family photo, c. 2006. the image seems to have been manipulated.
lore below:
Spamton and Tenna were still in their "Big Shot" era when Kris entered their lives, but by the time of this photo being taken, Spamton was feeling the pressure from "the voice on the phone" and he was beginning to withdraw. You can't see it here, but their relationship was getting strained.
The baby from the pipis egg is Miku. Her Flavor Foley Static design didn't really fit Starune's look, so I modeled her after popular baby pipis designs on Tumblr.
This was taken a year after Kris disappeared from the Light World.
Tenna was still dressing and acting like his canon self during this time. Once Spamton left, he spiraled and became more tyrannical in his rule of TV City—soon to become TV Kingdom.
A revamp of Kris' design from Star-Rune (aka Starune, whatever flows better). Thought process + lore below:
the more I thought about it, the more I wanted Kris to be energetic, animated, and kind of obnoxious; a total 180 from their canon personality in Deltarune.
Being raised by Tenna, constantly showered in praise and attention and given anything they asked for...of course they'd end up the complete opposite of canon Kris. They're still a prankster, though.
In Starune, Tenna and Kris take the chronological place of King and Lancer, haha. Tenna is a tyrant (I wouldn't say he's totally *evil* because I couldn't imagine him being that way) who rules over TV World and broadcasts himself 24/7. Kris is Tenna's immature progeny, so I made their outfit Ouji-esque to show that. They're also an actor who has a Distinct Persona, much like a charismatic ruler.
Like Lancer, Kris' first move is to intimidate and attack the Lightners, so that they'll have no choice but to become their "ADORING FANS!!!". Secretly, Kris wants to befriend them and leave for the Light World. Tenna has tried to forbid ANYTHING related to the Light World for all their lives, but they crave the [ FREEDOM ] that it promises.
I tried to visually tie them to Tenna with a couple of details, like the wires on their belt, the dinky tenna buckle, stars, etc. Fun fact the little sheath on their belt is for their microphone!!! they must have misplaced it in the drawing...oh well, Mike will surely get them another one!!!
Kris figured out "Mike"'s real identity a long time ago and uses this to their advantage. They often blackmail the Mikes for things they want to have or happen that Tenna won't give them: a new show, a bigger stage, a cool outfit, pyrotechnics, a [ computer ]. Kris isn't afraid to use their status and authority to get what they want, and if they don't get what they want....they get SCAREY!!!! haha
Kris uses the [ computer ] to connect with the Light World and learn about it. They use the name [ appl3 ] when going on forums. On one forum they started talking to [ holidaygirl1225 ]...
