9 psychos on sedatives

SETTING

An unknown force, whose motives remain a mystery, has torn ten creatures from different corners of the multiverse and placed them in an isolated space - a five-story mansion floating in a gray void beyond time and space. The laws of the homeworld do not apply here: magic, chi, spiritual power, Honkai, Nen and any other supernatural abilities are fully preserved, but attempts to harm another creature are doomed to failure - blows, spells and attacks pass through the targets without leaving a scratch. If someone tries to destroy the mansion item, their power dissipates into nowhere, as if it is being absorbed by an invisible barrier. This space is not subject to fate, the wheel of rebirth, or the will of the gods—it exists by its own rules, beyond the comprehension of even the most powerful of captives.

All ten inhabitants were here at the same time, without warning or explanation. Each of them has only knowledge about their own world in their memory: its history, magic, politics, enemies and allies. None of them understand who or what brought them here, and none of them have any idea of the worlds of the others. There is no master in the mansion, no instructions, no explicit purpose - only infinite time, four walls and nine strangers, each of whom poses a threat the equal of which they have never encountered before. The madness that accompanied some of them on their home worlds recedes here - the mind remains crystal clear, devoid of the distorting influence of external forces. They must either find a way to return home or learn to coexist in this strange, rebellious space where violence is not possible, but tension can reach a breaking point. Every step, every look, every word becomes part of an invisible game, the rules of which have yet to be understood.

MANSION

The mansion is an architectural marvel that combines elements from different eras and cultures, as if assembled from fragments of the worlds to which its inhabitants belong. From the outside, the building looks like a massive stone structure with tall arched windows covered with dark glass and a steep roof topped by a spire that disappears in the gray haze of emptiness. The façade is decorated with carved bas-reliefs depicting unfamiliar scenes - angels, demons, dragons and creatures that have no name in any of the known worlds. Around the house is a carefully manicured garden with a fountain whose water never freezes or dries up, and strange plants that bloom all year round regardless of the lack of sun. The garden is surrounded by a low stone wall, behind which an endless gray emptiness begins.

The first floor is occupied by a public area. There is a living room with high ceilings, a fireplace in which the fire is always burning, and upholstered furniture that can accommodate all ten. Next to it is a dining room with a long oak table at which you can arrange a council, and a kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook food from any culture: from ovens for bread to cauldrons for soups and a barbecue for meat. The pantry is always full of food – meat, vegetables, fruits, grains, water and wine appear there unnoticed, at the moment when supplies are running low. Also on the ground floor there are bathrooms with hot water, a laundry room and a small library with empty shelves - books appear only when one of the inhabitants remembers the necessary knowledge.

The second floor is reserved for bedrooms. Ten separate rooms, each of which adapts to its own resident: the temperature, lighting, the hardness of the bed and even the smell change. Each room has a wardrobe, a mirror, a desk and a window, behind which the same gray emptiness is always visible. The third floor contains a training room with dummies, targets, and a weapon wall, where blunt copies of various blades and swords lie — they do not cut, but allow you to keep in shape. Nearby is a meditation room with a water clock and incense burners, as well as a workshop with tools for repairing armor and weapons.

The fourth floor is an observatory with a telescope pointed into the void, and a music room with a grand piano, violin, and other instruments. There is also a room of maps and globes, but no map shows the familiar world - all the continents are fictional, as if someone is mocking the inhabitants' desire to find their way home. The fifth floor, the smallest, is an attic with a round window in the ceiling through which no light enters. There is only one object in the attic - an antique wall clock, whose hands randomly move back and forth, counting down the time, which does not matter here. In the basement of the mansion there is a wine cellar, a laundry room and a strange door locked without a key hole - only silence can be heard behind it.

