The Many Lives of Lucifer the First

aka, the "How Has Being In Game Changed Him" meme.


ADSTRINGENDUM

The change for him here has been really gradual. I didn't even really notice until the past few interactions he's had. But basically, he was alone for a while, and he decided Adstringendum would be his own personal playground/testing area.

And then he met Rhode Kamelot, and he got a taste of what life would be like if he had a sibling who not only still loved him but supported him. A sibling who was even eager to lay her neck on the chopping block for him at the end of the war, if that's what it took.

Little by little, Lucifer became so attached, so homesick, that by the time Anna, Castiel, and Gabriel came to the city he was almost willing to compromise. Almost.

Now he even has Michael, and a very tentative truce with the two brothers he loved most. All of this and the general atmosphere at Adstringendum has, I think, allowed him to analyze himself for the first time in millions of years. That is again largely thanks to Rhode, but the dreamscape event with Anna and then generally trying to get close to Gabriel again has kept it rolling.

I have NO IDEA where he's going from here. Rhode is gone and he's damn near heartbroken so...violence. Which will probably damage the relationships he has built with Gabriel and Michael, so it could go either really well or really really badly.

Siren's Pull's Lucifer is different. He's met Aslan, which has nudged him into introspection the way Rhode did, but in the opposite direction. He's much, much more angry than any other Lucifer I play, because he's being forced to deal with the fact that he murdered his baby brother and may have to do it again.

He waffles between "I cannot do that again I can't deal with it I couldn't live with that" and "No wait yes I can I have to he's a traitor" and then there's the confusion over Gabriel forgiving him.

He's, I think, set up to be even more volatile than he is in canon because of it. He's scared in ways that he probably felt in canon but never had to confront head-on. So. Yeah.
