"Always remember to 'push yourself beyond your limits'; it's the only way that you will truly get stronger. That's how I lived as a human & it's especially true down here."

- during a visit to I.M.P

Greetings everyone. My name is Winston4278 and I am a new arrival to the world that is Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss. While I saw the original pilot of Hazbin back when it premiered, it took me awhile before I got the opportunity to check out HB. Suffice to say, they quickly became favorites of mine due to their original concepts and ideas geared towards adults; I can't wait to see where the stories of both shows go from here!

Goals

 * General cleanup of articles. I am a notorious clean freak and will always try and clean up or add info to messy articles I come across.
 * To get the opportunity to voice any one of the many characters in this world; although I know it is highly unlikely, you never know ;)

Favorite Characters

 * Vox
 * Alastor
 * Blitzo
 * Moxxie
 * Charlie Magne
 * Stolas
 * Striker

Personality
A relatively quiet individual in life, Winston became an almost complete inverse of his former life upon reaching Hell, becoming more persuasive, outgoing and more approachable. Despite this, he continued to be plagued by one trait from his past life; not being able to fully trust others due to prior experiences. As a result of this, he refuses to divulge his name and instead goes by just the initial "W".

Similar to his life as a human, Winston is an expert artist and has taken up using graffiti as an art medium. He is also a remarkably quick learner, having learned to draw on his own and becoming a very good shot with pistols after only a few practice sessions.

History
Spending his early days wandering through the various rings of Hell, Winston witnessed an encounter between an airship and a small group of individuals; observing from afar, he was caught off-guard and shocked by the eldritch powers shown by one of the group members. Sensing the individual may be looking for any observers of the incident, this caused Winston to manifest his changeling abilities out of fear for the first time; this was noticed later when he caught his new reflection in a nearby mirror. Desperate for some shelter, Winston eventually came across a vacant building and decided to take refuge inside. The following day, two members of a startup company that was using the building found him and threw him out after thinking he was a squatter. Undeterred by this, Winston would return at night under the cover of his changeling abilities, leaving during the day in order to avoid detection.

After a few weeks, Winston was caught sneaking back to his makeshift home. Despite the threat of sending him to their benefactor, he was allowed to stay on the grounds of him not interfering with their work. Finding the terms agreeable, Winston agreed.

Taking note of his unintended neighbors' job (and discovering a torn flyer during his travels), Winston decided to get into bounty hunting and began to train himself in weaponry.

Loona
Initially indifferent to him like other denizens of Hell, Loona did not initially pay him much notice. Over time, she noticed his artistry skills and was impressed by his ability to change his appearance at will; eventually Loona developed an attraction towards Winston and they soon entered into a relationship.

Blitzo
Due to mistaking him as a squatter, Blitzo did not take kindly to Winston and barred him from the premises under the claim he was driving away business opportunities for I.M.P. His dislike for the new demon only increased when Loona began showing an interest in Winston and began sneaking him into the IMP offices. Like Loona, Blitzo did notice the demon's artistic skill, though due to the circumstances, it is unknown if it was genuine praise or not.

Moxxie and Millie
From their brief interactions, it is believed that Winston gets along relatively well with both Moxxie and Millie. While they were the ones who initially threw him out, Winston does not hold it against them and knows they were just doing their jobs. After deciding to become a bounty hunter, Winston would go to Moxxie for help in learning how to use various types of weapons.

Abilities

 * Evasion: even as a human, Winston was relatively agile despite his large size & was known for escaping situations with relative ease.


 * Weapon mastery: When he was alive, Wisnton had some experience in weapon training (mostly with pistols and revolvers). After deciding to become a bounty hunter in Hell, he quickly became adept at using several other types courtesy of Moxxie instructing him.

Supernatural Abilities
Manifesting the ability to change his appearance, Winston is able to transform his appearance to almost any demon, imp or other denizen of Hell, as long as the target subject is close to his actual size and body proportions.

Trivia

 * Winston's decision to not share his name with others is reminiscent to how one can have power over a demon once learning its true name.
 * Having witnessed Alastor's powers firsthand, he is notably wary of the Overlord and by extension, the Happy Hotel staff. Despite this, he does respect the idea and effort Charlie is doing to rehabilitate demons.
 * Due to changing his appearance often, many do not know what Winston actually looks like. One of his preferred forms is similar in appearance to the Batman villain, The Batman Who Laughs.
