**Glamourtale** is an AU that takes place many years after a neutral run caused by Frisk, after the king Mettaton ending, where both Toriel and Undyne were killed due to Frisk, causing Mettaton to take over as new ruler of the Underground. The monsters of the Underground have been completely brainwashed by the shows and laws of the egotistical and merciless Emperor, Mettaton. The Underground has televisions practically everywhere displaying Mettaton's shows, some are even giant and on blimps to showcase the newest MTT News and products with glaring pink spotlights. Posters also litter the Underground showing the next time Mettaton's live performances will occur as well as many different products.

The action takes place many years after Frisk had fallen down. Monsters had lost hope, only to be forced into the illusion that they are living in a perfect world by the laws of their king. Their appearances have changed drastically as well, for example, many of the monsters working for king Mettaton have taken up a more formal approach in terms of their clothing.

## Characters

### Undertale Characters

#### Sans

One of the Knights and stationed in a mansion in Snowdin City with his brother. He carries a long, thin, magic enhancing rapier to do his job. The Civil War has scarred Sans, having to see his friends get slaughtered by the Rebels he obtained severe PTSD, and turned to alcohol to solve his problems causing him to become an alcoholic. He has a darker sense of humor and is willing to kill any human or monster that seriously gets in his way or who he is ordered to kill. The trauma experienced from the Civil War also caused him to not take his job seriously. During Sans's trips to Grillby's bar to order alcohol, he developed a friendship with Ruby and tells many of his problems to her. He concealed this information from Papyrus, not wishing to burden his brother and appear as if he can't protect him. Sometimes Sans has bouts of episodes, and recurrent nightmares, as well as distancing himself from his brother due to his PTSD, becoming nihilistic and seriously depressed. Sans wears a white buttoned up shirt, with white pants, and a black blazer, as well as a fedora with a blue stripe going down the middle. He has normal coloured eyes, except from a pink eye that will light up as his bad time eye when using blue magic or angry.

On the True Path he gets taken over by The Leader's malice and becomes very scary and angry. He then gets a cracked skull with a crooked spiky smile, and empty sockets. His bone attacks become broken and he decides to throw away his rapier in favour of his boosted magical attacks. The Leader doesn't directly control Sans unless they need Sans to survive if about to be defeated or to run. Sans in this form harbors a dangerous amount of hatred toward his brother and becomes very cynical. While the party gets banished in the Void, Sans tries to stop their progress multiple times so they'll stay in the Void forever. After almost being defeated near the end of the True Path, the Leader takes direct control of Sans to guide him to the Void's copy of the 6 human souls and absorbs them, as well as fusing together with Sans to form a terrifying skeletal godlike monster. At the end of this path, Sans becomes saved, and the Leader is sealed away in the confines of Aliza's soul.

#### Papyrus

Another Knight, Papyrus is known as the one healer and defense oriented Knight, as well as governing the province of Snowdin with his brother. His job mainly consists of helping to prepare events for Mettaton as well as healing any who might be in danger. Papyrus is still much the same, if not being much better in cooking and fighting, still retaining his kindness and refusal to hurt anyone if not needed. He is known for refusing to have servants in his and Sans's mansion since he dislikes the idea of indentured servitude and would rather like to clean his property himself. Papyrus is very worried for his brother and doesn't understand why Sans isn't opening up to him. Papyrus is in a better mental state than his brother since Sans spared Papyrus the horror of having to watch the atrocities of the Civil War and mainly kept Papyrus out of the fighting. Papyrus is also skilled in defensive bone magic. He wears a general blue and pink general outfit with black pants and pink tufts on his shoulders. He carries sashes on himself with cooking materials and other survival equipment, and still has his red gloves and boots with a beautiful maroon cape flowing behind him.

#### Frisk/Ruby

The Commander-General of the Imperial Army and Head of the House of Knights, stationed to govern in Watermill. After feeling extreme guilt for what she did to the monsters, Frisk tried to get help from the humans but to no avail. Frisk would receive death threats, and violent bullying on the Surface so she started karate to defend herself. While in the orphanage, Frisk received a scimitar from the warden of the orphanage as a gift for her good behavior. The warden of the orphanage helped Frisk escape, find a disguise and venture once again into Mt. Ebott. This is because the warden believes Frisk since the warden's own son went missing in the mountain many years ago. Frisk took up a new identity as Ruby when she fell into the Underground again, to hide what she did in the past. Ruby, was surprised to learn the new state of the Underground and lived among the Rebels for a few days. Ruby was gifted fire magic from the elder of the Rebels, Wisesum.