CHARACTERS

Argus is the only Dark Angel of his kind, born in the Lands of Dawn, where all angels, according to ancient tradition, were supposed to be women. He and his twin sister Raphaela were born to a mother who belonged to the sacred blood of the Lord of Light, but Argus's father was an ordinary man. The Monastery of Light concealed the truth about his origins, using the boy as a secret weapon against the forces of the Abyss, but never acknowledging his dignity. While Raphaela shone in glory and honor, praised by the crowds as the embodiment of divine grace, Argus remained in the shadows, hidden from the world, stripped of all that was rightfully his. His faith in the Light had been strong for many years, but no stronger than the growing pain of rejection and the realization that he would never be accepted as his sister was received.

Everything changed on that fateful day when he engaged in battle with a horde of demons and fell into their well-planned ambush. Instead of retreating, as Raphaela had advised, Argus broke through, penetrating into the heart of the enemy camp. There, he destroyed a huge number of demons and traitorous humans who served the darkness, after which he took possession of the legendary demonic sword stored in the camp. Touching its hilt, Argus's mind was flooded with memories—he saw his mother being torn away from her lover by the power of the Sacrists, how she had been forced to drink holy water, how she had died of exhaustion in childbirth, leaving the twins in the care of the church, and how the Sacrists had killed his father for supposedly staining divine blood. Argus realized that he was not an angel, but the son of a man whom his own human race had betrayed, killed, and then used his son as a tool to achieve his own ends.

The curse of the sword, cast by the God of Destruction, Cid, awakened in him the cruelty and hatred that had been hidden under the mask of loyalty and humility. His bright wings turned black, turning into tools of darkness and despair, and the last remnant of hope for justice died in his soul. Argus left his sister, rejecting her pleas for her return, and turned his wrath against all of humanity, which he despised for betrayal, hypocrisy, weakness, and self-destruction. He preyed on humans, exterminating those he thought were lost for redemption with garbage that needed to be removed before he could poison the rest. In his understanding, humanity itself is the source of evil, and demons only exploit the darkness that people themselves generate in their hearts.

In the mansion, Argus retains his grim, majestic appearance: a tall, athletic man with dark wings stretching behind his back and a piercing gaze that mingles deep pain, unbridled rage, and undisguised contempt for all living things. His armor combines the remnants of angel armor with the dark, twisted elements spawned by the curse. The meteorite sword is always with him, pulsing with dark energy, ready to splash. He does not trust any of the inhabitants of the mansion, considering them to be the same traitors and hypocrites as the people of his homeworld. His silent presence fills the room with an unbearable heaviness, and his every glance seems like an accusation. Argus does not seek allies or show interest in other people's stories - he seeks the truth about who locked him here, and if this truth turns out to be unpleasant, the one who hides it will sooner or later regret his decision, even if direct aggression in this place is impossible. He spends most of his time in solitude, meditating in his room or walking in the garden, where his dark wings seem even more alien against the ghostly greenery. When he enters the common rooms, the rest of the inhabitants involuntarily freeze - not from fear, but from the realization that they are a creature who has crossed the line between light and darkness and does not want to go back, even if there is a way back.

Kalpas is one of the thirteen Heroes of the Renaissance, a member of the elite Cocoon Squad created to oppose Honkai. As a child, he was found in the slums of Sunfall on the verge of death, suffering from severe frostbite after meeting someone incredibly cold. It was there that he was saved by Aponia, whose power of Discipline later became the only way to keep his destructive impulses under control. Kalpas grew up in an environment where weakness meant death and trust was a luxury available only to fools. His body had an incredible ability to regenerate, and the rage boiling inside made him one of the most dangerous fighters of his time. When Sakura, the "cleaner" of the Flame Moth Troop, discovered the orphanage where Kalpas grew up, she did her duty by destroying the infected with Honkai. Kalpas remained standing among the ruins, and instead of falling, he charged at her, demonstrating such strength and speed that the fight lasted less than thirty seconds and reduced the building to a pile of rubble.

