I want to see if this could make fellow UT fans kick me out of the group. Though I know itāll get a few brows raised I have an explanation for this I swear. I got more lore on these two than anyone else in the group my goodness.
Out off all my posts for Trucetale Au, Mettaton and Napstablook has hella noticeable changes. They have the two forms for different purposes and go by two separate public names. MTT and NTT are meant for hosting their trivia gameshow and never leave the gameshow building. While Mettaton and Nettaton are meant for concerts and movies they can move these bodies freely out in public.
Why is Napstablookās mech name Nettaton and not Napstaton? Well same question for Mettaton. Why is it Mettaton and not Hapstaton? I wanted to have it differ from their ghost names to keep their civilian identities secret. The name, personality, and hobby similarity between their ghost selves and their mech selves would be suspicious to the die hard human fans.
Since I couldnāt fit their AU bio on their page without making it too big here it is-
-Cousin to Napstablook (Nettaton)
-Monster's well known superstar
-Singer, dancer, and actor.
-Hates glitter as it constantly clogs his joints
-Loves hosting game shows more than singing but won't admit it aloud
-Would ghost out of his bot body to hang out with his cousin and friends in peace without the public all in their business (This would further the human's belief that Mettaton and Nettaton are just robots).
-Cousin to Mettaton (Hapstablook)
-When djing he's at his happiest
-Singer, dancer, and actor
-Loves Djing more than hosting
-Hates being asked too many questions so Mettaton would take over
-Would ghost out of his robot body to hang with his cousin and friends
*Whispers into mic* So Imma give you guys insight on these two mechs/ghosts. As I stated before in Trucetale the monsters and humans did need up starting a war but along the way it came to an end with a truce. Therefore monsters were free to roam the surface. Because of this outcome there have been many economical changes as well as societal. Technology was becoming more advanced and magic induced which introduced the world to magic enhanced robot assistance. But imagine people treating Mettaton and Nettaton like one would Hitsune Miku. They know theyāre robots but still love them as superstars.
This Au didnāt need Mettaton to be a human killing machine so when Mettaton was born he was made and designed to help pursue his dream as a star. When this Au Alphys wanted to help out Hapstablook become a star she didnāt have to go to a junk heap to obtain parts. Everything she needed was readily available and modern. So instead of Mettaton starting off as a clunky box on a wheel she was able to start him off with a more appealing but cute bot body. Also in this Au instead of Napstablook staying behind he was their with his cousin through this first body tryout which sparked him to want to join in hoping it would give him the courage to share his music. Thus Nettaton was born. Because they were still in their early tech ages their bodies had to be in close proximity to a specific computer that sent out signals to keep their bodies online so Alphys had to build another section to her lab in order for Mettaton (with his cohost Nettaton) to start his first show called āThe More You Know!ā After becoming popular, and selling multiple action figures of their current toy like bodies, Alphys made them new and upgraded versions. These bodies they could go out in public in and travel, the only difference is they had to charge after a few days. These bodies they would become even bigger stars by going out and performing live concerts and staring in movies, while still keeping their mini bodies for the gameshow.
