DeathTale

Created by The Reformed Antagonist

**DeathTale** is an Undertale AU that takes place before Frisk falls down into the Underground. In this AU, Gaster is still the Royal Scientist and has not been scattered around time and space. He begins an experiment to bring MONSTERs back to life with DETERMINATION extracted from the HUMAN SOULs, but instead of forming amalgamations, these revived MONSTERs take their forms before death. However, they have no original thoughts of their own, which means that whoever created them can essentially control them. But when Asgore shut down his project, he snapped and went on a massacre, killing the entire Underground (mainly the boss monsters).

## Characters

### Undertale Characters

#### Alphys

One of the only MONSTERs to escape The Massacre. Alphys has set out to try and reverse Gaster's work by creating an antidote for the MONSTERs that have been revived so that they can return to harmless dust. She knows there is no way to bring the old Underground back, until Frisk came...

#### Frisk

Frisk is a scaredy-cat, to put it simply. They are frightened by the now empty and eerie underground, and they are very clingy to Flowey, because he knows more about the Underground than Frisk. They are reliant on others, and aren't as self-sufficient as they seem.

#### Flowey The Flower

Flowey has changed from the original game. He is now more reserved, and tries to turn people away from the underground. He has even tried to seal off the cavern that lets humans fall into The Underground. He despises Gaster, and has tried to use his power of resetting to stop him, but when Frisk fell, he found a better way of getting revenge.

#### Mettaton

He's a robot with a SOUL. Also spared. He tried to raise morale among survivors by continuing his show, but everything eventually crashed. He is now a washed up celebrity, but still makes weak attempts at raising morale.

#### Mad Dummy

Still angry. Still a madman. Actually even more so because he lost all his family and friends.

#### W.D Gaster

The creator of this hellish Underground. His past is shrouded in mystery, but all anyone knows is that he was invested into his work, and when any setback occurred, he would be furious. That is why when Asgore shut down his project, he finally snapped.

### Original Characters

#### Avian

Avian replaces Chara in this AU. The first human to fall down, they were cared for and loved by the royal family. Instead of consuming buttercups, they jumped off of the Waterfall to give Asriel their soul so that Monsterkind could be free after all those years. Known to be self-deprecatory and was suspected to be suicidal. They are SOUL bound to Frisk due to their shared SOUL trait, and are the narrator for their journey. They have been proven to be cynical, mean, sarcastic, and blunt.
