SUNSETTER - An Undertale roleswap take
A couple months back I started making a concept for an Underswap take. I'm happy with what I've made thus far.
Long ago, Monsterkind and Humanity lived together in harmony.
But a war sparked, and the peace shattered.
The monsters, overpowered, made a bunker, and hid underground.
The humans, discovering this, created a machine to keep monsterkind from leaving it, hoping their opponents would eventually die out.
And the war soon was long forgotten...
...
Eventually, in the year of 202X, a story unfolds.
On the surface are the caverns of Night's Aura.
Underneath the earth lies the refuge of Monsterkind...
A bit of information before we get onto characters...
This is a human's SPIRIT, the very essence of one's being.
A monster's spirit, containing seven human's spirits, would become godlike.
Anyways...
The first character swap on the AU is...
A Flowey - Frisk swap!
Finley is a human kid, around 15 years old. They're a bit of a brat.
After running away from home, they hide away in a cave.
Picking up sticks to make a fire, they unfortunately discovered some loose ground, and fell into the SETTLEMENT.
The Human is... a human? Maybe. They seem a bit... undead, though.
A silent type, seemingly not talking at all. Who knows if they can.
They hide and watch from the shadows, acting on instinct alone.
No one seems to know they exist. What even are they?
Next is your average Asgore - Toriel swap!
Asgore is the guide to the OL' TOWN from the OUTSKIRTS, and one who used to be the king of Monsterkind. He's a big fuzzy pushover, just like in Undertale. He's beloved by all in the area. It's a wonder why he's so far from the captial... but he's there to give hope to all that lives in Town.
Toriel is the keeper of the BARRICADE, and the queen of Monsterkind. As of now, all know how she tires from the situation she's in. Many fear her wrath, but others know her warmth.
With her mighty blade, Queen TORIEL will set all free.
As with most Underswap takes, you can't have it without the usual Papyrus - Sans swap!
Papyrus is a skeleton who's lost his ambition. Due to certain circumstances, a goal he once had is completely out of reach.
Due to this, he's become a bit more... distant.
He's not lazy by any means, but he has a hard time getting up in the morning.
Besides all of that, he still shares some visions and ideals as his original self.
Though, perhaps someone can come by and help him...
Sans is also a skeleton. The Skeleton, even. He's mainly very similar to his original lazybones self. But he's gotten a little more upbeat and extroverted, in an attempt to help his brother get back to his former greatness.
There isn't much else to add, actually.
At the core, he really is still Sans, puns, pranks, and all.
Though, he does have a few jobs, including working as an assistant for a magical girl vigilante. Though, it's mainly just taking phone calls.
They'd be met through SNOHFAL CAVERNS and the CITY OF SNOHFALIN
I decided to do something interesting for my Alphys - Undyne swap, but the usual thing is still like the average one.
Alphys is the aforementioned magical girl style vigilante in the WETLANDS, trying to make a name for herself. The matters of protection throughout the SETTLEMENT had lessened before she started, due to certain circumstances.
She's gotten herself a few fans, stopped a few crimes, supported the local soup kitchen...
But she still feels like there's more she can do.
Toriel's stressed, and she knows this. So, maybe... she can try to get the next fallen human's SPIRIT on her own.
Undyne is the Queen's Royal Engineer, and a rather good one at that.
She's made various ways of making the settlement, and the lives of those that reside in it, better.
Though, there's nothing that outdoes the previous ones's greatest creation, MEGA, a generator that powers the entire Settlement.
She resides in a laboratory in PYROCLAST
Due to certain circumstances, she's much more determined to get the next fallen human's SPIRIT. She's enlisted the help of a ghostly friend of hers to help her do so.
The Blook Cousins have a different swapping arrangement from normal Underswap
Napstablook - Dummy
Mettaton - Mad Dummy/Mew Mew
Scarecrow is, well... a scarecrow. A ghost monster possessing a scarecrow, actually. Despite their name, and weird face, they're actually rather shy. They probably just need a little cheering up once in a while.
They also really like music.
