And how about a Witcher in postapo AU, something like a combination of Resident Evil, Mad Max and maybe a bit of Universal Soldier?
I know my English is shit but just hear me out.
The war is hanging on a continent, the Nilfgaard Empire is arming itself to attack the North Union. The North Union is setting up a team of scientists to create genetically modified soldiers to fight the forces of the Empire. They manage to create a small squad of super soldiers, but there is a split among scientists. Some of them withdraw due to moral dilemmas (human experiments). The military-scientific corporation - Salamandra - is also withdrawing from the project after corporation president Jacques de Aldersberg and chief scientist Azar Javed disappear in mysterious circumstances.
Meanwhile, a mysterious virus called Catriona is turning on the military front, transforming people into zombies, which significantly weakens the strength of the Northern Union. Nilfgaard conquers Cintra and enters Temeria - Velen, and nobody knows what's really going on there. But there are rumors that in Velen was seen Catriona infected people who have kept consciousness and intelligence. Velen becomes no man's land overrun by zombies. The virus stops both armies in place. So Nilfgaard begins to cross north through Lyria and Rivia.
At the same time, Temerian spies learn about a virus-resistant girl who is in Cintra (Ciri ofc). Secretly from Nilfgaard, they want to transport her to Redania and get a vaccine from her. Unfortunately about the girl and her escort (Blue Stripes) hearing is lost at the border of Temria, Redania and Aedirn. Councilor Foltest decides to send two teams of genetically modified soldiers. One is to find a girl, the other to escort scientists to Velen to take samples for research and find out what is actually going on there.
Council of the Northern Union:
Foltest - chairman of the council, is murdered along with Demavend as a result of the Nilfgaard conspiracy. After his death, Nilfgaard entered Lyria and Rivia as well as Temeria and conquered Vizima. Major fights are currently underway there.
Radovid - After Foltest's death, he takes over the chairmanship of the Council. He puts all the major scientists in jail, he doesn't allow anyone to work on the antidote to Catriona on his own, he wants to control the drug and thereby gain more power. He orders the murder of Henselt, who is the greatest threat to him after the death of Foltest and Demavend.
Demavend - murdered together with Foltest as a result of Nilfgaard's plots. After his death, the self-proclaimed leader Saskia and her guerrillas led by Iorveth take over Aedirn.
Henselt - murdered at Radovid's orders, was a serious candidate for chairman of the Council after the deaths of Foltest and Demavend.
Calanthe - she was the first to die as a result of Nilfgaard's actions, after her death Nilfgaard took over Cintra.
Meve - She took an active part in fighting on the front, disappeared on the battlefield, her fate is unknown.
Esterad Thyssen - after death of Foltest and Demavend, he broke the pact with the Union, trying to cut off Kovir and Poviss from the war. He secretly granted asylum to the scientists wanted by Radovid, funded their vaccine research, and continued research on genetically modified soldiers.
Genetically modified soldiers, commonly called Witchers Squad.
Wolf Team - The main strike team, the most stable, consisting of experienced soldiers. Soldiers included in the project of their own free will. Their specialization is close combat, on an open fire. They were to escort the second Witcher Team and scientists to Velen and then set out to look for Blue Stripes and Ciri. In Velen they learned that the girl and her escort had been taken to Vergen.
Wolf Team members:
Vesemir - Team commander. He served earlier in the Kaedwenian Army, joined the program on a volunteer basis.
Geralt - served earlier under Vesemir in the Kaedwenian Army. Together with Vesemir he volunteered for the program.
Eskel - served earlier under Vesemir in the Kaedwenian Army. Together with Vesemir he volunteered for the program.
Lambert - selected from recruits from the Kaedwen military academy, the youngest member of the team. He was against the program, but he joined it because his friend did.
Berengar - previously served in the military corporation Salamandra, was a volunteer from them who took part in the experiment. He had an episode in the Kaedwenian Army; he knew Vesemir before. He turns out to be a double agent acting on the orders of Salamandra. Eventually, he turns away from the corporation and remained loyal to the Team.
