* Isn't it beautiful, everyone?
This article contains information that is from a completed AU. All parts of the story have been released and are readable at any time. |
Delta Memory is an AU (alternate universe) of the role-playing video game Deltarune. An idea was created on March 23, 2023, when thinking about what would be Deltarune if seen from the other side. The story started to be written on April 13th, 2023.
The adventure follows the vessel and the goddess of this world, named Angel.
This universe follows some rules that relate to the importance of memories:
- The memory heads of Undertale are, in fact, the councilors of this universe. Each of them proves that the Darkners are suffering since being separated from the Lightners.
- The Delta Rune symbol is a goddess shaped like it who cares about citizens and wants to create a new world thanks to shadow crystals to erase all bad memories and pain.
- Each dark world is based on a hobby that allows you to create fun memories. -Board game Video games - -Television- -Theater- -Esoteric- -Nostalgia- -Dreams-
A hierarchy is present; the angel is the highest entity; under her, we find the six apostles, each leading a dark world, helped by one councilor. So there are also six councilors.
There are 6 true dark worlds, as Castle Town is a beta dark world with a faulty fountain, creating only Ralsei, and the Angel Citadel has a dark light fountain, not counting as a dark world because of it. The number 6 is important as the world was created by Gaster, represented by the number 6.
Characters[]
Delta Warriors (Above: Berdly-Noelle-Ralsei-Kris-Susie) and Delta Guardians (Under: Vessel-Angel-Gaster-Dess-Gerson) - Created by HelianTheFox
Dess[]
Another deer girl, higher than Noelle, and with dark hair, different from Noelle's blonde hair. She isn't a fan of snow or any icy things and is more into occult; she has studied so occult with Asriel, Kris, and Cathy. She uses dark magic, demonic-like, and fights with strong spells like a witch that can poison foes. She disappeared, making Noelle sad a month ago, because she fell into a dark fountain. She got somehow captured and tortured by the pawn in Occult World and kept imprisoned until she was saved. That happened because she opened a temporary, dark link to this dark world through chanting.
Gerson Boom[]
An old, grumpy turtle with a cane and brown explorer jacket and hat was the first Lightner to fall into the first Dark World before Dess. He ended up being welcomed by the Angel in her dark world, the Citadel of the Angel, where she gave him knowledge about the Dark World and made him the second member of the group "Delta Guardians" with a surname, Lord of the Hammer, and lore keeper. Possess devastating magic thanks to his hammer, creating shock waves.

