Inversetale

Inversetale (also stylized as Inverse!tale) is an AU created by user "ausiepark," and was originally published as a self-insert AU on Quotev by ausiepark's account @witchofthewestcoast for the purpose of a fanfiction. Since then, the AU has shifted to a fully fledged AU project with no self-insert pieces.
Inversetale follows the "what-if" scenario in which humans lost the war after a brutal attack on monster-kind, and as punishment, were banished to hundreds of underground colonies scattered across North America. The story follows the Inversetale version of Frisk, a young girl named Angel, who is a member of the first underground human colony, "Colony" or "Underground One."
After her colony begins to run out of supplies, Angel becomes determined to save her people and venture past the man-made barrier to the surface, where she discovers that her colony has lied to her. The surface, now welcoming the humans who had emerged from their colonies years before, was not war-ridden or destroyed by monsters...it was a haven. That is, until the humans declare another war on monster kind, this time determined to win.
Changes to this Fandom page will be updated in semi-progression of the story.

=== Major Characters ===
==== Angel (Frisk) ====
Angel, who primarily takes the place of Frisk (and is much older than them, at around 18 to 19 years old) is a young colony-member who escapes Underground One. She is compassionate, curious, and kind, but her downfall is that she can be terribly reckless and impulsive.
==== Sans ====
Sans is a surface-dweller and resident of Haven City, and a retired scientific-advisor for the Royal Military. Currently, he is an advisor at Haven College as apart of his recovery program after a horrible incident while being employed by the Royal Military left him blind in one eye. He enjoys puns and deflecting his trauma.
==== Papyrus ====
Papyrus is a surface-dweller and part-time resident of Haven City. He was recruited for the Royal Guard's training program, and now lives half-in and half-out of the city, spending the rest of his time at the Royal Guard outpost close to the Palace. Compared to his canonical counterpart, Inverse!Papyrus is considerably more mature, a skilled fighter, and soft-spoken.
==== Queen Toriel ====
Toriel is a surface-dweller, mother of Prince Asriel, and the wife of King Asgore. Together with her husband, they rule over Haven City and the surrounding areas. Toriel is kind, careful, but dangerously skilled. Currently, her relationship with her husband has been put under strain while tensions rise between their kingdom and the neighboring one. In the meantime, Toriel visits Haven College and attends various meetings.
==== King Asgore ====
Asgore is a surface-dweller, father of Prince Asriel, and the husband of Toriel. He rules over Haven City and the surrounding areas with his wife. He is a gentle giant, but puts diplomacy and the kingdom above all else. He is consistently occupied with his work, and has grown increasingly stressed while attempting to deal with border tensions.
==== Prince Asriel ====
Asriel, or Asriel Dreemur, is a surface-dweller and son of the King and Queen. He spends most of his time with his mother, and attending numerous classes, along with her diplomatic meetings. He is kind and curious, but extremely cautious. He does not like talking much, and is selectively mute.
==== Alphys ====
Alphys is a surface-dweller and resident of Haven City. She is the full-time royal scientist, who used to work closely with Sans. She is incredibly smart, but is also extremely nervous. There is not much difference between herself and her canonical counterpart, other than the fact that instead of being an anime and manga fan (as these things do not exist on the Surface), Alphys enjoys historical retellings and classic literature from the pre-war era.
==== Undyne ====
Undyne (or Undyne the Undying) is a surface-dweller and part-time resident of Haven City. She is Head of the Royal Guard and has been training Papyrus one-on-one. Undyne is charismatic and loud, but is considerably less reckless than her canonical counterpart. She is arguably the most skilled fighter within the kingdom, and she takes it upon herself to act as something of a police force.
==== Chara ====
Chara is a surface-dweller and resident of the Neighboring Kingdom. They are the child of The Lord, a diplomatic leader from the Neighboring Kingdom. They are brash and apathetic, and they show little-to-no sympathy towards monster-kind. They are extremely loyal to their father, even going so far as to learn dark-magic in order to appease their father's wishes.
==== The Lord ====
The Lord is a surface-dweller and resident of the Neighboring Kingdom. The Lord is a diplomatic advisor to the Neighboring Kingdom, working closely with the unknown king. Not much is known about him, although he has made it clear that he has a distaste for monsters.
== Trivia ==
* Angel primarily uses she/her pronouns throughout the story, but while underground uses they/them almost exclusively.
* While Frisk's soul trait is 'Determination', Angel's is 'Tenacity' and instead of a bright red color, her soul is a dull maroon.
