Bio/Personality:
Margie’s full name as the sole evidence, it isn’t difficult to guess at her family background. Margie’s parents are a prime example of country-fried Trailer Trash. With Redneck roots, Margie has struggled her way up the ladder of popularity. Ever since she moved from Kentucky in the first grade, she has clung to the pretty girls. Girls with shoes, and make-up, and tabloid gossip.

Part-way through 7th grade, her family switched trailer parks, from Santa Monica to Beverly Glen. Upon arriving at Arnaz Middle School, Margie immediately latched onto the most popular girl she could find, Alexia Woods. Alexia didn't seem to mind Margie's lack of poise. In fact, she took the twiggy girl under her wing, and they have been best friends ever since.

With Alexia at her side, Margie has made it into the inner circle. Still, she’s a ditz and naturally unsophisticated; so even amongst friends she’s seen as a wannabe.

Powers: N/A

Eye Color: Ice Blue
Hair Color: Beach Blonde
Skin Color: Bronze
Height: 6'
Distinguishing Features: Perpetual Arrogant Smirk

Bio/Personality:
You’ve seen him in every teenage drama – the jock, the bully, the arrogant prick who happens to be God’s gift to all women. Brad Baxter is the son of a police officer and a dentist. They raised him as a good Christian boy, and every good Christian knows that demons are evil and deserve to be vanquished. So, it’s no wonder Brad is so outwardly prejudice against hell-spawn.

Usual Brad activities include, surfing, football, track, and –last but not least – basketball. He’s the newly appointed co-captain for the varsity B-Ball team at Brad Pitt High. BPH is lucky to have him on the team, considering he should be attending Penn High in Santa Monica. The BPH athletics program´s outstanding reputation led Brad´s parents to enroll him despite the 30 minute commute every morning. It didn´t hurt that Brad´s best bud, Cooper Argento, was also attending. The two have been inseparable since they met during a summer sports camp when they were 10.

Powers: Seduction, Technopathy

Eye Color: Amber
Hair Color: Black
Skin Color: Tan
Height: 5’9”
Distinguishing Features: Pierced Ears

Bio/Personality:
Ly possesses a child like optimism and demeanor. He’s friendly, fun-loving, and outgoing. These traits allowed him to gather a diverse group of friends as a child. Unfortunately, puberty hit and his Incubus instincts kicked in, causing him to alienate every friend he had. He’s broken hearts and caused scandals so large that his Mother has been forced (on numerous occasions) to relocate.
He’s lived all across Vietnam; parts of Thailand, China, and Japan; and now he’s transferred to Los Angeles with hopes that he can make new American friendships that will actually last.
And it isn’t only his feral nature that bars him from lasting friendships. His mother controls his every life choice under threat of using her nightmarish powers on him or any “friend” she doesn’t deem worthy of her son.

Bio/Personality: Charismatic and confident, Travis is a demon who has somehow managed to be accepted by the human student population.

Frequently, he can be found playing guitar in the choir room with his close friends: Joey, Kurt, and Nathan.

Travis' obvious social graces cause people to wonder how he could be related to a loser like Tyler Son. Yet, Travis has lived with the Son family since the age of twelve. When seen together, the two cousins interact more like brothers. Travis tries desperately to help Tyler with his social setbacks. But, too often, he finds that his cousin is a particularly difficult demon to assist.

Laurence

Species: Angel (Fallen)
Race: Power
Powers: Healing, Astral Projection

Eye Color: Lavender
Hair Color: Blonde
Skin Color: Alabaster
Height: 5’9”
Distinguishing Features: Fantastically Androgynous, Small Horns

Bio/Personality: Before the uprising against God, Laurence faithfully guarded the Gates of Heaven. Should a stray comet meander towards Heaven, he was there to request it kindly turn around and head the other way. It wasn’t the most glamorous of jobs, but he was completely content. That is, until Lucifer turned his home into a battlefield.

Laurence never once considered joining with the mutineers; he fought for his lord with all of his might, and when it was all over, he was the one to open the gates so God may expel Lucifer’s ranks. Unfortunately, a particularly vengeful angel grabbed hold of Laurence and dragged him to Hell. Laurence pled for God to bring him back, be He said it could not be done. However, Laurence was given the task of watching over the legions of Hell to ensure they wouldn’t escape Hell and storm Heaven.

Ever since, Laurence has been the Gatekeeper of Hell. He passes judgment on all who enter, deciding which circle they’re fated to. Conversely, he keeps the records of the damned. Additionally, he trains every new Ruler of Hell to ensure the balance of Good and Evil is kept in the world.

