Knowledgeful!Asgore

(Author's Note: Sup ya'll, finally made a page after literally not contributing for many months. This is an OC that I thought of a while back, but never had the motivation to make a page for, but now, finally, here I am.)
== Story ==
Our story begins in an Undertale timeline where a certain 7th human never fell down, and thus the monsters were never freed.
This allowed the monster civilization to grow beyond what was imaginable. They were able to acquire new knowledge not only of humans, but also themselves as they made more big discoveries. At the forefront of this wave of knowledge was King Asgore, ruler of all monsterkind, as well as Dr. Alphys, the appointed Royal Scientist and leader of a team of researchers, which included some of the smartest monsters in the underground.
All this time that was passing finally encouraged Toriel, ex-wife of Asgore and former Queen of monsterkind, to finally come out of the Ruins and experience the joys of freedom once more. While Asgore and Toriel never got back together, they remained friends as Toriel respected Asgore for the great things he was doing for monsterkind.
Everything was going well, until an unfortunate discovery was made. You see, since Frisk never fell down, Alphys never admitted her past mistakes to the people, and kept the Amalgamates hidden from the world. That was until a group of excavators who were researching the minerals that could be found in Hotland, when they accidentally drilled into Alphys' secret lab, and discovered the truth Alphys was hiding. King Asgore, while furious, did not take any horrible action, and instead demoted Alphys from her Royal Scientist position.
However, as new technologies were just over the horizon, he became paranoid of any other information Alphys may have been hiding, and went down into Alphys' not-so-secret-anymore lab to investigate. He expected to find some great piece of machinery or technology that could blast monsterkind into a more futuristic era, but instead found the jumbled mess that are the secret messages along the wall, as well as a stack of papers which look like they were there since before Alphys was Royal Scientist, but were at such a location so that Asgore himself would eventually find them. 
Curious to what this whole ordeal meant, he found himself secretly studying the papers, trying to decipher any code that may be hidden within. Finally, after weeks of isolation and hard-work, something in his mind snapped, and he realized something he's never realized before. He wasn't at all sure what his realization really was, but he did find himself visioning a tall black and white, almost ghostly figure, who gave Asgore knowledge of how his world really works.
Asgore was violently snapped back to reality, taking little damage, and with a mind full of information know one would ever be prepared to know. He knew about it all, the way his world worked like a game, how a 7th Human was supposed to fall, but didn't, the fact that even a single being with a great enough power could destroy them, and the fact no one, not a SINGLE BEING had true control over their actions. Asgore was horrified, distraught, and on the verge of insanity. 
He completely isolated himself from others, trying to find a way to learn more about this subject, but failing in every way. Even Toriel herself went to go check on him, but all he did was turn down any act of kindness she tried to give. "Why would anything matter?" he thought, everything he had worked to achieve crumbling around him. 
Monsterkind continued to flourish without him, all content with what they were achieving, but not Asgore, as he knew the real truth.
== Appearance ==
Knowledgeful!Asgore has an appearance quite similar to the original Asgore, with his golden armor, crown, and waving cape, though there are some changes. For one, his signature Trident is replaced with a glowing Staff to represent his change in nature and authority. His armor also lacks the DeltaRune symbol, as it was abandoned for the monsters have forgotten all about the legend, and instead focused on moving forward. 
When he's researching, he will ditch his armor and instead put on a white coat, complete with many pockets to house different scientific instruments.
After his encounter, his appearance became more slouched and saggy, with deep purple bags under his eyes. His Staff also glows less.
== Personality ==
At first, he was a cheerful and hopeful man, ready to take anything that might get in the way of improvement. But, after his encounter, he became extremely reserved and turned down anyone's kindness as he lost his will to keep going after learning that nothing in his world was real.
== Trivia ==
-His trident was replaced with a staff because the trident was supposed to represent a dark moment for Asgore, while the Staff represented a tool which could be used to both lead and defend.
-Asgore and Toriel at some point DID try to reconciliate their love for one another, but it failed due to both being uncomfortable and realizing that they didn't have feelings for each other anymore.
-"Where's Flowey?" you may ask. Well, he's still kickin' and still performing his SAVEs and RESETs, but he's not important to the story..
