Speaking for my own AU, there are only 4 MCI kids in my AU (Susie, Fritz, Jeremy and Gabriel), plus Andrew as a survivor. Andrew is kinda like Jupiter from Nope in how he’s made his trauma his business, he co-opts Fallfest and turns it into a glorified Freddy’s parade, and all the families of the MCI hate him

TOYSNHK/BV is called Cassidy in my au and holds an honorary place in the lineup as the posessor of Fredbear, as well as Shadow Freddy. Both he and Jeremy (who is Shadow Bonnie) are vengeful spirits that drag the other kids into their anger

Gabriels stuffed bear and Susies bow were stolen by William and given to his children (which is why both he and Cass have the Fredbear plush, Gabriel won it on his birthday)

To keep in line with the games montra “your choices don’t matter”, I believe we’ll only get three endings, but the routes to get there will be substantially different from eachother

^((To reiterate on the Chapter 7 convergence, I think every route that converges in with eachother would also look different from eachother))

Anyways, normal route is the most obvious to explain, it’s just going through the game normally ^((I guess I could’ve also seperated this one between recruit and no mercy routes too)) which what I mean is that it ignores the shadow crystal and weird routes

I think shadow crystal route will converge with normal route, as well as the aborted weird route in chapter 7, and have the same ending. But again, will have vastly different ways to get there. Post-snowgrave and especially post-lake, I’m expecting a major crashout to happen in Chapter 6

Weird route is self explanatory, especially with Side B revealed

Anyways as for forbidden route, because your unable to get the pure crystal (presumably) in weird route and the thorn ring in shadow crystal route. Forbidden route would be how your able to obtain the Twisted Sword, and if I had to guess, kill all of Hometown

Here is a fun graph I made to show this

Fyi, Ribbit and Zoobles swap places ^((Zoobs is the one who abstracts since they remind me a lot of Goose, and I want to have some sort of separation from the show)) and also I’ll probably tweak their designs right after posting this

Also also sorry for the low res images, I sized them down for the group photo

Left to right; Salman, Asmodeus, Venus and Celeste

I use “flag” loosely, since it only really applies to Heaven and kind of Hell. The Nephilim are spread into different communities and they don’t have flags representing each one, so instead I just used the jewellery used in Jubilees

Nephilim are also the only horned creatures in the Afterlife System, since it’s a genetic mutation caused by angelic biology mixing with humans. This is also why they can repopulate when normal sinners can’t. Different communities have different horn shapes

^(Image above is called "Harrowing of Hell" by Jheronimus Bosch, c. 1450-1516. Not my own art but I thought it fit)

Just to clarify this post; I had the thought a couple years ago that if Hell's purpose was the punish bad people, wouldn't ^((or shouldn't)****) that also mean Hell should also be viewed more positively? Not that one should intentionally try to go to Hell, but that it's existence was just. That idea is what started my new story idea, if Hell was basically just an extension of Heaven, and where instead of demons existing as a result of the rebellion, the torture was carried out by Angels as a job. This post will just go through the basic lore

^((I know this is kinda true in Dantes Divine Comedy in that the purpose of Hell is just, but the demons are also basically suffering as well; but I feel like my version is different enough since demons don't exist in it)****)

Also, I must presume parts of this stories lore is considered blasphemy since it's basically a Heaven/Hell retelling. I've made some character-equivalents to certain figures so it's not too egregious, but take care when reading further

Summarised plot

The bulk of the story takes place in the Afterlife, which is called the Apocrypha plains. When the God-Equivalent Prima Mobim first came into existence, she decided to create the mortal plane ^((our Solar System)****) which took her a week to complete. To help out with terraforming she created the three giant beasts; Behemoth, Ziz and Leviathan. Jealous over her brothers, Levi covered the Earth in ocean to claim her superiority, which Prima flung her back to the Afterlife as punishment. The impact crater made from Leviathans crash became what is later called Hell. Her brothers built Mount Purgatory surrounding the impact to imprison her, and placed Heaven at the mountains peak

To the time of Adam and Eve, Prima Mobim made a bunch of Angels to help carry out her will, and Lucifer was stationed at Eden. He didn't like how she was operating things, so he rallied a third of the Angels in an attempt to overthrow her in Heaven. He started the three rebellion by tempting Eve to eating the Apple of forbidden knowledge. On the third day, he made an alliance with Leviathan to help break her out of the mountain, which caused Prima to call for a peace treaty. Hell would become a legitimate part of the afterlife cycle, and Lucifer would be able to rule his own Kingdom alongside his Princes underneath the mountain ^((this is also basically where the lore diverges from Biblical canon)****)

Fast forwarding to when humans have populated to Earth, way past all the Nephilim lore, after Prima's son is murdered by the Romans, she and the Princes of Hell create an Apocalypse plan for if humans make the same mistake the second time. Belphegor and Nimrod create the second Babel Tower, a giant spire that spans all of Hell that acts both as the realms cultural/economic/transportation hub, but also as a rocket capable of piercing into the mortal plane. Once it embeds itself into the Earth, all the Angels inside would mobilise and forever torture all of humanity

A select few sinners are exempt from the torture through making contracts with the Princes, as mentioned King Nimrod who helped build Babel Tower 2.0, he signed his soul away to Belphegor. Eve was also made exempt since she was a figurehead in the rebellion, and had her name changed to Lilith when she signed a marital contract with Lucifer

Anyways, to the more relevant part. Because Fallen Angels/demons never became a thing, the Angels are instead able to move between both realms through a hole in the mountain as they please ^((as well as human souls, except it's a one way ticket down)****). If Heaven is their home, Hell is moreso their workplace and their holiday retreat depending on the circle. Wrath is a major agricultural hub that grows a bunch of human-trees, so most Angels there are farmers. And Greed is home to lots of mining developments that souls are forced to work in, so there's a lot more managerial jobs instead. And the city of the Envy circle is basically a one-month getaway, since it's inside of Leviathans second stomach ^((it takes her a month to swim around Babel Tower)****)

I've been doing a lot of thinking in recent about how to continue this story, and I've kind of done a loop around to where the Heaven/Hell system is actually incredibly flawed to everyone but angelic society. Obviously with all the souls in Hell, but also in regards to Hellhounds and Nephilim. If you have any questions about it or the further lore, I'd be glad to share

I posted some “Scrapped Holiday Toon” OC’s awhile ago (I’m sure you can find the post somewhere) but I’ve made better renders of them + a new Main Toon OC

Keep in mind I am a poser, I have not played the game and their stats/abilities are probably super broken. They are also super not canon-compliant since I barely know the lore

Anyways, like I said in my previous post about them, “Scrapped Toons” are Toons that in-universe never made it past their concept art. Evergreen was too big of a character, Giacomo was considered too scary, and Albin had too much of a complicated design for the show
