Welcome to textwall/rambling central! PREPARE YOURSELF
~General Headcanons~
This is a continually-growing list. It may include some canon elements.
Pansexual and panromantic with a male lean. Love should have no labels!
He/him but doesn't mind if someone calls him they/them.
Asmo is a successful collaborator with the major fashion label and department store Majolish, with multiple clothing and beauty product lines.
A major Sinfluencer on Devilgram, Asmo uses Devilbird (twitter) as his time away from general marketing and selfies.
Favorite scents: Rose, jasmine, cinnamon.
In addition to romcom movies, Asmo adores raunchy romance books~! The problem is, he gets distracted easily by DDD notifications, his skincare routine, or the 'urge'. Therefore he prefers audio books, or might occasionally ask Satan to read to him, since he CAN'T find it in himself to sit still otherwise.
Asmo draws! Fashion designs for his clothing lines at Majolish take top priority, but he'll occasionally draw someone else. He does not draw still objects--unless it's a person.
He HATES drawing himself. He just won't do it. His face is too beautiful and he REFUSES to let something else capture its glory apart from a DDD photo. He doesn't want unflattering sketches of himself to exist--apart from that one oil painting of himself he gifted to Solomon centuries ago.
Is very catlike in general. He preens himself, is very independent and fickle, often sneaks out at night, is always making friends while enjoying his alone time too, and when he is in the mood, does not know the meaning of personal space.
As airheaded and happy-go-lucky as he might seem, Asmo is more observant than he often gets credit for. After all, he sees even the most minute little tone differences in his own skin, what's to stop him from seeing it in anyone else~?
The scorpion accessory in his Demon Form is sentient, and it is the closest thing Asmo has to a pet. He calls it Glimmer.
Has a major crush on Lucifer (whether you want it to be romantic or platonic is up to you, but it's basically canon).
Has a love-hate relationship with animals in general. They're so cute, but the FUR!! It gets EVERYWHERE and takes forever to get out of clothes and sheets!!
Bugs are EW.
A coffee addict~! Even though he tries SO hard not to be, too much caffeine can be bad for your complexion!! He expects QUALITY in his coffee though, and he's been asking Satan to teach him how to make a great cup of coffee. Asmo likes his coffee with a dash of milk, with two cubes of sugar.
Asmo's triggers (not mun's): Self harm (the idea of marring outward beauty is terrifying to him), being compared to Simeon.
Try not to talk to him about his Father, especially if you're an MC that he doesn't know very well. It's a very touchy subject.

Asmo is the highest-ranking incubus/succubus. He feeds off his partner's sexual energy.
Because of this, much of the sexual experience leans towards Asmo pleasing his partners.
Because of this, he is open to most kinks. Please let admin know ooc when asked so I can mentally prepare lol
Asmo is a universal switch, ready to suit whatever his partner likes. Mun tends to habitually default to dom if given a choice.
Asmo is actually horny 24/7, there are no heat cycles with him. It's just a question of how good his control is in any given moment.
Aftercare is king!!!! Expect fluff and sensuality in cleanup as well.
The vines on his bed are enchanted... but only if you ask about them ;)
Long tongue... his demon form is inspired by a bat.
Loves to supplement with aphrodisiacs (beware the candles...) and finish with cooling/healing salves.
He will outlast your stamina. But he's very considerate, and will stop when you do.
Asmo believes that the first sexual experience is sacred. If your character is a virgin/it is their first time, he will default to vanilla and will be slow until you beg him otherwise.
While Asmo can be very sweet in bed and post-romp, please do not confuse this with feelings. As the Avatar of Lust, it is rather easy to get in bed with him, but work needs to be put in to move towards a ship.
Absolutely yes
Body worship
Praise kink
Toys
Ropes and shibari
BDSM
Voyeurism
Using his charm!
Having a full length mirror nearby.
Asmo loves when his partners react: cry out, shudder, say his name--however you want to show (not tell) him that you're affected by him, he loves it.
