Accoding christianity Lucifer and Satan are the same being. Lucifer was the angel's name while Stan is his name as a demon.

I'm perfectly aware of this, but several sources make them two different beings. For example, Lucifer is seen as the demon of Pride, and Satan (or Amon, it's not always the case) is seen as the demon of Wrath. Also, Lucifer was kinda Yahweh's right hand man before he fell, one of the most powerful Archangels if not THE most powerful. But again, other sources say that Satan was once the leader of the angels called powers, or a member of the cherubim. And in Judaism, Satan is actually testing humanity under the orders of Yahweh, while Lucifer doesn't exist in this religion. So when you learn about all this mythological differences, you tell yourself that a lot of things are possible, so I made this arbitrary choice.

Oh but I would agree to say that it was kind of a daring position to take, and I'm all right with it, no worries
Yeah, even if I'm no believer, for a long time I only knew about this version of the story too, but after making several researches, I was able to acquire more perspective on the subject. And I understand that it may be even more confusing for someone who grew up as a believer My biggest mindblow was when I learned about the almost forgotten Canaanite pantheon, when Semitic people worshipped several gods, like the Greek, the Norse, the Egyptian...
I should try and actually represent Satan as he exists in Judaism, someday, this could be interesting
In the context of my Hell Quest/Heaven Quest storyline, I would say that in Hell, Satan has more power than Lucifer, and that in Heaven, it's the other way around

Hmm... If Satan and Lucifer where to fuse, what being would they make?.... Iblis?
(I ask because I see them as two halves of the same being, if not the exact same being.)

I see. My version of the devil is kind of a mix of both. He enjoys being the ruler of Hell, but still longs for his place back in Heaven.

I wonder what's the difference between Satan and Lucifer in your game?
