hi, I’d really like to know the Main Boss for any chapter! Your AU(?) really inspired me for my own personal thing. I have troubles with certain places in the light world and turning them into dark worlds, like QCs and the Police Department, and the secret bosses are mostly ripoffs of others a lot of the time. Anyways, your stuffs cool, and I wanna know the main bosses of your chapters, if that’s okay with you.
First off, I'm so glad my silly little thing inspired someone! Also don't worry if about struggling with creating Dark Worlds, even coming up with the basis for mine takes some time and brainstorming with other people! If "ripoff" secret bosses are what you need to create to get the ball rolling then don't feel ashamed about it! Creativity is a process that often takes a lot of thought and the best thing you can do is just start with something, even if it's bad or you discard it later on!
Now onto Fool's Fate main bosses. Since I think Deltarune is following a chess pattern for bosses, I decided to go for a Tarot Card theme for Deltarune: Fool's Fate. Not only because tarot is cool, but also because it reflects Chicago's journey! The Major Arcana of tarot follows the journey of the Fool, and so in Fool's Fate, Chicago is the Fool.
Since there's like, 22 trumps in the major arcana though, I had to exclude some and double up or combine a few for bosses, so technically the Fool's Fate chapter bosses only go up to Death. (Well, unless you wanna count the Angel/Titans as Temperance or our ever mysterious secret strange someone Gaster as the Devil). Also since I've only come up with the secret bosses up to Chapter 5 of Fool's Fate, I've also only come up with the specifics of the main bosses for those chapters. I have the trump cards and the inspirations for all the chapters, but don't know the items those bosses are based on or quite what they're like.
For Chapters 1 through 5 though...
Chapter 1: Attic Dark World - Magician (aka the Magnificent Magico) and High Priestess Bailette
Chapter 2: Arcade Dark World - Empress and Emperor
Chapter 3: Classroom Dark World - Headmaster Hierophant
Chapter 4: Diner Dark World - The Lovers (I don't have individual names for them yet)
Chapter 5: Police Dark World - Captain Chariot (A combination of The Chariot and Strength trumps)
Chapters 6 through 9 follow suit
Chapter 6: Grocery Dark World - The Hermit
Chapter 7: Studio Dark World - The Wheel of Fortune
Chapter 8: Town Hall Dark World - Justice and The Hanged Man
Chapter 9: Bunker Dark World - Death
For Chapter 10, as the Roaring, the main boss would be The Angel or the Titans, like I mentioned, representing Temperance, and then the strange someone for the secret boss/final final boss, representing the Devil. The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgement, and The World will all end up being metaphorical or tackled in a later story when Chicago is older.
I have designs for Magician, Priestess, Empress, and Emperor, but they're only sketches. (I should probably make actual refs for them) For Hierophant, the Lovers, and Captain Chariot, I don't have anything yet, mostly because Hierophant has been a struggle to draw.
