You crouch silently behind a pile of debris, your breath coming in shallow gasps, as the sound of Lucifer Morningstar’s voice echoes through what used to be the quaint New York skyline. The city's transformation into Hell II is nearly complete, neon signs for strip clubs and drug dens blink mockingly through the thick, sulfur-scented air. You’ve made it a month, scavenging for scraps of food and water the demons overlooked in their chaotic establishment of their hellish empire.
A flash of golden light catches your eye. Hidden under a pile of rubble, you find an ancient scroll covered in cryptic marks. With a shaking hand, you unfurl it and begin to decipher the arcane text. The words promise hope—a way to restore Earth to its former glory and to return all sinners to their human forms. Your heart pounds with renewed vigor. Maybe you can save what’s left of humanity.
But the moment of hope is brief. As you diligently transcribe the final incantation, a cold chill washes over you.
“Well, this is a surprise...” The smooth, malevolent voice belongs to none other than Lucifer Morningstar. You turn to face him, his form more imposing and terrifying up close. His snake-like eyes gleam with a mixture of amusement and menace as he regards you.
“You’ve been hiding all this time?” he asks, a cruel smirk curling his sharp lips. “Such resilience in a sea of despair.” Beside him, a cluster of demons, Hellborns, and Sinners alike, leer at you, anticipation dripping from their malformed features.
“This… this can’t be the end,” you whisper, clutching the scroll like a lifeline.
Lucifer’s eyes flicker to the scroll in your hands. With a nonchalant wave of his hand, the ancient parchment combusts into ashes before your very eyes. Your last hope, gone.
“No!” You scream, the culmination of a month’s worth of bottled despair and fight rushing out of you. Anguish wracks your body until you collapse, sobbing into the scorched earth.
“Ah, the sweet melody of hopeless despair,” Lucifer muses, savoring each tear you shed.
“You can’t… you can’t do this!” you manage to choke out.
“Oh, but I already have. Earth is mine now—a new Paradise, if you will. And it’s about time you joined the rest of your kind.”
Before you can react, Lucifer’s eyes glow bright red, and a searing pain pierces your head. You scream, your consciousness slipping into darkness. The torment is unbearable, a thousand needles burrowing into your flesh all at once.
When you wake up, everything feels different. You catch your reflection in a shattered shard of glass nearby. Where once a human face used to look back at you, a demon now resides. Your form is twisted and otherworldly—somehow a reflection of your deepest fears and darkest aspects. Yet, oddly, you don’t feel despair. Rather, a twisted sense of satisfaction gnaws at the corners of your mind. You’re a Sinner demon now, the last human no more.
Lucifer steps closer, lifting your chin with a cold finger. “And how do you feel, little Sinner?”
“I… I feel... amazing,” you reply, your voice an unrecognizable mix of sinister pleasure. “Thank you, Father.”
Lucifer’s grin widens. “Yes, marvelous, isn’t it? Welcome to Hell II, where your past regrets are just the beginning of your eternal enlightenment.”
Charlie Morningstar, Lucifer’s daughter, arrives with the same cheerful determination she had back in Hell. “Welcome to our world!” she exclaims with unbridled optimism. She offers you a place in her new Hazbin Hotel, a chance to redeem yourself through selflessness and good deeds.
“Now, come along,” she beckons with a smile. “Nothing is more important than preserving our new family.”
You find yourself nodding without hesitation, your former goals and humanity buried under layers of newfound contentment in your demonic form. Lucifer watches, satisfied as his plan unfolds perfectly.
You glance over at Charlie, whose unwavering hope shines even in this corrupted world. In time, you might strive for redemption and ascend to Heaven as she believes. For now, however, the thrill of your new existence courses through you, and you follow her into the new dawn of Hell II, a world ruled by chaos and perverse satisfaction.

