Ahem. Yes. Lucifer! Also known as Samael, Beelzebub, any number of other names past and present, and his personal favorite, Old Scratch. (Call him the Prince of Lies and he might get put out, though. He never lies.) He's the actual Devil, and a few years ago, he decided he was done ruling Hell and it was time for a vacation. The indefinite kind, if you know what we mean.

So he came down to Los Angeles, because where else would he go? And brought his trusty demonic servant Mazikeen with him, to run a pretty little club called Lux. If you're lucky, he might even sing!

Somewhere in the process of it all, he met and befriended a host of colorful characters, including the delightful Detective, Chloe Decker. It was good, for a bit, in spite of Cain and his mother showing up. He was having a ball, fighting crime, that sort of thing.

Then Chloe found out what he was, and she dealt... poorly.

So, Lucifer's taking a bit of a vacation from his vacation. He's going to swing by this island, run a 'class', drink new drinks and sleep with new people, and then he'll just... figure out a way to move on with his life in LA without Chloe Decker. Sometimes people are just... incompatible, you know? Clearly you don't know, you wonderful, oblivious human. Ah well.





... Meet Lucifer Morningstar. He isn't doing too hot right now. He has succesfully sublimated all of his deepseated self-loathing and shoved it deeply into a deep locker inside himself, but being around Chloe right now just reminds him that. He isn't. A good enough person for anyone to accept in the fullness of his being.

This is fine. Everything is fine! He just needs closure. And his therapist Linda's said that sometimes you need a bit of distance, that's all. He will be. Fine.

He certainly isn't letting anyone at home know where he's going, that's for sure.



Meet Lucifer Morningstar, played by Tom Ellis, an actor who has been referred to as 'a Muppet in the body of a Greek God' by at least one of his co-stars to my knowledge. He's the star of the show Lucifer, which is ostensibly based off of Neil Gaiman and Mike Carey's Lucifer the comic book character, but is really just a ridiculous, campy police procedural about the Devil deciding to freelance as a civilian advisor to the police. At its worst, the show is a soapy mess that fixates entirely too much on the lovelives of its extremely dumb characters. At its best, it's a ridiculous, funny yet kind of tragic exploration of a man who deeply hates himself but doesn't care to admit it.

It has very little to do with the comic.

Honest to god, you'll be happier as soon as you embrace that fact.

Lucifer has the power to make people reveal the thing that they desire the most. I have no plans to use the desire power unless it's agreed to OOCly first, but if you think it'll be a help in a plot or character development or whatever, feel free to hit me up.




He's got other powers: he's the actual Devil, and that brings with it a not inconsiderate amount of power, from invulnerability to super strength and the ability to mold his body into whatever he's feeling like he is at the time. (Considering he hates himself, you can maybe imagine this going awry. You know the traditional image of the devil as this terrible red thing with horns and sores and whatnot? That's Lucifer at his self-loathiest.)

Other than that, he's an extremely self-centered, shameless, hedonistic, charming, flamboyant arse with a good heart tucked somewhere deep in there and who cares entirely too much about his suits. And makes a lot of devil puns. It amuses him. Especially when people won't believe it when he says he's Satan.

He's about to be a teacher. This will be fantastic.

I actually already had this on my 'to watch' list, but I guess it's getting bumped-up in the queue!

Just try not to spend too much time with Season 3. It's... very bad.

[mother_forker]

Let’s see. The actual devil is in Fandom as well as a person destined to go to the bad place. This should go well.

[my_own_advocate]

Have you done something that warrants punishment, Eleanor?

[mother_forker]

Well. I haven't killed anyone if that's what you mean. Or like something majorly evil like having a vanity license plate or taking my shoes or socks off on an international or domestic flight.

I may have broken into Charles Barclay's house and tried on all his shoes. (Best Chistmas Ever) And there's the one time I stole an entire shrimp platter from a Wawa in New Jersey. And had sex with a guy whose name I don't remember in the freezer of a Bruegger's Bagels on top of the everything bagels... But those are victimless crime, am I right?
