Lore VII - The Rise Of Rebellion

Lore VII - The Rise of Rebellion

<-------(Lore VI)-------«

With the Celestial Realm and the Devildom destroyed and the Human World on its way, it wasn’t long before voices began to cry out, “enough is enough.”

Even the most loyal of the angels began to doubt Father as they watched everything they stood for collapse around them, and the demons began to realize that their own king was a bigger threat than the Celestial Realm ever was. The war had become nothing more than an ego-brawl between Father and the Demon King; they didn’t care about their subjects anymore.

As more and more people realized this, rebel groups began to form in opposition to the war. Two of the most prominent were the Celestial Resistance and the Royal Alliance of Diavolo.

The Celestial Resistance, led by Simeon, was a rebel group made up primarily of angels who had defected from the Celestial Legions, though they would later gain the support of the seven brothers and others. The Celestial Resistance mostly focused on the best interests of angels, and as such the overthrow of Father was their main priority. All else, including dealing with the Demon King, came second. Many within the group believed that the fight against Father was the battle of angels and former-angels alone, being opposed to the involvement of humans and natural-born demons. Compared to the Royal Alliance of Diavolo, the Celestial Resistance had much greater fighting prowess, as most members had been archangels and seraphim. However, the group had weakness in their lack of diversity- due to the vast majority being angels, the Celestial Resistance could often come across as narrow-minded. This issue would only grow worse as the more conservative angels joined the rebellion- eventually, the Celestial Legions would entirely disband due to Michael and Raphael’s defection, giving the remaining members- most of which were still very conservative- little choice but to follow their former leaders into the rebellion. There was also infighting- Lucifer and his brothers made things complicated, plus the angels were unsure how to get along even with each other without Father unifying them. Their leader, Simeon, was very aware of these issues and tried his best to rectify them. The addition of Lucifer and his brothers to the team also helped sway the Celestial Resistance in a more inclusive direction that would eventually allow them to ally with other rebellion groups.

The Royal Alliance of Diavolo, or RAD, was a much more diverse group, with a more unanimously open-minded approach to the war. This group was made up of humans, demons, and angels alike who sought refuge in the sanctuary Lord Diavolo created in the human world. The group was primarily made up of lower-ranking angels and demons as well as humans- less powerful beings who had needed Diavolo’s aid to escape their situations. Most were refugees rather than trained fighters. However, what they lacked in strength, they made up for in passion and cohesiveness. Royal Alliance members are far more used to working together across species boundaries than the Celestial Resistance, and did so well. Despite the vast range of backgrounds, all Alliance members had a strong loyalty to each other. They built up a strong sense of brotherhood and comradery through their shared efforts to survive the war, and almost any member would lay down their life for another without hesitation. All of them are highly loyal to Diavolo, as many owe him their life. The Royal Alliance of Diavolo would later become a blueprint for society post-Armageddon, as it was the first real example of humans, demons, and angels living together harmoniously and successfully.

For a long while, these two rebel groups functioned without knowing of the other’s existence. However, when their existence came to light, the two were quick to reach out to one another and work together to determine a course of action. Eventually, the two groups merge to form the Equinox Coalition.

The Equinox Coalition, co-led by Simeon and Diavolo, was the ultimate band of humans, demons, angels and even reapers opposed to the war. Their namesake comes from their core philosophy: There must be balance between the darkness and the light.

The Equinox Coalition would later be joined by the United Forces of Humanity, a collection of the human world’s military forces that had originally formed to resist the invasion of the Human World.

The Equinox Coalition expands its goals far beyond the fight against Father, also seeking to take down the Demon King and explore all possible avenues for a more balanced future. By the end of the Armageddon, all major Obey Me characters will have joined the Equinox Coalition.

Character File: Mephistopheles

Mephistopheles, as a demon noble with a strong hatred for angels, was very pro-war leading up to the Armageddon. Though RAD does not exist in this timeline, Mephistopheles is in charge of a professional newspaper, which he uses to publish dozens of propaganda pieces encouraging the war effort, ranging from incendiary papers about the angels to blatant calls for war.

However, eventually the Armageddon hit too close to home. As the war broke out, Mephistopheles lost his brother to the freezing cold. The death of his brother sent him spiraling, and now he’s wondering what to believe. He’s gone on a search for Diavolo, wanting to mend their relationship for comfort and closure.

Character File: Satan

Along with his brothers, Satan was drafted into the war long before it ever moved to the Human World. The seven became more close-knit than ever during that time, growing extremely protective of one another. In particular, they grew incredibly protective of Satan. This was Satan’s first time ever fighting in a war, after all. His brothers were all seasoned warriors from the Great Celestial War and the previous war between the Celestial Realm and the Devildom, while Satan was completely inexperienced. During this period, Satan was treated as the youngest in all but title.

Satan was beyond frustrated at what he perceived as being babied, leading him to be one of the most aggressive soldiers in battle in attempt to prove to his brothers that he was not to be underestimated. His vicious wrath, sly cunning and undying motivation to prove himself quickly made him notorious among demons and angels alike from very early on in the war. What made him all the more dangerous was his weapon- he wields the Hellfire Blade, a sickle-shaped sword that catches fire with green flames whenever its wielder is filled with adrenaline.

As this flaming weapon provided heat and light in a place that was growing colder and darker by the day, it was heavily sought after. However, because it could only catch ablaze during its wielder’s adrenaline rush, this meant it was only useful when Satan was angered. This led to Satan’s brothers repeatedly provoking him, further straining his relationship with them.

Like his brothers, Satan spends most of his time in demon form. He needs to be ready to use his full power at all times, after all. However, his demon form has been altered slightly. His anatomical features such as his horns and tail have remained the same, but his clothing has changed. He’s scrapped the boa- too easy to get caught on something in battle. He also scrapped the belt for similar reasons, and now wears a tight black trenchcoat to protect him from the blistering cold of the Devildom. He also wears armor, the most notable being black pauldrons covered in sharp spikes.

Though initially zealous about the war effort, Satan has grown to doubt the war more and more as he has witnessed more of its effects. The first time he truly felt that something wasn’t right was during a battle in the Celestial Realm, where he saw how worn and weary the angels were when he and his brothers had just gotten there. The scene of burnt, blinded angels with scorched, tattered wings stuck in his head, and from time to time resurfaces and makes him think. Another defining experience for him happened after he returned to the Devildom, where conditions got so bad a demon used Satan to commit assisted suicide. A demon endlessly provoked Satan until he lost control and flew into a rage, swiftly killing the demon, and when Satan calmed down and went to loot the corpse (hey, resources were scarce) he found a suicide note in the demon’s pocket. Though Satan has killed many people in his time, the fact that this demon actually wanted to die and used him to achieve that stuck with him.

By the time the war moved to the Human World, Satan’s focus had become less and less on winning the war and more on trying to simply survive and protect his brothers. They were all in poor shape and simply trying to keep themselves and each other alive. Even so, Satan’s fighter tendencies still rear their heads when an opposing force attacks the brothers first; he’s an absolutely ruthless defender who will make sure anyone who dared attack him or his brothers paid with their life.

Due to the absence of the exchange program or any real communication at all between the realms, the angels didn’t know Satan existed until his appearance in battle. They still have no idea he’s Lucifer’s brother/son, and I imagine it will be quite the bombshell when they find out.
