((People should send me their secret bosses.

Both to draw and describe how mine would react to them.

That'd be cool

(Fool's Fate Title made by @mrchaosman)

Been thinking about Fool's Fate more since making Dorothy, Poly, and Casper's refs. I have now figured out the locations for all 10 of the Fool's Fate chapters and am brainstorming more secret bosses

Chapter 1: Attic Dark World. Secret boss - Dorothy

Chapter 2: Arcade Dark World. Secret boss - Poly

Chapter 3: Classroom Dark World. Secret boss - Casper

Chapter 4: Diner Dark World. Secret boss - Cherutti

Chapter 5: Police Station Dark World. Secret boss - ?

Chapter 6: Store Dark World. Secret boss - ?

Chapter 7: Studio Dark World. Secret boss - ?

Chapter 8: Town Hall Dark World. Secret boss - ?

Chapter 9: Bunker Dark World. Secret boss - Detective Noir

Chapter 10: Festival Dark World/Roaring. Secret boss - ? (Gaster?)

For Chapter 4, I know Mr. Chaosman did make Flamy for me, but I might take that design concept as a basis for one of the main bosses, based off an oven. Cherutti is a cherub who's Light World item is a damaged recipe card.

I've also been thinking up the secret boss for chapter 5, possibly based on a busted police radio and true crime radio? Still in the early brainstorming phase for that one.

I also know the main bosses of all of these are based on tarot cards, but haven't quite figured out what items they're based on past Chapter 5. If anyone's interested in hearing about those, please feel free to ask in my ask box and I can explain them too.

Deltarune: Fool's Fate Ch. 2 Secret Boss

Numero dos of my Fool's Fate secret bosses! I've talked about Poly a bit now thanks to the secret boss reactions but never actually posted what he looks like since I've struggled pinning down his design until now. I knew he was gonna have triangles, just didn't quite know how to execute the design until I was in call with some friends.

Poly's name comes from his inspiration, the urban myth arcade game Polybius, as well as low-poly or polygonal. I imagine that in his original game, the "User" was replaced with whatever username/highscore name the person playing the cabinet had put in. So if Chicago was playing the game it'd be Poly B. CHI. (Guess his name should technically be Poly B. USR then, huh?)

Poly's text quirk is replacing letters with numbers and basically talking in text speak. You can see it a bit in the actual picture, but basically it's like

"W3LC0M3 N3W US3R!" "R34DY PL4Y3R 1! PR3SS ST4RT 2 B3G1N." "U W4NT 2 PL4Y 1T. U W1LL PL4Y 1T. U W1LL PL4Y 1T!" or something like that.

The soul mode he uses is the blue soul since he's a platformer game.

Pretty much immediately after I determined that Fool's Fate Chapter 2 was gonna be set in an arcade, I knew I had to base the secret boss off of Polybius. I find it funny that @grimmdeltarune and I had the same idea for a secret boss concept independently.

Backstory under the cut

Poly used to be the most beloved and played game in all of the Arcade World. A simple 3D platformer, yet Lightners would come from far and wide to play his game. Everyone loved Poly, everyone wanted to be him, his game play was near addicting. Even if other cabinets in the arcade would come and eventually get replaced by newer one's, Poly's stood tall, never being dethroned since the day it was brought in.

That was until one day, a new player, or rather players, entered the game.

Electric Rhythm Empire, a new rhythm game with three primary characters. The Empress, the Emperor, and their daughter Ritsu. They quickly dethroned Poly in popularity both among Darkners and Lightners, and eventually Poly was completely forgotten about in favor of the more popular game.

That was until Poly met a man. A strange someone who revealed secrets to Poly that no Darkner should know, and promised to help Poly regain his popularity and crown. All Poly had to do was let the man modify some of his code and soon he would be irresistible to Lightner and Darkner alike. Poly agreed.

Just as the man promised, Poly's cabinet started to get played again. Anyone who came near became too addicted to stop, quite literally hypnotized into playing Poly's game. Thanks to the strange someone's help, Poly was popular again.

As soon as the man left though, those in power figured out about the harmful effects of Poly's game. In the Light World, Lightner kids would fight violently over who would play next and it was making people ill. In the Dark World, Poly was hypnotizing Darkners into liking him. Not to mention the corruption of his code.

And so, Poly's game was shut down and he was shunned from the rest of the Arcade world. Forced to live in the deepest, darkest corner of the world and be forgotten once again. Poly though, refused to stand for this. He was determined to make his game even better, and so then no one could stop playing again. He'd force any Darkner that came near to play what was essentially a death trap, and when they'd fail, he'd just make it "better". Trying to make it perfect so maybe one day another Lightner would look his way.

Eventually, a group of Lightner kids did stumble upon him after falling into the Arcade World.

--------

Ah I love Poly's backstory. It might be semi similar to Spamton's, but I pulled more from King Candy from Wreck-It Ralph now that I've put it to text.

He's just a silly little guy driven to insanity by the need to be perfect! If you don't play his game, he will hypnotize you into playing!

((That's Hatner, isn't it? ... Yes it is. Okay let's see here...

Prediction Bosses

Bitsy -- I think once in DMs I said how Bitsy would react to Cactusy, but not Sheriff Timstern or Hatner. I think in general, Bitsy is suspicious of any "friends", but is often too polite to say anything unless the "friend" is rude or does something malicious towards children. And considering how Hatner wanted Timstern to kill the Lightners... Yeah. Though, technically Bitsy did also try to kill them, all the secret bosses did. Bit hypocritical there Ms. Bitsy.

Elymas -- Elymas's reaction to Hatner is much the same as their reaction to many people. Which is arrogant superiority. Elymas doesn't care about Hatner, and they think they're better than him. I bet the bird would change their tune if Hatner ever tried to possess them though.

Veratus -- Being a toy solider, Veratus has a wind-up key which can be used to control him. Not the same as a "friend" but I still feel the solider would have sympathy for Timstern, and despise Hatner. If the hat ever comes close to the rat, he's pulling out his rapier and attempting to slash the "friend" to pieces. I doubt he would succeed.

Fool's Fate Bosses

Dorothy -- This ragdoll's head is only fit for a crown. Meaning if Hatner gets too close then Dorothy will try to stab him with pins and needles. Her voice is already a stitched together mash up of other people's dialogue, she doesn't need some voice box "friend" tangling that up more.

Poly -- I'm not sure if Hatner even wants to come near Poly. He's a corrupted 3D platformer character from a defunct arcade game. His code is a mess and he looks very jank. Would Hatner even want to control that? Could he even control Poly in a way that wouldn't go haywire after two seconds?

Casper -- Casper, like Timstern, also has a "friend". Just while Timstern's is a hat/voice box, Casper's is a maraca egg parasite sewn inside the stuffed cat's body. Rattler, as I'm calling Casper's "friend", would not like Hatner, and would be very protective of it's host. Meanwhile Casper is largely unaware of Rattler, and I feel Rattler would keep it that way and not allow Casper to truly meet Hatner.

Noir -- I feel the Detective would be largely remain neutral about Hatner, and any "friends" he comes across. Mostly wishing to observe and try to piece together Hatner's intentions and/or origins. Trying to dissect all of the "friend's" secrets. He would not share his findings with anyone.
