Going along with is love of Chaos, Lucifer has a personality that at times borders on the frivolous when given the chance. Many of Lucifer’s forms are shown to love talking with others and discussing his ideals, often times passionately. Lucifer truly believes in the concept of absolute freedom without restraint, and will deride opinions that would contradict it if given the chance. That being said, he will rarely attack someone outright for their beliefs if they don’t go along with his unless he sees that person as being entirely irreconcilable to his way of thinking. Rather, Lucifer will tend to speak his own ideology, often romantically and grandly, to others to try and influence them to side with him. He will rarely use force to make someone decide to go one way or the other: after all, that would invalidate his own cause of chaos and freedom and make him no better than the creatures of law he so detests. He isn’t, however, above dressing up his own reason for existence and tempting others over to his path. He will give others power and tell them they might forge their own path with it. The catch, of course, is that he most often gives power to those who already find his path and ideology appealing. Lucifer might occasionally give power to someone and simply bank on them coming to accept and aid him or to become a wild card just for shits and giggles, but these are often times rare. In his war with the forces of Law, he can’t allow too many pieces to be at play that could tip things out of his favor.

Despite his ability to be quite amiable and talkative, Lucifer can also be incredibly straightforward when it comes to business. When he has something to say, it will be heard, and you will listen whether you want to or not. He will give you offers and, while he will often allow you to choose not to accept them, it will become clear that you’re often in a situation where refusing his help is the same thing as slitting one’s own throat. Lucifer doesn’t generally believe in outright forcing something on someone, unless they’re aligned enough with Law and thus his enemy, but he will do his best to stack the cards in his favor when he plans to do something. Occasionally, going along with his more serious side, Lucifer will use a direct liaison. For instance, throughout most of his time in his child form, Lucifer had another demon (debatably an extension of himself) appear as an old woman who he would whisper to and then would repeat what Lucifer said to the protagonist. Many times, Lucifer will try and play the role of what he appears as, whether it be a child, a grown man, a woman, or an angel or demon. Lucifer’s forms, and some of the quirks of his behaviors, are incredibly varied and add yet again to his role as an agent and aspect of Chaos.

Lucifer, in the end, is an opportunist and schemer attempting to manipulate the events around him just enough that it can be argued that things fell into place due to the free will of beings other than just himself. While hypocritical in some of the means he employs to getting there, Lucifer truly does believe in the ideal of chaos, and chaos as freedom, and he’ll go to any lengths necessary to achieve it. Including challenging God himself.