Bittinaugh (pronounced: bitty-naff) is just your average ghost monster. They don't talk much, though. Who really knows what goes on in that little ghost's head.
They're also a shy sort, and a bit sensitive, despite their monotonous expression.
Starcrow is also a ghost monster possessing a scarecrow. Though, they have VERY high aspirations for themself. They wish to be a celebrity, a star for the whole SETTLEMENT to enjoy. After learning about a human's fall through their cousin, they decided that a perfect start to showbiz would be to face one head on!
The "Mad Mew Mew" boss would have them possess a big gundam-like figure, with similarities to Mettaton EX.
Amornalek (pronounced: a-more-na-leck) seems to be your average robotic suit of armor, but she's actually a VENGEFUL SPIRIT!!! Or... just an angry ghost monster possessing the suit.
She works with Undyne, and is her best friend... and training dummy for battle practice. They two spar a lot, and it's fun for the both of them.
Undyne souped-up her with a TON of weapons. Magic, missiles, knives, a LOT of knives, those knives were kinda Amor's idea.
There's an "EX" form, but I haven't designed it.
It would be similar to Mad Mew Mew, but not exactly. It'd also go for more of a mix of cute-yet-violent in design than just cute.
And finally, Asriel - Chara
Both of them are... more or less the same as in canon. Their life and death are more or less the same.
It's just that Undyne was allowed by Queen Toriel to use Chara's corpse for a... certain experiment. Being allowed to do so was due to desperation, and the idea of at least seeing one of her children alive again.
But that's another story.
...
Which I'm gonna tell right now.
SOW-WOS - The "Willpower" Experiments
There was an attempt by Undyne to make stronger monsters/warriors, beings able to get past and destroy the barricade. All of the monsters that were experimented on were volunteers, rather than just being on death's door like in Undertale.
Each and every volunteer was a member of that time's current Royal Guard.
Each volunteer was given a machine put inside their bodies that courses Willpower, a lifeblood extracted from the previously collected human SPIRITs, throughout their body.
Unfortunately, the volunteers start to become a metallic-like fluid, an immense pull making them come together. Their bones and joints reconfigured within the combined masses. The fluid hardens and loses polarity as they turn from magnetic fluid, to almost a hard metal, like titanium.
The amalgamates form, with a distinct taste in the air...
similar to that of copper.
These experiments, Undyne couldn't reveal the full results of, so she locked the masses down below the main lab.
She simply recorded that they perished in the experimentation.
And what makes things worse, is that the body of the deceased human had disappeared.
Learning this, Toriel completely disbanded the Royal Guard, not wanting something like this to happen again.
She put Undyne on probation, yet did not completely fire her.
The whole thing was an accident, completely unexpected, and the subjects were volunteers. It was not Undyne's fault.
But to Undyne, it was.
With that on her shoulders, she made it her new mission to get the next human's SPIRIT...
By any means necessary.

How would the Horror bois react to their crush surprising them by taking them to a buffet?
Horrortale Sans - He's very very happy, purring very loud to the point everyone is looking at him wondering what is making tractor noises in the diner room. For once, he doesn't care about the people around, he's too focused on you and the food. You're going to stay there all night long though as you made the mistake of saying "I don't know" after he asked you what they were doing with the food once the building closes.
Horrortale Papyrus - He's happy, he always is when he's hanging out with you, but he's a bit nervous too. It's just... He's not 100% comfortable with having normal food habits yet, and all these people going and taking the food he wants is making him a bit defensive. He can't stop staring at the buffet to make sure there is still food :( He knows it's ridiculous since when there's missing something, employees bring another plate, but he can't help it. He might have growled at the little girl who steal the last chicken wing he wanted so bad too. He felt bad about this, but he still did it.
Horrorswap Sans - You have the feeling he's going to get sick the next day. Nugget is a bit overwhelmed by all the food and he can't stop going to take more. It's just... There is food. And it's food. He thinks that as long the buffet is not empty, people will get mad, and he's getting more and more distressed about it. It takes you a few minutes and him apologizing to you for eating too slow, calling you Alphys, to realize he's having a panic attack. You drag him out to breathe.
