Okay but hear me out: Factiontale An Undertale AU in which each area is its own faction, at odds with all the others. Each Faction is unique, with its own style and flag and characteristics. Each Faction is led by a single Boss Monster, who decides how things are done in that Faction. The Factions are: -The Ruins, the closest thing to a neutral safehaven, led by Toriel. She allows monsters from all Factions to have safe haven in the Ruins--in exchange for news and secrets about the factions. -Snowdin and the surrounding Forest: Led by Papyrus. In an uneasy alliance with the Core/Castle Faction, due to the fact that Snowdin can provide the ice needed to cool down the core. In exchange, Snowdin gets the needed food they are unable to grow in the tundra. -Waterfall Faction, Led by Undyne. Waterfall is arguably the most dangerous area to navigate, due to the fact that is basically a dark, watery maze. Despite her superior strength, Undyne is unwilling to fight any of the other Factions. The reason is unknown to the other Bosses. -The Hotland Faction, led by Mettaton in name. However, Alphys is the one truly pulling the strings. While easier to navigate the Hotland, the inhabitants are far more dangerous, being of the fire, lava, and machine family lines. Not to mention the Experiments that Alphys performs... -The Core/Castle Faction, led by Asgore. Holds more Power then any others. Not only does Asgore control the Core-thus controlling the energy that is used throughout the Underground- but Asgore is in possesion of the most Human Souls (not to mention the rumor of W.D Gaster, a mysterious being who may hold the secret to escaping the Underground forever) The spirit of Chara and an anomaly by the name of Flowey keep the Factions from ever reconciling; they whisper fake plots and poisonous thoughts in the boss monsters dreams, keeping them wary and pitted against each other. Frisk must unite all the Boss monsters, and unite the Factions in order to free the monsters I just think that it could be lots of fun and there is so much potential? Grillby facing internal struggles as he chooses between his family in the Hotland Faction or his new life in Snowdin. Muffet using her spiders to spy on all the factions. Alphys and Undyne as the star-crossed lovers of opposite Factions. I just have a lot of plans for this AU
