**Title:** **The Radiant Requiem**

**Chapter 1: The Rogue Buck**

Far from the intrusive gaze of humankind, nestled deep within the hauntingly ancient forests near New Orleans, a rogue white-tailed deer wandered, unchained and untamed. This buck, boasting a mighty set of antlers and a reddish-brown coat streaked with battle scars, was feared by both fellow deer and the forest's many creatures. His instincts were razor-sharp, his senses honed to the call of survival, and every breath echoed the raw paradigm of the wild.

He moved through the foliage with an uncanny grace, his horizontally slit pupils capturing every whispered motion, guiding him past predators and hunters alike. The seasons carved their mark upon him. In spring and summer, he shimmered like a russet idol; as fall crept in, his coat turned a ghostly gray, a grim testament to the lurking death beneath winter's grasp. The scent of decay and blooming life mingled in the air—a bitter symphony that was distinctly the forest’s own.

Today, however, the air was tainted with something more sinister, something only instinct could detect. Danger whispered through the leaves, and the rogue buck felt a shiver run down his spine, his white tail flicking in warning. He was being hunted.

**Chapter 2: The Hunter's Trap**

A chorus of dogs echoed through the forest, their barks rippling through the silence like a death knell. Muzzle flaring, the buck's defensive white tail shot up simultaneously. He bounded through the underbrush, but fate had spun a crueler web. The sound of a rifle roared, and pain blossomed in his side.

The ground seemed to collapse beneath him as he staggered, his vision darkening. The hunter's dogs closed in, gnashing at his limbs, and darkness enveloped him just as swiftly as the night sky.

As the rogue buck drifted into death, something extraordinary occurred. His spirit, once tethered to the primal screams of wilderness, began descending—not up towards the celestial rest, but drawn into an abyssal whirlpool. A portal materialized, drawing his soul inexorably downwards.

**Chapter 3: The Transformation Begins**

It was a curious sensation, beyond physical pain and mortal fear. It was a tearing of soul, a rewriting of essence. When the buck's spirit emerged from the abyss, it landed in the alien tier of Hell: Pentagram City. Here, the world colored itself in hues of decadence and depravity unlike any earthly forest.

In an instant, his quadrupedal posture crumbled, and bones cracked with gruesome finality as his frame contorted to stand upright. His front hooves split and morphed into hands, each ending in four grasping, claw-tipped fingers. Painful yet bewildering sensations accompanied these changes. His staunch muzzle shrank to reveal a more human-like face, now adorned with large, red eyes and yellow, predatory teeth. His ears disappeared, and as his fur receded, a new layer of sharp, chic clothing formed to cover his exposed being—a long, pinstriped red coat, with intricate details immaculate against the backdrop of Hell.

Standing at a towering seven feet, his stance was a being of otherworldly terror. Gone were the memories of the rogue buck. They were replaced, overwritten by the past and personality of Alastor, the Radio Demon. The creature once known as a deer now fully embraced the identity of an overlord of Hell, retaining only the faintest echoes of his mortal inception: black-tipped tufts of hair hinting at deer ears, two small antlers atop his head.

He savored his first words, spoken with a hauntingly charismatic voice reminiscent of old-time radio hosts, his newfound knowledge of English flowing unrestricted.

"Isn't this a splendid cast! When life ends, the show must begin."

**Chapter 4: The Emergence of Alastor**

Memory after memory crashed into his psyche like a tsunami. 1933, New Orleans. His existence as a human, teeming with dark ambitions and vices. His death, driven by macabre joy and morbid broadcasts. Time flowed in reverse, to Hell where he wielded power with insidious delight. All traces of the deer’s former life evaporated like morning mist, leaving only Alastor behind.

As his thin cane, equipped with a sentient vintage microphone, materialized in his hand, Alastor marveled at his domain—Pentagram City. Shadows of lesser demons danced around him, their fates sealing under his inevitable rise.

"Ah, it's good to be back," he mused, turning the streets of Hell into his playground. "Now, who to torment next?"

His demonic magic crackled in the air, forming veves that shimmered ominously around him. His confidence was palpable as he strode by, catching the wary, fearful glances of other denizens of Hell.

"And to think," he said, addressing a terrified lesser demon at his feet, "we used to live for the hunt."

Alastor's grin widened, eyes narrowing maliciously as he ignited a small flame that danced joyfully on his palm. This was where he belonged. Not in the forgotten woods of Earth, but here, where his every whim could be entertained.

