Focalor design draft 1!
Tumblr media
Potential changes:
Maybe no tail… tail feels too weird (but then again this is hell and it’s part of his griffon body…)
Need to figure out what the Paradise Lost uniform is (I think it’s just a black and white suit??)
Better transition between horns and face
More interesting eyes
Falcolor info if anyone was wondering

i think the biggest whiplash i had was when barbatos and leraje was released from whb. sun lover versus hunting/ cynical vs a guy who likes thunder - magi anon
Now, I'm a little fuzzy on this, but I think they *can* reject conquerors. If memory serves right, Belial tried to do so with Hakuryuu (but was forced to anyway), so did Zepar with Sinbad (He picked Serendine instead, after a contest, but wasn't all that keen on Sin regardless iirc), and we saw that with Leraje too (flipped Kouen off and picked Kouha instead, which I'll actually talk about below) as well as Sinbad getting kicked out because he already had seven djinn, so I'm working with that assumption in mind, just as a heads up.
Leraje also gave me whiplash, in a way. However... I don't know if I'd say she's cynical as whole. She was hurt and betrayed by someone she trusted and as result, she ended up guarding her heart behind three military-degree walls. And the worst part is that it still hurts like a bitch. That's way she rejected Kouen without a moment's hesitation and called him a cheater to his face. That's why she picked Kouha as her king candidate instead. Was he the one with more odds? Probably not. But she had a little bit of hope in him, because that child, who was tagging along his beloved older brother, wasn't just feared and respected, but loved.
In a way, Kouha is what she needed, someone willing to pick the broken pieces of everyone around him, patch them together and remind them that they are worthy of love and respect themselves. That's why a lot of people follow Kouha, because at his core, he's kind and caring and maybe a little bit self sacrificial.
Leraye, on the other hand... Well... We don't have the whole picture, but he seems more cruel, and bratty overall, and I bet Leraje would take a single look at her counterpart, and say that he looks like a playboy... But at least he's pretty, as a saving grace.
They both share that streak of being maybe a little too invested in someone they love, though (Leraje never quite let go of Focalor, and Leraye trails after Satan like a puppy) so yeah.
I don't quite recall Djinn Barbatos in terms of personality, but the silver vs gold color palette is definitely interesting. But I dived into the wiki anyway, and he is noted as someone cheerful, the easygoing type you can get along with, but also a responsible sort who knew that when duty calls, you must attend to it, but after the fall and all, he lost some of his mortal morality and became much more war loving. But he still chose Muu of all people. Muu, who's kind, caring, a goof, the pitch perfect sunshine pup... And also a terrifying, if a little obtuse, guardian dog when he has to, so apparently Barbs kept that outlook of we party when we can, and we fight when we must.
Devil Barbs... I think he's a wee bit more careless. He wanted to go naked to war, after all. Which isn't all that different from the Alma Toran gang and the Djinn equips in a way, but it kinda gives "I don't give a shit" right now. And he seems a little less approachable, more callous, I guess?
So overall I think those two would get along somewhat, but they would have frictions, especially when it comes to "you should get your shit together, you're in the middle of a literal war". But if you get them together to party and spend downtime, congrats! You are now in the middle of a) a shit show b) an orgy c) lots of fun or d) all of the above! They would gang up on OM!Barbs, probably, at least to get him to loosen up on down times. Although Djinn Barbs would be against disturbing Demon Barbs when he's on duty. He might not be fighting, but he is serving a king, just like he did in the past.
I know you didn't ask for a rant-analysis-speculation, but! :D!

Finally gonna make a WHB oc!!
Focalor!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(there are multiple iterations of him because I can't decide on a design for the life of me)
The Demon Focalor is a fallen Angel and the 41st of the 72 Spirits of Solomon. Prior to his fall, Focalor was a member of the angelic order of thrones. In Hell, he reigns as a duke with 31 Legions of Demons. He appears as a man with griffin wings. He has the power of the wind and the sea and drowns men and sinks warships. If commanded, he will not harm anyone. Prior to his fall, he was in the order of thrones. After 1,000 years, he hopes to return to the seventh heaven.

Changes to fit into WHB canon:
He’s a fallen angel who resides in Paradise Lost, it's rumored he used to be a close ally of Lucifer and even helped him during his descent
He’s extremely loyal to those above him (including you), and will follow orders to the utmost of his abilities.
While he does live in Paradise Lost, he’s most often found at the shore or on the high seas, acting as a naval commander.
Being a fallen angel, he knows how to lie and deceive others.
He’s a cruel captain of his ship, often throwing his subordinates overboard for the smallest of offenses.
Being chosen to join Focalor’s crew has been rumored to be more of a punishment than a reward
While he does have a lot of fun as a naval commander, a small part of him misses heaven and regrets helping Lucifer.
His idiosyncrasy is aquaphilia!
Aquaphilia. A sexual fetish that involves people swimming, posing, or even drowning in water.
