Line 34:
** There's also the question of what exactly happened to Eve. She is mentioned twice (in the backstory of the first episode, and in the season one finale) but has not been seen in person. It seems odd that Adam is such an important character but Eve is nowhere to be found.
* [[Anti-Anti-Christ]]: Charlie; the actual daughter of Lucifer, she is more benevolent than most demons, her goal being to find a path to redemption for sinners. Quite likely, she is the complete opposite of a typical anti-Christ.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Vaggie and Lucifer are Type 2, Angel Dust usually fits Type 3, Cherri Bomb, Sir Pentious, Husk, and Niffty hover between Type 3 and Type 4, Carmilla and Rosie are either type 4 or 5 (depending on one's interretation), while Alastor is Type 5, occassionally moving into the whiter side of [[Anti-Villain]].
** By the end of season 1, {{spoiler| Angel Dust and Pentious are upgraded to type 2 at leasr.}}
* [[Author Avatar]]: Vivziepop has neither confirmed nor denied this, but it seems to be true for Vaggie. The [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Person]] in the cast in most cases, Vaggie is Salvadorian, like Vivzie is, and wears a black choker, which Vivzie has worn in most interviews.<ref>To be fair, similar chokers are worn by Loona and Verosika in [[Helluva Boss| the sister series]], but nothing says the author can't have more than one avatar.</ref>
* [[Badass Gay]]: Charlie is bisexual, Vaggie and Angel Dust are both gay, Alastor is "aromantic asexual", and Husk is pansexual ([[Word of Saint Paul|something revealed by Faustisse, one of the show's illustrators]]); LGBT themes seem common in this show.
Line 70 ⟶ 72:
* [[Crapsack World]]: You expected differently from Hell? Gang wars are so common, the results are broadcast on the news with the way you'd expect them to report the weather. While cities seem to be loosely ruled by Overlords, those positions are only held so long as they can defend them from others. And then there are the annual purges...
* [[Creepy Child]]: Niffty; her teeth are nastier-looking than even Alastor's, her single eye throbs with veins when she is excited, and her affectionate way of greeting Sir Pentious is combined with body-language that suggests she wants to eat him or something; Charlie [[False Reassurance|assures him]] "We're about 80% sure she's harmless..."
** That was actually rather accurate. Niffty injured Valentino and {{spoiler| killed Adam}}, but didn't harm the eight other characters she has interacted with (Charlie, Vaggie, Angel Dust, Husk, Alastor, Cherri Bomb, Sir Pentious, and Lucifer), meaning she is ''exactly'' 80% harmless!
* [[Cruel Mercy]]: {{spoiler| Lute does not fare well in against Vaggie in the season one finale, losing her left arm in a brutal and bloody battle. Despite telling Vaggie to [[Get It Over With]], Vaggie refuses, telling her to begone and live with her failure.}}
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler| In the season one finale, when Lucifer decides to intevene and engage Adam, he spends a minute or so cajoling and trolling the now-furious villain, but when Adam's rage destroys the Hotel and injures Charlie, Lucifer stops playing and ''one punch'' from the King of Hell sends Adam plummeting to the ground and forming a crater on impact. Charlie actually has to hold her angry father back.}}
Line 104 ⟶ 107:
* [[Easy Road to Hell]]: Possibly, seeing as many characters identified as damned souls have not been seen doing anything truly bad. Angel Dust is a drug addict, prostitute, and drag queen, but he seems decent overall; Vaggie, aside from occasional rudeness and snarkiness doesn't seem evil at all. One of the biggest controversies of this show is the suggestions that some characters are Hell simply for being gay. Possibly because Heaven isn't as "good" as it used to.
* [[Elderly Sensei]]: Zestial, who appears in epsiode 3, is a ''very'' old and experienced Overlord (so much that he talks with [[Flowery Elizabethan English]]) who seems to be this to the other Overlords, including Alastor. While his reputation is such that civilians are utterly terrified of him, he is [[Older and Wiser]] than the younger Overlords, advising them to show restraint during the troubling actions by the Exorcists.
* [[Electronic Speech Impediment]]:
** Alastor's voice sounds like a scratchy old radio speaker, fitting given his moniker as the Radio Demon.
** While not as much as Alastor, Vox does this too occassionally (usually when he is angry) his voice sounding like the audial from an actual television, sometimes including sound effects like a jackpot bell from a game show.