Horrorswap Papyrus - He's nervous about all the people around, constantly moving to fetch food. He's jumpy, clinging to you everytime someone is coming too close and he's hyperventilating when someone is looking a little too much at his missing jaw. You're here as his service human to comfort him and calm him down though. He slowly relaxes as time passes, focusing on you and the food. In the end, he even liked this a lot and is up to give it another try wich means it's a huge success.
Horrorfell Sans - Hum... He's acting like a food gremlin. He's near the buffet, holding to his ham for dear life, biting it and he won't give it back despite the employees begging him to do so. He saw it first, it's his now. He keeps growling and hissing at the customers and the employees, showing his very pointy teeth to dissuade them to get closer. You ask the employees to let him be, he'll calm down eventually once he ate his damn ham. ... Before doing the same with the salmon lol. That will be this all evening.
Horrorfell Papyrus - He's exasperated about everyone asking if he needs help to reach things from his wheelchair, or moms telling the kids to get away from his road to not upset the scary-looking skeleton. URGH. Let the scary skeleton live his life and look at your plate already. He can do things by himself and if someone try to help him one more time by "pushing his wheelchair to his table", he swears to Asgore he's going to SCREAM. Let him eat in peace, he just wants to have a good time with his S/O!

Wick, i wanna hear your thoughts on horror x cross..I’m desperate to hear someone talk about them. Idc how crazy or how ooc it is. trust that I will eat it up like it’s a million dollar steak
OH MY GOD THNAK YOU SO MUCH VIBINGTOPAZ IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME ABOUT THEM WORDS CANT EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY OKAY HERE YOU TO HERES A BIG FAT HEADCANON DUMP. i never see them outside of bsp and don’t get me wrong i love the bsp but sometimes i just want these two on their own yk? this is a bit more fanon than my normal stuff btw but i try my best ok
okok here:
when cross first joined nm and his group he was terrified of horror. he was intimidated by everyone, but horror was the most visibly scary. like there was just no ignoring the fact that this guy killed people before like he ignored it with everyone else. so for a good long while he kept his distance, and it was horror who tried to reach out first after months of never talking despite living in the same building, eating at the same table, and working under the same guy.
it was very clear that talking to cross just at all scared the shit out of him, and since horror is in charge of the cooking, he decided hey why not, and started making foods that appealed to cross as a sort of peace offering. after a while, cross realized what horror’s intent was, and slowly started to come around. he even attempted to give horror food in return (a few of the chocolate bars he had squirreled away) which solidified them as allies and set the foundation for them to develop a further friendship and relationship.
food is their initial and primary love language because it was a medium they could both work with when they first started becoming friends—horror enjoyed being given and giving food purely because he HAS it, and he’s able to make sure he and those he loves are fed, and cross had cooked with undyne alongside his brother and knows the basics of it and enjoys it. cross is literally the only one allowed in the kitchen outside of horror and nightmare, partially bc horror loooovesss him and partially because he’s actually responsible. horror makes him brownies sometimes just because he can btw. or like those chocolate taco desserts? cross loves those so horror makes them. all the time. cross does not mind he likes it a lot actually it’s very sweet
horror and cross are the epitome of i would kill for you (horror) x i would die for you (cross). they’re both very very intense but in different ways and i love that for them. cross takes blows on the battlefield meanwhile horror attacks those on behalf of cross when the other hesitates or refuses to kill (which is all the time cross at heart is a pacifist).