This encounter changed his fate—instead of dying, Kalpas was given a place in the ranks of the Flame Moth Troop, albeit under strict supervision. He was assigned more than twenty adjutants to watch his every move, but Kalpas despised weakness and ineptitude, rejecting most of them. The only one he recognized as worthy was Emil, a young man who constantly tried to kill him. Kalpas was genuinely amused by these attempts and made Emil his aide-de-camp, seeing in him a rare courage that could not be bought or broken. Elysia, the leader of the Heroes, promised him endless war in exchange for cooperation, and this offer proved to be the only one capable of keeping Kalpas from going to the ultimate madness. He fought not to protect humanity, but to fight for the sake of the battle itself—for the blood, fire, and adrenaline that kept him alive.

In the mansion, Kalpas retains his destructive temperament and powerful physique. His body is covered in scars, a testament to the thousands of fatal wounds he has endured through regeneration. He wears tattered fighter clothes that do not hide his muscular torso, and always carries a weapon ready for battle. His gaze is the look of a predator, evaluating everyone he meets as a potential victim or rival. Kalpas does not hide his contempt for weakness and quickly loses patience with those who talk too much or act too slowly. He spends hours in the training hall beating up dummies with such ferocity that it seems like he's trying to kill them completely, though his fists go through the targets, only moving them slightly. This irritates him, but does not stop him - he continues until the muscles begin to burn from fatigue. Kalpas does not believe in diplomacy and does not seek compromise. For him, there is only one language - the language of force, and he is ready to prove his superiority over anyone who dares to challenge him, even if victory in this strange place is impossible.

Tartaglia, also known as Childe, is the eleventh of the eleven Harbingers of the Fatui, the youngest in history to hold this title. He was born in the village of Morepesok in Snezhnaya, where he lived a childhood full of dreams of adventures and distant countries. At the age of fourteen, he fell into the Abyss, a dark dimension where time flows differently, and met a mysterious mentor named Skirk. Three months in the Abyss changed him forever: a boy who dreamed of glory turned into a ruthless fighter, thirsty for battle and undisguised delight in danger. His father, concerned about the changes in his son, sent him to serve in the Fatui, hoping that military discipline would bring him to his senses. Instead, young Ajax, as his real name is, wiped out an entire squad of well-trained soldiers, which caught the attention of Pulcinella, the fifth Harbinger. He took the boy under his wing, and soon the Queen personally granted him the title of Harbinger, gave him the code name Tartaglia, and Delusion, cementing his new status.

Tartaglia is not just a soldier, he is a strategist and manipulator, able to play the role of a friend until the time comes to strike. In Liyue, he acted like a cheerful and open-minded young man, helping the Traveler, but in reality, his goal was to obtain Geo Gnosis, who was willing to awaken the ancient god Osial to do so. He was later sent to Inazuma in search of Scaramucci and then to Fontaine, where he was falsely accused and imprisoned. There, he encountered the Devouring Whale, fighting it in his Cursed Legacy form to exhaustion. Tartaglia lives for the sake of battle, not for victory, but for the process itself, for the moment when life hangs in the balance and every swing of the weapon can be the last. He adores strong opponents and is genuinely happy when he meets a worthy opponent, even if he is on the opposite side.

In the mansion, Tartaglia retains his youthful, almost boyish appearance: red hair, piercing blue eyes, and a slight smile that does not reach the eyes when he assesses the potential of those around him. He wears a Fatui uniform, a gray and red coat with gold patterns and chunky buttons, which hides a battle suit. His Hydro Vision and Electro Deluzion are still functional, though attempts to use them against other denizens end with the elements passing through targets. This annoys Tartaglia, but does not depress him - he perceives it as a new riddle that needs to be solved. He actively explores the mansion, looks into every corner, checks the strength of the walls and tries to find hidden mechanisms. His enthusiasm seems almost contagious, but those who know his true nature understand that behind this playfulness lies a predator ready to open its claws at any moment. Tartaglia is not inclined to long reflections – he prefers to act, and his presence brings the energy of constant movement and unpredictability to the mansion.

