SpoilerWhile most of the apocalypse was fraught with angels, several demons popped out of the woodworks, to torment the populace, but they deemed to be generally harmless compared to the current main threats, and the threats of the previous two world ending scenarious.

Soon finding out that actually they feared humans, and not the other way around, most of them fled to their home dimensions, but some joined up with local demons. For example, in Michigan, they joined the fabled goblin of Detroit... the Nain Rouge, bringer of curses. He helped them create a shanty town deep below the city of Detroit, built from trash, junk, and unsold car wreckage. And not a few years later, he handed them allover to the Mayor of the city. Maybe the Nain Rouge decided he works alone, or maybe it was just a step in the grandest prank against Detroit, that will pay off somewhere in the distant future.

While the existence of the demons was a common knowledge, the mayor decided to keep this a secret. In exchange, they asked the demons to provide the city with much needed electricity, or rather... hellectricity. This is provided by terrible rituals, which mainly involve chanting, running in very large and uncomfortable hamster wheels, and rolling rocks up very high, to let them roll down. It is all tiresome.

Demons were also forced to build a large paternoster (paternosters were all the rage in this distant dystopian future) leading to the surface. Its aboveground exit is inside a fake power plant.

One of these demons was Disfortunato, a demon of both sloth and greed. Originally spending his time on earth, he was tasked with break various appliances just for fun. Once the apocalypse was over, he became more subtle. He broke things, and then posed as an itinerant repairman, who charged a high 'convenience fee', for his repairs. Eventually, after being busted, and chased out of a town at gunpoint (covered in garlick, that is good against demons, right?) he realized that maybe, a solo gig was not worth it. He joined up with several demonic travelers, and tried to be nice to them. Sure, he pretended to be nice to humans while in his repairman persona, but being genuinely nice felt so wrong. So slowly, he adopted a sarcastic tone to cope with this. The demons didn't mind, I mean, when after saying "Suuure, I will fix your hellcar, I hope this time you won't break it in a day", he really did fix the car, and when they crashed the next day, he fixed it again!

Eventually, they joined up with the Nain Rouge, who very nicely provided them with a natural cave under Detroit, which they soon transformed into an unnatural cave. Committees formed (mostly talking about things like 'Do we make a skyscraper out of these car wrecks, or a mall'), and Dis' tried to claw his way into them. After all, the city was called Dis, and his nickname was Dis', it was like, an infernal sign.

Surprisingly soon, he managed to struggle up to become the personal yesman of the Nain Rouge... But then the Nain Rouge gave up the undercity to the mayor of the above town, appointing Dis' as the operator of the soon to be built paternoster. The true power was in the hand of an EPA agent, who forced the demons into producing something he called... Hellectricity.

Dis' is now at a choice. Either become the yesman of the new head honcho, stay as a handyman in a menial position, or revert back to breaking things...

Spoiler

The original band of demons Dis' travelled with. Drifted away when he tried to rise in power, but still amiable.

Asmodidactyl: Originally a demon of sloth, but decided to become the demon of anteater, which he heard is in the same order anyways. Obviously, not very bright, he will tell you useful information without realizing it was useful.

Σario: (pronounced Sigmario) A demon of lust and envy. Has a terrifying mustache. Can shapeshift, but the mustache always stays.

Hyeronima Bosch: A demoness of wrath with a bird head, smoking a horrifying cigar. The most powerful demoness in the Hellectricity plant, the best at using the hamster wheels.

Trapped Princes: A collection of tiny demons, representing the sin of spam mail. There are several dozens of them. Usually work as tiny informants, but it is hard to stop them from talking.

Desdemonica Evil Totally a real demon and not a human girl with fake horns, I mean with this name, what else could she be? There is no other explanation!

Humans, enemies

Mayor Cadillac: The first mayor to successfully best the Nain Rouge of Detroit in a game of chance, he now owns the Corrugated Iron City Of Dis. Descendant of the original mayor whose life was ruined after he was disrespectful to the Nain Rouge. He is really smug about the entire thing, and decided to exploit the realm for free """thermal energy""".

William Puck: An environment protection agent official, who claims hellectricity is much safer than say, solar power. He is either in the pocket of the mayor, or the mayor is in his pocket.

Human, ????

Jacarta Quest: Reporter in Detroit. Tries to reveal the truth behind the """Thermal energy plant""". Doesn't know yet that the Corrugated Iron City Of Dis exists, but has inklings of something supernatural going on. Met Dis' once when she tried to sneak into the plant, and triggered an alarm. Dis' helped to escape in a strange fit of altruism. He was in a sloppy human disguise.

The Big Man, friend or enemy? Its complicated:

The Nain Rouge: The famous goblin of Detroit. Gave the Corrugated Iron City Of Dis to the current mayor, which many suspect was actually a scam, with a long, horrible payoff. Hasn't been seen for a while.
