**ChiselTale** is an AU that focuses on a fallen human with a mysterious being that dwells in his mind. Naturally feeling misplaced in a world he doesn't recognize, he must find answers and make his way to the already-broken Barrier. The story initiates itself into a post-pacifist timeline, but gradually expands to different variants of unfamiliar timelines that have yet to be broken or restarted once again.

Just as the name of the AU implies, the story parallels the workings of a chisel to one's inner turmoil. More specifically, to be shaped and carved into something more refined and functional. **ChiselTale** reflects on the importance of facing personal fears and resurfacing into self-acceptance and reformation.

## Lead Cast

### Canon Characters

#### Asriel

* A young prince that holds wisdom over SOULS and the universe he dwells in.

Choosing to stay behind in a post-pacifist timeline, the young monster remains in the Underground after the other dwellers resurface. He stays in the flowerbed in the Ruins, following the canonical events of the boss fight between him and Frisk. However, in this AU, the game isn't reloaded and transforms from fiction to reality after the events followed in Chiseltale.

### Original Characters

#### Alun

* The fallen human that is used to break the reality of the Multiverse.

As an unknowing bystander, Alun quite literally *fell* victim to the confines of the legendary Mount Ebott---just as the monsters did years ago. The masked being has no recollection of the events that led up to him laying atop a flowerbed. Alun must pass through each section of a deserted Underground, revisiting memories throughout time and overcoming the stretch of emotions left behind.

#### Pnevma

* One of two rival skeleton deities that defines transcendence of the Astral Realm.

Pnevma, often referred to as Pnev, coexists in the Astral Realm alongside Aleth. The duo are beings that naturally oppose each other, constantly bickering about their duties to the multiverse. Dwelling in a place where they are the only ones who can see each other, there is often conflict with Aleth and his desire to be seen by lesser beings. As a deity of transcendence, Pnev is unfazed and disinterested by the lives of mortals, abiding by universal rules and appreciating the power no one can witness. In an escalated argument between the rival deities, Pnev had cast his powers onto Aleth. As a result, Aleth crashed down to earth, chastised into a bystander's mindscape, and sending him down Mt. Ebott.

#### Aleth

* A skeleton deity that defines reality and fiction--reformed into PCS!Sans, the Sans of this universe.

Born from the fold of the Creator's prefrontal cortex, aka the **paracingulate sulcus**, Aleth was brought into existence thanks to the constant abuse of a traumatic mind that focused its attention to planning, thought, and judgement. [*This concept is loosely based on **"Reality Check: Why Some Brains Can't Tell Real From Imagined"** by Maia Szalavitz (Oct. 05, 2011)*] The fallen human, Alun, meets Aleth by chance of escapism. Taking a liking to Alun and his endurance against his reality-bending abilities, he learns to coexist with the lesser being that holds him in his mental captivity.
