History Fanfic / ALambInHell

* BerserkButton: Genocide for Lambert, due to his past with the Bishops. To him, genocide is a MoralEventHorizon, the first thing that comes to his mind when he has to consider a sin that would make someone irredeemable. [[spoiler:The moment he learns about the Extermination, his immediate response is all out conflict with the invading angels.]]

* AdaptationalWimp: An accidental example with Exterminators/Exorcists, due to Chapter 11 being written before the Amazon release of WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel. Specifically, [[spoiler:their lack of an immunity to non-angelic armaments. Angel Dust and Husk manage to make an Exterminator flinch and ''shield herself'' from regular gunfire, something canon Exorcists would be too confident in their invincibility to consider even if it could hurt them.]] Chapter 19, the first mention of Exorcists since the Season 1 finale, made attempts to retroactively return to canon by having Lambert and Valentino allude to the show's revelations, the former mentioning [[spoiler:how seemingly unafraid of death angels were]] and the latter stating [[spoiler:how this was the first time anyone has hurt, let alone killed, an angel]].

* NamedInTheAdaptation: The Lamb goes by [[ALizardNamedLiz Lambert]] in this story.

* MoralityChain: Charlie becomes one to Lambert, the little deity reining in his destructive desires as to not attract trouble towards her and the hotel.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: The Lamb's relationship with [[spoiler:Narinder]]. When the latter gets attacked during the Extermination, Lambert's secondary objective is to keep them alive so he can kill them himself with only Charlie's intervention convincing Lambert to spare them.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Lambert is a cuddly little guy who likes getting pet and loves helping out Charlie, the Happy Hotel, and his followers. He's also a PhysicalGod who came to Hell specifically because he thought fighting demons would make for a good vacation, and he's more than happy to turn someone into a bloody pulp if they mess with him. The first interaction he has in Hell that doesn't end with him getting immediately brushed off is [[PayEvilUntoEvil beating up and torturing three minotaur-like demons for killing confused new Sinners yet begging for mercy when up against a serious threat]].

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: The Lamb's relationship with [[spoiler:Narinder]]. When the latter gets attacked during the Extermination, Lambert's secondary objective is to keep them alive so he can kill them himself with only Charlie's intervention convincing Lambert to spare them.

* CelibateHero: The Lamb constantly shows little interest in relationships, believing marriage to be something meant to be between his followers and admitting to not having any desire for a bond of his own. Sexual innuendos tend to fly over his head (partially due to them [[FishOutOfTemporalWater not being invented yet in his world]]) and he responds to outright lust targeted at him with disgust or threats at knifepoint.

* MundaneUtility: Among its more extravagant uses, Lambert uses his mind reading for Velvette's photo shoot to get the exact poses she wants.

* AdaptationalBadass: Years to hone his divine abilities makes Lambert as dangerous as The One Who Waits used to be, with abilities including [[ImmuneToMindControl hypnosis immunity]], full at-will access to the Crown's arsenal of weapons, curses, and his fleeces, [[spoiler: and a full on OneWingedAngel form similar to those of the Bishops and The One Who Waits.]]

* OutsideContextProblem: Lambert is a complete anomaly to Hell's inhabitants, the godlike FunnyAnimal and his powers breaking almost every rule of the Franchise/{{Hellaverse}}, starting with his mere existence from being from a world where humans don't exist and escalating to [[spoiler: resurrecting someone killed by a Exterminator's weapon, a fate that would otherwise [[DeaderThanDead permanently destroy a soul]].]]

* UnderestimatingBadassery: A constant source of comedy is the citizens of Hell assuming The Lamb to be an ordinary Sinner and Lambert immediately disproving that false image. [[spoiler: Even after his true nature is exposed to everyone, some of the more arrogant inhabitants still try to one-up Lambert, and are just as successful as those prior (in other words: not at all)]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Years to hone his divine abilities makes Lambert as dangerous as The One Who Waits used to be, with abilities including [[ImmuneToMindControl hypnosis immunity]], full at-will access to the Crown's arsenal of weapons, curses, and his fleeces, [[spoiler: and a full on SuperMode similar to the giant forms the Bishops and The One Who Waits display in-game.]]

* CelibateHero: The Lamb constantly shows little interest in relationships, believing marriage to be something between his followers and admitting to not having any desire for a bond of his own.

* DoWrongRight: When Valentino invites the Lamb to watch him film one of his pornos, Lambert quickly gets annoyed at the poor performance of the actors and takes over, insisting on a change in actors that results in an extremely intimate performance that impresses the Vee. The innocent Lamb, for his part, [[GoneHorriblyRight is extremely disturbed by the results of his actions]].

* ThreatBackfire: Upon getting ambushed mere minutes after his arrival into Hell, A demon tells Lambert (believing him to be a regular Sinner) that he'll get to kill the little guy as much as he wants, since the latter will keep coming back as long as an Executioner doesn't kill him. Lambert, feigning an innocent tone, merely points out that this means it works the other way around, and a CurbStompBattle ensues.
