What is Descending...?

It started a little more than half a dozen years ago... Two pre-adolescent girls poured all of their time and creativity into fan characters derived from a testosterone-filled 80's anime. Established characters morphed; new beings were created; and nothing resembled the original save a few names.



It was time to branch out... aliens became demons, and these demons needed a story of their own.



The year is 2053. It is a time where demons live upon the earth amongst humans. Many demons choose to commit and encourage sin. But, a minority exists within the demonic population− a minority trying to live normal lives. For these demons making the right choices in a human dominated society is a daily trial. Especially when it seems like the rest of the world wants to destroy you.

Bio/Personality: Charismatic and confident, Travis is a demon who has somehow managed to be accepted by the human student population. He's a nice guy who is quick to solve problems and always willing to lend a few words of advice. As Senior Class President, he knows almost everybody at school. 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
Date of Birth: Before Time Itself
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.

Family: Christie Brooks (Mother), Mickey Brooks (Father)

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.
