"Residents of Puragtory" just kind of happened to me. Although later it seemed to just make sense. I wanted to develop a realm of living where humans could not comprehend. A place where monsters live, if they're monsters at all, or just simple living beings. So with a little help from my buddy Sam we discussed a sort of place where monsters could dwell and I decided to go with "Purgatory". Purgatory is suppose to be a state of mental anguish or suffering. Or really according to what ever religion you are. But in MY Purgatory, it will be a realm of nothingness where everything, in my opinion could exist. It can be a place where certain creatures live amongst there own, with their own stories and there own worlds to reside in. Hence how I decided to name it "Residents of Purgatory". One character can have it's own story and world, that has no relationship with another character. OR there can be many characters who's relationships coincide with several others lives and stories. For example "The Twins". The Twins were seers of a realm held together on its own, but their realm is not connected to the unstable field of souls in which "The Soul Swallower" and his prison resides. I suppose its a bit difficult and confusing to explain in a post what I'm trying to say, when It's so vividly clear in my brain. Think of it like countries, and people living there own lives and what not. Or maybe one day when we develop a brain wave imagery devices that will be able to portray exactly what someone is thinking into forms of images then you all can understand! But unfortunately until that day, you'll have to just look at the characters and imagine yourself!
