A WALTZ ALONG A RAZOR'S EDGE

Official introductions and facts on The Fate Brothers

So as I become more and more active with my presence here (I soon hope that I can do the same with my other platforms), I want to introduce more of my aus and original and fan ideas that I have. And what better way than introduce some of my (revamped) Undertale Multiverse ocs. If some of you remember, I made two mini posts of a vague intro to some of them, one explaining the feeling of deja vu and the other being some doodle concepts. As I step back into this fandom, I can't wait to see how these project ideas will grow more. And now I introduce to you all *drum roll*...The Fate Brothers!!

Pendulum, The Cardholder:

The eldest for The Fate brothers, first born from The Ancient Gods. (Roughly 800 years old), height is 5’2

Specializes with predictions, tarot cards, and illusions. (Also has the iconic bone powers and abilities as most Sanses do despite not being a Sans.) He uses his cards to help aid humans and monsters as cards of fate from moving on, to be giving luck, etc. 

(Jokingly as well) nicknamed “The Magician” by his brothers, Pendulum is able to create and temporarily solidify his illusions to use as pawns and players in his games, training, or when threatened in battle. This is not much limited to his tarot cards, but also the often thought traditional deck of cards.

Pendulum and his brother, Sastro, use their prediction abilities to help detect and locate potential magic leaks within the Multiverse. Using a Watcher's Eye, he is able to keep track of the worlds and other “guardians”, such as Ink, Error, Dream, and Nightmare, for example.

The bearer of Patience and known as The Cardholder, Pendulum is very open minded when it comes to one's own life; embracing changes and allowing others to grow and learn. Peppy, go-lucky, and a go with the flow attitude, Pendulum often forgets his half divine status of being an obscure divine forgotten as time goes by, relatively being the one most aloof, and head in the clouds. Although being a bearer of patience, he is fiercely protective of his family and domain; often being the one to place himself on the frontlines of any threats.

He enjoys playing games, savory foods, glass art, magic/illusion shows, and karaoke.

 Sastro, The Astrologist:

The second eldest of The Fate Brothers, second born of The Ancient Gods. (Roughly 800 years old), height is 5’11

Specializes with predictions as well but uses the stars instead, zodiacs, retrogrades, astral projections, herbology, and stones. (Taught by the Aura Goetia demon Prince of Astrology, Stolas). He also uses the “Watcher’s Eye” like his brothers, spying upon the aus and timelines to keep in check and to locate where the potential magic leak could be. His prediction abilities are based off of ones own star alignments; such as their zodiac, planet, sun and moon risings, etc.

To detach yourself from ones own true physical form and earth is something quite tricky that most have to do a many; for Sastro, that is just another part of his job. (Jokingly also) nicknamed “The Astronaut” as he’s learned to prefect it and used to help keep watch of others without much detection as well as the Watcher’s eye’s aid. 

Paired with his youngest brother in some projects, Clover, both skeletons have much knowledge of potions, medicinal herbs and remedies, poisons, and etc, the both sharing their knowledge and findings to continue finding new ways of their shared research. Rose quarts, Onyx, or Obsidian; Sastro has quite a slight obsession of stones and their various properties, such as healing, paint or make-up, etc. Infusing and refining said stones with his or his brothers essence/magic. He used these stones as special aid or as tools, such as flash bangs, to help aid in sudden altercations.

The bearer of Determination and known as The Astrologist, Sastro is the more colder and serious of his brothers; often just wanting to do his job and part of keeping the balance of the multiverse. Often tasked alongside of his brother, Sastro is tasked with the more knowledge aspect with the stars; fitting as out of the 4, he is the one that chooses to be more connected with his divine status. Although he is unwelcoming at first, treat him well and take some interest of his work; you will find (allegedly) one of the most warm hearted (soul) and gentle of the god siblings to exists. (Think sorta like Nanami from JJK).

He enjoys books (a guilty pleasure is romance), pastries, astrology, geology, foreign films, grandma candies, and archery.

  Calame, The Soul Fire:

The third eldest of The Fates Brothers, third born of the Ancients. (Roughly 800 years old), height is 5’10

Specializes within human and monsters emotions and key parts of ones own souls and feelings, fire, self care and self love, and the enjoyment of life. From this, he can use said persons or his own emotions to theirs or his own gain; gaining another title from his brothers as “The Gaslighter” as much as “The Soul Fire”. He also posses the Watcher’s eye as his older brothers, he uses his to keep track of the more unstable outcodes or incodes.

A connection to ones own souls and emotions, Calame aids (or controls (aka gaslighter) others with an understanding of the human or monster souls, this results in helping said aid igniting their own soul fire and passions. As well as being someone positive (for the most part, he tries to be), he can be a bit manipulative and vindictive if he is put in the right mood. Objectively out of the 4 brothers, he is the most dangerous and possibly unstable with his extensive knowledge of emotional, mental aid, and manipulation; but chooses to remain docile and helpful, wanting to just have fun and make music.

The closest to his baby and oldest brother, Clover (The Healer, The Plague Doctor or The Doctor) and Pendulum (The Cardholder or The Magician), Calame help one another with not only some of his baby brother’s alchemy and potions testing; but an aid to help improve their and their students forms of magic with Pendulum as well. (He and Sastro often clash heads with each other, logic v.s heart sorta deal). As well as being dangerous, he a being that often wants peace and fun for others; to enjoy their lives and be fulfilled and validated with their emotions. He becomes more present around more of the holidays. 