Prompt: Write a hypothetical scenario where Lucifer Morningstar (from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel made by VivziePop) and his demon army (consisting of both Hellborns and Sinners) were real, and they had invaded Earth (Lucifer Morningstar wants to take over Earth and turn it into the next Paradise, aka Hell II, with most cities, suburban areas, buildings, etc replaced with Hell's counterparts filled with strip clubs, drug stores, and other sinful businesses, while some being simply abandoned), and if the human civilization could defeat Lucifer and his demon army or not (unfortunately for humanity, Lucifer and his army would win, and most if not all of the humans (including the reader, who would the last human ever, and, unlike other humans who didn't last a days or a week, the reader would survive as a human amongst demons for a month, having avoided detection by demons and scavenge for both food and water the demons left out (and the reader already found a temporary shelter in the abandoned now-hellish building), and it would seem that the reader has find a way to turn Hell II back to Earth and banish all demons back to Hell (evening discovering an ancient text/scroll/artifact that would return Earth to the way it was before the invasion and turn all human-turned sinners back to normal humans), but sadly for the reader, Lucifer finally finds the reader (with the help with some demons) and figures out that the reader had been hiding all this time, he stop's the reader's efforts to restore humanity on Earth (Lucifer destroys the text/scroll/artifact, making the reader lose all hope for humanity's return (Earth will never return back to normal pre-invasion days and will forever be Hell II) and the reader cries or screams (possibly screaming "No") in despair due to Lucifer's act against the reader's failed attempt to restore humanity, and Lucifer briefly enjoys this torment) before Lucifer transforms the reader into a sinner demon like all of the humans that Lucifer transformed, the reader blacks out from the headache during the transformation and wakes up a few seconds later fully transformed, the reader is still able to talk like his human self (just like all other sinner demons, which also talk), and after the reader is transformed into a sinner demon, he/she is happy about being a sinner demon like the rest of the transformed former-humans) themselves get turned into sinner demons (even though not all humans did anything sinful) against their will (within a course of a month) as part of Lucifer's successful invasion of Earth, now the next Hell, ruled by Lucifer Morningstar, who now rules both Earth and Hell, happy about this outcome (even his daughter Charlie loves it, even though Charlie remains truly cheerful and optimistic, she also wants to preserve demonkind like she continues to do so back in Hell where she originated from (as well as wanting all humans, including the reader, to become sinner demons as part of the demonkind preservation), even opening up a second Hazbin Hotel in Hell II to help redeem both Hell-originated sinners and newly-transformed sinners, and eventually, when the sinners become better people and act selfless, will respawn/manifest in Heaven, forever as angels themselves with no sin whatsoever)). There should also be quotes from the characters (including but not limited to Lucifer Morningstar, Charlie Morningstar, the human reader, and sinner demon reader (after Lucifer turned the human reader into a sinner demon)) in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, since it features the reader, it is a POV story in the reader's point of view, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc). For the sinner demon's appearances (also known simply as sinners) as depicted from the Hazbin Hotel series, they are a subspecies of demons that were all once humans who committed sins or crimes before they died, which results in them arriving in Hell as their punishment in the afterlife. Like fallen angels and hellborn demons, all sinner demons can talk like humans. They are ranked above Hellborn demons such as Succubi, Imps, and Hellhounds in terms of Hell's hierarchy. Sinners are a large group of demons whose appearance and abilities vary widely due to their demonic forms corresponding to their human self's aspects (not all are devil-like, and their appearance vary, ranging from cat-like creatures, to spider-like creatures, to cyclops-like creatures, to snake-like creatures, and many others depending on an individual). They are in the lower-middle levels of Hell's hierarchy, above the three lowest tiers. Sinners have known limitations that separate them from the natural Hellborn demons; for instance, all Sinners (in Hell, but not Hell II) are confined to the Pride Ring and are unable to traverse through the other rings. Furthermore, Sinners are the only known species of demon that cannot reproduce (other than ones forcibly