#the art is a part of my fantastic three dress up series so I'll post those whenever i feel i have enough of them

My favourites and why:

Diavolo: he's a benevolent ruler, and the juxtaposition of his public image versus his internal desires makes for really compelling storytelling. He commands respect due to his station but I can believe that he's respected even without it. He's very powerful, but doesn't abuse his power. He's a ray of sunshine. He's sometimes awkward and tries too hard and he wants to fit in, but he's also self aware when he wants to be. He's got only-child syndrome and was spoiled rotten, but also had a dificult childhood. He saved the brothers from their fate because it was the right thing to do, but he also had to make a decision to protect his kingdom and he fights with himself over why he really did it. He's the Devildom Prince.

Lucifer: he believes strongly in his ideals and will fight to defend them. He is protective and harried and familial, but he's also abrasive and territorial and mad. He puts a distance between himself and everyone he cares about but there is no doubt that he cares very deeply. He's tired and the weight of the world is on his shoulders and everything seems to need his attention like small speckles of sand falling between his fingers, but like an hourglass he holds every grain and counts every one. He's annoying, he's a busy body, he's soft, he's loving.

Barbatos: he's an all-powerful being of unreasonable power but he stays where he is because he loves what he does. He enjoys the mundane as if each task means that his reality remains in stasis for however long he needs it. He's extremely competent but petty as hell. Nothing escapes his watchful eyes, but he'll be damned if he reveals every card in hand. He's defeated by rat.
