the concept for my horrortale take. this was made for two reasons: Horrortale!Sans is literally immortal, which would make him broken in my soul ops game, and drama surrounding the original. honestly, the former takes priority over the latter. original by: Sourapplestudios maybe if this au gets slightly popular, ill reveal some more lore. and maybe some more sprites. may take a while, since i'm not good at making sprites. or maybe ill even make a comic like the original? Story: The 9th fallen human, Frisk, falls into the underground, and Asgore, the emperor, is killed. The monsters, seeking a new leader, turn to Toriel. She instates a policy of non-hostility towards future humans that fall into their world. Monsterkind hates this decree. Undyne leads the rebellion, and becomes empress of the underground. Shortly after the phone call from the monsters to Frisk, the CORE is destroyed by...something. Someone. The destruction of the CORE fills the air with pollution, making it toxic. Their food source is lost, powered by the CORE, making food a valuable luxury. The worst of the toxicity happens near the CORE, but despite Alphys's pleas, Undyne remains in New Home. Alphys remains with her, slowly turning into a recluse. Meanwhile, everywhere else in the underground is starved. With only their own sources of food, they can't sustain their population. Eventually, Undyne starts to call strong monsters to her palace. The CORE turns on. The monsters called to the palace never return. Undyne eventually calls Papyrus, but Sans gets suspicious. He goes in Papyrus's stead. After a few days, Papyrus, reasonably worried, intends to go search New Home for Sans. He finds Sans bloody and injured, with the left side of his face bandaged, stumbling around. Undyne is nowhere to be found, and the Core runs out of power once more. Chaos ensues the underground, except for Snowdin, ruled by one decree: It's eat or be eaten. this guy actually has some canon fight themes: - RAPSCALLION by WassabiSoja - Normal mode (This is his normal mode, where he's hungry, but not starving.) - SCARECROW by Fazzy - Hunting mode (This is his mode when he's starving or injured. He'll do anything for food.) abilities: - He retains all bone abilities. They are smaller, though, due to starvation. - He doesn't have any blaster attacks since he came back from New Home. - He has a new "axe", which he sometimes wields in his left hand. Nobody, not even Papyrus, knows where he got it. It seems he only has one of these, though. - He has other axes, albeit weaker and smaller. It seems like he can magically manifest these, and they are made of bone, technically making these an extension of his bone attacks. - Eating food can magically heal his injuries. This is why he goes into hunting mode when injured. This doesn't fix his clothing, though, and even though he can, it doesn't seem like he uses it to heal whatever is wrong with his bandaged face. - He doesn't seem to kill anyone, except for when absolutely necessary; when he's injured or starving.
