UMAE - Alchemical Latex
Lore on Dolus & Iocus (Coming soon)

Who is Dolus? and Who is Iocus?
As stated previously, these two are the same entity, manifesting as twin Devils. The magenta half is Dolus (the muscle), while the Yellow half is Iocus (The brains).
Alchemical Latex?
Something Hermes Trismegistus and King Solomon never saw coming was people using Alchemy and Necromancy for... stupid stuff. Despite not being proper conduct, it is fine as long as the Alchemist or Necromancer does not bother other people, abuse their power, or fall into pure degeneracy. Using the powers that be to create suits or devices for personal use is fine. Humans are imperfect and carnal desires. Permanently suppressing these desires never ends well. Also consider that a good amount of Demons and Devils like to loosen their belts and let down their hair every now and then... some more than others, but that is beside the point.
Despite Dolus & Iocus being a massive Ne'er-do-well, Will keeps them around. Being real here, he has too much fun with them. When Faustus, Mira, and Cliff are busy, Will summon the latex devil. They appear to have a gift for Will this time: a recipe to create... Alchemical Latex? When delving deep into the magic side of Alchemy, it is possible to create all sorts of materials. Alchemical Gold is the most noteworthy, but there are others. Alchemy and Necromancy also go hand in hand, causing Will to create a latex suit from transmutation. It was quite shocking given that it clung to Will like a second skin, yet was clearly just a suit.
The suit is much like Will's magic armor in that it basically serves the same purpose... except this is made out of latex. In fact, it might be even better given that it is more flexible and quiet. It also completely encases Will, protecting him from all sorts of stuff. A downside is that the suit is permanent unless removed by a Demon or a Devil. This could make use in the field a little awkward given how shiny it is, the skintight nature of it, and Will's anatomy. Interestingly, the latex Devil has added an extra feature to help keep Will focused and not get distracted...
To be fair, most people in Hell and the Unlight have no qualms with a suit like this. Whatever floats your boat and boats your float.

I would love to post the variants, but I need to figure out how to get the unwatermarked versions. I'm hoping there's an extension for Krita that allows it to open Riff files from Corel Painter.
