#supertale

Alright, ref sheet for Supertale!Undyne!

Her current alias is Starlight, but she went by Knight when she was first starting out as Toriel and Asgore’s sidekick when she was a teenager.

Her power is hard light manipulation: she can summon solid constructs out of light. She mostly uses it for spears and to summon platforms in the air to parkour on because she’s extra like that.

uh so i found some concept sketches for an undertale superhero au i did back in 2022 and i may have gone a little wild with it

tentatively calling it supertale for now but that’s subject to change if i think of something better

so. basic premise: it’s an au where there was never a war between humans and monsters and instead both are coexisting on the surface. instead of monsters having magic and humans having determination, both species are pretty equal in general power and ability. the only magic in this au is superpower related, and the odds of a given person getting superpowers aren’t really affected by their species. (though the cast is still almost all monsters because, y’know, canon)

and instead of their canon roles, pretty much everyone is either a superhero or a supervillain, and they have cool fights and stuff. s tier concept i know they should give me an oscar for this

main plot follows frisk, who is 14ish in this au because my suspension of disbelief with regards to child superheroes can only stretch so far. they’re a small-time hero, mostly rescuing cats from tress and helping old ladies cross the street and all those genre staples, when suddenly (pause for audience gasp) they’re approached by queen (toriel), one of the most popular heroes out there, and she wants them to become… her sidekick! (shocking i know but please hold the standing ovation folks)

but…! recently, some unknown, nefarious villain who no one’s ever heard of (flowey. it’s flowey) has been taking out younger heroes, leaving their bodies in public areas with gruesome warnings about the fate of children who play at being soldiers… and frisk is next on his hitlist (the suspense is off the charts, i know, but try not to fall off the edge of your seats just yet)

thankfully frisk secretly has time powers so they’re just fucking with him for the lols instead. setting up roadrunner traps. tricking him into opening doors with paint buckets on top. getting him to walk under anvils at the perfect moment for them to land directly on his head

totally lied to you all when i said i had designs for every major character already. i totally skipped mettaton. i knew his role in the au and everything but i didn’t have any drawings for him at all.

as of now that is no longer the case. it’s possible i’ll still tweak some stuff before he shows up in the comic, but this is his design for this au.
