Aftertale(?) ideas:
-Why call it Aftertale? So many Fanfics called Aftertale.
* I am well aware of that but some of them have been short and not good ones that I have read, confusing ones and not so romantic ones. So I am stepping up to the plate and taking it by the horns.
+This takes place after all the monsters were free from underground. This will be mostly based around 10-11 years later.
-Why?
*Read it an you will find out.~
-How big is the city? Tell use about it.
*There are some tall buildings. Not skyscraper sixe but close. There's also a huge bridge for cars and people to walk on. Also there is a beach on the edge of the city.
-Are humans and monsters at peace with each other?
*When they first emerged, no. After quite a few years, yes, there are some people who are still ignorant about living with monsters. Some humans try to cause trouble for monsters to make them look like they're more trouble than help or simply dislike the idea of living with monsters.
-Is Frisk ambassador for the monsters?
*Frisk was awfully young when she was asked to be a representative for monsters. Yes and no, she wasn't alone, it was more of a team effort with Asgore, to gain some peace they've earned. Maybe even now it should be like that, to show that humans and monsters can live in peace with each other.
-Is there any humans that have sided with Frisk with this ordeal?
*Yes, well one or two. When Frisk and the monsters came from underground, everyone thought that Frisk too was a monster and or being manipulated. There was one person, a well known female scientist that was not ignorant to the possibility of Frisk not being a monster or acting like a puppet. Through many tests, she proved that Frisk was human and not possessed. With the scientists help with connections, she was able to get Frisk and Asgore an international wide speaking.
~Still thinking of another person
-Is there any special contract the monsters had to uphold?
Yes, monsters are not to harm humans. If an accident with/without bad intention to harm or out of self deffense, it has to be proven with solid evidence, otherwise a small punishment has to be shown. To give peace to the humans. If a human is harmed by officials of the monster court, including Frisk (Big no no). All monsters will return to the underground. Unless they had solid proof that it was out of pure self-defense.
*Also those monster that have no home, will be part of a night watch that will help humans if being robbed etc.
**Still tweaking it
-Who are the members of the monster court and what is there job?
* Well, I was thinking that back underground, there were few that served the king. Like the royal guard and Alphys. In this story, they keep monsters in line to make sure that they keep monsters under control and not terrorize the humans.
These characters are outside if the city to keep an eye on those monsters who wish to go see the world:
Mettaton: Travels around not only to entertain but was also re programmed by Alphys to keep peace. Visits back to frisk and the others now and then.
Our Fabulous royal guard couple: Travel the world together, Some what ordered by Asgore but desperately volunteered.
The Snowdin Shop keeper with her sister that runs the inn. Too many inns in the city so the headed out of town for travelers.
Our college graduate Temmie, who wanted to set out as well
Last, our doggy couple, Dogamy and Dogaressa. They wanted to set out to raise a litter outside and they had agreed to do so, for their litter
Those were our Minor members of our monster court, our main Members are our loveable characters (also are the one's that must not absolutely harm humans):
Frisk, She is proof herself that monsters and humans could get along
Asgore, To help atone for his past actions. Plus we was king in the under ground, most of the monsters still see him as king.
Toriel, She of course is a teacher but she was formal queen and felt she had volunteer to keep the other main members in line.
Papyrus, took it upon himself to help keep peace. Simple as that.
Sans, said he wanted to but was too lazy. Either way Papyrus volunteered him. A few years later, he asked if he could travel. (made up an excuse for that)
Undyne, had volunteered as well and dragged Alphys into joining as well.
Alphys, we know why but her and Undyne work together, travel around every now and then, if there is a major problem. They have settled in the same city as our main characters.
-What is there currency of money, gold or different?
*Well they are now in a different world where I assume it is more like our world. So the currency will be in dollars etc.
-Doesn't that mean their gold is useless?
*Not necessarily, The monsters had traded their gold in exchange for our currency. Trust me the check was fat. Undyne could burn 6 houses down and will a great life. Most of the monsters were quite wealthy, maybe another reason why humans could hate monsters. Up to you.
-About the monsters: through the years have any of them changed?
* I know monsters live for a long time. I think that every fifty years or depending on the monster, They have something that changes about them, sometimes small things sometimes big things. It all depends on the monster. So a few have changed.
-What have our favorite characters been doing with all this time?
*That will be answered now:
+Sans returns from trip he took after Frisk had turned 13 years old.
-Where did he go?
*He traveled around, outside of the city they had first settled in.
-Why?
*Well, it started with one reason. Then it became another reason after he had started his adventure.
-Does he look the same or different?
He will still have a jacket, shorts and most of the time his slippers…BUT they will be in a different style with a few things added. He will have a cerulean blue jacket that the edges will represent a bit of a fur pattern, Short fur, not long. Around the wrist and the bottom of the jacket, it has a white strip going through the middle. (I will draw reference later, also, His jacket is not like Gaster!Sans. It's still a big jacket like his old one). I want him to have pants(so he doesn't burn himself, he learned that the hard way), only when he is riding his motorcycle, which I gave him. But he doesn't like it so when he reaches his destination, he changes into comfy darker blue gym shorts. He wears his slippers at home or at a friends house. But most of the time now a days, he wears high top sneakers. And 80% of the time he will have finger less leather gloves.
-Okay enough about clothes, what about physical features?
