I am responsible for the Universal Clarification Series that includes my OC, Claire Hemlock, who develops relationships with Wester's characters from the original film. This adaptation is a full-length series composed of short stories demonstrating the timeline of life and death (and even some time after that). Everything's still in the making right now and will be posted up as I go, so keep an eye out for updates!

Character Cast
A quick run-down of the characters featured throughout the storyline.

W2H Imports

 * Jonathan Combs -- (Arguably) The main protagonist: an apathetic teenage boy whose life is forever altered by a newly acquired personal demon, who consequently lands him a lifelong friendship with a girl he would have loved to forget.
 * "Sock" Sowachowski -- (Arguably) The anti-hero sidekick: the flashy-cladden boy whose homicidal tendencies earned his eternal career as a personal demon. Jonathan is his first assigned counterpart that he must drive to suicide.
 * Mephistopheles -- (Arguably) The main antagonist/anti-hero: the official Ruler of Hell (undergoing renovations ATM), who prefers not to be attributed to his own position. What he lacks in self-esteem and trust, he makes up for in charisma and witty puns!
 * Providence -- (Arguably) The most important supporting character: She is "God," who loosely oversees all of humanity, but tries not to interfere too much in human affairs. Her relationship with Mephistopheles is complicated - for a lack of better words...
 * Magill "Lil" Nancy -- A background character: One of Jonathan (and Claire's) classmates, who has more emotional turmoil than she leads on to believe. Having a guardian angel was never her idea, but it's someone to talk to sometimes, right?
 * Joane "Jojo" Canterbury -- A fairly important background character: A former neighbor to Sock, who met an early death and became an angel. Currently vying to be Lil's guardian, her nasty thirst for revenge on Sock may harm more people than she expects.
 * Zack Melto -- An important supporting character: A jock who sometimes bullies Jonathan, but struggles with his own sexual identity. Their relationship is tense at best, but it's possible that Zack may just be scared to be honest with himself and his feelings.
 * Tom -- A background character: A demon in Hell who primarily keeps to himself, but occasionally has been asked to do more than cleaning tasks by Mephistopheles.

Original Creations

 * Claire Hemlock -- (Ideally) The main female protagonist: An only child whose lively, upbeat personality is as apparent as her love of dead things. She collects real skulls and changes her hair color depending on who her friends are as she grows.
 * Jean Kadeen Costello -- An important supporting character: a young Middle Eastern man whose interests in science and medicine lands him a career as Miss Hemlock's future embalming assistent, having met (and possibly liked) her during college.
 * Mr. & Ms. Hemlock -- An important background character (Father) and an important supporting character (Mother): Claire's parents, both of whom put aside their dream jobs to raise their daughter, and then later divorced.
 * Mr. & Mrs. Combs -- Equally important supporting characters: Jonathan's parents, who work (somewhat enjoyable) blue-collar jobs to maintain a standard middle class lifestyle for their two children.
 * "Tabby" Combs -- A fairly important supporting character: Jonathan's older sister, who has fond childhood memories of him. She's kept busy with softball practice, but wants to make time to reconnect if only Jonathan would respond to her invitations.
 * Mr. & Mrs. Vinello -- Equally tertiary characters: Ms. Hemlock's brother and sister-in-law (AKA Claire's Aunt and Uncle), who live the next town over and mourn the loss of their only child.
 * Winnifred Anissa Vinello -- A one-shot supporting character: the deceased only child of Mr. & Mrs. Vinello (AKA Claire's older cousin), who died of alcohol poisoning during her early twenties.
 * Ophelia -- A background character: someone that Mephistopheles and Providence both refer to during private conversations, which seems to stir up troublesome memories for the devil. Perhaps she meant more to him than She thought...?
 * Orpheus -- A background character: someone that Providence mentions occasionally when Ophelia's name appears in Her and Mephistopheles' private conversations. He must have been particularly close to Ophelia.
 * Cadence Malloy -- (Arguably) An important background character: the bassist for Valhalla Soundbox, whose hairstyle Jonathan adopted during their initial rise to fame in the early 2000s. Apparantly he's a "pretty nice guy" and very talented.
