UnderBunker (achive)

DeviantArt(story),Tumblr - link
UnderBunker is a comic that takes place in an alternate universe of UnderTale where the Monster/Human war ended in both sides launching nuclear missiles and causing the surface to be completely uninhabitable. Both Monsters and Humans were forced to retreat into underground fallout shelters, and this comic is set in the biggest one, a shelter simply known as the Bunker located under Mount Ebott. The story follows Frisk, a human who woke up in the Bunker with no memories and the power to RESET the timeline.
== Characters ==
=== Undertale Characters ===
==== Asriel ====
The brash and spoiled son of the King and Queen. His SOUL trait is determination. He is willing to hurt others to get what he wants, especially if it's for the sake of his brother Chara. He is alive in this AU and had the power of RESET before due to his and Chara's combined determination. He views Chara as his younger brother despite being the same age as him. He is friends with Papyrus who is his mentor/ older brother figure and is not very fond of Sans.
==== Chara ====
Adopted son of the King and Queen, Chara is intelligent and reserved, and can be somewhat arrogant. His SOUL trait is determination. He is the more rational of the two brothers but can get into all sorts of trouble due to his brother's instance on his involvement. He looks up to Undyne. He was kicked out of his fallout shelter and forced to wander the surface, where he was found by a Monster patrol and forced to come with them. The short time he spent on the surface resulted in his radiation poisoning and death.
==== Frisk ====
Frisk is an extroverted easily angered human teenage boy. He appeared in the Bunker one day with no previous memories and the power to RESET the timeline. He is curious about the world around him and his role in it, if not a little annoyed by his lack of knowledge. His SOUL trait is determination.
==== Toriel ====
The Queen of Monsters who resides at the end of the Entrance Level. While she mostly takes care of the sick and elderly, she still meets with Asgore on rare occasion if she feels her council is needed. She used to be a general during the Monster/ Human war, but pledged to never fight again. She divorced Asgore after he ordered nuclear strikes on the Humans at the end of the war, but still continued to live with him for some time. Her SOUL trait is integrity.

==== Entrance Level ====
The entrance level is the Ruins counterpart for this AU. It is a dark, dimly lit set of metal halls leading deeper into the Bunker. Many parts of it were left unfinished, with wires and pipes exposed and openings in the floor. Many people who reside here come here for unsavoury reasons, as the Entrance Level lacks security cameras.
At the end of the Entrance Level is Toriel's house. This is where many people can come seek help from the Queen. Those who come here are usually either sick or elderly. Toriel's house has a room for Asriel and Chara despite neither living there anymore.
== Miscellaneous ==
* Monsters are just as powerful as humans and can posses determination.
* Monsters have traited SOULs that have a band of coulour on the outside.
