I think Albedo, who accidentally turned himself into a human and was forced to stay that way long term has so much potential. He could have been an interesting way to explore this theme of coming to understand another species. I can imagine him slowly finding different things about human culture that he actually enjoys, but it’s albedo and he’s stubborn he so he would be in complete denial. Like he seemed to be genuinely into the Ben 10 live thing. At least a little bit. I mean his human form (Ben’s dna) canonically changes the way he thinks. We already see that with his love of chili fries. Idk I just wanna explore how living as a human for so long would effect him including both positive negative aspects.

Think about the way gray matter changes Ben and makes him smarter, or how rath makes him a little dumber and a whole lot angrier. The concept of how different alien transformations affect the user is just so interesting. I wish it could’ve been explored more.

In this universe, from the beginning, Mana split into two. Chaotic Mana, causing mutations that are tied with fire and raw energy, and Purified Mana, causing mutations that are tied with light and refined energy. The two need one another to exist, but because of the mutations caused some societies have developed differently. More species are in tune with Mana as a whole, one of which being Galvans. This AU isn't explicitly based on anything revolving like... lore of Demons from anything in particular. It mostly uses the aesthetics of the Angels and Demons trope as seen in a lot of fandoms. I haven't seen it done for Ben 10 before, and I wanted to work on something for the trope! (Mostly because it was one of my favs as a kid.) There's... a lot more to this that I'd explain in a bigger post if anyone would like to know! Don't feel like yapping too much on this one. ANYWHO! CHARACTER REFS! :3c Here's Ben! He's a human Demon who wields the Omnihex, which... is a literal curse but still. It functions similar to the Omnitrix in the prime timeline, but uses soul-bonding instead of DNA. And here are examples of Demonic and Angelic Revonnahganders! Rook Blonko is a Demonic one and Rook Shar is an Angelic one.

Here's the alien seen in the comic, Ben's Humungousaur transformation dubbed as, "Magmaurus".

And finally some doodles, sketches and other things. For funsies :3
