(Im not sure if that name is taken and its just a temporal name, it will be changed later)

Tws: Genocide, death

Just a heads up, this will be a long post cause i have no idea how read more works in mobile, also i do not know if someone has had this idea before so bruh, anyway here we go:

Basically, the concept is that instead of Chara being the first fallen child, Frisk will be the first one to fall instead in an underground where Asriel hasn't been born yet, effectively swapping Chara and Frisk's roles

And also Asriel is still just a child on Chara's arrival and he will help them go through the underground

This idea was based mostly on Epictale! But in this case it's on the classic undertale. Epictale by @yugogeer012

Frisk being the first one to arrive made A LOT of changes in the underground, some of them being by example:Toriel and Asgore didn't get divorced or anything, but they have been separated for decades, some monsters being more passive, while others are more aggressive, a similar yet fairly different underground with new chara-cters and more.

I still haven't figured out a lot of stuff so yeah this will have plenty of plotholes or things that make no sans-e. But anyway

Characters:

Frisk:Attack 20 Defense 25

*The first fallen human

*A rather kind and passive human child who heavily dislikes humanity and loves their monster family,while most of the time they act very nice sometimes they can lash out revealing their not-so-friendly side,their metods to achieve what they want or to do what they think is right are a bit extreme sometimes,loves puns and dominates flirting, their favorite food is charamel and chocolate

Chara: Attack 30 Defense 20

*The last fallen child

*A sassy and almost creepy human child,they hate humans but they're a bit more nice to monsters, they love chocolate,hugs and golden flowers

*Asriel is their best friend

(Chara's personality will heavily change depending on the route)

*Toriel: Everyone's favorite goat mom, she stays mostly the same but she is more protective and better trained at fighting, her fight is significantly more difficult in all routes

Asgore: The king of the underground and a big fluffy dad, his fight is a lot more difficult since he feels even more guilty and he's more desperate to end this, he wields his good ol'trident and will sometimes use a knife, he fights in genocide too. Asriel is forced to stay on the entrance to the throne room by royal guards so you have to face the king alone

Asriel: Everyone's favorite fluffy boi, he becomes Chara's best friend in just a couple days and he will help them go trough the underground

He's against murder but he will protect Chara either way and might even take a life for them

In genocide he will disappear after Toriel's death

He's 12 years old

THE GREAT PAPYRUS: Paps is a former member of the royal guard and he is a lot more serious with his job, he still won't kill you and there's also a lot less puzzles on Snowdin because of his job and instead there's a lot more royal guards in the way (mostly dogs)

He still hates his brother's puns and still has great self esteem but he is more aware of many things,he has a bit of knowledge on timelines and resets thanks to Sans but he still does not know when a load happens

Sans: The funny bone man, brother of Papyrus and another member of the royal guard (against his will) Sans is one of the characters with the most changes, he joined because of Papyrus and now has 2 Defense and 2 Attack, still 1hp, still does a lot of puns but just like Papyrus he's more serious and he will fight you once before the fight with paps to prepare you (he can't be killed in that fight as he will dodge and he will use only some simple bone attacks). He fights you on all routes in the last corridor unless you're in neutral and you didn't kill Papyrus, he is not the last genocide boss anymore, still has gaster blasters and karma but both are used only in genocide

Mk:????

Undyne: More ruthless and negative, her fights are all harder but not too much, she is even more determined than before and bleeds during genocide route, her undying form is pretty much the same but the heart in her armor is constantly changing from green, yellow and to white

You'll depend on Asriel to survive

Alphys: Our number 1 lizard nerd

Alphys is another character that's pretty different, she's more confident but she still is very shy, she's also more less kind at the start so you'll have to make her trust you first, she'll be against you for a bit in hotland but she will start to help you once Mettaton tries to kill you with the chainsaw (which by the way it's an usable item here and you get it on all routes after the Mettaton fight, it's the second most powerful weapon only behind the true knife)

Mettaton: He's literally the same, in fact he's a bit easier but has a longer fight and a couple new weapons, in genocide his NEO form can take only 7 hits but the attacks are very long and devastating. Asriel stays out of this one as it's a 1v1

Napstablook: they're a little bit more confident but still incredibly shy, their fight is easier but takes a couple more turns and you will need Asriel to help you

Muffet and Grillby: They united their places in order to have a better chance for their businesses to survive, it worked out really well but they constantly fight. Muffet is the exact same but a bit more stressed and Grillby is more talkative, Muffet offers drinks now aswell as spiders, and the same goes for Grillby

Temmies: hOI

Red: yes baby Red is here too, she appears around the CORE with 2 dog guards (which she mentions on her original fight) and she's an main boss and character

W.D:????