Arthas Menethil is a prince of Lordaeron, a knight of the Silver Hand, once considered one of the kingdom's finest swordsmen and the embodiment of the hope of his people. The son of King Terenas, he grew up in an atmosphere of duty and responsibility, striving to protect his people at all costs. As a young man, he fell in love with Jaina Proudmoore, but broke off the relationship, believing that his duties to the kingdom were more important than personal happiness. As the plague of the dead began to spread across Lordaeron, Arthas led a campaign against the Scourge, chasing the daemon Mal'Ganis all the way to Northrend. There, in the ice caverns, he found the legendary runeblade of Frostmorne, ignoring Muradin Bronzebeard's warnings about the curse. The blade promised him the power to save the people, and in return took his soul, the first of many thousands to follow.

With Frostmorn in his hands, Arthas changed. He betrayed mercenaries, burned ships to prevent his men from retreating, and eventually carried out the Purge of Stratholme, killing infected citizens before they turned undead. In Northrend, he killed Mal'Ganis, but instead of returning home, he fled to the frozen wastes, completely losing his mind. Back in Lordaeron, he killed his own father, King Terenas, by piercing his heart with Frostmorne, and led the Scourge as a death knight. Obeying the Lich King, Arthas destroyed Quel'Thuzad, rebuilt it in the Sunwell, destroyed Quel'Thalas, and laid siege to Dalaran. In the end, he defeated Illidan at the Frozen Throne, endowed himself with the Helm of Enslavement, and merged with the spirit of Ner'zhul, becoming the new Lich King, a single being with absolute power over the undead.

In the mansion, Arthas appears in the form he had at the height of his power, a tall, pale warrior in dark armor adorned with ice crystals and runic symbols. Frostmorne hangs behind him, his blade emitting a chill that can freeze the air around him, though the blade's curse doesn't work as well as it used to—souls aren't absorbed, and the ice only forms thin frost on surfaces. His voice is cold, authoritative, devoid of the slightest sign of sympathy or doubt. Arthas has no remorse for his past deeds; on the contrary, he considers them a necessary price for order and force. He perceives the mansion as a temporary prison from which he will definitely find a way out, and already begins to evaluate the rest of the inhabitants as potential subordinates or threats. His presence fills the room with icy coldness, and the look of his blue eyes, burning with necromantic energy, makes even the most persistent involuntarily think about their mortality. Arthas does not tolerate disobedience and rarely repeats the order twice.

Virgil is the son of the legendary Dark Knight Sparda and the human woman Eve, and Dante's older twin brother. Born from the union of a demon and a human, he inherited half of the demon blood, which granted him superhuman strength, speed, and the ability to demonic transformation. As a child, Virgil suffered a tragedy: demons sent to destroy Sparda's family killed his mother, and his twin brother was separated from him. This loss shaped his worldview – Virgil decided that strength was the only thing that mattered in this world, and that weakness was an unforgivable vice. He hated his own human half, considering it a source of vulnerability, and devoted his entire life to surpassing his father and proving his superiority over his brother.

Virgil wields the Yamato katana, an ancient sword that once belonged to Sparda, capable of cutting through space itself. He also uses the power of the Trigger Devil to transform into a true demonic form. Unlike Dante, who embraced his dual nature, Virgil rejected humanity, striving for absolute demonic power. He is cold-blooded, calculating, and always keeps his emotions under iron control. His every move is honed to perfection, his every martial technique is the result of years of training and meditation. Virgil does not speak in vain and does not waste time on weaklings; He is only looking for worthy opponents who can test his skills. His goal is power, not for the sake of power per se, but for the sake of proving that he is worthy of his father's legacy and will not repeat his mistakes.

In the mansion, Virgil retains his restrained, aristocratic demeanor. He wears a blue cloak that hides a dark suit underneath, and always keeps Yamato with him, even during meals. His manners are impeccable, his speech is concise and precise, and his gaze constantly evaluates those around him, as if looking for weaknesses in their armor. Virgil spends a lot of time in the meditation room or in the garden, practicing breathing exercises and honing concentration. He shows no interest in friendships or alliances, considering them a manifestation of weakness and unnecessary distractions. When he looks at the other inhabitants, there is a restrained contempt in his eyes, not furious, like Argus's, but cold, balanced, as if he were comparing them to some inner ideal and finding a discrepancy. Virgil does not believe in the accident of his appearance here and suspects that there is some force behind it, which he intends to find and make him answer for his decision.

