Character: Alastor | lonelysmiles Canon:Hazbin Hotel, right after Season 1 ended with the group entering the newly-rebuilt Hazbin Hotel About: Alastor is a demon from literal Hell. In life he was a radio broadcaster and serial killer with a penchant for cannibalism. He died and went to Hell, eliminating all of the old Overlords upon arrival. He himself then decided to just let others take the territory and do whatever entertained him...only after nine decades he's gotten pretty bored of Hell.
He likes to screw with people and takes delight in others' suffering. However, he has a warped moral compass that compels him to protect the weak. He's taken to traveling to various people's nightmares with the idea of being entertained. He'll step in when he thinks it's not being fun anymore.
During the two years he’s been in Reverein, he’s grown to genuinely love the place. As a result, if something threatens the town, he’ll step up with none of the usual pretext. He’ll still be acting like this is all grand fun (and it is!) but he’ll risk his existence to keep his personal Eden safe.
After his canon update, he can also summon tentacles from his back like he can in Hell. However unlike in Hell, this causes him pain so he tries not to use that trick more than he has to.
Plans: General Plans Since arriving with the first group, Alastor has been slowly working his way towards becoming a guardian though he'll never admit to such a position. He likes hopping from nightmare to nightmare to witness all the fun forms of torment but if someone is weak, he'll step in due to his moral code. He can't be relied upon to save others, but as time went on and he started to care more, he could at least be counted on to pull people out of jams under the pretense that he thought the challenge might be entertaining.
In recent months, he’s started really stepping up, risking existence to keep Reverein as a whole safe and having a grand time doing it. He’s put a lot of work into this town including adding a radio studio where anyone can broadcast and he intends to see it continue.
However, mid-February Alastor took a week-long nap to get caught up on the happenings in Hell. Amazingly enough, his development there ran very similarly including risking existence to help those he came to care for. However, in Hell he wasn’t as successful, losing both Sir Pentious and Dazzle because he wasn’t strong enough to protect them by holding back Adam just a little longer. He’s honestly really shaken beneath that smile. In Reverein, he’s safe from the Deal he made back in Hell but he’s starting to feel the pressure even in this dream world since he’s even weaker here than he is in Hell. He’s started really focusing on a way to get out of that Deal to, as he puts it, “unclip [his] wings” but isn’t willing to tell anyone that such a thing even exists. He’d been content with the limits of his Deal up until now, but if he were running everything, he would never have to lose someone again from not being strong enough either here in Reverein or back in Hell.
Honestly, he always needs more friends. Being the boogeyman of Hell means that he doesn't get much socializing in. Arguably one reason he bargains in souls is to collect people who won't leave him. Despite his time in Reverein, he's still largely used to having people fleeing before he can even finish saying "hello". Redemption is a big theme in Hazbin Hotel but it's doubtful that Charlie's more idealistic measures would really work for him. He's lonely but his social skills are incredibly rusty.
Fair warning though: Alastor picks favorites but he's a pretty amiable (if kind of terrifying) person all around. Once he's decided you're one of his favorites, he'll invade your personal space every opportunity he gets though he won't let you touch him unless it's on his terms. So be prepared to be pulled in for random side-hugs, song-and-dance numbers, and other such nonsense.
Month-Specific Plans Hellish New Arrivals There's at least one denizen from Alastor's Hell that arrived that he actually knows right out the gate for once, so he'll be showing the newbie the delights of their little shared dream world. Also a good place to get booze.
And if that other guy got in, Alastor might help. Under protest.
Possible Cat Adoption Alastor is debating asking to adopt one of the Wild Harvest's new kitties because his kitty is a big old sourpuss. He doesn't wanna jinx his new living situation with Madhuri, but he has a habit of losing roommates. Might be good to have a pet there just in case. Also needs the purring to help with trauma from home yaaaaay.
Mirror World Alastor will be one of the people sucked into the Mirror World which means Hell will be warped even farther. While Alastor's broadcasts in reality will be normal, those in this even more twisted realm will hear a broadcast of screams.
Still working out the details, but say "hello" to the version of Alastor most people in Hell are terrified of.
Dream Board Plans Yin and Yang or Personal Raincloud Still debating the details, but I feel like Alastor is going to struggle with this one. Particularly given recent memories in Hell with Adam and the Exorcists. He faced the same test he faced in Reverein with Orkili's reactor nearly going Nightmare Chernobyl, but he failed in Hell where he succeeded in Reverein. "I got so lucky in Orkili. What if next time I'm not strong enough? I'm weaker here than I am even in bound by my Deal in Hell..."
Regardless of if it's calming down the fish or trying to make the sun come out over his head, he's not going to say what's bothering him. Try to blow it off like it's no big deal.
After all, a smile is a tool, my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that, no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control.

But in all serious, Husk being here in Songerein might actually help comfort Alastor.

Alastor is still disappointed the dumb wishing well wouldn't let him summon Husk earlier. HE HAS SO MANY BAUBLES AND HAS ONLY USED ONE.