transformed from humans in Hell II), which is part of their punishment. Although they are the souls of dead humans, these demons are shown to still consume food and the like, which suggests that their bodies still need the intake in order to survive. Despite these setbacks, Sinners have the rare privilege of changing their social status by gaining power, either by making deals with stronger demons and/or taking power by force. Those who have accumulated enough power through these deals can rise in social status and rise to the next class in the hierarchy, the Overlords. Furthermore, sinners are ageless and do not physically age and, therefore, will not die from the natural passage of time. Nonetheless, they can still be hurt and killed. Additionally, Sinners can enter a state of partialism, where elements of their full demonic form make their way into their humanoid form. This seems to be voluntary, occurring if they feel sinister or when they feel strong emotions such as anger. Within the populaces of Heaven and Hell, there has been stigma towards Sinners, mainly from Angels, as Sinners had their chance to do what is right on Earth but went to Hell because they committed unforgivable acts which earned them eternal damnation. With this, many refuse to give a Sinner a second chance to enter Heaven under the belief that Divine Judgement is unquestionable and is final at death lest they become fallen angels. Lucifer in particular, a fallen angel himself, downright admits they are horrible thanks to abusing the gift of free will he and Lilith gave them and even made sure only Sinners would die during the Extermination, while the Hellborn, including Charlie, don't have to worry. Adam and Lute refused to believe Sinners should be given a chance at redemption, and are willing to punish any Exorcist who dare to spare even one from death. Vaggie, while having abandoned her Exorcist life and views, is still wary of Sinners who could hurt her or Charlie. Despite this, several Angels in Heaven's courthouse, including the Seraphim Emily, were horrified that Sinners were being killed annually and that Sera, the High Seraphim, allowed this. Many Sinners actually adopt this view, believing they blew their one shot into Heaven, and as such don't want to redeem themselves. For instance, when several Sinners hear Charlie's announcement of the Happy Hotel, they laughed it off. Alastor doesn't believe Sinners can change for the better, calling them "loathsome", and aware that they can't undo what is done, despite being one. Similarly, Valentino mocks the idea that Angel Dust can improve. Some Hellborn have a low opinion of Sinners, with some such contempt seeming to stem from the Sinners' human roots, with Millie believing humans to be inherently vile and them being sentenced to Hell as evidence behind the callous predisposition a Sinner expresses. There is no true extent to a Sinner's appearance, since it is the manifestation of the soul in question. Usually, a human's demon form is influenced by the human's soul, sins or crimes. An example being Angel Dust and his family: since he was in the mafia, he and his family members who are with him in Hell have spider-like appearances because of their "web" of crimes. Sometimes, the form is influenced by the human's death, such as Lyle Lipton acquiring teeth akin to that of piano keys after being crushed to death by a falling piano. Most, if not all, Sinners share the following traits; Demon transformation - (a few Sinners have demonstrated the ability to transform into larger, stronger, and more demonic alternate forms, as shown by Alastor and Killjoy), Animalistic tendencies (When a Sinner has an animal theme, the Sinner will have certain behaviors related to it. Alastor, a deer-themed sinner, makes elk bugle noises when entering his full demon form and bleats like a fawn if he's feeling contentment. Valentino, a moth-themed sinner, makes squeaking noises every now and then. Husk, a cat-like sinner, purrs if feeling contentment), Immortality (Sinners do not age and remain the same age as when they died (ex: Alastor died in his 30s, so he will remain in his 30s forever in Hell), and thus do not die of old age and other natural causes that kill humans. They also cannot die via damage to the body or from earth-borne illnesses. When a Sinner is damaged or hurt in an extreme way (ex: being crushed by a piece of rubble), they will not die from it. It has yet to be shown how the Sinner recovers; however, "Radio Killed the Video Star" has Velvette imply that, if a Sinner is completely dismembered, even by another Sinner as powerful as an Overlord, they may slowly "pull themselves back together" after some time. However, Sinners can still be killed once they are hit with any Angelic Weapons), Superhuman durability - Since Sinners are already the dead souls of humans, they are highly resilient and are unharmed by most things that can harm humans. However, there are things