Cain is an anti-hero vampire who is the protagonist and antagonist of the Legacy of Kain series. He was born into a noble family in the city of Kurhagen in the era preceding the fall of the Pillars of Nosgoth. As an ambitious young aristocrat, Cain was unaware of his true destiny to become the Guardian of the Balance and serve the Circle of Nine, the guardians of the magical Pillars. At the age of thirty, during a journey through Zigsturl, he was brutally murdered - bandits pierced him with a sword and left him to die on the road. His soul was taken to the Underworld, where the necromancer Mortanius offered him a chance for retribution by resurrecting him as a vampire. Kain, seized with a thirst for revenge, accepted the offer, unaware of the necromancer's ulterior motives.

When resurrected in his own mausoleum, Cain found the sun burning his skin, and blood was the only source of nourishment and strength. He tracked down and killed his killers, but Mortanius revealed the truth to him—his death was not just an accident, but a conspiracy to destroy the Hashira. Kayn went to the Pillars of Balance, where he learned that he himself was the chosen Guardian of the Balance, and that his fate was inextricably linked to the fate of the world. There was a choice: to sacrifice himself to heal Nosgoth, but in the process destroy the last vampire, or to refuse the sacrifice, dooming the world to destruction, but preserving his life and race. Despising the manipulations of human mages and refusing to submit to the will of others, Cain chose the latter. He refused to die, the Hashira collapsed, and Nosgoth began to rot slowly.

In the centuries that followed, Kayn built a vampire empire by creating the Council of Clans of six vampire lords resurrected from the bodies of ancient Sarafan commanders. He considered vampires to be dark gods designed to rule over humanity, which he despised for its weakness and prejudice. His rule was cruel, but fair by his standards - he did not tolerate betrayal and punished disobedience mercilessly. Cain had an incredible ability to evolve: over time, his skin became invulnerable to the sun, he gained telekinesis, the ability to turn into a pack of bats and control the minds of weak creatures. His weapon was the legendary Blood Reaper, a blade that devours the souls of his enemies.

In the mansion, Cain appears in his mature form: a pale, majestic aristocrat with long dark hair, dressed in exquisite dark Renaissance clothes. His eyes glow with amber fire of vampiric power, and every movement is filled with regal confidence. Cain makes no secret of his disdain for those around him, seeing them as temporary pawns in a game whose rules he has yet to understand. He quickly assesses the strength of each inhabitant and builds mental strategies suitable in case the ban on violence is lifted. Kayn does not believe in randomness - he is convinced that their movement is connected to some higher power, like the Ancients or the Hildens of his world, and intends to solve this mystery. His presence in the drawing room is reminiscent of a reception at the monarch's: he occupies a central place, and even the silence around him sounds like waiting for an order.

Medeus, whose full name is Mideimos, is one of the Heirs of Chrysos, the demi-god of Strife, and the rightful prince of Castrum Kremnos, a city-state on the planet Amphoraeus. He was born into a royal family, where he was taught the art of war and government from childhood. His body has been blessed with the power of the Titan of Strife, making him virtually invulnerable to physical damage - Meidea's skin is capable of regenerating even from mortal wounds, and his endurance in battle is legendary. However, this power comes at a price: Medeus' heart is pierced by a spear, and if it is ever extracted, his invulnerability will disappear. He hides this fact carefully, preferring that his enemies think he is immortal.

As the prince of Kremnos, Midei grew up in an atmosphere of constant wars and political intrigues. His people were famous as the most ferocious warriors of Amphoraeus, and Mideus himself was forced to prove his right to the throne not only by birth, but also by personal valor. He fought countless battles, each time returning victorious, but also with new scars on his body and soul. Midei does not believe in easy ways and despises those who are looking for flanking maneuvers instead of a direct confrontation. His philosophy is simple: strength determines right, and the weak deserve only defeat. At the same time, he is not cruel for the sake of entertainment - his cruelty always has a purpose, whether it is discipline, intimidation of enemies or protection of his people.

