What he really wanted to do, though, was to compete in rally racing professionally. But he did not have the luxury to pick a career. His parents, both outlaws on the bottom rung of organized crime, died before their time, leaving him with little more than substantial debts to the local syndicate. After years of committing acts of violence for subsistence, and one particularly close call that had him temporarily relocate to the US with the help of a Devilish lawyer, he finally accumulated enough resources to get himself into the driver’s seat of a rally car, only to perish in a racing incident two years into the stint. Such was his luck — or so he thought, until he accomplished the unusual feat of escaping a torment nexus and was brought back to earth under contract with an Archdevil of Gluttony to work as Head Cook in a Hell-owned New Jersey diner. In death, can he finally find a place to belong to, and people who treat him as something more than an asset or a burden? ## Relationships ### Dmitriy Lang <img class="relationship-image-small" src="chibi_dmitriy.jpg" alt="Chibi Dmitriy">Emil’s once codependent Ex-Something. They had a long, difficult, and enmeshed history together, but Dmitriy remembers none of it now, ostensibly thanks to Heaven magic. Perhaps that is for the best for both of them. If only the mere thought of him doesn’t hurt so much... ### Ishatari Damawi <img class="relationship-image-small" src="chibi_isha.jpg" alt="Chibi Isha">An old goddess stripped of her power and forced into servitude, whom Emil latched onto out of a need for a new master (or a ward, it’s hard to tell sometimes). If anything happened to her, he would kill everyone involved and then himself. ### Solomon Malphus <img class="relationship-image-small" src="chibi_solomon.jpg" alt="Chibi Solomon">The Devil lawyer who’s helped Emil get acquitted of crimes he definitely did commit, and owns 48% of his soul. Since becoming coworkers at the Deviled Egg, their relationship has developed in a heated and potentially disastrous direction... ### The Voron <img class="relationship-image-small" src="chibi_voron.jpg" alt="Chibi Voron">Russian mob boss who formerly employed Emil on a few occasions. Definitely not a necromancer who orchestrated the racing incident that killed Emil just so that she could claim his body as her own instrument. ### ??? <img class="relationship-image-small" src="chibi_emil.jpg" alt="Chibi Emil">What becomes of a body without a soul? Does a new consciousness arise out of the stillness and decay? Might any trace of the original person still remain?
