Kris

BACKSTORY: Kris was adopted into a family of monsters at a young age, them being the only human in a town full of monsters… the town known as Hometown. Them being specifically adopted by two monsters known as Asgore and Toriel, having a brother named Asriel… although now both Asgore and Toriel are divorced, Kris living with Toriel. They were an outsider, although none of the other monsters in town treated them badly… them all welcoming them with open arms, Kris just never connected with them much. The one they connected to the most was Asriel, their adoptive brother, them being there for them all the time. That was until Asriel left for college, Kris becoming lonely afterward. Eventually, they’d end up meeting Susie, a monster that all the other monsters in school feared. Their teacher would ask the two to go to the closet to grab some chalk, Susie reluctantly going with them… that was until they discovered the closet seemed surprisingly big, the two going inside. They’d end up getting stuck inside, falling through the floor into a strange world… a world known as the Dark World! The two go to a place known as Castle Town, meeting someone known as Ralsei, him telling them about the prophecy… how a Darkner, a monster, and a human were destined to save both the Light and Dark World! Stating that there cannot be multiple dark fountains at once, and if there are… it could cause a world ending event known as The Roaring. Ralsei speaking of someone known as The Knight who is trying to bring on The Roaring, and how they’ll make Dark Fountains to bring this event on. Susie, of course, didn’t care… her ending up walking off, leaving Kris and Ralsei to go after her. Them walking into the Card Kingdom, it created by another Dark Fountain (created by the unknown within the spare classroom). They’d end up encountering Lancer, a self proclaimed ‘bad guy…’ him occasionally popping in and trying to thwart their progress, but always fails. Susie surprisingly joining Lancer, the two becoming a bad guy duo of sorts. That was until Susie eventually joined back with Kris and Ralsei, Lancer ending up tagging along… until he had the guards capture the three, only for their safety. The three eventually escaping, Lancer also giving in and letting them out despite his fathers wishes… the King being a true bad guy. The three would go through the Card Castle, encountering a Darkner known as Rouxl (the self proclaimed Duke of Puzzles, although he sucks at his job). They’d eventually make it to the top, encountering the King… and after a long battle, they’d defeat him. Afterward, Kris and Susie would seal the second fountain, restoring the balance of the Dark World. The enemies that they had befriended along the way now living in Castle Town, including Lancer and Rouxl… and the King, although he’s locked away. Lancer dubbing Rouxl his ‘lesser dad.’ During that adventure, Kris and Susie became good friends… them now being the best of friends, visiting the Castle Town regularly.

DARK WORLD DESCRIPTION: A Dark World is an alternate reality inhabited by Darkners. Dark Worlds are brought into existence by Dark Fountains and exist within various areas of Hometown (the "Light World"). Dark Worlds are powered by Dark Fountains, which a Lightner can create by projecting their "determination" into a sharp object and piercing the ground. When the surrounding environment becomes subsumed in darkness, the Fountain gives form to a Dark World. Each Dark World consists of the contents and environments of the Hometown location where it was created, although a Dark World can appear much bigger than the location's real size. Some Hometown items gain sentience upon the creation of a Dark World, forming a population known as Darkners, who differ from Hometown's/ the Light World's population, referred to as Lightners. As with their surroundings, all Darkners correspond to items found in a Dark Fountain's immediate vicinity. Darkner’s are unable to exist in the Light World! The two now waiting for another Dark Fountain to be made, and when it does… they’re gonna go ahead and seal it!

[FRIENDS] Susie: Susie is a tall reptilian monster with purple skin. She has thick, messy and long aubergine hair, with her bangs often swept to the right. Susie has black irises and yellow scleras that can glow in the dark, a snout, freckles on her cheeks, and sharp yellow teeth. Susie's bangs often casts a shadow around her eyes, which occurs when she wants to be intimidating or if in a somber mood. Susie has muscular arms, clawed hands, and has a short tail that wags when she is happy. However, she is embarrassed by the latter, and refuses to let others see or acknowledge it. Her Light World attire consists of a long purple cardigan, a white shirt, torn baggy long jeans and a pair of black shoes. In the Dark World, Susie's skin becomes lavender pink, and her hair is plum colored. Despite this, Darkners refer to her as purple. Susie's clothes gets replaced with a purple-trimmed, long black sleeveless vest, a sleeveless purple shirt, a black belt with a golden heart buckle, plum cargo pants, and black boots with golden soles. Additionally, around Susie's wrists and triceps are black bracelets with golden spikes. Susie is often rude, vulgar, and swears frequently. She is prone to being sarcastic, can make brutally honest remarks, and is quick to insult. At times, Susie threatens with physical violence, though this is occasionally as a joke. However, Susie has a different temperament to those who are kind to her. With friends, Susie is expressive, willing to talk about herself, and ask for their opinions. Susie favors teasing her friends and enjoys spending time with them. She is observant of their emotions, and tries to be considerate and not inquire about stressful topics. Susie is also loyal, readily wanting to assist a friend if they are in danger or troubled. She likes compliments, and is easily flattered. Susie also enjoys causing mischief and childish antics, such as trying to fit in a freezer. She appears to like eating in general, including non-food items, and receiving gifts. Susie is implied to have self-esteem issues.