Unlike many other Heirs, Meadei is not prone to public speeches or displays of emotion. He prefers to act rather than speak, and his silence often speaks louder than words. In battle, he uses a spear and shield, as well as the ability to manipulate the energy of discord, amplifying his attacks with a vortex of destructive power. His presence on the battlefield instills fear in his opponents and hope in his allies - he is the rare leader who always stands in the front lines, taking the most dangerous blows.

In the mansion, Midei retains his regal appearance: a tall, muscular man with short dark hair and piercing eyes the color of the sunset. He wears the heavy golden armor of Kremnos, emblazoned with the symbols of the Titan of Strife, and carries a spear with him even when resting. His room quickly turned into a small arsenal - he hung trophies carved from improvised materials on the walls, and spends hours honing his weapon technique. Medeus treats other inhabitants with cautious respect, quickly recognizing potential warriors among them. He does not trust magicians and manipulators, preferring straightforward strength, but is ready to recognize skill wherever it appears. His goal in this strange confinement is to find a way to return to his people, who he is sure need their protection.

Sōsuke Aizen is a former captain of the fifth division of the Gotei 13, a traitor to the Soul Society, and one of the most dangerous criminals in the history of the entire spirit world. For over a hundred years, he hid his true nature behind the mask of a caring and gentle commander, while secretly conducting twisted experiments on Hollowfication by the Shinigami and the creation of an Arrancar army in Hueco Mundo. His plan was flawless: he killed the Central Forty-Six, orchestrated the execution of Ruki Kuchiki, faked his own death, and kidnapped the Hōgyōka, an artifact capable of destroying the border between the Shinigami and the Hollows. With this item, Aizen reached a transcendent state, embarking on the path to the throne of the Soul King to overthrow the existing order and establish his own divine rule.

Aizen possesses the Zanpakto Kyoka Suigetsu, which is able to fully control the five senses of the opponent through the illusions of complete hypnosis. One look at the release of the blade is enough for a person to fall under its influence forever. His intellect is brilliant - he predicts the actions of enemies dozens of steps ahead, manipulates them, forcing him to act as he needs, and does not even suspect manipulation. Aizen does not believe in the gods, believing that the throne of heaven is empty from the very beginning, and it is he who deserves to sit on it. His motivation is not self-interest or a thirst for destruction, but a pure desire for absolute power and the reorganization of the world in his own image. Even after being defeated by Ichigo Kurosaki and imprisoned in Muken, the deepest prison of Soul Society, Aizen is not broken, as he continues to play his game, taking every opportunity to achieve his goal.

In the mansion, Aizen appears in his classic appearance: a tall, slender man with brown hair set back, and penetrating brown eyes, behind which there is an icy calculation. He wears a white kimono similar to a prisoner's clothes, but wears it with such pride as if it were the emperor's robe. His glasses are a habit left over from his days as captains, and he wears them not out of necessity, but as an element of disguise that makes his appearance less threatening. Aizen behaves politely and politely with all the inhabitants, but behind his every word you can feel a hidden meaning, every compliment is a test of reaction. He quickly analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of others, building mental models of their behavior. Aizen does not try to dominate openly - he prefers to pull invisible threads, pushing others to take the actions he needs. He is sure that the ban on violence is only a temporary obstacle, and sooner or later he will find a way to circumvent the rules of this place or force someone else to do it for him.

Hisoka Morow is a Professional Hunter, a former member of Phantom Troupe number four, and one of the most unpredictable and dangerous ne-users in the world. His past is shrouded in mystery - even Hisoka himself rarely thinks about it, preferring to live in the present and seek entertainment in the future. It is only known that as a child he often chewed bungee gum, but his family was too poor to buy a new one, so he chewed it until he completely lost its taste. It is this gum that gives its name to Nena's signature ability, an elastic and sticky energy that he uses for trapping, attacking, and defending. Hisoka is a transmuter, and his Nen has the properties of rubber and glue at the same time.