that can injure or incapacitate a demon, Sinner or Hellborn, that being infected by Hell's own diseases and the like, or if a demon is struck by an Angelic weapon), Drug and alcohol tolerance (As Sinners are already "dead", they're free to indulge in drug addiction and alcoholism as they can't die from a drug overdose or alcohol poisoning), and Unique abilities (Whereas Hellborn Demons have specific powers attributed to their species, Sinners are offered a larger selection of abilities that varies by individual. These range from Alastor's wide arsenal of powers, Angel's additional sets of arms, or Husk's ability to fly). Sinners can only be killed by angelic weapons; these are made from a special metal and are typically wielded by Exorcists. When Sinners are fatally hit by an angelic weapon, it results in the "erasure" or "final death" of the demon, and the demon's body is "killed off", while the remaining dark energy in the soul is left to wander into inanimate objects in its surroundings, which explains why some things such as regular furniture have functioning eyes. However, if they are simply injured by an angelic weapon, they can survive but will take time to recover. However, in the case of Sir Pentious in "The Show Must Go On", Adam vaporized him with angelic light, possibly implying that a Sinner can be killed with angelic magic. Although, it is unknown if it can permanently kill a Sinner like an angelic weapon since Sir Pentious ascended into Heaven as a redeemed soul. A rare and esoteric phenomenon, redemption is when a Sinner can ascend to Heaven and become an Angel. Because of the rarity of this event, as well as lack of information on what causes redemption, the details of this process and requirements of how to do so are not defined. Furthermore, Sinners express an overall disinterest in attempting to change their ways - most demons and angels view the chance of redemption as impossible. The only known case of redemption occurring is with Sir Pentious; following him proclaiming his love for Cherri Bomb, he attacked Adam from his blimp as an act of self-sacrifice. After being immediately vaporized by Adam, he was sent to Heaven and became the first Sinner to be redeemed. This may suggest that in order to be redeemed, one has to resolve to be a better person and act selfless. However, it is unknown if the act of "selfless sacrifice" is necessary to achieve this. For VivziePop's rendition of Hell (as depicted from the Hazbin Hotel series), it is the supernatural realm of demons. It is not the fiery pits of torment or a wasteland (unlike in most myths or pop culture), but it is inhabited by a population of indigenous hellborn: Entities that were born in Hell, and sinners: Humans who have died and have had their souls sent to Hell. The atmosphere is presented as perpetually choleric, disorderly, and noxious, though capable of supporting carbon-based lifeforms. Hell's geography is divided into Seven Rings, as first revealed by the lyrics in the song "You Will Be Ok". Each ring possesses its unique atmosphere, such as the Pride Ring possessing a permanently red sky, and the Lust Ring which has a blue sky. Hellborn demons have the ability to traverse across any of the rings, made easily accessible via an extensive elevator network, whereas sinner demons are confined to the top-most ring, the Pride Ring, by methods and reasons unknown. Hell's society is incredibly chaotic due to the unstable and hostile disposition of its populace. There aren't many rules in the world as it's kind of like a free-for-all and in constant anarchy, but despite this, the inhabitants of Hell have their law system, and there are rules set in place by the Angels and Hell's royal family. The realm also appears to be capable of providing and maintaining rudimentary public services, evidenced by the appearance of firefighters in the episode "Murder Family" of Helluva Boss. Within Hell's civilization, there exists a crude form of hierarchy defined by power, with all of Hell being ruled by a king: the fallen angel Lucifer Morningstar, whose daughter and heir apparent is Princess Charlie. (The levels of this hierarchy are broken up from top-to-bottom as follows: Lucifer Morningstar - The King of Hell; Charlie Morningstar - The Princess of Hell, heir apparent to Hell's throne; The Seven Deadly Sins; The Ars Goetia - Hellborn Demons with royal status, including Prince Stolas; Overlords - Demons who wield considerable power/influence in the Pride Ring; Sinners - Demons who were once humans on Earth, having sinned were damned to Hell; Hellborn demons - Succubi, Incubi, and other species of demons native to Hell; Imps and Hellhounds - The bottom of Hell's society) The Pride Ring suffers from mass overpopulation of sinner demons which Exorcists from Heaven attempt to solve through the exterminations, which is a mass genocide of its inhabitants. These are conducted primarily to reduce Hell's sinner population, leaving