AN: Welcome to Overtale! My first Fanfic ever on this website. Just as a note, I would like to introduce a bit about my AU and my interpretations of the characters, if you want to learn them as you go on (and not get some minor spoilers) than simply skip past the bolded passage, but please note that The POI will shift between Asriel and Frisk and will be symbolized with a completely empty line besides a centered asterisk (or as Sans would say, an astrefrisk) thank you and I hope you enjoy reading!
Basis of Overtale-
The basis of Overtale is simple, instead of the war ending in the monsters being locked underground, it ended in a stalemate of sorts, and to this day there is still underlying tension between the groups. Mostly, they have sectioned off into their own different countries, with some countries being more mixed, including this world's version of the USA(Which now stands for the United Species of America), which isn't actually much related to our world's version beyond geography and certain cultural similarities. Frisk lives with Asgore and Toriel (Who are still together since Asgore never tried taking human souls) as well as Asriel.
The Characters
Frisk- Frisk will be female, I think it will work better with the stories I want to tell, with a sister brother relationship between Asriel and Frisk. She will also talk, but only usually talking with her friends and family or when she needs to. She will still have her DETERMINATION, and she will be a pacifist whenever possible.
Asriel- Just a little care free goat kid. Since none of the things that often define most of his character arcs in slice of life stories above the surface(PTSD related stuff, Not feeling like he should be alive) never actually happened in this AU, I will have a much different place to take him, and before we even start. There will be no romantic tension (Beyond maybe puppy love) between Frisk and anyone else, or Asriel and anyone else. They're just kids after all.
Chara- Chara is still alive, but is just a friend of the Dreemurr kids, she has a short temper, but still loves Frisk and Asriel, and isn't a murderous psychopath. As you can tell by the pronouns, she is female like Frisk
Flowey- . . . You'll see . . . you'll all see
Just as a final note before I actually start the story, this isn't related to the Overtale fangame, (which I found while writing this) it just shares a name, and it also isn't mixing any other AUs, most of the characters are going to be at least close to their original selves, but with a few changes in ethier personality or actual traits (Alphys is more confident since the Determination tests never happened, Papyrus will be a much better cook, as it's his main passion since there's no royal gaurd, little stuff like that that are OOC)
Now before I literally spoil the entire thing, I introduce Overtale
