Time of Last Story Update: June 12, 2021

Time of Cancellation:

JumbledTale is a switch-up AU that doesn't follow the conventional pairs, or even roles, as some roles are taken by multiple characters, and some characters take multiple roles. While the backstory is different from Undertale's, it isn't the reason behind most of the role changes.

The first human to fall down was not Chara, but the human with the Integrity Soul. She encountered Toriel, and while she was nice to the girl, she was scared and attacked her in a reflex, and before she realized it, Toriel was dying. Later on she encountered Asgore and Asriel, and they treated her with kindness, but when Asgore went looking for his wife, he only found her dust. Infuriated, he fiercely attacked the human, but a small white dog got caught in the barrage of attacks...

Candice[]

Candice is the 9th fallen human, and just like the first one, she posesses the Soul of Integrity. She has amnesia after her fall, only remembering her name and the fact she fell into the hole (but not how), but she can not remember anything else. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes, and she wears a light blue skirt with a white shirt. She does not carry any items with her as she falls down, and her first piece of equipment is given to her by Frisk instead, this being the Faded Ribbon.

The Murderous Ball[]

After the dog's accidental death, Asgore spread the dog's dust on a ball found nearby, the dog's favorite. However, years late he had forgotten about it, and accidentally gave it away for the DT experiments. Now it has become a soulless being with no empathy, seeing the Underground as "The unfriendly world where everybody has to die.". He often shakes around uncontrollably, and can rotate his face 360 degrees if he's in a weird angle.

Frisk and Chara[]

Frisk and Chara are the 8th and 7th fallen humans, and caretakers of the Ruins. There were only 2 days in between their falls, and Frisk discovered Chara when she was trapped due to a broken puzzle and got her out. After hearing about Asgore's anti-human policy, they decided to stay in the Ruins to protect themselves and other humans that would fall down. Frisk usually ventures into the Ruins to look for any humans that may have fallen and maintain the puzzles, while Chara stays home most of the time, as she is quite manipulative and aggressive, and once accidentally killed a Whimsun in frustration. Chara is also the one trying to keep Candice in the Ruins, while Frisk fights them in Genocide. During one of Frisk's explorations their stick absorbed spores of a heavily magical mushroom and got infused with it, now being a conductor of nature-based magic. Chara however has a natural ability to use magic, though due to her lack of training she heavily struggles to control it. Frisk and Chara are both young adults rather than children.

Muffet[]

Muffet and her clan never made it past the cold of Snowdin to Hotland, and after the Ruins got eventually abandoned, she and her spiders -the amount of which immensely decreased during the many attempts to leave the Ruins in the following years- had barely any company, and her family's bake sale barely got any visitors anymore. After her parents passed away in their desperate attempt to get through the cold, she fell into a depression, and she grew a hatred for the falling humans who had all ignored their problems. However, Frisk helped her as much as they could, and now she has developed a deep friendship with them, although she still is very untrusting towards other humans, especially Chara. She wears a sheet as cloak to hide her ragged clothes, held together by spider webs.

Mettaton[]

Mettaton is a ghost inhabiting a robotic body, living in Snowdin. He was created by Alphys to become a celebrity and human capturing robot, but with the sudden rise in popularity of Papyrus, with Alphys's help he decided to start on a smaller scale, starting a local comedy show in her restaurant, turning 3 sentry posts into small stores to advertise his shows and one into one that sells Face Steaks. However, he isn't very successful, so he spends a lot of time practicing making jokes and puns at the cost of capturing humans. He is always in his box form, as Alphys hasn't made an EX form yet, and his bowtie changes color depending on his location, pink for Snowdin, blue for Waterfall, red for Hotland and yellow for New Home. During Genocide, he manages to use some of Alphys's and Sans's blueprints and machines to manipulate the Judgement Hall's SAVE point in such a way it doesn't put Candice back in time, allowing the survivors to watch every single death they have lived via a camera he put there. Quote: "So you decided to return darling! Well, our viewers found your last death very enjoyable, so how about we give them more?..."