The (surprising) bearer of Integrity and known as The Soul Fire, Calame is more intelligent and aware than what most people think (excluding his brothers and their shared students). He may be a manipulator in some cases to his advantage, but he often means well to the ones that he cares for deeply; wanting only calmness and fun throughout the multiverses, rarely any fighting at all. To somewhat let loose, have fun, and somewhat curb his drama causing tendencies; Calame has turned part of his special realm within the (hidden multiverses) neutral zones into a nightclub of sorts, welcoming most and all people from different aus and timelines that know of the multiverse to let loose themselves, eat, drink, and dance (as long as not fights or violence happens within his club).

He enjoys making music, fashions (specifically rave, cyber/tech, and scene), partying, sour candies, surfing, good vibes (to sometimes eat, think Beelzebub from Helluva Boss and Dionysus from any greek media, my personal favorite is from the Hades games).

Clover, The Healer:

The fourth eldest (and youngest) of The Fate Brothers, fourth born of the Ancients. (Roughly 800 years old), height is 6’2

Specializes in healing not only ones own bodily injuries, but also the second half of healing ones own mind and soul. A combination of his own magic, human magic (and alchemy), and a newfound combination of the two different magic types. (The first two classifying with both older and newly found combo version of human and monster magic.). As well as helping heal physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wounds; Clover is also capable of poisoning and corrupting said wounds more if angered too much. (But that is very rare as he is the second most patient of his brothers.)

With his Watcher’s eye, he is able to keep an eye on all of the different souls/magic essence that is created and flows throughout the many universes/multiverses and timelines. (That includes outcodes and one with no or barely a soul at all.) From there, he could locate any potential patients that have been hurt or corrupted and relay the info to his siblings so that they could potentially locate where the magic leakage and or hurt/corrupted soul may be. He is also the second most dangerous of the Fates due to also having an unpredictable nature and second quick to anger.

Known as “The Healer”, “The Doctor”, “Plague Doctor”, or “The Alchemist”; a thirst for knowledge of all forms of magic and science is very present and an a mysterious of most. Clover is often self isolates within the shared home or within his realm attached to their neutral zones. That paired with out of all the appearance of the four, he is the most creepy and unsettling of his chosen aesthetics of taken inspiration of a patchwork, stitched up rag doll with a stylized plague doctor (Only his students and his brothers know what his face looks like.).

Appearances are a fool to most. Many avoid the masked skeleton despite being a well trained healer and one of the most kindest souls to have ever existed within the multiverses. His brothers often help with his experiments with understanding magic, testing his potions, his oils and poisons; spell bottles are present in place of his own magic as he can not use or control his own magic after his incident.

The bearer of Kindness and (most) known as The Healer, many choose not to know the youngest Fate due to his off-putting, more darker and gothic appearance to his three older siblings. Their shared students have no fear and are often the ones he receives affection from (as well as his siblings), often coming to him for advice and his teaching them the different magic styles. Easily adaptable to new environments, he is surprisingly the one that needs to be kept on a leash or an eye kept on him as he has a tendency to space out, get distracted and wander around the area.

He enjoys baking/cooking, scrapbooking, making handmade things like paper or fruit jams/jellies, discovering new potions and magic uses, travel, and books (romance books are also a guilty pleasure.)

I am so excited to answers any questions that you have on them, I would love to say that their Q&A is officially open! Although I am not as well known and popular of a creator, making these guys are so much fun and I can't wait to do more of them! Thank you all and I hope that you have a good day/night! Madam out!

Teehee, mini sneak peeks. >:3

to be continued …

Venti is canonically non-binary

So, I already supported this idea, since there are several moments in-game that show that all gods are somewhere on the non-binary spectrum. That mostly relies on the fact that they can assume several forms, including non-humanoid forms, and when presenting as human they don’t always have the same appearance - for example, Zhongli has canonically been female at some point. And also an elder. And other appearances that I don’t remember right now. So that always made me suspect that they don’t have a defined identity.

But now I would like to show this stream from Aether’s english VA, Zach: [www]

He invites Venti’s english VA, Erika Harlacher, for the stream, since he was pulling for Venti. Anyway, he asked her about her auditioning process and she said that, while she auditioned for Lisa (!!!), she was later called to try for Venti, that was described to her as a “genderless god that presents as a boy”. Timestamp: 40:05

So… I think it’s official now?

That makes me SO happy, since I’m non-binary myself and we are rarely represented and it’s even rarer in plot-relevant characters, and you can see how so many people were excited during the stream ^~^ 

But it’s a pity that most people will keep seeing Venti as just a boy, especially because this didn’t came from an official statement from Mihoyo. Or, i guess indirectly it did since it was the description given to the VA, but not to the public.

I would also be glad if the gods were referred with they/them pronouns. At least by characters that mean the gods like Barbatos or Rex Lapis and who recognize that their gods can change how they present themselves - obviously it wouldn’t make sense for a character that doesn’t know that Venti/Zhongli are those gods to treat them the same way they would treat the god. Unless I suppose, if Venti/Zhongli atually used they/them pronouns daily while still keeping their identities as gods as a secret, but that would imply that non-binary people were normalized in Teyvat and I doubt that decision could ever come from a company in China. 

Anyway, I like he/him Venti and it’s ok considering he is presenting as SPOILERS the friend that he lost END OF SPOILERS, but he/they? Perfection.

wow the new dlc is great