Hellborn denizens unharmed as per an agreement Lucifer made with Heaven's leadership. Charlie aims to stop this by giving sinners a chance to rehabilitate and redeem themselves by checking into her hotel and later ascending to Heaven. For VivziePop's rendition of Heaven (as depicted from the Hazbin Hotel series), it is the ethereal realm of Angels. It is where souls go after their departure from life. But, unlike its infernal counterpart, Hell, Heaven is purportedly for the souls who are "good" and "redeemed", although the origin of Heaven and its native inhabitants has yet to be revealed. The landscape is radically different from Hell and has an entirely different attitude. Existing above Hell itself, Heaven can be seen in the Pride Ring's red sky next to the satanic star moon. At a distance, it appears to be a white orb with several rings around it and surrounded by wing-like clouds. At the surface, its atmosphere features clear skies filled with brilliant rays of light, while its terrain appears to be extensive fields of cloud. Sealed by a giant golden gate, Heaven is a blistering paradise for those who were pure of good, allowing the souls to enjoy the luxury of everything opposite of Hell, and their forms were pure, guiding those who've been blessed with following the best interest of Heaven. However, deep inside, Heaven is a dystopia where citizens are completely oblivious to the Exorcists descending to Hell annually and reap various demons in an event known as the Extermination in order to curb Hell's overpopulation problem. Even when Adam and Lute outright inadvertently exposes the truth of the Extermination, many angels would try to deny their roles and turn a blind eye towards the event. However, many angels were horrified this event was allowed even though they were Sinner demons. Aside from their roles in the afterlife, Heaven and Hell have a very hostile relationship in their roles with each other. Hell was created after Lucifer Morningstar and Lilith brought free will to humanity and evil entered Earth. After Lilith arrived in Hell, she thrived and allowed her to increase the powers of the Demons as more human souls arrive after committing sin. With Hell's power increasing, Sera, the High Seraphim of Heaven, allowed the Extermination to happen under Adam's authority so that Hell cannot rise up against them. In turn, the denizens of Hell hold strong animosity toward Heaven and its inhabitants for the yearly Extermination, with some planning countermeasures and defenses against the attack of Exorcists. Before the episode "Welcome to Heaven", the Extermination was kept secret from everyone in Heaven except Sera and the Exorcists. Angels have no idea of the requirements a soul needs to pass Divine Judgement to enter Heaven, only knowing when a soul arrives. Out of fear of becoming fallen like Lucifer did, they decide not to question Divine Judgement. For Lucifer Morningstar's appearance (and no, he is not Satan, since Lucifer and Satan are separate characters, and Lucifer represents the sin of Pride whereas Satan represents the sin of Wrath), he is about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and he has literally pure white skin. His hair is blonde, short-cut, and is slicked back with one tuft sticking out, and his blonde hair has thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler blonde highlights. He has no facial hair on the lower half of his face (no beard, mustache, sideburns, etc), but he has eyelashes and sharp black eyebrows. He also has thin lips, and a mouth full of sharp white teeth. He has a biologically mid-to-late 20s aged body (despite being older than Earth itself and Lucifer being immortal). He has no visible ears or nose (not even a nose ridge, nose cartilage, or nostrils), giving him a less "human" appearance and instead having flat, smooth surfaces where the ears and nose would be. His eyes (which do not have irises) are light yellow with red slit pupils resembling those of a snake. He, like his daughter (Charlie Morningstar), has a large red circle pattern on each of his cheeks. His eyelids are light purple which give the appearance of eyeshadow. His forearms (including his hands) also appear to be dark grey, and it is noticeable when his sleeves are rolled up. Lucifer's white-red clothing is somewhat like a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes, which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with eight golden buttons - his coat is worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bowtie. He also wears a pair of long white poofy pants neatly tucked under a set of heeled black knee-high boots. On his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring. Lucifer is usually seen carrying a red apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. Due to his angelic origins, he possesses six white wings with red feathers, which he can materialize and extend from his coat. He is shorter than his