**Brokentale** is an grim-dark AU created by ElectricalGamerOfficial. Its plot revolves around post-genocide where the only two monsters left in the underground are a skiddish and Outraged Sans and a Mentally-insane Papyrus. The two were trying to artificially reset to try and bring everyone back so things can try to go back to normal, but another looming world decided to change the brother's plans, and pull them both apart. Sans met Vino and the two both decided, that they needed to stop their brother's plans to keep the Underverse safe from destruction.

## Characters

### Undertale Characters

#### Frisk

The second antagonist of the AU and the other one that Sans is trying to find. They escaped the underground, but soon wanting to reset to go down pacifist for the final reset, but Chara won't let them; terrorizing Frisk with nightmares and hallucinations.

#### Flowey

Flowey was one of the reasons that Papyrus snapped, constantly bickering with him and bothering him. He was soon to be killed by Papyrus after he tried to convince him that it was all Sans's fault everyone was dead.

#### Chara

The antagonist of the Au, and one of the two Sans is trying to hunt and kill. Escaped the Underground along with Frisk and keeps them from resetting.

#### Sans (Fracture)

*Main article: Sans (Fracture)*

A jumpy and angered skeleton, who has to tend to his brother Papyrus. He is trying to figure out how to start an artificial reset to bring everyone else back, using old (and artificial) determination from their father's old laboratory and the machine in the Lab behind their house in Snowdin. He is still lazy sometimes, but is much more busy keeping his brother out of trouble and figuring out how to reset, or trying to find his way onto the surface to find Frisk.

#### Papyrus (Shatter)

An insane and mentally disturbed skeleton. Sans is the only person that he knows left in the underground. Instead of the happy-go-lucky skeleton most everybody knows, he is much like Horrortale Papyrus and Freaktale Papyrus. Although he still keeps some of his old personality, he is much more clever, cunning, and stronger than his canon counterpart, and just a little less serious than Underfell Papyrus. Although, whenever he was co-leader of the AU Guardians, he betrayed Fracture and swore to destroy every human in any au, and any au that stood in his way.

#### Gaster (Severed)

Gaster plays a huge part in this AU, keeping Frisk from killing his sons by shielding them from the attacks with a magic shield from another plane of reality. He does get his way back when the machine Sans tries to fix malfunctions and shoots him back into reality. He tries to help Papyrus get free from the grasp of Lith, but it ultimately fails and he nearly falls down. He was left with a nasty crack going down his left eye, like the one on his right eye.

### Added Characters

#### Lithograph (Lith)

Lithograph (Lith) is Papyrus's reflection and his dialogue is in the Lithograph Light font, but talks in alternating capital and lowercase lettering. He came along with the corruption of his soul and causes him to destroy people and useless AU's; coming from the backwards mirror world but soon to possess Papyrus's soul. Pure evil and will stop at NOTHING to get what he wants, even turning whole AU's to Dust.

#### Vino

Vino is Sans's reflection, ALSO talking in the font ITC Vino Bianco. He is a much kinder and energetic version of Sans, and inhabitants the backwards mirror world. He helps Sans fight against Papyrus and Lith. Taller than sans, but shorter than Papyrus and his soul is sideways

## Locations

### Undertale Locations

#### Ruins

The **Ruins** is the tutorial area of *Undertale* as well as the entire setting of the demo. The protagonist enters the Underground by falling from a giant hole in the ground on Mount Ebott into the Ruins before the beginning of the game.

#### Snowdin Forest

**Snowdin Forest** is the second region the protagonist encounters in the Underground. It is seen after the protagonist defeats Toriel and receives judgment from Flowey in the Ruins.

#### Snowdin Town

**Snowdin** is a town the protagonist encounters after they leave the Ruins and travel through Snowdin Forest. Departure from the town takes the protagonist to Waterfall by foot or, by hitching a ride with the River Person, to either Waterfall or Hotland.

#### Sans and Papyrus's House

**Papyrus and Sans's House** is a location in Snowdin. Christmas decorations adorn the house, and it is unlocked after the protagonist befriends Papyrus. To the left of the house is Sans's mailbox, which is full of junk mail, and Papyrus's empty mailbox.

#### Waterfall

**Waterfall** is the third area the protagonist encounters in the Underground. The area is accessible after the protagonist defeats Papyrus in a fight. The area follows Snowdin Forest and Snowdin Town, and precedes Hotland.

#### Hotland

**Hotland** is the fourth region the protagonist encounters in *Undertale*, following Waterfall. It contains locations such as Alphys's Lab, True Lab, the MTT Resort, and the CORE.

#### Lab

The **Laboratory** is the workplace and home of the royal scientist, Alphys, in Hotland. It is a single building of technological prowess where Alphys conducts her studies. It also houses the True Lab.

#### Truelab

The **True Laboratory** is a private section of Alphys's Lab that can only be found and entered during the True Pacifist Route.

### Added Locations

#### Papyrus's Mirror (Mirror World)

A backwards world created by Papyrus's corrupted soul, holds Lithograph and Vino and is inverted in colors and is clearly abandoned, although the world is backwards and new. A gateway into darker AU's and shadows, most light monsters and those with pure souls are weakened in these areas (i.e Dream!Sans or Swap!Sans).

#### In-between

This area is in-between Reality and The Mirror World, It's a very colorful area, consisting of 3 doors between the Mirror World, Reality, and The Venality. You can get here if you have an evil or corrupted soul and pass through a full-length mirror or any large surface that reflects your image, or if you have strong magic and pass through a portal.

#### The Venality

A dark world consisting of shadowy figures and hallucinations. All lightners are weakened here (and **most** prefer to stay away from here). Papyrus's soul was corrupted by some of the magic here because of all the hatred and anger within him for and towards the human, causing the magic to escape through the cracked mirror in his closet. It is icy cold, cold enough to turn gas to ice.
