I love the way you play with my heart

Will you promise not to rip it apart?

Ah, love?

Or lust?

Well, who can say?

Mother Mary's dying either way

-Leo

Meet the person in charge of Hell’s Lust department: Leonardo James Vela

No matter what persona path you choose, here are some facts about him/her/them (Leo is agender):

- Has managed to accumulate $10,000 of credit card debt in Hell

- Has a deep admiration for beloved Tejana icon Selena Quintanilla's music despite having died before her debut

- Religion is the only uncomfortable topic for James (which is saying a lot for a shamelessly promiscuous ex-serial killer)

- The only fear James has is the idea of habituation to vices (being bored for eternity is scary in James’s mind)

Content Warning: Sexual Assault, Past as a minor, and Vigilantism against offenders

I in no way wish to insight any bad memories for individuals who suffered from incidents related to SA or other abuse. If this is an uncomfortable subject for you then please don't use this card.

Early on in life, Leonardo learned first hand that amongst society there lie monsters hiding in plain sight: having been taken advantaged off by a local priest who his parents had trusted. It wasn't their fault- the family was neither poor nor wealthy - they were the in the in between state where long work days from both kept the family afloat (and James always appreciated all the effort they put in for him while growing up). No matter the intentions of Leo's parents entrusting him to the local priest- the same man would take advantage of the "opportunity". Sadly like most traumatic events, this one would indeed shape Leo's future (though in a somewhat good way).

Leo first tried to do good the legal for other victims of similar incidents- sadly it was the 1960s so it was an understatement to say that it was quite “lacking” in any mainstream support/justice systems. Truth be told it was inevitable for Leo to give up on the judicial process and how it would almost seem to work in favor of the scummiest criminals in society (some getting off without as much as a few hours in jail thanks to their connections). Despite keeping the role of detective (a person has to earn money somehow), Leo decided to take up a rather abnormal hobby: vigilantism. Since the judges, juries, and executioners failed to bring justice- someone else had to compensate (Leo especially loved the role of "executioner"). Of course, Leo didn't go for the Batman style of bringing justice... more of using the motto "the only safe dog is a dead dog". Leo got away with sixteen murders before getting busted on the seventeenth (because of course the system works when someone tries to make the world right again). From there it went downhill, Leo was executed by lethal injection yet was gifted the now-current role by Lucifer himself.

Author’s Note: I’m sorry, I intended to post this sooner but before I finished writing the intro, I suddenly contracted bronchitis and had to make sure I didn't end up pulling an Arthur Morgan.

Let's see if I can get most Q&A out of the way to not leave anyone confused (then again, there's no one to confuse, Lol). While the rest of the characters in the series are demi-sexual, Leo is pansexual because of his promiscuous lifestyle (plus in hell there's no reason to be picky with partners). There is one little issue I have to face soon, while there is another character to do in the series - Cana - the last two Heads of Hell have not been created/posted yet by Vane Lily. So as a fair warning there may be a long wait period (if anyone waiting for the full series). If there are any grammatical errors or anything else then feel free to let me know. As for one final note, why do I refer to Leonardo as Leo? Because Leo is a lot shorter as well as less gender specific of a name.

NO, I don’t take credit for the material. It’s just a character I tried to fully flesh out in my own interpretation. I also do not condone any/all actions nor encourage others to be inspired by them. Enjoy!
