[deltarune-role-reversal]

"deltaswap" concept - Deltarune Role Reversal (name may be temporary)

Deltarune Role Reversal is my concept of a deltaswap au, where instead of swapping roles and personalities, a change in circumstances have occurred, leading to the roleswaps.

LIGHTNER SWAPS (chapters 1 and 2, as more chapters come out more lightner swaps will happen)

Kris - Kris keeps their role as the vessel for the player, nothing much has changed with them. Since Susie is not in the main fun gang in this au kris has her hp values in the dark world.

Noelle - Noelle slept in on the first day of the group projects, leading to her joining Kris in their group project. She takes Susie's role in the dark world, and kris's hp values. Since she no longer is associated with the weird route Iceshock is the main damaging spell that you have, and you gain the ability to cast Blueshock when fighting the final bosses of each chapter.

Susie - Susie made it on time to class this time, and ended up pairing with Berdly. She shows up in the chapter 2 dark world where in the normal route she ends up realizing that violence and threats are not the solution to everything, like she does in chapter 1 of Deltarune. In the weird route, however, she uses Rude buster, which now deals fatal damage. The snowgrave replacement has not been chosen yet, but she casts it on Berdly, and instead of being encased in ice, he is just lying on the ground, with it being unclear if he is alive or not.

Berdly - Berdly keeps his role, but in chapter 1 he is the person you have to talk to to progress since Noelle is not there and Susie does not want Kris joining their group, saying "Hey, I am already IN a group, find your OWN!" Several of the chapter two interactions are different, as Berdly is still scared of Susie.

Asgore - Asgore is still the chief of police, and got the house in the divorce. This is subject to change if or when we find the reason Asgore and Toriel are divorced in Deltarune, but he is trying to repair his relationship with Toriel. He is an avid gardener, which will likely play into the Chapter 3 dark world when Chapter 3 is released (if there are things related to how Toriel bakes it will likely be replaced with flowers and other plants)

Toriel - Toriel is struggling to make ends meet with a teachers salary, so she started a small bakery near the lake, but she tends to give away food to others, she tends to bake Cinnamon-Butterscotch pies for other people in town. In chapter one she gives one to Kris, and you can decide to share it with Noelle right when you get it (who unlike Susie stays in your party when you exit the chapter 1 dark world,) or hoard it, keeping it to yourself, which Toriel is annoyed from, but not shocked. Doing this allows you to give it to Asgore, eat it in the light world (doing so would restore all HP, but it is unclear if you will be able to fight in the light world in the future,) or keep it for the dark world, turning it into an item that will bring all party members to max, since you cannot get the topcake in this (spincake is available however in the bake sale [more info on that in the chapter one darkners section] and in castle town from chapter 2 onward)

Papyrus - He has taken over his brother's store (temporarily) because sans is is "PICKING UP HIS SOCK"

As of now there are no more lightner swaps, but there are likely to be more when more chapters come out.

CHAPTER 1 DARKNER SWAPS

Ralsei - Ralsei keeps his role, but the interactions with him are much different, as Noelle also picks up on the fact he looks very similar to Asriel when he removes his hat.

Rouxls Kaard - Rouxls Kaard takes the place of Lancer, starting out trying to stop you he eventually warms up to you. He also tries to stop Noelle from freeing Kris and Ralsei as he does not want them to be hurt by the darkner who has taken it upon themselves to protect the dark fountain and carry out the will of the Roaring Knight.

Lancer - Lancer takes Seam's role as the chapter one shopkeep. After his dad mysteriously disappeared he started looking for him, instead finding a "cool house" with items inside, that he decided to start selling (so he could buy heart donuts from the bake sale) He is also the one who gives you hints on how to find the chapter 1 secret boss.

the original starwalker - he is pissed off

Malius - Malius is where top chef is in deltarune, but keeps his role, being the one to repair (and fuse) items and heal the party.

Top Chef - Top Chef is where Malius is in deltarune. The topcake is inaccesable as he already delivered it to Clover's birthday party. Talking to him allows you to purchace a SpinCake for 1000 dark dollars, or for free in castle town.

Seam - Seam takes the place of Rouxls Kaard, trying to stop you from reaching the dark fountain, and selling some items to you before the final fight. They are the court wizard, and are still the shopkeeper in castle town, seeming to know something about the dark crystals that you can collect.