There's some additional characters that i added, like Captain froggit, yes their name is literally captain so their position is quite convenient, and a few more here and there

Toby isn't here, instead there's a wolf with... An smiling face? (yep that's me)

A few additional changes:

Frisk is viewed as an mostly chaotic neutral and inclined to chaotic good, but in genocide this changes ti chaotic evil

Yes Frisk is the narrator and acts somewhat similar to Chara

Both Chara and Frisk use they/them, i personally view em both as female and nonbinary respectively but i'll leave it like this to avoid discourse or anything

Napsta is nonbinary and uses they/them and he/him, prefers they tho, i left them like that since i haven't seen much discourse about Napsta's gender so bruh

Sans and Paps are ??????'? sons

Since im no Toby Papyrus can use his special attack (which is a blaster here) but he will hold back by himself in his fight

Some notes:

There's some guard campaments and the royal guard headquarters, only the campaments are accessible but you can see the hq from far away

You can ask me any doubts or anything idm

There will possibly be a comic, plenty of art, a written version or even possibly a couple playable fights in the future, but it will be a while before that happens

Odds are it will be all written but im not sure yet, references will be on an individual post

The au name is subject to change

*It turns out my dreams of being a star would stay just that. *…a dream…

Happy Easter!

“HEY SANS, I MADE MYSELF LOOK LIKE A COOL DUDE!” Papyrus swirled around in his swivel chair quickly, looking up from the computer. Sans used to be outside of the room, but interestingly he was no longer there. It took a couple seconds for Papyrus to realize where his brother might have went to, and realized that he probably went outside to his post. When Papyrus checked his watch, he then quickly noticed the time.

It was 5 minutes after when he was supposed to be out on watch.

“SANS WHY DID YOU LEAVE WITHOUT ME?” Papyrus yelled when he knew he was right near Sans’ sentry station, and turned the corner to see his brother sitting there lazily.

“Oh, sorry you were so into your drawing thing that I decided to let you take a break, bro,” Sans said lazily.

“WHAT? ME! TAKE A BREAK?!” Papyrus looked at his brother incredulously. Sans shrugged with his legs reclined on his station, eyes half open.

“Yeah, bro, definitly! Like I feel you could take a day off if you’d want to!” The fact that Sans mentioned that idea to Papyrus made Papyrus quite annoyed.

“BUT IF I DO THEN WE CAN’T CAPTURE A HUMAN! A HUMAN WOULD WALK RIGHT BY YOU SANS, AND THEN WE WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO CAPTURE IT! (AND ALSO I WANT TO MEET A HUMAN TOO, SANS, YOU KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF MY LIFELONG DREAMS)” Papyrus argued. Sans shrugged at his brother, and Papyrus walked up to the sentry, seemingly excited.

“I DO HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU, HOWEVER!” Papyrus chirped to his brother, who looked at him curiously. “WHEN WE GET HOME! IT’LL BE GREAT!”

“Ok, bro, feel free to show me it after we finish this, however,” Sans smiled at Papyrus, and Papyrus did the same, as Papyrus ran down the path on his everyday daily routine.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple months later, Papyrus saw a human.

Yes, Papyrus saw a human. We’re not making that up. Like, seriously, it’s on the blog here @undertaleswitchtale. Calm down, and check it out.

Papyrus was going down a normal day that consisted of his brother hanging out around the station and Papyrus running up and down the paths of Magmount, laughing at the jokes that he thought about in his head. The only time he stopped “Nyeh”ing was when he saw an unusual shape on the path through Magmount.

He was almost certain it was a human. Papyrus quickly felt in his pocket if the picture he put in there weeks before was still there, and was happy when he felt the piece of paper right where it was supposed to be.

Papyrus’ plan was to give the human a whole lot of puzzles to make the human be friends with him. But when he made the beautifully crafted version of his Cool Dude picture by adding  a picture of spaghetti to the background, he changed his mind.