**Chapter 5: A New Purpose**

The year turned, and 2019 brought with it a scent of opportunity. When he heard about Charlie Morningstar's utopian dream—Hazbin Hotel—Alastor felt a peculiar interest. Maybe it was the nostalgia of controlling a narrative, of manipulating hope in a land where it scarcely existed.

Ah, but this was not about altruism. No, it was about control, amusement, and a perfectly orchestrated show. And what better stage than a hotel run by the very Princess of Hell?

"The Radio Demon at your service," he would say, voice dripping with a mimicry of sincerity. "Let's make history together, shall we?"

In one grand swoop, Alastor marched off towards Hazbin Hotel, his past as a buck a vanished whisper in the cacophony of demonic ambitions. His new life was an endless audition, a saga of cunning broadcasts and Voodoo-veined sorcery.

The rogue buck was forever gone, transformed in soul and body. His new essence was forever cemented in legend, a tale of magic, mortality, and the unforgiving forge of Hell.

**Epilogue:**

As Alastor arrived at the entrance of Hazbin Hotel, a sense of theatrical anticipation filled him. The story, after all, was just beginning.

"So, dear friends," Alastor murmured to no one in particular, stepping across the threshold, "shall we dance?"

With that, the former rogue buck took his place among Hell's most infamous, completely oblivious to the wild and free spirit he once possessed—now rewriting his saga in crimson ink as Alastor, the Radio Demon.