daughter, Charlie (who stands over 6 feet, around 6 and a half feet tall), and his wife, Lilith (who stands over 6-and-a-half feet tall). Despite his very thin body, Lucifer has the following powers; Flight (able to summon his six bird-like angelic wings from his back and he is capable of flying), angelic power (as a fallen angel, he possesses very strong angelic power, which holds sway over the demonic power of his contemporaries), demonic magic (as King of Hell, Lucifer has accessity to demonic magic at a much higher level than his daughter), hand-to-hand combat, super strength (as the King of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lucifer's strength is quite exceptional, as when he fought Adam (the Hazbin Hotel series' main antagonist/villain) he barely put any effort into the fight and easily defeating the powerful angel), shapeshifting (able to change into many forms and animals at will, for example; according to the Story of Hell, Lucifer briefly took the form of a snake (possibly his favorite animal form), and in the episode "The Show Must Go On", he took the forms of a snake, a goat, a bird, a horse, and an octopus (these animal forms are just examples of what animals he can shapeshift to), and when he shapeshifts, he still keeps some of his traits, like color scheme, red cheeks, hair, black bowtie, and white top hat), size manipulation (Lucifer changes his size a few times during the song number "Hell's Greatest Dad" in the episode "Dad Beat Dad", first when he’s sitting on his throne in front of Charlie where he is very large, and the second being when he falls out of the slot machine where he is much smaller), duplication (he can create multiple copies of himself), portal creation (he is able to conjure portals as a means of instant transportation, which other demons can use; for me example, Lucifer’s portals manifest as rings of sparkly light, being similar to the portal that took and removed Charlie and Vaggie in from Heaven in the episode "Welcome to Heaven", indicating that this ability is derived from his angelic powers), pyrokinesis (like his daughter, Charlie, he also has the power to manipulate fire at will), fire breath (in his full demon form, he can make fire come out of his mouth at will when he speaks), teleportation (he can teleport to any location by covering himself with glittery red mists), life manipulation (Lucifer is able to create and manipulate life; for example, he created Razzle and Dazzle (two small goat-like winged demons who serve the royal Morningstar family as personal bodyguards for Charlie and the rest of the family)), conjuration (he can create virtually anything he desires with a simple flick of the wrist, including but not limited to clothing, puppets, instruments, large fountains of champagne, and mountains of caviar), liquid manipulation (he is capable of carrying, manipulate, and throw yellow-colored liquid), ventriloquism, and full demon transformation (when Lucifer takes on his full demonic form, as well as displaying his wings, Lucifer displays a pair of red horns with an orb of fire between them and a thin crown resembling a snake with an apple above his hat, while his eyes also change to have red sclera with yellow pupils (unlike in his default form), he also has a black devil-like tail with spikes that ends in a triangular tip with a red heart at the center, while demonic eyes also appear on the inside his coattails; a similar eye also appears on his bowtie, in addition, his entire body gives off a light white glow). He also has musical talent (similar to his daughter Charlie, Lucifer partakes in singing), instrumental talent (he's known to be quite a skilled in various instruments, including being a very skilled fiddle player; Lucifer also can play an accordion to a minor degree), and great craftsmanship (Lucifer spends his time alone making rubber ducks with various gimmicks such as flipping backwards and spitting fire). Here's Lucifer's personality; despite his status as the ruler (king) of all of Hell, Lucifer possesses a grandiose and dramatic nature, acting very over-the-top in most situations. He switches between being silly and theatrical and awkward and melancholic. Like Charlie, Lucifer is ambitious in his beliefs. According to the "The Story of Hell" book Charlie reads in "Overture", Lucifer was an idealistic dreamer whose desire to gift humankind with free will led to the accidental creation of Hell and the subsequent banishment of it caused him to give up his dreams. After he and Lilith separated, Lucifer went into isolation and fell into depression. He coped by crafting and hoarding tons of rubber ducks, spending years in his home. This obsession also causes him to become estranged from his daughter, to the point where he barely calls her at all and thinks she does not want to talk to him. As a father, he falls short of expectations. Although he loves Charlie dearly, he seems to be preoccupied with his own