Hell / The Outside World

Hell / The world outside of Blackwell is very vast. Hell is broken up into 7 different 'rings' or regions.

When someone first dies, they are sent to a purgatory-like palace where they are sorted. There is a front desk where they check in with a staircase going up to the left and an elevator going down to the right. If they go to Heaven, they climb the stairs, but if they go to Hell, they are taken by two angel bodyguards (most sinners try to fight their way out of going to Hell; it usually ends with them being tackled to the ground by bodyguards or them being zapped with a taser) and put in the elevator.

After arriving at Hell, the sinner is sent to Hell's front gates, which are located at the front of the pride ring. At the front gates, they are sent to yet another front desk. At this front desk, the sinner must go through multiple procedures to make sure they actually belong in Hell, what ring they belong to, if they must attend a school, etc.

After being checked in, the sinner is sent to their ring. This is where they'll start off in Hell, but after they become used to their new home, they are welcome to travel as they please. The rings all have many different qualities, so it takes sinners some time to find the right place for them. To travel between rings, there are special elevators located around each of the rings. These elevators travel up and down between the rings.

Though you are technically in the 'afterlife' while living in Hell, you can still technically die. When a sinner dies, they are instantly transported to the front gates outside of Hell. They have to redo the entire 'check-in' process and then get sent back to the place they were previously before they died. It is a very long and frustrating process, so dying is typically avoided. Whenever a school student dies, a teacher must go out to retrieve them and help check them in.

Many schools are littered around the rings in Hell (with Blackwell being the most famous and prestigious), as well as apartment buildings and houses to make for good living. You don't really have to pay for rent/bills or anything, since Hell mostly gives away homes for free, but some sinners still go to work/go to school just to fill up the free time on their hands. They can still earn money to buy things from stores.

After death, some sinners' appearances change. Whether that they appear more demon-like or more human-like is usually random, but the sinner *can* change it if they really wanted to.

#### Pride ring

The pride ring is the largest out of all the rings. It is well-known for its sporting and racing events. Most school competitions are held here. It also holds some of Hell's finest prisons, built to hold sinners that can't be controlled/trusted around others. The pride ring is where most former athletes are sent. The pride ring is also the coldest out of all of the rings, being the most closest to the surface world. It has many beaches, since it's the only ring with actual water instead of lava. The pride ring also comes equipped with many gyms.

#### Envy ring

The envy ring is mostly beauty contests and fashion stores. It's usually known for its bright lights and fabulous attitude. Despite its beauty, the envy ring is known for its rude and aggressive civilians. Physical assault is common because of the beauty contests that are held. The envy ring is where most models/fashionistas are sent. It's also known for its famous theatre, Burning Heat Theatrics. Many famous musicals and plays are held here. The envy ring also has many malls and shops that are usually fashion-based. Many sinners come here to change their form, whether that be to appear more human or to appear more monster-like.

#### Sloth ring

The sloth ring is just one big pillow room. Most sinners with anger issues or anxiety are sent here so they can finally calm down. The floors and walls are all made out of soft pillows and warm blankets. The sloth ring also comes equipped with small pools and hot baths for sinners who need to wash up. There are also small libraries and movie theaters. Overall, if you ever need to calm down, the sloth ring is the place to go.

#### Gluttony ring

The gluttony ring is mainly food-based. It's filled with many restaurants, bakeries, and cafes. Whatever you're craving can most definitely be found in the guttony ring. Many chefs and bakers are sent here. The gluttony ring almost always smells good, even if you're not even close to a restaurant. It also holds many festivals (usually food oriented).

#### Lust ring

The lust ring has many night clubs and bars. It's the perfect place to hold a party or night out. Not only does it have many clubs, but it also has lots of speed-dating and matchmaking parties intended to help sinners find partners. The lust ring is very love-oriented. It's mostly known for its festival on Valentine's Day, where the streets are all decorated in pink heart lights and many food, craft, and clothing stalls are set up. The list ring is one of the darkest rings, with having little to no-light besides the neon street signs and the small pools of lava here and there.

#### Greed ring

The greed ring is filled to the brim with casinos. Gambling is a very common thing here. The greed ring is also known for its music industry. Most casinos are equipped with concert stages for performances. Music of all kind is celebrated here, whether that be country, pop, rock, etc. Almost all of Hell's famous music artists started in the greed ring. The greed ring is also known for its economy. Despite the massive gambling addiction, it has the best economy out of all of the rings.

#### Wrath ring

The wrath ring is the smallest and the hottest of all of the rings. This is where Satan's palace and Blackwell are located. Only the worst of the worst are sent here, so Satan can keep a close eye on them. The wrath ring is filled with stone palaces, mansions, and lots, *lots* of lava. The wrath ring has very intense summers, which leads to most sinners who live in the wrath ring to take summer vacations up to the pride ring. Blackwell students engage in this as well; once a year the students are allowed to go and visit the other rings as a five-day vacation during the summer.
