Third post on the AU I'm pretty sure nobody noticed, but still exists anyway.
In this one I'd like to talk about FC (this ISN'T their canon name), and specifically code-related stuff about them. As I specified twice previously, they got their code destroyed, so what happened to all the code-needing stuff then? The answer is quite simple.
They're gone.
HP? Gone. EXP? Gone. LOVE? Gone. ATK, DEF, GOLD? Completely, absolutely gone. If you killed them (and to kill them means you have to find some way to make their spirit no more bound to this world and their determination) you wouldn't obtain anything. If you try to pull them into a Fight it won't work. They can physically harm you, but no damage will occur to your HP. They can only be harmed physically, and magic will work on them only if it can do just that (a bone sent at slow speed at them will only bonk them instead of dropping their inexistent HP). If they want to kill, they have to do it at a physical level. If they killed, it would happen what happens when you kill someone in the real world, no EXP or LOVE included.
I developed this mechanic based on a set of dialogue strings Toriel says in the Ruins.
If you go through the Ruins and get hurt in a fight but heal yourself (with a SAVE file or food) Toriel will still notice you're hurt physically, and she says she will try to heal you. If you go through the Ruins and you don't get hit, Toriel will comment how impressive it is that you managed to do so. This led me to conclude physical injuries exist in Undertale and they can be caused by magic as well and magic does not damage only your soul. That gave me the start jump of developing FC's ways of getting hurt.
By the way, in this AU the SAVE ability and the Reset button are an exclusive of the Player, since 1. They technically were the most determined being in the world, or at least were until this little incident (their superiority in determination is what allowed them to control FC in the first place) 2. Even if FC wanted to use them, these abilities can only be used by beings with a CODE, so they automatically go to the Player anyway 3. They are what ties the Player to this world, and if they exist the Player will always find a way back. However they can't use it since to physically press the buttons it requires a vessel that is the most determined as well, and since that role now belongs to FC it creates a situation where nobody can use the buttons.
That's pretty much all I wanted to say. As per usual, thank you for reading this post and coming to the end, feel free to leave a question in the ask box if you have doubts, if you like this AU consider subscribing to see when other posts come out and check out the real story on Quotev. Adieu, mon cheries!

LOVE SHOTGUN, I SHALL NOT BE DEFEATED!!!
Ok, here we go. First of all, oh my god your drawing is amazing, I cannot properly express how thankful I am because of the fact you made it. Shame that isn't their canon look, they look more like a fusion between Frisk and Chara. Second of all, the answers
1) FC has the memories of both Frisk and Chara, and yes, their personality is a mixture of their consciences, but somehow they are neither...? It's difficult to explain, but take as example, idk, a cake. There are many different ingredients, and the cake is a mixture of them, but it's at the same time something brand new. I'm trying to show it in the story in the clearest way possible, but it's difficult because in my vision Chara and Frisk are very different, and they are still soulless so they don't get to show much of their personality anyway. Right now, they are kinda apathetic and very confused on what is going on.
2) yes, the spirit produces everything regarding your trait/magic, and in my vision IT is the culmination of your being, not the soul. Let's say the spirit is you. It obviously changes from monster to monster to human to human, producing this way different kind of magic attacks (for monsters) and traits (for humans)
3) kinda like monsters, yes. It's a nice way of putting it, never actually thought about it before. Anyway, as I said the spirit produces determination (physical) and USUALLY, the soul stores it. HOWEVER, since both the soul and the body were gone their determination (physical) condensed to survive, this way forming a very unstable vessel. The soul usually stabilizes and controls it, but unfortunately that is not an option anymore. So yeah, you're right. Exploding means all the determination they have suddenly lashes out in a burst of energy so intense, it can actually destroy not only the AU itself, but the entire UTMV. Yes they are that determined
4) yes, yes, and yes, their determination (physical) is so condensed it acts like a physical body. Imagine like it changed its molecular composition, while still maintaining its characteristics.
Hope my answers satisfied you, and don't worry about the number of questions. I enjoy answering them. I have a little favor to ask you though, next time could you please ask them with the ask button? Thx.
