Stories featuring Abel
About Abel
Character Background
Appearance
Abel is a light fair-skinned angel with a few of his father's features, such as his chubby physique and large, golden wings on his back. Unlike him, however, he has wavy and shoulder-length pale blonde hair, pupil-less amber-gold eyes, a gap in the top row of his teeth, and a halo with a slight wavy dent in it, which is typically tilted to the side to accommodate his hat.
His outfit resembles Adam's, only it appears to be mixed with pale yellow marching band attire. It includes yellow epaulets, golden buttons with pink straps and trim, and sleeves that fade from yellow to pale yellow. His visible arms are black in appearance.
His Exorcist helmet also looks near-identical to his father's, only with the horns shaping to resemble a ram's.
He also wears a pale yellow shako hat with pink bands around the top and bottom and with Adam's 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front in pink, and a large white plume from the right side.
Personality
Unlike his father, Abel is shown to be more easygoing, calm and benevolent. He also isn't afraid to speak his mind, as he shoots down Lute during the hearing regarding Sir Pentious' ascension to Heaven when she relentlessly cries foul on the matter-at-hand, and also mildly gloats about being the new head of the Exorcist army following his dad's demise instead of her.
Abel is also willing to make new friends, as seen when he along with Emily and St. Peter sings to Sir Pentious about Heaven's goodness in the song Like You during "Storyteller". However, the same episode also shows he's not very tactful and rather oblivious, such as when he unintentionally ridiculed Sir Pentious' name, and later tried to take one of Adam's guitars when Lute already was in a bad mental state.
It's implied that Abel never really received good comments or treatment from others, especially from his own father. For this reason, when Emily mentions Abel would handle things more fairly, Abel is seen blushing because of the compliment.
Vivziepop explains that, unlike his father, Abel is the soft one between them and the sweet son.[3] She describes him as an "innocent silly little guy".[4]
Abel hates any kind of conflict, which contrasts with his newly role as leader of the Exorcists. This is clearly seen during the rising tensions between Hell and Heaven, where Abel suffers several panic attacks because of his lack of preparation to lead the Exorcists and also showed indecisiveness about the best course of action. When Lute attempted to kill Vaggie while Pentagram City was threatened with destruction if the Hazbin Hotel group didn't destroy the Might of Lilith, Abel hesitated, wondering what his father would do. He finally mustered the courage to stand up to her firmly in "Curtain Call" when she was going against Sera's orders, ordering her to halt her attack and return to Heaven.
Abilities
Longevity - As a son of Adam, Abel has existed for at least thousands of years, and presumably is unable to die of old age.
Flight - Similar to other angels, Abel is able to fly thanks to his wings.
Aureole - As seen in Hear My Hope, Abel can surround himself in light. This is a trait he shares with his father, and both use it to call for attention or assert authority over other beings.
Pyligenesis - Like his father and other high ranking angels, Abel was able to create a portal so he and Lute can return to Heaven and access hell.
Skillset
Musical talent - During the songs Like You and Hear My Hope, Abel demonstrates phenomenal singing skills.
Leadership - He was appointed as the new leader of the Exorcists after his father, Adam, died. He was unprepared, but in "Curtain Call", he was able to step into his position and order Lute to stand down.