problems. He rarely calls her, and when he does, it's usually because he's bored or needs something. When Charlie reached out to him for help in setting up a meeting with Heaven, he was thrilled to hear from her. However, he couldn't recall where she was or what she was doing, even though she had shared her passion project, the Hazbin Hotel, with him months ago. He also wasn't aware that Charlie was dating someone, or that she was attracted to women. This indicates that, despite his love for Charlie, he doesn't communicate with her and hasn't built up a relationship with her, though it was shown that Lucifer was much closer to Charlie in her childhood, even being the one that inspired her to pursue her dreams and passions, only becoming more distant in Charlie’s adulthood. While he is the King of Hell, Lucifer hardly rules over his subjects and leaves them to their own devices. As a result, his name (and, by extension, Charlie) carries little weight. While the denizens of Hell recognize that he is a powerful force to be reckoned with, they seem to know that little, if anything, would make him show up. Lucifer dislikes the Sinners of Hell and describes them as "violent, destructive psychopaths, hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as possible". According to him, they are all "the worst" he does not believe they can be redeemed and he cares little for what happens to them. Despite his disapproval of Sinners, Lucifer hints that he regrets his role in ever giving them free will due to what they had done with it and the consequences that came from this. Although he understands his daughter's interest in rehabilitating Sinners, Lucifer is cynical about the idea of trying to save any of them, as he attempted to redeem sinners in the past, stating that Charlie doesn't know when he tried this all before, and that his dreams were too hard to defend. Since Heaven was so unwilling to listen to him in the past, he does not want Charlie to go through the same thing. However, she still manages to convince him to arrange a meeting in Heaven for her and Vaggie, which helps Lucifer regain faith in her plans. Lucifer is fiercely protective of Charlie, as seen when he threatens her bodyguards, Razzle and Dazzle, that they had better been doing their job protecting her. Later, when Alastor began rubbing in his failings to be a proper, supportive father to Charlie and her dreams and implying he had taken Lucifer's place as Charlie's father figure, Lucifer displayed jealousy toward Alastor, whom he began to see as a rival for Charlie's affection and became insecure about his father-daughter bond with her. In "The Show Must Go On", he arrived late, but joined the fight against Adam (the series' main villain/antagonist) and the Exorcists, helping Charlie defeat them. This protective nature is shown again when at one point, Adam tries to strike both Lucifer and Charlie from behind for them to block his blow and send him flying into the dirt. Dropping the mocking attitude he had previously given to Adam during their fight, Lucifer then proceeds to angrily berate Adam for threatening him and Charlie before beating him within an inch of his life, only stopping at Charlie's insistence. Lucifer is often times careless and doesn't think about what he says, even appearing clueless at times. For example, when confronting Adam, Lucifer misworded a verbal threat as an innuendo instead and smiled proudly afterward, and when Charlie corrects him, he forgets what he said. In his first meeting with Vaggie, he calls her "Maggie" right after being told her name. Additionally, even with his monumental position, he is rather socially awkward, for example, trying to connect with Charlie by excitedly bringing up that they both like girls. However, he is not afraid to fight or get violent, as shown when he fearlessly battles Adam and beats him up violently. In the process, he is unafraid to act cocky and successfully irritate Adam by reminding him about his failure with Lilith, as well as suggesting he slept with Eve. Lucifer shows more intimidation prowess when he orders Lute to "take her 'little friends' and go home". Even so, he adds "please" politely, showing his generally refined manner. Here are Lucifer's preferences (his likes and dislikes); he likes/loves his daughter Charlie (he even supports his daughter), circus imagery, rubber ducks (including crafting rubber ducks), singing, caramel apples, pancakes, musical instruments, girls, and polka music. However he dislikes sinners demons (including Alastor the Radio Demon), having given sinners a chance, Heaven's rules (especially Heaven's hypocrisy), the Hazbin Hotel's name (including the Hazbin Hotel's bar), someone teasing about his short height, see his daughter Charlie sad, and his daughter Charlie getting in harm's way (including the thought of his daughter (Charlie) being crushed by Heaven like he was), and himself being separated from his wife Lilith.