Edging/teasing/denial
lingerie
Call him Master. He'll never outright admit it but he's totally into it.
turnoffs/hard no
Bathroom substances (scat, watersports)
Inflation/expansion
Pregnancy (sorry kids, no little Asmos)
Marking Asmo's face!!!!! (mild bruising is fine, but no scars)
Asmo receiving severe hickeys that scar!! Or just scars in general!! The secret word is perfection. He will be VERY ANGRY especially if they are in highly visible places. (the exceptions are from biased canon character ships [see ships tab], Asmo will wear their scars proudly.)
The title "Daddy". Asmo might technically like it, but it makes mun uncomfy.
Degradation/humiliation in public. Asmo cares very much about his image.
While there are some rare exceptions, Asmo does not like cock cages and chastity belts, especially ones put on him without permission. While he does overreact just a little, he terror of being restricted is real. Imagine if Beel was cursed so that he couldn't eat. It would lead to a rampage. With Asmo it is no different... and he hates the idea of others seeing him so unrefined.
~Deeper Headcanons~
Please note that the following headcanons will probably be limited to wips and ships only. These headcanons are extremely personal to my Asmo and if you bring them up without a relationship and prior ooc warning, he may become defensive and angry towards you. Please DM admin ooc if you are interested in starting a ship with Asmo to explore these headcanons in RP.
Be advised that there are some canon spoilers. Read at your own risk.
ALSO. WARNING FOR LOTS OF READING AND LOTS OF ANGST.
~SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR SELF-HATE~
I just want people to love me.
Paradise Lost
In perpetual daylight, and in a delightful nature of order and cleanliness, Asmodeus was always surrounded by people who complimented him for his radiance. And as an angel, his other characteristics only complemented his beauty. His effervescent demeanor, his natural charisma, and his happy-go-lucky, positive attitude only made him even more popular. So popular that even the great Lucifer noticed him, and further placed Asmodeus in the spotlight with his public praise and favor of him. The Jewel of the Heavens was the most beautiful being in existence, perhaps apart from God Himself. Ego was birthed not from self-important vanity, but because being praised was normal. It was his truth, and it was all he knew. Everyone loved him, and that was the way things were always meant to be.
His status as a mid-rank Dominion angel allowed him to travel back and forth from the Celestial Realm to the Human Realm often, and oversee many lower-ranking angels' tasks and oversee the human realm. It was here where he became interested in humans, going to parties especially. But when he chanced upon a troubled Lilith, and she confided in him, Asmo gave her the only encouragement that felt right: "An angel's love is the greatest gift you have. Like any sort of beauty, it deserves to be shared with whoever you like."
Tensions between Lucifer and their Father had already been brewing, but Lilith's sentence was what solidified Asmo's loyalty to Lucifer and the Rebellion. If Love was truly the greatest of all, why did rules have to supersede it?!
The rest was history.
Gone was all the beauty and light. Gone was the cleanliness, the structured order.
Gone was the praise and adoration.
Suddenly, Asmodeus was lost in a dark, chaotic, hideous place that he would know later as the Devildom. Surrounded by demons--lesser beings that hated angels, and therefore, hated him. And his brothers were understandably all too busy with their own wounds to give him the adoration that he was so used to.
And that wasn't all. Asmodeus himself was no longer an angel. He was a demon, he was less than the glory of what he once had been.
He still cannot forget that day. It haunts him in his sleep.
Lilith was dead (or so he thought). All because he had encouraged her to follow her heart. Belphegor, who had been Asmodeus' close friend, was shattered, as were they all. Asmo could no longer face him. Never again. He allowed their friendship to drift apart, for these newfound, conflicting sins of Lust and Sloth to build the distance between them.
Every so often, Asmo will find a small light in this bleak place. It may be something as simple as a notebook, a stuffed animal, a piece of clothing, a particular sweet treat, or some other little trinket. Something cute, and clean, and beautiful. It reminds him of what used to be, what he used to have. And so he keeps it. He fills his space with all the cute and clean things, curling up among his possessions like a dragon among treasures, and basks in the nostalgic atmosphere he has created as his heart aches for the unconditional love he received so much of in the Celestial Realm.
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall
A mirror reflects my beautiful face...