i also feel like they’d be big on physical touch but maybe i’m just super lonely. they’re devoted in different ways and i like that for them. they seem like big ‘kiss on the hand’ people yk what i’m talking about. like the back of your hand kiss. that. i also think they’re one of those cringe ass couples who like. do the waist grabby from behind when they’re cooking or generally working. ew cringe romance (i would die for them). neck kisses too. and biting but that tips into suggestive territory. they’d be big on that though
oh hey angst time. horror feels guilty and somewhat disturbed whenever cross mentions alphys, because of his au’s alphys incident, and it’s the same with undyne. cross was very close with both of them, more so than horror ever was despite having been alphys’ coworker at one point (after all, alphys was cross’ sister), and he feels bad because like. cross speaks so highly of alphys and undyne, but horror tore apart alphys’ mind and undyne is literally the cause of his most visible scar. he feels guilt for what he did, and refuses to elaborate on his au’s alphys and undyne for the most part because he doesn’t want to fuck cross up with the knowledge of the things horror did, the things alphys did, the things undyne did. thankfully after getting the hint that horror did not like mentions of undyne, cross stopped mentioning his undyne pretty much entirely and speaks of alphys a little bit less, and they never really elaborated on that fully outside of choppy confessions during panic attacks.
meanwhile, cross doesn’t understand why horror never visits his au, or at least his brother. because horror is ABLE to, he has his au right there, but he just… never visits? none of his family, his friends? cross would kill and die for the chance to get his au back, but horror doesn’t care for his? horror feeds them and that’s it, he doesn’t remember the last time horror just took a break to visit his family. cross would sacrifice his own life for even a sliver of a chance of getting his family back. it’s not until he fully understands how horrifying horror’s au is that he doesn’t resent him as much for it.
their clashing views and experience are hard to look past, but in the end they love each other enough to empathize with each other and the situations they’d come from. horror has issues with remembering and articulating things from time to time combined with severe migraines, so cross helps him with those. horror meanwhile gets cross to sit the fuck down and take care of himself jesus christ man because what do you mean this asshole is INTENTIONALLY starving himself. fym “i feel like i haven’t earned it lol” sit the fuck down and eat this food i LOVINGLY PREPARED. GOD. they help each other w their issues and bad habits. cross works himself to near death? okay shut up i’m going to forcibly lift you up and carry you to your room and lock you inside until you go to sleep. horror throws up after eating because he can’t handle that much food? cross is there to help him through it. i like them a lot. they r there for each other through their highs and lows.
since i hate xchara exclusion i think xchara like absolutely fucking despises horror. not because he’s evil and mean and grrr to cross, but he just genuinely does not trust horror and cannot believe that he has any sort of good intentions. xchara sort of fueled cross’ doubt about him for a while, though as time moved on and horror didn’t seem to have any harmful ulterior motives, xchara toned down on the whole ‘he is going to kill you don’t blink around him or you will die’ talk. not entirely but you know. he’s always got the ‘i’ve got my eye on you’ look whenever horror is anywhere near them but horror doesn’t know that unfortunately. he doesn’t get the pseudo brother stamp of approval. horror’s brother likes cross a lot though, especially because cross is literally the exact opposite of lazy and unhealthy and encourages self care of others (not himself, the absolute loser). like out of anyone he could’ve ended up with, horror’s brother (creeps? crooks? sugar??) likes cross the best i think.
ok speed round: cross is the type to not notice when anyone is interested in him, just at all. most frustrating months of horror’s life really. horror packs little trail mix baggies for cross when he goes out on missions or patrol. this is just cause i think it’s cute. purring skeletons, i like purring skeletons it’s my favorite thing ever and i think they should get to purr together and lay down in bed for hours on end half asleep half awake just existing together. when cross saw his very first colored sunset horror was there and that definitely furthered the at the time small spark of romance. cross, bc he’s a swap, is much more of a superhero nerd than a science nerd like horror, and they bicker over whether or not they watch a documentary or action movie. i think they don’t bicker like killer and dust do, they bicker in like. the very clearly lighthearted and cutesy way that doesn’t last long. it’s more like banter actually. gags
ok that’s it (for now…..) because i don’t want this to be too-too long. i love them and i was so so so so SO excited when you asked me this omg. i love asks like these i cannot stress this enough. ask me whatever you want whenever you want and i will answer. if it doesn’t seem like i have, that’s because it’s in my drafts and being worked on because sometimes i’m unsure or have half finished thoughts i want to put the effort in fleshing out later bc y’all deserve headcanons that aren’t half baked. anyway i will literally never get tired of this it’s so fun
