Some minor things about personalities

Been thinking about the personalities of the characters. By no means do I want to do any drastic changes. I love the characters, and don’t want to mess them up. But, I think for this AU, some small twinks will help them all be more dragon like.

Like always: Questions, Suggestions, and Comments about this or other aspects of this AU are always welcome!

Asgore: He was the first that made me think of this. I consider Dragon King Asgore having a slight aggressive edge. He is king, after all, and most likely had to compete for the rights to that title. But, he is still gentle hearted, and the sweet fluff monster we all know and love. Just don’t cross him or mess with his little ones. He’s not one to start of fight, but he sure will end it... And in his anger and grief, he will, without hesitation, declare war against human kind. Just, normal Asgore, but would react to getting pushed by the human with a disciplining smack upside the head.

Toriel: She’s pretty much the same, just more aloof. If you’re not young and/or helpless there is a good chance she wants nothing to do with you. She is smart, witty, quick with a joke, pun, or riddle; but she is not keen on socializing. This trait only got worse after leaving her long time mate, Asgore, for the Ruins.

Sans: In this AU, there are a lot of dangerous things that would attack the human, and even a dragon. Especially if the dragon is smaller than most, and has a weak defense. Sans with his 1 in every stat is an easy target, and when he isn’t around his brother, Toriel, or in the safety of his lair, he can be a little jumpy. Not the the extreme, though, but he is alert. (And if you put a cucumber behind him, when he isn’t paying attention, when he sees it he would jump.) Still, he has a calm, cool, demeanor which masks his alert nature. He’s still prone to random naps, but will do so in a position he could easily bolt from, or hidden among a pile of bones.

Mettaton: I wouldn’t change much from him, other than his prideful behaviors have a more sophisticated edge to them. He is a dragon with high standards.

Alphys: I wouldn’t change much, story would explain why she seems to lack some dragon traits. But I would say, she is proud of her hoard and would be inclined to show it to the human.

Undyne: She is still loud, stomps around, prone to outbursts. But with her bio-luminescence, when she is “hunting,” she is surprisingly stealthy, and very deadly.

Papyrus: ... nothing, Pap is the perfect dragon the way he is. Granted, he could afford to have some typical dragon laziness. (I’m sure Sans would appreciate it) But I don’t think he would be as fun if he did. ...maybe he sleeps... like longer than a nap sleep. Maybe a 6 hour rest period of sleep every other week or something.

Only One Of You

This is a one shot, short story for Talontale. I started it yesterday when I was having trouble with writing, and just finished it earlier today.

Only One Of You

By: Topaz Shadowwolf A Talontale fan fiction Talontale is an Undertale AU Undertale is owned by Toby Fox

Characters: Sans and Toriel (strong hint of Soriel) Summary: Sans promised to go flying with Toriel, but he’s feeling unwell.

The sun shone into the lair, and the breeze that floated in hinted that today was a beautiful day for flying. He had promised Toriel he would join her today, like he normally does. They’ve done this enough times that she really didn't need to ask; nor, he need to promise, but it’s just tradition now. He didn’t know why she liked having him around, he was slower and tired out before she does. When he could no longer keep up she lets him land on her back, and she carries him as he doses off. Some flying companion he is, he could barely stay awake the whole time; yet, she still asks.

Sans felt obligated to join her, since he said he would; but his head felt heavy and shocks of pain shot through it on random intervals. Add in the fact that he somehow had a cough, despite not having a respiratory tract, and he didn’t feel well enough to go flying. He wondered if he got another hour of sleep if he would feel better. Judging by where the light was shining in he did have a while longer before he needed to leave.

As he turned his head away from the light, trying to protect his closed eye sockets from it, he curled up tighter. He was feeling… well, he wasn’t exactly sure, but he thinks it’s cold. How that is can happen, he isn’t sure; but, he tucked his limbs as tightly as he could to his ribcage, hoping to conserve as much of the warmth his soul produced as possible. The desire to go back to sleep got stronger, and his tail wrapped around him. None of this was unfamiliar, as he had been sick before, but he hoped that is a wrong assessment. All he really wanted right now was to feel well in time to meet up with Tori.

When he woke again he was shivering to the point that his bones were rattling. Further rest felt impossible as they were starting to hurt from clacking together. It took a while for him to remember what he wanted to do today, as trying to think was like trying to swim through mud. All of his thoughts seemed to be preoccupied by how uncomfortable he was. A sound caught his attention, momentarily cutting through his misery, and he turned his head to see what it was.

There, looking in at him, was Toriel. Normally he loved looking at her glossy, pearl white fur shining in the sun light, but it made him wince today. It hurt to look at her, for more ways than one. First was the obvious, his aching skull currently did not like looking at anything bright. Second was not so obvious, and that was that he knew his feelings for her, and doubted she felt the same for him, especially with how he must look currently. And third, she was here because he overslept. He failed to meet her when and where they planned, and he felt ashamed. Since leaving the dome he had been trying hard to be more active and dependable; of all the dragons to let down, he wished it hadn’t been her.

Before she could say anything he quickly stood, and the world started to spin around him. His magic lurched within him in displeasure while his limbs gave out on him. With that, he fell to the ground with a clatter. Embarrassed by the pathetic act he just performed for Tori, he said, “sorry.” It hurt to speak due to his magic having a coarseness to it, which was reflected in his voice.

