Life sucks, I'm going back to my roots. BAM. Edgy Undertale (+ Yellow) Warrior Cats AU be upon ye.

Definitely not an excuse to draw Flowey covered in blood like he deserves.

Insane rambles under the cut.

In this AU there are no humans. Instead the humans are more akin to kittypets in warriors. Except as advanced as humans would be in their little kitty society. Pretend they have opposable thumbs. They’re referred to as “surface cats/surfacers”, “makers” (to contrast with warriors), or “domestics” (derogatory). They have more natural colors and features.

The monsters are the warriors equivalent. Called “mountain cats”, “cave cats”, “wild cats”, or “ferals” (derogatory) by surface cats, but refer to one another as “warriors”. They have more unnatural colors and features. No magic though. They used to be able to get gemstones blessed by Starclan, but they have been cut off after being forced underground, to the point that the younger generation doubts there even is an afterlife. Only a select few still have blessed gemstones or can find blessings from a different source.

Souls work differently in this too. Surfacer souls work like the 9 lives in warrior cats. Except you only get one life per soul. Like in canon UT, anyone who takes a soul shares their body with said soul. Unlike canon UT, the soul can’t control the body at all or resist being absorbed. This is why the makers feared the warriors so much. They fear immortality; being forced to exist powerless with your murderer is practically hell.

Also, unlike UT, anyone can take a surfacer soul. All it takes is killing them with your claws. Because of this, it is extremely taboo in surfacer culture to use one’s claws to fight, instead they use weapons. And this is why I had to figure out Clover’s gun >:/ Warriors primarily use their claws though out of tradition, causing them to be seen as more savage and dangerous. They are all trained to fight (still using wc’s -kit > -paw > warrior naming system) while few surfacers are. But no amount of hand to hand combat training can beat a gun, so yeah, they lost the war.

Surfacers are atheists of sorts? They believe warriors have no souls because they can’t see them like surface souls. Also, not fond of immortality so the idea of an afterlife is not appealing. Sucks for them though because, unknown to most, everyone goes to “Starclan” when they die. That is, if they accept their death and choose to move on.

Finally, there’s no save or reset stuff. Only one shot at this. However, either surfacer or warrior soul power can be used to heal wounds right before death. A barely known loophole that gives near invincibility. But at the cost of the user’s soul, leading to permadeath eventually. There are ghosts as well. Unlike UT, they are just anyone who has died and refused to move on. Both Buttercup (Flowey) and Chara end up as ghosts. How they work is a whole other can of worms.

Wow this was long. And just the basics. I have thought a lot about this silly AU. I hope to eventually show this information visually or in the story itself. Idk. We’ll see.

Moon 5

Dreampaw has been apprenticed!

Surprising Vixenwander, his new mentor, the first thing that Dreampaw does after the ceremony is gather moss, simply to make sure everyone has fresh bedding.

Vixenwander's bruises have healed!

Moon 5, It's honestly starting to look like Lizardnudge is avoiding training Lakepaw... Leapstar seems to be having a mixed moon, what's going on with him? Why is he being a bit of a jerk??? I should also add, it seems that no one actually likes Leapstar? But who can blame them when he's been so rude lately! And Stemkit is nervous about becoming an apprentice next moon!

NEXT PREVIOUS START

[moths-wc-aus]

my darling hope triplets!!! i’m so attached to them they need to live forever

left;; heartpaw, she/her. she started training as a healer but had a vision from starclan telling her she was meant for something else. she’s full throttle ahead at all times and very excited about being starclan’s special little guy. unfortunately she will soon realize that the weight of four clans resting on her shoulders is stressful as hell.

middle;; dreampaw, she/her. training to be a warrior, she gets her name significantly earlier than her littermates, both of whom are held back. she’s skittish, insecure, and has absolutely zero self-confidence.

right;; horizonpaw, he/him. bitter as all hell. his sisters either have an important destiny or got to be a warrior long before him. he’s had a few meltdowns about this to his mentor, canarythroat, but she’s not exactly skilled at comforting others, so he ends up feeling even worse than before.
