2 Points

### Chapter 1: Genesis of the Clones

In the shadowy halls of a mysterious, ancient lab, five hundred shimmering pods pulsed with an otherworldly glow. Within each pod lay a being unlike any that had ever walked the Earth, a marvel of both sinister beauty and extraordinary potential—the Angel Dust clones. As these enigmatic figures emerged into the world of the late Permian period in what would one day be known as the Teekloof Formation of South Africa, they carried an array of complex traits and untamed instincts, inherited from their original, dysfunctional ancestor.

### Chapter 2: The Wild Permian

The landscape they found themselves in was a mix of dense forests, sprawling plains, and rocky outcroppings. Immense and terrifying creatures roamed the terrain, such as the saber-toothed Gorgonopsians and the hefty, herbivorous Pareiasaurs. The Angel Dust clones, recognizable by their tall, slender forms covered in white and pink fur, their multiplicity of limbs, and their cerise-pink detailing, were thrust into an unforgiving world where survival demanded both physical and mental adaptations.

### Chapter 3: Divergent Paths

#### Anthonioarachnis robusta

Some of the clones gravitated toward the violent and predatory niche roles. These individuals began to evolve into more robust forms, their bodies growing more massive and muscular, and their claws lengthening to procure and dispatch prey efficiently. Their fur took on a dull, camouflaged pattern of brownish-gray colors with only hints of their original pink splashes, assisting in their ambush predation strategy, often lying in wait among the rocky or forested terrain.

The more prominent mouth structures, lined with serrated, razor-sharp teeth, enabled them to grapple and rend apart the flesh of their prey with ease. These particular clones came to be known as **Anthonioarachnis robusta**, the formidable predators of the Permian. Lacking the frivolity of their ancestors, their lives were dictated by the brutal calculus of survival.

#### Anthonioarachnis virdens

Another faction sought refuge from the earthbound realms of terror in the dense, towering trees of the Permian forests. They evolved elongated limbs optimized for climbing, robust claws for gripping bark, and tails to maintain balance. Their fur changed to deep shades of gray and green, providing camouflage amongst the verdant foliage.

These tree-dwelling clones, known as **Anthonioarachnis virdens**, became omnivores, their diet consisting of both the arboreal creatures and the plentiful leaves the trees and tree ferns provided. They developed a keen sense of spatial awareness and an intricate method of communication through gestures and subtle vocalizations.

#### Anthonioarachnis manipulator

Lastly, a third divergence saw the rise of a civilization unprecedented in the timeline of Earth's history—**Anthonioarachnis manipulator**. Retaining much of their original elegant and vivid appearance, these clones thrived on their intellect and social cohesion.

These beings laid the foundations for the world's first known civilization. They created tools from stones, sticks, and bones, and developed an astonishingly complex culture with its own languages, religions, and societal norms. Their settlements, fashioned from natural materials available to them, were communal, some even resembling the first inklings of architectural thought. These early structures, simple though they were, allowed them to organize themselves effectively against the harsh elements and the threats posed by other prehistoric creatures.

### Chapter 4: Evolutionary Outcomes and Societal Structures

**Anthonioarachnis robusta** became solitary hunters, avoiding interaction with others of their kind unless for brief, often violent, encounters during mating periods. Their offspring were raised in harsh and competitive environments, ensuring only the strongest survived.

**Anthonioarachnis virdens** developed a more communal lifestyle, living in familial clusters within the trees. Their society dwelled on an advanced set of communication skills, both vocal and visual, usually revolving around maintaining group cohesion and synchronizing their activities.

**Anthonioarachnis manipulator**, meanwhile, experienced a Renaissance of sorts. While initially crude, their societal structures quickly grew in complexity. Councils and leaders emerged, chosen not just by strength but by wisdom and strategic acumen. They developed early forms of art, ritualistic practices, and even a rudimentary form of writing. Knowledge was passed down through generations, ensuring a continuous improvement of their quality of life.

### Chapter 5: A Legacy of Adaptation

As millions of years passed, these three distinct lineages of Angel Dust clones continued to adapt and evolve. Their unique traits sparked a ripple effect across the ecosystem, influencing the trajectories of other species in the Permian period. The impact of these early Angel Dust civilizations would become a fascinating, albeit mysterious, footnote in the grand tapestry of Earth's history.

In this speculative narrative, the descendants of Angel Dust, bearing the burdens and boons of their enigmatic progenitor, thrived in ways even their New York-accented, flamboyant ancestors could never have imagined. Yet, deep within the cerise-pink eyes and the intricate structuring of their societies, traces of the flamboyant, defiant heart that once beat in Hell continued to pulsate, echoing through time.