Alphys[]

Alphys is Snowdin's local inventor and puzzle maker, and usually gets bossed around (all in good fun, of course) by her partner and crush Undyne. She manages all of the puzzles in Snowdin, as Undyne hates making them and rather relies on brute force. She also owns a small café with anime on the TV 24/7 (not really but it sounds good), and has a few lab rooms below her house, one of which is built in a cave an old dog shrine once stood. She's far less anxious than her Undertale counterpart due to not having done the DT experiments, and has no intentions of becoming the Royal Scientist someday. She's one of the few people who knows of Frisk and Chara's existence, and together with Mettaton she leads a human fan club. Her secret style is a Mew Mew cosplay and in the café she's often seen with a "I love science" or Mew Mew T-shirt, and occasionally a Froggit T-shirt Mettaton made her for her birthday. She gets fought on the rope bridge, and her death causes Mettaton to disappear until the Judgement Hall and Undyne to become infuriated. She only has a hangout if both she and Undyne are spared.

Undyne[]

Undyne is the Royal Guard's latest member, and determined to kill a human to prove her worth, even though her friend Alphys would rather capture a human than kill one. She hates puzzles and rather relies on brute force, and also isn't a big fan of Mettaton, though she hates humans less than her UT counterpart. She dreams of leading the guard someday, even though it likely will never happen. If Alphys is killed on the rope bridge, she becomes infuriated and more tough to deal with, and in Genocide, Alphys turns her into Undyne EX, a cyborg form of herself. She has no hangout of her own, though busts in Alphys' hangout halfway through.

Flowey[]

Balley was not the only object taken for the DT experiments. There was one more, a golden flower, which happened to contain the dust of a monster named Glyde. Unlike Balley, he has more traits of his old self, as he died much more recently, and kept seeking attention like he did when he was alive.

Temmie[]

After her friend died, Temmie decided to take his place and abandoned her village, and decided to take Ragel with her. The other Temmies later died by a Hoives infestation caused by the 4th human.

River Person[]

River Person is a mysterious vendor going through the Underground, selling spells, plants with magical properties and predictions for the future to the inhabitants of the Underground. He still has the name River Person, because he used to sell his wares via the river, and the name stuck.

Mew Mew[]

The Mew Mew animatronic is still in the same place in Alphys' basement lab, but it's inanimate and doesn't attack.

Asriel[]

After his mother's death, Asriel hated humans, and trained under his father to be able to slay every human he could find. He wants to eradicate all of humankind, and doesn't even let the heat of Hotland stop him. However, his rage also turned him violent towards other monsters, and many deem him unfit for his position, but don't speak up out of fear.

In Genocide he turns into Angellic Asriel.

Gerson[]

Asriel's mentor, who tries to give him advice quite often. However, it rarely is accepted, as Asriel thinks he's too capable to need help. He also has a small boat he sometimes uses to bring people to other locations, to not get bored after his retirement.

Grillby[]

A fire elemental who got his bar taken away and sentenced to clean the dump after kicking Asriel out when he refused to pay his tab, because he was the Captain of the Guard. This wouldn't be an issue if the dump wasn't located in Waterfall and he wasn't a fire elemental. After 2 months trying not to die, he became desperate for a way out, and a human soul would be the perfect tool to get his revenge.

Grandpa Semi[]

The grandfather of Sans and Papyrus, a cranky old skeleton living in Waterfall, who tasked himself with cleaning up the mess Asriel makes. He especially hates the fact he keeps destroying the Disproportionally Small Gap Bridge if he suspects a human is in the Underground.

Susie[]

The aggressive shopkeeper of Waterfall, who gets pissed off by people who don't buy her wares, which include axes and chalk.

The Blook Family[]

The Blook Family -with the exception of Mettaton- now lives in the old Temmie village after Asriel forcefully kicked them out of their old home as retaliation for Mad Dummy pissing him off. Napstablook now started a small shop as an addition to his snail farm.

Emboo[]

The creator's self-insert, a purple ghost flame (the child of a fire elemental and a ghost) with a creepy yellow face, who once haunted the forests of Snowdin but now lives in the old Temmie village with his distant cousins. He loves darkness, spooky things, reading and listening to music. As he is made of fire, he hates water, as it is deadly to him.

