Careers

Clients: Afterlife lawyers are paid by how many cases they win, not how kind they are to their clients, so dead souls awaiting trial aren't exactly given the five-star treatments. After all, it's not like they have to worry about them going to some other firm. Occasionally, Afterlife Inc. handles other legal matters, with demons as their clients, who are treated a fair bit better than their humans.

Janitorial Staff: The lowest of the low in the Afterlife firm, these are the miscellaneous beings who have to clean up the mess when the day is done. The worst jobs are assigned to condemned humans, but some of the work is done by others, mainly half-demons and fallens. They have no power at all in the company, but they hear a lot, and many have made alliances with lawyers to share the rumors they hear.

Secretarial Staff: Secretaries and other paper-pushers make up a large part of the firm's support staff. A large number are fallen angels sent down to Hell for very minor infractions, given cushy jobs that don't require them to do anything evil. A few, however, are willing to pull some strings for lawyers, provided they get something in return.

Interns: Students working for the firm while studying, and the butt of many jokes both verbal and practical. Think fraternity hazing from Hell. Their job is to help real lawyers by filling out forms, doing research and getting coffee, while at the same time studying for exams, learning from their internship and sucking up to company managers in hopes of getting hired for real one day.

Defence Attorney: The lawyers that argue for the souls of the potentially damned. All lawyers hired by Afterlife Inc. start off working as defence attorney. Most are demonic, and hate having to argue for the release of the innocent, so there are a great deal of defence attorney seeking jobs on the side of the prosecution. Not surprisingly, this means they're a very, very competitive group.

Prosecution Attorney: The lawyers that argue against humans, trying to get them condemned to an eternity of pain. Naturally, the demonic employees all strive for this position. They're better respected in the company than defence attorney, and prosecution is well known to be the first step towards management.

Junior Management: Unlike mortal law firms, where senior lawyers usually get promoted to partnership positions, in Afterlife Inc. they're promoted to management. These demons, and a select few particularly ruthless angels, now have a fair amount of say in how the company is run. Competition is, of course, still brutal, because only a select few will go on to become senior managers.

Senior Management: The most vicious of lawyers sometimes, eventually, manage to claw their way into senior management positions. These are cushy jobs with six-figure bonuses and free golf getaways, but to keep one you have to be constantly watching your back- no one gets to the top without making a few enemies along the way, especially in Hell.

CEOs: There are six Afterlife CEOs. Never more, never less. They play a big part in running not only the company, but most of the rest of Hell as well. These positions are as old as sin or older, and you should be very, very afraid of the people who hold them. PLEASE SEE THE "ADOPT-A-CEO" PAGE IF INTERESTED IN PLAYING A CEO!

Vice President: Lucifer H. Satan is vice-president in charge of the underworld branch of the law firm that spans both Heaven and Hell. Once in awhile, someone tries to challenge him for the title, and in all of history no one has yet succeeded. He's ruthless, vicious, and terribly ambitious despite his massive amounts of power. Oh, and he really hates his Boss.

Support Staff: Essentially, the "everyone else" of Afterlife Inc, from the IT people who deal with the company's computers, to the witness location folks who find damned humans who need to testify, to the Saved Relations angels who help make the stay of saved souls testifying in Hell as pleasant and un-traumatic as possible.
