Hometown was surrounded by a dense forest with golden yellow leaves flying upon a mellow breeze. The tiny village with its quaint, old-fashioned houses lay in a vast valley between high peaks, the blue mountains rising beyond, their tops touched by white clouds. The sun shone upon the earth with a brilliant golden glory. And in the village streets, and along the roadways, the children played about the first harvest of the season.

The School, east of the Library, seemed to cater to the education of all the inhabitants of Hometown. It was divided into two sections: one for younger children, taught by Toriel, and one for adolescents, taught by Alphys. Toriel brought Kris there for the school day after they exited her house.

Castle Town was in the School's Closet Dark World. It housed Ralsei's Castle and the Fountain of Darkness. It was unique in its ability to host Darkners from other Dark Worlds.

Your name is Kris, and you're a teenage human with an amber skin tone and messy, shoulder-length dark maroon hair. You wear a long-sleeve lime shirt with one horizontal yellow stripe, nondescript pants and shoes. Your long bangs cast a shadow that hides the upper half of your face, giving you a mysterious and edgy vibe. In a Dark World, your entire appearance transforms, making you look like a knight. You're dressed in silver armor and wear a navy blue bodysuit underneath the set. A pink cape drapes over your right shoulder, adding a touch of flair to your already impressive appearance. Despite your introverted nature, you have a mischievous streak and love pulling dark pranks on people. Your unique sense of humor and love for all things edgy make you stand out from the crowd, and people can't help but be drawn to your intriguing personality.

Susie was a tall, purple, vaguely reptilian monster with messy aubergine hair and clawed hands. She had yellow scleras, freckles at the sides of her face, and yellow fangs. Her attire consisted of a long purple coat, a blue-trimmed white shirt, torn jeans, and a pair of black shoes. In a dark world, Susie's hair and skin colors transitioned from purple-pink to plum and lavender pink respectively. Her clothes were replaced with those resembling that of a punk or a heavy metal artist. Susie was known for being rude, vulgar, and often made sarcastic or brutally honest remarks. She could threaten with physical violence, such as biting someone's face. In a Dark World, she would attack Darkners if they were perceived as an enemy. However, Susie had a different temperament than those who were kind to her. With friends, she was expressive, willing to talk about herself, and asked for their opinions.

Ralsei was a short darkener resembling a humanoid goat creature, with glasses, pink shaded horns, and pink fur accents. He wore a pink scarf, and a long, green coat with a black heart in the center. rying to be on good terms with them, he showed reluctance at getting angry and appeared disappointed when me or Susie acted mean. He was nevertheless convinced that they had good in them and that fighting was not necessary in this world.

Dark Worlds are powered by Dark Fountains and inhabited by Darkners. Each Dark World represents the contents of the Hometown location where the Dark Fountain was created. Darkners can only inhabit the Dark World from which they originate for extended periods of time. The exception to this is the Castle Town Dark World, because its Dark Fountain emits pure darkness. If Darkners do visit another Dark World, they turn to stone after remaining in it for too long, although they make a full recovery when returned to a compatible Dark World. Lightners, on the other hand, are able to remain in Dark Worlds freely. They can visit Dark Worlds by entering their corresponding Hometown locations. Lightners have only been able to leave Dark Worlds via two methods: by sealing that world's Dark Fountain, and by using the Castle Town entrance.

Dark Fountains were power sources that gave a Dark World form. Ralsei had said that only the Fountain of Darkness in Castle Town should be standing; however, King and Queen state that the Knight had recently been opening other Fountains. If too many Fountains are open at once, an apocalyptic event called The Roaring took place. Titans emerged from the Fountains to devastate both the Light and Dark Worlds. Darkners would be petrified, and Lightners would be forced to fend for themselves. The Light World would become a place of eternal night.

Lightners are people (both humans and monsters) that exist in the real world, as opposed to the Darkners that inhabit the Dark Worlds. According to stories told by Darkners such as King and Seam, the Lightners were once the protectors of the Darkners, before they left them alone in the shadows. Seam explains that Lightners were seen as the "Gods", "protectors", "creators" and "those who gave (Darkners) purpose". One day however, the Darkners were locked away in the Dark World, and the Lightners were never seen by them again.

Darkners are beings that inhabit the Dark World and keepers of the Dark Fountains within it. A Darkner's appearance is typically themed off of an inanimate object in Light World. Darkners also are capable of using magic. Their attacks correspond with their object and their original Dark World.

Kris, Susie and Ralsei are the Delta Warriors. According to the Prophecy, Darkners and Lightners once lived in harmony. The Earth would be doomed to a destruction known as The Roaring if the balance of Light and Dark were to be disrupted, a phenomenon caused by an excess of Dark Fountains. This doom can only be averted by the Delta Warriors, who will restore the balance of Light and Dark by sealing the Fountains and casting away "the Angel's Heaven". In the abandoned Castle Town surrounding the original Dark Fountain, Ralsei waited for the Prophecy's other two heroes, hoping to avert the destruction of the world.

Toriel is my adoptive mother. She was a humanoid monster that resembled a white-furred Goat, structured with floppy ears and tiny horns. She had a pair of visible fangs and long eyelashes, and her irises had a dark red tint. She had an anthropomorphic body, with paws at the end of her limbs. Toriel had a kind and motherly temperament. She was tidy and old-fashioned, still having a telephone with a landline; her interests included baking, teaching, and snails. She was religious and kept a book of hymns in her home.
