Dreamtale: Mirrored Fates

Mirrored Fates is an Alternate Multiverse story. It's name originates from it's point of origin, Dreamtale, where the main antagonist and protagonist originate from. It all started when Dream, the more ambitious of the two brothers, ate 999 Positivity apples. Then set his life to a goal; melding The Multiverse into his perfect utopia. The first step of completing this goal, was of course, eradicating negativity. 
Cue Nightmare, The Determined but somewhat bossy brother to Dream, who's negative spirit, and Dream's hatred of him puts him as one of his top targets. With Nightmare in a position as this, he met up with more of his allies, and formed a Resistance against Dream's tyranny, resulting in a war. This results in Nightmare and his allies trying to rise up and defeat Dream, whilst Dream and his allies try to stomp Nightmare and his allies into the dust.
While this AU is mostly serious, there is still some more comedic or positive elements here and there. The AU does still have hope for a better future, as Nightmare and his allies have hope for victory. This AU has 5 possible canon outcomes, then a few joke outcomes which could never possibly happen.
The Characters here, while altered extremely, are still very similar at heart. Such as Error still being a manbaby, and Ink still being an emotionless "freak." Most of the characters in this AU are either swapped with someone else, or simply darker or lighter inversions of themselves. This AU has many conflicts brewing underneath the surface, and of course, while Dream's goal is a utopia, he believes The Ends Justify the means, which means he is fine with committing horrific war crimes to accomplish his end goal.
== Characters ==
There are two sides to this story. The Justice Reigns, which is run by Dream, and aims to snuff out negativity and create an orderly utopia, and The Negativity Resistance, which is spearheaded by Nightmare, which aims to topple The Justice Reigns, and defeat Dream.
== The Justice Reigns ==
=== Dream ===
Dream is the leader of The Justice Reigns, and rules over their territory with an iron fist. He is very tall, standing at about 7'1", or about 216 centimeters. He has mostly positivity themed clothing, along with his eyes, which melt positivity. His crown was taken away from him in a battle with Nightmare, as in Nightmare's eyes, "He does not deserve it." He is 536 technically, albeit he was sealed in the tree of emotions for 500 years, so he's mostly seen as 36. 
He is a very persuasive person, along with acting very professional. He generally has a decent temper, albeit he often tries to keep this under control. He values his image as a leader very highly, but only the image. He'll do as much shady things in the back as he needs to accomplish his end goals. He fears getting close to people as he thinks they'll make him weaker, so he doesn't trust anyone really. He is regarded by many as a God, and he himself not only indulges in this, but even somewhat believes it. He believes that no matter what he does wrong, it's justified due to his end goal. He has one weapon which he can change between a claymore, a bow, or a spear. Along with magical wings that come from his back.
He and his brother grew up by the tree of feelings, with Dream taking The "Older Brother" role of protecting Nightmare. Due to the abuse the townspeople brought to Nightmare, Dream began to see them as filthy and disgusting. The more they tricked him, just to abuse Nightmare, it made him sick. So much so, he began to think EVERYONE had no morals. That they were all disgusting. This caused him to develop Anti-Social Personality Disorder. Eventually, when all the abuse calmed down and Nightmare befriended the townsfolk, the brothers thought their plight was over. However a prophecy was created that one of the brothers would rise up as a hero and destroy the darkness. Dream of course assumed it must be him, and so got an extreme aura of narcism and self-righteousness. This caused the townspeople to dislike him, and like Nightmare better. This of course, infuriated Dream. Eventually, one day, he tried to eat negativity apples to prove what a good person he was. This almost killed him, and he was unable to eat the last. Nightmare brought his brother a positivity apple to try and save him, only for it to give Dream unlimited power. Dream ate the rest of the positivity apples, and the sun turned extremely hot, and began to melt the villagers alive. Nightmare tried to protect them, as he himself melted away. He bit into the last negativity apple, and his father spirit blessed it, so it would give him the power to defeat Dream. The sun went back to normal, and the brothers turned bitter enemies entered a battle. Dream lost, and Nightmare sealed him in the tree. After 500 years, his brother returned to enact vengeance. With much more power this time.