Kris[]
A mysterious being that underwent the same process as a vessel to join the world was denied the ability to create their own body and instead got transferred into the body of someone called Kris. Highly manipulative, will try to gain the trust of others to use them to cause pain and suffering by sweet talking and using weak points. They are the first members of the opposite group called "Delta Warriors", which follows a different prophecy than the one from the Angel. Whereas Angel promotes the creation of dark fountains and saving darkners, Kris wants to close dark fountains and eradicate any darkners. This group is considered an enemy by the Angel, Vessel, and Gerson. Want to cause the roaring and summon the roaring titans to destroy the world and pass to another one?
Lancer[]
Funny little guy, son of Spade King, guides the Delta Guardians to his father through Card Kingdom. As the Angel and her friends leave the Kingdom, he and the spade king get captured by the Delta Warriors as prisoners.
Noelle[]
A deer girl likes Christmas and snow and has a big sister called Dess. She has a crush on Susie but will get enrolled by Kris to cause mayhem wherever they pass. Her mental state will degrade rapidly, seeing Susie getting more and more distant from her behavior, which she justifies as correct as it makes her stronger and pleases Kris. Originally caring and kind, staying near her sick father Rudy and worried, his death will break her and push her to take drastic measures against her own rude mother and friends for the sake of getting strong and not anymore affected by feelings, to the point of ending the lives of her mother Carole and her friend Berdly. She uses ice magic to fight and can cause blizzards in frozen buildings by manipulating heat.
Player, aka Vessel[]
A mysterious being that appeared originally in the void as a soul, until a mysterious voice offered them to create a body, a vessel, in order to feel and discover that world they were transported to. Independent and curious, try to always find the best solutions to problems. The third member of the group of heroes called "Delta Guardians" accomplishes the angelic plan to create the angel's heaven. Look like a human with blue clothes.
Queen[]
Funny and smart, she rules over the Cyber World, like the Angel; she believes in fountain creations to save Darkners and create a better world; she refers to world dominance when speaking of how she manages her dark world; but she only wants the best for her subject, to the point that after a ferocious battle, she will help and cure Spamton corruption with one of her friends, a hacker. She owns a mansion as the second apostle.
Ralsei, God of eternal Darkness form - Created by HelianTheFox
Ralsei[]
The Dark Prince was a lonely goat before Kris and Susie joined him, passing through the dark portal of the closet. He protects his dark world, Castle Town, which hosts the first Neo-Dark Fountain. The dark fountain of the Ralsei world is special and an experiment to copy the fountain from the angel; its creation, made by Gaster, only created Ralsei. The flaw has been fixed for other fountains to allow more Darkners to appear with fountain creations. He is the third member of the group "Delta Warriors" and follows Kris's orders very carefully, like his best friend. But it is because they are indeed best friends, linked by memories, or Asriel and Chara. Kris is indeed, in fact, Chara.
Roulxs Kaard[]
A tall man wearing a dark blue mantle, blue skin, and white hair Once found by the Angel in Card Kingdom, he is hired to spy on the Delta Warriors and slow their progression down, a job he does perfectly until dying tragically in Occult World when Noelle arrives, trying to stop the Delta Guardians from continuing their prophecy and plan and freeze him on her way.
Spamton[]
A salesman that used to sell cars in Cyber City, making deals and being successful, his affair was working thanks to his cameraman, Mike, but Tenna interfered to cut the link between the two dark worlds, preventing Spamton from receiving calls from the Techno world, ruining his business. Tenna tried to force Mike to be his assistant instead of working with Spamton. A mysterious man then offered Spamton a powerful shadow crystal to allow him revenge against those who hated his success, Addisons, and even the members of Queen Mansion who threw him away in garbage. He is the second councilor.
Starwalker[]
A star-shaped creature, sensed to be the seventh Councillor, the title is in fact a joke as he doesn't own any crystals. Mostly annoyed by everything and grumpy, this is his form when out of angel armor. Indeed, in fact, Starwalker is the star in Angel's knight armor helmet that allows her to feel, see, and taste. And naturally, when not doing those functions, he feels useless and grumpy. Indeed, the angel has two forms: one as an angel, floating with a demonic eye, and one as a knight, with an appearance reminding the delta rune and feather wings.
Susie[]
Originally bullies of Kris, they became rapidly less menacing to them, realizing they were bolder than they seemed, accepting Kris as the leader of the group. But she will realize rapidly that Kris isn't really an innocent, peaceful friend and will see her relationships and affiliations modify over time. Even if she looks tough, she will be quite affected by the events and have an excess of rage and need to vent. In love with Noelle, she will sadly face the truth: she got a lot and was manipulated by Kris, unable to be saved. She is the second member of the group called "Delta Warriors".
Ace[]
Like Bishop, the sixth apostle is a chill and welcoming individual who welcomes everyone like friends, but the Delta Guardians found him in a delicate state as Noelle threw him out of the Ice Palace, fully crazy after turning most of the Darkners of the memory world into snow mounds or ice crystals. He escaped with a melody to warn the angel at the entrance of the dark world.
Angel, aka The Knight[]
A floating, quite scary creature, composed of a shadow mantle from which come two scythes hands, a glimmering shadow crystal as a tail, and one huge demonic eye as a head. But the appearance is misleading, as the angel is very caring, kind, and protective, even if she looks like a demonic angel. She owns a dark world, a citadel, with the hope of taking care of any Darkner she may save, but she is also very interested in gathering what she calls "Councillors", which are strong Darkners owning shadow crystals, in order to accomplish her plan of creating a perfect world with a bright future and freeing Darkners of their sad lives. The Dark Citadel possesses a moonlight beam focused thanks to a giant shadow crystal that ends on the plaza, allowing you to travel to Hometown, ending in the church. The citadel also features the Primordial Dark Light Fountain. Want to cause the fusion, an event during which light and dark worlds fuse together, bringing peace as everyone is brought back to life, the concept of darkners and lightners disappearing to only citizens?

He grew attached to Vessel and the Delta Guardians to help them through the progress around Occult World.

Mike refused, and a never-ending fight is now happening between the Cathode crew from Mike and the Technocolor team from Tenna. Like a fight between old times and nostalgia against technology and modernism. Compared to other councillors, as the third councillor, he is not hostile, even with the shadow crystal.

He is able to manipulate any Darker or Lighter and modify environments with his computer or make signs with his hands. The only two people he can't manipulate are Kris and Vessel, which we refer to as real. The rest is just a simulation of lines of code. His revelation to Vessel about the truth of the world and why nothing matters kind of disturbs them until they find a compromise at the end. The whole world is referred to as an experiment; he confesses he even created the angel and designed the appearance of the dark world, his first alive creation, the first Darker, being Ralsei. Only at the end is it revealed that the light world is the one of Asriel, full of peace, whereas the dark world is the one of Chara, where the darkest desires and manipulation can occur. And he created this reality to bring them together again. Ralsei is in fact a receptacle of Asriel memories, and Kris is a receptacle of Chara ones.