Ruby eventually realized that the rebels would eventually realize her identity, and as a result fled out of the Fortress for her own safety. She then made her way throughout the Underground and eventually ran into her old friends, who didn't know that Ruby was actually the human that escaped the Underground many years ago. Chara, the embodiment of Frisk's negativity, is a demon attached to Frisk's soul. Chara is not evil however, being more Chaotic Neutral, however Frisk doesn't trust Chara do to Chara's nature. Frisk soon gained the attention of Mettaton, who after she proved her worth and became acknowledged as a great knight by Mettaton who put her as Commander-General of the Imperial Army and Head of the House of Knights. She used her powers to SAVE and RESET to achieve this. Ruby/Frisk lost their ability to reset when Aliza fell into the Underground. She wears a red cloak with a black tank top underneath and gold gauntlets and boots with black pants as well. Her hair is long and she always keeps her hood over her face to conceal her identity.

#### Alphys

Bearing overwhelming guilt for what they did, as well as having to deal with the grief of losing Undyne and being pressured by Mettaton, Alphys decided to run away from Mettaton in the rampage of the fleeing rebels. She was able to create an exemplary fortification and underground tunnel system for the Rebels throughout the Commonwealth in the RUINS. She was put as someone high in the Rebel aristocracy being part of The Triumvirate, she is called The Tactical One. She wears her old shirt covered with a purple cloak and a belt containing the Rebel emblem. She crafted Mettaton's scepter as well as finishing Mettaton's EX and NEO forms. She also mainly hides in her room with a picture of her and Undyne back when Undyne used to be alive.

Alphys was also able to become part of the Triumvirate because she gave the Rebels amalgamated animals which they call beasts. Alphys was pressured into creating them by Marlon, which she created by injecting dying monsters with determination and altering their form when they started melting. Alphys's life in the Fortress isn't much better than under Mettaton, as she realized the Rebels are no better than the Utopians in how their censor and suppress any criticism. Before Alphys hid from Mettaton, she also gave him the technology to create magic enhancing weapons for defense.

#### Mettaton

The Emperor of the Underground, feared by all. Mettaton spent all of Asgore's gold and savings on glorifying himself and urbanizing many locations in the Underground. He has renamed New Home as "Mettapolis", and and built a village in Waterfall called Watermill, as well as constructing Hotland Town. Despite appearing as a cold and heartless dictator, Mettaton has a soft spot with Napstablook and frequently has deep conversations with him. He also misses Alphys dearly and keeps a gift that she made for him by him always. He ordered the construction of a statue of him and Alphys shortly after Alphys went missing. He now however is insane and crazy driven from power. Mettaton is most sane when he thinks about Alphys and looks at the gift she made him many, many years ago. He also harbors a crazy resentment for the Rebels not only because they attempted to oust him from power, but also because he thinks they killed Alphys in the fighting. Mettaton is seen as a hero because he was able to liberate the people of Snowdin City from oppression by the Rebels during the occupation.

His scepter, being a magic enhancing tool, has the ability to turn into a sword and fight by itself, create large magical shields, and fire pillars of pink light into his enemies. Typically he is cloaked and wears a maroon cloak to appear less obvious in public, and takes it off when alone. Underneath the cloak he has his same robot body, as well as a puffy cape and crown of crystal leaves on his head.

### Added Characters

#### Aliza

The main protagonist of Glamourtale. Dresses in a purplish-pink dress with a big bow behind her and ballet slippers. She is skilled in dancing and singing. Her easy trusting in others can cause her to be easily manipulated by others however, which could lead to disastrous consequences. She is also a little self-centered but generally kind to others that are kind to her. She has the soul of Perseverance, and is able to save since the leader of the rebels, with their high amount of determination, gives her access to SAVE, LOAD, and RESET. The book Wisesum gives to her on the True Path allows Aliza to gain the Pacify spell, and later she gains the ability to fight with two black tentacles.

Aliza can choose her own path in Glamourtale, either choosing to follow the Rebels, Utopians, or spare everyone and unite the two factions, as well as committing genocide against them both. Napstablook and Flowey are her best friends, both battling with each other to become Aliza's best friend on the True Path.