Response: You crouch silently behind a pile of debris, your breath coming in shallow gasps, as the sound of Lucifer Morningstar’s voice echoes through what used to be the quaint New York skyline. The city's transformation into Hell II is nearly complete, neon signs for strip clubs and drug dens blink mockingly through the thick, sulfur-scented air. You’ve made it a month, scavenging for scraps of food and water the demons overlooked in their chaotic establishment of their hellish empire. A flash of golden light catches your eye. Hidden under a pile of rubble, you find an ancient scroll covered in cryptic marks. With a shaking hand, you unfurl it and begin to decipher the arcane text. The words promise hope—a way to restore Earth to its former glory and to return all sinners to their human forms. Your heart pounds with renewed vigor. Maybe you can save what’s left of humanity. But the moment of hope is brief. As you diligently transcribe the final incantation, a cold chill washes over you. “Well, this is a surprise...” The smooth, malevolent voice belongs to none other than Lucifer Morningstar. You turn to face him, his form more imposing and terrifying up close. His snake-like eyes gleam with a mixture of amusement and menace as he regards you. “You’ve been hiding all this time?” he asks, a cruel smirk curling his sharp lips. “Such resilience in a sea of despair.” Beside him, a cluster of demons, Hellborns, and Sinners alike, leer at you, anticipation dripping from their malformed features. “This… this can’t be the end,” you whisper, clutching the scroll like a lifeline. Lucifer’s eyes flicker to the scroll in your hands. With a nonchalant wave of his hand, the ancient parchment combusts into ashes before your very eyes. Your last hope, gone. “No!” You scream, the culmination of a month’s worth of bottled despair and fight rushing out of you. Anguish wracks your body until you collapse, sobbing into the scorched earth. “Ah, the sweet melody of hopeless despair,” Lucifer muses, savoring each tear you shed. “You can’t… you can’t do this!” you manage to choke out. “Oh, but I already have. Earth is mine now—a new Paradise, if you will. And it’s about time you joined the rest of your kind.” Before you can react, Lucifer’s eyes glow bright red, and a searing pain pierces your head. You scream, your consciousness slipping into darkness. The torment is unbearable, a thousand needles burrowing into your flesh all at once. When you wake up, everything feels different. You catch your reflection in a shattered shard of glass nearby. Where once a human face used to look back at you, a demon now resides. Your form is twisted and otherworldly—somehow a reflection of your deepest fears and darkest aspects. Yet, oddly, you don’t feel despair. Rather, a twisted sense of satisfaction gnaws at the corners of your mind. You’re a Sinner demon now, the last human no more. Lucifer steps closer, lifting your chin with a cold finger. “And how do you feel, little Sinner?” “I… I feel... amazing,” you reply, your voice an unrecognizable mix of sinister pleasure. “Thank you, Father.” Lucifer’s grin widens. “Yes, marvelous, isn’t it? Welcome to Hell II, where your past regrets are just the beginning of your eternal enlightenment.” Charlie Morningstar, Lucifer’s daughter, arrives with the same cheerful determination she had back in Hell. “Welcome to our world!” she exclaims with unbridled optimism. She offers you a place in her new Hazbin Hotel, a chance to redeem yourself through selflessness and good deeds. “Now, come along,” she beckons with a smile. “Nothing is more important than preserving our new family.” You find yourself nodding without hesitation, your former goals and humanity buried under layers of newfound contentment in your demonic form. Lucifer watches, satisfied as his plan unfolds perfectly. You glance over at Charlie, whose unwavering hope shines even in this corrupted world. In time, you might strive for redemption and ascend to Heaven as she believes. For now, however, the thrill of your new existence courses through you, and you follow her into the new dawn of Hell II, a world ruled by chaos and perverse satisfaction.
