Deltarune: Fool's Fate Chapter 1 Bosses
Now that I've posted Remie's ref, time for the main bosses of Chapter 1 of Fool's Fate! Why are there two? Why not? (Really it's to make it easier to cram like, 14, 15ish tarot cards into 10 chapters?)
Tumblr media
The rulers of the attic Dark World. Or more accurately, the leader and her right hand man. Upon entering the attic Dark World and after meeting Remie, Chicago and CK (and Broadway) run into The Magician (aka The Magnificent Magician Magico) first as he barges through Remie's little fortress to stop the Lightners from closing the Dark Fountain in the name of the The High Priestess (or High Priestess Bailette who isn't properly met until the very end of the chapter.)
Magician fills a sort of Lancer/Queen role, following and trying to thwart the party as they traverse the attic world, all the while, idolizing his Priestess. Being very active and eccentric as well as trying to test the party's (pr specifically Chicago's) potential.
The Priestess, meanwhile, is only mentioned throughout the chapter until you fight her and Magician in the final battle. Her presence is felt but she's rarely seen. Even when you do finally meet her, she's cool,, level-headed, and quiet.
Even in the final battle, Priestess isn't actually shown to attack that much, mostly providing support by boosting Magician's attack and using some support attacks that are easy to dodge on their own.
Their names (at least the ones they tend to go by) are derived from the tarot cards that inspire them. Magician being, well, the Magician, and Priestess being the High Priestess. (For the names Magico and Bailette, Bailette comes from a previous iteration of this story, The Puppet and The Real Boy, and is a pun on ballet, baile, and the name suffix -ette. Magico is just derived from magic and I added an -o to the end) Asides from being inspired by tarot cards in both name and personalities, their actual Light World items are a magic kit and a ballerina music box.
Backstory under the cut
Once just a simple Pirolette among the choir, Bailette wasn't really anyone of note. She played her role, she sung her part, as just another voice in the crowd of sopranos representing the populus of the attic world.
Yet even despite her small role, Magico (head of the Baritone/Bass section) was completely enamored with her. He found her voice alluring, its soft and quiet notes matching her gentle and subdued personality. ... And so it turns out, Magico wasn't the only one whom Bailette had caught the eye of either...
For one day a Knight arrived to the land. Twisted ribbons dancing in the wind as they stabbed into the earth to give this world its form. A great geyser of darkness flowing forth and amazing all the Darkners who witnessed. After wards, the Knight declared the Lightners the Darkners worshipped abandoned them long ago, leaving them up here to rot and collect dust.
The Knight then pointed to Bailette, appointing her the land's new Priestess and leader and warning her that soon a group of Lightners will arrive, only to try and seal the Fountain the Knight just opened. Soon after, the Knight disappeared, leaving the attic world to it's own devices.
Now left on the throne, Priestess went a bit mad with power. She locked up anyone who dared to oppose her and started plotting silent revenge against the Lightners who had abandoned them and their world. She appointed Magico as her head Magician and right hand, her loyal guard who was tasked with carrying out her will. The Magician was happy to oblige, still madly in love. She was his Priestess, and he was her loyal Magician. Together they ruled from the top of the Choral Chapel. ... Until a group of Lightners stumbled into the world, just as the Knight foretold.