#### Wisesum

Wisesum is an old relaxed Whimsum that used to be a Whimsalot in the Human-Monster war centuries prior. Wisesum is the most level headed of the Triumvirate, realizing that Marlon's ambitions to kill the emperor and establish a republic are much too radical due to his impatience and the cost of lives required to complete such a feat. This amount of patience and knowledge, in how she presents herself as brooding and dominant in public, is party of why she was chosen to sign the Winter Deal. She carries a crystal ball that is said to contain the broken soul of the lost queen. This crystal ball has the power to grant additional strength to any seen worthy by the owner of the crystal ball, Wisesum. Her ball communicates with the dead via finding the energy of the being's shattered soul. During the Human-Monster War, Wisesum was known as an extraordinary diplomat, able to convince some humans to join the monster cause. On the True Path Wisesum gives Aliza her old book of persuasion and skill, as well as the ability to unlock one's magic potential. She wears a purple stuffed hood, purple cloak, and Rebel Emblem. Part of The Triumvirate alongside The Leader, and Alphys. Wisesum is known as The Wise One.

#### The Leader/Enigma

The Leader is a mysterious entity bearing a long black cloak that covers their entire body and shadows their face and their glowing red eyes. The Leader is the leader of the Rebels and is in the highest position of the Triumvirate, being known as The Powerful One. No one knows the true identity of this being, or even most of the powers it has, not even where their room is located. The only thing that is known about them, is that they are insanely powerful and can turn into shadow. They became the leader of the Rebels shortly after the Rebels created a semi independent-republic in the RUINS. The Leader is actually the amalgamates all fused together, their combined determination is what causes their eyes to glow red, and to have a ridiculous almost impossible amount of power. The amalgamates started to starve after Alphys left them, causing them to raise a resentment against the yellow scientist for abandoning them. The amalgamate's determination started to become corrupted due to all the malice pent up inside them, causing them to become evil similarly to Chara at the end of genocide. The Leader is so powerful in fact that they can distort the timeline, causing people's memories to become changed. This is how they were able to become the leader of the rebels, by using this distortion to make the rebels believe that it is the leader of them all. Destroying the world is the Leader's ultimate goal, as they wish to rid the world of the cycle of RESETS. In truth The Leader has the power to destroy the world if they want, but they choose not to as they want to have fun and make Aliza do the dirty work for them.

The Leader is only seen on the True, and Genocide Paths. They are the final boss of the True Path, while The Leader possesses Aliza to commit genocide on the Genocide Path. The Leader's motives for using Aliza for genocide is to break away from the fate of the world which, they say, is destined to eternally repeat in a cycle of misery. The Leader in actuality is what gives Aliza the powers to SAVE and RESET, since The Leader can create SAVE points for her. On the True Path, the Leader reveals itself and their name, Enigma. After getting into a confrontation, the Leader decides to kill Papyrus in order to get his soul. However Sans jumps in the way preventing it, and Enigma takes Sans's soul instead and manages to turn Sans into a loyal pawn as well as ERASING the party from existence and banishing them into the Void. In the Void, Enigma prepares the fusion of the two worlds into one, which would cause such a large glitch that the Player would be forced to quit and never return.

He harbors a strong resentment toward Mettaton for all the lives he took, and wants to kill him with his own hands. Marlon is Minty's adopted brother. Marlon is a rabbit who has the unique disability of not being able to use magic, which is why he decided to become the master of the bow and arrow, swords, and martial arts, to make up for his lack of magic.

Eventually Marlon was adopted by his loving new parents and into Minty's family. Since then he didn't meet with Undyne again, to which he was devastated when learning of her disappearance. He was never even attached to Asgore as much as Undyne, and fought for Undyne's principles during the Civil War. Marlon also wants to attack the Empire as soon as possible causing him to become impatient by the way that Wisesum instead says that they should wait to accumulate power before striking.

She is the younger adoptive sister of Marlon, and helped protect him when he would be bullied at school for his lack of magic and personality. Minty is also a little immature for her age being gullible and easily trusting in others. She's also gifted in baking, as she can cook and greatly enjoys sweets. Her gullibility is what allows her to become friends with Aliza and Napstablook on the True Path, and convince Marlon to not kill them.
