9!!This novel provides examples of:
10* FantasticSlurs: Kiriel makes a point that the term "demon" carries too much negativity to it for him to really accept it. He prefers "FallenAngel."
11%%* {{God}}: The Creator
12* KarmicReformHell: {{Hell}} is not described as a place of ''eternal'' pain and suffering. If anything, from the way Kiriel describes it, Hell is a place where the damned torment ''themselves'', the {{Fallen Angel}}s watching over them acting as dark reflections of themselves to work off of. Once the damned feel they have served out their punishment, they move on to somewhere else.
13%%* {{Satan}}: The Boss
14* YouNeedToGetLaid: When Kiriel finds out that angels from {{Heaven}} are coming to evict him from Shaun's body (as well as discovering just how great masturbation feels), he decides to make having sex with another person one of his big goals. [[spoiler: He doesn't succeed, but he learns what it's like to be human along the way.]]
