Mental characteristics
Personal history
Initially, Umboros created the Ethereal Plane to look after the souls of the dead. This realm was a place where all souls could find solace and be recycled back into the living world. Umboros, bound to his duty, often made deals and favors with souls, granting them gifts in return for their adherence to his laws.
However, as the other gods and titans began shaping the material world and influencing the mortals, corruption and evil began to manifest in the souls of the deceased. Umboros, witnessing this change, realized the need for a more complex system to ensure that only the worthy souls would find peace and happiness.
Elysium: From his heart, Umboros created Elysium, a place of peace and tranquility for virtuous souls. Elysium is a realm of eternal rest and joy, where worthy souls find solace and are rewarded for their good deeds.
Purgatory: From his mind, Umboros formed Purgatory, a place for souls to atone for their wrongdoings. Purgatory is a realm of reflection and penance, where souls can learn and grow before moving on to their final destinations.
This change ensured that the balance between good and evil was maintained, and that only those deserving of happiness or reincarnation would receive it.
Umboros' Tragic Love and the Birth of Asmodeus
In the early days of the world, Umboros, the solemn and enigmatic Titan of the Underworld, devoted himself to overseeing the souls of the dead. He cherished every soul, making deals and granting favors to those who followed his laws, ensuring a balance between life and death. However, this balance was disrupted by a cunning and ambitious mortal soul named Lysara. Lysara was a mortal whose intelligence and beauty were matched only by her insatiable thirst for power. Desiring the immense power of Umboros, she devised a plan to trick the Titan and claim his strength for herself. Using her charm and guile, Lysara presented herself as a soul in need of guidance and compassion. Her deceitful nature was masked by a facade of vulnerability and innocence. Umboros, moved by her plight, began to favor Lysara, granting her powers and abilities beyond those of a typical mortal soul. Over time, Umboros fell in love with Lysara, entranced by her seeming purity and devotion. The union between Umboros and Lysara was one of passion and intensity, and from their union, a child was conceived before her deceit was discovered. The child born from this union was Asmodeus, a being unlike any other. Asmodeus inherited the power and essence of his father, Umboros, but was also tainted by the deceit and ambition of his mother, Lysara. Born of his father's rage and his mother's deceit, Asmodeus embodied the darkest aspects of both his parents. Asmodeus grew rapidly in power and influence, quickly revealing his true nature as a patron of oppression and power. He became the first devil and the ruler of all devilkind, creating the Nine Hells, a realm of unyielding tyranny and ceaseless warfare. The Nine Hells became the final destination for malevolent souls, where they faced eternal torment and punishment under Asmodeus' rule.