Shut up, I'm Tanning

Alexia Antoinette Woods

Date of Birth: September 21st, 2036
Species: Human
Race: French Creole, Scottish
Powers: N/A

Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Chestnut with Gold Highlights
Skin Color: Nude Beige
Height: 5’8”
Distinguishing Features: Freckles, Well-Toned, Busty

Bio/Personality:
Alexia Woods is the kind of girl every guy wants and every girl wants to be. She lives a seemingly perfect life, in her impossibly large home, wearing a wadrobe suited for the hottest celebrity. It's no wonder at least a third of the student body grovels at her feet. Alexia would never let a thing like divorced parents get in her way or slow her down. She's become the poster child for the strong, independent teen. Though, independence doesn't bar her from having a man or two hanging around. With a mother living half-way across the world and a CEO father who is frequently absent, a girl needs some company after all.
Alexia's best friend Margie can only hope the magnetism rubs off. Together, the two run the gossip mill at school, spinning and dispensing rumors at their leisure through a streamlined texting network. When they aren't obsessing over everyone else's lives, they're making themselves beautiful. Shopping with their mall slave, Tyler Son, is another common occurrence; as is tanning, mani-pedi appointments, and the occasional spa day.

...And She is Very Nice

Becky Ann Brooks

Date of Birth: March 16th, 2037
Species: Demon
Race: German, Dutch, English
Powers: Electrokineisis, Biological Manipulation, Force Field Generation

Eye Color: Teal
Hair Color: Dirty Blonde
Skin Color: Ivory
Height: 5’3”
Distinguishing Features: Short, Loose fitting clothing, Pigtails, Pink Heart earrings

Bio/Personality:
Born to demonic parents who fully embrace living sinfully, Becky is a modest person whose demeanor seems unsuited to her heritage. She spends her time outdoors, usually with a book in hand, and avoids going home after school due to her overbearing mother and father who constantly struggle to make her more like other demonic girls. Becky would rather read a Jane Austen novel than worry about what outfit she's wearing or how she looks. Her less than glittering appearance and juvenile hairstyle has earned her the nickname "Pigtails" with the popular girls at school, and to most other students she is forgettable at best. Fortunately, she has the companionship of Tyler Son. After being introduced by his cousin, Travis, sophomore year, Becky finds her time with Tyler to be a comforting change of pace from her usual solitude. Perhaps with a good friend beside her, Becky's junior year of high school will be her most exciting year yet.

Say Chicka Wha?

Welcome, curious minds!  Alright, so the plan here is that Rachel and Myself will used this webspace to chronicle the development of Holy Hell! into some tangible form.  We'll post character bios, sketches, tidbits of miscellaneous info, and even written character studies.  Probably memes too... because who doesn't love a good meme?

Hopefully, if all goes to plan, this blog will keep us focused and we'll have something to show for it in the not-so-horribly-far future.  We hope you'll visit, comment, share with your friends... any sort of encouragement you can offer. So... enjoy, ja?

We'll get the ball rolling with a little about Tyler...

Tyler Jerome Son

Date of Birth: December 5th, 2036

Species: Demon

Race: Infernal/Lilitu/Kodama – Arabic/Persian/Japanese; Chinese

Powers: Pyrokinesis, Voice Mimicry, Damnation

Eye Color: Red

Hair Color: Black
Skin Color: Tan
Height: 5’5”

Distinguishing Features: Short, Pierced Left Ear

Bio/Personality:

Eldest child of an overly affectionate (and somewhat insane) mother and a well-meaning but emotionally unavailable father, Tyler has always been a bit reserved – with few friends. However, as long as he can remember he’s been companions with the girl across the street, Alexia Woods. Whenever Tyler’s under attack for his height, his oddity, or his demonic heritage (a frequent occurrence throughout his life), she’s there to kick ass without breaking a nail. So it’s no wonder that when his hormones kick in, she’s the apple of his eye. But does he pursue her? Oh no; he’s far too much of a wuss. Girls (amongst many other things) scare him. His interests are so abnormal; he feels too much a dweeb to ever garner affection from the opposite sex. Aside from cowering in the presence of women,Tyler excels at rambling on about an era he never experienced, obscure video games, and any neurotic thought that passes his mind; and though one wouldn't guess from his stature, he manuevers well on a basketball court and is the captain of the JV baskeball team.
