So I got a bunch of undertale soul OCs
And I decided that I'm gonna share them with the internet in order of creation.
The Patience Soul
Hope (she/her)
She's the first of the human soul OCs I have, I've had her for years at this point. She's a sweet little girl who's happy to sit and wait when she's told to. She was blind, and her parents couldn't afford to care for her, so they had to give her up to the orphanage with the plan to earn enough money to be able to take care of her (sadly, that would never happen). Her ribbon was the last gift she got from her parents before they died tragically.
Now *initially* I didn't consider whether Hope would be a pre-undertale soul (before the game) or a post-undertale soul (after the game). Buuut I do have a basic idea of how she would've fallen underground if she was a pre-undertale soul.
See, not every human is a good person (there has to be a reason that Chara didn't like humanity, after all), and not every kid in the orphanage that Hope stayed was very nice to her. Some of those kids were cruel enough to bring Hope up the mountain and push her down.
The Justice Soul
Astrea (she/her)
She is the first Soul I made after Hope and was made very recently, much like the rest of the souls. I made her on whim, really, and the rest of the souls followed. Took some inspiration from Starlo with her poncho, and as a nod to Clover (and the omega flowey fight), I put a clover on her hat.
Something I did with Astrea and all the other souls is find names that mean whatever their soul trait is. "Astrea" comes from Astraea, the Greek goddess of justice. (It's also a spacey name, which gave me a good excuse to put stars on her poncho)
Clever, right?
Anyway, much like Clover in yellow, Astrea goes up the mountain in search of the humans that went missing before her.
The Perseverance Soul
Perry (he/they)
Perry is one of those bookworm types with a passion for writing and journalism. He carries a notebook everywhere he goes, so he's always able to write down his thoughts. (Kinda like me, except I carry paper around to draw with LOL)
Perry (at least of the site I initially found it) is a gender neutral name that's a "playful take on perseverance", but it also means traveller, pilgrim, or "one who dwells by the pear tree" which is neat too I guess.
Being a journalist in the making, Perry most likely went up the mountain to write a story about the monsters that live there, to get the truth about what they're really like.
The Bravery Soul
Casey (they/them)
Casey is one of those kids that will sock you in the nose if you do something to hurt their friends. The first thing they'll do is punch you. They aren't afraid of getting in trouble. (Ngl, they do seem to dance on the line between brave and reckless sometimes, at least in my mind... idk, still developing their character a bit)
Fun fact, when making Casey, I had *no idea* what wether I was gonna make them a boy or a girl, and in the end, I decided on neither.
Casey's name means watchful, vigilant, and brave.
They probably went up the mountain seeking adventure, not sure tbh. Casey and the next two souls are the ones I haven't fully figured out reasons for going up the mountain yet.
The Kindness Soul
Winnie (she/her)
Winnie is an absolute sweetheart, as you can imagine with her being the kindness soul. And, of course, she has a passion for cooking.
Winnie's name doesn't *directly* mean kindness. It means fair and pure (or that's just one meaning)
She probably went up the mountain to find some ingredients.
The Integrity Soul
Olive (They/Them)
I wanted to do something different with Olive because most of the versions of the integrity soul I've seen were all girls, so I decided to try and make a boy. But of course, I ended up changing them to look like they could be either gender (not that Olive would really mind if they're misgendered. I'm thinking they're more fluid than anything.)
Olive is one of those people who usually has their head in the clouds, if that's the right away of describing them. (They're sort of like a Luna lovegood type of character if that helps, but a little more chill?)
I actually chose the name "olive" because I kept seeing the name "oliver" and I thought I'd go for something more gender neutral.
Olive is (of course) a name derived from the olive tree, which "signals a time of integrity and peaceful power, when we are being asked to own the decisions we made"
Pretty cool.
I have no idea why Olive would go up the mountain.
Okay, so then, if these characters are the humans that fell before frisk, how would they lose their souls?
I will take a note out of UTY's book and say that, presuming they were all pasifistic, all of them gave up their souls willingly.
I think doing this would fit their soul traits, too.
Hope gives up her soul, knowing that she'll be helping to free the monsters with a little patience
Casey gives up their soul to help the monsters stay brave
Olive does it because they think it's the morally right thing to do, showing integrity
Perry does it to help the monsters perservere
Winnie does it out of kindness
And much like Clover, Astrea does it to bring them justice
(Okay so some of the reasoning might be stretching it, but still)
Delving into a bit of AU territory
Something I like to think happens as well is that every soul that dies becomes a ghost that follows the next soul that falls, so the first Soul would be alone, the next soul would have the first soul, the third would have the first two souls, and so on so forth until frisk who has seven ghost children (including chara, who was awoken by frisk's determination) following them around.
And then when the souls are used to break the barrier, they return to their bodies, and they all live together with frisk.
"But how would that be possible?" I hear you asking, "How come their bodies are still healthy enough to return to?"
Mmmmmmagic!
If anyone wants to know more or have any questions about these guys or the "Souls AU," feel free to ask!