_______
Cat Team - Quite unstable team, it consists of people whose genes were highly susceptible to mutations. They come from social margins and mercenaries, they joined the project for a good pay. A light mobile group, they specialize in long-range combat (snipers), scouting, and are able to get into buildings that are difficult to access (parkour). Their task was to escort scientists to Velen and care for their safety. They also had a secret mission from Radovid.
Cat Team members:
Jad Karadin - Team commander, he previously worked as a mercenary. After reaching Velen and separating from the Wolf Team he betrayed the scientists along with Brehen and Gaetan. He was ordered to take over the research and notes and deliver it to Radovid with the scientists. Karadin also murdered Henselt on Radovid's orders.
Gaetan - Former mercenary. Along with Karadin and Brehen betrays scientists at the behest of Radovid.
Brehen - Former mercenary and thief. Together with Karadin and Gaetan betrays scientists at the behest of Radovid.
Aiden - the only member of the team from the military academy (the same as Lambert), joined the project because he needed money. Together with Kiyan, he tried to protect scientists from the rest of his team. The scientists managed to escape, but their research was taken over, and Aiden was captured by Karadin and handed over to Radovid. Radovid's scientists made experiments on Aiden and Kyian later.
Kiyan - along with Aiden tried to protect scientists from the rest of his team. He was also captured and handed over to Radovid. Radovid's scientists made experiments on him and Aiden later.
_______
Viper Team - A team of former prisoners and criminals, included in the project in exchange for amnesty. They specialize in infiltration and assassinations.
Viper Team members:
Kolgrim - Team commander, as the only one in the team was not a criminal. He previously commanded the security service of the Council of the North Union. He believed in his team, considered them fully resocialized. His and his team's call was to protect Councilors, unfortunately he was betrayed, and as a result Foltest and Demavend were killed.
Letho - A former prisoner and criminal. Along with Serrit and Egan, he was bribed by Nilfgaard and killed Foltest and Demavend.
Serrit - A former prisoner and criminal. Along with Letho and Egan, he was bribed by Nilfgaard and killed Foltest and Demavend.
Egan - A former prisoner and criminal. Along with Letho and Serrit, he was bribed by Nilfgaard and killed Foltest and Demavend.
Ivar Evil-Eye - Former prisoner, truly resocialized, Kolgrim's right hand. He and his commander tried to prevent the assassination attempt on Foltest and Demavenda, but they failed.
______
Griffin Team - a group of super soldiers appointed secretly by Esterad Thyssen. It included: Coen, George and Jerome. Later, Kolgirm and Ivar joined them. Their task was to secretly find missing scientists and find a cure for Catriona. Much later they join forces with the Wolf Team and openly oppose Radovid.
The Temerian secret service team delegated to bring Ciri - a girl resistant to Catriona - from Cintra to Redania. They broke through Velen and arrived in Ellander to the border with Redania and Aedirn. There, unfortunately, they were taken over by Iorveth's guerrillas and taken to Vergen. The team includes: Vernon Roche, Ves, Thaler, Thirteen, Fenn and Silas. The Wolf Team followed them.
Salamandra
The military-scientific corporation, at the request of the North Union, began a project of genetically modified soldiers. The head of the corporation was Jacques de Aldersberg, and the main scientist was Azar Javed. They both disappeared in mysterious circumstances. Then it turned out that they were behind the chaos in Velen, they wanted to create a new race of super people that would replace humanity. Wolf Team and Cat Team encounter their mutants in Velen, they are forced to fight them. For some time Salamandra worked with Radovid to help him take over the Union, but eventually Aldersberg had different ambitions and acted on his own.
Scientists Team
Yennefer, Triss and Keira - all three participated in the project to create genetically modified soldiers as a team of independent scientists. They gave up because they didn't like Salamandra method. After being removed from the project, they were sent to Velen for research purposes. After the Wolf Team separated from them, the Cat Team betrayed and the women had to escape. They managed to escape with the help of Aiden and Kiyan, but two soldiers were captured. During escape the women separated. After returning Vergen, Wolf Team manages to find in Velen Keira, who has acquired the necessary components to create an antidote to Catriona without Ciri. The fate of Yennefer and Triss is unknown (for now ;> ).
