**Altered Destiny** is an AU created by Reddit user sp441, also referred to as by Fours. It is a Swap AU that heavily shifts the base lore of the canon story.

The AU features a heavy focus on retro-futuristic aesthetics and science-fiction tropes, with the Ruins heavily altered to have a more technological feeling to them.

The story has been modified past swaps, as it features characters that are in entirely new positions, such as Jerry.

## Character Changes

### Sans (Role: The Caretaker)

A laid back scientist who lives in the old Ruins. He is extremely fond of hot dogs, bad jokes, pranks, and putting off basic cleaning duty. He helps the Protagonist during their adventure, both in and outside of the Ruins, though away from the Ruins, there's not much he can do outside of providing amusing phone conversations. He has a pet Gaster Blaster that he named Wilson.

### Furokahn/Mad Dummy (Role: The Recluse)

The high-strung, easily pissed-off intern that Sans has. Reported to be a bad employee, Sans has no compulsions in testing out his latest terrible jokes on him, which really doesn't contribute well to his already foul mood.

### Papyrus (Role: The Monarch)

The melodramatic and eccentric knight that looks over the Underground. Though not a king, he is the only still-active member of the High Council, and is respected and heard by monsters all over the Underground. He is oath sworn to destroy any humans that fall in the Underground. Why that is still remains to be seen.

### DTVS (Role: The Empty One)

A strange creature of metal and slime. It takes the shape of a monitor that displays bizarre imagery upon it. Its default form being that of a screaming face. It seems hellbent on destroying the Protagonist at all costs, and seems to be mostly incapable of any forms of communication, at one point attempting to speak but struggling to form coherent sentences; but as the story continues it seems that DTVS is getting more capable of speaking.

### Toriel (Role: The Judge)

Once a delinquent that terrorized the whites of Snowdin, Toriel is a kind, if somewhat hard-lined young lady. She doesn't have much in the way of worry, aside from dealing with the parole service given to her by her mean boss, and keeping her beloved boyfriend, Asgore, out of trouble. Despite her laid back attitude and overall lazy personality, she shows a moderate level of intelligence, keeping up with all the components of Asgore's puzzles.

### Asgore (Role: The Ambitious)

The Sheriff of Snowdin. In recent times, he got a weird idea to dress up as a cowboy, which has caused much ridicule towards him. Regardless, he is still the excitable and wide-eyed authority in Snowdin. He frequently has to contend with the likes of Jerry, who seeks nothing but to cause trouble. He presents himself publicly as strong, noble, and outgoing, but is easily broken down by his troublemaker girlfriend, Toriel. He speaks in a Southern accent, and it is unknown if this is a cause or effect of the cowboy outfit.

### Bratty & Catty

Bratty and Catty are two punk girls from Snowdin Town who are part of the Fallen Angels gang along with Jerry. Though they are part of this gang and have direct orders to fight any humans they come up against, they disobeyed these orders due to their shared overwhelming curiosity of Frisk. The two show no fear of the law and even go as far as to make childish remarks towards Asgore on several occasions. During the confrontation scene with Asgore, they remark on a past action of his with Muffet, implying a friendship between the three.

### Jerry

Local troublemaker and overall nuisance. He is the leader of a local greaser gang known as the Fallen Angels. He cares for nothing outside of money and himself, and is not beyond hunting down humans to get his "fair cut".

## Location Changes

* The Ruins: The worn-down remains of a once mighty city. It is a testament to the endurance of monster technology, as many of it's facilities are still perfectly functional. However, they have seen tidier days, as Sans can't be bothered to clean up his messes and treats the Ruins like his own personal trash can.

## Miscellaneous Changes

* Skeletons have significantly more importance in the lore, effectively replacing Boss Monsters.
