A Crossover/AU Concept (Hazbin Hotel x Persona 5 Royal)!

Ok so the concept in a nutshell (Hazbin S1 ending spoilers ahoy!):

Massive canon divergence obviously since S2 will probably contradict all of it (especially Lilith) buuut after recovering from his injuries, Alastor decides to as he puts it, "take a vacation" as part of a further recovery period so with Lucifer's (annoyed) help he was able to get a portal to Earth and a human disguise... In Tokyo which is already overwhelming to him (doesn't help that he stands out quite a bit) but it'll do since he can still do something "fun" there and boy does he!

Since radio is still a thing (just not as common these days), he decides to stir up some amusement and settles into an old abandoned station he ends up finding. He starts small but then gets more attention due to his rather unconventional way of broadcasting and darkly "quirky" sense of humor. He gets even more attention when he finds police at Shujin after Kamoshida's arrest and after some sneaking around (he still has his demon abilities just a tad bit limited), decides to have his next broadcast be about the scandal because why not? The current group of PTs are astonished when they listen in by chance, especially when he was able to quote their calling card word for word which is impossible since they all got confiscated (he stole one, also he gives somewhat of a compliment on the writing ("Somewhat vulgar but there is some elegance to it I guess...") so Ryuji feels a little vindicated).

The principal hears it and attempts an interview for damage control but ohhh boy Alastor just humiliates him which catches the group's attention more. Joker decides to take a risk and questions him which... Doesn't get anywhere by much other than Al finding the whole Phantom Thieves phenomenon "hilarious" with the public's reaction to it. One thing later leads to another and Joker makes a deal (thankfully not Al's kind of deal), leading him to unlock the Hunger Arcana of this setting (Lucifer would probably at best be Aeon like in P4G).

Alastor would also get put through the wringer in third semester! He disappears after Yaldy with no one having any luck finding him. I'm having Lilith be his contract holder there (People are either gonna love or hate how I'll depict her there (I'm personally more in the camp that Al's deal holder is Roo buuut Lilith fitted better for 3rd Semester's themes plus Mooki was dumb and delulu but not THAT dumb and delulu to collaborate with the Root of All Evil)... 🤭) and she notices his growing attachment to everyone and summons him. She also approached Maruki to offer her and Lute's services. Needless to say, most of Al's beginning in this arc was horrific as he gets subjected to torment as punishment from Lilith herself before being made into a follower for her to summon at her beck and call. He's the one who attacked Joker and Akechi as opposed to a random Shadow. They were later able to free him after a separate boss fight with him but he does not take the whole thing well at all.

Smaller details:

-I decided to apply my own HCs for Al's past since it will play a small role in his character development. Namely his relationship with his mother and father when he was alive. He'll even get a small design change post being freed. Nothing too drastic, just growing out his hair with a white streak and having a more auburn red color to his hair along with it being more wavy. Mostly to reflect his growth.

-The others will show up after growing concerned and then getting swept into the chaos.

-Vox will be a major antagonist for the Hazbin part of the crossover up to Yaldy Arc while Lilith and Lute take over in 3rd Semester.

Final note: This is labelled as an AU for a reason since it will no doubt not be super accurate to what happens in S2! Perhaps changes may be applied over time but just thought I'd make it clear ok? Cool!

I thought of the characters for my Psychonauts/Persona 5 AU. The characters are Augustus (Fool), Oleander (Magician), Truman (Chariot), Hollis (Lovers), Sasha (Emperor), Donatella (Priestess), Gloria (Hermit), Milla (Empress), and Gristol (Justice).

oh bestie u shouldnt have brought this to me im about to judge the hell out of ur choices cause these? mmmm dont sit right with me, chief :D

first of all, Hollis and Dona need to be switched. Hollis fills Makoto's role MUCH more accurately as she's already very strict in her work space, as well as being very sold on her own idea of persuing justice n such. She's a rough n tough woman and fills Makoto's role better-

-as does Dona filling Ann's role. She works perfectly for the "exchange student whos so pretty everyone hates her" energy Ann has, along with her playing along with Kamoshida's advances for someone else's sake. we can decide a Shiho later >3>

second, Gloria feels like a very out of place addition given that everyone else here is very prominant in Psychonauts 2 rather then Psychonauts 1 (excluding Sasha, Milla, and Oleander), and Gloria just doesnt mesh well with the rest of this cast. if we ARE choosing from the asylum cast, i'd suggest Fred for Hermit, since he'd fit better with Futaba's struggle of seeing hallucinations brought about by her trauma and overcoming the struggles of having an oppressive parental figure become your new mental image for all the bad shit you say about yourself from guilt

i can see Fred awakening to his Persona and finding a cognitive Napoleon in a war game-esc Palace, totally

Truman as the Chariot is...SO out of left field. If anything, Truman and Oleander should get swapped here. Truman is not shown as outwardly loyal and reckless to get what he thinks is right, nor is he shown being firm on his own sense of justice.

but Oleander definitely is. that's literally his entire character arc :D

the rest of the roles i can see fitting, tho. Sasha and Milla work perfectly for their roles I think (tho i would say Milla as the Lovers and Dona as the Empress especially since we as a collective fandom can agree Dona was DEFINITELY from a rich family before marrying Augustus), and Gristol as Akechi is ungodly funny i REFUSE to change that- (plus honestly it works with my own hc of Augustus n Gristol being friends before the deluge happened)

but yeah, this isnt me trying to judge your work or shove my own ideas into ur stuff, however i am ungodly invested in Persona 5 like this has been my special interest since it came OUT and hasnt stopped sense, so i know...a lot about this cast. And a LOT about their personalities, stories, and internal struggles from my many times of replaying this game.

and then u bring in Psychonauts which is ALSO an interest of mine that i've sunk a lot of time into reading and looking over characters n their interactions n like i have a whole BACKSTORY for Augustus written out, along with an idea that could theoretically be a whole third game-

so basically i can confidently say i was NOT the person to come to for this if u wanted gentle advice cause a lot of these choices just feel kinda paper thin and picked out for no real reason, just because they semi-resemble the character in question or fill that character's role and not because of who they are as characters n such

like i cant see Milla and Truman bickering like Ann and Ryuji do, but i can see Dona and Oleander doing that MUCH more realistically since Dona's a hothead and Oleander just speaks outta his ass all the time

...yeah not too sure how to end this, but those are my opinions on ur picks :D the idea's got somethin but the execution is lacking in my opinion, so this is how i'd do it myself but yknow its ur au! u dont need my permission to do jack, have ur fun n explore the characters however u want :D
