If Adam is a rockstar, then Abel is a metalhead.

Story: This is all somewhat based on the Hazbin Hotel Swap AU going around. In this AU, Adam is grieving that his sin of eating the apple had unleashed evil onto the world and now his descendants are paying the price of eternal hellfire because of it. He wants to redeem not only his descendants but also himself for creating Original Sin. No matter how many generations pass, Adam has some love for every single human ever because we all came from him. If there is some good in Adam, that good must have been passed down, right?
The problem? Abel. Through no fault of his own, Abel has always been surrounded by sin. His own parents had sinned before he was born and because of it, humanity was damned and he never got to experience Eden. In life, he tried to see the upside of it all, though a part of him always resented his parents for sinning. He opted to instead be a good person, always doing what's best and doing right by God. What drove him over the edge was Cain. The two of them were very close so when Cain had committed the ultimate of act of mortal sin, murder, Abel's hatred of sin and sinners reached its apex. His parents were sinners and doomed him to a life of suffering and his own brother ripped him from life before it was time.
As time went on and sin ran rampant, with humanity being divided between sinners and winners, Abel wanted to take some form of vengeance. Cain never died and through his mark, he can't be harmed lest Abel get hurt in the process. And being forced to see new souls in Heaven that were victims of homicide like he was makes the scar of what happened to him never fade. With all of this fury bottled up inside, he directed it towards the sinners in Hell. Heaven gave the approval and so the Exorcist Angels were formed. Everything about his appearance references his death and keeps him perpetually reminded of why he is doing all of this.
And when he finds out that his own father wants to redeem those that committed evil against his fellow winners? Well that just won't stand, will it?

To me, it makes more sense why Abel would be the one that wants to eagerly slaughter sinners rather than Adam. It's why this Swap AU has me in a grip that I churned this out in 5 days. So, sorry for the sloppiness? Though I definitely feel like I'm getting better at making more dynamic animatics. Unfortunately, for the foreseeable future, my drawing tablet refused to display the screen so that might hinder future animatics. I have been somewhat getting burned out by the Wish rewrite but I will be releasing the one I was working on. And if the idea of Exterminator Abel intrigues you, I have more headcanons. There is surprisingly very little content regarding Cain and Abel which is weird imo since they're very important to Adam and Eve. It is funny to see that everyone else draws Abel as a cute cinnamon roll while I made him…like this lmao.
*IMPORTANT EDIT*: I have made more animatic videos about this AU on my channel. Watch the rest of them here in this playlist: [ Ссылка ]

p.s. Today is the Harrowing of Hell. According to the Bible, on the 2nd day of his death, Jesus went to Hell announcing his resurrection. It's Easter weekend, might as well celebrate with a Christian-like animatic, amirite?
