💀 Character Information
Name: God / Chuck Shurley
Canon: Supernatural
Canon Point: 11.22, Actually getting killed by Amara hooray!
Age: Old as balls. Older maybe????????
Description: When he's not a blinding glorious light accompanied by the hallelujah chorus, Chuck looks like just another guy. He's shortish, with an unkempt beard and pretty unremarkable features.
Physical changes: nil
Powers: HOO BOY. He's got the whole set! Omni-everything! Reality warping! Time travel! Creation! Destruction! Immortality!
So naturally, hell will be playing, uh, hell with his powers. The bits that keep him together and can keep him safe will mostly work okay (because you know there's shady types in hell who'll jump at the chance to jump god), but everything else? Hilariously going wrong.
History: Here's a handy dandy... wiki link!
Hell Status: Heaven transfer
What Brings Them To Hell: Heaven's... depressing.
Well, that's not completely true. Chuck's a little depressed too. He was all set to stand aside and watch his sister destroy creation, but he got talked into stepping in and stopping her. Now he's dead, in this weird place that's outside his control and really not how he'd have written an afterlife.
Living up in heaven is like a constant reminder of his destroyed creation, and that he couldn't stop it. Chuck figures that hell will be less of a reminder of that, be somewhere he can live under the radar, maybe write a book, and enjoy the music (because if hell hasn't got a better music scene than heaven, he'll cry. He's sick of angelic choirs).
The Pitch:
God as Chuck Shurley is a series of contradictions.
He's the embodiment of creation. He literally created the heavens and the earth, from his mightiest archangels to atoms and cells. Nature! Space! Gravity! Humanity! All his work. And he's pretty fond of it all. He especially seems to have a soft spot for humans. He knows all about them, is amazed by the cool things they do, and has a lot of faith in them to get better.
But he also sent plagues and killed all the firstborn in Egypt, he rained down fire and wrath on Sodom and Gomorrah. He's Old Testament with capital letters and damnation. He's the jealous god who who demanded his people have no other gods before him. He's merciless in the face of opposition, he'll tear people apart when they challenge him without thought for mercy or compassion because, as the top being in the universe, he brooks no opposition.
Then there's his disappointment and frustration that led him to walk away from it all. He couldn't watch his creations screw up time and time again without that affecting him. For a lot of human history he chose to sat back and let things in creation play out without him, despite hearing all those prayers for help. He would have allowed it all to be destroyed because he was disappointed by how it turned out, both with and without his involvement.
Yet when you first meet Chuck you see none of this. He comes off as comically awkward, a good natured guy who's a bit too arrogant for his boxers. He wears robes and eats donuts, makes bad jokes and might be a little callous about things he shouldn't be callous about. Altogether he seems pretty harmless, really. It's a while until you realise that he's not what he appears to be.
Now, you need this strange bag of contradiction in hell because as much as Chuck wants to go to hell for a break, that's not going to happen. He loves people too much not to care about what they're doing, and to care that some of them are doing legitimately terrible things. He's too sensitive and arrogant to take criticism lying down. And no one is going to take seriously the guy who gets up in the bar and sings his own ballads to a group of drunk demons.
Setting Fit:
Now that he's out of heaven and away from that Him-awful Gregorian chanting, Chuck's plan is to get along in hell without drawing attention to himself. He's very slowly processing the destruction of his creation, is rightfully angry about that and disappointed that it all turned out so badly - to the point that he'll straight up lie any time someone asks him how he got here. He just wants to be left alone, okay? Is that so hard to ask?
Except that'll last about ten minutes, because while he'd like to be the dispassionate watcher of the damned, he does actually enjoy spending time with people and cares about them more than he lets on. The loss of his own creation will draw him more to the people here, and he'll want to be involved and make friends, and also create new things himself (in the forms of books or music or terrible, terrible art).
He'll get part-time jobs around hell where he can interact with people, and he'll make sad dad faces every time he hears of demons doing super terrible things.
