“Not sure if this sounds a bit rude to ask, considering the AU’s circumstances, but will you ever reveal the character placements for the 8 other shifts? (That probably wern’t going to happen anyway.)”

I would, however there’s a certain issue that stops that from being plausible. My hard drive on my laptop died a few months ago and with it I lost a great deal of Storyshift assets. This is also one of the reasons why the reboot comic is also stopped production.



UPDATE: The .txt that held all of the roles’ has been recovered.

The only one I can recall is the second shift and some of the circumstances the player would encounter with it. And thankfully due to sharing some stuff in DMs with friends, I have some very old sprites to show!

The soulless flower (Flowey/Asriel role): Undyne, having revealed herself to the Ruins’ caretaker and only stopping from killing Frisk because of his pleas. One eye is heavily damaged due to a fight with a previous human.

The Ruins’ caretaker (Toriel role): Asgore, in exile with half his face burnt, blinded, and bandaged. He takes care of the heavily forested Ruins with the help of his son. He had made a declaration of war against humanity after a tragedy, but Toriel stepped up to overthrow him since she didn’t have the same close connection to the victims that he did.

The first miniboss that reappears in Waterfall (Napstablook role): Asriel, now looking like an older teen like Hyperdeath, helps his father with tending to the Ruins while writing stories based on his old edgy OC he made as a kid. Never has met Chara but knows about them.

The driving force in Snowdin (Papyrus role): Metta, a shy specter who wishes to impress the newly arrived human, only to be constantly defeated by his low self esteem.

The secondary force in Snowdin (Sans role): Blooky, attempts to encourage Metta despite not having any more confidence.

The driving force in Waterfall (Undyne role): Papyrus, takes his job seriously with a knight’s armor covered in spikes. Attempts to make several dramatic entrances, but they often fail.

The scientific helper in Hotland (Alphys role): Sans, the queen’s royal scientist and private lover. He would be helping out the player while trying to keep Chara out of trouble, to mixed results. Wears a snuggie under his lab coat.

The antagonistic force in Hotland (Mettaton role): Chara, has been converted to a cyborg to preserve their life after they first fell Underground. Appears to the Underground as a “human education robot with realistic skin”, much to their disgust. Desires to loose more of their humanity and pesters Sans to replace their flesh often. Likes Sans as a person but not as a father figure. Has never met Asriel.

The royalty in New Home (Asgore role): Toriel, having propped herself up as a benevolent leader after kicking Asgore out post-war declaration. However her alternate plans to break the Barrier have failed, many humans fell down and died all the same, and the public grew critical of her leadership. Acts as a mother to Chara, a lover to Sans, and wishes that Asriel didn’t choose to live with his father.

The narrator and cause of the situation Underground currently (Chara role): Alphys, she and Undyne were apprentices of Asgore that took things too far in breaking the Barrier. Both ended up dead and dusted as a side effect of an experiment with DT with the assistance of the Curiosity soul.
