I see... Well, there could still be a link between Beelzebub and Abaddon, then.

Indeed there can be.
Also, y'know how I mentioned that I was considering calling them the Seven Great Demons? After this topic, I'm very strongly considering just calling them "the Seven."

Mabe both? "The Seven Great Demons" could be their formal name, or at least what they were called by others early on, but over time that was shortened to "The Seven", particularly as they became more shrouded in mystery and legend over many centuries.

Oh my goodness, yes. I was a bit worried "Seven Great Demons" was a bit too generic, but that sounds pretty much perfect.

Cool.
So Abaddon could be added to the Lords, then? If memory serves you currently only have six.

Absolutely. I've just been trying to come up with a design and personality for him that I like.

Well, do you still want him to be insect/creepy-crawly themed?

Definitely. Though likely with a greater emphasis on locusts than Beelzebub, who has a swarm theme. In fact, one of my original inspirations for Abaddon was Agnus from Devil May Cry 4, who had a locust-themed demon form.  |

Ah, so something more like a humanoid locust, then?

What sort of link do you think he might have with Beelzebub? Could it potentially be an antagonistic one? I'm extending the Shichibukai/Yonkou metaphor because some members/former members of the former group have grudges or are plotting against certain Yonkou.
Also, were you aware that one Vampire weakness that pops up in quitee a few places is a compulsion to count grains of rice if spilled in front of them? Could be interpreted as a trait of Greed.

I'd say antagonistic relationships are probably a given. If three powerful people are in a room together, chances are good that there are at least four grudges going on.

It could possibly be an antagonistic one. Though I never really put much thought into what relations the Lords had with the Seven. I've mostly been focusing on the relationships between the Lords themselves.
Regarding how the Lords see the Seven, my default idea is simply that they view them as living legends for their immense power, viewing them with a combination of awe and fear. This is especially true with Lucifer; while the Lords can bicker and argue amongst themselves, no one dares speak against him and he can silence all 12 of them immediately.

On the subject of relationships between the Lords, depending on how many gods you end up using, there could be some antagonism between them and the "true" demons like Tamamo and Lilith.