Quick Undertale ramblings on the alarm clock and religion portrayal
Howdy and Hola, friends. So a while ago on my Asriel character arc post, doloresbernathypiplup and admiral2019 were asking about whether or not I was following the winter alarm clock dialogue and how Asriel's conversion to Christianity works in Wholehearted when it seems like the Foxverse cast has their own religious system. While I did answer those questions in the comment section, I wanted to describe my answers more eloquently in one post so that no communication gaffs happen. I'm also afraid that I came off too dismissive or blunt without intending to, so I wanna give more detail as to my opinions on both, since both dolores and admiral have understandably decent questions.
...
First, the alarm clock dialogue. I DON'T consider it canon. This is probably an unpopular opinion on tumblr, but I don't take it as canon. The reasons why I don't are, 1.) the project got canceled and never fully released. If the project were finished, then there's a possibility things would be different. But, even though dialogue got released, the clock never got finished like Undertale itself did. 2.) Toby has said before that merch isn't canon, but if the clock were released in full in an alternate timeline, then it would perhaps stretch into the "merchandise" category. In that scenario, a fully released clock being canon would be contradictory since it then becomes merch in the manner of a downloadable app. And 3.) the Undertale wiki has described the clock as "dubiously canon," which puts a question mark on canon reliability for the clock as well.
It's cool if others treat the clock as canon; I'm fine with that. But my own wish and hope are that anyone who stumbles across my story will understand *why* I don't personally consider it canon and thus don't follow it as a reference point in my works (and for understandable reasons) and are willing to agree to disagree with me. As long as people can roll with that and not try to discredit my work simply because I don't agree with the clock and are cool with agreeing to disagree instead, we're all good here.
...
Now, portraying Asriel as a believer in my works. I know people have discussed before that the monsters seem to have a religion based around the "Angel" and thus, why would Asriel convert to Christianity in the Wholehearted series, especially considering the "Angel religion" as we'll call it? I'll also explain more about that here.
Undertale and Deltarune are confirmed to be on two separate timelines. This point of reference is *really* important, because just because some lore is portrayed one way in Deltarune doesn't mean a writer has to *follow* said lore in an Undertale-based story, and vice versa. This is due to them being on different timelines, and thus part of why I can write Asriel as a Christian in an Undertale based story without worrying about Deltarune. Let's get into that now.
In Deltarune, we have a fully-fledged religion based around the Angel. Lighteners worship the Angel as their god, and there's a full church system based around him. Not only that, but characters like Asriel, Toriel, Monster Kid, and Reverend Alvin faithfully worship the Angel in said game, with Asriel even being a church choir boy and a religious ska enjoyer. How does this differ in Undertale? Well, we hear of an Angel prophecy where the Angel, who has seen the surface, will free the monsters one day (which is revealed to be Asriel/Flowey). However, there are many *key* differences here. In Undertale, while the prophecy speaks very positively about the Angel, we never see any church system, nor religious ska, nor choir, nor worship system build on the Angel at all. Asriel/Flowey/the Angel is treated more like a mysterious folk hero. But in Deltarune, on the other hand, the Angel is worshipped, revered, sung about, and has a full church system built upon him. We also don't know if Asriel/Flowey is the Angel yet in that game or not. Due to those fundamental differences between games, we can safely conclude that while the Angel religion is indeed a thing in Deltarune, it's *not* necessarily a religion in Undertale and is more left up to interpretation due to being far more vague and less evidence for existing as a full-scale religion in Undertale.
As for me writing Asriel as a Christian in Wholehearted, it's for many reasons. 1.) When I learned that he loved religious ska and was a faithful choir boy in Deltarune, I just translated those elements over to my Undertale post-pacifist work as a neat little easter egg thing. 2.) I'm a believer myself, and I wanted to insert a little personal part of myself into Asriel's character to give me more motivation to write. 3.) The motive for him becoming a Christian is to be free from his past and finally feel clean, wanting to be permanently forgiven for all he's done. This is explained in Wholehearted Half-Souls chapter 2, where the narrator explains that he now wears "a wooden cross necklace also dangles around Asriel's neck, reaching down to the upper part of his chest. Being a religious child of faith, he is now renewed *with hope of finally being free, and being permanently forgiven for his past.*" He also says in a later chapter (WHHS, chapter 13) that he was never a real God, and he was very arrogant in that claim, helping develop his growth in humility.
For those reasons, Asriel being a Christian is understandable for multiple reasons and both from a "Deltarune translation over to Undertale" easter egg perspective (with some tweaks) and a character arc perspective. I'll be focusing on his conversion more, however, in Wholehearted Origins, with "First Day" releasing during the next few weeks. That story takes much time to focus on how he's seeking permanent forgiveness and wants to come to terms with his past. That's the origin of how he becomes a believer in my work. And hey, considering all the guilt he's built up, it makes sense as to why he would do such. As long as that motive is there, it helps me avoid being too preachy or on the nose in my stories.
...
I'm sorry if I was too blunt or dismissive in the comments. That was not my intention, and I want to give a more fully-fledged answer now so that everyone knows I'm not mad or angry with anyone. I just have thought a lot about this and feel passionate about it. In any event, thanks to both delores and admiral for their questions and interest.
I'll leave it here for now. Take care, friends. I'll see you guys this weekend for the official release of chapter 2 of "First Day" on AO3 and Wattpad.

I want Asriel Deltarune to have gone through a phase where he wanted to stop being a choir boy and instead be in a metal band and even though he left that phase he just has the vocal capabilities of doing the death metal growl and Kris asks him to do it when they blast a metal cover of video game music in the car before school

Alright, Deltarune...
“Along with Jibrail, Mīkhā'īl and Isrāfīl, the Angel of Death, called Azrail (عزرائيل) is one of the archangels of the Islamic faith.[3] He and his subordinate angels[4] are responsible for taking the souls of the deceased away from the body.[5] Azrail does not act independently from God; he takes only those souls which he has been commanded to take. Rather than merely representing an independent personified death, Azrail is described in Islamic sources as subordinate to the will of God "with the most profound reverence".[6]In one tradition, Death and Azrael were once two separate entities, although in Islamic traditions, the lines between death personified and Azrael are blurred. Accordingly, God created death, and entrusted Azrael to him. The Kitab ahwal al-qiyama offers a detailed account of death and its relation to Azrael.[7]”
(From Wikipedia)
In DeltaRune, Asriel is a “Golden Boy:” He’s a social butterfly, has multiple awards for sports and academics, seems to be at university despite presumably being the same age at Kris, and was a devoted follower of the church who was possibly the best member of the church choir. 
In other words, he may be an all-star athlete, have an amazing singing voice, be a genius, and also be very socially liked... Essentially, he’s great at everything. These are common qualities of an angel given human form in many pieces of media.
Kris, on the other hand, is socially awkward and has no friends, is a troublemaker, has no awards, and never goes to church. His only notable skill mentioned is that he can play the piano pretty well. What’s more is that he’s the “equivalent” of Chara, said to be a demon and a monster, and the whole ending sequence...
Thus I propose: Asriel is an angel, and Kris is a demon. This will play into the prophecy of stopping “The Angel’s Heaven.”
