does lux also exist in your AU?

yes, technically every and all shipkid exists in my AU/story; ethostale. Though you probably wont see them often other than a cameo, mostly because I'm rusty on my lore revolving them so I'm going to tend to focus more on what I know. and also I'm planning on being more of an oc oriented blog after all

but here's my take on a variant version of her, might be subjected to change (I promise i'll touch upon what variants mean in my AU when I can)

Ello im curious can we get glimpse of what ethostale look like?

Ethostale's surface takes place somewhere in the 1960's, the underground itself had a futuristic setting. Their technology exceeded the humans by far but were sealed before said technology could reach their hands. As most undertale stories go, Frisk's route ended in a pacifist one leading the monsters to freedom to the surface. In turn, bringing their technological advances to the rest of the world and advancing humanity.

Frisk, eventually grew up and continued their advances towards the future alongside Alphys and Sans for years, accidentally coming acrros a gateway to the multiverse in the process. This alerted the likes of Ink and Core!Frisk. Ethos!Frisk assured both Ink and Core that they had no ill intentions other than expanding their world and wanting to help people across the multiverse. Ink disapproved of their proposal initially, but through convincing from Ethos!Frisk their gateway to the multiverse was left open.

Which leads us to the current state of Ethostale:

As it stands, the universe itself currently is a sanctuary for variants across the multiverse with the tone that of a retirement home. They still retain their 60's futuristic fashion aesthetic despite the years that have passed, their technology though is a lot more modern. Jane as well as the rest of the Houndzards currently reside there, Violet only recently joined after being recruited which led to Jane touring him around. The city where they reside as well as where the story takes place in Ethostale shares an influenced mixture of New York, Vegas and Tokyo but is otherwise a fictional City.

Band Kids (aka idk what to call this team yet)

IM FINALLY DONE RAAA. ptm this shouldn't have taken me so long i feel so disgusted with myself. and doing all this for 20 likes too whatevrrr...

anyways lore:

these guys are mostly made up of the younger gen. Violet being the youngest (17) and Vision being the oldest (somewhere in their 30's), and they are a branch formed under the original Multiverse Mercenary group known as "Houndzars". While directly connected, they aren't actually considered to be a part of the group from Jane (the Houndzar founder) because of their collective intelligence or 'lack thereof' as she puts it.

Being made the leader of a group consisting of mostly young people, Ace (the tallest guy) often clashes with his teammates as he attempts to keep them in line and alive. This group was notoriously created in order to cross out the hit list of multiverse level threats on the screen, something that some members had to come to terms with (Violet still refuses to kill). If it seems like Ace is always irritated it's because he is. As his team, despite being created to face big threats the grown ups (didn't) couldnt face, was a downgrade from the latter; The Houndzars.

Vision (cross x dream) Violet (fell x swap) Ace (grilby x sylfaen (oc)) Nancy Pants (burgerpants x nc guy) Cryotron (MTT x papyrus)

and in case you're wondering what the text on the screen says:

all of the shipkids listed are connected, whether through business or simply acquaintance. And some are more important than others.

Grime (lust x horror) Hunter (horror x dust) Skinner (dust x killer) Hysteria (killer x nightmare) Cato (geno x reaper) Seam (error x swap) Order (error x ink)

Giving too much credit

Ace and Cryotron have a very bumpy road ahead of them leading to their friendship, if you can even call it that. It's more like a "I'm being forced to take care of you but If either of us die, the future will die along with us." sort of relationship.

Ace wants what's best for his team and teammates always but his team doesn't seem to know that their lives are in his hands... So it's. Very hard for Ace to care for them and be nice at the same time. They're a reckless bunch. Especially Cryotron, as they live everyday like it's their first and last.

Also please don't mind the papyton designs. I just cooked up some random bullshit

Ace (grilby x sylfaen (oc)) Cryotron (MTT x papyrus)

transcript:

Ace: I've learned a lot of things about you from your parents, New guy. Many "interesting" things... [Flashback] Mettaton: PLEASEEE take good care of our kid!! He's a good kid! Very smart-- a-and he'll listen good-- and--and...He's not like the other monsters but they're VERY perceptive a-and kind and handsome and cool-- Mettaton: And if you want to know more I can share his personal handling and building manual, darling! Ace: What. Papyrus: Indeed! It even comes with his baby photos, his medical records, his favorite food, his favorite color-- Papyrus, Continued: His quirks, their magic even though they don't use it often, who their first crush was, how flexible he is, how he showers, the inside of his-- Ace, in his head: Eh...? ...Please shut up... Stop... Stop talking... I Don't care-- DONT PISS ME OFF! [Flashback END] Ace: WELL-- Mostly "interesting" things ... (things I will never be able to unhear) Ace: Most importantly, I heard that you speak only in Morse Code, Is that correct? Cryotron: (In Morse Code) Yes. Ace: Ok cool, I don't want to deal with that so you'll just be the silent stealth guy. Ok? Cryotron: ... Cryotron: [throws a thumbs up and in his text makes a thumbs up. Somehow.] Ace: I know you can't use your magic, and I also heard you've actually never been in combat before. I don't have time or care enough to train you so, here. Ace, after giving Cryo a gun: I entrust you know how to use one of these, at least? Cryo: ... [Cryotron holds his finger on the trigger and points the barrel of the gun towards his face curiously. Ace snatches the gun from him] Ace: GIVE me that. Ace, giving him a knife: HERE. If you attempt to kill yourself with this SOMEHOW, then you better do it RIGHT or NOT AT ALL. Ace, leaving: Fuckin' unbelievable... stupid android. Robot fuck. Cryotron, thinking: :(