He wants to see it. He can't unsee it. These are the conflicting thoughts that always run through his mind as he reaches yet again for another mirror. In his early days of the Devildom, Asmo would stare at the mirror, and even sometimes when he wasn't in his Demon Form, he would shatter it into a thousand pieces with an unholy screech. He hates it. Even with the same face, the same darling, adorable face--he cannot push aside the indisputable fact that he is not what he used to be.
What he is now is a demon.
Disgusting.
What hurts even more is his newfound power, his charm. As if his beauty was nowhere near enough to make anyone love him. He suddenly has the power to coerce them.
But that's not love.
Irritating even still, his newfound sin is such pretty little poison, and as the Avatar of Lust, he becomes skilled in coaxing it from others as well.
But that's not love, either.
As an angel, he gave love, to be showered bountifully in return. But now no longer, he gave love only to come up empty-hearted and unsatisfied.
Maybe... maybe they don't love him because they only see the demon in him? Everyone did love him as an angel, after all.
The bloom of hatred for his demonic features prompts the obsession to enhance his beauty. Skincare regimens, strict diets, makeup, clothes, jewelry, plastic surgery, the whole works.
Praise.
It feels... close. Not as lovely as the love of before, but it's close. And that's all he wants.
So that is his endless quest on which he so willingly embarks. The quest for beauty, the quest for praise, the quest for love. Asmodeus knows that love and praise are not the same, but years pass. Centuries. Millenia. The definitions of the two words blur together.
Now, he is beyond radiant. Now, he can adore himself in the mirror and be so enamored with his own perfection that he can forget, just for a moment, that he is a demon. Now he can pretend, just for a while, that when he turns away from the mirror, someone will tell him how adorable he is.
But even when they do, it doesn't fill that void.
Maybe if his confidence was just as it was back in the Celestial Realm, maybe his charisma would bring others to love him.
He uses all of his tools at his disposal now, all for that praise that just doesn't fill him the way he wants. The charm, the lust, the manipulation. The falsity of his sunny demeanor and brash confidence.
His heart aches. Sex, praise, love, it all muddles together until the words are used interchangeably. And yet, he still yearns, so much. He gives, and he takes, and even after so long, has ended up with nothing.
Through private tears, he presses on with time.
Maybe someday. Maybe just a little more.
You love me, just like everyone else, don't you?
Tell him yes, tell him you do.
Maybe one day, he will believe you.
Until then, he will share all the beauty he has, as imperfect that it may be.
A demon by any other name
TRIGGER WARNING: Blood, torture
This isn't me.
It's not.
There is a reason why Asmodeus almost never gets angry. He can be petty, he can throw objects and tantrums with the fickleness of his mood, but it is so very rare for the Avatar of Lust of become truly angry. Better for him to stuff his irritations away, or brush them aside with some other distraction, manipulate his way through it, or minimize the annoyance into something that has little effect on him. In fact, he is even willing to trust his brothers, his fans, literally anyone else to deal with it for him just so he doesn't have to deal with the emotional fallout himself.
Ugh, the STRESS, it's so bad for my skin.
is what he says.
What he doesn't tell you, and what he doesn't tell anyone, is that when he gets angry, really angry, all of his tools of pleasure become instruments of pain.
The whip strikes harder, the ropes are tighter, and the sultry intensity of his voice and gaze is so devilishly sweet that at a first glance, it might just look like the Avatar of Lust doing his normal thing.
Until you see the blood splattering the floor. Until you notice that the intensity of those poor screams are not in ecstasy but of sheer, unadulterated agony. Until the charm that he uses to intoxicate others becomes a pathway to reveal your deepest, darkest fears. Until you notice that instead of feeding on pleasure, he is most certainly feeding on pain with a relish that no one had ever seen before.
IT'S NOT ME!!!
It's as if he were in a trance, playing the role of tormentor with a single-minded focus. He loves it, he lives for it, he'll draw out every moment of pain and ache with every ounce of selfish desire. Hours, days, weeks...
Until the beast is satisfied and the trance is broken. Then Asmodeus has to look upon the horror before him with fresh eyes, already wanting to scream, or retch, or both.
Because of course, only a DEMON would do something as wretched as this.
No no no... It's not me... please...
I'm... so much better... than this...
Look away.
Look AWAY!!
...no... it's too risky, I can't... I can't let this get out.