Sans[]

Sans got the lab when Gaster took the throne in place of Asgore, and moved there together with his brother. He never created the Amalgamates, as instead Gaster did, though desperately tries to hide his father's mistake. He also has a hotdog stand at the third floor and works as Papyrus's camera man as side jobs. He's less lazy than classic Sans, trying his best to help his brother with his TV star career. He fights Candice in Genocide.

James Bone (Papyrus)[]

Papyrus moved together with Sans to Hotland and rapidly filled it with all kinds of puzzles, and also turned the CORE into a giant puzzle box. With his brother's help he started a action series, now going by the stage name of James Bone. He also has a side show about puzzles, cooking and (with Sans's help) science, called THE COOL DUDE SHOW, which is watched by many monsters. He does not have multiple forms, but does have multiple outfits for his different movies. WIP

Bratty and Catty[]

Bratty and Catty are mostly the same, except Papyrus often looks through their trash for scraps he can use for puzzles. Due to this they now have gotten into cooking, though just like Undertale Papyrus they're quite bad at it. Sans sometimes visits just to share his latest puns.

Spaghettipants and Ketchup Guy[]

Spaghettipants and Ketchup Guy are Papyrus Resort's dynamic shopkeeper duo, with Spaghettipants hating his job, but not talking needlessly to customers, and Ketchup Guy loving his job, but chatting with both customers and non-customers way too much. They also once -on Papyrus's and Sans's demand- invented ice cream with ketchup flavour and spaghettiburgers, which is the origin of their nicknames.

Wingdings Gaster[]

When Asgore vanished, Asriel was too occupied with his rage to take the throne, and instead Semi, one of his advisors, became the ruler until Asgore would either return or be confirmed dead. He decided to follow his king's original plan of taking 7 human souls to break the barrier, and was followed into his footsteps by his son Wingdings, the former Royal Scientist, after his death.

Perished_Youth[]

Asriel wasn't as forgiving towards Monster Kid's many times he got in the way, and at one moment, he lashed out towards him in anger and would've accidentally killed him, if not for his sister trying to protect him. Regretting his outburst, he brought him to Gaster to heal them. However, after the attempt they weakened quickly, and in one final attempt to save them he injected them with Determination, as the other Amalgamates hadn't woken up and melted yet. They Amalgamated a while after the others.

Snowdrake's parents[]

Both of Snowdrake's parents both became ill and became an Amalgamate. Due to this, Snowdrake now lives with Snowdrake.

Annoying Dog[]

A small white dog who got killed by accident and turned into a malicious ball. After he reverts back to his true form he annoyingly tries to reset the world for no real reason.

Toriel[]

The former queen of monsterkind, who now roams the Underground as a spectre, unable to be noticed by anyone except for the Amalgamates and the Goner Bird. She is the narrator.

Asgore[]

After the loss of Toriel, Asriel becoming cold and distant towards his father and cruel towards his subjects and the death of 4 innocent humans, Asgore couldn't handle it anymore and decided to vanish. Noone knows where he is, as noone else ever found his hiding place, and it is unknown whether he is even alive to begin with.

Gaster Followers[]

The Gaster Followers are mysterious beings tasked with finding Asgore. Almost nobody knows anything about them.

Goner Bird[]

This Bird used to carry people across the gap, but when Semi's bridge took his purpose away, something unexplainable happened. He slowly started to fade from existance, and will soon vanish completely. Even Gaster and Sans don't understand how and why this happens.

Location Changes[]

Ruins[]

The Ruins are a hideout for humans, separated from the rest of the Underground. Frisk isn't as overprotective as Toriel, and most puzzles are more difficult with the clues more hidden to encourage exploration, and multiple new rooms next to, above and below the old ones are discovered. Multiple of these puzzles are based around plants. Near Frisk and Chara's house are a lot of knifemarks, and there are decently more spiderwebs throughout the area, especially near the bake sale.

Snowdin[]

Snowdin's puzzles are now all managed by Alphys, and much more advanced.

Story[]

The rest of the story cannot be told yet.
