RGB!DELTASHIFT: MAIN SHIFTS
Ok! Sorry for the delay, but I'm ready to share more of my AU with you guys! Yes, all the Undertale shifts will carry over to this take.
Replacement -> Role
Sans and Papyrus -> Asgore and Toriel:
Sans used to be a lawyer, until he was suspected of using forged evidence during the Holidays investigation
He now runs his own supermarket, although not many people visit nowadays
Is continuing his investigations, whether he like it or not, because he believes it's his duty to prove his client's innocence to make up for their false imprisonment
Papyrus is "your" landlord, who's been distant from Sans since the other became obsessed with the case, but he still cared for his wellbeing
He'd rather forget about all that thought, and try to "move on"
Papyrus's probably a cop? idk, I haven't put much thought into context and shit
Asgore and Toriel -> Alphys and Undyne:
Toriel's now the head lawyer of Hometown's local jurisdiction, although nowadays she's more busy with paperwork than actually defending the innocent.
Asgore's a biology professor at Hometown High
Not much to say bc they don't do much
Alphys and Undyne -> Napstablook and Mettaton:
Alphys's a law graduate who's just started work at Toriel's law firm
She's not very confident in herself, with her inexperience compared to everyone else there and the pressure of being their only source of income
I sure hope her mentor can stick around to help!
The only reason I could see Undyne staying at home for is her having some chronic illness/mobility difficulty that makes it difficult for her to find work, so Alphys kinda has to be the breadwinner
She desperately wants to help Alphys and do her fair share of work, despite her own limitations, and hopes to one day be able to help and support those around her
Napstablook and Mettaton -> Asriel and Chara:
Napstablook was imprisoned for the assumed death and disappearance of Rudy Holiday
None of their family believe it was them
This is the case that Sans was accused of forgery and has since been trying to figure out
Mettaton, much like Chara in Deltarune, does not exist and cannot hurt you
Asriel and Chara -> Papyrus and Sans:
The Dreemurr kids have just returned from college, and have moved back in with their parents while trying to find work
Chara has opted to running a flower shop, inspired by their father's love for plants
They're also the weird biology nerd that loves weaponizing their degree to scare folks, whether through fake organs/gore or off-putting biology facts
Asriel? He studied Computer Science because he wanted to be a game developer but.... he's busy...
Also Flowey is Gaster. Problem is I don't know who to pair either of them up with.
