Armageddon: What Is This AU?

The Armageddon AU is an apocalyptic alternate timeline of Obey Me in which the exchange program was never created. This page is dedicated to all the juicy details of this AU that people (mostly me) cook up in our free time. Any and all contributions, whether it be headcanons, further lore development, speculation, art, or fanfiction, are wholeheartedly welcomed.

Be aware that this AU, by nature, is extremely dark and contains disturbing subject matter that may not be suitable to everyone. No punches are pulled here; this is an apocalypse.

~~~

To keep away from one intimidating essay, the main timeline is split up over a series of Lore Posts:

Lore I - The Beginnings of Destruction

Lore II - A Disrupted Balance

Lore III - A Scorched Celestial Realm

Lore IV - Hell Frozen Over

Lore V - Power-Sick

Lore VI - The Move to the Human World

~~~

There are also Character Files, which detail the roles of specific Obey Me characters in this AU:

Character File: Simeon

Character File: Luke

Character File: Satan

Character File: Michael

Character File: Raphael

Character File: Diavolo

Regarding MC

Lore I -  The Beginnings Of Destruction

<-------(Lore I)-------«

The Armageddon AU deviates from canon on one particular yet important point: the Demon King never went into his slumber.

The Demon King is still the active ruler of Devildom, and as such Diavolo has not assumed his canon status as the de-facto ruler. This means that RAD and the Exchange Program were never created.

Without Diavolo's leadership and efforts to create an understanding between the three realms, the resentment between the Devildom and the Celestial Realm continued to fester. After millennia, this culminated into a second war between the angels and the demons. This time, each side has one clear motivation: to eradicate the other once and for all.

The Armageddon has started- an ultimate fight between good and evil.

»-------(Lore II)------->

IN THE END IM JUST A DEMON.

Pressing "Keep Reading," may result in showing triggering wordplay, mature audiences are most recommended for the following entertainment.

"Move these bitches out of the area at once, men!" The sounds of thousands and thousands of innocent humans, cries, screams, and the occasional ghastly sound of a final cry before one has seen it's last day filled the abandoned factory. Beelzebub couldn't believe his eyes—

Hundreds of children being dragged by the hair into these remote areas to help the Demon King's troops win this war... and all for what reason? Why did this disaster fall upon them? Is father responsible for this? Why is he putting his own children into the battlefield, when they all are scarred and severed and at a critical point that they could collapse without even having been touched by their enemies.

Belphegor stood beside his twin, showing a look of no concern as one of the pregnant women came up to him, being shoved down and now at his feet. The orange haired demon tried to hide his tears, honest he did—but when his grievance became audible, the officer who walked her here turned to look at him alongside Belphegor. He knew his twin felt the same way he did, even if he truly hated humans to the core...

This was too much.

"Lord Beelzebub, what shall I do with this insolent bitch? She refuses to leave her child and work in the mine shafts like the rest of her fellow brethren." He turned his head to look behind the human to see you, a little dark skinned child with a nasty purple eye that was swollen. He took into note how dumbfounded you were, when the officer signaled for you to look up at the demon.

Somewhere, as he looked into your eyes, he saw something he never saw in any of the other children who were forced in here. A confused layer was evident, when looked at whole, but if you delved deeper—it was the personification of neutrality and tranquility.

Even as you heard the mimicry of the other children pleading with the soulless demons that continued to beat their mothers, in response to their incompetence or sluggish movements, you remained like stone and unmoved... quite concerning actually. As the dear person who brought you into this world was bent over, her dress ripped to pieces and the slashes on her back exposed to the cold atmosphere began to react negatively with this mix...

You never even flinched, especially as you were soon kicked to Beelzebub's feet.

"...I want the child." You looked back up at the orange tressed demon as his gloved index finger reached to point you out.

"The human woman though, Lord Beel—" For a moment, the inferior incarnate turned to look at you, but was brought back to look at his superior when he heard a barely noticeable crunch come from the two demons before him.

"What human woman?" His eyes glinted at the demon as it soon looked back to where your mother once was, but a pile of pink meat and bones replaced her. A devilish smile appeared on his face as he turned around to the hallway behind you all. Belphegor tutted his head at you, relaxing his face a bit to then smile at you and then join Beelzebub.

For a moment you watched as the two men walked down the hall until you were called.

