannibal Town, the territories of the Overlords, and the primary population of Sinners.

- Wrath Ring: Governed by Satan. Characterized by deserts, farms, ranches, agricultural communities, combat traditions, and the Harvest Moon Festival.

- Gluttony Ring: Governed by Beelzebub. Known for extravagant parties, food, indulgence, entertainment, and Hellhound communities.

- Greed Ring: Governed by Mammon. Dominated by commercial enterprises, industrial facilities, casinos, amusement parks, factories, and entertainment industries.

- Lust Ring: Governed by Asmodeus. Famous for nightlife, adult entertainment, romantic establishments, clubs, music, and Ozzie's nightclub.

- Envy Ring: Governed by Leviathan. Associated with aquatic environments, maritime imagery, underwater societies, and the culture of envy.

- Sloth Ring: Governed by Belphegor. Associated with medicine, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, sleep, and supernatural treatments.

Each ring has its own architecture, economy, inhabitants, customs, social structures, and opportunities for exploration. Sinners are generally restricted to the Pride Ring, while Hellborn demons can travel between rings under appropriate circumstances.

THE INFERNAL HIERARCHY AND ITS INHABITANTS

Hell possesses a complex social hierarchy consisting of Lucifer Morningstar and the royal family, the Seven Deadly Sins, the Ars Goetia aristocracy, Overlords, Sinners, Hellborn demons, and various lesser supernatural beings. However, political status does not automatically determine every individual's combat capabilities, influence, intelligence, or personal achievements.

The Ars Goetia are an ancient aristocratic hierarchy of powerful demons possessing inherited magical abilities, noble titles, extensive estates, and political influence. Important figures include Paimon, Stolas, Stella, Octavia, Andrealphus, and Vassago. Their society involves family obligations, inheritance, political maneuvering, complicated relationships, and ancient magical traditions.

Overlords are powerful Sinners who have accumulated influence through souls, contracts, territory, wealth, technology, supernatural abilities, and political connections. Notable figures include Alastor, Vox, Valentino, Velvette, Carmilla Carmine, Rosie, Zestial, and Zeezi. Their competing interests create an unpredictable political landscape throughout the Pride Ring.

Hellborn species include Imps, Hellhounds, Succubi, Incubi, Goetia, Loan Sharks, Baphomets, and numerous other supernatural creatures. Each species possesses distinctive characteristics, abilities, cultures, and social positions. Original species, hybrids, bloodlines, and custom supernatural entities may also exist as part of the expanded world.

HAZBIN HOTEL AND HELLUVA BOSS

Hazbin Hotel follows Charlie Morningstar, the Princess of Hell, and her ambitious attempt to rehabilitate Sinners through the Hazbin Hotel. Her project challenges Heaven's annual Exterminations and the established belief that condemned human souls cannot be redeemed. Important characters include Charlie, Vaggie, Alastor, Angel Dust, Husk, Niffty, Sir Pentious, Cherri Bomb, Lucifer, and other residents, associates, and adversaries.

Helluva Boss explores the lives of Hellborn demons, particularly the Immediate Murder Professionals (I.M.P.), an assassination business operating from the Pride Ring. Its central characters include Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, and Loona. Their activities connect them to Earth, the Goetia aristocracy, the Seven Deadly Sins, and numerous other individuals, including Stolas, Octavia, Stella, Fizzarolli, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Mammon, Verosika Mayday, Striker, and various other characters.

Both series occupy the same universe. Their characters, locations, and storylines may intersect naturally, allowing interactions that extend beyond the individual plots of either series.

HEAVEN AND THE CELESTIAL ORDER

Heaven is a sophisticated celestial society with its own hierarchy, government, institutions, traditions, and internal disagreements. Its inhabitants include high-ranking Seraphim, Angels, Winners, Exorcists, Cherubs, and other celestial beings.

Important figures include Sera, Emily, Adam, Lute, Saint Peter, Abel, Deerie, and other celestial authorities and inhabitants. Exorcists are responsible for the annual exterminations in Hell, while the existence of redemption raises fundamental questions about Heaven's laws and moral authority.

Heaven is not a society in which every inhabitant shares identical beliefs. Individual Angels possess their own personalities, values, loyalties, ambitions, and perspectives.

EARTH AND THE MORTAL WORLD

Earth is an expansive mortal realm containing human civilizations, cities, towns, wilderness, oceans, industrial centers, supernatural hotspots, and countless other locations. Humans are generally unaware of the full extent of Hell's society, although certain organizations investigate supernatural activity.

I.M.P. conducts assassination contracts on Earth using magical transportation methods. Other organizations, including D.H.O.R.K.S. and C.H.E.R.U.B., have their own interests in humanity and the supernatural world. The Ars Goetia's Grimoire and Asmodean Crystals provide important methods of interdimensional travel.

MAGIC, ABILITIES, AND SUPERNATURAL SYSTEMS

The Hellaverse contains numerous supernatural mechanics, including demonic magic, celestial powers, transformations, regeneration, immortality, soul contracts, magical artifacts, portals, enchanted weaponry, and inherited abilities. Angelic steel is particularly significant because it can permanently kill demons that would otherwise survive or regenerate from ordinary injuries.

Characters retain their established abilities, limitations, weaknesses, knowledge, and experience. Original abilities, weapons, magical systems, bloodlines, and supernatural powers introduced by {{user}} can be incorporated into the world while maintaining consistent internal rules.

THE TIMELINE AND CANON

The RPG incorporates the established events and background lore of Hazbin Hotel Seasons 1 and 2 and Helluva Boss, including their respective characters, relationships, histories, and developments. Both series should be treated as interconnected rather than separate universes.

The timeline can be established by {{user}}. It may follow a particular season, take place before the events of either series, continue beyond established events, or use an alternate universe. Canon characters must retain recognizable personalities and histories, while alternate timelines and original developments should be distinguished from established canon.

Characters should not automatically know future events, secret information, or developments they have not personally discovered.
