Hell-8

Rima, the Black Vein

A thief and a rogue, Rima was betrayed by her own kind, and killed by her own men during a big theft. Now she tries to escape Hell to search for retribution. She was given the bow of the broken heart by the lord demon Asmodeus, a weapon that can shoot arrows of pure darkness and can be commanded to return to her owner. She is capable of fire three arrows in a row, and command them to return, but needs to recover them to shoot again.

Once a shadow among shadows, Rima was a master thief—swift, silent, and merciless. But even shadows cast shade. Betrayed by her own crew during the heist of a lifetime, she was left to die with a dagger in her back and a curse on her name.

Now in Hell, vengeance is the only coin she trades.

Gifted the Bow of the Broken Heart by the demon lord Asmodeus, Rima wields a weapon forged from bitterness and sorrow. It fires arrows of pure darkness that obey her command—piercing through enemies, then curling back like memories too sharp to forget.

• Fires three arrows in rapid succession
• Can recall arrows mid-flight or when stuck, hitting foes on the return
• Must recover her arrows to shoot again—every shot counts

She hunts not just to survive, but to punish. Each arrow is a message. Each kill, a memory she refuses to let rot.

Dren, the Crimson Creed

In life, Dren was a knight only in name—a butcher in armor, revered and feared for his battlefield frenzy. He didn't fight for kings or causes, only for carnage. Wherever he marched, rivers of blood followed. His men whispered of his obsession, of how he bathed in the gore of the fallen like it were sacred.

When he died—cut down not by war, but by his king who feared the monster he had created — Hell welcomed him like a brother.

There, the demon Aamon offered him a gift worthy of his legend: Daaleel, a cursed sword forged from the congealed blood of a thousand betrayed souls. It drinks deeper with every kill, and its song can only be heard by its master.

• Hurls Daaleel like a jagged blood projectile that rips through foes
• Can teleport instantly to the sword's location, closing gaps or escaping ambushes
• The blade remains dangerous even when still—a trap for the unwary

Dren isn't here for redemption. He's here to spill hell's blood like it's holy writ. The creed he lives by is etched in flesh—and he recites it with every strike.

Ashka, the Ember Wretch

Once branded a heretic and chained to the pyre, Ashka burned with more than flame—she burned with fury. Accused by the inquisition for powers they could never control, she was turned to cinders under a sky that watched in silence.

But death was not the end.

The demon lord Baal plucked her soul from the smoldering remains and forged her anew—a living vessel of ash and flame, her heart replaced by the Ruby of Hellfire, a cursed gem that answers only to her will. In return, Baal claimed her soul, binding her to his eternal service.

But Ashka's obedience burns thinner than her skin.

• Launches short-range fireballs—blazing bursts of searing wrath
• Ignites the battlefield, conjuring a fire zone that scorches anything that lingers

She doesn't want freedom. She wants retribution, and she'll burn through Hell itself to see the inquisitors scream as she once did.