This is just a sketch and in fact it all arose in my head only so that I would have a good excuse to set Witchers in post-apocalyptic realities and clothing and arm them with modern military equipment. Because I think they would look really good at it. You know, this is how the spinster's afternoon fantasies look like ;)
I haven't figured out a plot for Ciri and what happens to her after reaching Vergen. Somewhere here should also appear Avallac'h and Eredin, but I gave up. I don't plan to write it anyway. Speculation about this AU was just for fun.
I’m also sorry for all the mistakes I have made, I don’t write very well in English and this is a lot of text. I certainly wrote something stupid, but I don't know where...
so, people (hrmhrmThaneCalistaSevnissAndAWholeLotOfOtherPeoplehrmhrm) told me this was good enough to publish.
If people likes it enough, i’ll probably make the rest !
This is my UT AU (postapo ? anyone remembers XD ?) that is as of yet still unnamed (but you can search the design sketch under #postapoAU if you’re interested.
Postapo Frisk and Chara with The explorer and the traveler requested by @ayahne! i’m not quite sure if Chara’s design was right or not but glad it turned out great! I arrived at sydney this morning and boi my butt hurts like hell. Glad to see my sister doing well and soon gonna go around town to explore stuff :DD
THIS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING @a-random-fandom-friend has listened to me deblatering my bullshit about my fanfiction postapo AU even though they are not in the undertale fandom, and accepted to gracefully do this aesthetical thing for free and...
It’s perfect. I mean, that’s the exact atmosphere of the fanfiction i’m writing. If you want a sneak peek into the fanfiction/project, this is p e r f e c t.
I FINNALLY FINISHED THEIR DESIGN WOOOOH. (but why cant we see the background ? Mystery. IRL you can see it)
SO.
Undyne has understood the simple concept of LAYERS = LIFE.
Since she was already cold in Snowdin i thought she would freeze in that volcanic winter. So no more metalic armor for her, and welcome silk and synthetic & waterproof clothes !
She’s got silk clothes, 2 layers of it, leather wrappings she has to replace often because she doesn’t know eskimo leather (tssk-tssk). Over this she has the light blue “suit” that you can lace or unlace depending on the temperature and when you are, and the vest that is a more intense blue.
Sans has a very simple “armor”. He’s lazy. So i had to not make to much things. 1 thermolactyl shirt he found somewhere and a jumper (pull-over ?). A vest over that, and a furr cape.
Both their faces/body designs absolutly doesn’t change from the game, only the clothes ^^
BONUS !
I try to be the more precise i can in my outfits, with things you and i could actually wear in those situations. So i often ask my friends their opinions. I asked my good friend @asil-norahc what she thought Sans would wear. She drew the first one. I laughed a lot and asked her to detail her thought, and she took it as a dare to do worse. She DID. The sheer ugliness of the thing is awesome.
MORE ABOUT THEIR PERSONALITIES UNDER THE CUT !
Undyne is the version of herself you can find in a neutral genocide if you kill Paps. Sans is a lazy-sentry for the monster HQ... usually. He has been known for the King to send him with Undyne in particularly risky missions. Sans isn’t a fan of those (causse it implies he has to do something. He’s not a fan.).
Undyne and Sans had... a very neutral relationship at first. Then they bonded a little about their love for Paps. And one day, Paps was hurt by a group of survivng humans. When he got back to the camp, they took care of him, and then agreed silently to slaughter those that had did this. They did. After that, they became friends and officialized a “working-partnership” (idk how to say that in english XD). It works well, cause Undyne prefer working alone most of the time. When she needs help, she calls him.
He’s happy she doesn’t needs help 99% of the time.
An illustration of the postapo AU fic i’m writing. New ref sheet is coming soon ^^
So, since everone surviving in europe is living underground in Paris catacombs, houses are small and shared. For exemple, Frisk live with Napstablook on a small two-rooms in the Quartier Marchand (Trading Block). The trading block is also the closest to the main entry of the catacombs, so, sometimes, if people of Frisk unit (or Chara or Asriel) are tired, they crash at their house.
Other pictures are Muffet and Napstablook design. Don’t mind the geometrical patterns, i was trying out things at the time eheh.
Muffet and Blooky are ‘besties’ ^^
Even if she doesn’t need it, Muffet has a fuckton of knives on her.
