[00] Relationships

His little brother, and easily his whole world.
Naoya's relationship with Hiro is more than a little complicated. As Cain, Naoya slew Abel many millenia ago over jealousy that he was God's favorite-- a jealously that to this day has never died. He cares about his little brother yes, but in all the wrong ways.
In this life Naoya has been a rather strong guiding hand in Abel's, basically trying to grow him into the Demon King who would challenge God and start the Holy War. It worked for the most part-- until the Lockdown, and until Abel started to realize that things weren't quite right. But Naoya's arrogance didn't quite factor in for this will of Abel's quite as it should, and if Abel were to choose the holy path well... it would be a repeat of that time in the fields so long ago. Their relationship right now is tense to put it mildly, yet Naoya still feels like in the end-- his dear little brother will make the right choice. But there's always plan B if he doesn't.
controlroute
His apprentice whom he met on an internet forum some years ago. In a way, Naoya's quite fond of him. He listens and looks up to Naoya as he should, and better yet, he's yet to truly fail him.
It's also safe to say that Atsuro knows Naoya on a more intimate level than most-- late night programming binges tend to create the oddest scenarios.

Naoya doesn't think much of Yuzu at all. She has her uses, but besides that he couldn't care less about her. He only was moderately polite to her because she was Abel's friend, but ever since the Lockdown he hasn't bothered to keep up much of a pretense.
She's easy to set off though, and he enjoys that.
ohloloki
The trickster God, and the person who knows him best. They met quite some many reincarnations ago, when Naoya contracted him. Their relationship is confusing, snarky, playful, and something entirely else all together.
They have a unique bond and taste in things, both enjoying watching both people and the world fall into chaos. Oh, and they both love to drink.
Luceti

Draco, draco, draco. Or sometimes, Little Loki. Of all the people Naoya has met in Luceti, Draco is the one he's most fond of. Their banter amuses Naoya on so many levels, and the way Draco acts-- it is very much like an adolescent form of the Trickster God. This connection is perhaps the only reason Naoya let Draco find out his true identity of Cain, that and it freaked Draco out. Which was way worth it for the effect.
Naoya wants to help him. Unfortunately, Naoya's help is well...

Dearest Little Angel. Anything or anyone that has ties with heaven is a no-no in Naoya's book. But somehow, Kohaku irritates Naoya more with how naive she is. What's worse is that until recently, she continued to talk to him, and they even got body-swapped.
Then, Naoya decided to try to murder her.
It was a factor's of a bunch of things at once, but Naoya isn't sorry in the least. He would do it again, although he knows deep down that he let his emotions get ahead of him. Careful planning next time would be better.

If there was one person in Luceti whom Naoya would kill in a heartbeat, it's her. Yet, that wouldn't be quite enough just to kill her, no he would want to make a long and painful job out of it.
Naoya and grudges don't go too well. Tends to happen when you reincarnate constantly with all your memories. So in one way or another, in one life or another, he will get his revenge on this wizard. She was the one who attacked mercilessly after his debacle with Kohaku, quite seriously at that.
He won't forget.
pretty_fascist
All in all, Dilandau seems to be one of the easiest people to manipulate. It's clear what he wants, and Naoya's all too eager to give it. The two can both enjoy some chaos and bloodsheed, but Naoya sees him as nothing more than an amusement, and an easily manipulated pawn.
blackenedchaos
A demon Naoya met only recently. The usual fanfare as far as Demons & attitudes go, but certainly on the more violent side.
He's interesting, and Naoya is more than happy to watch, or even help if he needs it.