Once you three made it to the end of the never ending turns and stops, a glass window shaped out of a heptagon was before you three.

"Isn't it magnificent?" Beelzebub commented, as he looked out and into the vast sea of bright circles that shone at you three. Atfirst you didn't know what he was talking about, as your eyes were focused on the large line of people being walked into the facility your all in now. Belphegor looked at you, soon following your line of sight to then grab the edge of your chin and pull you up to the sky.

"..."

At your lack of no response, Beelzebub went on.

"Those stars... their all clustered together as a group. No one is pushing. No one is screaming. No one is starving..." A grumble was set off, and soon he cupped his stomach as he groaned at the mentioning of food he incorporated.

"They're all just in a content, bright and happy state." Belphegor ended his other kin's line, turning to look and smile up at him.

One of the stars then began to radiate a red undertone, primarily focused onto you, and the two demons turned to look at you.

"But... it's sad we're not like that." Sweat began to build up on your forehead as you realized the jig was up. Beelzebub knelt down, soon shifting into his demon form to then lick his lips as he stared at you once more.

"Happy birthday...Princes of Glutton and Sloth..."

A sacrifice you were, to the two demons as they went onto indulging in their gift.

In the end... he was just a demon, and you a human.

Or so you would guess.

Pssst... if you agree to do art for this AU you get early access to info...

Thank you for following me 😁❤

And your AU looks interesting 👀👀

You’re very much welcome! 😁 You seem cool.

I’m so glad you find this interesting; thank you so much! There’s more on the way so stay tuned 😊 and feel free to involve yourself if you feel so inclined!

I feel like in this AU Michael and Luke would have a very Frozen Anna-and-Elsa relationship. Like, I listen to “The First Time In Forever (Reprise)” and “I Can’t Lose You” and think of a naive Luke, feeling abandoned by his role model, banging on the door of Michael’s bunker begging to be let in, while Michael shuts him out like he shut out everyone else and trying to tell Luke it isn’t safe to be around him in his current form.

WOOOOO another cool dark OM AU!!!

This is what I can come up with so far with the Au rn lol @12am-motivation

//I'll start with the infection. Think of it like The Flare virus from the maze runners except with demons :D This whole au is like a survival type basically except with modern tech, given the whole techwear designs.

// Lower level demons don't have the same kind of immunity that the higher demons have, so they fully transform into these savage monsters faster. They can still use magic but don't have control over it. The lower demons who have wings can fly too. They're sensitive to light so when it becomes night that's when become more active.

//Even though they have a so-called immunity to the infection , higher demons who get infected are still eventually gonna end up like the lower levels, it's just a much slower process, that's why sometimes, in the heat of the moment, they lose control.

//Lucifer was the first to get infected while protecting Belphie. He lost control a total of 3 times due to being stressed.

//Barbatos was the second to get infected while trying to protect his special person. He's lost control once on the day he got infected

Now Ima go into the roles each character has rn

//The characters are part of a group, literally like the student council, expect idk what to name this one

// Diavolo is obviously the Commander/Leader. He's in charge of all the rules, Assigns mission to who he see fit, all that jazz.

//Barbatos is Diavolo's personal guard but also like If anything were to happen to the leader, Barbatos is the one to be put in charge next.

//Lucifer is the Enforcer of the group, idk if i'm using that right. He's the one to keep everyone in check, mainly his brothers.

For the brothers Ima sections them off instead of giving them descriptions bc I'm rad like that

Survivalist// Mammon, Satan

Lookout// Beel, Levi, Lucifer

Guard// Beel, Mammon, Lucifer

Marksmen// Levi, Belphie

Hunts/Scouts// Asmo, Belphie, Satan, Mammon, Levi

Mammon is in charge of Beel and Satan, while Levi is in charge of belphie and Asmo.

Mammon and Levi tend to venture out together to find any signs of survivors or to map out any new areas. That's how they stumbled upon Barbs.

Satan sometimes joins them as well to learn more about the virus and to maybe come up with a "cure" for Lucifer and Barbatos, though he wont admit it.

Levi, Mammon, and Beel were all out on a mission to gather some more supplies when they encountered their first Infected High ranking demon. ((these guys are a lot stronger and actually have more control over their actions unlike the lower levels)) Levi and Beel only came out unscathed because Mammon bought them time, though at the cost of his arm

That's why Levi took it upon himself to build him a Prosthetic Arm

Despite knowing the dangers, Belphie tends to sneak out during the night to go star gazing, Mammon sometimes follows him to make sure he comes back home safely. Though this would eventually be the reason how Lucifer got infected as he went off to get Belphie back home.