Prompt: Write the transformation story of the male white-tailed deer (the scientific name of the white-tailed deer is "Odocoileus virginianus") turning into Alastor (from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with body changes (the deer's quadrupedal posture permanently shifting to an upright bipedal posture, his front hooves turning into hands ending in four grasping fingers with clawed tips, the deer muzzle shrinking away to leave him with a more human-like face but with large red eyes and yellow sharp teeth, his ears vanishing and his body losing all hair except his eyelashes eyebrows and a head of hair), instant clothes gaining (to make up for his fur completely disappearing), age change (becoming the age of 30s-40s years old, exactly as left off from Alastor's death from his human life in 1933, becoming immortal in the process), height progression (growing from a normal height to 7 feet tall), voice change (the deer gaining the ability to speak and understand human languages), and mind/mental change (with the deer's personalities and memories being permanently and completely replaced with Alastor's personality and memories, despite the deer's best efforts of fighting the new personality and memories, making him completely forget about his past animalistic self and only remember being Alastor the Radio Demon; the deer (now Alastor) even remembers being one of the overlords of Hell (along with his rival Vox and other overlords of Hell), as well as remembering his previous mortal life as a human from the early 20th century, long before his human death and his arrival to Hell as a sinner demon and soon enough as one of the overlords of Hell). For the male white-tailed deer's appearance, his coat of fur is a reddish-brown in the spring and summer, and turns to a grey-brown throughout the fall and winter. The white-tailed deer ("O. virginianus"), including the male deer of this story, can be recognized by the characteristic white underside to its tail. Like other white-tailed deer, he raises his tail when he is alarmed to warn the predator that it has been detected. An indication of the deer's age is the length of the snout and the color of the coat, with older deer tending to have longer snouts and grayer coats. The white-tailed deer's horizontally slit pupil allows for good night vision and color vision during the day. Whitetails process visual images at a much more rapid rate than humans and are better at detecting motion in low-light conditions. Male deer (also known as a buck) of this species usually weigh 68 to 136 kilograms (150 to 300 lbs), but mature bucks over 180 kilograms (400 lbs) have been recorded in the northernmost reaches of their native range, namely Minnesota, Ontario, and Manitoba. Including all populations, the average summer weight of adult males is 68 kilograms (150 lbs) and is 45 kilograms (100 lbs) in adult females. Deer have dichromatic (two-color) vision with blue and yellow primaries; humans normally have trichromatic vision. Thus, deer poorly distinguish the oranges and reds that stand out so well to humans; this makes it very convenient to use deer-hunter orange as a safety color on caps and clothing to avoid accidental shootings during hunting seasons. Males regrow their antlers every year. Bucks without branching antlers are often termed "spikehorn", "spiked bucks", "spike bucks", or simply "spikes/spikers". The spikes can be quite long or very short. Length and branching of antlers are determined by nutrition, age, and genetics. Rack growth tends to be very important from late spring until about a month before velvet sheds. Healthy deer in some areas that are well-fed can have eight-point branching antlers as yearlings (1.5 years old). Although antler size typically increases with age, antler characteristics (e.g., number of points, length, or thickness of the antlers) are not good indicators of buck age, in general, because antler development is influenced by the local environment. The individual deer's nutritional needs for antler growth is dependent on the diet of the deer, particularly protein intake. Good antler-growth nutritional needs (calcium) and good genetics combine to produce wall trophies in some of their range. Spiked bucks are different from "button bucks" or "nubbin' bucks", that are male fawns and are generally about six to nine months of age during their first winter. They have skin-covered nobs on their heads. They can have bony protrusions up to 10 mm (1⁄2 inches) in length, but that is very rare, and they are not the same as spikes. Antlers begin to grow in late spring, covered with a highly vascularised tissue known as velvet. Bucks either have a typical or atypical antler arrangement. Typical antlers are symmetrical and the points grow straight up off the main beam. Atypical antlers are asymmetrical and the points may project at any angle from the main beam. These descriptions are not the only limitations for typical and atypical antler arrangement. The Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young scoring systems also define relative degrees of typicality and atypicality by procedures to measure what proportion of the antlers is asymmetrical. Therefore, bucks with only slight asymmetry are scored as "typical". A buck's inside spread can be from 8–60 centimeters (3–25 inches). Bucks shed their antlers when all females have been bred, from late December to February. For the male white-tailed deer's behavior, his species are generalists and can adapt to a wide variety of habitats. The largest white-tailed deer subspecies occur in the temperate regions of North America. The northern white-tailed deer ("O. v. borealis"), Dakota white-tailed deer ("O. v. dacotensis"), and northwest white-tailed deer ("O. v. ochrourus") are some of the largest deer in these regions, with large antlers. The smallest white-tailed deer subspecies occur in the Florida Keys and in partially wooded lowlands in the Neotropics. White-tailed deer eat large amounts of food, commonly eating legumes and foraging on other plants, including shoots, leaves, cacti (in deserts), prairie forbs, and grasses. They also eat acorns, fruit, and corn. Their multi-chambered stomachs allow them to eat some foods humans cannot, such as mushrooms (even those that are toxic to humans) and poison ivy. Their diets vary by season according to the availability of food sources. They also eat hay, grass, white clover, and other foods they can find in a farmyard. Though almost entirely herbivorous, white-tailed deer have been known to opportunistically feed on nesting songbirds, field mice, and birds trapped in mist nets, if the need arises. When additional amounts of minerals such as calcium are needed in their diet, they can resort to osteophagy, chewing on bones of dead animals. A grown deer can eat around 900 kilograms (2,000 lbs) of vegetable matter annually. A population of around 8 deer per square kilometre (20 /sq mi) can start to destroy the forest environment in their foraging area. Their diet consists mostly of woody shoots, stems, and leaves of woody plants as well as grasses, cultivated crops, nuts, berries, and wildflowers. The items they feed on are not generally abundant in mature forests and are mostly found at "edges". Edges are described as a "mosaic of vegetation types that create numerous interwoven 'edges' where their respective boundaries intersect" and provide optimum cover for browsers such as the white-tailed deer. White-tailed deer can easily thrive in suburban areas, as a combination of increased safety from some predators (including human hunting), high quality and abundance of foods in home gardens, city parks, open farmland, and other factors all create