Noelle Holiday: Noelle is a reindeer-like monster with short brown fur, a red nose, freckled cheeks, and prominent front teeth, as well as a pair of small antlers atop her head. She walks upright, and has long golden blonde hair. She wears a red and green checkered sweater with dark grey sleeves and a dark grey skirt. In the Dark World, her hair becomes pale blonde and her fur obtains a pinkish tone. She also wears a long white dress/robe with a hood and ample sleeves. Noelle is one of Kris’s childhood friends, her being a good friend of his… accidentally stumbling into a Dark World that was open in the Computer Lab, her now being friends with Susie as well. Noelle is friendly and cheerful, but also very timid, and sometimes has trouble saying what she's thinking. She apologizes often, and stays quiet about her feelings, such as her frustration with Berdly, out of fear. Her father says that "everything scares her," and describes her as "defenseless." According to him, she has a fear of humans hiding under her bed. This was made worse (or started) by Kris's repeated attempts to scare her when they were younger, including at least one time they hid under her bed. She shows to be more honest to Kris when it comes to her feelings and often yells at them when they pull pranks on her. She becomes more brave and less fearful during the time she spends with Kris and Susie in the Dark World.

Berdly: Berdly resembles a large avian with blue feathers, a yellow beak, and yellow legs. He wears black framed glasses, a collared white button-up shirt with striped sleeves, and a black shirt layered underneath. Berdly's head can rotate 180 degrees, similar to an owl's. In the Dark World, Berdly's feathers are a lighter shade of blue, and the whites of his eyes are bright green. He wears a "Smart Scouter" on his head that consists of an orange tinted lens and two white and green pointed headsets. His ensemble consists of an orange cape, futuristic white armor with pointed shoulder guards, bracers and leg armor. He wears a black bodysuit underneath this armor, and has green cloth wrapped around his waist. In battle, Berdly uses a green laser halberd with a yellow ax blade and yellow eyes embedded into the blade's head. Berdly is sarcastic, arrogant, and projects great self-esteem, claiming to be the smartest student in his class. At first, he is shown to be very disdainful towards his fellow classmates (especially Susie), but has respect for Noelle, whom he considers the actual smartest student. Appearing intelligent appears to be very important to Berdly, and he presents himself as such to others in many ways, one way being through making constant "intellectual" references. Berdly is very unaware of how others perceive him. Despite his arrogant disposition, Berdly is shown to not be as clever as he claims to be, only doing good because of Noelle’s help. He became semi-friends with Kris and Susie after accidentally stumbling into the Dark World with Noelle!

[DARKNERS] Ralsei: Ralsei appears as a short Darkner resembling a Nubian-goat like monster. He wears a wizard's outfit, complete with pastel-green tints on his clothes. He also has a long magenta scarf wrapped around his neck and dons a pair of green colored glasses. Him having pink shaded horns and pink fur accents. The sleeves on Ralsei's robe change to black, the edges more uniform-like, and the emblem on his chest is an inverted spade. Ralsei is very humble and kind, showing genuine care for the well-being of his friends to the point of selflessness. He becomes flustered when receiving gifts or affection, likely due to his past isolation and lack of familiarity with others. Although gentle and shy, Ralsei is equally courageous, as he seldom retreats in the face of danger and displays no fear in life-threatening situations. He desires to be useful to Kris and Susie, as well as his generally low self-worth. He expects to be abandoned by Kris and Susie when they manage to make friends in the Light World and thinks his sadness over the prospect is selfish.

Lancer: Lancer is a short and chubby black, blue, and white Darkner with a teardrop-shaped head and blue spade symbol on his body. The upper half of his face is hidden by a large, spade-shaped shadow. He has a large mouth and a prominent blue tongue that he usually sticks out. According to Kris, it is difficult to tell Lancer's body from his clothes. For example, it isn't clear if Lancer is wearing clothes, or if that's his natural appearance. Lancer is very childish and generally immature in his behavior and speech. Lancer seems to have unusual eating habits. Lancer loves his father despite how bad he treated him, Rouxl having always been a second father figure to him… that being the reason Lancer makes Rouxl his ‘lesser dad’ after his father was imprisoned. Lancer is the only one that genuinely respects Rouxl (aside from Ralsei, but Ralsei respects everyone)!

Rouxl Kaard: Rouxls Kaard is an adult-sized humanoid. His head is diamond-shaped, with long white hair parted to his left, and a face with a slightly melted appearance composed of two diamond-shaped eyes and a large mouth. He wears a royal blue suit with epaulets. In terms of color-scheme, Rouxls is a flashy deep blue except when in his shop, where he appears black. Rouxls acts very egotistically. He claims to be the Duke of Puzzles, and attempts to stop the party by forcing them to solve his puzzles. However, he is an incompetent puzzle-maker: each of his puzzles consist of the bare minimum of elements — a box and a button — and he makes no attempt to obfuscate the solution in any way. He also vandalizes clues on puzzles he did not create, in order to make them "harder." He uses Early Modern English speech patterns, presumably to appear educated, but this amounts to little more than replacing all instances of "you" with "thou," randomly adding "-est" and "-eth" suffixes, and haphazard capitalization of phrases for emphasis. When his pride is hurt, he doubles down by intensifying his misuse of Early Modern English to the point of incomprehensibility; but when surprised or stressed, he tends to drop it altogether.