=== Ink ===
The Apathetic Right-Hand Man to Dream, he has mostly brown and paint stained clothing. His battle armor is dented and stained with paint and body fluid, making it very clear he doesn't clean it. He stands at around 6'2" or about 183 centimeters. He has a brush/sword called "stabby" which is Ink-stained, and he can use to control his ink, or as a simple weapon. He's around 24 years old.
He generally slouches and has a rather bored and jaded look and feel to him. He has none of the happiness nor upbeat personality of classic Ink, despite the fact he normally feels positive emotions due to his thermos. He has a thermos made by Dream which gives positive emotions, plus an anger vial which is the only negative emotion Dream allows him to feel. Ink is mostly jaded and angry due to the fact he mostly drinks the anger vial to feel a sense of freedom. Ink's eyes are just dark red most of the time. When he drinks the thermos, he acts upbeat and polite, more similar to his original self. He is also sometimes moderately psychotic, such as laughing at Delta's jokes, which are rather sadistic and dark. His eyes look similar, one having a yellow eye plus a blue star, as a bit of an inversion of Classic Ink. Unlike Dream, who is always professional, Ink is normally the exact opposite. He has his brush which he uses to attack or create things. His brush also has a blade inside of it, which he can activate at will. It is named "stabby." He can summon it at will, hence why it isn't strapped to his back. He mostly carries it around anyway, and it's implied he generally just likes having it around. 
He was originally created with no one in his AU other than Frisk. Eventually, his creator killed them as he found them unentertaining. So Ink in response killed his creator, then left his AU. (Note: This Creator is just someone from a different AU. Hence why Ink had the power to kill them.) Ink then left his AU, and tried to get pieces of creation to build an AU of his own. Since he had been created without a soul, his emotions are a bit wonky, and he doesn't feel any empathy. He can only create so much, since he has to steal paint from other AUs in order to create. Eventually, he came to X-Tale, where he encountered X-Gaster and Cross. He became good friends with them and mostly stayed there. He and Cross were encountered by Dream, who offered them a job. He and Cross accepted and left their AU. When Cross was gone fighting The Negativity Resistance, Ink learned how much Paint he could gain by absorbing and destroying X-Tale, so he did just that, leaving Cross without an AU. This was one of the reasons Cross defected from The Justice Reigns, however not the tipping point. Ink mostly didn't care, since due to his lack of empathy, he had no bond with Cross. He is mostly fine with his position.
=== Blue ===
Blue is part of Dream's council of five. His eyes are filled with Errors, plus being Light Blue. His Scarf is more of a cape, also being blue, with The justice Reigns Insignia on it. His Chest is completely armored, with a dark grey and blue color scheme to it, with some navy cloth woven in. He also wears blue fingerless gloves, because he "thinks they look cool." He has simple Grey sweatpants, along with brown boots. He's rather short, standing at around 5'2" or about 147 centimeters. He's only 16 years old.
He generally is bouncy and, contrasting with his older brother figure, Ink, has a rather upbeat and optimistic look about him. However, he has a constant shake, as if he wants to strangle whoever is standing next to him. He acts somewhat similar to old Swap Sans, but with more a psychotic and twisted persona to him. Along with the fact that he has a tendency to snap. Unlike Classic Error, whenever he crashes, he just enters a blind rage where he destroys everything in the surrounding area. He is generally happy around his JR allies, no matter how they're feeling. He has a tendency to want older brother and mentor figures, hence why he finds one in Ink and a short-lived one in Delta. He has strings attached to his eyes which he can use to capture or puppeteer his opponents. He mostly doesn't care about the scenario he's in. He can get annoyed very quickly, especially when he's near NR members. He has a deep hatred for most of them, whether it be personal reasons or simple idealistic ones. Whenever a Papyrus or his own Papyrus is brought up, he almost always crashes.
