Tantamount has gone through a reboot, so some info here might be non-canon. |
Tantamount is an Undertale AU created by FmsDraws, which takes the structure created by Storyshift and applies it to Underswap- which is also known as SwapShift, and gives it a twist. Unlike some AUs, the characters' personalities are not altered in the slightest, although they are obviously affected by their circumstances.
The story is told in a sprite comic format, similar to that of AUs such as Inverted Fate or Scramble Saga. There's only been 8 parts released of the preboot story: one canonical crossover, one shot with StorySwap Color, and the full Frisk Genocide Battle, which is divided in 3 parts.
It was later rebooted with a trailer that was posted on YouTube along with two reboot comics being released on Tumblr later on.
The AU crossovers canonically with the StorySwap Color AU.
Character Changes[]
Seeing as this AU follows SwapShift's role structures, the roles are:
- Chara becomes the protagonist of the story. They are a talkative one, and comments and interacts with the characters throughout the story.
- Mettaton becomes the empty one of the story, adopting the name of "Star". Thus far, he's been shown to run shows in the Ruins.
- Sans is the caretaker of the ruins, but he's still his good ol' self. He invites Chara to have a meal in Part 3 of the main story.
- Undyne becomes the recluse one, a member of the Royal Guard that goes to the Ruins to meditate every now and then.
- Frisk takes the judge role, they're a human that's lived underground for many years now, and they're fully aware of LOADs and RESETs, as explained in the genocide fight.
- Although still technically replacing Monster Kid, Asriel (nicknamed Azzy) is featured in Snowdin, along with Monster Kid, the proper Papyrus replacement and the ambitious one.
- Asgore is the captain of the royal guard, not much info is known about him. This also is the case for Toriel (who is the royal scientist), Alphys (who becomes the celebrity), Napstablook (Who hasn't shown up at all in the Preboot but makes an appearance in the Reboot comic) and Papyrus (who is the current monarch).
Additional Changes[]
- Areas like the Ruins seem to have implemented original layouts, however, this doesn't seem to be the case for preboot Snowdin, which generally seemed to have decorations sprinkled throughout.
- Preboot Tantamount Frisk and Storyswap Color Chara seem to have a somewhat romantic relationship. However, they don't actually date... yet.
