FAITH: THE UNHOLY TRINITY

The World - This verse focuses on the idea that Amy and Michael are not, and never were, possessed. Rather, Amy being possessed and in need of an exorcism was all in John’s mind and he was the one to kill her family, causing both him and Amy to be confined to a mental institution. Michael was also never a victim of demonic possession. He was just an innocent little boy whose religious parents took him to a priest, suspecting that his albinism may have been a sign of early childhood possession. This was not the case, but long-term separation from his family, as well as months spent in a dark basement, caused Michael to develop drastic deformities and become completely unsocialized prior to his escape. Gary isn’t actually a cult leader, he’s just a very friendly, if a bit vindictive, person. Tiffany is a jealous girl who has a crush on him, Lisa is paranoid, and demons like Alu, Miriam, and Roger don’t exist.

The World Reversed - Amy is possessed, but her demon is more akin to an annoying roommate sharing her body with her than a deadly paranormal spawn from hell clinging to her body with the intent to kill everything in sight. Still, she is not responsible for the death of her family in this verse, John is. Michael’s situation is no different; he’s still just an innocent little boy who happened to be a victim of circumstance at the hands of a neglectful caretaker. Gary leads a vicious cult looking to indoctrinate or sacrifice new people. Tiffany has performed the second death and merged with a demon hoping to get Gary’s attention. Lisa is being stalked by the cult and finds herself unable to leave in the days leading up to her possession by Alu. Roger and Miriam linger, but they are passive-aggressive and only lash out when provoked.

The Devil - This verse focuses on the idea that John Ward was not delusional. Amy and Michael are indeed possessed. Amy’s demon has almost full control over her. Michael, on the other hand, is less affected by his demon due to the extensive amount of time spent in the company of a priest who was actively trying to rid him of it. Gary’s cult is active and aggressive in seeking out people to indoctrinate or sacrifice, and frequently engage in summoning and feeding demons like Roger and Alu. Lisa is already possessed and struggles every second to fight it, while Tiffany has merged with a demon.

Unoccupied Mayhem Verse - An AU oriented for the demons. In this verse, the demons are prevalent and active and find themselves generally unoccupied and distanced from the inner workings of Hell. Miriam is a quiet demon taking on the form of a nun or spindly old woman as she meanders about. Roger, much like Miriam, has a tendency to wander about in shadows and scare people. He mostly communes with Miriam, not adjusted (or willing) to speak with humans. Alu is a trickster that preys on unsuspecting humans. He often shifts into a human form to lure people into traps, ranging from tempting women into bed with or leading men into situations where they can be hurt or even killed. He thrives off chaos and is a rambunctious, hot-headed nuisance that often annoys Miriam and Roger on the rare occasions that they cross paths. Gary is a trickster much like Alu, often using his charm to see what he can get from people or get away with, and has something of a following behind his antics. Jefferey lingers in elevators and stairways looking to play the elevator game and prank people who pass by. Malphas is a messenger that flies between Hell and Earth, otherwise, he stays with Miriam and helps with chores and work. The UNSPEAKABLE also stays with Miriam, showing little interest in most things and contentedly wandering about the woods between chores.
