So y’know when you just start hallucinating while you listen to music, right? So I started hallucinating a bunch of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss characters singing fnaf songs and it got me thinking about what if William Afton was in the Hellaverse.
I think William will take on this form. As much as the Golden Bunny idea could work, I think his shadow can resemble a bunny instead of his actual body. He won't use his real name and he’ll be well known around Hell as Purple Guy.
When he first entered Hell, he didn’t know much about the hierarchy as any normal Sinner would. But one thing that made Sinners stay away from this guy was his smile. Bro is toothless and somehow that just makes it more edgy compared to Alastor and Vox’s evil grin. He has the same security guard uniform from the pizzeria. He won't change.
I like to think when he first started, he started learning about the hierarchy from the television. He watched Vox, Alastor and so many other Overlords to just know what he’s up against. I like to think he had powers involving electricity. This is just based on Security Breach
When he was climbing up to be an Overlord, what he did was he targeted Sinners who just got into Hell, specifically teenagers. He wasn’t freaky like Valentino, chill. He made a deal with these kids, he’ll protect them, and in return, they work for him. And what he does to mark these souls he has under his control is he’ll give them a pin. The pins are Bonnie, Chica, Freddy and Foxy pins. And each pin has its own individual role and power.
Of course the Sinner’s first reaction to the pins are like, “wtf is this?” but then Purple Guy pins the pin on their actual flesh (around the area where we usually put our nametag). Making it a part of them. So technically they can still hide it under their shirt.
I haven’t really thought about what Purple Guy would do in Hell for a career. My thoughts would be he continues with the pizzeria and many other restaurants. He’ll be well known for his delicious food and amazing entertainment for kids. He still builds animatronics. He still some of the stuff he does when he was alive.
If someone doesn’t do well for his business or someone tries to turn on him. Uhm, y’know what happens. Some of the animatronic suits get a little.. sticky over time. So he has his workers get rid of them.
As his power grows I see him being able to tap into both shadow and electric powers. Shadows are his friends, or maybe not, maybe shadows are afraid of him too. He uses the shadows to move around or sneak up on people. He uses his electricity powers to move around in electronics or manipulate machines. Unlike Vox, it doesn’t matter what era the gadget came from, he can manipulate it.
I like to think that, when he walks his posture is so inhumane. Like we all see how Hazbin Hotel characters walk. Like normal people. But I like to think, Purple Guy has many ways to stand. Sometimes he stands straight. Other times he’s hunched over or backwards and it looks ugly to see because half the time it looks like his bones are just broken or something. His voice would sound filtered, like the animatronic voices we hear on the fnaf songs. Very glitchy or mechanical.
I have more ideas but I’m sleepy and tired lol.