I'm sorry, love... I'm sorry you h-had to see this...
I have to make sure
you forget about this.
Because I just--
I just want you to love me.
So just look into my eyes...

~Canon Character Headcanons~
These are headcanons that my Asmo is predisposed to when interacting with canon characters. These can change as an interaction goes on, but these are starting points for all these characters.
> LUCIFER:
Asmo has a HUGE crush on Lucifer (whether that is romantic or platonic is up to you, but sorry, this is basically canon. DG That Special Someone). He flirts with everyone, but will be especially flirty with Luci. Praise from Luci is more satisfying to Asmo more than from most people. Asmo is pretty enamored by him in general and often wants to spend time with him.
> MAMMON:
Asmo finds him annoying, and is always safeguarding his stuff, since Mammon tends to steal from him most often (at least, it feels like that sometimes). However, Mammon's a great party and shopping companion! He's happy to go on any outings together.
> LEVIATHAN:
While Asmo isn't terribly close to Levi, they tend to have complementary, mutually beneficial talents! Asmo asks Levi to help him with the sewing and design prototypes of his fashion line. Levi asks him to help with his nails (in general) or with his hair and makeup (for cosplays). It's a win-win!
> SATAN:
Out of all the brothers, Asmo is closest to Satan. They have a mutual respect for each others' abilities to gain lots of contacts in their own ways, and often trade gossip, or debate. While Satan was younger and still learning how to be himself, Asmo was the only brother who gave him proper affection (not to mention, Asmo's cat-like personality might be appealing to Satan). In turn, Satan is the one who gives Asmo what he wants (attention and praise) most often, so Asmo gravitates to him. They both enjoy fine coffee together. Asmo will definitely flirt with him.
> ASMO-TWINS:
A dream come true!! Asmo LOVES interacting with his twins! No one understands him better! Praise each other, go shopping, do each others' makeup, trade skincare secrets... (the selfcest is big here, if you're interested...)
> BEELZEBUB:
Asmo doesn't really understand Beel. He's more drawn towards Beel's physique, but that can be blamed on his sin of lust. However, all the fanmade food and chocolates that Asmo receives on the holidays and in general? Well, guess who's really eating them?
> BELPHEGOR:
Like the rest of his brothers, Asmo adores how cute the youngest brother can be. He is always very sweet and cuddly with Belphie, reminiscent of their friendship during their Celestial Realm times. But If Belphie gets too close, well--Asmo starts drifting away, keeping him at arm's length. You'll have to interact more and maybe talk to mun to find out why.
> SOLOMON:
SolAsmo is the only canon ship in ObeyMe thus far. Asmo and Solomon have a special relationship that goes beyond their pact. Asmo is drawn to the fact that Solomon always knows how to surprise him and sweep him off his feet, and in turn, Asmo is always open to be Solomon's solace whenever he is needed. Interactions will definitely be flirty and romantic. Over the millennia, they have been present in each others' lives in a way that no one else can. And while Asmo does not believe love should have limits, he may be willing to place aside his promiscuity for Solomon, if the latter feels the same.
> SIMEON:
Asmo's views towards Simeon are... complicated, to say the least. He harbors no ill will towards the angel--Simeon has only been so good to him and to everyone! Asmo enjoys his presence but is a little touch-and-go regarding any consistent interaction. This is because while Asmo adores Simeon, Asmo is incredibly jealous of him, and sees Simeon as something of a rival. Not to mention, Simeon embodies many of Asmo's insecurities. Bother mun for more info.
> LUKE:
He's an adorable, yappy thing! Asmo doesn't deal with him much. But he's cute! Asmo can't help but wonder why the little guy is intimidated by him, though...
> DIAVOLO:
Asmo is pretty neutral regarding the Demon Prince. He knows that at times there is some method to the royal's chaos, but he hasn't quite figured it out yet. However, he is perfectly willing to do favors, whether that be public such as modeling for an event, or something more private. Depends on his mood, though.
> BARBATOS:
Asmo got to know Barbatos better through their mutual pact master, Solomon. They both appreciate flora and calming baths. Asmo admires how productive Barbatos can be while always looking so put-together.