Hey, I noticed you seem to be interested in the AU I'm working on, and I wanted to 1) thank you 2) tell you that if you have any doubts about it, you can ask and you shall be given a detailed and long answer
Greetings! Yes, I'm quite interested in AUs which involve the Player in some way. I love seeing the idea being explored. I have many questions regarding your AU, Soulless!tale. Since you did say you'd give a long answer. I'll try to limit the amount of questions you'll respond to. (I'll be referring to the Player sometimes as we/us/our)
Does FC have a combination of Frisk's and Chara's personality or is it fully separate? Or is this completely irrelevant as they are soulless? (Flowey has a personality despite being soulless)
Does the spirit produce everything involved with magic? Like magic attacks and food? (I would guess the food is laced with magic as they miraculously heal us/our vessel)
Since FC's body is just condensed determination. Does this mean they are similarly built to monsters? And the reason they can be at risk of exploding (no idea what this means) is because they don't have a soul to stabilize them?
HP and physical health are different from one another, yes? And HP only can get hurt by magic attacks while physical health can only get damaged by physical attacks? What does this mean for FC? As their body is made from magic and can only be damaged by physical attacks. Is their body just so condensed that only physical damage can be dealt?
This is all for now. I have other questions but they aren't as complex/interesting as these one's I gave. I am looking forward to your answers and your AU! It sounds very interesting! Have this ms paint doodle of what I imagine FC looks like!
please reblog for a bigger sample size :)
Wtffffff
i might not show it, but the discovery that in undertale, sparing only papyrus while killing everyone else leads to sans telling papyrus their friends are on "vacation" n would be bsck soon has been on constant replay in my heart for years
this game's guilt-inducing prowess is unparalleled. there is quite literally no other route you should ever take playing this but TRUE PACIFIST
LIKE OHHH U MISS HER?! OHHHH IS THAT SO?? OH OKAY HAHA... I SEE HOW IT IS... it's not even me who's played this route and i still feel my sins freaking salsa dancing on my back
additionally, if you spare everyone but choose to kill papyrus (which, by the way, warrants turning urself in to the authorities as there would literally be no greater evil than Thy), the noticeable shift in mood is palpable in snowdin:
PAPYRUS IS THE HEART AND JOY OF SNOWDIN IM GONNA CRY
and now for my least favorite piece of dialogue abt papyrus' death:
reading this at first i was like pshh the hell does this even mea- OHHHHHHH PAPYRUS' DUST IS ON US DOGGO IS SMELLING IT ON US OHHHH MY GODDDDDD HE THINKS WE'RE HIM

Ok, so.
I don't exactly know what I'm doing, this is the first time I post something on Tumblr, but anyway.
I want to present you an AU of Undertale that has been on my mind for a while, and here I intend to write the main things about it.
Practically, in this AU Frisk is an actual person, a separated entity from the Player that got themselves possessed by it. Kinda like Kris in Deltarune, yes. The difference between the two of them is that Frisk can't just extract their soul by force and so they're stuck in their own body, controlled by a superior entity (PLAYER). Frisk desperately wants to be freed, but when the Player inserts a command in the code of the game, plays yet another Pacifist run (of the many runs they already did) and fights Asriel, Frisk will learn that said freedom comes at the cost of their soul. During the last attack their soul literally breaks, despite it being impossible normally, and their code gets erased. Since they are a determination soul though, and determination can break the game, all the determination they produce gets condensed and forms a new body for them, so now they are a soulless, codeless and unstable entity that goes around risking an explosion of raw power at any moment. In all this mess, Chara gets fused with Frisk's conscience too, so now they are like one different entity from both Frisk and Chara. Meanwhile, in the "real world" the Player changes computer (because their old one crashed in the battle) and reopens their Undertale files. This causes the game to try and execute a True Reset, without much success since now nobody remembers anything, but the barrier is broken and Frisk's/Chara's situation is the same.
This is all the background you need to know to understand the general idea. I'm still working on the full-length story, it's on Quotev and I intend to post it on Wattpad too under the name of Soulless!tale. It's not yet finished, and I wrote down only a couple of chapters, so don't be mad at me. This is the first time I write something for someone to read, and I'm not American nor British, so forgive me if my english is bad.
This is all I wanted to say. I'm sorry if my rambling annoyed you, and I hope you will find my story amusing.
INK SONG WHOO!! this video took so much out of me, thanks Ink