landscapes with an abundance of edge habitat. The white-tailed deer is a ruminant, which means it has a four-chambered stomach. Each chamber has a different and specific function that allows the deer to eat a variety of different foods, digesting it at a later time in a safe area of cover. The stomach hosts a complex set of microbes that change as the deer's diet changes through the seasons. If the microbes necessary for digestion of a particular food (e.g., hay) are absent, it will not be digested. Utilizing foregut fermentation, the fermented ingesta (known as cud) is regurgitated and chewed again, to mix it with saliva and reduce the particle size. Smaller particle size allows for increased nutrient absorption and the saliva is important because it provides liquid for the microbial population, recirculates nitrogen and minerals, and acts as a buffer for the rumen pH. Males compete for the opportunity of breeding females. Sparring among males determines a dominance hierarchy. Bucks attempt to copulate with as many females as possible, losing physical condition, since they rarely eat or rest during the rut. The general geographical trend is for the rut to be shorter in duration at increased latitude. Many factors determine how intense the "rutting season" will be; air temperature is a major one. Any time the temperature rises above 4 °C (40 °F), the males do much less traveling looking for females, else they will be subject to overheating or dehydrating. Another factor for the strength of rutting activity is competition. If numerous males are in a particular area, then they compete more with the females. If fewer males or more females are present, then the selection process will not need to be as competitive. For Alastor's appearance (after the male white-tailed deer turned into him), he is a slim (having an unnaturally thin torso, neck, arms, and legs, except his shoulders are broad), dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin, and usually has an unnaturally broad and permanent smile (reaching from each cheek's upper area) full of sharp, yellow teeth (he has no ability to frown due to this permanent smile). Unlike deer and like other demons, humans (which he used to be), he has trichromatic vision. He is approximately 7 feet tall. He sports a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown, which can grow in size in his full demonic form. Alastor's eyes have dark-red sclerae, bright-red irises and thin black pupils (which can change into the shape of radio dials when shifting into his full demon form). His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoof-toed feet and red clawed fingers. Alastor wears a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye. He accessorizes with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. Alastor also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice. His voice also sounds like it is coming from an old-fashioned vintage radio. Alastor has many supernatural powers, such as demon transformation (the ability to turn into a more powerful demon form), flexibility (able to contort his body into numerous unnatural poses), demonic magic (able to cast magic thanks to the high power-level he has accrued in the demon ranking system, this magic takes the visual form of glowing red symbols that resemble Voodoo veve, which float around him), shadow manipulation (able to summon shadows and manipulate them into doing his bidding), spatial warping (able to get around with the help of his shadow, allowing teleportation through this ability), portal creation (able to transport others to his location easily via the portals he makes), pyrokinesis (able to summon small balls of fire for display purpose), phytokinesis (able to make plants wilt with a single stare), manifestation, photokinesis (able to project red glowing light from his eyes as well as his microphone), and outfit alteration (capable of changing the outfits of his targets as well as his own with a snap of a finger). He is also capable of various other abilities including deal-making (as Alastor is known to be a deal-maker demon; deal-maker demons like Alastor can increase their power by dealing in souls, which is a very powerful commodity in hell, so they’re seen as very manipulative and not to be toyed with, deal-making is not something every demon can do, as such it is not to be taken lightly as it doesn’t generally work out well for the other party), broadcasting (when he was a living human, Alastor's profession was as a radio show host, and he continues his broadcasts in Hell as a demon, ensuring that Hell's denizens are aware of his activities over the airwaves, earning him the title of "The Radio Demon"), bilingualism (Alastor can speak English fluently as well as some broken Creole French), cooking (Alastor is noted to be "a big foodie" and mentions having admired his mother's cooking, specifically her Jambalaya), musical/dancing/theatrical talent (Alastor is known to display moderate vocal abilities and excels at dancing, with some people noting tap to be a style he excels in specifically, he also shows a flair for theatrical showmanship), and wide intellect (Alastor is known to be quite a cunning individual, resulting in him accruing a large amount of power through his tricks and deal-making). Alastor stands out from many of the more chaotic residents of hell for his well maintained amiable persona. He gives the first-impression of a good-natured and charming man, wearing a permanently wide grin on his face at all times. Alastor's behavior, mannerisms, and even his voice are similar to an old-fashioned radio announcer and speaks with a transatlantic accent, often using quaint anachronisms such as "the picture show" and refers to Charlie as a "charming demon belle". This playful dandyish exterior, however, obscures a much darker side to him - one with high levels of self-importance - and he will not hesitate to use physical violence when others don't act in line with his very particular values or expectations. The story is that the white-tailed deer buck, who is a rogue and aggressive deer that lived in a forest near New Orleans during the early 20th century (more specifically in 1933), got fatally shot by a deer hunter (a human) and died from a combination of a hunter's gunshot and a pack of dogs (owned by a hunter). The deer then feels as if his body is falling down, and realizes that his soul left the body and then he got sucked into a portal to Hell (due to killing innocent humans out of hatred), causing his body to be fully transformed. His mind is then being completely replaced with Alastor's mind (as well as now fully understanding English fluently as well as some broken Creole French), as well as the formerly-deer being now remembering his previous mortal life (not as a deer) as a human from the early 20th century (in 1933), long before his human death and his arrival to Hell as a human-like sinner demon and soon enough as one of the overlords of Hell), just before he lands on the ground somewhere in the streets of Pentagram City, located in the Pride Ring of Hell, before he went off to cause a massacre of various lesser sinner demons and become one of the overlords of Hell, as well as Hell's radio show hosts. Eventually in the year 2019, he realizes an opportunity to help out Charlie Morningstar's hotel (Hazbin Hotel) and walks off to the Hazbin Hotel. The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (not the pre-transformation deer since it wouldn't understand or speak English or other human languages due to being a wild animal, and only understands and speaks in human languages once its body and mind changes) so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