AI Prompts

Prompt: Write a speculative evolution where around 500 clones of Angel Dust (a character, voiced by "Blake Roman", from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel made by VivziePop), which will have actual lifespans (of up to 70-100 years) rather than being immortal (to prevent overpopulation and an unnatural extinction), were placed in South Africa during the late Permian period around 255 million years ago and were made fertile (rather than sterile, unlike all sinner demons from the Hazbin Hotel series, including Angel Dust himself, who were once human before their deaths and arriving to Hell as sinner demons; in this scenario, there will be both male clones of Angel Dusts, like the original one from the Hazbin Hotel series, and female clones of him, both of which will be fertile so they would have babies and their descendants will adapt and evolve). For Angel Dust's appearance (as a basis for his species in this speculative evolution scenario), he is a sinner demon who has a slender build (almost mimicking feminine curves, despite being a male) and he stands about 8 or more feet tall, both due to his long torso and legs, as well as his heeled boots. His fur is white and he has a mop of fluffy white hair that extends from both the front and back of his head, with splotches of light-pink across it. He also has a distinctive and focal light-pink heart pattern on the back of his head. The light-pink outline of a heart also encircles his chest, the bottom point of which extends past his waistband and down to his crotch area. His eyelids are light pink and the color extends up to his eyebrows, giving the effect of eyeshadow, and his lashes are dark and thick. His irises are cerise pink. His right eye has a light yellow sclera, his left eye has a dark sclera. He has a wide mouth full of sharp, pointed teeth and possesses a single golden fang that sits slightly to his right of center. He has a New York accent. He has three cerise-pink dots under each of his eyes, which are intended to evoke freckles, although they are actually another set of smaller eyes. He lacks a nose and ears, giving him a less "human" appearance. One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest. The chest is actually composed entirely of fluffy fur, however, which Angel intentionally pushes up into a breast-like formation with his tightly pinned jacket for show. Angel's everyday attire consists of a long light pink suit-blazer with horizontal white stripes down the length, reddish-grey miniskirt, and long reddish-grey thigh-high heeled boots, accessorized with a reddish-grey bowtie with a cerise pink center and a black choker. On his top set of arms he wears long cerise pink gloves with white detailing at the cuffs, on his bottom set of arms he wears long white gloves. Though, usually seen with six limbs (two legs and four arms), Angel has a third retractable set of arms that he usually keeps hidden but can summon at will (meaning that he can have eight limbs; two legs and six arms). Note: Obviously, Angel Dust clones would not be born with clothes, since that is artificially made and Angel Dust clones will be born with just white and pink fur. For Angel Dust's personality, he is gay (homosexual), brash, and sarcastic, with a quick, sharp wit, often with bad/strong language (including, but not limited to f-bomb words). He will often use these traits to deflect criticism or insults, and side-step responsibility. He will switch between playful and destructive as he pleases, and his humor tends to be crude and crass, with an emphasis on dirty jokes and innuendos, which he feels is expected of him and actively plays into. He is stylish and performs an excessive amount of confidence with his public persona, being wildly flirtatious and interested in receiving positive attention for his looks and the profile he has made for himself in Hell. He also makes a show of looking down others, declaring the other denizens of Hell to be mostly "ugly freaks". As a result, Angel can often appear flippant and callous. In reality he is preemptively defensive and hides much of his true, more sensitive and insecure, self for his own protection, not expecting those around him to show him kindness. Angel does have friends, and while he cares about them and will sometimes show signs of wanting to reach out, he keeps many walls up between himself and others, being very protective of his true feelings and avoiding holding overly emotional relationships. He holds a cynical view on the idea of redemption, although he seems to still hold onto a small hope it may be possible for him. The ongoing controlling and abusive situation he is in with his boss, Valentino, puts him under a great deal of stress at his work, and he is implied to be somewhat traumatized as a result. For Angel Dust's preferences, he likes drugs, being abrasive, pranks, getting into scraps, cooking, flirting, the color pink, money, and Italian food, but he dislikes his own feet (he would avoid sex work that involved his feet, or else he would be angry about it if it was unavoidable), losing credibility, Valentino's abuse to Angel, and memorizing scripts. In this speculative evolution scenario, Angel Dust clones (both male and female versions) are placed in the late Permian of what is now the Teekloof Formation of South Africa around 255 million years ago, with no worries of abuse from higher or more powerful demons from the Hazbin Hotel series (such as Valentino), but without modern technologies, Angel Dust clones must adapt to an unfamiliar world filled with many native flora and fauna of the late Permian such as Dicynodontia (an extinct clade of anomodonts, an extinct type of non-mammalian therapsid), Pareiasauria (an extinct clade of large, herbivorous parareptiles), Therocephalia (an extinct clade of eutheriodont therapsids (mammals and their close relatives), being close non-mammal relatives of mammals and non-mammal cynodonts), Gorgonopsia (an extinct clade of carnivorous, saber-toothed, non-mammalian therapsid), and others. The Angel Dust clones will likely evolve in three different scenarios (possibly two of these or all three of these evolving in one scenario); in the first scenario, the Angel Dust clones evolved to become larger, much bulkier (rather than thin), and with sharper claws and with a more protruding mouth area to deal with gorgonopsians and therocephalians as well as to help dispatch/hunt herbivorous animals like dicynodonts and pareiasaurs (the fur of this species would be dull with more faded pink colors, rather than being bright since it is an ambush predator, and instead mainly have brownish-gray fur), and this species would be named "Anthonioarachnis robusta"; in the second scenario, the Angel Dust clones adapted to live in trees (the fur of this species would be deep gray and green in color to provide camouflage in the trees), becoming arboreal to avoid direct competition from the gorgonopsians and therocephalians and to fill their own ecological niches by becoming an omnivore that hunts other arboreal animals and eat the leaves, and this species would be named "Anthonioarachnis virdens"; and in the third scenario, the Angel Dust clones remained mostly the same in terms of appearance, with a few mild adjustments, but have evolved to become true sophonts (or sapient species) and became the first known civilization to have ever existed long before humans existed, having their own cultures, languages, religions, technologies, and so on, and this species would be named "Anthonioarachnis manipulator".
