So yeah! I wanted to make an AU of an idea I had that would be a sad / conflicting story of your decisions based on your (players) actions. (It was hard enough just to come up with the name cause I was thinking of ShatterTale but it was already taken from what I could see.)
So I’ll give a little run down as to what my idea is of this AU.
So, you climb Mt Ebott, only to discover that the ground around the large hole is very unstable, you decide to try and head back but the ground near the hole you were looking into collapsed from underneith you and you fall in.
(Probably not going to explain the story for right now but it is sad, so I’ll just describe the most important parts but I’ll probably edit this post to actually finish a backstory for it.)
( I used my OC for this, not sure if I’m going to use her for the main character but I will think of something..This was an idea I had and it seemed different from all the other AU’s I’ve seen out there, which I love btw.)
So the human who has fallen, woke up after some time and recalls falling down here by accident and the goal is to find a way back out. As the human wonders around for a while, they come across flowey, but something seems off about him, he acts as if he’s..broken or something is bothering him. So when you move towards him, you a put into a battle, with your full soul visable and his soul visable..You see what’s wrong but don’t understand how to help..His soul is cracked and a piece is missing..He seems to be in pain. The choices you have is to fight, act, or mercy for now. You select act and ask the little flowey how he became in the state that he was in, he doesn’t speak..You try asking again..Still no answer..So you go the the mercy button, seeing three options, mercy, flee and…Share. Share? This option is new..So you are curious as to what it means and select it. The soul of the human starts to glow, which got the flowers attention in surprise, as you both watch, you select share again and the soul glows even brighter, still, nothing happens..You try share one last time and are starting to feel pain and the pain grows from within you, a sharp, aching pain that is sharp, you hold onto your chest in agony, and finally after a while, a small bit of relief, as you look up, a small piece of your soul has dis-lodged itself from the rest of your soul, slowly decending towards the flower’s soul. It seems odd but, the piece seems it would..fit perfecting, into the spot where the piece was missing from before..but the flower refuses and flee’s only with what you can make out of what he said before leaving“ I don’t need your pity..” Now you stand in a empty room by yourself. You venture forward towards the next room, seeing that the last room didn’t seem to change from this one, so you go forward again and come to a different room, but it seems..cracked in some places. This isn’t right, you think to yourself. Why are some places in this room, cracked and missing parts of itself? Even though it isn’t very noticeable, you notice it right off the bat, seeing as you’ve seen this before, as if out of a dream. (Short story to it - I will write more. )
Now for the main concept of this AU. You (as the human) Can either share part of your soul to make the monsters feel..whole again/keeping them stable before sparing them, but with this option, you suffer consequences to your own being, Each monster you share your soul with, you yourself, slowly start to crack and start disappering ( Kinda like glass or particles from when a monster die’s but it’s a slow process and it’s a painful one ) But you won’t be able to help every single monster feel whole again / keep stable, so it’s a decision you are going to have to make. Now for the fight options. You have attack and take. With the take option, you can either take part of their soul to keep yourself from disappering/ keeping yourself stable, or take their entire soul, but it won’t be given without a fight though. So by the time you reach asgore, you will either be completely stable, or on the verge of cracking/ disappering completely. Depending on the choices you make, you will either take over the monsters souls or help them feel whole again/keep stable, as if they were their old selves, to leave with you out of the underground. But not just the monsters are unstable, the world inside the barrier is slowly collapsing and the only way to make it stable is to either leave, or help (Which I know a lot of people out there would want to help all the monsters to escape with their being intact. Which makes it challenging. Every choice you make has a consequence. And the only way to keep the world stable is a reset, which makes things slightly worse with every reset. The souls of the monsters are cracked because of so many past resets, even though it was to keep them into existence. )
And I apologize if it seems all jumbled up with the wording..I’m very tired and didn’t get much sleep last night, so please bear with me when it comes to reading. But yeah, this is an Original AU I’ve thought of and I would appriciate it if no one else took this au away from me..It took a lot of thinking and planing into it, along with the coming up art that will be included with it.
So I hope you all like the idea and hopefully I’ll be able to work more on it!
