#killer!dream

Lucid’s story begins with the apple incident. The villagers were attacking Nightmare(Acrid) and saw Nightmare eating the apples while being attacked. Dream tries to stop the villagers, but gets hit, so he struggles, fighting against them, and accidentally killing one of them. Eventually, he calls out for help and Chara responds (most likely from the instance of gaining LV in which triggers genocide route mechanics in Undertale) to help stop the villagers, but, in the end, he kills half in LV driven anger while corrupted Nightmare kills the rest. Given that human souls are a lot stronger than monster souls, Lucid gained LV a lot faster, as there were many humans.

Q: How does the Killer part/Chara’s response work?

Chara canonically says in Undertale, “[Name], the demon that comes when people call its name.” If you name yourself Chara, this piece of dialogue uses their name in that slot during Geno route. It does this with any name, but Toby also named Chara’s Easter Egg when you type it “The True Name”.

They were in the World Files and appeared to Lucid at first as the fated True Knife.

Since Lucid/Dream canonically isn’t a Sans, Chara’s ability of appearing in a sense where you make a deal with them causes their beings to fuse together.

Q: Is Nightmare(Acrid) any different?

Given that Dream has about half the LV that the “Original” Nightmare would have had, Nightmare isn’t exactly the same as the original.

He is still fully corrupted, however less tainted by LV, therefore less cruel and Passive is still alive. (This will be explained further soon)

Q: How does Lucid’s morals work? Are they like Dream’s?

Lucid does have LV, yes, and he has seen the horrors of human/monster interaction with beings they don’t understand, but he still believes that positivity should be in this world and kills those against his views or those too negative.

-Note: By too negative, I mean those who are cruel such as those who steal, kill, hurt others, etc.

He will not directly harm Nightmare though, as Chara can’t control Dream’s emotions about Nightmare as a brother, and doesn’t want to harm him as they both went through that incident and suffered from the village.

Also he doesn’t kill in public. He built up his skills overtime to be like that of an assassin.

«You could say he is quite a “Killer” with that knife of his. ;]

… okay I’ll leave 😔»

Q: What about Acrid's views?

Nightmare still has negative world views and does something similar to Lucid, killing those against his views or those too positive. However, he could give less of a fuck if they saw him or not.

Q: Do Lucid and Acrid interact?

They do interact and have little fights like the Star/Bad Sanses would, but for now it’s just them. Eventually, I’ll probably work out who would join their teams if they decide to have them.
