Power of friendship...
Thinking about Asmodeus being reborn as Jester and Fjord's kid. A red skinned tiefling who everyone says takes after his grandmother.
Asmodeus totally having all the plans to regain his powers and destroy all the prime deities. But... well no plan survives contact with Jester.
Him delaying plans just because... what in the hells is she going to do next... he kinda wants to find out.
Jester being the most loving and chaotic parent. Because of course Jester would 1000% still go off on adventures bringing the baby along. Him just watching the pure chaos and expert trickery.
Having Fjord as a dad who is the most caring and excited dad, and trying to balance out Jester's insanity 'No Jester we cannot take the baby to the fae realm I know Beau is opening a new Beau bar but we also shouldn't be taking a baby to a bar opening'. Also who was in a deal with darkness but found his way out.
Him just being along with the mighty nein as extended family who are all chaotic and loving and not what he's used to with adventures he's dealt with. He's stuck with emotions for them and he hates it.
First time he pulls tricks and lies Jester just hugs him she's so proud of him and so his uncle Artie. His trickery and lies becoming far more Jester adjacent.
Also him pulling pranks just to freak Braius out when he visits
Bonus: Beau and Yasha end up unknowingly adopting one of the other gods and the first time Asmodeus and the other see each other it just being that always sunny scene in the restaurant. (Neither saying anything or blowing cover because they like this family not that either will ever admit this)
How each of the conversations with the Betrayers will go:
(editing post cuz i forgot about the Ruiner lmao)
Tharizdun: *incomprehensible eldritch black hole noises*
Asmodeus: lmao no.
Bane: so you're telling me i could do the exact same thing i was doing before but as a mortal? ...oh hey those hobgoblin guys look interesting!
Torog: SO you're telling me i could live full lives without this pain that's been plaguing me for aeons? Hm...i dunno...wait i can also torture people as a mortal?! I'M IN.
Gruumsh: turns out ya don't really need to be a god to throw giant boulders at people
Zehir: NOBODY CARES WHAT ZEHIR THINKS
Tiamat: i can literally live like any of my mortal chromatic children but better so why not?
Lolth: pay child support.
Vecna: LMAO GET FUCKED OLD BASTARD HOW'S ONLY THIRTY YEARS OF GODHOOD FEELS BITCH?
It's moments like these that make me wonder of Glasya Exists in the Exandria setting
Aside from how heartbreaking it is that Braius is so desperate for love and family he'd seek it in the LORD OF HELLS, and how he tragically reflects Zerxus in his reaching out to Asmodeus, i think from a broader perspective its absolutely fucking hilarious the sheer quantity of family issues being projected onto Asmodeus of all people.
Like, you've got Zerxus projecting his son issues onto him (objectively insane), and now Braius projecting HIS family/relationship issues onto him with a bit of parasocialism thrown into the mix, dude cannot catch a break shsjskhhh
It's like, it works in Asmo's favor, so he plays into it, but he's spitting acid every time. He wants to be FEARED and TERRIFYING and SEXY and these stupid mortals keep putting him into the "vaguely familial figure" box and he HATES it
Just, the level of delirium being thrown at him at all times, its truly fitting for the Father of Lies hahaha