He decided to just go ahead and give the picture to the human. Clearly, the human would love the picture, and would be his friend. That’s the only logical conclusion to the problem at hand.

“Nyeh he he…” Papyrus said under his breath menacingly in the fog where the human couldn’t see him. The human whirled around, but only Papyrus could see it. He ran off and summoned at orange axe attack which flew behind the human where they couldn’t see it. They twirled around again, but couldn’t see the attack.

That's how great the Great Papyrus was. Clearly the most greatest of greatest.

Very much a Cool Dude.

Papyrus, cackling under his breath, said “Nyeh” over and over as the human ran in fright of his michevious ways. He thought the human running was halarious, and always hid just away form his vision. The human was lured into a corner, and quickly turned around again right infront of the “NO TRESSPASSING” door. Papyrus leaped behind the human as stealthy as a boney cat, and spoke:

“HUMAN,” He started his heroic speech when he realized his glasses were about to fall off. He had already started, and he timed it perfectly already and there was no such thing as redos. The Great Papyrus would and could not deal with failure, and needed it to be 101% right.

“TURN AROUND…” He went to grope on the floor for his glasses. He couldn’t not time this speech incorrectly, so he told the human what was happening.

“WAIT! HOLD ON! I NEED TO CONFIRM IF YOU ARE A HUMAN!” Papyrus found his glasses and shoved them onto his face as fast as skeletonly possible.

“HANG ON, I ALMOST HAVE IT…” Papyrus adjusted his glasses so they would fit perfectly on his nose.

“THERE!” The glasses were perfect now, and he could continue.

“HUMAN!” He wirled around dramatically, to see the human already looking at him. He looked down in doom, and was absolutly confounded that the human could foil his plan.

“OH NO! YOU WERE LOOKING ALL ALONG?! MY PLAN HAS BEEN FOILED!” He gasped dramatically, as the human looked at him plainly with no expression. Oh. That was because they had a gas mask on.

Maybe that’s why people didn’t tend to come to Magmount. Because it was dangerous. He’d have to work on a experiment for that, however. Papyrus reminded himself to keep that in mind for his next report.

“IT DOESN’T MATTER I’LL IMPROVISE!” Papyrus said in a positive mood as the human responded. He heard the human say something under their breath, but he was already pushing them into the NO TRESPASSING area, where Sans’ station was set up. “SO LETS BE HASTY!”

“WAIT!!!” Papyrus heard the human yell, but didn’t stop. He continued pushing the human through the paths of Magmount, and stopped right infront of where Sans was sleeping.

“SANS!” Papyrus yelled at his brother. His brother then opened his eyes and looked at the human, and closed them again.

“Hey” Sans talked to the human.

“SANS IVE CAPTURED A HUMAN,” Papyrus exclaimed enthusiastically.

“Ok.”

“SANS IT’S INFRONT OF YOU.”

“Ok.” He stood up and walked to the human, and stood next to Papyrus. Papyrus then realized that he forgot to sign the beautiful picture, and had to run back to the house before the human left. He stealthily took off as if he was the opposite of a snail (Papyrus thought this would be the fastest thing ever, and that nothing could be faster than that. Little than he knew, there was a thing called the ‘Cheetah’). He ran to the house, slammed open the door, grabbed a pen, wrote a insanly messy signature down, and ran back just in time to see the human walking away from the station.

“HUMAN!” Papyrus ran and caught up to the human. “I REALIZED TAHT AS MY NEW FRIEND WE WON’T BE ABLE TO TALK OFTEN, BUT FEAR NOT, I FOUND A SOLUTION!” He handed the picture to the human, just like all of the times he practiced infront of the mirror. The human studied it for a second and then looked up at him. “SO IF YOU FEEL LONELY YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS AND BE REMINDED OF MY COOLNESS.” Papyrus gave the human the most happy smile that he could muster.

“DONT LOOSE THAT PICTURE! AND SEE YOU LATER HUMAN AND YOUR SPOOKY FRIEND!” Papyrus took off like the opposite of a slug, clearly, and ran as fast as possible to where Sans was waiting.

He didn’t know that the human through the picture into the lava. And he never would know. Thank goodness.
