Undernarration? What's The Premise?

undernarration? what's the premise?

Thank you so much for this question! I didn’t realize that I never explained the premise for my au at all. I hope you don’t mind rambling because I’ve put a lot of thought into it and it’s a lot. So I’ll give you the simple version in the next paragraph and then a long winded explanation under it. Sorry if I jump from place to place as there is just so much to go over so far

For the simple answer, Narrators! When I was first making this AU, I saw an agreement on Narrator Chara. Or, at the very least, Chara adds flavor text with their thoughts here and there for certain dialogue. So I took this idea and made Narrators

I named it Undernarration because of this. Because, get it? It's under narration. There's silly narrators narrating it to you!!

Here's the main Narrator I focus on and some examples of what Narrators look like. They can be a variety of different shapes or pupils. But Narrators are usually eyes. Get it? They're the eyes in the sky!

Undernarration? What's The Premise?
Undernarration? What's The Premise?

Narrators control the key features of the ‘game’. They control the code, dialogue, characters, fix bugs that occur in the code during the playthrough, or whatever is needed to keep things canon to their design. Whether that be for the original Undertale game, fangames, or AUs. They do this for typically the Players’ enjoyment

Narrators typically view the worlds they create as just a means of code that needs to be maintained for the Players’ enjoyment and keep the Players coming back. Which ends when the Players’ fun ends

But in order for a Narrator to get the world going for the Player(s), they first need a Soul for the Player to exert control over. Hence, here comes good ole Frisk

For a Narrator to obtain a Soul, a Player needs to be interested in playing. With this interest, in the center of all code, Souls are generated. Thus, starts the rush of Narrators attempting to get their grubby hands on it to be the one to create a world for the Player.

Souls are usually easy to obtain but there are some stubborn Souls who do not wish to partake in the game. Usually leading them to dissolve so that a new Soul can be generated in its place to keep things moving along

Because in this universe (multiverse?), or at least this au, there ain’t many new Players or even Players at all dipping back into the game. Hence, leaving Narrators without a job to do so they just float around and enviously watch the Narrators who do have a Player

Undernarration? What's The Premise?

The one au I focus on for my au is of a new Narrator who hadn’t gotten a chance to create a world for a Player yet. Which leads to them striking an inconvenient deal with a Soul (aka Frisk) in order to get their Soul. Promising to grant them anything they want later as this was one of the more stubborn Souls who had no wish to partake in the game. And this is one very desperate Narrator who really wants to experience what the other Narrators have long since done

And unfortunately for this Narrator, the deal does come and bite them in the back when the Soul later wishes to view a True Pacifist run. Because the Player this Narrator has gotten, is one who’s determined to beat the fastest Genocide speedrun

Narrators are not supposed to interfere personally in the world in any shape or form. They’re only meant to keep things running from behind the scenes. But with this deal, well, this Narrator is going to have to interfere just a teensy bit. Nothing too much, right?

Things didn’t go to plan at all! And now the Narrator has to disguise themselves as a Monster to try and keep their end of the deal with the Soul buuuuut it seems the code may have become screwed due to having to block out the Player as they may or may not have disagreed and attempted to try and fight the Narrator instead

Undernarration? What's The Premise?

The dummy and ghost here is the Narrator trying to somewhat blend in. Using the stuffing of the dummy to summon arms when necessary. Otherwise, just a dummy to be carried around

When not a dummy, the Narrator takes the Ghost form that floats and follows around Frisk. Being used as a Save Point but Frisk might occasionally use them as a chair or for getting around destroyed parts of the map due to the warped code

I hope all of this makes sense and if I jumped from place to place or lost you anywhere - please let me know! I had to revise this answer a couple of times since it was missing key details or I forgot something

If you were a skeleton, I feel like you'd be a lot calmer. After all, nothing would be able to get under your skin.

Sincerely, It.

Can I see a full reference of your persona :0

Had to quickly make this because I realized the old one needed some revamping to fit my current style of the way I draw her! So, here she is!

Just a silly seal with little ears! And her mouth color is also her eye color. Just because I usually like keeping my palettes simple and around four colors!

Will eventually get around to making a pinned message with this reference in it one day.

They got confused about what you were asking. But usually, they stand in a spot (or move to another) and allow you to save in that area with the star on their chest! They can also retract their arms back into the wooly stuffing.

And calling them training dummy isn't offensive at all! Though you can shorten it to just 'Dummy'.
