What is exactly Underhope?Ā
Underhope is an AU that takes place right after Chara dies and everyone has lost faith and felt their hopes and dreams shatter. Asgore does not want to kill the humans even if he is full of grief and pain due the loss of both children of his. Instead he is depressed and Queen Toriel does her best to cheer up her husband, she takes the charge, too. Directing the Royal Guard and so.Ā
Papyrus is wearing the Royal Guardās armor.
Undyne allowed Papyrus to join the Royal Guard but she is terrified of something bad happening to him. Does she regret her decision? She does but she wonāt crush Papyrusā now accomplished dream. During patrols, both stay close. Undyne wonāt let Papyrus have another partner but herself.
Is Sans still conscious of the timelines?Ā
He is. He can vaguely recall the original timeline (Undertale), though, but he believes itās a prediction (Genocide) rather than a timeline. He is still conscious of the SAVES.Ā
Since no one lives in the RUINS, who receives Frisk?
Sans. He still goes to practice knock knock jokes against the huge door which is unlocked now. Why does he go further? Himself doesnāt know but he explores the place and likes to rest on the bed of golden flowers. One day on his normal walk, he happens to find Frisk and thus, begins to explain how things work in the UNDERGROUND or what is that even.Ā
What happened to Flowey/Asriel?
After he died as Asriel Ā but was experimented on a flower heā¦He is still kept around. He befriended Papyrus yet itās a hidden friendshipĀ because Sans can vaguely recall as a dream the original timeline (Undertale) and how he didnāt trust any sort of talking flower because they manipulated Papyrus. Sometimes, Underhope Sans is seenĀ cutting off Echo Flowers and putting them on flowerpots: they still shine but they cannot repeat back the last thing they heard.
Flowey, too, recalls the original timeline but he firmly believes itās āhis worst nightmareā and that he is āAfraid of turning into a soulless monsterā.
Whatās Gaster role in this AU?
I havenāt yet decided. The accident that caused his death could have happenedā¦or not. After all, Queen Toriel is in charge.Ā
Maybe he could have faked his death and now lives with guilt as the River Person.
Perhaps, he is still the Royal Scientist and has Alphys as his student and second hand.
How does the GENOCIDE run works in Underhope?
If Frisk RESETS after, say, killing someone. Sans will still greet them like no big deal happened but internally he is panicking that they would kill everyone he knows. For which, at all costs he will remind helpful and friendly. Even in the GENOCIDE run, Sans would try to constantly knock sense on Frisk. And once in the Jugdemental Hall, his left eye would be GREEN representing his KINDNESS and how much he hoped the situation could be avoided.Ā
He will fight back after realizing itās pointless to try to know sense on Frisk, thereforeĀ his eye will turn blue as normal and the battle would be a bit more violent. He still has 1HP, though.
