— Notes Regarding the Little Overlord Verse —

In this verse, Alastor died when he was six, so he is eternally a six-year-old child

He is very mature for his ‘age’, but he is a bit more prone to losing his temper as well

He ended up in Hell because even at six years old, he was still showing socio/psychopathic tendencies (e.g. tormenting small animals for amusement)

He was killed by his abusive father, though it was technically by accident while his father was yelling at him for one reason or another and happened to have a loaded gun in his hand

Alastor has still done exactly the same as in canon and risen to power in Hell very quickly, becoming a powerful Overlord by means of manipulation and murder (just because he’s six doesn’t mean he can’t kill someone)

He is at the Hotel because Charlie wants to save his soul, particularly because he is a child

He doesn’t particularly care about getting redeemed and going to Heaven, even if it means being reunited with his mother

He still helps around the Hotel, even if Charlie tries to tell him he doesn’t have to

Because he is a little kid, he can get spooked more easily, try as he might not to let things bother him like that (he’s a big tough Overlord, he can’t get scared like that, no one would take him seriously!)

He still has his constant grin, and his radio-filtered voice

Alastor usually does his best not to act like a little kid, unless it’s to his advantage to do so, or plays into being genuinely entertaining with the results (‘I know, I was gone for seven years, you probably wondered’ ‘not really’ ‘-gasp- I am a child! I could have been kidnapped! Shame on you!’)

He is a lot more expressive with his ears, try as he might not to show his emotions so openly

He still goes to Overlord meetings, and he wanders off by himself all the time without telling anyone where he’s going (it makes Charlie worry about him because ‘he’s just a little guy!’)

He still owns Husk’s soul, and Niffty’s, as well as countless others as an Overlord

Because he is a child, he can easily be picked up by just about anyone, but if anyone tries, he will throw a fit and lash out violently, so it’s not usually a good idea unless it’s absolutely necessary