“Oh, my dear friend,” she had moved quickly into the lair, and was already beside him, “no need for that.” He shivered again, and she coiled around him, offering her shoulder for him to lean his head against. “Where is your brother?” She asked as she covered him with her tail, using it like a fluffy blanket.

“went on a 3 day trip with undyne to the ocean last night. i was feeling fine when he left…,” it was a partial lie. He did feel a little off, but he made sure not to let that show. Papyrus needed a break, and a chance to be with friends, without worrying about his elder brother. Besides, he didn’t feel sick then, just a little more tired than usual. He had no idea this was going to be the end result.

“Well, you're not fine now, that’s for sure,” Toriel said, looking his face over, “Have you eaten anything?”

Sans just shook his head and he could feel Toriel sighing as her chest expanded and retracted against his side. Looking up at her, he tried to acting better than he felt, “besides, i’m not really that hungry. anyway, you wanted to go flying-”

He was cut off as her tail flipped up and covered his head, “you are in no condition to go flying, and you need to eat.”

“but I said that I would,” his word meant a lot to him. If a dragon can’t keep their word, or promises, what’s the point of making them?

“We can, but when you are better,” she said. He wanted to say something in response, but started coughing. Toriel pulled him in tighter, to help support him. When coughing fit ended he nuzzled his aching skull into her shoulder. “There will be plenty of days to fly, but I have only one of you, my dear friend.”

Chuckling softly, Sans smiled, “thanks, tori.”

Update and Announcement

Okay, the announcement first. I have... I have started writing a TalonTale story... Chapters will be short, updates spaced out due to other projects taking priority. And I if there was any question, yes, Soriel will be a thing.

Now the updates are for Toriel, Asgore, and dragon Asriel

Toriel and Asgore = Falcor/eastern style dragons. Falcor was my inspiration for them, though with traits that define them. Like goat horns that are pure white. Their fur normally white and has a pearly sheen. In the right light they can make them stand out and shimmer when flying. This can be controlled though, and their coats can take a matted looked and even darken for camouflage. When upset (for example: angry, sad, depressed) their fur will lose the glossy look and also gray. The longer they are upset or the more upset they are the darker it gets until they look like a stormy sky. When they roar it is like thunder, stunning most foes and causing the earth to tremble. They are capable of sitting on clouds, and are dragons that prefer being in the sky. They can let their magic flow into the cloud they are on to allow a friend or ally to sit with them. Toriel: has a white pearly sheen and deep red eyes. Asgore: has a golden cream pearly look to his coat, golden beard and mane, eyes are a dark red with some orange to it. Asriel: Silvery pearly look to his fur, and bright red eyes. (Older Asriel's black markings still have a pearly look to, but it is rainbow colored.)

A few things I want to say:

1. While I will claim TalonTale, I am opening up content creation to fans of AU. I do plan on writing my own story/stories eventually, but right now I’m a bit busy. The only thing I really ask is that any major details that define this AU stay the same. So, if there is one or two little things you dislike about my ideas for this AU you don’t need to follow them. Or if you want to just write a story or create some art that stands out from the rest by making a few alterations, again, that is fine.

2. If you do create anything Talontale related let me know so I can reblog or link it. (I don’t think I need to say this, but just in case: Please bare in mind this is TalonTALE. If it falls into the “tail” category I’d rather not read or see it. I will not be reblogging or linking it. I would like to keep this blog around the “teen” rating.)

3. I do not plan on doing any kind of ask story, or anything like that, but for now I will allow direct asks to characters. This allows both you and me get a better understanding of them. (All ask will be answered in the time before Frisk, still working on that one) And, of course, you can always just ask me if it is a general question.

[talontaleau]

Had a thought, want some opinions. Would it be cool if sea dragon Undyne’s red areas were able to light up with bio luminescence? They could even flicker when she is angry, or something like that.

[talontaleau]

Welcome!

Undertale + Dragons = Greatness!

Feel free to start sending asks about it so I can world build.

The goal is to set this up, and then let people run with this while slowly creating our own content for it. This is a project started by @topazshadowwolf and helped along with by @upperstories.

[talontaleau]

World:

Here is what we have so far of the world. There will be more to come, but this is a start. Feel free to ask about specifics.

Instead of being underground the dragons live under a dome like sky in an alternative plane. The humans made this dome/barrier that can only be broken with seven human souls. Humans forced them into this place due to their skill with red magic (obviously determination). There is a path way leading from the normal world and this alternative plane that humans can travel through. Toriel lives within this path along with some smaller, weaker, species of dragons. She hopes to protect any wandering human from her ex-mates wrath.

There are different areas in the alternate plane. There is  a snowy area with a forest, a forest/swamp with bioluminescent plants to provide light, a volcano surrounded by dry, cracked land and lava, and lastly a tall mountain where the king lives at the peak. Although it is spacious, it is still not big enough to happily support all the dragons.

The “dump” is where items that humans tried to place in a dimensional pocket, bag, or space and failed. A lot of random loot from dungeons show up here, from adventurers with glitched dimensional bags.

To light this world is an artificial sun that also gives off magical energy that the dragons can absorb naturally through being in the sun light. The creator of this sun is unknown.

Oh, and dragons rumble when happy. Which is, kinda a weird mix between a cat purr and crocodile rumble.
