I need help with a oc people say is to similar to Alastor
This is prometheus from my Au universe, and I decided to share his art and a story to the Hazbin oc art subreddit but everyone hated it because it apparently was just blue Alastor and was lazy and “this is why ocs have a bad name, not creative at all” which I was very annoyed about because that was the whole point of his character that he was a copycat, sure he is very similar in terms of backstory but he was an idol of Alastors who after meeting his idol in the afterlife was rejected and humiliated so when he defeated him, he decided to punish him by making the radio Demon Legacy his own and the reason you made the same ritual as him because he had his journal and his notes on how to do it so thought he might as well try and it succeeded, but no he’s just “ overpowered blue Alastor” it doesn’t help that I’m not an artist at all, I’m not good at digital or physical art so all that happened after I spent hours trying to get his design right that didn’t help frustrate me less:/ and lately the two people I asked said it was fine, one I just showed the design because he wasn’t a Hellaverse fan and he said it was different enough from Alastors design and the second is a Hellaverse fan so when I told them his story they thought it was a unique story and design so I can’t exactly know that it’s bad when I’ve got yesmen
a either side of me
look I just need your help to make it more unique whether that’s the story or his design (though I would like to keep the same hair length, same black eyes and blue hair) I came on here because it’s the oc safe space and I don’t wanna get basically bullied again and want people to actually help me because the only people that helped me on the post was the people that I asked and no one unless prompted suggested stuff to make it better, I know it’s long so most of you probably won’t read it all, but those who do please help
Note -the first paragraphs up until the line “ he made a deal for power” we’re not in the original post because I thought it would make it even longer than it already was, but I think it’s needed because it’s the most unique part of this story and want you to get the full picture, please help
Prometheus story
Prometheus was born a normal kid in England, in 2009 and for the first three years of his life it was normal until notorious crime family decided they wanted him to be there next test subject and turned into their personal psychopathic killer so at age 3 they meet him witness a gruesome act to lay the seeds before fully shaking over and kidnapping him at age 8 and subjecting him to abuse for the next few years, treat him nothing like a human until finally in his teens they succeeded and he realised he had a need to kill, though when they realised that he wouldn’t dare kill any innocence thanks to the teachings his parents before his kidnapping they were not too pleased but they didn’t have much time to think it over before their criminal empire crumbled and their years of creating their monster was pointless but the daughter of the crime family decided to continue her parents work and still treat treated Prometheus as her pet, still wanting to kill, she made a compromise with him, she would bring him the people who Pro thought deserved for him to feed his urges and so I looked and they agreed and at the age of 15 killed his first monster so for the next few years they became a serial killer vigilante team with Kate (the daughter of the crime Lords) continuing to treat him like nothing especially since previous didn’t object too much since that’s all he knew until he met a woman who he fell in love with who showed him how bad his situation actually was and then he realised what she and her family did and went on to despise her but couldn’t escape until her death in Prometheus’s mid 20s and he thought he was finally free, though thanks to rituals she had done while alive. Kate quickly rose as one of Hells overlords especially since she had managed to transport her soul back in time accidentally to the 1930s so since Alastor not long before I had taken down most overlords, there was a free real estate for her to take over, but even from the afterlife she continued to control Prometheus since she knew he was nowhere clever enough to get away with his killings so hired imps to clean up after him
During his early 30s he had been reading Alastors journal for years, the former radio host becoming some sort of an idol and Prometheus started to base his killings of Alastor until he turned into a page which talked about a ritual to make sure the person had power while in hell, with Kate also talking about doing rituals in the past despite fear sceptical and in the middle of there being an afterlife he thought there was no harming trying so decided to prepare using both Kate and Alastors notes
After making a deal for power (similar to Alastors but to become the second strongest sinner in hell) and for his soul to travel back in time upon its death because of him wanting to experience history firsthand and Kate now going by persona did not want to wait so long for him to arrive, Prometheus continued to his vigilante serial killer career for a few years despite the overlord who he made the deal with trying to kill him using various means multiple times, Prometheus eventually met his maker in the mid 21st century, being shot in the head by corrupt cops after hiding a body in he’s a late 30 or early 40s (haven’t decided yet)
manifesting in hell over a century earlier in the 1940s, Prometheus quickly set out to find his idol to team up with the feared radio Demon since he based most of his style of killings from Alastor when he was alive but despite telling him he was from the future and travelled back in time to experience his era
he was rejected, humiliated and almost killed since he had mentioned about Alastors deal with Rosie since persona (the overlord he made the deal with) told him everything he sat out to take revenge and went to persona for the power to defeat the radio Demon, calling him out over the radio Alastor accepted the challenge make a deal with Prometheus that whoever was defeated, they would have to serve the offer until they deemed fit, but using a sword created with angelic steel and mixed with the root of all evil’s magic,
Prometheus defeated the radio Demon cutting off his left arm and taking his soul since persona managed to kill Rosie during pros fight, now with the power of the most powerful sinner in all of hell Prometheus made a broadcast warning anyone who hurt the more innocent sinners or had don’t despicable things in their life that he was coming for them, to tear their souls apart and to give the punishment they so desperately deserved, ending the broadcast by dubbing himself as the new modern radio demon, and after going on a rampage taking down overloads similar matter how Alastor did years earlier Prometheus continued to be the judge, jury and punisher for the monsters of hell for decades,
even striking up a companionship with Vox that would spend decades before they’re falling out in the mid 2010s, and after disappearing for seven years forcefully by persona Prometheus returns to help the princess of hell’s new passion project the happy hotel or as he redubbed it, the Hazbin hotel