Jevil - Jevil takes the place of the spade king, since the spade king was mysteriously missing the knight decided instead to put the jester in control of the dark world, since he was almost as powerful as the king. Since Jevil came into power he has acted differently than he used to, disregarding Rouxls Kaard, who used to be above him, and not being as close to Seam as he used to be. He does not hate lightners as much as King from deltarune does, but he still holds a grudge. After he is defeated Lancer takes over as king. In chapter 2 Jevil gets a room in Ralsei's castle.

King - King is the Jevil replacement. Someone strange contacted him, promising power beyond his wildest dreams. When he found the ShadowCrystal he started going insane, and tried to take over the dark world, but Seam managed to imprison him. His fight is in the red soul mode like Jevi's, and his attacks are just much harder versions of his attacks in the King fight, with his special attack being a barrage of large spades. Defeating him gets you either the ButterflyCloak (lowers the cost of heal prayer and gives more magic power, meant for ralsei) or the ChainWhip (does extra physical damage, increases graze range, and gives another attack to XSlash [which is not mentioned in the description])

Special mentions - The kings and the animals are in the other's cage, just being a purely visual swap. The triple-hathy encounter is three rudins instead, the rudin and hathy stand swap places in the bake sale, and Clover's outer two heads swap interests and personalities.

CHAPTER 2 DARKNER SWAPS

Spamton - Spamton the car salesman has managed to make it big in cyber city, even going as far as taking over the entirety of cyber world, and overthrowing Queen after encountering the Roaring Knight. He has taken an interest in Susie, thinking that she could help him by opening more dark worlds to spread his business to. Since he has not been corrupted by the man on the phone he does not talk the way he does in deltarune, instead being much more similar to the other Addisons. The arcade fighting game is also replaced with a racing game, and the final fight is a Mario Kart-esque experience, where you race against Spamton to gain items to damage his car, and dodge bullets.

Nubert - Everybody loves him.

Sweet Kappn' Cakes - The music trio keep there role as the rebels, not liking what Spamton has done to cyber world.

Maus and Mauswheel - Maus and Mausewheel take the place but not role of Tasque and Tasque manager, maus appearing in the cyber field coming out of the monitors.

Taskque and Tasque Manager - They take the place but not role of Maus and Mausewheel, Tasque showing up when you lovingly caress the cheese, scaring away the Maus. (Also if you manage to encounter a Maus with Susie in the party you can act with her to "upgrade" the Maus into a Tasque still, but as far as I know this is only possible if you get far enough into the Weird Route as all Maus encounters are repalced with Tasque encounters, and vica verca) Tasque Manager is in the kitchen trying to get the Swatchlings to work faster.

Queen - After being overthrown by Spamton she was forced to leave her mantion, but remembering a machine that Swatch made she checked the basement, and a plan started to form, but every time she tried to break back in she failed, eventually getting a call from someone mysterious, leading to her gong crazy. She has some form of malware, and wherever she goes she is followed by a Virovirokun, which seems to annoy her. Like Spamton she comes out of a dumpster and tries to convince Kris to help her. If you go to a shop she has set up in the garbage dump you can buy the KEYGEN, and also get healthpoison (called healthpotion in the shop,) VirusSword (Called AntiVirus in the shop, claims to deal extra damage against virus-type enemies) and the FakeCheck(Called CheckmarkBadge in the shop) (when you buy them and check them in the inventory they "glitch" and turn into the bad versions) When you get the empty disc she then copies her harddrive over to it, and then you put it into the robot. It appears to fail, but then when you turn to leave she ambushes you, trying to claim your soul to be strong enough to not only take back over the dark world, but escape the "strings" that the malware uses to control her. The fight, instead of using the yellow soul mode, uses the purple soul mode, since queen represents the internet (the world wide web,) pressing Z allows you to swap between the two layers (up-down, and left-right) (this will change if/when purple soul mode is used in a secret boss fight to reflect it's secondary gimmick.) Defeating her gives you either the FireWall, which decreases the tp cost for fire-casters, or the AcidGlass(Increases physical damage greatly, but decreases magic, meant to be equipped to Noelle)

No special mentions for chapter two

Please let me know if you would be interested in me making a sideblog for this AU where I would use the undertale text box generator to show how scenes would play out, talk about any other changes I think of, and have the ability to send asks about the au