* Well, I plan to have Sans go through some changes and experiences (Not EXP, not what I meant… Possibly? Still working it out) and because I would like for him to have that monster growth spurt. He's going to have small fangs, not noticeable till he opens his mouth. He will also be taller, still shorter than Papyrus by like a foot and a half. He will be the same height or possibly an inch taller than Frisk.
-Important question! Is Sans still "punny"?
*Very much so, otherwise, he wouldn't be the skeleton we know and love (would insert a pun but I couldn't think of one… I am so lazy)
+Papyrus, works at an elementary school Toriel works at, he is the Royal Gardener (He added royal in it.)
-Well is there anything significant about him?
* Umm. Not really he is the same old Papyrus. He did work at the cafeteria but they called his food "hazardous" but kindly gave him the gardener job. He's not bad at it, he actually gets complements and paid requests sometimes. He wears the same clothes except when he is working. He doesn't want to get dirt in the hard to get places.
+Toriel has been living happily with Frisk and Asgore.
-WAIT! And Asgore?!
*Yes, after the whole thing with Flowy/Asriel, A chunk of her "suppose to be" last thoughts were about Asgore. She decided to try to be friend with him, then after a few years, eventually they had rekindled their relationship.
*She's also a teacher like she wanted and she's good at it too. She wears a lot of old fashion teacher clothing.
+Undyne, happily married with Alphys and a self-defense instructor for kids.
-Yay! She got married to Alphys when?
*Frisk was 16 when they married.
-Has anything about her changed?
*Nah, she's the same with clothes and all. Except her hair, she has that one bang now that covers her eye patch.
+Alphys, a bigger anime geek and a scientist that helps to better the world.
-Has much changed about her?
*She's a bit more outgoing but still has her shy tendencies.
-Anything else?
Not that I can think of that I have already said.
+Asgore, He is the King….. of Gardening.
-Why?
*Well, I'm going by the credits of the game. Also it was something he enjoys doing. Plus he doesn't need a big job. He's freaking loaded from trading his gold and armor for our currency. He gave half of it to charities (divided) and lives in a cozy house in the suburbs on the edge of the city with Toriel and Frisk.
+Muffet and Grillsby, they are not together cause that's kinda weird. The one thing they have in common is that they both run successful businesses.
*Muffet runs a Spider themed café, welcomed to humans, monsters and spiders.
*Grillsby has a great restaurant, for humans and monsters.
*Nothing has really changed other than that.
+Frisk, living happily and going to college.
-Why did you make Frisk a girl? The gender of Frisk is suppose to be whatever the player wants him/her to be.
*Though that is true, through some of the dialogue and relationships, it can go either way.
But with the pacifist route, I could see Fisk as a girl, it feels right. Plus I am going to add romance to this story. If this one is successful, I might make this story again, slightly different and Frisk would be a boy. That is only a might, I still don't know.
-Ok, so what does Frisk look like?
*Well, she's 19. About 5"2 tall. She weighs about 150 lbs. Pear shape body. Shoulder length chocolate brown hair. Her eye color will be a dark caramel color, when she is oblivious or in bliss, she has them closed. She wears blue and purple clothing, sometimes pink and sometimes striped.
* She shines brighter than the sun and still very kind, just like when she was small.
-So she's going to college, for what?
* I don't know. I might leave it to where she doesn't know either for now.
-Does she do anything else?
* Well, she does but I am going to leave that for the 2nd chapter of the story.
-Does she talk?
*Yes, she always has. Otherwise how the heck did she tell them her real name at the end of the game?
Enough about the characters, what about the story?
*Well, this story takes place in the future 10-11 years as it says at the very top. And I hope to entertain you with a different story line to it.
-What do you mean by different?
*what if ghosts from the past started rising as soon as the barrier broke?
-What do you mean?
* I can't tell you that, you would have to read it.
-Ok, is this ok for everyone to read?
*No, I recommend 16+ older. There might be a few lewd and possible blood scenes. But there are going to be fluffy/ romantic stuff and some drama moments. I will post a warning at the top of the chapter.
-When is the first chapter coming out?
*Sometime this week or next week maybe.
This is a note to everyone who reads this:
If you have any questions about the story, I will answer them the best as I can. So please ask away. You will be a big help.~ They will also be added to this as well.
Questions from Luna-the-Nightblade
-Had Frisk been through the Genocide route or Neutral route?
*We know Chara was a spirit that had possessed Frisk most of the time in the Genocide route. In the end of the game when Chara had asked if Frisk wanted to erase the world, Frisk had enough strength to say she doesn't want to, though it was too late. Frisk was determined to set things right, start over better. In the Neutral route, Frisk did a better job not letting Chara take over. Though, in the end of the neutral route, no one was happy. So Frisk had reset again. This time, Chara had no power to take over. Which had left him in the in the dust. At the end of the Pacifist route, Frisk had gotten rid of the Reset button cause everyone had a happy ending. (might use this for a Summary)
-Is Chara going to be in it?
*Well what I read up on is if you go through the Genocide route or Neutral, A shadow appears near Frisk with red eyes. We can assume that's Chara. So yeah it's safe to say he will be playing a part in this story.
-Is Gaster going to be in this as well?
*He was mentioned in the first game, so he might be mentioned again or in it. Who knows. We will see.