Belphie hates himself for that but only Beel knows.

Asmo is the one who tends to the brothers injuries// scratches, cuts, burns, etc. He taught himself after seeing how dire the situation actually is once lucifer got infected and mammon lost his arm. He says he hates getting messy when out scouting but his smile after killing something says other wise

And thats all I can come up with for now :D

I love how you easily come up with such complex scenarios....it's amazing 😁

I try to write something but sometimes it doesn't make sense so I give 8

Thank you!

I think the fact that I’m an original fantasy writer in my spare time really helped. I’ve had a lot of practice with worldbuilding and such. For this specific project, I also took a lot of inspiration from an existing fanwork from another fandom, the Infinite Eclipse series by Jyc Row. Specifically this song from the series.

My tip is to start off with the big picture, and figure out the details later on. I didn’t start this AU knowing every little thing already; I figured things out as I went. I thought, “what is a logical consequence of X?” and went from there, and that’s how I got around 90% of my information here. It’s like a skill tree; you start with 1 point, the basic general premise, and as you explore, different pathways start to open up. After a while, things start to fill themselves in and you’re just hitching a ride.

Planning this way also makes it easier to sort out the kinks in the plot and prevent plotholes; you have your universe’s rules set up from the get-go, and everything else is a result of them. It’s hard to break a rule when it’s your main guideline, and things tend to be a lot more consistent when they’re united under a set of guiding ideas.

Character File: Thirteen

Thirteen, as a reaper, had much more distance from the events than the other characters did. Though she did reside in the Devildom, her deep cave did shelter her from the effects that ravaged the rest of the realm. However, Thirteen had to get involved when the Armageddon interfered with her job. She took notice that her candles were burning out at an alarming rate, across all three races in all three realms. She was absolutely dumbfounded- she was an experienced reaper, she couldn’t have messed something up this badly; what was going on?

Given her hermit lifestyle, there were few people she could go to about the situation. Her older sister Candy was out of the question. As the situation grew more and more troubling, Thirteen eventually had no choice but to go to Solomon. She confronted him angrily, wanting to believe he’d just pulled some prank as part of their rivalry, only to find Solomon disheveled and disturbed.

After exchanging their knowledge of the situation, the two of them formed a begrudging alliance. Thirteen still very much held her grudge on Solomon, and she had no real emotional attachment to the wellbeing of the realms, but she understood that as a reaper she could not allow the situation to continue. Life and death was her domain, and it was her job to keep them in balance. A reaper could not be a reaper in a world with nothing left to die. As such, she fought fervently to end the war, Solomon at her side.

Within their duo, Thirteen was much more of the front-line fighter. As Solomon researched and attempted to form political allegiances, Thirteen focused on battle. She fought against the armies of Father and the Demon King, as well as rogue human looters. Due to her more rough-and-tumble approach, she needed clothing much more suited to battle. Her exposed midriff was a strong disadvantage in battle; even a reaper wasn’t immune to physical attack. Her crop top was replaced with a full-length plated breastplate made of unknown material that was off-white in color, looking like bone. In the middle of the chest was a black skull shape. Thirteen also donned a dark mauve-purple cloak, made of thick fabric to defend from attacks. The inside of the cloak was lined with rows of pockets for storing her various traps. Though she very much still relied on her traps, she also took up a melee weapon, a large black scythe. Later in the war, an incident would happen that left her missing her left eye. After this, she also wore a black eyepatch.

Helldown Day and the Canon Power Balance

So, a large part of this AU has to do with the power balance of the realms being severely disrupted and altered. My canon basis for the fragility of the magic balance was originally the Ring in season two, but I just remembered that Helldown Day exists. Helldown Day is a far better example, in my opinion. While The Ring showed how the power of the realms in general can go horribly awry, Helldown Day shows explicitly that the magic of each realm must be regulated.

If Helldown Day is needed to protect the three realms in canon, then imagine how horribly awry the magic would go not only if Helldown Day were abolished, but the realm’s magic was intentionally bolstered each and every day?

I find it very interesting to think about the implications of Helldown Day in the context of this AU.