He was originally apart of an Underswap timeline, where he was abused by his brother for to several reasons. This caused him to loathe his brother. He truthfully despises Papyrus, however he also hates Alphys, since when he finally joined The Royal Guard, She abused her power over him and used it to sexually assault him. Due to his encounters with Papyrus, he kept it rather secretive, only telling his brother. His brother had a level of pity for him, but Sans didn't notice. Eventually, his AU began to fall apart due to an unknown glitch in the code. He fled from the glitching until he got to the last bit of land left. He encountered his brother, dangling from the ledge of the island. Rather than help him, he stabbed bones into his hands, then hurled him off the edge. He was saved by Core Frisk, who teleported to him to The Anti-void. He stayed there, as he gradually turned into an Error. Then, he left The Anti-void and went to a random AU. He found the person who would become Error, and gave him some of his power. This also gave the side affect of mild amnesia. Blue destroyed the rest of his AU, then began psychologically abusing Error, along with manipulating his amnesia to Blue's advantage. Eventually, Error broke the cycle and almost killed Blue. Luckily for Blue, he escaped. He encountered Dream, and thus, was one of the first people to join The JR.
=== Delta ===
Delta is Dream's Main Enforcer, and technically his left hand man. His body is covered in armor with a white and orange color scheme. Without his armor, he just wears a jacket. He has an orange cape, plus his iconic gauntlets. He has a dagger at his belt, plus more supplies. His Armor is often stained with white or beer stains, due to his "hobbies." He has metal and black boots, strapped to his leg armor. He's decently tall, at around 6'5" Feet or about 196 Centimeters. 
He's generally dark and smug, with more of a persona similar to Ink than Blue. He's extremely crude and blunt, along with getting annoyed when his views or actions are challenged. His hands are normally gripped into a fist, or his fingers are shaking in a grabby manner. He doesn't have a tendency to get mad, unless he's embarrassed or injured. He is extremely sadistic, as he states his arousal to the pain of Storyshift Chara. He is also a rather disgusting person, enjoying physical or sexual harassment towards poor and weak people. He is surprisingly manipulative and charismatic when he wants to be. He's decent friends with Ink, as Ink likes his far darker sense of humor. He's somewhat misogynistic, as it's shown he sees women as either toys or servants. He's mostly hated by almost everyone in the cast, and is only tolerated by Dream and Color. Then somewhat liked by Ink, and Blue saw him as a mentor temporarily. He also seems to find emotional suffering hilarious, as seen when Cross finds out about what Delta did to Storyshift Chara, and Delta laughs at him. He is somewhat cowardly, as he often flees when his opponent is enraged or has a high chance of beating him. He lacks any of his old self's personality, other than his cockiness. 
His Backstory is mostly unknown, however it is likely similar to the original Ultratale Story, as seen in his interactions with the soul of bravery, where the soul mentions how he absorbed it in order to defeat his Chara. He was found by Dream after Cross defected from The Justice Reigns, and Dream recruited him as a replacement to Cross. He found that Delta had brutal efficiency, and was fantastic at spreading fear, thus tightening Dream's grip on his subjects. He was also versed in many forms of torture, along with his sadism only making it enjoyable. Dream found him disgusting and somewhat annoying, but he figured it was a small price to pay. Delta eventually was given Storyshift Chara and Asriel as "gifts" from Dream, after Ink refused them as he found them "useless." Delta of course took full advantage, making Asriel his personal servant, along with sexually harassing Storyshift Chara repeatedly. Until he was confronted by an enraged Cross. The two fought, then Cross almost killed him, but he barely escaped. However, he left a traumatic impact on Storyshift Chara. He mostly wanted to re-enslave SS Chara, but he had something of a logical fear of Cross's rage. He also began to poison Blue's mind towards more malevolent goals, plus straying Ink further more evil. Dream found him to be even more useful than first thought, so Dream promoted him to the position of Left-Hand. Most people feared Delta logically. After all, his lack of remorse was frightening.