* [[Enemy Mine]]:
** Subverted with the Vees. Although Velvette had posited that Hell should rise and fight the angels, {{spoiler|she's happy to sit back and watch Charlie do that. It never occurred to her that if Charlie had lost, the Overlord would have possibly been the next targets.}}
** Played straight when {{spoiler|Carmilla tests Vaggie about her love for Charlie and reason to fight before telling her how one kills an angel. Turns out she knew Vaggie was a fallen angel all along, and wanted to see if she was truly committed to protecting the hotel for Charlie. Once Vaggie passes, Carmilla gives her the info about celestial weapons.}}
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]:
*
* [[Evil vs. Evil]]: Turf wars among residents of Hell are so common that the news reports them like they would the weather. ▼
** Vox is exploitative, petty and cunning, wanting to destroy the Hotel because Alastor is funding it. Even he looks weirded out when Lucifer threatens to {{spoiler| ''fuck'' Adam for threatening his daughter, until Charlie clarifies "It's fuck you up, Dad." Seems that nonconsensual sex is the one line he draws for himself.}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Adam to Charlie, Lute to Vaggie, and (possibly)<ref>Assuming there isn't a higher authority in Heaven directing Sera</ref> Sera to Lucifer
▲* [[Evil
* [[Evil Luddite]]: Alastor really, really hates television claiming calling it off “noisy picture box” and insisting that radio is “the proper medium to express oneself”. Obviously, this is the biggest reason for his enmity with Vox. In episode 1, he makes a deal with vagi (not that kind) agreeing to help her make a proper commercial if she promises never to get him involved with television again.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Vaggie has one over her left eye with a big "X" on it. No explanation was given in the pilot, though later on, it does seem rather familiar...
Line 179 ⟶ 187:
* [[The Rival]]: When Lucifer and Alastor first meet in episode 5, it takes them all of 15 seconds to despise each other, not helped by Alastor insinuating that he would be a better father to Charlie then Lucifer himself.
* [[Rousseau Was Right]]: Charlie truly seems to believe this, at least in regards to humans. Sadly, most of Hell has more of a Machiavellian outlook.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: While Lucifer is depressed and neglects his leadership duties, leaving most of them to Lilith, Charlie takes an active approach to help reform sinners to spare them from the purges. No one takes her seriously because they don't expect the Princess of Hell to do more than be charming, {{spoiler|at least until the first season finale}}. Vaggie lampshades that it's because Charlie acts like [[Modest Royalty]] that no one fears her.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Charlie's last name - Morningstar - is a reference to ''[[The Sandman]]'', where the Devil is called Lucifer Morningstar.
Line 188 ⟶ 197:
** Vaggie; [[Word of God]] claims she is Salvadoran.
** Probably Carmilla (as she can speak Spanish and her dance-battle theme is flamenco music) but not confirmed.
* [[Stupid Evil]]:
** Adam isn't very bright. Granted, he is a decent fighter and field leader, and a dire threat to demon-kind, but that is clearly not due to his intellect. Sure, he managed to convince Sera (with Lute’s help) that it was in her best interests to continue the annual purges, but his big problem is, this is marred by his arrogant, impulsive, egotistical attitude. In layman's terms, he wants to solve every problem immediately as it comes up, and always the way he believes he should, reasons and possible consequences be damned. In episode 6, when he sees Charlie and Vaggie and in Heaven, he wants to assault them right then and there, Lute having to hold him back while reminding him of the possible consequences of assaulting two guests in front of dozens of witnesses. Even worse, later in the same episode, his big mouth reveals the entire conspiracy to the rest of Heaven, which is specifically what Sera had told him not to do just a few scenes earlier. Eventually, this impulsiveness is what does him in when, during the season one finale, he decides to attack the hotel itself, breaking a deal made with Lucifer, and enabling the now-angry King of Hell to come after him with no restraint.
** The Vees - especially Vox - fall into this in the season one finale, wasting time watching the assault on the Hotel on television (Vox eagerly cheering them on, hoping the battle will result in Alastor's death) while they should be securing themselves in a bunker or something. They don't seem to figure out that should Charlie and her friends lose, the Exorcists would likely be coming for ''them'' next, and without any angelic weapons, they'd (and the other Overlords) would be slaughtered.
* [[Terrible Trio]]: Vox, Valentino, and Velvette, three Overlords who are allies and possibly friends. Vox and Valentino are even hinted to be romantically involved, with Velvette encouraging them as such. Most fans assume that the reason they have achieved their lofty positions is because they have each others' backs.
* [[Time Abyss]]: Three verified examples; Adam (the [[Big Bad]]) is ''the'' Adam from the Biblical story of Eden, and Lilith (Charlie's mother) is Adam's first wife, meaning both are as old as humanity. Charlie's father Lucifer is even older, the backstory saying he is older than the Earth and predating the creation of Hell.