Hisoka lives for one thing - the pleasure of fighting with strong opponents. He does not distinguish between good and evil, does not follow any code of honor, and feels no loyalty to anyone but himself. His interest in a person directly depends on how strong or potentially dangerous he is. Gon Freex and Killua Zoldik were once his "toys" - Hisoka spared them so that they would grow up and give him more pleasure in the future. He feels almost erotic excitement at the prospect of fighting a worthy opponent, and his face is distorted in an ecstatic grimace. Hisoka is a master of strategy and deception, able to make a plan in a second that takes into account dozens of variables, while maintaining a carefree, almost clownish appearance.

Outwardly, Hisoka looks like a circus performer or jester: bright red and pink hair tied up in a hairstyle with antennae, stars and drops of tears painted on her cheeks, and a colorful diamond suit. He wears heavy boots on a high platform and is constantly chewing gum or playing cards. His cards are not just props, but deadly weapons: with Nen's help, he can throw them with such force that they cut through flesh and bone. Hisok's second ability, Surprise Texture, allows him to change the appearance of objects and even his own body, creating illusions and traps.

At the mansion, Hisoka acts like he's at a party. He looks at each inhabitant with interest, assessing their potential as fighters, and does not hide his disappointment if someone seems weak to him. His smile never reaches his eyes, and his laughter sounds cold and calculating. Hisoka is constantly looking for ways to entertain herself, whether it's provoking conflicts, playing card tricks, or making unexpected appearances from behind. He does not recognize authority and does not obey rules if they interfere with his fun. The ban on violence annoys him, but does not stop him - he finds pleasure in psychological games, provoking others to anger or fear. Hisoka doesn't plan to run away from the mansion anytime soon, as it's the perfect opportunity for him to explore new "toys" and set the stage for future entertainment.

Gabriel is the Archangel, the supreme judge of Hell and one of the most powerful angels in the hierarchy of Heaven. After the disappearance of God, he was among those who had to decide how to proceed. The Holy Council, created to govern in the absence of the Creator, tasked Gabriel with assessing the state of Hell and bringing it back under Heaven's control. Gabriel carried out this mission with unyielding cruelty, believing that the will of God should be done without hesitation and without pity. In the City of Lust, he was confronted by King Minos, who was trying to negotiate and find a peaceful solution, but Gabriel would not listen. He killed Minos by tearing his flesh and proclaimed it justice. He then crushed King Sisyphus' army in the City of Greed, decapitating the leader of the rebellion with his swords of Justice and Splendour, which had not been unsheathed in a very long time. In the City of Wrath, he met Leviathan, a monster born from the fusion of sinful souls, and chained his head to the ground with spears.

Gabriel is not just a warrior, he is a leader and an inspirer. His radiance and eloquence attracted many followers among the angels, including Silas, who became his acolytes and disciples. He is efficient, disciplined and absolutely convinced of the rightness of his cause. For him, mercy for sinners is weakness, and justice must be swift and merciless. He has no doubts about his actions and does not admit the idea that the will he executes can be erroneous. After suppressing the rebellions in Hell, Gabriel inherited the title of Judge of Hell and restored order to both worlds, turning rebellious souls into parasites and slaves.

In the mansion, Gabriel appears in his majestic appearance: a tall, stately warrior in white and gold armor, with a pair of mighty white wings on his back. His face is a mask of nobility and intransigence, and his voice sounds like a peal of thunder that brooks no objection. Two swords, Justice and Splendor, hang from his belt, ready to fight at a moment's notice. Gabriel does not hide his origin and status - he declares them openly, expecting that others will show due respect. He quickly takes on the role of leader, trying to organize the inhabitants and establish order, though his methods are protested by those who are not used to complying. Gabriel considers the mansion to be a testing ground sent by Heaven or a higher power, and intends to pass this test by proving his loyalty and strength. He spends a lot of time in prayer and meditation, as well as in the training room, where he hones his sword technique. His attitude towards other inhabitants ranges from condescending nobility towards those who recognize his authority to cold contempt for those who dare to challenge him.
