- Any idea where the '2P' name came from? Was that just a random name the creator came up with or was it named after them?
- -
- My guess is it's supposed to mean "Player 2", as in an alternate palette.
- -
- Second Player would be a good bet.
- I'd also wager it has some weird 'fan' connotation. I've seen a few Blue Alastor drawings before so if I had to guess a 2p character is a character that not only takes on a different palate but also exhibits a sort of opposite personality to the original.
- Blue is the "opposite" of red, so I'd assume that blue Alastor is portrayed as shy, submissive and introverted, instead of our traditional Alastor being bold, dominating and extroverted.
- -
- Its a reference to how in early vidya the second player's characters would just be palette swaps of player 1. Originally, Luigi was just green mario, and later, he got characterized as being a softie/scaredy cat, so after that it became 2P=color swap and drastically different personality

- Not gonna lie that's a weird origin for an AU name for an internet animated series set in Hell. Then again better than Undertale where they just change half of the name.
- Any other neat AUs to explore or hypothesis about? Also 3P Charlie.

- There is our own human AU: Pentecost City. Been a while since we did anything with that.
- ---
- Could you go into detail?
- -
- It was a human AU similar to the prohibition one that Smiling Man takes place in. Charlie's reform project is to help criminals in a crime-ridden city shape up, rather than sending damned souls to Heaven. The difference for Pentecost was that it was set more in a 70s-80s urban decay kind of setting, originally a rust belt town that fell a long, long way after American industry went bust. Rather than exterminator angels, cleanses were mass raids by embittered national guard troops stationed in the city to keep it from completely collapsing into anarchy. Hellhounds were a nickname for the near-feral population of addicts in the city, and imps were the unfortunate citizens who lived in "Impala Way", a part of the city so polluted and sickening that everyone there suffered from stunted growth and assorted maladies that left them on the bottom of the food chain.

- Actually, we kinda discarded that version for a slightly less "siege of Grozny meets Judge Dredd meets the Yugoslav wars meets Mad Max" version, where the city is "just" home to plenty of organized crime, to the point where the lawful officials and businessmen that rule by day become the shadowy cabbal of crime bosses by night.
- There was also a version that made Pentecost a border town in Arizona (as opposed to being next to Lake Eerie). The final addition was actually the creation of two alternate histories to explain why the less violent version of Rust Belt Pentecost could exist.

- Shit i don't remember that part. I do now remember that I started a hellhound story in that AU and never finished it though
