i made four of these au's for no reason xd anyways here's a quick overview of the main four from each au: SWAP!821verse (128verse): tri guy (swapped with mike): he's the main character in this au. not much has changed from his original counterpart, except for the fact he now wears an unzipped jacket and a scarf, similar to the og mike. mike (swapped with tri guy): he's the secondary-main of this au. no personality-wise differences, but he doesn't have a scarf, and he wears a hoodie. trigu (yellow tri guy and miker swap): yeah, trigu makes a grand return in this au. if you knew trigu before he evolved into yellow tri guy, you should know how he acts. feesh (swapped with plasma): if you remember feesh's original backstory (before the 2026 bios came out) then that's actually still relevant in this au. that, he wears a cap, and don't have no bowtie. FELL!821verse (820verse): mike: still relatively chill, but he's a pain in the [BAD WORD] to be around due to his rudeness and the fact he genuinely enjoys seeing people suffer. tri guy: can do nothing but force a smile, as he watches the people he once called friends turn for the worst. he acts very similar to how he does in the og 821verse, but he prefers isolating himself from the world. miker: a ravenous little beast hellbent on destruction. mike is forced to keep watch of him so he doesn't try to rip out someone's guts and eat them. sometimes he'll be let loose out of pure boredom. plasma: instead of just being nervous around new people, he outright hates anyone he doesn't already know. he's also still a friend of mike, but the two of them barely ever get along. DUST!821verse: mike: one of the only survivors from miker's massacre across the whole planet. he's somehow managed to hide away from him for long enough that miker thinks he's dead. miker: he's completely lost himself. ever since he found out the world he lives in is simply a simulation, he's decided it would be best to put everyone out of their "misery", so they wouldn't have to live a false life anymore. so far, he's been very successful in his mission. only a couple people remain. HELP_!821verse (888888888888888888888888888verse) m|ke: the singular "survivor" from the all the au's (including the original 821verse) colliding in on themselves. the only noticable difference is the powerful locket around his neck, and the fact that his face is completely missing. if you know about the og HELP_tale, you'll know the locket mike has in this merge of au's is capable of fixing the other characters. getting the locket, however, came at the cost of what once was ZP's life. everyone else in this au is just an amalgamated and melty-looking version of themself. it's hard to even describe them anymore. anyways that's all i've made really if you wanna add onto this or make your own au, you have the right to do so by all means :D i may or may not do this with the peakverse later on..
